As soon as he said this, Shi Ah's expression changed slightly.
His master, Wang Yue, was known as the Sword Saint and was invincible in the world. However, he was an official fan.
It was just that his background was low and he was not valued by others at all.
After so many years, he was still just a small fry of the Tiger Legion.
Just like that, two years ago, Wang Yue rejected Chen Xiao's offer without hesitation and insisted on opening a martial arts club in the capital to gain the recognition of high-ranking officials and nobles.
Wang Yue had indeed done it.
Even Emperor Ling of Han, Liu Hong, admired his swordsmanship. In Luoyang, there were even people who called him Emperor Teacher.
However, he had never been promoted.
" Young Master, I heard that Master's martial arts club is doing very well. There are many people who come to learn the sword, but he is bent on making friends with the rich and powerful. His expenses are also very high. In the past two years, the martial arts club has actually been unable to make ends meet..."
Shi Ah hesitated for a moment, but still looked at Chen Xiao and pleaded for Wang Yue.""Can you give me some time to pay my debt to Young Master?”
Opening a dojo in Luoyang was not a small sum.
"Hahaha…"
Chen Xiao saw through Shi Ah's thoughts and immediately laughed.""It's just a small sum of money, what's there to return? Your master allowed you to come to the Zhen family and teach me the guard sword technique. This favor is worth a few dojos…I'm not asking you to ask for money!”
Shi Ah was startled.”
"Back then, your master rejected me, saying that he had to serve the imperial court with his martial arts and could not work for a merchant family.”
Chen Xiao put away her smile, her gaze deep and calm.""Now that he has been in Luoyang for two years, his thoughts should have changed, right? Go and ask him if the imperial court is willing to put him in an important position and if he is willing to serve me, the new Overseer of Youzhou!”
"If he wants to come, I'll make him a Wuhuan Guard Lieutenant in less than three years!”
Shi Ah was overjoyed.
Then, he was shocked.
The Wuhuan Guard Lieutenant was an official position with a rank of two thousand stones.
With Master's personality, he was arrogant two years ago and wanted to make a name for himself in Luoyang. He might not have taken a fancy to him.
But now, to be able to become such a high official, wouldn't he be ecstatic?
And then bow down?
"In order to subdue Master, could it be that Young Master predicted this scene two years ago?”
With this thought in mind, Shi Ah bowed.
For some reason, he did not dare to look into Chen Xiao's eyes anymore.
"We will obey Young Master's orders!"
……
After leaving the Zhen family's courtyard, Shi Ah didn't ride his horse and hid in the streets of Luoyang.
Soon, they arrived at Wang Yue's dojo.
At this moment, Sword Saint Wang Yue was frowning and sighing in the dojo.
Because there were no important figures who came to learn the sword today, he did not even teach those students.
Instead, he only let a few disciples do it for him.
"Master, when will you change your greedy personality…"
Shi Ah was speechless.
It was true that his master was a peerless grandmaster, and his strength was also the best in the world. However, he always wanted to cling to the rich and powerful and soar to the sky. He actually did not care about the basic affairs of the dojo at all!
How could this be?
If you don't take a step, you can't reach a thousand miles!
He always wanted to eat a fat man, but the final result was to waste time and achieve nothing!
In fact, with Wang Yue's strength, it was not difficult for him to gain the recognition of a certain noble. Even Emperor Han Ling, Liu Hong, admired his sword skills. However, regardless of whether it was Emperor Han Ling or the noble's recruitment, he rejected them all without exception!
Because those people only wanted him to be a bodyguard!
And this was not what he wanted!
Wang Yue wanted to be an official!
Be a high official!
But he was just a paladin of low birth!
In this era where reading was the most important thing, the officials of the imperial court looked down on even generals, so how could they be interested in a wandering warrior like him? Even if he had great strength!
Shi Ah saw this point more clearly than Wang Yue!
Therefore, he did not reject Chen Xiao's offer. At least, he could earn a salary that ordinary people would not even dare to imagine if he became the head of the Zhen family's guards!
" Judging from the current situation, although Young Master was born a merchant, he has great ambition and amazing means. He has become a feudal lord of Youzhou Province in just a few days after coming to the capital…"
"If I follow Young Master, I might not just be a guard in the future!”
With this thought in mind, Shi Ah went all the way to Wang Yue's room.
Wang Yue was staring blankly at a sword.
"Master!" Shi Ah bowed.
"Shi Ah? When did you return to the capital?"
Wang Yue did not turn around, his voice carrying a hint of dispiritedness.
"The Zhen family's caravan entered the capital in a high-profile manner, and all of Luoyang's citizens knew about it.”
Shi Ah was stunned, but then he felt relieved."Master must be obsessed with the way of the sword. The outside world is chaotic, but it can't shake Master's heart at all!”
Wang Yue, who had his back to him, blushed.
As if he was obsessed with Sword Dao.
Ever since he reached the Grandmaster Realm and chose to enter Luoyang to seek an official position, his Sword Dao realm had not advanced for many years.
"Ahem…"
Wang Yue coughed lightly to hide his embarrassment."What brings you to the capital? Could it be that Young Master Chen asked you to recruit me again?”
"If it's still this matter, you don't have to waste your breath…"
As he spoke, he waved his hand without hesitation and said,"Go back and tell Young Master Chen that I, Wang Yue, have the highest cultivation base in the world and am a peerless grandmaster. It is impossible for me to work for a mere merchant family.”
As soon as he finished speaking, there was a sudden silence behind him.
Wang Yue turned to look.
Shi Ah's expression was strange as he suddenly said,""Master, Childe Chen entered the capital a few days ago and spent a huge sum of money to buy an official position from His Majesty. Now, he is no longer a simple merchant, but a new Youzhou Overseer appointed by the Imperial Court.”
Wang Yue was stunned!
