"Good, good, good. Rise, quickly."
Elder Life Crane smiled and raised his hand slightly. Yang An immediately felt a force lift him to his feet.
"From this day forward, you are my thirteenth Direct Disciple!
Once we return to the Life Crane Sect, I will have someone arrange a grand initiation ceremony for you, where you can formally complete the discipleship rites.
The Life Crane Sect hasn't had such a joyous occasion in a very long time!"
'The thirteenth disciple?'
'That means I have twelve senior brothers and sisters ahead of me.'
He wasn't particularly fond of the number thirteen. It had an ominous ring to it, like the title of some infamous gang. Not that he dared to voice any objections.
"Yes, Master. I am at your command!"
Yang An did his best to appear obedient. After all, he had just witnessed how ferocious this old man could be, and he was terrified that the He Tou would actually eat him.
"Your name is Yang An, correct?"
