Yuehua grimaced deep down. She had seen two pieces of jade , Yi Yun and Luo Huo’er. However, due to Luo Huo’er’s mysterious background, it was likely that she had a master. Even Yi Yun, a commoner who came from the Cloud Wilderness, had a master.
It was quite ironic that with her status, there would be numerous people wishing to be taken in as disciples if she wanted to, yet when she wanted to taken in Yi Yun and Luo Huo’er as personal disciples, she could not take them in.
Yuehua felt that their talents were rare and they would have a great future ahead of them. When she compared them to her two other disciples, her disciples were inferior.
After some thought, Yuehua let out a sigh and said, “Are you two willing to acknowledge me as a quasi-master?”
Quasi-master?
Yi Yun was slightly stunned. In this world, there were a few types of masters.
Firstly, there was the late master. Due to chancing upon some opportunities and receiving the heritage from a dead person, such a master was known as a late master. For example, in Yi Yun’s gaining of saber truth insight in the saber tomb, the saber tomb’s owner was Yi Yun’s late master.
Secondly, there was a master. A disciple would go through a formal ceremony to acknowledge a master. Typically, there was only one such master under normal circumstances.
There were exceptions. When one’s strength exceeded one’s master, the master-disciple relationship would be automatically be relieved, allowing one to find another master.
As for the third type, there was the quasi-master. A quasi-master was not an official master, but one could follow the quasi-master to learn all sorts of skills and martial arts. One could have many quasi-masters, and there was no strict formal ceremony.
Typically, a sage-ranked Desolate Heaven Master like Yuehua would be a real master, whether it be taking in a personal or in-name disciples. She would never be a quasi-master.
But for Yi Yun and Luo Huo’er, Yuehua had decided on this.
Originally with just Luo Huo’er, Yuehua was not willing to degrade her status to be a quasi-master.
However, with Yi Yun appearing, Yuehua could no longer curb the temptation. Taking in one was no different than taking in two disciples. She might as well be a quasi-master.
This was because Yi Yun’s master was Su Jie. Yuehua was cognizant of her inferiority, so being a quasi-master after Su Jie was in no way disgracing herself.
“Grandmaster Yuehua is actually willing to be our quasi-master?”
Yi Yun was surprised. He knew the meaning behind a quasi-master. It made him feel flattered.
“I guess Grandmaster Yuehua knows old man Su…In the future, she would probably find out that old man Su is not my master at all. But it is a fact that I received old man Su’s scroll. Since I didn’t say that I had acknowledged old man Su as my master and only said that I had learned from him, it cannot be considered a lie…”
After thinking it through, Yi Yun felt that there would not be any problems and said, “Thanks to Grandmaster Yuehua’s appreciation, this junior is willing to acknowledge you.”
Yi Yun was well aware of his present situation. He may have shown unparalleled talent, but compared to a sage or the large factions in the Tai Ah Divine Kingdom, the gap was too great.
He needed resources and protection.
A faction like the Chu royal residence was still aiming to rope him in by signing a soul contract. Naturally, he would not agree to it. In contrast, a sage-ranked Grandmaster Yuehua, who had no demands on him, only wanted to take him in as a disciple, even as a quasi-disciple, to groom him.
