In the morning, the Wei residence was filled with a joyous atmosphere.
Inside and outside the mansion, lanterns and decorations were everywhere, creating a festive atmosphere.
Even the servants and maids had smiles on their faces.
Today is the auspicious day for the young master to become an apprentice. The madam and the others will surely receive a lot of reward money. They already received a batch this morning, so how could they not be happy?
At this time, the guests had not yet arrived, and Ma Gu was dressed in fine clothes, waiting in the Youzhu Courtyard.
"Master Ma, relax. Today is a great day for you to formally accept the young master as your disciple. You should be happy."
Seeing that Maguna seemed a little restless, Lu Qing comforted him.
"That's true, but I'm still a little apprehensive," Magu said with a wry smile.
"Anyway, no one dares to cause trouble here in the Wei residence, and the young master genuinely wants to become your disciple, so just relax and follow the procedures," Lu Qing said with a smile. "You survived such a dangerous situation that day, are you afraid of this small apprenticeship ceremony?"
With this reassurance, Magu's heart finally calmed down a lot.
Originally, according to the Wei family's wishes, the apprenticeship ceremony should have been held at the Ma family's residence, with Wei Xinghe bringing Wei Zian to become his apprentice.
But the Ma family panicked immediately upon hearing this and hurriedly declined.
Just kidding. What kind of status does the Wei family have in the county? How could they dare to make Wei Xinghe, the head of the family, adopt such a low posture?
Moreover, they are just a small family in the county town, so how could they possibly control the various forces that come to offer their congratulations?
Ultimately, after discussing it with the head steward, they decided that it would be better to hold the apprenticeship ceremony at the Wei residence.
At least, no one dared to cause trouble at the Wei residence.
"Lord Magus, Young Master Lu, the Chief Steward says that the auspicious time is approaching and has sent me to invite you over."
At this moment, a servant came and respectfully informed them.
"Brother Lu Qing, let's go over there."
"Okay." Lu Qing nodded, then called into the house, "Xiao Yan, Xiao Li, get ready to go."
"Brother, can we go out and see what's going on?"
Upon hearing this, the two little ones ran out of the house.
They had heard the commotion outside early in the morning and were all very curious.
"Yes, let's go out for a big meal!"
Lu Qing picked up Xiao Yan and walked out with Ma Gu.
Xiao Li jumped onto his shoulder, looking out with anticipation.
As for the old doctor, he will not participate in this apprenticeship ceremony, and even Wei Shanhe will not attend.
If they, as experts at the Innate Realm, were to appear, everyone at the banquet would likely feel extremely uncomfortable.
Halfway there, Magu, led by his servants, went to the main house to make preparations.
Lu Qing then led Xiao Yan and Xiao Li towards the front yard.
Upon arriving at the front yard, it was already quite lively, with many guests already present.
He activated his supernatural abilities and took a look around. He discovered that most of the people who came were the heads of various families and forces in the city, which was quite a show of respect for the Wei family.
Xiaoyan and Xiaoli stared wide-eyed at everything, finding everything new and exciting.
Lu Qing's arrival also brought about some changes.
Those family heads and leaders who were originally talking loudly immediately stopped talking when they saw Lu Qing and stared at him blankly.
"Patriarch Li, why are you silent..."
One of the martial artists at the same table laughed, followed the gaze of the Li family head, and then his words caught in his throat.
The other guests also saw Lu Qing at this moment.
As a result, the once noisy courtyard gradually quieted down.
Almost all the guests looked at Lu Qing with a sense of awe and dared not make any more noise.
This scene caught the attention of several disciples of the Qingyun Sword Pavilion who were not far away, and immediately aroused their interest.
"Young Master Lu, Young Lady Lu, you've arrived. The head of the family specifically instructed that your seats are here."
Chief Steward Wei, who was entertaining guests, saw Lu Qing coming and quickly led him to the most important table.
There were already several people sitting there.
One couple stood out; their cultivation level was low, and they sat there looking somewhat reserved.
"Thank you, Chief Steward."
Lu Qing didn't stand on ceremony and sat down with Xiao Yan, nodding to the others present.
"Let me introduce you, Young Master Lu. This is the head of the Ma family, and these two are Master Ma Gu's parents."
Chief Steward Wei knew that Lu Qing knew very little about the affairs of the county town, so he introduced him to Lu Qing.
Lu Qing suddenly realized that he was wondering why the couple, who didn't seem like important people, were sitting in the head seats. It turned out they were Ma Gu's parents.
"Hello, Uncle and Aunt, hello, Master Ma. My name is Lu Qing, and I am a friend of Master Ma. You can just call me A Qing," Lu Qing said with a smile.
"No, no, Young Master Lu, you're making us feel too embarrassed," the Ma family head hurriedly replied.
Just kidding, he personally witnessed Lu Qing's battle with that martial arts master that day.
Faced with such a top-tier martial artist, how could he dare to address him so presumptuously?
Magu's parents looked even more reserved.
They are honest, but not stupid.
The changes caused by Lu Qing's entry, the personal introduction by Chief Steward Wei, and the current attitude of the family head.
How could anyone not know that this young man must be some extraordinary figure?
I just don't know when my son got to know such an important person.
To be honest, even now, Magu's parents still have some doubts, wondering if they are dreaming.
Although they are usually proud of their son.
After all, they came from a collateral branch, yet they were able to cultivate to the Bone and Tendon Realm and become an important pillar of the clan. Such an achievement was enough to make them proud.
However, the idea of his son taking the young master of the Wei family as his disciple was simply too absurd.
Even though they had known the news for several days and were now sitting in the Wei residence, they still felt somewhat dizzy.
Seeing the head of the Ma family chatting with Lu Qing in a somewhat obsequious manner, the guests at the other tables not only did not look down on them, but were instead filled with envy and jealousy.
With a top-tier martial artist like Lu Qing, who also has an even more mysterious and powerful master at the Innate Realm, who wouldn't want to curry favor with him?
The Ma family has really struck it lucky. Not only is Ma Gu going to become the master of the Wei family's young master, but now they've also managed to get on good terms with Lu Qing. It seems they're really on the verge of rising to prominence.
However, despite their jealousy, none of the guests dared to show the slightest dissatisfaction.
Even with Lu Qing around, everyone lowered their voices and stopped talking as loudly as before.
This further piqued the interest of the Qingyun Sword Pavilion disciples.
"Brother Li, who is that young man? He has such a great presence, as if all the guests here are in awe of him?"
One of the Qingyun Sword Pavilion disciples smiled and asked a young man at the same table.
At their table, most of the people were of similar age.
Most of them are heads of various families who bring their more outstanding younger generations to broaden their horizons.
The young man who was asked looked completely bewildered: "I don't know either. This young man is a complete stranger; we've never seen him before."
