Chapter 18: Apprenticeship at Jade Emperor Pavilion
Not to mention that Su Yu flew back to Taihu Lake first, Qiao Feng and others also headed for Suhang after descending from Shaoshi Mountain.
"Brother Lu, what are your plans next?" Qiao Feng asked Lu Xiaofeng on the way.
"Uh...Brother Qiao, I have a gracious invitation. I also want to go to Taihu Lake with you." Lu Xiaofeng said in a low voice.
Qiao Feng was stunned when he heard this, and then looked at Lu Xiaofeng in confusion.
"Hey, do you want to join our Jade Emperor Pavilion?" Jiang Yuyan said.
Only then did Qiao Feng react, and his face suddenly showed joy. He was about to agree, but he looked at Jiang Yuyan aside as if he remembered something.
"Oh, I asked you why you followed us all the way from Shaoshi Mountain." Ah Qing also said.
"Hey, actually, a few of us like him have admired the Emperor since we last saw him, so we discussed it before going down the mountain," Lu Xiaofeng said.
"Ximen is willing to enter the Jade Emperor Pavilion." Ximen Chuixue suddenly had a new goal after seeing Su Yu's extraordinary swordsmanship.
"They both have joined, so naturally I can't fall behind. From now on, I will cover all the expenses of Yuhuang Pavilion." Hua Manlou also said with great wealth.
"Humph, Lu Xiaofeng, you have a good idea. There are conditions for entering the Jade Emperor Pavilion." Jiang Yuyan said and continued to walk forward.
Lu Xiaofeng suddenly became anxious and hurriedly chased after him and asked.
"Auntie, please tell me what the conditions are. No matter what the conditions are, we will definitely meet them." Lu Xiaofeng said as he ran.
Qiao Feng and others quickly followed.
After everyone walked for dozens of miles, Jiang Yuyan got impatient after being teased and teased by Lu Xiaofeng for a long time, so she stopped and said.
"Grandmaster, the rule set by the Emperor on the day he founded the Jade Emperor Pavilion is that the minimum requirement for joining the Jade Emperor Pavilion is to be a master. I'm afraid you don't even have late-stage Xiantian, right?" Jiang Yuyan said disdainfully.
"Ah? Grandmaster." Lu Xiaofeng was stunned.
"What?" Qiao Feng was also startled. This was the first time he knew about this request, but when he thought of Su Yu's strength and the strength of himself and the two women, he understood it instantly.
"Grandmaster, tsk tsk, Lu Xiaoji and I are only in the middle stage of Xiantian, and Ximen is in the late stage. It will probably take several years to become a grandmaster," Hua Manlou said.
"Oh, what should I do? The following people really admire the emperor and the Jade Emperor Pavilion." Lu Xiaofeng said with a wry smile. If they had other requests, they might have a way, but this grandmaster doesn't just come when he says it.
Qiao Feng looked at the three people who were depressed and couldn't bear it. He also admired Lu Xiaofeng and the three of them very much. They were extremely rare heroes. If he could join the Jade Emperor Pavilion, he would have a few more male companions. Otherwise, he would always have more male companions. He was not used to being with two little girls.
"Brother Lu, don't worry. Why don't you come back to Taihu with us first? Then the three of us will plead for you in front of the Jade Emperor. How about this?" Qiao Feng thought for a while and said.
"Okay, great, Brother Qiao, I can't thank you enough. I'll trouble you guys." Lu Xiaofeng suddenly beamed and said excitedly.
"Hey, Ah Qing and I don't agree." Jiang Yuyan said immediately when she saw Lu Xiaofeng's smile.
"Uh..." Qiao Feng smiled bitterly after hearing this, and then kept winking at Lu Xiaofeng.
Lu Xiaofeng naturally understood what Qiao Feng meant.
"Hey, Miss Yuyan, ah Miss Qing, don't mention this for now. Let's take a walk. There is a town ahead. I heard that there is a small shop there with delicious food." Lu Xiaofeng said quickly.
Jiang Yuyan's mouth showed a trace of success that was not easy to detect.
Five days later, at Taihu Pier, Qiao Feng and his party finally returned. I saw Lu Xiaofeng and three people, carrying a lot of big and small bags, all of which were bought by Ah Qing and Jiang Yuyan along the way. As for the money, they naturally spent all the money to pay for it.
"Oh, we're finally here." Lu Xiaofeng put the things on the ground and rubbed her shoulders.
"How do we get to the island?" Huamanlou asked at this time.
Then everyone began to look for boats everywhere, and soon they saw a boat pulling out of the lake, heading towards these people.
"Dad? Why is it you?"
After the boat approached, Qiao Feng immediately shouted.
"Uncle Joe."
"Uncle Qiao." Jiang Yuyan and A Qing also shouted quickly.
"Hahaha, early this morning, the emperor asked me to come out to pick you up, saying that you had arrived." Qiao Sanhuai said with a smile.
After the boat stopped, everyone quickly put their things on the boat.
"Brother Lu, this is my father." Qiao Feng introduced.
"Lu Xiaofeng pays homage to uncle." Lu Xiaofeng and the others immediately saluted Qiao Sanhuai with great respect.
"Okay, good kids, you are all Feng'er's friends, right?" Qiao Sanhuai said with a smile.
"Hurry up and get on the boat. Early this morning, the Emperor said that six people are going back to the island today. He asked Feng'er's mother and I to kill a sheep. We are waiting for you to go back." Qiao Sanhuai said with a smile.
"What? The emperor knows we are coming?" Lu Xiaofeng asked in surprise.
"Humph, what's so strange? Brother Dijun knows everything." Ah Qing said.
"Yes, yes." Lu Xiaofeng said quickly.
The boat was rowing on the lake, with blue waves rippling all around. Qiao Feng looked at the people around him who were laughing and joking, and he felt very good. Now that his great revenge was avenged, his wish was fulfilled, and the next step was to repay Su Yu seriously. of kindness.
"Aren't we here yet? Why haven't we seen any of the islands? Qing, didn't you say we'll be here in an hour at most?" Suddenly Lu Xiaofeng asked.
"Hey, country bumpkin, open your eyes wide and watch." Jiang Yuyan replied for Ah Qing.
The boat continued rowing for a few hundred meters, and suddenly the scenery in the empty place in front changed. It rippled like a stone thrown into the water, and then the outline of a small island gradually appeared. Lu Xiaofeng opened his mouth and looked at it. When he returned, When I came to my senses, I found that the ship had docked.
"Is this...is this an immortal magic?" Lu Xiaofeng said.
"What happened?" Hua Manlou asked quickly.
Knowing that Ximen Chuixue had described the scene that had just happened to him, Huamanlou was also shocked.
"This is a formation. People outside can't see the island and can't come in. Only our boats can enter. When others come here, they will just miss the island and sail to other places." Jiang Yuyan said.
"Haha, I was just as shocked as you when I saw it for the first time. Let's go." Qiao Feng said, then picked up the things on the boat and got off the boat.
Lu Xiaofeng and others quickly followed.
"Brother Lu, that's the Jade Emperor Pavilion." Qiao Feng said, pointing to the towering nine-story Jade Emperor Pavilion tower on Xiaodao Mountain.
"Hiss, it's so majestic and exquisite. I didn't expect there to be such a building." Lu Xiaofeng praised.
When several people followed Qiao Feng and his son to the courtyard of His Excellency the Jade Emperor, they saw Su Yu sitting in front of a stone table, with six times of tea already placed on the table.
"Emperor."
"Brother Dijun."
"Meet the Emperor."
Everyone saluted and shouted.
Su Yu said with a smile.
"It's been a hard journey, come and have some tea." After saying that, several cups of tea rose into the air and slowly flew towards the few people.
This fairy-like technique naturally opened their eyes to several people, and they quickly caught it.
"Thank you, Emperor."
After saying that, several people drank it in one gulp. The temperature was just right, as if they had calculated the time correctly, and several people arrived at this time. Su Yu's status in the hearts of Lu Xiaofeng and the others suddenly became higher.
Just after several people finished drinking tea, Lu Xiaofeng pulled Hua Manlou aside and glanced at Ximen Chuixue, and the three of them knelt down at the same time in tacit understanding.
"Emperor, the three of us want to join the Jade Emperor Pavilion, and I would like to ask the emperor to agree." After saying this, he kowtowed.
Seeing this, Su Yu seemed to have expected this scene. She looked at Jiang Yuyan with a smile and said.
"Presumably Yuyan has already told me the conditions for entering my Jade Emperor Pavilion, right?"
"This, this, I said it, Miss Yuyan said that she must reach the master level." Lu Xiaofeng said with some lack of confidence.
Su Yu nodded and said.
"Actually, what Yuyan said was just one of them."
"Ah? One of them." Lu Xiaofeng and the others suddenly felt a chill in their hearts. Grandmaster strength was only one of them. What about the other requirements? They didn't even reach the first point.
Seeing this, Qiao Feng quickly stepped forward and wanted to plead for the three of them, but Su Yu raised her hand to stop them.
"Grandmaster is just one part of it, and the other part is talent. Anyone who joins our Jade Emperor Pavilion must be a proud man of heaven, and his martial arts qualifications and understanding must be far beyond ordinary people."
"You all know how strong Qiao Feng is. He can win in one battle against five grandmasters and face the grand master without hesitation. This is what a genius he is. Therefore, he is expected to become a grand master."
"Yu Yan, you are eighteen years old this year and you are already a Grandmaster. You know what this means even if I don't tell you."
Finally, Su Yu pointed at Qingdao.
"Ah Qing is not yet sixteen years old this year, but her swordsmanship has reached the perfection level, and her cultivation has reached the peak of a grandmaster. I predict that she can become a grandmaster at any time. A sixteen-year-old grandmaster, have you ever heard of it in the past? Pass."
"hiss……"
Lu Xiaofeng and the others suddenly took a breath of cold air. They had become very familiar with everyone after getting along with each other for a few days, but the three of them never regarded the two as masters, only as naughty little sisters.
"Sixteen years old, great master, master of swordsmanship." Ximen Chuixue muttered incredulously.
"How? Do you want to join?" Su Yu asked.
"Emperor, we still want to join. Although we are not as good as Brother Qiao, Xiaofeng will never disgrace the Jade Emperor Pavilion." Lu Xiaofeng said solemnly. If it was only because he admired Qiao Feng and then admired Su Yu that he had the idea to join the Jade Emperor Pavilion, now he sincerely wants to join this organization.
"Yes, Emperor, you told me that only by being extremely passionate can one be as strong as the sword, so joining the Jade Emperor Pavilion is the first step for me to reach the pinnacle of swordsmanship. I hope that the emperor will fulfill my wish." After Ximen Chuixue finished speaking, he added the sword again. He kowtowed his head.
"Me too." Hua Manlou said quickly.
"Very good, I see your sincerity, I can agree to you joining the Jade Emperor Pavilion." Su Yu said.
The three people kneeling on the ground and Qiao Feng suddenly smiled. After getting along with each other these days, Ah Qing and Jiang Yuyan have already agreed with Lu Xiaofeng and the others, so they are naturally happy for them.
"but…"
The smiles that everyone had just shown suddenly disappeared again.
"You can only be regarded as trainees at Yuhuang Pavilion now, and you cannot fully enjoy the same treatment as Qiao Feng and others. Strictly speaking, your current status is the lowest. Yes, you are still under Qiao Feng's parents. When will you reach the master level? You can be considered an official member of the Jade Emperor Pavilion. Of course, if you can get my approval, you can do it in advance," Su Yu said.
"Apprenticeship? What is an apprenticeship?" Lu Xiaofeng was stunned.
"Don't worry about the apprenticeship for now, why don't you thank the emperor quickly." Qiao Feng said anxiously from the side.
"Oh oh oh, thank you Emperor." The three of them thanked them quickly.
