"You've co back just in ti. Zi'an is going to have his apprenticeship ceremony tomorrow. As his elder brother, you can help entertain the guests," Wei Xinghe said.
"By the way, father," Wei Zihao asked, "speaking of this, I wanted to ask you, do you really want Zi'an to apprentice under Ma Gu?"
"What's the matter, is there sothing inappropriate?"
"My son has heard that this Master Ma Gu only has a cultivation of small success in the Muscle-Bone Realm. As Zi'an's master, is that not sowhat inadequate?"
"Your brother is only just beginning to enter the Qi-Blood Realm. Master Ma Gu's instruction is more than sufficient for him," Wei Xinghe shook his head, "The key is that your brother is willing to follow his teachings. You know what Zi'an's attitude towards practicing martial arts was like before."
Wei Zihao thought about it and agreed.
His brother had always been reluctant to train in martial arts, always trying to get by with the least amount of effort.
If Master Ma Gu could keep him in line, then indeed, he was the best teacher for him.
"That is very well then. I was thinking if Zi'an truly wishes to practice martial arts, he could accompany to the Qingyun Sword Pavilion. I have recently beco an Inner Sect Disciple and am eligible to take three Sword Attendants."
To be a Sword Attendant, in reality, most Inner Sect Disciples use them to train their own confidants or to support their clan and friends. This had beco an unwritten rule.
"You, an Inner Sect Disciple of the Qingyun Sword Pavilion?"
Wei Xinghe was surprised and delighted upon hearing this news.
To beco an Inner Sect Disciple of the Qingyun Sword Pavilion, one must achieve Great Success in the Muscle-Bone Realm and pass the trials of the Pavilion.
It was said that the internal trials of the Qingyun Sword Pavilion were extrely strict.
He hadn't expected his eldest son to pass.
"Shafully, I achieved Great Success in the Muscle-Bone Realm half a year ago, and after three months of preparation, I barely passed the Sect's Inner Sect trials."
"Great Success in the Muscle-Bone Realm half a year ago... I rember when I sent you to Qingyun Sword Pavilion five years ago, you were only at small success in the Qi-Blood Realm. To reach the Great Achievent Realm in such a short ti, Hao Er, I was not wrong, your talent for swordsmanship is indeed suitable."
Wei Xinghe felt very satisfied.
Qingyun Sword Pavilion was one of the most powerful Sects in Jizhou, and the benefits for Wei Zihao becoming an Inner Sect Disciple were self-evident.
"I was quite proud of myself, but compared to the Young Master Lu you told about, these achievents seem insignificant."
"Don't compare yourself with Young Master Lu. His ntor and he are extraordinary, and naturally, not sothing ordinary people like us could compare with. However, the path of martial arts requires steady and solid progress, solidifying the foundations. As long as you move forward step by step, without impatience, you may eventually reach the summit of martial arts, achieve the status of a Grandmaster, and have the opportunity to step into the Innate Realm," Wei Xinghe spoke earnestly.
"Yes, father. I will rember your teachings," Wei Zihao replied seriously.
Co evening, Wei Zihao took Wei Zian with him to visit Lu Qing at the Youzhu Courtyard.
"Doctor Lu Xiao!"
Upon reaching the courtyard, Wei Zian rushed in first.
"Young Master, what brings you here?"
Lu Qing, who was reading in the courtyard, was sowhat surprised.
Wasn't the young man supposed to be apprenticing tomorrow? Yet he still found ti to wander around.
As for Little Yan and Little Li.
Mrs. Wei had taken a particular liking to Little Yan, and upon finding out she was learning to read, she volunteered to help Lu Qing with her education.
So lately, those two youngsters spent most of their ti there learning and usually only returned in the evening.
"My elder brother has returned. He said he wanted to et you, so I brought him over," Wei Zian said happily.
"Your elder brother?"
Lu Qing looked behind him.
There he saw a young man with a tall figure and a gentle face, staring at him sowhat dazedly.
At this mont, Wei Zihao's heart was filled with shock.
Before eting Lu Qing, he had always imagined him to be a young man around his age.
After all, although Father repeatedly ntioned this Young Master, he never specified his exact age.
But I never expected that Lu Qing's age would be so young, looking to be about the sa as Zi'an, just a few years younger.
To think that such a young man, with only the Muscle Bone Realm of cultivation, defeated a Martial Arts Grandmaster of Inner Organs Perfection in public.
Wei Zihao's heart couldn't help but tremble.
He finally understood why his father repeatedly emphasized not to compare himself to this Young Master Lu.
Who could possibly rival such a monstrous genius!
"Eldest Young Master?"
Seeing Wei Zihao staring at him blankly without speaking, Lu Qing called out.
Wei Zihao was like one awakened from a dream and quickly greeted him respectfully, "I've had the pleasure of eting Young Master Lu. My na is Wei Zihao; I am Zi'an's older brother. Thank you, Young Master Lu, for your righteous intervention that day. You not only saved my mother and younger brother but also rescued the Wei Family in a ti of peril."
Having said this, Wei Zihao deeply bowed to Lu Qing, making a ceremonial gesture.
"There's no need to be so courteous, Eldest Young Master. I simply followed my heart," Lu Qing said with a smile.
"Young Master Lu jests. The great kindness you have bestowed upon our Wei Family is sothing we shall never forget," Zihao replied.
Wei Zihao felt relieved; this Young Master Lu was indeed as gentle and approachable as his father described, without any hint of arrogance.
Noticing that Lu Qing was holding a book and had stayed in Youzhu Courtyard for a while, Wei Zihao took the cue to leave with his brother.

After they left the courtyard, he let out a long sigh of relief, feeling as if a heavy burden had been lifted.
"Big brother, what's wrong?"
Wei Zian, who was by his side, was sowhat puzzled by his behavior.
"This Young Master Lu is really extraordinary, the psychological pressure he imposes is simply too great," Zihao explained, wiping the cold sweat from his forehead.
"Really? I find Dr. Lu quite approachable," Zian said, looking confused.
"That's only because your cultivation is too low to sense the terrifying aspect of him."
Wei Zihao was still feeling the aftershocks.
Although Lu Qing had perfectly concealed his aura, not letting a bit of it leak out and appearing like an ordinary young boy,
Zihao couldn't make out the specific level of Lu Qing's cultivation.
However, a secret technique from his sect constantly warned him of Lu Qing's extre danger,
the kind that could effortlessly claim his life in an instant, and no matter how he struggled, escape was impossible.
Even when facing the Sect's elders of Inner Organs Perfection, he had never felt such a sense of danger.
At this mont, Wei Zihao truly believed there was no exaggeration in his father's words.
On the contrary, they might have been an understatent.
This Young Master Lu probably possessed more than just the strength to defeat a Martial Arts Grandmaster.
His true power likely far surpassed everyone's imagination.
Wei Zihao had the utmost faith in his own intuition.
After all, it was this intuition that had enabled him to repeatedly turn peril into safety over the years in the competitive Major Sect Qingyun Sword Pavilion and successfully beco an Inner Sect Disciple.
"This Young Master Lu is absolutely not to be trifled with!"
Wei Zihao imdiately made his decision.
Inside the courtyard, Lu Qing, who continued to read, sensed the Wei brothers' departure and smiled, a hint of amusent in his eyes.
"Qingyun Sword Pavilion, Spirit Secret Technique?"
"It seems that this Eldest Young Master of the Wei Family is also quite extraordinary."
