"I am not a ghost or goblin, I am a True Cultivator." She said once more.
True Cultivator?
The little boy knew there were many True Cultivators in this city, those adults were revered figures.
Those people were honored as Immortal Masters.
What is an Immortal Master doing here?
"Do you want to be my disciple?" Gu Shengyin asked bluntly.
Disciple? A True Cultivator wants to take him as a disciple?
The little boy was delighted for a second, then imdiately reacted: "I... I’m just a beggar child, there are many powerful young masters and misses in the city..."
"Those useless people, how can they compare to you?" Gu Shengyin’s tone was indifferent, as if stating an obvious fact.
"Compared to your talent, those people are re ants."
The little boy was sowhat confused.
In his mory, the expression he received most from others was disgust and disdain, and the words he heard most were "little beggar" and "ugly monster."
No one had ever said he was better than others.
"Then, can I be as powerful as those Immortal Masters in the future?" He tried hard to look around, hoping to see the mysterious Immortal Master.
Gu Shengyin was amused by his ambition: "If you’re talking about the True Cultivators in this city, the most powerful is no more than Late Foundation Establishnt Stage; my disciple, how could that be your only level?"
"With a flick of your finger, you will be able to turn them to dust."
The little boy was still sowhat wary.
He was only eight years old, but had already experienced many events.
He didn’t believe soone would co to him without expecting anything in return.
Gu Shengyin saw his expression and nodded inwardly: Being wary is good.
Although she didn’t want to raise another ungrateful child like Qiao Qiao, she also didn’t want to raise soone naive and clueless.
"I can make an oath with you: I take you as my disciple, devote myself to teaching you the Cultivation Technique, and after you succeed, you’ll find materials for to reshape my flesh. Neither party shall betray, if the oath is broken, heavenly punishnt will be upon us with no chance of reincarnation."
Words alone can never surpass a vow bound by the Heavenly Dao.
The little boy was clever, he understood this might be the chance to change his life.
Even if soone is deceiving him...
In his current state, what is there to deceive?
Imdiately, he knelt down, bowed three tis to the void: "Disciple pays respect to Master."
This was sothing he had heard from storytellers.
Gu Shengyin looked at him, reminiscing thousands of years ago when Fairy Jing Hong wanted to accept a disciple, countless bright young talents eagerly ca forth, purified themselves, offered prayers to heaven and earth, perford three cups, six rites...
Unexpectedly, her first disciple was accepted so unceremoniously.
Well, tis are different now.
Gu Shengyin accepted his salutation, sensing faintly in the void that a karmic connection seed to bind them.
This indicated that the Heavenly Dao acknowledged their relationship.
"What is your na?" she asked this question for the second ti.
The little boy hesitated for a mont, shook his head: "I... don’t have a na, others call little beggar."
A little beggar who couldn’t even ensure food and clothing, how could he have the mind to give himself a na?
Gu Shengyin thought for a mont: "Since you have paid respect as my disciple, I will na you. According to the generation order under my sect, you should have the character ’Yan,’ so you will be called Yansui."
"Would you be willing to share my surna?"
The little boy’s eyes lit up: "I am willing!"
"Good, then you will be called Gu Yansui."
