Swordsman the Wanderer
Ch 38's. Introducing Yourself
Arriving at the entrance gate of the Sect, Chairman Xin Long and Zhang En were greeted by the Great Elder as well as several Elders. They all immediately paid their respects to Chairman Xin Long.
"I'm sorry for making you wait" Chairman Xin Long said.
"No Chairman, we should be the ones apologizing for not being able to come to your aid in times of need" said one of the Elders.
"That's it, it's done. Now let me go in to be with my students"
The elders who heard the words of their sect leader did not ask that because they had previously been told directly about the young man who had been handpicked by Chairman Xin Long as his successor.
Chairman Xin Long then invited Zhang En into his sect to his safe place. Many students were seen there and busy with their respective activities. The Red Dragon Sect was vast, many magnificent buildings lined up were visible there. There are also hundreds of students seen pacing back and forth to do their respective accreditations.
When they saw Zhang En. Most of them were wondering and were very curious about the young man who was with the Sect Chief, what else the teenage woman who was staring at Zhang En from a distance felt that there was interest visible from their eyes.
As they paced past the students who were there, the disciples paused for a moment from their activities and greeted and saluted Chairman Xin Long. They also glanced towards Zhang En who was carrying a long sword on his back as well as the long hair covering his shoulders bound backwards.
The handsome face of the young man made the female disciple feel the vibes of love in each other's hearts. As Zhang En looked towards them, the female disciple then tried to display as sweet a smile as possible to attract the attention of the young man who was walking past all of them.
Zhang En continued walking through the sect grounds and continued to follow Chairman Xin Long from behind. Zhang En was amazed to see the magnificent buildings as well as the many disciples within the sect.
Each path they walked along filled with many small grasses was scattered in the corners of the sect grounds, and the ground beside the path was planted with various flowers.
It was different with the male disciple who saw Zhang En coming, though, they felt radiating hostility as they saw the female disciple in their sect deeply attracted to the young man and dislike appearing in their hearts each seeing Zhang En's appearance that looked valiant and handsome rivaling his their expectations.
Arriving at Chairman Xin Long's residence, Zhang En had felt the atmosphere of the surroundings was very beautiful and comfortable. Even the residence of this Chairman Xin long had a comfortable environment where one did not have to worry about the outside world and could cultivate peacefully.
Chairman Xin Long then took Zhang En in a small house right next to his residence.
"You'll stay and train here. From today on you are my student, if there is anything you need you can meet me" Xin Long said, pointing to the slightly large house next to her.
"In the meantime, I will go briefly to meet the elders of the sect to handle some matters. Tomorrow, I'll come see you again."
"Thank you Master" Zhang En replied as he kneeled before Chairman Xin Long.
After Chairman Xin Long left from there, Zhang En then went inside to the room in the small house.
After opening the room door and looking at its contents, the room was a little dusty. Zhang En saw a bed carved from mahogany and 1 table and chair next to the bed and on the table there were 1 lantern on it.
Zhang En then cleaned the entire room and tidied up some furniture that can be used for everyday use.
After finishing his work, Zhang En then cleaned himself up and also changed the clothes he used. After that he finally restrained his body to eliminate his fatigue.
•••
The next day, Zhang En felt that his body had recovered and started cultivating in the room. This was his first day of staying and becoming a disciple of the great Imperial Sect.
After an hour of cultivation, Zhang En came out to the front of his courtyard and pulled out his sword to train his sword.
Zhang En did the exercises and he also did not forget to repeat and practice his sword style. Zhang En moved back and forth moving the sword he had in his hand, his body letting out a hint of sweat drenching all over his body and Zhang En felt his sword stance at the moment there was little progress.
Chairman Xin Long who had been awake and was next to the residence of the young man only watched Zhang En from behind the window of his room while smiling at the young man.
He also felt admiration for Zhang En for seeing his ambitious determination as well as passion to practice on his own.
Not long after, Zhang En went inside the small house he lived in to clean himself up and prepared to get out of the Sect Chief's residence looking for morning air.
When Zhang En came out from inside, he saw Chairman Xin Long already in front of the courtyard was waiting for his arrival.
"Good morning also my disciple" the sect master replied with a smile.
"Teacher. What made this teacher come to see me so early in the morning?"
"Haha. I just want to invite you to immediately meet the sect elder".
Zhang En nodded in understanding of the arrival of his teacher. Then they immediately left the place towards the Sect Meeting Hall.
Arriving there, there were about 30 Sect Elders and hundreds of sect disciples who were already present at the place then simultaneously saluted the Sect Chief.
"Honor to the Sect Chief" they said simultaneously.
After which, they sat down in their respective seats and Elder Xin Long sat in the front seat facing all of them.
"Thank you all for being here. Right now I'm going to introduce someone to all of you" said Chairman Xin Long with an authoritative tone in the inner energy flow so that it could be heard by all the students in the room.
Suddenly all the disciples in the room became silent at once hearing the voice of the Sect Leader.
Chairman Xin Long then told Zhang En to come forward and introduce himself.
Zhang En then walked past the crowd of disciples who were staring at him then he introduced himself to all of them.
"Include me, my name is Zhang Xian En. You can call me Zhang En".
The entire room became boisterous after knowing the young man they saw with the Sect Chief was a champion at the Empire's tournament. After he won the tournament, Zhang En's name was widely known and became the story of everyone in the entire Imperial city and also a disciple of the Legend of the Swordsman of the Life-Acting Lightning.
"Hope to all of you to calm down" said the Great Elder restoring the noisy atmosphere with various sounds coming out of each sect disciple.
"He was the winner of this year's imperial tournament and raised him my personal disciple. And one more thing, he I've chosen to be my successor"
All the disciples who heard the words at the end of the Sect Chief's sentence were shocked and did not expect that. Most were envious of feeling that Zhang En had gotten the fortune of being the direct successor of the Sect Chief and automatically becoming their Sect Young Master.
The Elders who had previously known about it were not surprised anymore and there were also some among them feeling dislike towards Zhang En.
"From today, Zhang En I announce as my successor. Does anyone mind? said Chairman Xin Long gazing towards all of them.
Everyone present in the room no one dared to refute the words of the Sect Chief. They all just kept quiet and agreed with the Sect Chief's decision.
"Then the meeting is over today"
All the sect disciples and Sect Elders then left the place to do their own activities.
"Teacher, why should I be your successor? aren't there still many students who are more deserving than me?" zhang En asked a little not to want that.
"aha. You don't worry, keep practicing and prove that you deserve it" Chairman Xin Long replied.
Zhang En just took a deep breath, he knew that after this must be a lot of students who would not be happy about it and would look for trouble with it.
"That'sit. Whatever.. If they look for trouble and fight with me, I will fight against them. The important thing right now is that I should be able to raise my cultivation level and train to avenge my family" Zhang En said in his heart.
