Si Tieyou considered it again and again before deciding to take on a disciple.
For now, he had no idea whom this legendary true dragon was protecting. He only knew that since the true dragon had made the request, she must have her reasons. Perhaps it truly concerned the empire's future and fate. As an old general, he should do everything in his power.
"Cough, cough... Since that is so, this old man is willing to pour all the knowledge of his life into teaching this child."
Once words were spoken, even four horses could not chase them back. The matter was settled.
"Zhang Qi! Hurry over and bow to your master! Once you miss this village, there won't be this shop again. Move it, before this old fossil changes his mind!"
"..."
That one sentence nearly choked Si Tieyou to death. Zhang Qi could only kneel and kowtow.
"Your disciple Zhang Qi greets Master~"
The rites were complete, and karma was planted. Zhang Qi and old Si Tieyou's master-disciple ceremony had concluded. In that instant, Bai Yujun felt much lighter. That heavy pressure and tension were gone. After more than ten years, she had finally thrown off the burden!

Rumble—!
Bai Yujun instantly appeared outside the door, then walked to the lotus pond with a sweet smile on her face. Li Shusheng happened to be passing old Si's doorway with a book and folding fan in hand. The moment he saw that smile, he looked as though he had been struck by lightning, his soul leaving his body. With a splash, he toppled into the lotus pond.
The lightning from the clear sky was an omen brought about by Bai Yujun's cultivation beginning to rise.
A streak of rainbow
