After the Li Chun comes the Li Qiu, followed by the Tie Niu.
Chen Ke suddenly realized that passing on the "photographic memory" to his three little followers would be very helpful for their future cultivation.
After finishing all that work, it was already afternoon.
Chen Ke was a bit tired. Luckily, he had rested and recuperated for several days, otherwise he really wouldn't have been able to handle it.
It costs 50 Soul Points to teleport a skill.
Standing by the window, Chen Ke looked at his three once inseparable followers, who had suddenly become taciturn, their eyes darting around, and their minds preoccupied. He knew something bad had happened.
After thinking for a moment, he had no choice but to call all three of them in, close the door, and have them sit down side by side.
Chen Ke also sat down, remained silent for a moment, and sighed, "Do you all remember when I was injured on the city wall in Meicheng, and returned home on the verge of death?"
The three henchmen nodded vigorously at the same time. How could they not remember? They were so scared at the time that they cried buckets of tears.
Chen Ke said with a nostalgic expression, "I wasn't actually unconscious at that time, but rather immersed in a dream."
"In a dream?!"
Chen Ke nodded: "That dream was very real. I don't know how I ended up in a paradise-like place. Colorful auspicious clouds floated everywhere, and beautiful and tall palaces were built on the clouds. There were also many people riding cranes or winged blue oxen, traveling back and forth in the sky."
Lichun stared wide-eyed in astonishment: "That, that's like a fairyland?!"
"I think so,"
Chen Ke nodded. "In a place called Nantianmen, I met an old man with a white beard. He took me to a fairy island, reshaped me with a large cauldron, and taught me many things."
The three lackeys gaped in shock, and Tie Niu exclaimed, "No wonder! No wonder the young master seemed like a completely different person after waking up! The young master has been reborn!"
Li Chun and Li Qiu nodded vigorously. Yes, they felt the same way.
I see!
Chen Ke said solemnly, "The initiation technique I performed on you was taught to me by the old man with the white beard; it's not an evil art."
It's not evil magic, of course it isn't.
The three henchmen shook their heads in unison, for it was not only not an evil spell, but a divine one!
Thinking this to themselves, a hint of excitement flashed in the eyes of the three of them.
If the young master uses his magic to teach them, doesn't that mean they have formed a karmic bond with the immortals?
Chen Ke looked into the eyes of the three men and said solemnly, "Telling you this secret now is tantamount to revealing a heavenly secret. You must swear that you will never utter a single word of it again!"
The three men raised their hands simultaneously, saying solemnly, "Young Master, we will definitely keep this a secret!"
Chen Ke nodded in satisfaction and continued in a serious tone, "With great power comes great responsibility. Now that you have formed a bond, do not disappoint my expectations. You must cultivate diligently in the future. I will speak with Uncle Chen and all expenses for cultivation will be covered by the manor's accounts."
The three lackeys' eyes reddened, and they bit their lips as they knelt and bowed to Chen Ke.
An immortal touched my head, and I was granted eternal life.
The young master has given them such a great opportunity, how could they not cherish it?
Who would want to be a maid for life? Who would want to drive a carriage for life?
Who doesn't have a dream?
Even the clueless Lichun realized that from this day forward, her fate would undergo a dramatic change.
And the young master is no longer just a young master, but their guide and their mentor!
Therefore, the three of them performed the kneeling ceremony very solemnly, bowing three times before raising their heads and looking at Chen Ke with awe.
Chen Ke continued, "From today onwards, the three of you will be even busier. Tie Niu, I will arrange a place for you to cultivate. At the Li Chun and Li Qui, you will also be assigned to other places to learn and practice at the same time."
Chen Ke had already decided that his three little followers wouldn't actually do much during his time at the Great Xia Academy, so it would be better to send them to a suitable place to hone their skills.
Chen Ke didn't know the others, but he did know the people from Hidden Dragon Pavilion, and it just so happened that Manager Liu was here again.
If you're going to study medicine for Li Chun, then you might as well go to Doctor Hu's clinic for an internship. For Li Qui, you'll be the intelligence chief, and you'll need to be sent to the Hidden Dragon Pavilion for further training. As for Tie Niu, he can no longer work in isolation; he should spar more with his opponents to improve his cultivation speed.
After they've honed their skills for three to five years, they should be able to become my right-hand men.
"Alright, that's all I have to say. Let's eat!" Chen Ke stood up and said, feeling completely relaxed.
The three lackeys learned the whole story and felt an unprecedented sense of relief. The tense expressions they had maintained all afternoon finally broke into relaxed smiles.
As night fell, Director Liu came to visit, this time entering through the main gate.
In the small living room, Liu Zimeng took out a wooden box and handed it to Chen Ke: "Chen Ke, this is twenty wood-attribute spirit stones. Keep them safe."
Chen Ke accepted the box and bowed to express his gratitude.
Liu Zimeng looked into Chen Ke's eyes and suddenly said, "A few days ago, the Qin princess was attacked in Chunshan City. Are you aware of this?"
Chen Ke looked shocked: "Is the princess alright?!"
"You really don't know?" Liu Zimeng's eyes were full of doubt.
Chen Ke shook his head: "I've been in Capital City these past few days, busy with my studies. How could I possibly know?"
Liu Zimeng nodded slightly. He was certainly aware of Chen Ke's recent whereabouts, but there were some facts that he couldn't explain.
Since it concerned the secrets of the Hidden Dragon Pavilion, he couldn't say much or ask too many questions, so he could only vaguely say, "Our Hidden Dragon Pavilion had already made preparations in advance, so the princess is safe and sound."
Chen Ke breathed a sigh of relief and said, "It's good that you're alright, it's good that you're alright."
Suddenly remembering something, Chen Ke said embarrassedly, "Dean Liu, in all my years of study, I've only known a few capable people. There are some things I'd like to ask Dean Liu for help with."
Liu Zimeng was astonished. In his memory, he had never seen Chen Ke ever feel embarrassed.
He nodded slightly: "Actually, I'm just an ordinary person. Tell me, and I'll do my best to help if I can."
Putting aside the teacher-student relationship between Chen Ke and Liu Zimeng, the fact that Chen Ke repeatedly helped the Hidden Dragon Pavilion meant that neither Liu Zimeng nor the Hidden Dragon Pavilion would refuse Chen Ke's request for help.
Moreover, the higher-ups of Hidden Dragon Pavilion are becoming increasingly interested in Chen Ke. Perhaps by spending more time with Chen Ke, they can unravel the mysteries in their hearts.
At that moment, Chen Ke truthfully told Liu Zimeng about some of the arrangements for his three lackeys.
Liu Zimeng thought about it for a moment and then agreed.
It's not like we're incorporating three lackeys into the Hidden Dragon Pavilion; we're just giving them a learning opportunity. This request isn't unreasonable.
In fact, a considerable proportion of the spies in the Hidden Dragon Pavilion were recommended from within, and Liu Zimeng's recommendation of several people was also within the rules.
If one of these three is indeed a rare talent, it would be a good thing for Hidden Dragon Pavilion.
ah!
Suddenly, a scream came from one of the rooms.
Liu Zimeng and Chen Ke were both startled and walked out of the room.
Li Qiu, with disheveled hair and a handful of notebooks in her hand, ran out of her room, filled with both surprise and fear.
She held up the book in her hand and said to Chen Ke in a trembling voice, "Young Master, I... I can read now!"
Liu Zimeng was completely bewildered, but Chen Ke smiled with delight.
He understood what Liqiu meant; Liqiu must have activated the "photographic memory" skill, which is why he scared himself.
ding!
