Chapter 599: Recruiting a Disciple
Going down the mountain was faster than going up. Not long after, Gu Fei and Palace Master Yan walked to the streets of the small town.
When pedestrians saw Palace Master Yan, they all stood aside and saluted respectfully.
Gu Fei looked at them curiously. These people were no different from those outside in terms of skin color, appearance, and dress.
Palace Master Yan led Gu Fei along a straight road. Gu Fei estimated that this road was one of the eight main roads in the small town.
The end of this road should be the circular square seen before.
Sure enough, not far away, I saw the square.
In the center of the square is a huge circular palace.
The outer wall is made of white marble and a kind of black stone. The two colors are spliced together, giving people a strong visual impact.
At this moment, a platform has been set up outside the palace. The square below the platform is full of people, men, women, young and old.
These people saluted while making way for a passage.
As they walked along, countless eyes fell on Gu Fei's face.
Accompanied by various discussions.
"Is this the disciple that the palace master wants to accept?"
"Why is she a woman?"
"What's wrong with a woman? Don't you look down on women?"
"She is so beautiful!"
"So beautiful, she is the most beautiful woman I have ever seen."
"To be accepted as a disciple by the palace master, her martial arts must be very high."
······
Various voices buzzed in my ears.
Gu Fei walked forward without looking around, and soon walked to the bottom of the stage.
There were eight people standing in front, six men and two women.
Palace Master Yan pointed at them, "Xiao Fei, come and meet the eight elders."
Gu Fei bowed one by one.
The eight elders looked at Gu Fei, some exploring, some puzzled, some envious, all kinds of meanings.
After greeting, Palace Master Yan took Gu Fei to the stage.
A chair was placed in the middle of the stage.
Palace Master Yan lifted his robe and sat down, and the people below the stage suddenly fell silent.
Palace Master Yan waved his hand, "I, Yan Hong, have practiced martial arts for fifty years. I have not only carried forward the martial arts of my ancestors, but also created several martial arts of my own."
"It's a pity that no one has been qualified enough for me in these years."
"Now I am fortunate to have met a rare talent. Today, in front of everyone, I will accept her as my apprentice."
Gu Fei walked over, knelt down, and kowtowed three times respectfully to Palace Master Yan.
An elder next to him handed over a cup of tea. Gu Fei raised it above his head and said loudly, "Master, please have some tea."
Palace Master Yan took the tea and drank a sip, then nodded, "Today, I accept Gu Fei as my apprentice. In the future, I will pass on all I have learned in my life to Gu Fei."
Gu Fei looked up and said, "Gu Fei is loved by the Palace Master and accepted as his apprentice. From now on, I will serve my master like a father and live up to my master's expectations, study hard, and practice diligently."
Palace Master Yan stretched out his hand, and the follower behind him handed over a sword.
He stared at Gu Fei and said, "This sword is the one I used when I was young. It's called Qiu Shui."
"Now I give it to you, I hope you cherish it."
Gu Fei took it with both hands, "Thank you, Master."
Palace Master Yan nodded, "Get up."
Gu Fei stood up, and everyone in the audience said in unison, "Congratulations to the Palace Master for accepting a good disciple!"
Palace Master Yan waved his hand and took Gu Fei down from the stage, excited, "Come on, Master will take you to see the Taiji Palace."
Gu Fei lagged behind Palace Master Yan half a step, and the two entered the Taiji Palace.
The eight elders did not follow in, and the seventh elder hesitated, "The Palace Master accepted a little girl as his disciple. Don't you want this girl to be the Palace Master in the future?"
