Becoming a core disciple

When Han Cai heard about the prizes, he was happy that he would receive 1000 spirit stones but what about the techniques? Is the sect planning to exchange spirit stones for techniques?

Sect master appeared to understand Han Cai's thoughts. He Spoke again before Han Cai would respond, "As for the reward of techniques, You are truly a prodigy among your peers to have achieved such mastery at such a young age. Your potential is undeniable, and I would like to offer you the opportunity to become this old man's disciple. As this old man's disciple, you will be the 6th core disciple of the sect. You can enter the inner core library of the sect, where you can select cultivation and skill techniques freely as you like. For guidance related to cultivation, you can directly come to this old man for any help."

Inner sect elders coughed. They were still considering pulling Han Cai into their halls, and the sect master directly asked Han Cai to be his disciple. All their strategies were for naught. None of them could directly speak up against the sect master except the elder of the dark hall, who was not present. They could only watch helplessly, trying to take Han Cai away. They respected the sect master a lot, not just because of his cultivation but also because the sect master was known for his kind and gentle personality.

During the last few years, Han Cai's imagination sometimes ran wild when he would cultivate alone in quarters. In one of his fantasies, he imagined when he accepted a master, It would be some cold beauty fairy with unlimited cultivation who would fall in love with him later.

But so far, whatever he planned in this world, nothing worked out as he thought it would, but he made the best of every situation as much as possible, so he was not disappointed. The offer from the sect master was excellent, and he was sure He would receive the best treatment in the sect as the sect master's disciple. There was no reason for Han Cai to refuse.

Elder Zhou, standing beside han cai, was pleased beyond control. If Han Cai becomes the sect master's disciple, he will be able to grab onto the fattest thigh in the sect.

Elder Ji near Han Cai almost got his eyes popped out when the sect master offered Han Cai to become his disciple.

Han Cai bowed and spoke, "I am deeply honored and grateful for your offer to become your disciple. I accept wholeheartedly and pledge to follow your guidance and teachings to the best of my abilities."

Hearing Han Cai's response, the Sect master's face twitched a little. He was not prepared to see Han Cai, a 12-year-old child responding so formally. Still, he laughed and nodded. He was delighted to acquire such a young and talented disciple for himself.

The Sect master spoke, "Come stand beside me. From now on, you are my second personal disciple."

Han Cai nodded, walked towards the sect master, and stood behind him.

When Han Cai stood behind the sect master, Elder Zhou, who was standing beside Han Cai all the time and watched Han Cai walk away, he couldn't let go of such a good opportunity.

He knew he would never get an audience with the sect master like this again. He immediately bowed and spoke, "On behalf of the Zhou faction and Zhou family, I would like to express our gratitude to the Sect master for accepting Han Cai as your personal disciple. Your guidance and teachings will undoubtedly help Han Cai to reach new heights in his cultivation, and we are honored to have the distinguished sect master take our zhou family disciple under his wing."

Elder Ji, who was standing nearby, nearly leapt in surprise. He had planned to create a scene once Han Cai received his award and returned to the outer sect, in an effort to bring Han Cai back before an inner sect elder took him away. However, things had taken an unexpected turn as the sect master had accepted Han Cai as his own disciple. This presented a new challenge for Elder Ji, if he did not act, the sect master would assume that Han Cai belonged to the Zhou faction within the outer sect and would therefore favor the Zhou faction. Elder Ji could not allow this to happen, as a favor from the sect master was not something he would let slip by. Despite his repeated losses to the Zhou faction, he could not let this opportunity slip away..

Elder Ji determined it was now or never. "I would like to express my gratitude to you, Sect Master, for accepting Han Cai as your personal disciple. It is a true testament to the hard work and dedication the Han Cai and Ji faction put in over the past year and a half. I would also like to address the inappropriate behavior of the elder from the Zhou faction, who seems to have forgotten that Han Cai is not only a member of the Ji faction but also a member of the Ji family. Elder hong brought him from cloud mountain city to my faction, and We promised his father to take care of him. Calling him from the Zhou faction is inappropriate and disrespectful. I thank you, Sect master, for recognizing Han Cai's potential and providing him with the guidance he needs to reach even greater heights. "
