There were indeed small words embroidered on the inside of the jade statue's shoes. Looking closely, he recognized that the right shoe was embroidered with the words " kowtow a thousand times for my command ", while the left shoe was embroidered with the words " obey my orders and die without regret ".
The sixteen words were smaller than a fly. The shoes were lake green, and the sixteen words were embroidered with thin green threads. They were only slightly darker than the base color. The light in the stone chamber was hazy. If it wasn't for Zhao Yi's profound martial arts, he would have to kowtow and look carefully to see them.
Seeing this, Zhao Yi turned his gaze to Zhong Ling and Qian Xue, who were quarreling, and said with a smile,""Stop arguing. I have something to ask you now.”
"Big brother, what's the matter? Did you find a secret manual?" Hearing this, Zhong Ling immediately ran over and hugged Zhao Yi's arm. She even made a face at Qian Xue, which made Qian Xue extremely angry. She said coldly,"Humph! Zhao Yi, if you have anything to say, just say it! Don't be so wishy-washy. Are you still a man? If you have something to say, say it quickly.”
"Whether I am a man or not, you will know in the future. Don't beg for mercy.”After hearing this, Zhao Yi smiled playfully. Ignoring the embarrassed and furious Qian Xue, he said with a serious expression,"Now, let me ask the two of you, which one of you is willing to join the Carefree Sect?”
Zhao Yi pointed at the jade statue and said,"If you're willing, kowtow a thousand times according to what's written on that pair of shoes.”
"To become a disciple of the Carefree Sect, you have to kowtow a thousand times.”Qian Xue's expression turned difficult. Her family was also a big force, and she was a spoiled young lady. It was almost impossible for her to do all this.
Therefore, Qian Xue carefully looked at the small words on the jade statue and shook her head."No, I don't want it! It was not worth it to kowtow to the jade statue a thousand times without even seeing it.”
Qian Xue didn't explain, but her meaning was obvious. She meant that there was no one here, and kowtowing a thousand times might not be useful. When they found the Carefree Sect's secret manual, it didn't matter whether they kowtowed or not.
"F * ck, Ling 'er is willing to join the Carefree Sect. Since Ling' er wants to learn the martial arts of the Carefree Sect, it's only right for her to join the Carefree Sect.”As soon as Qian Xue finished speaking, Zhong Ling had already knelt down on the large praying mat.
Zhong Ling felt that it would be very immoral for her to learn the martial arts of the Carefree Sect without the other party's permission. Therefore, although she did not want to give up the opportunity to learn the martial arts of the Carefree Sect, she still felt guilty. Now that she had the opportunity to learn the martial arts of the Carefree Sect officially, she was a million times willing.
Kowtow a thousand times was indeed very tiring for ordinary people, but it was not a big deal for Zhong Ling, who had practiced martial arts.
This was also what Zhao Yi was happy to see. It was impossible for Zhao Yi to not be on guard against this young miss. If she was unwilling now, she would be too embarrassed to ask for it when Zhong Ling got the secret manual later. Who asked her to be so arrogant!
After all, Zhao Yi and Qian Xue had not known each other for long, and Qian Xue had been captured by Zhao Yi. Zhao Yi would never believe that Qian Xue did not have any resentment in her heart.
Now that Qian Xue had obtained the martial arts of the Carefree Sect, she might find an opportunity to leak it to her parents. If they became enemies in the future, wouldn't she be in huge trouble? Zhao Yi wasn't that stupid!
No matter what, Zhong Ling had already begun to kowtow. She only felt that kowtowing a thousand times was originally a matter of course. To be driven by her, there was no way to talk about it. If she was gone, who would she be driven by! Zhong Ling only wanted to have a clear conscience." One, five, ten, fifteen, twenty…" Zhong Ling counted and kowtowed respectfully to the jade statue.
"What a naive little girl." Seeing this, Qian Xue's face was filled with disdain.
"You can't say that." Zhao Yi shook his head and said," The little girl is just trying to have a clear conscience. Moreover, after kowtowing a thousand times, she will be officially a disciple of the Carefree Sect. In the future, she will not have to worry about using the martial arts of the Carefree Sect. The elders of the Carefree Sect will not make things difficult for her and will even give her more benefits. Based on my understanding of the current situation of the Carefree Sect, the little girl's kowtow is too valuable. In the future, she will have a very high chance of inheriting the Carefree Sect's foundation and becoming the Heavenly Spirit Dove Palace and the Palace Lord.”
" What…" Qian Xue and Zhong Ling were both shocked. Zhong Ling paused in her actions and stared blankly at Zhao Yi. Qian Xue did the same.
"Little girl, what are you looking at? Hurry up and kowtow!" Seeing this, Zhao Yi reminded Zhong Ling playfully,""What's the big deal? If it weren't for Wu Yazi having a descendant, the little girl might have been able to obtain two to three hundred years of pure internal strength!”
" Two to three hundred years of pure inner energy…" Qian Xue was speechless. She looked at Zhao Yi with resentment and said unhappily,""Zhao Yi, you're doing this on purpose! Are you wary of me and afraid that I'll become your enemy, so you don't want me to obtain the Carefree Sect's inheritance? Is that so?”
Qian Xue felt very uncomfortable and suffocated. Zhong Ling noticed that the atmosphere was not right and immediately kowtowed. She was more than happy to receive any other benefits. She was even more touched by Zhao Yi's arrangements.
Seeing this, Zhao Yi sighed." It's not that I didn't give you a chance. If you're willing to kowtow, I won't stop you. As for whether you'll leak the Carefree Sect's martial arts to your family in the future, that's a matter for the future. I, Zhao Yi, am not to be trifled with. I've never been afraid of any challenge.”
"As expected." Hearing this, Qian Xue was secretly hurt. Zhao Yi did not lie to her, and she felt much better. She also understood Zhao Yi's difficulties. Zhao Yi had risked his life to give her and Zhong Ling the same chance to choose. She was the one who was proud and unwilling to kowtow a thousand times. This could not be blamed on Zhao Yi.
Of course! She could have waited for Zhong Ling to finish her kowtow before continuing, but Qian Xue could not bring herself to do so. She did not want Zhao Yi to look down on her, so she fell silent and waited quietly. Her desire to seek treasures and learn martial arts had also faded, and it was covered by complicated emotions.
At this moment, Zhong Ling had already kowtowed a thousand times. The thin layer of cattail grass on the surface of the small praying mat had already cracked, revealing something underneath. She didn't pay any attention to it and still kowtowed a thousand times respectfully. Then, she quickly took it out and thought,"What could it be? Could it be a martial arts secret manual? Did big brother already know that there was something inside, so he asked me to kowtow a thousand times? Big brother is really too good to me.”
"I got it. Big brother, I found it. Look, look over there!”Zhong Ling only felt that her hand was soft and smooth. Inside was a silk bag. When she touched the silk bag, Zhong Ling immediately cheered and took out the silk bag, presenting it to Zhao Yi.
