After the time it takes for a stick of incense to burn, Xiang Tiange brought Xiao Yifeng to the main hall of the Boundless Hall, the "Heart-Inquiry Hall."
At this moment, everyone from the Boundless Hall lineage of the Heaven-Inquiry Sect was gathered in the Heart-Inquiry Hall.
The floor was paved with large white bricks, and the ceiling was as green as jade. The stone pillars were intricately carved with dragons and phoenixes, exuding an extraordinary grandeur.
In the center of the hall, a large "dragon" symbol was engraved on the floor, making one feel as if they had stepped into the imperial palace of the mortal world.
The hall was exceptionally spacious, with a high platform where a massive chair, entirely green, stood. Its material was unknown, and beside it was a smaller jade chair.
At this moment, two people were seated on the platform. One was Su Qianyi, the master of the Boundless Hall.
The other was a serene and elegant beauty dressed in a palace gown. At first glance, she appeared to be in her thirties, but upon closer inspection, she seemed to be in her twenties.
She was dignified and graceful, none other than Su Qianyi's wife, Lin Ziyun.
Lin Ziyun was a disciple of the prestigious Luoshu Manor, and she had a senior-junior relationship with the current master of Luoshu Manor. She played a significant role in Su Qianyi becoming the master of the Boundless Hall.
She herself was a master of the Void Realm, and it was precisely because of her that Su Qianyi could maintain his position as the master of the Boundless Hall despite its weak status.
It could be said that without her, there would be no Su Qianyi today.
At this moment, Lin Ziyun was holding a little girl in her arms, about the same age as Xiao Yifeng, around ten years old.
The little girl was as exquisite as a carved jade statue, with features as if painted, bright eyes, and white teeth. Her beautiful eyes were lively and full of spirit, making her extremely endearing.
She had inherited Lin Ziyun's stunning genes, and even at her young age, it was evident she would grow up to be a breathtaking beauty.
This little girl was the apple of Su Qianyi and Lin Ziyun's eye, Su Miaoqing.
At this moment, she was holding a snow-white cat with long fur, plump and adorable, complementing her perfectly.
Su Miaoqing was curiously watching the unfamiliar face of Xiao Yifeng standing in the hall.
As for the other disciples, they stood on either side, lined up, numbering over a dozen, dressed in light blue robes. These were Su Qianyi's true disciples.
Behind them were ordinary disciples or secondary disciples dressed in other colors.
In total, there were no less than two hundred people. As for the servant disciples, they could only wait outside the hall.
These people, tall or short, strong or thin, all had their eyes on Xiao Yifeng and Xiang Tiange, or more precisely, on Xiao Yifeng.
Looking at Su Qianyi's family and the familiar senior brothers and sisters, Xiao Yifeng was momentarily overwhelmed with emotion.
In his previous life, he had struggled for over twenty years to stand here and become their fellow disciple.
In this life, he had managed to get here early by clinging to a powerful figure and taking advantage of a fortunate opportunity.
He just didn't know if he could successfully become a disciple under Su Qianyi.
In his previous life, although he hadn't spent much time with his senior brothers and sisters, they had gotten along well. But his good days hadn't lasted long, only about thirty years.
Recalling how his master had mysteriously fallen in his previous life, and how he had been falsely accused of being an accomplice in his master's murder.
He hadn't even been able to see his master off on his final journey, forced to flee to the starry domain with a tarnished reputation.
After his master's departure, without a great master in the Boundless Hall, his master's wife and senior sister couldn't hold it together, and the Boundless Hall quickly fell apart.
Now, he made a silent vow in his heart that, since fate had given him another chance in this life to join the Boundless Hall again, he would not let it repeat the mistakes of the past!
As he was lost in thought, Xiang Tiange respectfully said, "Master, Master's Wife, I have brought the new disciple."
Su Qianyi was in a foul mood, his fair face dark with impatience.
Lin Ziyun had already learned about Xiao Yifeng from Su Qianyi and knew he had been forced to come up the mountain, so she gave Xiao Yifeng a second look.
Seeing his clear eyes and tearful gaze, she thought he was saddened by his own experiences.
Her heart couldn't help but tremble, feeling an inexplicable sympathy, and she subconsciously overlapped him with a shadow in her heart.
Lin Ziyun sighed softly in her heart and gently said to Su Qianyi, "Qianyi, you see, our Boundless Hall hasn't taken in any disciples for many years.
As Senior Brother Guangling said, this child seems to have a connection with us."
Su Qianyi hesitated, "Wife, you mean?"
Lin Ziyun softly replied, "Qing'er is in need of a playmate now, isn't she? They are about the same age, so they should get along well.
Why don't you take him as a disciple? He can keep Qing'er company, and if need be, I can personally guide him."
In her arms, Su Miaoqing looked at Xiao Yifeng. She was the youngest and the little princess of the hall.
And since the Boundless Hall hadn't taken in any disciples for years, the other disciples were much older, and she always felt she couldn't relate to them.
Hearing this, Su Miaoqing jumped out of Lin Ziyun's arms, ran to Su Qianyi, and clapped her hands excitedly, "Great, great, Dad, am I finally going to have a little junior brother?"
Although Su Qianyi had a fiery temper, he was very fond of his wife and, even more so, his precious daughter, Su Miaoqing.
He gently patted Su Miaoqing's head, pulling her into his arms, and softly said, "Does Qing'er want a little junior brother?"
Su Miaoqing blinked her big round eyes and nodded like a pecking chick, "Of course! Mom said this morning that Dad went to find me a little junior brother or sister. Isn't he one?"
Su Qianyi hesitated for a moment but couldn't bear to dampen his daughter's enthusiasm. Reluctantly, he said, "Yes, yes, Dad will listen to you."
So, in a strange twist of fate, Xiao Yifeng, who was not supposed to become a true disciple, was unexpectedly elevated to that status with the help of Lin Ziyun and Su Miaoqing.
This left Xiang Tiange, who had been thinking that if the master didn't accept Xiao Yifeng, he would take him under his own wing, a bit stunned.
He couldn't help but feel genuinely happy for Xiao Yifeng, this little junior brother who seemed to have extraordinary luck.
Lin Ziyun smiled, glanced at Su Qianyi, and said no more.
Su Qianyi looked at Xiao Yifeng, a bit impatient, "What are you standing there for? It's better to choose a day than to wait for it. Since everyone's here today, you might as well perform the Master-Apprentice Ceremony now!"
Xiao Yifeng was bewildered; he had prepared himself to become a secondary disciple, but how did happiness come so suddenly?
How did he suddenly become a true disciple?
Though surprised, Xiao Yifeng, with the experience of his past life, solemnly knelt down and kowtowed nine times.
He sincerely said, "Disciple Xiao Yifeng, pays respect to Master and Master's Wife, and greets all senior brothers and sisters."
"Great, great, I'm finally not the youngest anymore, and I have a little junior brother!" Su Miaoqing couldn't help but clap her hands and laugh.
Su Qianyi, having inexplicably accepted a true disciple, wasn't in a good mood and waved his hand, "Alright, get up."
"Yes!" Xiao Yifeng stood up.
"That's it, today's meeting is over. Everyone, disperse!"
After Su Qianyi finished speaking, he got up and wanted to leave with Su Miaoqing.
Unexpectedly, Su Miaoqing, with a child's nature, insisted on playing with her little junior brother.
Su Qianyi, feeling extremely frustrated, walked alone to the back courtyard.
All the disciples bowed together, "Farewell, Master (Hall Master)."
After Su Qianyi left, the other disciples bid farewell to Lin Ziyun and the others and also left one by one.
Only the true disciples and Lin Ziyun with her daughter remained on the scene.

Everyone gathered around, and the little girl Su Miaoqing also jumped around Xiao Yifeng.
She put on an adult-like demeanor, circling Xiao Yifeng and examining him closely.
Xiao Yifeng noticed that despite her young age, she had already reached the fifth level of Qi Refining. Her talent was truly terrifying, no wonder Su Qianyi and his wife cherished her so much.
Seeing her tender, adorable face staring at him unblinkingly, Xiao Yifeng couldn't help but feel a bit uneasy.
