"Lin Yu, let me ask you one more time. Are you willing to take me as your master?!"
Elder Li spoke each word with deliberate emphasis. His expression was utterly serious now, his earlier smile gone. He stared fixedly at Lin Yu, waiting for his decision.
Lin Yu froze for a moment. What was this about? Hadn't they already agreed on it before?
"Something's not right!"
Lin Yu recalled what Elder Li had said when introducing the Saber Emperor—the first student in the true sense. A thought surfaced in his mind. Could it be that the teacher from before had merely been a teacher in the ordinary sense, while this was a formal apprenticeship...?
Lin Yu looked steadily at Elder Li. Although Elder Li's expression was stern, Lin Yu could clearly sense the faint anticipation in his eyes.
After a while, a smile appeared on Lin Yu's face as he spoke softly.
"Teacher, please guide me from now on."
"HAHAHAHA!! Good!!!"
Elder Li shouted, laughing with pure delight.
"From now on, you are my final disciple. Including you, I have only accepted three true students in my life. Your eldest senior brother is the Saber Emperor, Huangfu Long. Your senior sister is Ji Xuejun. You are the third. You already know Xiao Jun. I'll introduce your senior brother to you when the time comes!"
Elder Li said cheerfully. At first, he had only intended to guide Lin Yu and had not planned to truly accept a student. But after listening to Ji Xuejun describe Lin Yu's performance in the secret realm last night, Lin Yu's talent and character had greatly impressed him. He had a feeling that as long as he taught Lin Yu Heaven-Defying Break, Lin Yu's future achievements would definitely surpass those of his proud eldest disciple.
