Yu Daohén's face broke into a smile. "As long as you're willing, anything is a small matter."
Seeing his sect leader say this, Zhou Li was overwhelmed with gratitude and immediately moved to kneel.
Yu Daohén caught him and said, "This is no place to talk. Let's leave here first."
Zhou Li nodded, and the two quickly departed.
They arrived at a private room in a teahouse.
Yu Daohén sat in a chair, looking at Zhou Li before him, and asked again, "Disciple Zhou Li, hear my command. Are you willing to become my disciple?"
Zhou Li stood up straight, his expression solemn, and replied, "Disciple is willing."
Yu Daohén nodded with satisfaction and immediately declared, "Good, in the name of the sect leader of the Blazing Flame Sect, I accept you as my disciple today!"
*Thump!*
Zhou Li immediately knelt and then picked up the teacup beside him, offering it. "Please, Master, have some tea."
Yu Daohén took the teacup and drank the tea in one gulp.
From this moment on, Zhou Li was officially the last disciple of the Blazing Flame Sect's sect leader.
Yu Daohén put down the teacup and slowly said, "According to the rules, I should give you a gift, but I left in a hurry. I'll give it to you later."
Zhou Li nodded.
Yu Daohén continued, "I don't ask you to become an unparalleled master, only that you remain safe and sound."
"Disciple will strictly follow Master's teachings!"
As soon as Zhou Li finished speaking, he kowtowed again.
With this series of actions, the disciple-acceptance ceremony was concluded.
Yu Daohén helped Zhou Li up, a smile on his face. "Kid, from now on, you'll call me Master."
"Yes, Master," Zhou Li replied obediently.
Zhou Li's personality was very similar to Zhou Fu's, but he lacked Zhou Fu's ruthlessness.
However, this was for the best. He only wished for him to live a peaceful life.
Yu Daohén walked to the window, gazing at the peaceful sky, and sighed with emotion. "You kid should be my final disciple, so you must live well!"
Seeing his master's deeply emotional state, Zhou Li could tell his master seemed to have something on his mind.
Yu Daohén looked at the sky, his eyes filled with boundless emotion.
He hadn't expected this day to come so quickly.
The three bolts of lightning just now had already indicated that those guys in the sky had discovered him.
It was only a matter of time before they descended.
"Xiao Li, do you know my famous martial art in the jianghu?" Yu Daohén asked.
"I do," Zhou Li nodded repeatedly.
Who in the entire jianghu didn't know his master's famous martial art? He immediately said, "The Five Elements Technique, and the Flame Devouring Technique!"
Yu Daohén nodded with satisfaction and smiled. "Do you wish to learn these two techniques?"
"Yes!"
Zhou Li nodded excitedly, but then his expression fell. "Master, I heard my brother say that only those with extremely high talent can learn the Five Elements Technique. Can I do it?"
He had heard his brother talk about it.
The Five Elements Technique was already difficult to cultivate. Learning one of them was fine, but to learn all of them, with his talent...
Could he really do it?
Yu Daohén smiled faintly and inquired, "Do you know who your senior brother and second senior brother are?"
Zhou Li nodded and said, "I do. Master has two disciples, Senior Brother Zhou Fu, and my brother."
Yu Daohén nodded. "That's right. Your senior brother's talent is even less than yours, and the Five Elements Technique requires talent to learn, so I only taught him the Flame Devouring Technique."
"As for your brother, his talent is exceptional. I originally planned to teach him the Flame Devouring Technique after this great battle, but..."
At this point, Yu Daohén's expression turned bitter, and he changed the subject. "Although your talent is not as good as your brother's, it is much better than your senior brother's. You have more than enough to learn the Flame Devouring Technique, and you can barely learn the Five Elements Technique."
Hearing his master say this, Zhou Li's face lit up with excitement, and he affirmed, "As long as I can learn, I will work twice as hard and will not disappoint Master."
"Good!"
Yu Daohén's face showed joy, and he immediately said, "Come with me to the Midnight Spirit Shop, and then we'll deal with the matter at the construction site."
The two set off for the Midnight Spirit Shop.
Upon arriving at the shop.
Yu Shuntian, Yu Yijun, Qin Muyu, and Liu Feng, the family, had already gathered in the shop.
Yu Shuntian looked at Zhou Li, who was standing straight and not daring to breathe, and then at Yu Daohén, asking, "Grandson, is this your new disciple?"
Zhou Li swallowed.
At this moment, he felt like a middle schooler visiting a bar for the first time.
He was completely like a well-behaved child.
He knew who the stern-faced Yu Shuntian before him was.
He was his master's grandfather, the strongest pillar of the Blazing Flame Sect, Yu Shuntian!
He had seen this grand-master at the sect before.
But it was only from afar.
This was the first time he was this close!
It would be a lie to say he wasn't nervous.
And the others present, any one of them could take on a Black Rank expert alone.
Even his master's daughter could take on a Heaven Rank expert.
Such terrifying strength explained why his master was so powerful!
Indeed, there was a reason why his master could be so powerful.
Yu Daohén nodded and smiled, "This is my final disciple, Zhou Li."
Yu Shuntian nodded slightly and then looked Zhou Li up and down.
Zhou Li swallowed and obediently called out, "Greetings, Grand-master."
Yu Shuntian nodded and slowly said, "Your personality is good, but your talent is average."
Hearing this, Zhou Li felt a little dejected but forced a smile.
Seeing his expression, Yu Shuntian chuckled and said, "Lift your head. So what if your talent is average? How many heroes in this world have good talent?"
"That kid with the Haotian Fist, isn't he strong? But his talent is also average. There's nothing to be ashamed of."
Zhou Li looked at Yu Shuntian and regained his confidence, his eyes firm. "I understand, Grand-master."
Yu Shuntian nodded with satisfaction.
He had great confidence in this kid.
After all, he was his grandson's personal disciple!
Yu Daohén looked at Zhou Li and gave him a shot of confidence. "Strength doesn't come from talent, but from effort. Keep it up, kid, Master believes in you!"
Liu Feng and Qin Muyu nodded in agreement beside him.
Seeing his master and the seniors trust him so much, Zhou Li was deeply touched.
Yu Shuntian coughed and looked at Yu Yijun, who was playing nearby. He smiled and said, "Little girl, go play in the backyard by yourself for a while. I need to talk to your dad and the others."
Yu Yijun nodded obediently and then walked towards the backyard.
Yu Daohén had just turned to look at Zhou Li when he saw him get up and say, "I'm going out to buy Master some cigarettes."
Yu Daohén was stunned for a moment, then nodded. "Alright."
To be honest, Zhou Li was truly like his brother!
Except for his personality, he was very much like him in other ways.
If he were still alive now, how wonderful that would be.
He absolutely could not let this disciple get into trouble.
Absolutely not!
This could also be considered a way to account for Zhou Fu.
