Chapter 10, I am the Sword God, Broken Feather
My heart gradually calmed down. I looked at the two slightly frightened disciples, and I knew that the sword energy from earlier had scared them.
"Get up and come with me to see if the mountain king has made a decision," I said with a hearty laugh as I walked towards Li Si
I am Zhang Yu. Zhang Yu still has a cool expression on his face
"Please accept me as your disciple." Zhang Yu, who had just been looking cool, immediately knelt down to beg me to take him as a disciple, which was truly hard to bear. I glanced at him; his aptitude did not seem impressive, and his physical attributes belonged to the water element, allowing him only to practice the Xuan Yin Technique. However, for some reason, I found myself quite fond of him.
"Xiao Yu, do not say that. We are already as close as biological brothers; your father is my father as well. Please do not say such things." Li Da and Li Er also comforted Zhang Yu
I still do not know your names; what are your names, respectively? I asked my two disciples.
Zhang Yu looked at me in silence, waiting for a long time before saying: "For my father, to protect my father, during the repeated escapes, I could only become a burden, only hoping that my two elder brothers would protect my father. I was supposed to protect my father, yet I was always the one being protected by them. During one escape, my father was wounded by a knife while trying to prevent me from getting hurt. I truly hate myself; why can't I master martial arts? Why can't I protect my own father?" At this moment, Zhang Yu was already in tears.
Well, not bad, I will reluctantly accept you. It is quite rare for me to take on disciples, and you will be my first major disciple. You must work hard and perform well in the future, do you understand?" I said in a tone reminiscent of an elder admonishing a junior and imparting knowledge.
Esteemed hero, please accept us as your disciples. We will be very good students, and we possess great talent as well as strong determination. If you take us as your disciples, you will surely be satisfied, and we will bring you honor
"Master, my name is Li Da, and this is my twin brother Li Er. We have always wanted to learn advanced martial arts, but previously we had no good masters. We only learned some skills from those guys at the martial arts school, and the one who taught us the longest was the now-deceased 'Invincible Divine Fist.' After his death, we continued to self-study. Later, we wandered here with Brother Xiao Yu and his father to escape from the pursuit of our enemies, so we decided to stay here." said the taller one.
"Alright, Master, the three of us will go ahead. Rest assured, we will not let those little rascals take even a couple of silver coins." Li Da replied loudly
"Very well, very well. Just by saying that you will protect your father, I will take you as my disciple; you shall be my third disciple," I said loudly
Li Da and Li Er were extremely saddened to see their younger brother Xiao Yu, who had always been strong, in such a state
Alas, there is no Tianxin Sect in this world; am I not the only one of the Tianxin Sect? Hey, if I establish the Tianxin Sect in this world, am I not the founding master? Even if the elders of the sect in the Immortal Realm find out, it doesn't matter; am I not just expanding the branches of the Tianxin Sect?
"Master, is it true? We are the elders of the Heavenly Heart Sect. Haha, we are also elders now, haha." My lovely disciple is very happy.
Yes, Master, we hold you in the highest regard. If you instruct us to go east, we will certainly go east. If you tell us to head west, we will definitely head west. When you drink tea, we will pour the water. When you sleep, we will guard the door for you. The two bald heads shine brightly under the sun, and I find myself somewhat fond of these two lads. They are brave and charge forward in a fight, and seeing how they treat me, it seems they are also quite diligent in their training. I have respect for Master, as well as filial piety. Very good, very good.
Father, Father, haha he is a remarkable hero, not just an ordinary hero
"Master, a few soldiers have started to return to the stronghold. We should hurry to prevent them from taking it first," Zhang Yu reminded me.
Master, may I ask what your title is in the martial world? We have someone known as 'Invincible Divine Fist', but he was later defeated by someone called 'Celestial Being from Beyond'. What is your name? Are you not more formidable than them?
I turned my head back and looked at the young man in purple who had left a profound impact on me from the very beginning. Just as I was about to speak, my eldest disciple, Li Da, said, "Master, he is our little brother Yu. Little brother Yu is very impressive, proficient in various military strategies and formations. His father, Uncle Zhang, was once the chief sculptor of the nation's top jade shop, 'Baoyu Xiang.' However, due to internal family divisions at 'Baoyu Xiang,' Uncle Zhang supported the eldest son, while the second son sent someone to assassinate the eldest son. This incident was inadvertently discovered by Uncle Zhang, leading the second son to send people to hunt him down. It is said that the eldest son has already been killed, but the second son has not ceased his pursuit. We can only stop here."
"You two fellows wish to join my - Tu - Tianshin Sect, which is not impossible; it mainly depends on your fortune. Essentially, it is about assessing the quality of your moral and ethical standards, such as whether you respect your elders and the like." I looked at the two of them, adopting a teacher-like demeanor.
"Li Si, have you made your decision? Hurry up and tell me," I said to Li Si in a stern voice.
This, this is our Tianxin Sect, and I am the only one here. I am the founding master. You will also be the elders of the Tianxin Sect in the future. I looked at my two senior disciples; I certainly do not want to see them disrespecting me
"You tell me, why should I take you as my disciple? Your qualifications are average, and it seems you have not practiced any martial arts before. What makes you think I should accept you as my student?" I looked at Zhang Yu and asked淡淡地.
My good mood just vanished in an instant because of those two boys. Father, Haojie, I can only laugh bitterly to the heavens. Just for the sake of the family's interests, to abandon me, his own son, he can indeed be called a great hero, an unparalleled great hero.
"Yes, Master, Master, how many people does our Tianxin Sect have now? Is it more than Shaolin?" The two senior disciples looked at me with anticipation. After witnessing my martial arts skills, they assumed that my sect must be a large one and had already begun to feel proud of belonging to such a significant sect.
"Thank you, Master Xie." Zhang Yu solemnly bowed three times.
Let’s go, retrieve my first sum of money. This is my first time earning money, and although it was obtained through robbery, it is still money. Let’s go! I shouted.
Ah, how do you know about my little stash? I haven't told a soul. Oh my goodness, I really don't have a single coin left. Please, esteemed leaders, leave some silver for me and the books. I beg you.
I looked at the young man in purple with astonishment; he gazed at me without the slightest hint of nervousness, quietly observing me with remarkable calmness. After all, I am their enemy, yet he showed no fear of me killing him.
As I watched their departing figures, I walked towards Rain Sister and the others
As soon as I saw a few fellows starting to sneak up the mountain, I chuckled and said, "Li Da, Li Er, you two go with Zhang Yu first; I will join you shortly.
The master is so impressive; his father must have been a remarkable figure as well. This is what they call "a tiger father begets no dog son." Master, am I right?" said the slightly taller bald man.
Five people are walking up the mountain in a line
I glanced at the young man in purple and said with a smile, "You must be that little brother Yu, right?"
Master, Master," my tall disciple whispered, aware that he had just misspoken.
"Stop!" I shouted loudly, turning to look at the two bald boys who were gaping, wanting to speak but too afraid to do so. What is going on? These two fellows actually want to take me as their master. Ha, not bad; I haven't had a disciple since I arrived in this world. (You are only six years old, who would take you as a master?) Looking at these two guys with their innate fire attribute bodies, it seems their life force is significantly higher than that of ordinary people. If I take them in, they might earn me a fortune in the future, and I will have someone to serve me on the road. Not bad, I haven't had a disciple since I arrived in this world.

I am fine, just thinking about some matters that do not concern you," I said to my two disciples reassuringly. I certainly did not want to create any distance between my disciples and myself because of this
Protecting father, his father disregarded his own life for him, using his body to block the knife for him, haha, and what about my father?
"Sister Yu." I immediately transformed back to my original appearance, "When I left the Zhang residence a few days ago, I encountered an immortal who imparted to me a spell that allows for transformation. That is why I have not returned for seven consecutive days."
Oh, no wonder you haven't returned for seven consecutive days, and even with the Zhang family's influence, they couldn't find you. Sister Yu immediately nodded as if she had suddenly understood. Brother Wang and the others also had looks of realization, not because they were easily deceived, but mainly because the Zhang family's power was too great. The Zhang family searched for me for seven days and still couldn't find me, so my explanation is quite consistent with the situation
Hahaha, my father is a great hero, a truly unparalleled great hero! I shouted to the heavens, and a surge of sword energy shot up into the sky, startling all the birds in the mountains
Master, I am the Sword God—Shattered Feather, much stronger than those people. I am comparable to the top ten experts of the continent, humph! I had no choice but to use the title from my previous life, only adding 'Sword God' in front. To be honest, it still sounds very cool.
It seems that the shorter one is Li Er. "From now on, you will be the senior disciple, and Li Er will be the second disciple," I said to the two of them. Suddenly, I recalled the young man in purple.
He has left to withdraw money! Brother Wolf is only ten years old, unlike me, whose mental age is quite advanced and has long been mature. However, everyone is still quite excited; who wouldn't be happy to obtain money so easily
"Hero, why are you still asking me? These few individuals have all taken you as their master, and they are well aware of the location of my treasure." Li Si said with a look of helplessness.
"How do we know about the little safe hidden in the secret room under your bed?" Zhang Yu said with a smile as he looked at Li Si
