Speaking of which, Li Qingzhu has been coming to Hogwarts for a little more than two months, and his magic circuit has almost been formed, Li Qingzhu checked the system and found that the formation progress is already 99%, presumably the official success is only a matter of a few days.

Regarding the matter of accepting apprentices, Li Qingzhu personally found Dumbledore and told him about it, and the old bee smiled very slyly.

Li Qingzhu still remembers the conversation with the old bee that day.

"Oh, what an unexpected decision, Professor Li, in fact many professors are not optimistic about Mr. Longbottom, do you see any merit in him?"

Dumbledore lifted his small glasses and looked at Li Qingzhu with an inquiring expression.

Li Qingzhu nodded without hesitation and said, "Yes, Professor Dumbledore, I think talent is indeed very important, but the character of students is a more important thing, Neville is more kind than most people, I am very optimistic about him." ”

After listening to Li Qingzhu's reasoning, Dumbledore also nodded in agreement and said, "Oh, yes, I will never doubt Mr. Longbottom's kindness, he inherited the integrity of his parents, which I have always been very pleased with. ”

"Nowadays, many wizards pay more and more attention to the issue of talent, but they have forgotten the fundamentals of being a wizard, I am very glad that Professor Li can see this, in a sense, you are better than me."

Dumbledore looked rather melancholy at the moment, looking blankly at the wall behind Li Qingzhu, as if he was remembering something.

Li Qingzhu was not modest, he said seriously: "The word excellent is always relatively comparative. Professor Dumbledore, in any other way, I think you are excellent. ”

Dumbledore laughed. nodded, then changed the subject and said, "Okay, then I want to ask one more question as well." Do you have to do this apprenticeship ceremony? ”

Li Qingzhu nodded firmly: "That's right, I have already said that Dongfang attaches great importance to accepting apprentices, and I also want to establish a little confidence in Neville through this ceremony." He can't be so submissive all his life, he has to learn to be strong. ”

"That's a good thing, Professor Lee. Hogwarts has always been known as a school of witchcraft and wizardry that nurtures the character of its students. I think your approach is in line with the purpose of our school, so where would you like to hold this ceremony? ”

Dumbledore crossed his hands on the desk and looked at Li Qingzhu with a refined expression. Asked when and where he would hold the ceremony.

"If you can. I'm hoping to do it in two days, on Friday this week, in the lobby, what do you think? ”

Dumbledore thought for a moment, then replied with a smile, "It should be fine, then, do you need some other arrangements?" ”

Li Qingzhu shook his head and said, "We pay attention to the process and don't care too much about the decoration. And, if there are specific requirements. I'll ask Professor Flitwick for help, and the professors just have to give a testimony. ”

"Oh, well, I thought I could personally participate in an oriental apprenticeship ceremony, that would be a shame."

Dumbledore looked at Li Qingzhu with a regretful expression, and that resentful look made Li Qingzhu goosebumps rise several times, could this damn old bee start studying philosophy recently?

Thinking of this, Li Qingzhu couldn't help but shudder, and he quickly found an excuse and slipped away from the principal's office.

The news about Li Qingzhu's intention to accept apprentices has also become the focus of all students in recent days, they only know that there is such a thing in Lu Dao, but it is unknown who he wants to accept as an apprentice, and it has become the most popular topic now.

Na Wei strictly abides by the agreement with Li Qingzhu, and has never told anyone about it until now, this honest boy is the easiest to be trusted when he panics, because everyone will not believe that he is lying.

With the full cooperation of Li Qingzhu and Flitwick, they decorated the hall of this Hogwarts castle with an oriental charm, and Li Qingzhu also had to sigh that in this world, magic is really a convenient thing, and such a large venue can be arranged in two days, if it is in the Muggle world, this is definitely impossible.

On the day of the apprenticeship ceremony, all the Hogwarts students came to the hall to take their seats, and on this day, all the professors suspended classes for Li Qingzhu for a day, and most of the teachers still expressed understanding, of course, Professor Snape must be full of resentment towards Li Qingzhu.

"This is the Oriental rattan chair, which I have seen when I traveled before, and it is very comfortable to sit on."

Dumbledore pointed to his seat as if he were offering a treasure and introduced it to the professors around him, to show that he was very knowledgeable, and of course most professors chose to just listen to it, although they were also curious about these oriental things.

"Hehe, these are what Professor Li told me, and most of the utensils are still purchased in Diagon Alley."

Flitwick was also explaining to the professors, and the other professors were listening attentively, at least Professor Flitwick's words sounded more practical.

Professor Snape looked at the teacup in front of him with a serious expression, this was the first time he had seen this oriental-style teacup, so he was studying it.

And Li Qingzhu stood on the rostrum in a formal suit, looking particularly serious and serious.

"Thank you professors and students for coming, I feel honored to know that a Hogwarts student will be my apprentice today."

Li Qingzhu said loudly, his voice could fill the entire hall without special magic amplification.

"Holding this ceremony is not to say how good I am personally or how honored it is to be my apprentice, but simply because in the East, we value this ceremony more, because it is tantamount to officially announcing that I will establish an inseparable relationship with my apprentice in the future."

"I will treat and educate him as if he were my child, and I look forward to his growth and achievements, and one day, he will surpass me, and that is my greatest wish for him."

Li Qingzhu's words resonated with the professors present, and most of them shared the idea that the students they taught could become amazing wizards.

"So now, Neville. Longbottom, please come up. ”

After Li Qingzhu finished speaking, ignoring the noise of the students present, he turned around and walked straight to a king-size rattan chair and sat down, there was a coffee table beside him, and there was a cup of tea on the coffee table, which was prepared for Neville.

Harry and the others all turned their heads to look at Neville in surprise, they didn't expect that the apprentice Li Qingzhu was going to take would actually be Neville, who in their eyes was just a little tearbag and slug.

Neville seemed to be full of courage at this moment, and he walked onto the rostrum in front of everyone in the four major academies and came to stand in front of Li Qingzhu.

"Neville, after becoming my disciple, you will uphold the purpose of punishing evil and promoting good, and you will not bully others or bully the weak, can you do it?"

Li Qingzhu said to Neville solemnly, and Neville also nodded seriously and replied, "I can do it!" ”

"After becoming my disciple, I will be stricter with you, and you will be tested more than now, can you persevere?"

"Yes!"

"After becoming my disciple, you will become my spokesperson, no matter where you go, you will carry my reputation, can you bear it?"

"Yes!"

Li Qingzhu asked a few questions in a row, and Neville answered them one by one, and all the professors and students looked at this oriental apprenticeship ceremony seriously, without even making a sound.

Li Qingzhu nodded with satisfaction, and then said to Neville: "Then, pick up the tea over there, hand it to me, kneel down and kowtow three times in front of me, you will officially become my disciple, and I will also teach you all my martial arts." ”

Neville looked very excited, he picked up the apprenticeship tea as he said, and respectfully handed it to Li Qingzhu.

After Li Qingzhu took it, Neville knelt on his knees and kowtowed deeply to Li Qingzhu three times.

After Li Qingzhu took a sip of tea, he put the teacup on the coffee table, then got up and helped Neville up, and said loudly to everyone: "From now on, Neville. Longbottom is my disciple of Li Qingzhu!! (To be continued......)
