The next morning.
Hongxing Military Control Station.
Director Qu's office.
“You want to take a leave for half a month?” Qu Lin looked at Lu De Min, her beautiful face showing surprise.
“Yes! I hope Director Qu will approve it!” Lu De Min nodded.
Qu Lin pondered for a moment and said, “Can you tell me the reason?”
Lu De Min didn't want to lie, but he felt that the reason for taking leave to practice martial arts was a bit far-fetched, so he hesitated.
Qu Lin nodded: “Since you don't want to say it! I won't force you. It's just that the Military Control Station is not very busy right now, so I'll give you half a month off. However, you must remember to come back to work after the holiday!”
Her tone seemed to be heavier at the end.
This made Lu De Min feel that Director Qu thought highly of him and cared about him. His heart warmed: “I will definitely come back to work. I'm still going to drive for you, Director Qu!”
“That's good! You're not in vain, I value you so much!” Qu Lin couldn't help but laugh after hearing this, then paused and continued: “Speaking of driving. If you have time, you can take your driver's license during this half-month! When you come back, you can drive for me!”
In this era, getting a driver's license was not as troublesome as it was in later generations. As long as you passed the technical exam, you could get a license. Lu De Min felt that he should be able to find time to get his driver's license if it didn't take too long, so he nodded and said: “I will try my best to get my driver's license!”
“Okay! Good! Wait a moment, I'll approve your leave now!” Qu Lin finished speaking, then took out a leave form from the drawer with her slender fingers and took up a pen to write.
“Done!”
“Thank you, Director Qu!”
……
More than ten minutes later.
Lu De Min left Hongxing Military Control Station and arrived at Master Sun's home in Sanjiaokou Hutong.
Sun De Xiao asked as soon as he saw Lu De Min: “How is it? Did you get the leave?”
Lu De Min nodded: “I got it. Half a month!”
“Enough!” Sun De Xiao was very happy, “Have you had breakfast?”
“Not yet!”
“Neither have I. Let's eat together. We'll have energy to train after we're full!”
Lu De Min's eyes lit up when Sun De Xiao brought out the breakfast.
There was not only a plate of white steamed buns, salted vegetables, and white porridge, but also chicken breast, and hot rice.
“Master, are we eating so well?”
“Cultivation consumes a lot of physical energy, nutrition must be enough! Every day from now on, we'll eat like this!”
“Master! I don't have that much money!”
“Don't worry, Master has it!”
“Master, you're so kind!” Lu De Min was finally relieved. He was afraid that it would be like in later generations where he had to pay for learning martial arts. This era was good. The master taught martial arts and provided meals.
After eating and drinking.
The official apprenticeship ceremony began.
Lu De Min offered a cup of tea with both hands:
“Master, please have some tea!”
“Good, good, good! Good disciple!”
Sun De Xiao happily took the tea and drank it down in one gulp.
Then he put down the cup and took out a crystal-clear jade ruyi from his bosom. At a glance, you could tell it was not ordinary:
“De Min, this jade ruyi is said to be from the royal family of the Warring States period. It is my favorite possession. I got it by chance when I was young and have carried it with me ever since. Now I give it to you as an apprenticeship gift!”
“Master, it's too precious. And it's your beloved item, I can't accept it!”
Lu De Min knew that a jade ruyi from the Warring States period, especially a top-quality royal treasure, would be worth at least hundreds of millions in later generations.
“Silly child. Master has no partner, no children, only you, my disciple. Everything Master has, isn't it yours! Don't you think Master can take these things with him when he's gone? Take it, just take it, be good!”
Sun De Xiao picked up Lu De Min's hand and put the jade ruyi in his hand. He immediately felt a cool and smooth sensation, which was very comfortable.
Hearing his Master say this, Lu De Min had no choice but to accept it.
Only then did Sun De Xiao become happy.
At this time, the food in his stomach had also digested.
Sun De Xiao began to teach Lu De Min his life's work.
The first lesson of entry, internal skill.
The second lesson of entry, stance practice.
……
From this day forward, Lu De Min came to his Master's house early every day to practice.
Lu De Min was originally a martial arts prodigy with extraordinary talent. With the help of the system, his progress in cultivation was like a rocket, extremely astounding.
Sun De Xiao's surprise was refreshed again and again. He was overjoyed.
Besides cultivating, Lu De Min also took the time to get his driver's license.
