Chapter 15: Registered Disciple

The banquet ended at midnight, which was in the early morning.

As the protagonist of this banquet, Zhang Fulong drank a lot of wine, and each minister took turns to toast him. If it were not for his cultivation, Zhang Fulong would have collapsed long ago.

"It's getting late. Why don't you, sir, rest in the palace for the night?"

After the banquet was over and dispersed, the emperor wanted Zhang Fulong to rest in the palace for a night. It was quite a long journey from the imperial city to Xihang Street.

The emperor's proposal was decisively rejected by Zhang Fulong. An outsider was allowed to stay overnight in the palace, and he was also a man. It was said that he had a bad reputation.

He also refused to be sent off by others. After leaving the imperial city, Zhang Fulong walked towards the westbound street and returned home in a few minutes.

After tonight, anyone with dignity in Beijing will know Zhang Fulong from Fulong Temple.

Simply stop hiding it and open it up directly.

When the imperial guards saw this scene, they were all shocked and ran into the palace to report the situation to the emperor.

When he learned that Zhang Fulong was flying back, the emperor was just surprised and told them not to make any noise, and he didn't explain anything else.

After drinking a lot of wine at yesterday's banquet and coming back late, Zhang Fulong was lazy today. When he woke up, he sensed that there were many people gathered outside the courtyard door.

Zhang Fulong got up and opened the courtyard door. It turned out that nearby residents gathered in front of his courtyard door to watch and chat.

Seeing Zhang Fulong opening the courtyard door, these people glanced at Zhang Fulong, and then all ran away, leaving Zhang Fulong confused as to what these people were doing around here.

Only a few children did not run away, maybe because they were brave or because they were curious.

"Brother, are you a high official or a prince?" A little boy walked up to Zhang Fulong and asked curiously.

He called Zhang Fulong his eldest brother because Zhang Fulong was young and good-looking. Little did they know that Zhang Fulong was already thirty years old, probably older than their parents.

"Why do you ask that?" Zhang Fulong was also curious, how could he become a high official or a prince? Would any high official or prince live here?

Come to think of it, no.

"My parents said that the person who can sit on the carriage like yesterday is either a high official or a prince. Big brother, are you a high official or a prince?"

The little boy looked innocent.

Only then did Zhang Fulong realize that they all regarded him as an official or a prince. No wonder they were so scared when they saw him.

Just as he was about to answer the little boy's question, he saw a woman hurriedly came over, hugged the little boy and left in a hurry.

Zhang Fulong shook his head helplessly, it was all the fault of the Imperial Master, and he insisted on taking the entire carriage. Also, you can just forget about it, why do you have to do it so high and mighty that it makes it impossible for him to communicate with the people around him?

This takes away a lot of fun.

Two days later, the emperor had people copy it, and the Imperial Preceptor personally sent the book back. At the same time, the Imperial Preceptor told Zhang Fulong that the emperor ordered the rebuilding of Fulong Temple at the meeting yesterday. The Ministry of Industry was already making preparations and would recruit civilians to Qingzhou soon. Repair.

Pingding Mountain in Qingzhou is the former site of Fulong Temple.

Zhang Fulong took back the book, thanked the emperor again, and then chatted with the Imperial Preceptor for a few words before the Imperial Preceptor left.

Shortly after the Imperial Master left, a wealthy middle-aged man led an eleven or twelve-year-old boy to see Zhang Fulong.

The middle-aged man is Liu Decai, a wealthy businessman, and the boy is his son, named Liu Shuo.

Liu Decai came to see Zhang Fulong because he wanted Zhang Fulong to accept Liu Shuo.

"Master Immortal, if you accept Quan Zi as your disciple, I am willing to donate two hundred thousand taels of silver."

Liu Decai begged Zhang Fulong, thinking that he knew Zhang Fulong's identity.

I didn't expect Liu Decai to be so generous, asking for two hundred thousand taels of silver. This shows that Liu Decai is not a simple person.

Two hundred thousand taels of silver is enough to rebuild Fulong Temple.

Liu Decai believes that as long as there is enough 'fate', nothing is impossible.

Zhang Fulong did not agree immediately, but looked at the young man.

The young man was dressed gorgeously, had a round face, and was elegant in manners. He only spoke little and did not look like someone who had been rejected by his parents.

But there must be a reason why Liu Decai would rather pay so much money than let the young man give it away.

Zhang Fulong asked: "Can you tell me about his situation?"

Liu Decai looked troubled, but he also said: "To be honest with the immortal master, Liu Shuo was born from my concubine."

"Then what."

"My biological mother was originally from a brothel." Liu Decai explained, and this was probably his unspeakable secret.

Zhang Fulong lamented that rich people only spend money when they have fun.

"Even so, you don't have to go to such trouble."

Zhang Fulong knew that Liu Decai still didn't tell the truth.

Liu Decai knew that he could not hide it from Zhang Fulong, so he had to tell the situation.

Liu Decai's wife cannot have children, that's one thing. Secondly, the head wife’s natal family is quite powerful and has a high status in the court.

Therefore, Liu Decai was afraid of the power of his wife's natal family, and never dared to think of taking a concubine until an encounter.

When Liu Shuo's biological mother was pregnant, Liu Decai dared to tell his wife about the matter.

Liu Decai's wife did not object, and Liu Shuo was born smoothly.

However, Liu Decai's wife has always had an indifferent attitude towards Liu Shuo.

Even if he is not happy, he has not done anything unfavorable to Liu Shuo on weekdays. He should still give Liu Shuo the treatment that a concubine deserves, and will not deliberately deduct living expenses.

Liu Decai was very happy that his wife could do this, and he often bought her some nice things to make her happy.

Until recently, his wife proposed to him to adopt a child from a collateral line.

It was also from this time that Liu Decai knew that Liu Shuo was no longer suitable to stay in this home and had to send him away.

During this period, Liu Decai has been thinking about how to arrange Liu Shuo. Just yesterday, Liu Decai learned that an immortal was born in Fulong Temple, and that this immortal was on his way to Beijing at this time.

If Immortal Master Fulong Guan could accept Liu Shuo, it would be the best place for Liu Shuo to settle down, so Liu Decai brought Liu Shuo to visit him.

Liu Decai was the second person besides the imperial master to come to his residence.

After listening to Liu Decai's explanation of the causes and consequences, Zhang Fulong said: "Pindao can accept him as a registered disciple."

"Only a registered disciple?" Liu Decai frowned slightly. It took two hundred thousand taels of silver to exchange for the position of a registered disciple. To be honest, it was a bit of a loss.

"This son has no connection with Fulong Temple. As for the reason, the secret must not be revealed. I am sorry that I cannot tell you.

Pindao accepted him as a registered disciple today just to build a good relationship. Pindao would not accept the 200,000 taels donated by Mr. Liu. "

Zhang Fulong explained the reason to Liu Decai. Zhang Fulong detected a hint of secret from Liu Shuo, and it was not far before the time when heaven and earth changed.

Liu Shuo had his mission, and he was not committed to Fulong Temple, so Zhang Fulong accepted Liu Shuo as a registered disciple.

What is a registered disciple? A registered disciple means that one can leave the master at any time.

So, does Liu Shuo have great potential in the future?

Liu Decai felt relieved when he thought of this, and asked Zhang Fulong to accept Liu Shuo as his registered disciple.
