Chapter 378 - 367: Accepting a Master
Mr. Zhuang’s heart stirred, and he smiled, "That’s no problem at all, whether they officially become my disciples or not, I teach them all the same. It’s just that if they did formally become disciples, they would need to be ranked accordingly. I have already taken Manbao as my disciple, and then I promised Shanbao, so Erlang..."
Old Master Bai turned around and shouted at Bai Erlang, who was looking completely puzzled, "What are you dawdling for? Won’t you quickly address your Master, Senior Brother, and Senior Sister?"
Shanbao had fought with Manbao for the position of Senior Brother and even lost, a fact that Old Master Bai had heard about only a couple of days ago.
Bai Erlang: ...
Both Manbao and Bai Shanbao were satisfied, craning their little necks waiting for Bai Erlang to call them by their titles.
With a dumbfounded face, Bai Erlang looked at the two people who were clearly shorter than him, puckered his lips with grievance, but before he could voice his objection, Old Master Bai had already slapped the back of his head.
Under his father’s intimidating gaze, Bai Erlang reluctantly called Manbao "Senior Sister," and Bai Shanbao "Senior Brother." Only then did he look towards Mr. Zhuang with tears welling up in his eyes.
Mr. Zhuang felt sorry for the boy, so he gently stroked his head and led everyone inside the main room, smiling, "In that case, all of you should perform the disciple induction ceremony together."
Manbao quickly and alertly stood behind Mr. Zhuang, triumphantly watching the two Junior Brothers.
Mrs. Zhuang hurriedly brought in the freshly brewed tea. Bai Shanbao took one cup first, and then Bai Erlang took the remaining one.
Both of them knelt down, offering tea to Mr. Zhuang and performing the rite of respect.
