Chapter 108 - In Name Disciple
Jian was now alone with Luo Qing. Ye Qiao was still sitting aside but it didn't matter as she never intervened in the sect's matter.
The results of the investigation on Luo Qing were already in Jian's hand and he was going to confirm the results by asking Luo Qing.
The results were collected by Yu Yang's team. They went to Luo Qing's village to find out more about him on Jian's instructions.
As Jian had expected the results were even more shocking. So he couldn't wait to ask Luo Qing about his past.
The results were that Luo Qing lived in the village with his father. No one knew where they come from but when Luo Qing was only three years old he and his father appeared in the village and started to live there.
Luo Qing father was appointed as the head guard of the village as he was the one who would hunt the beasts and protect the village from the bandits.
But one when Luo Qing was twelve years of age ha Nad his father went hunting the beasts for the celebration but a cultivator came and killed his father.
Everything happened in the village so the whole village was the witness. The person who attacked was flying and after killing Luo Qing's father he then looked at Luo Qing and said "trash" and flew away.
From then Luo Qing was all alone in the village even the villagers didn't go near him because of the cultivator who killed his father. They were afraid that they will be also killed.
So he lived alone at the outskirts of the village and would frequently go to the forest for food.
The main part of the investigation was that Luo Qing's father was also a spear user and he had taught the basics of the spear to Luo Qing and cultivation suddenly came and without even saying anything killed his father.
When Jian checked the results he asked avid the dead body of Luo Qing's father and found that it is buried in the forest and he asked them to see if it's still there.
This was all one month ago so he already got an answer which shocked him because he expected that his father body would be missing but it was still there and they had confirmed it with the villagers.
It was preserved as his father was also a cultivator. Jian thought about going there to check himself but decided to do in future.
Jian had expected something different but the results were quite normal and similar for a person from a village offending the cultivator and being killed for it.
So Jian knew that something was missing but since he couldn't find anything he kept it aside and focused on Luo Qing.
In the sect, Jian was sitting on the sect masters throne. He called Luo Qing towards him and asked similar questions ad Luo Xiu and Su Xiaobo.
Jian then asked if he had any doubts about the cultivation and helped in solving it. They continued to discuss for an hour.
After every question where answered, Jian asked "Luo Qing do you know why you can understand martial art easily?"
"Sect Master I don't know why but when I was young I would go to the forest with my father and practice.
My father would also tell me that I can learn anything easily so he would teach me anything as long as it helps."
Jian frowned " Are you sure you don't know anything?"
Luo Qing nodded and the Jian changed the question " where is your father?"
Luo Qing expression for the first time became solemn and in a hoarse voice, he replied "He was killed by the cultivator. Although I don't know his name I remember his face and I will kill him for what he did to my father."
Jian was also a little angry. Cause the story he gathered that Luo Qing was a very cheerful person similar to Ling'er but after his father's death and avoidance from the villagers he had become a cold and detached person.
Jian had also found out his body was covered in scars from continuously going to the forest and fighting many times he was on the verge of dying but was saved and the person who would save him was the village chief who gave the head guard position to Luo Qing's father.
Before coming to the sect the old village chief was also dead and so he didn't have anyone to depend upon so when he heard the sect was recruiting disciples without any checking he followed them back to the sect.
Jian knew the drive which was helping him in cultivation was revenge for his father and he knew he can't say anything for so he didn't touch that topic.
"Luo Qing would like to be my disciple"
Jian asked very carefully when Luo Qing's were calmed down and he wanted him to think before he made the decision.
Luo Qing was shocked he couldn't believe that Jian would take him as his disciple. He looked up and saw that Jian was serious.
He immediately Kowtowed and greeted Jian as his master. Jian smiled " For now you will be only my In name disciples so I would not teach you any but similar to now I will give you some pointers.
To become my disciple you would have to satisfy many conditions and if you are able then I would take you as my disciple. So are you sure you want to accept me as your master?
Luo Qing didn't hesitate one bit and again Kowtowed three times and greeted Jian as his master.
Jian smiled and helped him stand up and then told him to go to the Scripture Hall to read about the spears and read spear techniques. He specifically said read not learn so Luo Qing could understand.
Lou Qing again Kowtowed and left the sect Hall. Jian then sat back on the throne.. Although he would have accepted Luo Qing as his direct disciple but seeing what he had gone through in his life he knew that he would have to make Luo Qing understand the meaning bigger than his father's revenge.
