Misty Rain of the Old Times

Chapter 266 Let’s wait and see

"Miss, please stay. Please don't be rude to your senior in front of him." Qin Feihong, who was less seriously injured, stepped forward to stop Zhao Qingluan.

Zhao Qingluan came running over excitedly with an excited look on his face and called out "Master" as soon as he opened his mouth. No one knew whose disciple he was. How could he be so reckless? If he offended the master and got blamed by him, who would be able to bear the consequences?
Qin Feihong's words were quite polite. After all, it seemed that Zhao Qingluan was a disciple of a certain innate master present, so she had to give him some face. Moreover, when she stopped Zhao Qingluan, she shook her head slightly and winked at him, which was considered as her care for the younger generation.

She didn't associate Zhao Qingluan with Chen Xuan's apprentice, as the two of them didn't seem to be familiar with each other at first glance.

Liang Ren, who was following Zhao Qingluan in a hurry, was terrified. This guy was fighting for the Zhao family's commission and had not given up the idea of ​​persuading Zhao Qingluan to go back. He followed her wherever she went. Now he almost knelt down and begged this lady to stop making trouble, but he had no right to speak.

Zhao Qingluan, who was stopped, did not dare to act rashly. He saluted with his spear in hand and said, "Junior Zhao Qingluan is honored to meet Miss Qin."

Well, although this young man is a little bit erratic, he is still polite and well-mannered. However, he still needs to work on his temper.

Qin Feihong was thinking this when Zhao Qingluan's eyes passed by her eagerly, looking towards Chen Xuan and saying pitifully, "Master, Master, do you still remember me? It's me, Zhao Qingluan. We met last time. We meet again. Will you accept me as your disciple?"

Everyone: "..."

It seems that this little girl is begging the senior to be her master, and I thought she was someone's apprentice.

Qin Feihong's expression suddenly became lighter, and she secretly paid attention to Chen Xuan's reaction. If he showed displeasure, she would drive him away. After all, he was a righteous person and would not do such a thing as killing people after being offended by a stranger.

Chen Xuan turned around and looked at Zhao Qingluan, shook his head and said, "I'm sorry, I don't think I've seen this girl before. You and I are not related, so please don't say anything nonsense to avoid misunderstandings."

His tone was calm, without any displeasure, he was just stating a fact, giving everyone the impression that he, as a senior, had a good temper.

He spoke, and those who had witnessed how he killed Liu Zhenwei in an instant had no right to interrupt. Even if they wanted to be active, they had to look at Chen Xuan's face before they dared to.

Zhao Qingluan suddenly became anxious, almost dancing with joy, saying: "Master, have you forgotten? We met more than half a year ago. On that night when the fog covered the mountain, you came on the moon and saved us. You killed the black-robed man in a few moves, and you even used my gun. I remember you, I can't be wrong. Although I didn't see you then, and your voice has changed, I won't admit my mistake in the tone of your words and the way you do things. Just give me a chance and let me become your disciple. I will definitely be filial to you."

Liang Ren was so frightened that she almost cried. Auntie, please say less. No one knows you. Besides, there are so many innate masters around me. I am under so much pressure. How come you are even more naughty than I was in my dreams?

Chen Xuan exclaimed in his heart, how the hell can you recognize this?
Oh my god, I was so careless. I thought that no one would recognize me if I just changed my voice and used a pseudonym. After all, I was not deliberately disguising myself as someone else. So I did not restrain my words and actions, and they were actually linked to by the impressed Zhao Qingluan. This is a reminder for me to be more careful in the future.

Also, about that night when the fog was covering the mountain, it was a good thing that you, a grown-up girl, spoke quickly and told me everything that happened that night in one breath, otherwise people would have thought that I had an affair with you and abandoned you.

Gently waving his hand to stop her from chattering, Chen Xuan continued to shake his head and said, "I'm sorry, I don't know the girl, I've never seen her, and I've never been to Wuzhao Mountain, so you must have recognized the wrong person."

"How is it possible, I..."

Before she could continue, Qin Feihong said in a slightly cold tone, "Miss, the senior has already said he doesn't know you anymore. Are you asking for trouble by continuing to pester me?"

After all, as a woman, Qin Feihong said this for Zhao Qingluan's own good. Regardless of whether they had really met or not, the senior had said so much, and it would be foolish not to understand.

Liang Ren said cautiously: "Miss Zhao, Uncle Zhao, let's go."

Zhao Qingluan opened his mouth, lowered his head and turned around dejectedly and said: "Hmm"

She also understood at this time that no matter whether this person was the senior she saw that night, he had no intention of paying any attention to him at all. Although she was a little rash, she was not stupid. She recognized the reality and stopped entangled with him.

Chen Xuan didn't care, it was just a chance encounter. He looked at everyone and bowed slightly, saying, "Everyone, everything is done. I will take my leave first."

Now that everything is done, of course everyone goes back home to their own mothers, but why stay to look at the sand?

He actually took the initiative to bow and say goodbye, which made the group of innate masters flattered. They thought that the senior was really free and easy and not fussy about trivial matters, so they responded with great bows and said goodbye.

As Chen Xuan was about to leave, Taoist Xuanqing couldn't help but say, "I'm honored to meet you, Senior. May I ask where you're going next? If it's not a big deal, may I invite you to visit our Taixuan Sect? We'll be happy to welcome you."

Damn, why the hell didn't I think of that? Xuan Qing got there first. The last one was Guo Sihai. Everyone looked at Chen Xuan eagerly. If he agreed, they would shamelessly invite him back as their guest.

Taixuan Sect was the leading Taoist sect in the Jingguo martial arts world. Xuanqing had his own considerations when inviting Chen Xuan, besides out of respect. He would be unable to sleep or eat if he didn't find out the truth about such an unfamiliar master, especially one who was suspected to be a grand master. He was certainly not qualified to ask, so he could only ask him to go back and let the master of Taixuan Sect receive him and give him some indirect advice.

Chen Xuan turned around and smiled, "Thank you for your kindness. I won't bother you anymore. There are so many beautiful things in this world, such as fine wine and delicious food, beautiful women and beautiful scenery. Let me take a walk and have a look. Goodbye."

With that, Chen Xuan walked away amidst everyone's disappointed gazes. His steps were not fast, but leisurely, leaving no footprints on the sand. It had come to this point, so there was no need to keep a low profile, but he was not in a hurry to leave either.

Well, it sounds so cool, but I still have to go back to work and study. The books have everything, so it’s not really cheating them.

Looking at Chen Xuan's back, a hint of envy flashed in everyone's eyes. This senior was so free and easy, unlike themselves, who seemed to have a good status and position, but were actually burdened by mundane affairs.

As he walked away, Ling Yun, who was lying injured on the ground, withdrew his gaze and looked at Zhao Qingluan, who was leaving dejectedly in the other direction. He said weakly, "Miss, please stay. Zhao Qingluan, right? I see that you have good talent. I also practice spearmanship. I wonder if my skills will impress you."

"Ah? Senior called me?" Zhao Qingluan turned around and pointed at his nose in confusion.

Chen Xuan left. Although he hadn't gone far, everyone relaxed. Qin Feihong laughed and said, "Miss Zhao, don't you see that Master Ling wants to take you in as his disciple? If you don't accept him as your disciple, it's a rare opportunity. Do you really expect him to beg you?"

"Really?" Zhao Qingluan widened her eyes excitedly, hardly able to believe it. Is this the light at the end of the tunnel?
The seriously injured Ling Yun nodded weakly and said, "Yes, are you willing?"

"Master, please accept my disciple's greetings." Zhao Qingluan immediately knelt down and slid over excitedly, thinking to himself that I, Zhao Qingluan, am not bad. The previous innate master looked down on me, and now there is another innate master who uses guns and accepts me as his disciple. I don't have to switch to other methods, and can continue to improve my gun skills.

With her vision, she naturally couldn't see through Chen Xuan's depth, but she guessed it right by accident.

Ling Yun smiled and said, "I will accept your worship. From now on, you will be my disciple. I am not in good health now. I will orally teach you some martial arts skills. After you have recovered for a while, I will go back and teach you what I have learned."

"Disciple, I will listen to Master," Zhao Qingluan said with a smile, and then quickly got into the role. She looked at Ling Yun and asked with concern: "Master, how is your injury? Is there anything I can help with?"

Gently shaking his head, Ling Yun said: "No need, my injuries are self-controlled, from now on you just need to follow my lead and learn from me."

"Yeah," Zhao Qingluan nodded obediently.

"Congratulations to Master Ling for finding a good disciple. I see your disciple has good talent, and there will be someone to carry on the legacy."

"Please let me know on the day of your apprenticeship so that we can go and ask for a drink."

Everyone offered their blessings and good words, and Ling Yun happily responded.

He accepted Zhao Qingluan as his disciple out of his heart, not because he wanted to take the opportunity to get involved with Yang Guo, who was suspected to be a grandmaster.

It must be said that Zhao Qingluan's qualifications are quite good, and he is also good at using guns, which will save a lot of basic troubles and he can directly teach his unique skills.

Furthermore, after experiencing this period, Ling Yun also realized a truth: when traveling in the martial arts world, one might die at any time, so it is better to pass on what he has learned as soon as possible to avoid regrets in the grave in the future.

Liang Ren was dumbfounded. Zhao Qingluan actually became a disciple of a congenital master from another country. What kind of luck was this? Could this be the so-called opportunity that one has to fight for?
If she hadn't made such a fuss before, there would have been no such opportunity.

But the problem is what to do. It is obvious that I cannot persuade him to go back. The Zhao family has offered a high price of two hundred taels. Wouldn’t it be a waste of all my efforts?
Zhao Qingluan also thought of this at this moment, and took the initiative to say to Liang Ren: "Brother Liang, thank you for taking care of me during this period. I will follow my master to learn martial arts next. Please help me take a message home. I am fine, and ask my parents not to worry. I will fulfill my filial piety to them after I return. Just tell them the truth. I think my father will not give you less money as promised, and he will give you more."

His eyes lit up, and Liang Ren thought to himself that it was true. The Zhao family had climbed up the social ladder, so why would they be stingy with the small gifts? So he immediately patted his chest and promised, "Don't worry, Miss Zhao, I will definitely pass on the message."

"Thank you," Zhao Qingluan clasped her fists and bowed, thinking that when she had learned enough and mastered all the skills of her master, she would make Yang Guo regret not accepting her as his disciple after he ignored her today...
