At dawn, Xu Ning, Zhao Zhen, Yuan Li, and Ji Ya arrived one after another at Lingxiao Courtyard. They had known since last night why their master had summoned them today: they were going to meet their Sixth Junior Brother.
Zhao Zhen and the others were full of curiosity about Hu Yan, and rather excited, too. At last, there was a junior brother they could bully.
Ahem, look after!
Li Qingqiu had arrived early as well. Times had changed, and so had the circumstances. Taking on a disciple really did require proper ceremony. It represented not only him, but also the solemn dignity of Qingxiao Sect.
Becoming Li Qingqiu's disciple meant taking on a share of the sect's responsibilities.
Whenever the sect encountered a major task, Xu Ning was the first person they thought of.
Zhao Zhen was the Scripture Pavilion's greatest contributor.
Yuan Li's Body Cultivation Path had already influenced half the disciples.
Ji Ya had also begun operating within Guzhou over the past two years, dealing with problems ordinary disciples couldn't handle.
In the future, Li Qingqiu would assign them responsibilities and define their authority.
Li Dongyue, Li Sijin, and Qingxiao True Person were also in the courtyard. They were quite interested in Li Qingqiu's new disciple.
"Before we knew it, Zhao Zhen and Yuan Li are already eighteen. Time really flies," Li Sijin said with a sigh.
Zhao Zhen and Yuan Li exchanged a glance, both noticing how much taller the other had grown.
Ji Ya, now twenty-five, was much more composed. A smile hung on his face. Though he rarely spoke, as his Origin Energy grew stronger, he could no longer conceal his presence. Sitting there, he was like a tranquil lion.
Li Dongyue looked at Li Sijin and smiled. "You've grown up, too."
