Chapter 162: Registered Disciple Wang Ping'an
Chapter 162: Registered Disciple Wang Ping'an
However, before Xiaolongnu could continue speaking, Wang Ping'an took the lead and knelt down on one knee in front of Xiaolongnu.
"Master, I've suffered so much. I've traveled for so long and endured so much, all just to see the Ancient Tomb Sect and witness its greatness. I know you're in a difficult position. Since the Ancient Tomb Sect passes on its teachings to females but not males, why don't you accept me as a nominal disciple? Master, I've sold all my property to become your disciple, and I've prepared a generous gift!"
As Wang Ping'an spoke, he pretended to take out the necklace he was going to give to Aning and Lu Su from his pocket.
Wang Ping'an believed that as long as a woman was a woman, especially a woman who had never seen the world in ancient times, this necklace that flashed with colorful light in the morning light would definitely impress her.
"Master, this is my apprenticeship gift. Please accept it. I don't ask you to teach me anything, I just hope you can take the time to guide me. That would be the fulfillment of my wish!"
Xiao Longnu was a little confused by Wang Ping'an's series of words. Before she could refuse, she was dazzled by the light from Wang Ping'an's open jewelry box.
The necklace in Wang Ping'an's hand is made up of tiny diamonds carved on a gold necklace, and the pendant is a crystal in the shape of a five-pointed star with a slightly larger diamond heart in the middle. The overall feeling it gives is sparkling.
Wang Ping'an didn't know much about necklaces and just thought that more expensive ones were better. So, he secretly bought two necklaces and planned to give them to Lu Su and Aning before leaving. Unfortunately, he left too suddenly. Now, the necklaces come in handy.
'Sure enough, even Xiaolongnu was slightly stunned at this moment.
'What a nice view!'
This was the only thought in the minds of Xiaolongnu and Yang Guo beside her.
Xiaolongnu really wanted to refuse Wang Ping'an directly, but when she looked at the necklace in Wang Ping'an's hand, she felt reluctant to let it go. Although she didn't care about or even understand money, she was born with a love for beautiful things.
"Although Master said that men are no good, that only applies to outsiders. If you accept him into the sect, he will be one of our own. How can we be bad people? Besides, he is not a formal disciple, just a nominal disciple. It's nothing!"
The more she thought about it, the more excuses she had. Finally, after a full minute of silence, Xiaolongnu finally let out a sigh and said.
"In that case, I will accept you as a registered disciple of the Ancient Tomb Sect. However, the Ancient Tomb Sect does not have any martial arts techniques suitable for you, so I can only teach you some basic martial arts. Is this acceptable to you?"
Hearing this, Wang Pingan was also delighted and spoke hurriedly.
"Yes, Master, please accept my disciple's greetings!"
Having said that, Wang Ping'an bowed respectfully!
Yang Guo, who was standing by, saw Wang Ping'an's unruly kowtow and reminded him.
"Brother, to become your disciple, you must bow three times and kowtow nine times. Also, you cannot kneel on one knee."
"It's okay. Since you're a registered disciple, you don't have to follow those secular rules!"
Xiaolongnu interrupted, but her eyes remained on the necklace in Wang Ping'an's hand.
Wang Ping'an was not used to kneeling in front of others, so he quickly stood up and came to Xiaolongnu with the necklace box in his hand.
"Master, how about this necklace, I'll put it on you. It has a lock at the back, so it's a bit complicated to operate!"
Xiaolongnu was frightened by Wang Ping'an's action and instinctively stepped back, but when she saw Wang Ping'an's sincere gaze and the necklace in Wang Ping'an's hand, she stopped unconsciously.
"Master, what's wrong with you?"
'Men and women should not touch each other, Your Majesty.
"Wang Ping'an, Master, I am your disciple. I am only giving you a necklace to wear. However, Master, if you mind, you can wear it yourself!"
Wang Ping'an said this, and with a little disappointment, he put the necklace back into the box and handed it to Xiaolongnu.
Xiaolongnu took the necklace, looked at it carefully, and liked it very much. Although she wanted to put it on immediately, she finally held back.
"Let's go, let's go back first!"
After Xiaolongnu finished speaking, she turned and left.
Seeing this, Wang Pingan hurriedly pulled Yang Guo to follow.
Although Xiaolongnu saw Wang Ping'an and Yang Guo, she did not say anything. Instead, she explained as they walked.
"Since you have already joined the Ancient Tomb Sect, there are some things you need to know. Our Ancient Tomb Sect is dwindling in number. The first generation founder was Lin Chaoying. She is my master, and also your grandmaster!"
"Yes, I understand, Master. I've heard all this before!"
Wang Ping'an was naturally very familiar with the Tomb Clan. He even felt that he was more familiar with it than Xiaolongnu!
'You know, how could you possibly know that?'
Wang Pingan said indifferently.
"Of course I know. Grandmaster Lin Chaoying, who founded the Ancient Tomb Sect, accepted two disciples. One is you, Master, and the other should be my uncle, Li Mochou. Of course, if you include Granny Sun, there are four people in our Ancient Tomb Sect. But now with me and Yang Guo, that's six people!"
Hearing this, Xiaolongnu suddenly stopped and looked at Wang Ping'an in surprise.
Wang Ping'an felt a little scared when Xiaolongnu looked at him, so he explained.
"Master, what's wrong with you?"
"You know my senior sister, right?"
Wang Ping'an understood after a little thought. The Tomb Sect had never been in contact with the outside world, so it was difficult for him to explain what he knew.
"Hmm, Uncle Li Mochou? I heard about him on the way here. I came here for the Ancient Tomb Sect, so when I heard about him, I naturally learned more about him. These things are easy to find out!"
Upon hearing this, Xiaolongnu looked at Wang Ping'an seriously, but in the end she continued to walk forward without any doubt.
"Since you already know everything, I won't tell you anymore. Let me tell you, our Tomb Sect only passes down the lineage to females, not males. So, after you become Master, you won't have to live in the tomb like me. Why not take your friends and build a house outside the tomb?"
"Okay, wait a minute, Master, what did you say?"
Wang Ping'an had already planned to agree, but after realizing what was going on, he couldn't help but ask in surprise.
At this time, the three of them had already walked to a cave. Xiaolongnu looked back at Yang Guo and then explained.
"You are a registered disciple of the Ancient Tomb Sect, not a formal disciple. He is not even a disciple, so he can only stay outside. You and I will go in and pay homage to the ancestor, and then you can come out!"
"Why, Master? A nominal disciple is still a disciple. Besides, this place is so desolate, how can I survive out here?"
Xiaolongnu frowned and went into the cave on her own.
"He's waiting outside. Come with me in and pay your respects to Master!"
Watching Xiaolongnu disappear at the entrance of the cave, Wang Pingan was helpless for a moment. He didn't know what Xiaolongnu was thinking. He remembered that there was an ice bed under the tomb. Practicing on it would double the speed. Yang Guo also went in in the original novel, but he didn't expect that now he could not practice in it except to pay homage to Lin Chaoying.
