Li Bai woke up with an odd feeling. He brushed it off and thought of some more plans to get famous. He knew that there was the Backwater City competition in the later weeks, but he felt too impatient to wait. He wanted immediate results!
Even though his strength, his main objective, had been risen to large heights, he was fixed on gaining disciples this time, now that he had the epiphany. He didn't want to be the strongest anymore, although that would be a good achievement.
However, he already obtained this achievement multiple times, and no matter how many times he restarted, he always would. It was time to get a new achievement attached to his many names.
He thought of ways to gain disciples, and finally, after many long hours, he thought of one. Li Bai called Jin He from her room which was right beside his.
Jin He was the one who requested her room to be beside the young master. This confused many servants, as no one knew of the relationship between her and Li Bai except for Li Fu, Li Bai, and Jin He herself.
Corresponding quickly to the call, Jin He arrived at the door to Li Bai's room quickly. She saw her master's serious face. It seems like something's about to happen...
Li Bai was sitting while looking on the floor with his eyebrows furrowed. Normally, if this face was seen, one would be startled, but in Li Bai's case, he looked very silly. As serious as she is, Jin He couldn't help but giggle a bit.
The young master noticed this clearly. If his cultivation was like before, he would have. But now that his cultivation was at the Fifth Level Mark, he could hear all kinds of subtle sounds, including Jin He's little laugh.
Pretending not to have heard the giggle, he fixed his expression to an unserious one after he deduced the reason why Jin He laughed. He stood up and swept the dust off of his clothes.
He then turned his back against Jin He with both of his hands holding each other. This posture gave off a menacing vibe.
"Jin He, I need you to do something."
"What is it, master?"
"I want you to cause a ruckus outside..."
Li Bai's plan was to make Jin He cause trouble on the streets, while he swoops in to stop her. Repeating this plan in his mind made him rethink his choices.
"...No, wait, never mind."
Jin He raised her eyebrow. If it was something she could do, she would do it, so why was her master hesitating? She owed him very much after all, but her following him was not out of obligation but rather out of trust.
"Master, if can do it, then I will."
Li Bai wasn't hesitating for the reason Jin He thought he was. He wasn't hesitating because Jin He couldn't do what he planned to make her do, the reason was because he reevaluated his plan and deemed it extremely silly. No signs of hesitation were showing on Jin He's face, but if he mentioned the whole plan to her, she would think that it is a particularly petty plan.
Instead, he thought that he should make his debut in the big stage, the Backwater City tournament. He held off his impatience for now, and found himself contented with teaching Jin He, his first and only disciple for the time being. In fact, Li Bao, his sister, could already be considered one of Li Bai's disciples because of her constantly asking for advice from him.
While he was thinking about all of this, he stayed silent and just stood there with Jin He waiting for his orders. A lot of time passed before Li Bai went back to his senses.
"Ah, Jin He, sorry. I was contemplating."
"It's okay, master."
Although Jin He called him master, she spoke no formalities. As such, Li Bai was getting irritated by this halfhearted tone of respect and wished for her to speak normally.
"Jin He, drop the master. Call me Li Bai instead."
"Fine, Li Bai."
As time passed, the two talked about random topics, with Li Bai finding himself satisfied with teaching Jin He about the many things that she did not know. Li Bai was treating Jin He like a child, because after all, he has lived much longer than Jin He, so her age of twenty-three was nothing. Sometimes, Li Bai would find himself acting like a child, supposedly influenced by his small body, and it's in these times that Jin He would treat him like a child.
While the two were enjoying their time talking to each other, Li Bao barged in Li Bai's room and demanded that Li Bai teach her again. She shouted inside the room.
"Bai didi! Help me with this!"
Jin He and Li Bai were surprised by Li Bao's sudden entrance. They quickly turned to look at her.
Li Bao saw Jin He and Li Bai look at her like she was some kind of criminal. Maybe I interrupted something? ...That's it!
"Ah, Bai didi, mysterious woman, sorry for abruptly interrupting your private time!"
Li Bao turned around and started to walk away. Li Bai stood up and chased after her.
"Wait, wait, Bao jie-jie. What do you need help with?"
A confused Li Bai caught up with his sister. He was puzzled why Li Bao would walk away like that if she had something to ask.
"I'll ask later, it seems like you two are doing something."
"No, since you are already here, you should ask now. We aren't really doing something."
Li Bao finally submitted and asked the issue she had. Li Bai taught her while Jin He watched idly. She listened to Li Bai as well.
When Jin He heard something that confused her, she stopped Li Bai and asked him. Li Bai was puzzled, why would she ask something about this topic? Nevertheless, he answered her question. Li Bao was confused, so she too asked Li Bai.
Li Bai was now teaching both of them at the same time.
