Chapter 644: Three Apprentices

As they talked, the atmosphere at the table became more harmonious.

Zhang Qingshu, Hu Chongling, Li Xian and other younger generations pricked up their ears to listen to the stories about the Dragon Palace. After all, for them, such things were too far away.

However, Xie Mingcheng also heard it from hearsay, and most of his words were inquiries, while Li Ming used the style of the Spring and Autumn Annals, revised and recounted some of the situations in the Dragon Palace birthday banquet, which naturally aroused everyone's admiration.

Li Ming couldn't help but shake his head.

No wonder the drinking culture is still popular. Who doesn’t want to stand in a high position and let others listen to their bragging and see their admiring expressions?

Then Li Ming had an idea and suddenly started praising Hu Chongling, saying how sensible he was. Xie Mingcheng didn't notice it at first, but after Li Ming conveyed the secret message, he immediately understood.

He smiled and said, "Brother Li, don't just be envious. You yourself are unwilling to accept disciples. If you were willing to ask, the people who want to be your disciples would line up from here to Jingzhou."

Li Ming quickly shook his head and said, "No, it's just that ordinary people are not worthy of my attention. If there is really a young talent, how many people without a good background would look down on a lonely person like me?"

"Hahaha, you're just a lone ranger? Grandmaster Xiantian, what a reputation! If you weren't homeless, you would be at the top of the list of heroes in Dingzhou, Yunzhou, and so on. Although you haven't established any power, the Yue family in Nandu City owes you a favor, and the Dragon King values ​​you very much. Even the Marquis Dingyuan praises you highly, saying that you have a chivalrous heart and superb skills, which are rare in the world. They want to recruit you, but you have no intention of joining the government." Xie Mingcheng said so.
"Oh?" Li Ming raised an eyebrow and said, "Marquis Dingyuan did mention it. It's a pity that I'm used to being careless. Otherwise, I wouldn't still be wandering the world alone."

"Oh right." Hu Chong suddenly said with a flash of inspiration, "Hasn't Brother Zhang become my disciple yet?"

Zhang Qingshu was stunned for a moment, then pointed at his nose and said, "Me? But...but me."

He stuttered several times. He had heard Brother Hu praising Li Ming highly at the previous dinner table. He also had some knowledge of Li Ming's reputation and knew that he was a top-notch master in the world. If Li Ming was interested, the Zhang family would be in jeopardy just by a word. Moreover, if they could have such a big backer, perhaps the family's problems could be solved!
Zhang Qingshu's eyes lit up when he thought of this, but he still spoke unconfidently.

"But I have mediocre talent. How can I possibly catch the eye of Master Li?"

Li Ming said with a smile: "Your aptitude is not bad. It can even be said that it is better than many people. Moreover, the defects you were born with have now forged good conditions. You can be said to have a first-class foundation."

Zhang Qingshu was overjoyed and said quickly: "If Senior Li doesn't give up..."

"Slow down," Li Ming suddenly stopped him.

Zhang Qingshu's heart tightened again, and his eyes became more gloomy.

"Don't panic. We've already agreed. It's not that I don't have disciples. You have two senior brothers above you now, but they're not with me right now. I sent them elsewhere for training. Although my knowledge isn't vast, not just anyone can master it all. If you become my disciple and inherit just one of my unique skills, you could spend your entire life studying it. Let alone you, even your senior brother only learned one of my skills. It's not that I'm stingy, but everyone knows that biting off more than you can chew is a common knowledge. Don't blame me in the future."

At this time, Zhang Qingshu knew what Li Ming was thinking. He quickly stood up and knelt, then bowed again.

"Disciple understands, disciple understands!" Li Mingze nodded and said, "The conditions here are simple, and we are people of the martial arts world who are not bound by conventional etiquette. It's harmless. Now you are my third disciple. Mr. Xie will be your witness, and heaven and earth will be your witness."

Then Li Ming said with a serious expression.

"I have a casual personality, and the sect's rules are similarly loose. But you must remember that good and evil are in opposition, and the struggle is lifelong. As long as you live your life with a clear conscience, that's all that's needed!"

Zhang Qingshu looked up at Li Ming's eyes that were as bright as stars, and felt as if he was seen through by him. He felt that this new master was like a god and was inviolable. He immediately felt respect in his heart and did not dare to be negligent in the slightest. He just bowed again.

"Disciple, please obey the instructions!"

After saying that, he took the teacup handed to him by Hu Chongling and brought it to Li Ming.

Li Ming nodded and drank it all in one gulp, which was considered as a complete courtesy, and he accepted him as his disciple.

Li Xian looked at Zhang Qingshu, and there was an indescribable envy in his eyes. This is the innate grandmaster!
There are probably less than a hundred well-known innate grand masters in the world, but Li Ming is standing here alive. Li Xian is so old, but he has probably only seen such a person once during the martial arts competition by the old Taoist Feiyun.

The immense power displayed by the Xiantian Grandmaster when he took action has left an indelible mark in his mind to this day. It was just a single move, but it destroyed most of the Yunzhou warships and even the river was almost diverted. In a sense, it was considered to have changed the terrain. In today's world, this is the most top-notch combat power without supernatural powers.

Having such a person as a master, I wonder how much convenience it will bring in the future.

How many people can fight against the innate grandmaster?
Thinking of this, Li Xian's face darkened slightly, and the free and easy figure in the moon-white monk's robe seemed to pass by him.

"Mingxin, are you still alive?"

Although the scene of that day was still vivid in his mind, Li Xian still didn't want to believe that the young man with rosy lips and white teeth who always loved to smile and showed his white teeth, and who was a monk but had a lively personality, had died just like that. Because of a trumped-up charge, he was suppressed by the power of Xuantian Dao Sect. No one in the whole Yunzhou dared to cry out that it was injustice. The first place in the martial arts competition, which should have been a big hit, seemed to have become a secret that no one mentioned.

But he was a grandmaster. If a grandmaster attacked him with all his strength, even if he was a genius and unparalleled in the world, he was less than twenty years old after all, and was just at the innate level. How could he survive?
His reason told him this more than once, but he still kept a glimmer of hope deep in his heart. After all, the body had not been found, and it was more likely that the body was destroyed by the claw of Taoist Feiyun. However, Li Xian was still willing to believe that Mingxin was still alive somewhere in some corner.

Seeing that Li Xian was a little distracted, Hu Chongling smiled and said, "Brother Li, what's wrong with you? Are you envious of Brother Zhang? You and Master Li are actually from the same family. Why don't you ask Master Li to accept you as his disciple as well?"

Li Xian quickly shook his head and said, "I'm afraid I don't have that blessing. I was just thinking of an old friend."

The voice was a little low, and Li Ming, who was listening to his words, had a bright look in his eyes, which reflected Li Xian's somewhat forced smile.
