The moment the two had entered the border of the Great Luo Empire, they met with the Second Palace Master who had rushed over.
Emissary Liu immediately brought Qin Wushuang forward to pay his formalities.
The Second Palace Master had white and grey hair. Usually, his mature personality gave him the reputation for being cool-headed. Yet, this time, in a flush of anger, he seemed to be the opposite and fought with the other Palace Masters. Finally, he won the chance to have the priority to meet with Qin Wushuang. He only had one goal, and that was to see exactly just how much potential this victor of the martial arts student exam from the Bai Yue Country had.
"Marquis Wushuang, this is the Second Palace Master from the Star Gauze Palace," Emissary Liu introduced respectfully.
When Qin Wushuang met this second Palace Master, he had a very good first impression. Just by looking at the appearance, he seemed to be an ordinary old man.
However, if he looked at the eyes of the Second Palace Master, he would see a bottomless depth. It was a type of endlessness like an abyss in which any of his searching would fall deep into the ocean.
Indeed, this was a truly powerful warrior!
A powerful warrior that left you unable to feel his true strength and indeed, one could only imagine the superiority of his strength!
The Second Palace Master had the surname of Tan, and was named Zhongchi.
Yet, within the hundred of years, almost no one had dared to utter the three words of Tan Zhongchi directly. Regardless of whether you knew him or not, one must address him as "Second Palace Master" or "Master Tan."
Qin Wushuang stepped forward respectfully: "It is a pleasure to meet with you, Second Palace Master."
After quickly sizing him from head to toe, the more Tan Zhongchi liked him and the more playful his expression became. If it was the good-humored Fifth Palace Master, most likely he would have already started dancing.
"Ok, good." Tan Zhongchi laughed: "Qin Wushuang, unequalled in the country, this is also a wonderful name! Emissary Liu, for this Qin Wushuang, do you think that he deserve the title of a national scholar?"
Aware of his delicate interest, Emissary Liu knew that the Second Palace Master revealing his thoughts of treasuring this talent. How could he dare not to speak words of agreement?
Thus, he smiled apologetically: "Of course, a young man that had beheaded Li Wuji deserves these two words!"
Tan Zhongchi laughed while he rubbed his palms: "Nice, Qin Wushuang, I must admit that for twenty years, you are the only martial arts student in which I have wanted to take in as my student during our first meeting! Let me ask you, would you be willing to train under me?"
Before this trip, Qin Wushuang had never thought about studying and training with a Master. Now, hearing it from Tan Zhongchi, he could not help but hesitate. To him, who had always enjoyed a free lifestyle without any restrains. It would not be a problem if he were to study under a Master as there was an ancient saying of how everything had an order and the one that arrived before would become a teacher. The strength of this Second Palace Master would be much more powerful than his. It should be a good idea to study with him.
The problem was that he would not be willing if he were to lose the freedom.
Inwardly, Emissary Liu was surprised, he realized that Qin Wushuang was exhibiting traces of unwillingness. Thus, he could not help but remind him: "Marquis Wushuang, the Second Palace Master is one of the top figure in the Great Luo Empire. Many people have dreamt for days and night hoping from the day they were born to their death and would not get a chance to fulfill this wish."
Tan Zhongchi did not rush, he only observed Qin Wushuang with a smile. Honestly, if Qin Wushuang had listened to his wish and immediately agreed to study with him, he would not be happy.
A young man should have the ambition as a young man. Qin Wushuang’s hesitation had at least, proved that he could make his own decision. Surely, he had his own ideas regarding his path of training. Or else, he would never have this trace of hesitation.
On the path of training, one would not be afraid of not having a personality, but it would be a terrible thing to have no judgment.
To Tan Zhongchi who had trained up to this extent, he had grasped a deeper understanding and feeling of this fact.
Many upright and honest young people were unable to walk further on the path of training. There was only one reason. They had no individuality, lacked innovation and act according to convention.
"How about it? Young man, no need to rush to answer me." On the other end, Tan Zhongchi did not add pressure, but smiled: "I can give you enough time to consider. Besides, you are free to voice your concerns and your requirements. I am not afraid of questions, I am just afraid that you would not have the guts!"
These words had given Qin Wushuang a favorable impression. Initially, he thought that people who had trained all the way to the Palace Masters would have an arrogant attitude.
Unexpectedly, this Second Palace Master was nothing like that. He was extremely friendly. On the contrary, his attitude had even surpassed the Martial Saint when he first went to meet him!
At that time, the Martial Saint had somewhat put on some attitude.
And this Second Palace Master had appeared with such kindness. Qin Wushuang had never expected this.
"Second Palace Master, if I had said no directly, I would surely be seen as someone not knowing his position. In fact, when I met you, I could already feel the depth of the knowledge in you. Only, on the path of training, I had always strived towards freedom. If a sect restrains me, most likely, I would not be able to focus on going forward and would be hindered in my training of martial arts…"
Without a choice, Qin Wushuang could only speak the truth.
Turning pale with fright, Emissary Liu immediately gave meaningful glances at Qin Wushuang after hearing the words. From his view, Qin Wushuang had spoke these words boldly to the extent where it seemed he was not appreciating favors.
Unexpectedly, the Second Palace Master, Tan Zhongchi, revealed a thoughtful look and looked at Qin WuShuang with some surprise. He never expected that despite his young age, this young man had such determination. His rare stubbornness had in fact, defended against the attractions from him!
