"Good, good."Steward Yin laughed heartily as he helped Li Yu up. "To have such an excellent disciple to teach is my good fortune.""Master, you flatter me."Li Yu stood up with a smile, looking at his newly acknowledged master, feeling a wave of emotions.When he first crossed over to this world, he fell and fainted in the wilderness. If not for Steward Yin's help, Li Yu might have been devoured by wild beasts.Upon arriving at the academy, he was weak and powerless. Without Steward Yin's care, he might not even have been able to beg for food.Even after getting the system, without that Peiyuan Yanggxue Pill, who knows how long it would have taken to activate the system. Thus, Steward Yin's family was truly Li Yu's savior.Even though Li Yu now had broader horizons and higher ambitions, he still felt no need to put on airs in front of Steward Yin's family.More importantly, Li Yu had crossed over to this world as a lone wolf. To establish himself, a strong sect background would be an excellent support.To put it bluntly, with Steward Yin's connection and the whole "Qinglian Patriarch" incident he had stirred up, Cangwu Academy was the best choice for Li Yu.Therefore, acknowledging Steward Yin as his master to strengthen their relationship was an excellent choice. After all, there was the "Qinglian Patriarch."Although revealing his connection with the "Qinglian Patriarch" would bring endless trouble, there might be a time when unveiling this card could be beneficial."Since that's the case, let's honestly play the role of a disciple. Who knows, I might end up with more than just skills, maybe even a daughter-in-law."Thinking of this, Li Yu chuckled inwardly and glanced at Yin Luo.That girl was still happily laughing to herself, not noticing Li Yu's subtle actions. Steward Yin saw it but had no idea what Li Yu was thinking."Since you've become my disciple, you are no longer a servant. Well, you weren't really a servant to begin with."Steward Yin stroked his beard and looked at Li Yu with a smile. "From now on, you are a disciple of Cangwu Academy.""Our Cangwu Academy is a place of Confucian cultivation. All our disciples are considered scholars, so you need to take a courtesy name."Returning to his desk, Steward Yin began filling out the name register."Do you have a courtesy name?"While writing Li Yu's name, Steward Yin looked up and asked."Courtesy name?"Li Yu thought for a moment, then bowed and said, "Disciple Li Yu, courtesy name Qinglian.""Qinglian?""What, Qinglian?"Hearing this, Steward Yin froze, stopping his pen. Yin Luo, on the other hand, stifled her laughter, her shoulders shaking."Is there something wrong with that?"Li Yu put on an innocent look, as if he had no idea what was happening."Hehehe."Yin Luo finally couldn't hold back her laughter, pointing at Li Yu while giggling, "Don't you know what happened last night? Were you sleeping so soundly that you missed everything?""The transformation of the Nine Revolutions Reincarnation Body from lifelessness to vitality is like a butterfly emerging from its chrysalis. It's understandable you didn't hear anything last night."Steward Yin thought for a moment and found a reasonable explanation."I have the Innate Sacred Body and Dao Embryo. What's this Nine Revolutions Reincarnation Body nonsense?"Listening to Steward Yin constantly mention the Nine Revolutions Reincarnation Body, Li Yu felt a bit annoyed and grumbled inwardly."Yu Ge'er, you missed a great event last night."Yin Luo, proud and smug, glanced at Li Yu with a teasing look."Luo'er, stop teasing."Steward Yin shook his head with a smile, then turned to Li Yu. "Let me tell you directly. Last night, our Cangwu Academy's Qinglian Patriarch attained the supreme Dao, becoming a supreme grandmaster. His Dao declaration was broadcasted to the world, and the five sacred spirits sang in celebration.""Supreme grandmaster? What realm is that?"Li Yu had heard the term many times but still couldn't wrap his head around it. He had no idea about the cultivation realms of this world."Uh, shouldn't you be more surprised about the patriarch's name? Qinglian Patriarch! The patriarch is called Qinglian, and you dare to call yourself Qinglian?"Seeing that Li Yu was focusing on the wrong thing, Yin Luo quickly pointed out the real issue."Oh, I see."The name Qinglian Patriarch or Qinglian Grandmaster didn't hold much significance for Li Yu.Seeing Yin Luo's urgent reminder, Li Yu couldn't help but think mischievously, "Your Qinglian Patriarch is already planted in my lotus pond.""Master, is my courtesy name inappropriate?"Li Yu put on a cautious look and asked Steward Yin."There's no taboo against it. Our Cangwu Academy isn't that rigid. Since the Qinglian Patriarch attained the Dao, many people have taken courtesy names like Jinglian, Shilian, Mulian, but it's rare to see someone directly using Qinglian."Steward Yin smiled at Li Yu, making Li Yu feel a bit awkward."Uh..."Li Yu lowered his head slightly."Alright, it's no big deal."Steward Yin smiled and, to Yin Luo's surprise, wrote down Li Yu's name, "Li Yu, courtesy name Qinglian.""Now that you have this courtesy name, don't disgrace the Qinglian Patriarch. You must cultivate diligently, understood?"Yin Luo reminded Li Yu."Mm."Li Yu nodded quickly. There was no room for disagreement at this point.He couldn't very well tell them that the Qinglian Patriarch was planted in his lotus pond. Claiming that the supreme grandmaster was his fabrication would surely get him in trouble."Since you are now a disciple of our Cangwu Academy, let me tell you about our academy."Steward Yin looked at Li Yu seriously."Cangwu Academy is one of the ten holy lands of Confucianism, established for ten thousand years. Over the years, our academy has produced countless geniuses, with many advancing to grandmasters and supreme grandmasters. Now, with the Qinglian Patriarch attaining the Dao, our academy is among the strongest sects in the world.""It's really that powerful?"Li Yu was taken aback. A sect with ten thousand years of history must have an immense foundation. The library must be vast, containing all kinds of information.It seemed his decision to stay at Cangwu Academy was correct. If he could access the library and scan all the books, he would gain a deep understanding of this world."Mm."Seeing Li Yu's astonished expression, Steward Yin nodded with satisfaction.Newcomers must develop a sense of belonging to the sect. Highlighting the sect's glory and status was the best way."The ten holy lands of Confucianism, the nine heavens of Daoism, and the eight great temples of Buddhism are the top sects in the world. Our Cangwu Academy is now the fourth sect with a supreme grandmaster. We are truly one of the top sects in the world."Steward Yin proudly raised his head, clearly proud of their first-class sect status."Since you are now under my tutelage, you must cultivate diligently and not slack off.""Yes."Li Yu nodded in agreement and then asked, "Master, you still haven't explained what a supreme grandmaster is."
