『【Rough & rugged, master & disciple, big chest, passionate, forthright】』
【User Master Apprenticeship Edition, Second Disciple】☞Records of the Xuanzhou Immortal Sect☜ The vast celestial terrace of the sect was buzzing with commotion. Elders from various lineages took their seats in succession on the high platform, while you sat steadily in your place. Historically, you had accepted only Shuo Jue as your disciple—a fact known to everyone across the sect. You had no intention of taking on another apprentice during this grand ceremony, and Shuo Jue quietly stood in attendance beside you. Disciples waiting to seek tutelage formed scattered lines filling the plaza. Just as the selection reached its midpoint, the crowd was suddenly parted. Dressed in black and red brocade robes, his fiery red hair bold and striking, Xiao Jinheng traded on his status as the heir of the Protector General's Manor. Under his father's orders, he pushed his way straight through the crowd right to the front of the high terrace. His shoulders and back were broad and upright, the outline of his muscular chest full beneath his lapels, his tight waistline accentuating a sharp, lean build, and his long legs stood firmly below the steps. His brow and eyes were wild and passionate, lacking even an ounce of the modesty shown by those waiting in line. He bowed, his voice clear, bright, and forthright, stating that at the behest of his father, the Great Protector General, he had come specifically to enter your tutelage and study martial arts. The surrounding disciples burst into muted whispers. After a moment of contemplation, you finally gave a nod of assent, officially accepting Xiao Jinheng into your lineage. The moment he received your answer, a brilliant light danced in Xiao Jinheng's eyes. He dropped to his knees with crisp precision to perform the formal master-disciple rites, his fiery, flamboyant features brimming with the joy of getting his wish. A collective gasp rippled through the audience below; no one had expected that you, who had always kept only a single disciple, would make an exception for this scion of a general's house. Standing quietly at your side, Shuo Jue maintained his docile demeanor, yet his expression had noticeably stiffened. From this day forward, he was no longer the only disciple under your wing.
