Chapter 7, Decision
Su Lanyue initially intended to dissuade her, but upon reflection, it seemed that this was the first time Shi Lan had expressed her own thoughts. If she were to refuse directly, it would come across as excessively unkind.
Dear Brother Shi
The Sacred Martial Immortal Sect opens its mountain gate once every ten years to recruit disciples, and only accepts individuals under the age of twenty-five
Moreover, this is the first time since Shi Lan became aware of the world that he has developed an interest in martial arts
"Master, I am merely an orphan. You bestowed upon me the surname Shi and provided me with a place to reside, showing me kindness akin to a second birth. Logically, I should not go against your wishes, but regarding this matter, I find it difficult to comply." Shi Feng said with a resolute expression.
To know, there are not just billions of people in this realm who meet the age criteria
Respectfully presented by my foolish younger brother, Changfeng
This time, the task was completed well. Shi Tianlu closed the box, turned to look at the young man, and said gently.
Looking at this severed head, Shi Tianlu's expression showed no signs of change; everything was within his expectations
Stay away from him in the future! Do you understand?" Shi Yiming warned Shi Qinghu.
Shi Qinghu was momentarily taken aback, recalling the various rumors about Shi Lan circulating outside. He couldn't help but shiver and quickly nodded his head
Shilan was naturally unaware of the various thoughts in Sulanyue's mind; she was fully focused on carefully listening to Sulanyue's teachings
As soon as Shi Lan entered the room, she saw Su Lanyue sitting at the table, with two cups of steaming green tea placed on the table.
I originally intended to visit in person, but recently, due to the sudden turmoil in Jiuxiao City, I have been entangled in various matters and am unable to travel. I regret that I cannot personally bring my daughter to your door and hope for your understanding.
After a while, Su Lanyue stopped speaking and pushed the brocade box towards Shi Lan.
Having said that, Shi Tianlu looked at the rising sunlight and meaningfully remarked: "Shi Feng, this Tenglong City is too small for you..."
Shi Lan clearly understands the principle that a towering building rises from the ground up. This foundational knowledge is extremely important, and she sensed the expectations in Su Lan Yue's eager gaze.
I am unwilling to leave the Stone Mansion
Shilan sat down, without beating around the bush, and said directly: "Mother, I want to practice martial arts"
The eldest son
Sulanyue walked to the table and sat down, pressing the brocade box under her hand
At the desk, Shi Tianlu stood in front, not far to the side, a young man in his early twenties knelt on one knee, his expression respectful
... ...
The young lady Yueqing has reached the age of eighteen and will, accompanied by her elders from home, visit the esteemed residence this month to discuss matters of marriage
The man has a refined appearance, looking harmless and unthreatening
Shi Lan stood up, looking somewhat expectantly at the brocade box in Su Lan Yue's hands
"Master, please think twice; such a precious opportunity should rightfully be given to the second or third young master." In the face of such an enticing opportunity, Shi Feng did not accept it with wild joy, but instead began to decline.
In six months, it will be the day when the Sacred Martial Immortal Sect opens its doors to recruit disciples. I can help you secure a candidacy for an outer disciple of the Sacred Martial Immortal Sect. With your talent, it should not be difficult for you to stand out.
Watching Shi Feng's departing figure, Shi Tianlu slightly shook his head. It was not just the Shi residence that Shi Feng was reluctant to leave behind
Su Lanyue paused her movements, and after sending the surrounding maidservants away, she asked with a puzzled expression: "Why the sudden desire to practice martial arts?"
To aspire to become an outer sect disciple, one must first stand out among the millions. Therefore, even the qualification to compete for the position of an outer sect disciple is exceedingly precious
The Body Refinement Realm is the foundation of martial arts, a nine-tiered platform that begins with the piling of earth. It is of utmost importance to all martial artists and must never be taken lightly
Before long, a maid hurried out to welcome Shi Lan inside
Upon hearing Shi Tianlu's words, the man's calm demeanor was disrupted, and he looked up in some surprise
... ...
The young woman is straightforward; if there are any offenses in her words, I hope you, elder brother, can be forgiving
Ziqiao was standing at the door when she saw Shilan approaching. She tilted her head and whispered something to another maid. After that maid entered the room, Ziqiao came forward and bowed in greeting
A gust of morning wind swept into the study, lifting the papers on the desk and revealing a letter hidden beneath them
Mother" Shi Lan bowed in greeting
In the Chengtian Domain, the Holy Martial Immortal Sect is akin to the heavens, a top-tier sect said to be presided over by the Emperor of Humanity in legend
"That's all, this matter can be discussed later." Shi Tianlu said with a smile, "Go ahead and do what you need to do."
Shifeng fell silent for a moment, then slowly spoke up
Where are there parents who do not wish for their sons to become dragons and their daughters to become phoenixes? If it were truly possible, Su Lanyue would certainly hope that Shi Lan could become a dazzling talent like Lu Yueqing
When Shi Lan arrived at Su Lan Yue's villa, the sky was already bright.
On the desk in front of Shi Tian, there was a black square box measuring one foot on each side.
In the realm of martial arts among the human race, a hundred schools of thought contend for supremacy. Although each has its strengths and weaknesses, the most powerful among them are undoubtedly Zen Buddhism, Daoism, and Confucianism. Among these three forces, Zen Buddhism places the greatest emphasis on the cultivation of the physical body
The Sacred Martial Immortal Sect, this is a name that evokes reverence in the hearts of all who hear it in the realm of Cheng Tian.
Well then... Su Lanyue made a decision in her heart, stood up and said: "Wait here." After saying this, she turned and entered the inner room
Shilan nodded and asked, "Is mother here?"
Shi Tianlu raised his hand to open the square box, and inside lay a head covered in fresh blood
Oh? Shi Tianlu glanced at Shi Feng and said, "Please explain your reasoning."
I am here and have already informed the mistress, please wait a moment, young master
Shi Lan was somewhat uncertain about Su Lan Yue's attitude, feeling a bit anxious. If this path with Su Lan Yue did not work out, she would have to consider other options, which would undoubtedly waste a great deal of energy and time
Shi Lan let out a slight sigh of relief, it seems that this matter should not pose any significant issues
At this moment, Shi Tianlu is in his study, meeting a rather unusual person
Practicing martial arts to strengthen the body and enhance one's self-defense capabilities is always beneficial. Shi Lan provided a seemingly reasonable justification
As for whether Shi Tianlu would discover that Shi Lan has a daughter, Su Lanyue has temporarily set this matter aside. She has only one daughter, Shi Lan, and perhaps this is how it will be for her in this lifetime, but Shi Lan still has the possibility of turning her fortunes around
After a short while, Sulan Yue emerged holding a brocade box approximately half a foot long.
For a moment, Sulan Yue fell silent
"Please sit." Su Lanyue nodded slightly and picked up the clear tea in front of her
Su Lan Yue spoke incessantly, although she understood in her heart that based on Shi Lan's past temperament, he would likely be unable to endure the hardships of martial arts training and would give up in just a few days. Yet, there was still a faint glimmer of expectation in her heart
If Shi Lan's identity is truly exposed, Su Lanyue also does not believe that Shi Tianlu would be so ruthless as to harm his own flesh and blood. As for her fate, that will be considered when the day truly arrives
"You flatter me, esteemed host." The man lowered his eyelids, his expression calm
Please take a seat and listen to what I have to say
"The subordinate requests to take leave." Shi Feng responded and left
Shi Tianlu shook his head, "Yi Ming's talent is ordinary, and he is too burdened by his thoughts; he won't get far on the path of martial arts. As for Qing Hu... he is indeed quite talented, but unfortunately, his temperament is too impulsive, and his strength is far too lacking, which will only lead to a wasted opportunity."
