Chapter 17 Disciple Recruitment Ceremony
Half a month passed quickly!

The Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect is extremely bustling today. The square halfway up the mountain is bustling with people. In addition to those who are already in place, more people are constantly arriving.

No matter whether they are nobles of the empire or leaders of various forces, who dares not to give face to the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect? Today is the ceremony for the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect's leader Ning Fengzhi to accept disciples.

After they took their seats, they immediately started chatting with each other, discussing the Seven Treasures Glazed Sect's leader and the Heaven Dou Empire's eldest prince. What kind of impact would it have if these two people became master and disciple, and how they should deal with it.

Before we knew it, it was already ten o'clock in the morning and it was time for today's protagonist to officially appear.

At the foot of the mountain, a royal carriage drove up and finally stopped. Then a young man walked out of it. He was not particularly handsome, but very delicate. He always had a smile on his face, giving people a very gentle feeling. His clothes were not luxurious, just a green cloth robe, but it was very clean and tidy. His long black hair was neatly tied behind his head, and he seemed to have a unique temperament.

And this young man is the eldest prince of the Tiandou Empire, Xue Qinghe.

After getting off the carriage, Xue Qinghe had a determined look on his face and walked up the mountain on foot, taking one step at a time until he reached the halfway point.

Walking here, Xue Qinghe took a long breath, straightened his slightly messy robe, and then bowed and said:

"I, Xue Qinghe, the disciple, have come to ask to see the Sect Master of the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect. I have heard that Sect Master Ning is a learned man with wisdom as vast as the sea, and is well-versed in history and the present. I admire your talent and would like to become your disciple. I will serve you every day in the future. I only ask that you accept me as your disciple!"

After saying this, Xue Qinghe bowed and did not get up for a long time, as if he would never get up as long as Ning Fengzhi did not agree.

At this time, it was naturally time for another protagonist to appear. Ning Fengzhi, under the protection of Chen Xin and Gu Rong, finally appeared and walked in front of Xue Qinghe.

Ning Fengzhi was elegant and easy-going, wearing a spotless white robe. He seemed a little helpless at this moment, and wanted to reach out and help Xue Qinghe up, saying:
"Chi'er, with your status, anyone would be willing to be your teacher. Why are you so obsessed with me? I'm just an ordinary soul master."

Instead of standing up, Xue Qinghe bent even deeper and said earnestly:
"Teacher, please don't refuse. I admire your talent and respect your character. I only want to serve you. I don't ask for anything else!"

Ning Fengzhi saw Xue Qinghe's sincerity and finally sighed, then said:

"In that case, I agree to your request. I hope that what I have learned throughout my life can be of some enlightenment to you."

Xue Qinghe finally stood up:
"Disciple Xue Qinghe greets the teacher!"

At this point, the status of master and disciple between Ning Fengzhi and Xue Qinghe has been determined. In fact, according to their identities, one is the leader of a sect and the other is a prince of the empire, this should be considered an alliance and an exchange of interests.

However, the act of becoming a disciple can not only create a good story, but also bind the two people more deeply.

Therefore, becoming a disciple had been discussed long ago, but today's show was performed for outsiders.

Seeing this touching scene, the nobles and leaders of the surrounding empires naturally came forward and said:
"Congratulations, Your Highness, for finding a famous teacher!"

"Congratulations, Master, for having a great disciple!"

Then Ning Fengzhi brought Xue Qinghe and greeted everyone present one by one, calmed them down, and finally returned to the main seat.

After several people sat down one after another, Ning Fengzhi said to Xue Qinghe:
"Your Highness!"

Xue Qinghe bowed and responded:
"Teacher, I will be your disciple from now on. Just call me Qinghe."

Ning Fengzhi nodded with a smile, and then said: "Qinghe, now that you have accepted me as your master, let me introduce you to these two, the two guardian gods of my Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect, Jian Douluo, Chen Xin, and Gu Douluo, Gu Rong."

Xue Qinghe did not dare to neglect and stood up to salute:
"Your Majesty Chen Xin, Your Majesty Gu Rong!"

Chen Xin and Gu Rong knew that this was Ning Fengzhi's plan to get the sect to interfere with the empire, so they nodded in greeting out of courtesy.

Then Ning Fengzhi introduced again:
"This is my daughter, Ning Rongrong. You can just call her Rongrong from now on. Rongrong, I haven't met your brother Qinghe yet."

Ning Rongrong knew the difference between the important and the unimportant. She was very well behaved at this time and stood up and said in a tender voice:

"Brother Qinghe!"

Xue Qinghe nodded with a smile, and said to Ning Fengzhi happily:

"Teacher, I have a younger sister at home. Her name is Xue Ke, and she is about the same age as Rongrong. Seeing Rongrong now makes me feel very close to her."

Ning Fengzhi said with a smile:
"That's naturally good. That one is a genius from my Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect, Chen Yuan. His martial soul is the Seven Killing Swords. He is Uncle Jian's disciple. He is only eight years old now, but he is already a second-ring Great Spirit Master."

When Xue Qinghe heard this, he started to praise him, saying things like a heroic young man with unlimited future achievements. Then he thought to himself that he was Ning Fengzhi's disciple and this person was Chen Xin's disciple. If you counted carefully, he was a generation younger than him, so he smiled and said:
"Chen Yuan, I am a few years older than you. If you don't mind, you can call me Brother Xue."

Chen Yuan did not spoil the show, but walked out and said calmly:
"Brother Xue!"

Xue Qinghe nodded, but didn't take it to heart. After all, he didn't take an eight-year-old two-ring great soul master seriously. He himself had an innate soul power of level 20, and after awakening and absorbing soul rings, he would become a two-ring great soul master.

Although he could not devote himself to cultivation wholeheartedly because he was undercover in the Tiandou Empire, his cultivation was not slow. Before he was twenty years old, he had already become a Soul King.

At the same time, Chen Yuan was also looking at Xue Qinghe, thinking to himself, his disguise was really powerful, Ning Fengzhi, as well as the two Titled Douluo, Chen Xin and Gu Rong, who were present, could not tell his true identity.

……

The ceremony of accepting disciples was quickly concluded. The status of Ning Fengzhi and Xue Qinghe as master and disciple was determined, and Xue Qinghe gained the support of Ning Fengzhi.

Soon good news came back. Xue Qinghe, who had gained the support of Ning Fengzhi, became famous in the court, and even Emperor Xue Ye had to take him seriously.

After weighing the pros and cons, Emperor Xue Ye finally appointed this prince, whom he had previously neglected, as the crown prince, making him the heir to the throne of the Tiandou Empire.

Xue Qinghe is not as intelligent as the second prince, nor as talented as the third prince. He is relatively mediocre in all aspects. The only merit worth praising is his gentleness and kindness. However, the second and third princes all died young. Compared with the unlearned fourth prince Xue Beng, Xue Qinghe became the only choice for Emperor Xue Ye, not to mention that he has now become Ning Fengzhi's disciple and has the support of the Seven Treasures Glazed Sect.

After this incident, Ning Fengzhi, as Xue Qinghe's teacher, became the Grand Tutor of the Crown Prince and was qualified to serve in the court of the Tiandou Empire.

The Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect gained great prestige through this.

The Haotian Sect, the world's number one sect, has proclaimed itself as its own mountain sect. The Qibao Liuli Sect, the world's number two sect, has completely surpassed the others in terms of fame and power, and is now aiming to become the world's number one sect.
