In the wind and snow, the carriage kept moving forward.
"Am I dreaming?"
The carriage was as warm as spring. Lin Xinlan held the baby in her arms and looked at Li Fengyu, who had replaced her as the coachman, in disbelief.
In her mind, the indifferent Young Master, who was afraid of trouble, had agreed to take her as his disciple?
Looking at Situ Che, who was sleeping soundly in her arms, Lin Xinlan was rather speechless.
Although he only agreed to be a registered disciple, and he doesn't even need to be officially recognized, it is still very rare for Young Master …
"Could it be that this kid is really a rare martial arts prodigy? Or could it be that the young master is cold on the outside but warm on the inside, and is a very good person? Pooh … What am I thinking? Young Master is a nice guy!
She looked at the baby's blushing face and peeped at Wu Ming. For some reason, her cheeks suddenly blushed, and she quickly lowered her head.
Several hours later, an enormous city was already in sight.
"Gentle Wind Sacred City, here we are!"
Li Fengyu's respectful voice came from outside. Wu Ming lifted the curtain of the carriage and saw a giant beast on the horizon.
It was so tall that it was covered in a thick layer of frost, but it had been standing proudly on the top of the snow for a thousand years.
The thick city wall seemed to have blocked all the wind and snow. After the carriage entered the Sacred City, the temperature was even higher.
"Young Master, where are we going?"
Li Fengyu had been on the run. He was at a loss when he arrived at the city.
After all, with the power of his first wife, it was possible that she had tracked him to this place and even set up spies in advance.
"Let's find a place to stay first!"
Wu Ming said indifferently. Through the window, he could see many cultivators wearing thick leather jackets. At this moment, they were all looking at the carriage with reverence in their eyes.
After all, the snow outside was almost several feet deep. Those who could travel in such a hurry in such a snowy environment must be very strong warriors!
Such a martial artist would naturally be respected no matter where he went.
Li Fengyu found a random inn, and the manager and the waiters welcomed him with great enthusiasm. They even gave him a nice courtyard.
"Young Master!"
Inside the side room, the charcoal fire surged and the heat waves surged, almost causing the tip of one's nose to sweat.
Lin Xin Lan hugged the crying Situ Che and said anxiously, "He … he's crying again …"
This Situ Che usually only knew how to eat and sleep, and if he was the slightest bit unhappy, he would cry loudly, causing Lin Xinlan to be quite vexed. However, when he was by Wu Ming's side, he was extremely obedient, causing her to be greatly surprised.
"Hmm …"
Wu Ming chuckled and received it with both hands. Then, he casually shot out a stream of Mystic Water True Qi, condensing it into mist and spirit dew, which he fed to Little Situ Che.
"Giggle …"
After eating and drinking his fill, the little fellow had a silly smile on his face, causing Lin Xinlan to not know whether to laugh or cry.
"Li Fengyu!"
Wu Ming let Situ Che grab his arm and called Li Fengyu in.
"What can I do for you, young master?"
Knowing that the time to decide his fate had come, Li Fengyu hurried to bow. His posture and etiquette were extremely humble.
"Although I promised to accept him as a registered disciple and teach him something, I didn't really set a master-disciple relationship … Do you understand? If I know that he dares to use my name in the future, whether for good or evil, I will definitely kill him! "
Wu Ming smiled coldly. His words, however, made Li Fengyu shudder.
He had vaguely guessed Wu Ming's identity. While regretting that his young master had not caught the eye of this man, he had no choice but to bow and say, "I understand!"
"Very good … My time is limited, and I won't wander with him forever. You go and find a wet nurse to support him for a while. I'll find a place for him later …"
In ancient times, teachers were respected like fathers.
Now that he had become the disciple of the young master, Li Fengyu could do nothing about how Wu Ming was going to deal with Situ Che. Therefore, he had no objection.
"Very good. You and Xinlan will work together. She can protect you. I'm going out for a walk!"
After saying that, Wu Ming put his hands behind his back and disappeared into the wind and snow outside.
"Miss Lin …"
Li Fengyu smiled awkwardly. For some reason, he felt that the girl was staring at him with coldness in her eyes!
He hadn't forgotten how Lin Xinlan had awakened her bloodline and killed Three Fingers Ping. He felt cold sweat running down his forehead.
"Let's go. We must complete the young master's order as soon as possible!"
Lin Xinlan's face was cold. She was disappointed that she couldn't stay by Wu Ming's side. Poor Li Fengyu. But he also knew that Miss Lin was not in a good mood.
She was the close maid of the young master's master. Li Fengyu didn't dare to slight her. He lowered his attitude even more and tried to find a way to ease the tension.
…
"I walk alone in the wind and snow …"
Wu Ming was wearing a cloak and a bamboo hat. The edge of the hat was pulled down to his eyebrows. Immediately, he melted into the boundless sky.
The world was pure white and boundless, which made Wu Ming even more aware of the mysteriousness of the will of the heavens!
In such a mysterious state of mind, he had a better understanding of the world and himself.
'The Xuanming True Art is the true inheritance of the Martial Emperor. It was born from the Eight Divine Arts and its power is beyond that … Others can't get it even if they want it a thousand times, but I got it easily. This is the biggest reason. It wants to give it to me, but I don't want it …
'As for the rest, they are just minor details. Anyway, not only can I not benefit from this Situ Che, I also need to bestow a favor on him …'
'The Heavenly Secret is activated, but it's done by others. As long as I do my job well and don't be tempted, what's there to be afraid of?'
Wu Ming smiled. The wind and snow in front of him suddenly stopped, and a huge octagonal pavilion appeared.
The pavilion stood in the center of the Holy City. There were huge red doors in all eight directions. A large number of martial artists came in and out of the doors. There was an endless stream of horses and carriages. It was very lively.
"The Exquisite Heavenly Secret Pavilion!"
The corner of Wu Ming's mouth held a trace of a smile as he said the name of the octagonal pavilion.
This building was built by the Tianfeng Holy Land. It was just a branch. As for the headquarters, it was nowhere to be found. Most martial artists thought it was in the depths of the Tianfeng Holy Land.
He took a few more steps forward and saw the towering figure of the octagonal pavilion.
On the four walls next to it, there were four huge announcement boards hanging down. The life stories of martial artists were written on them.
The first ranking board was dark purple with a hint of black. Obviously, it hadn't been changed for a long time. The first line was written in huge font: "First on the God and Demon List — Martial Emperor!"
There were a few names below it, all of which were terrifying martial artists who had appeared briefly in history. Dugu Kuangfu and Mad Warrior were among them.
'Unfortunately … this ranking board is the most incomplete. There is no record of a real God and Demon martial artist. It's not practical at all …'
Wu Ming thought to himself and turned to the other side.
The announcement board here was much more detailed than before. The red words on a black background were very eye-catching. It was the Heavenly Phenomenon Ranking.
"First on the Heavenly Phenomenon List! 'Young Master Ao' of the Tianyuan Holy Land. Proficient in the Double Ultimate Mysterious Technique. Extremely talented … "
"Second, Splashing Wind Martial Saint …"
…
"Eighth, Crippled Zen Master from the Tianyuan Holy Land!"
"Ninth, Di Que Boy from the Extreme Earth Holy Land …"
Apart from the rankings, the life stories were more detailed. Wu Ming scanned ten lines and immediately saw himself. "Fallen Deity. Name unknown. Place of birth unknown. His moves are extraordinary. Clouds and dragons are faintly discernible. His movements are unpredictable. He is like an Exiled Deity …"
He shook his head and no longer looked at the Earthly and Hero Lists. He strode inside.
"This Heavenly Secrets Pavilion has branches in every large city, and it even has secret training methods. The 'Hyacinth' it cultivates can fly without a trace and connect to the mainland. It can be said to be the most well-informed place in the world, and it also has the support of other Holy Lands. As such, the Four Rankings of Martial Artists that it sets are publicly acknowledged, and anyone in the pugilistic world would be proud to be on the rankings!"
"Welcome, Young Master!"
Inside the pavilion, the four copper pillars were steaming. The inside was hollow, and hot water flowed through it, making the whole room as warm as spring.
The wool carpet under one's feet was soft and firm, making one want to sink into it.
As soon as he entered the door, a smiling maid came to welcome him. She was polite and respectful. Although she did not have much color, she still looked very cute.
"Hmm … I'm just looking around …"
Wu Ming looked around and saw that the wooden shelves were filled with all kinds of divine weapons. There were sabers, spears, swords, halberds, axes, hooks, forks, and even strange weapons. From time to time, martial artists would come forward and touch the blades as if they were caressing the skin of their lover.
"This is the Divine Weapon Pavilion. What kind of weapon would you like?"
The maid smiled and said, "If you have other requests, you can go to the other pavilions. There will be sisters to serve you …"
"I see!"
Wu Ming looked at the doors of the pavilions and thought of the eight passages in the octagonal pavilion. He immediately thought of the commercial buildings in his previous life.
If he entered from the other passages, he would see elixirs, secret manuals, armors, and other service options.
"If I want to buy information, where should I go?"
Wu Ming asked.
"Customer wants to buy information? Then you should go to the Drizzle Pavilion! Please follow me! "
Even though she lost a business, the maid did not look disappointed and led the way.
Inside the exquisite Tianji Pavilion, there were interconnected passages and bridges. It was densely packed and bustling with pedestrians, like a huge and orderly beehive.
If it was an ordinary martial artist, without the guidance of a maid, he would have fainted on the spot.
The Drizzle Pavilion was located in the southeast of the octagonal pavilion. Even the martial artists who came and went were mostly hidden. It was full of mystery.
As soon as he stepped into the loft, the sound outside immediately decreased. Wu Ming knew that the Drizzle Pavilion probably had other mysteries from the selection of materials to the casting. They used sound-reducing materials to preserve the privacy of the customers to the greatest extent. They were very dedicated.
