Chapter 50 We Have A Good Fate (Please Collect)

  Everyone was silent at the dinner table, and Gao Tianming didn't dare to speak either because he saw that several people weren't speaking.

  After finishing breakfast, everyone came to the main hall of the mountain villa. Ge Lao sat in the main seat, Chen Gu and Gao Tianming sat at the lower end, while Wu Bo did not come to the main hall but went to deal with the affairs of the mountain villa.

  Ge Lao looked at Gao Tianming, a hint of appreciation flashing in his eyes: "Tianming, weren't you studying in F City? Why have you come back again?"

  Gao Tianming touched his nose and said: "I've been having some problems lately, so I'd like to ask for your advice, Master Ge!"

  "Oh?" Ge Lao stroked his long beard and smiled: "Speak up, maybe old man me can help you figure it out."

  Gao Tianming thought for a moment and said, "Ge Lao, after I practiced Taiji Fist according to your teachings, I developed internal energy. Later, I met people from the Wang family in F City, and then I learned some things that I didn't know before!"

  "King's family?" Ge Lao seemed to recall something and said: "I seem to have some impression, what about it?"

  Then a young man from the Wang family gave me an internal skill manual and I promised him to participate in the Tianling Mountain Grand Competition several months later!

  "Are you going to Tianling Mountain?" Ge Lao's eyebrows furrowed, "Your strength is not enough to stand out on Tianling Mountain!"

  "Haha," Gao Tianming scratched his head and said: "At the time I didn't know all this, I just thought it was fun so I agreed."

  "So what problem do you want me to help you solve?" Ge Lao asked with a smile.

  Gao Tianming felt a bit embarrassed, "My ultimate goal in finding Master Ge is that I hope you can accept me as your apprentice!"

  "Take you as an apprentice?" Ge Lao lowered his head and fell into thought.

  Seeing his master like this, Chen Gu suddenly said beside him: "Master, Tian Ming's talent is very good, take him as an apprentice."

  Ge Lao looked at his big apprentice and couldn't help but smile, "Tian Ming, what kind of internal skill manual did the Wang family give you?"

  "They gave me a yellow-class low-grade 'Ping Shui Jue'." Gao Tianming replied truthfully.

  "'Ping Shui Jue'?" Ge Lao's tone seemed somewhat surprised, beckoning to Gao Tianming with a wave of his hand, "Come over here for a moment, I want to take a look at your inner strength."

  Gao Tianming didn't hesitate and walked up to Ge Lao. Ge Lao reached out and grasped Gao Tianming's hand, closed his eyes, and slowly released his internal energy.

  Gao Tianming felt a fine, almost solid inner force circulating within his body. Wherever this force passed through, Gao Tianming's meridians felt a tingling sensation.

  After a long time, Ge Lao opened his eyes and looked at Gao Tianming. His eyes revealed a complex expression. "Tianming, do you know where this 'Ping Shui Jue' came from?"

  Gao Tianming couldn't understand Ge Lao's gaze, and replied: "I'm not too clear either. The secret manual says that this 'Ping Shui Jue' is the foundational skill of a certain large sect's disciple from before, but it doesn't specifically say which sect."

  Ge Lao let out a faint sigh, "The 'Ping Shui Jue' is the initial mental technique of the Lei Xuan Sect."

  "Lei Xiao Sect?" Chen Gu looked at his master with a puzzled expression: "Among the current major sects, there doesn't seem to be this school, does it?"

  "It's not! Because this sect, after its heyday, slowly began to decline and finally collapsed 100 years ago." The complexity in Ge Lao's eyes deepened even further, "And I am the 67th generation leader of the Lei Xiao Sect!"

  "What?" Chen Gu suddenly stood up, "Master, why didn't you ever tell me about this before?"

  Ge Lao let out a soft sigh, "What's the use of knowing these past events! If it wasn't for hearing Tian Ming say that he was cultivating the 'Ping Shui Jue', I probably wouldn't have spoken about this history either!"

  "Hey, Ge Lao." Gao Tianming suddenly interjected: "Then can I take you as my master? I suddenly feel that we have a great affinity!" As he said this, even Gao Tianming himself felt his face flush with embarrassment.

  "Haha." Upon hearing Gao Tianming's words, Ge Lao suddenly burst out laughing, "Yes, we indeed have a predestined relationship. I taught you an ordinary fist technique, and now you've learned the 'Ping Shui Jue' from our sect. It seems that everything was arranged by fate." Ge Lao sighed and continued, "Moreover, as someone who isn't even a member of our sect, you've managed to learn our sect's martial arts. This is a serious offense that warrants the removal of one's inner power."

  "Want to abolish internal power?" Gao Tianming's hand involuntarily shrank back a little.

  Seeing Gao Tianming's appearance, Chen Gu laughed and said: "Little Shidi, why are you so tense? Master is just joking with you."

  "It's not... I just had a bit of a conditioned reflex!" Gao Tianming said awkwardly.

  Ge Lao smiled and looked at Gao Tianming, asking: "Now I ask you, are you willing to take me as your master?"

  "Will do, of course." After finishing speaking, Gao Tianming thought of the apprenticeship scenes on TV and hurriedly knelt down. As a result, his hands were held up by Ge Lao, "It's not that old-fashioned anymore, just offering a cup of tea is enough."

  Gao Tianming looked around and found a teapot on the table next to him, so he ran over to grab it.

  With both hands holding the teacup, Gaotianming said respectfully: "Please, Master, have some tea."

  Ge Lao took the tea from Gao Tianming's hand, took a sip, nodded and said: "You are now my apprentice. My full name is Ge Ning. There are some rules I need to tell you." Ge Lao suddenly became serious: "The rules are simple. If there is any deceit towards the master or ancestors, harming fellow disciples, no matter where you are in the world, I will definitely clean up the door."

  "The disciple understands."

  Chen Gu saw Gao Tianming finish his apprenticeship on the side, walked over and hugged Gao Tianming with one arm, "Tianming, you've finally become my little junior brother, quickly call out 'older brother' to hear it."

  Upon hearing Chen Gu's words, a black line flashed across Gao Tianming's face, "Shixiong~"

  "Haha, cool." Chen Gu suddenly exclaimed, "Finally someone calls me that!"

  Seeing Chen Gu's appearance, Ge Ning shook his head: "You're already over 30 years old, why are you still acting like a child?"

  "Hehe, Master, I'm just too excited," said Chen Gu with a smile.

  "At dawn, come with me to the backyard. Your inner strength hasn't reached the second level of Houtian yet, just in time to abandon 'Ping Shui Jue' and switch to our sect's 'Jing Lei Jue'!"

  "Alright, Master," said Gao Tianming.

  Chen Gu heard that his master was going to the backyard to teach Tian Ming, and he also wanted to follow. As a result, Ge Ning turned around and said: "Chen Gu, you don't need to follow, so as not to disturb your junior brother's study."

  Gao Tianming winked at Chen Gu and followed Ge Lao to the backyard of the mountain villa with a smile.

  Seeing his plan foiled, Chen Gu sighed and said: "Understood, Master!"
