34: Take a female apprentice

Li Changfeng estimated that it had been three days since he left the Divine Sword Sect.

That kid, Second Young Master Xiao He, was still locked up.

He hadn't eaten anything, and Li Changfeng was really afraid he might starve to death!

Otherwise, it would cause no small trouble for the Divine Sword Sect!

It was time for him to go back.

"Anan, I'm going back. You must take good care of yourself in Sword City from now on," Li Changfeng said, releasing Chen Anan with a sigh.

"When I have nothing to do, I'll come down the mountain to see you."

Li Changfeng smiled slightly, revealing a mouthful of white teeth.

His hands tidied Chen Anan's clothes.

But upon hearing these words,

Chen Anan understood that this was indeed a farewell.

The Young Master was leaving!

"Young Master, can't you not leave!" Chen Anan was reluctant.

As soon as she said this, Chen Anan regretted it.

She and Li Changfeng were people from two different worlds to begin with.

Li Changfeng would leave sooner or later.

And she could only stay in Sword City; this was her home.

"What kind of foolish talk is this?" Li Changfeng chuckled.

"Anan, there are still people waiting for me back on the mountain."

"Be good, I'll come to see you often."

That little girl, Qingyue, was still waiting for him.

Moreover, it had been some time since he left the Divine Sword Sect; he couldn't just not go back forever.

Li Changfeng sighed, thinking of this.

If he had the chance, he would also want to take Chen Anan to the Divine Sword Sect.

However, Chen Anan had no status or position; if he really took her, he was afraid that...

"Alright then, Young Master, I'll wait for you!" A hint of disappointment flashed in Chen Anan's eyes.

"You'll come back, won't you?"

"Will you appear when I miss you?"

This departure, he was afraid, meant they would never meet again.

She looked up, gazing silently at Li Changfeng.

Chen Anan wanted to remember Li Changfeng's appearance so she could recognize him at a glance if they met again in the future.

"I will," Li Changfeng nodded vigorously.

Old Chen was already dead.

Only Anan was left.

She was all alone and pitiful, which made his heart ache!

Li Changfeng clenched his fists tightly, finally making up his mind.

He suddenly turned around and headed straight for the Divine Sword Sect.

"Young Master! Have a safe journey!" Chen Anan looked up, watching Li Changfeng's departing back and shouting with all her might.

Li Changfeng didn't look back; he was afraid he wouldn't be able to control himself.

But he finally couldn't bear it.

Buzz, buzz.

With a gust of wind,

Li Changfeng turned back, lightly tapping his toes. His movement technique was extremely fast, and he instantly appeared before Chen Anan.

"Young Master, why have you come back?" Chen Anan was a little curious.

Just now, the Young Master had already left. Why had he come back?

Was there something else he wanted to say?

Or had he changed his mind?

He wasn't leaving!

"Anan, I ask you, are you willing to cultivate?"

Li Changfeng looked up, a bright light flashing in his clear eyes.

As long as you are willing, I will take you with me.

Although you are a mortal, I have a way to take you to the Divine Sword Sect.

"Cultivate?" Chen Anan was startled, lowering her head in confusion and remaining silent for a long time.

"But I don't know how to cultivate, and it's very difficult."

"However, I really want to cultivate, to become strong myself, and protect the people I want to protect!"

"Young Master, why do you ask this?"

Chen Anan didn't understand. She looked up, her face full of anticipation.

"As long as you are willing, I can take you with me," Li Changfeng said, standing with his hands behind his back.

His expression was serious; he didn't seem to be joking.

Chen Anan didn't believe it.

Cultivation?

Didn't one need spirit veins for that?

But I am just a mortal, can I really cultivate?

"Young Master, we are not people from the same world," Chen Anan sighed.

"You are a cultivator, and I am just a mortal.

"I will experience birth, old age, sickness, and death, but you are different. As your cultivation improves, you can extend your lifespan."

They were not people from the same world to begin with.

If they were to meet, it would be better to part early.

"I'll help you," Li Changfeng said with some sympathy.

Old Chen was gone; from now on, only Chen Anan would be alone.

Sword City had lost one Lu family, but there would be thousands more Lu families in the future.

Chen Anan, a young girl, in such an environment...

It was inevitable that she would suffer.

"Really?" Chen Anan's eyes lit up, and she was very excited.

"Mm, do you know about the Divine Sword Sect?" Li Changfeng asked with a smile.

"Divine Sword Sect! Of course I know!" Chen Anan spoke volubly when she mentioned this sect.

A cold glint flashed in her eyes.

Looking at her small face, full of anticipation.

"The Divine Sword Sect is renowned throughout the world, along with Yaowang Valley and Mulan Manor, it ranks among the Three Great Sects of the world!"

"That is the place all cultivators in the Northern Region aspire to."

"If one can cultivate in the Divine Sword Sect, their future prospects are limitless!"

"However, the Divine Sword Sect has many rules for accepting disciples. Cultivators over sixteen who haven't broken through to the third-grade realm will be eliminated!"

She once had a dream of being a cultivator.

However, Chen Anan had no spirit veins and couldn't cultivate.

Moreover, sixteen-year-old Chen Anan hadn't even reached the first-grade realm.

Entering the Divine Sword Sect?

It was like a dream!

"Let's go. You can become my disciple, and I'll take you to the Divine Sword Sect," Li Changfeng nodded.

"What? Young Master, you're not delirious from a fever, are you? I haven't even reached the first-grade realm; I can't even enter the Divine Sword Sect's mountain gate," Chen Anan said self-deprecatingly.

"How will you know if you don't try?" Li Changfeng reached out again, touching Chen Anan's head.

But this time,

Chen Anan stepped back, quickly dodging him.

"Young Master, don't keep touching my head, I won't grow tall!"

"Seriously!"

"Why are you so annoying!"

Chen Anan snorted, then turned her head away, no longer looking at Li Changfeng.

Young Master, I'm sorry.

We are not people from the same world.

"How have you considered it? Will you be my disciple?" Li Changfeng asked again.

"Of course I'm willing, but can it really happen?" Chen Anan felt uneasy.

Li Changfeng sat cross-legged on the ground, tidying the Nine Songs Sword, then slinging it behind his back.

Their eyes met.

The atmosphere at this moment was slightly awkward.

You look at me.

I look at you.

Neither of them spoke.

A gentle breeze ruffled Chen Anan's long skirt.

Maple leaves drifted slowly, landing on her head.

"Take me as your master."

Li Changfeng reached out and removed the maple leaf from her head.

"Ah?" Chen Anan was startled.

"If you don't take me as your master, how can I take you to the Divine Sword Sect?" Li Changfeng said helplessly.

Chen Anan was stunned for a moment.

Then, she suddenly realized.

"Master above, please accept this disciple's bow!"

"Not enough. It should be the three bows and nine kowtows ceremony."

"Ah? So many rules!" Chen Anan pouted.

"Once you enter the Divine Sword Sect, there will be even more rules!" Li Changfeng mused, "Perform the ceremony."

Chen Anan stood up again, nodding vigorously.

After three consecutive bows,

She then stood up, looking very respectful.

"Master, are we going to the Divine Sword Sect now?" Chen Anan asked.

"No, you still have a junior brother. I need to pick him up," Li Changfeng said, waving his large sleeve and lightly tapping his toes, already ten steps away.

"He truly is an immortal!" Chen Anan gasped, her mouth wide open.
