Feng Yexiao quickly promised, “Master, I will definitely work hard to cultivate and won’t embarrass you.”

Well, this kid completely missed the point!

I had intended to give him a few more reminders, but seeing Feng Yexiao’s happy little face, I thought maybe I should just let it go.

Besides, I believed my disciple wouldn’t be that desperate given my current appearance.

Thinking this, I felt much more at ease.

In the end, I accepted a disciple.

After returning to my residence and settling Feng Yexiao in, I went back to my room to carefully read the disciple acceptance manual given to me by the sect master.

The sect master was worried that I wouldn’t understand a lot of things since it was my first time accepting a disciple, so he specifically provided it to me.

He really is too thoughtful. I carefully looked over the contents of the manual and found it included the following points:

1. For a growing child like Feng Yexiao, he shouldn’t take fasting pills; he mainly needs to eat regular meals. Once he’s fully grown, then he can take the pills.
2. As a new disciple, Feng Yexiao needs to attend classes at the Xing Shu Hall for the first three years to learn about the current rules in the continent, such as: Yan Cang Sect is located in the southernmost part of Tian Ze Continent, the relationships between cultivators, demon cultivators, and beast cultivators, and so on.
3. The classes at Xing Shu Hall are only in the morning; in the afternoon, the master must teach swordsmanship, mental techniques, and other subjects.

The problem is that I don’t have any food here, which means I’ll have to get up early to take him to the dining hall for breakfast, and after he finishes, take him to Xing Shu Hall to study. In the afternoon, I’ll have to personally teach him, right?

“…”

Isn’t this just like taking a kid to school and tutoring him on the side?

The cultivation world is really down-to-earth!

When I looked at what time I had to take Feng Yexiao to school, I was shocked.

He has to go to school tomorrow! No wonder the sect master was in such a hurry for me to finish reading.

Then I checked the time—he has to be at Xing Shu Hall by the Chen hour! That means I have to get up at the Mao hour?

The modern trait of people—can’t sleep at night and can’t get up during the day.

If I have to get up at six and arrive at seven, how can I possibly manage that?

Suddenly, I thought about letting Feng Yexiao go to school by himself and not disturb my sleep.

Then I rejected that idea; the little carrot head doesn’t understand anything, so it’s better to take him myself for peace of mind.

In the end, I sighed, “No matter where you are, studying is tough.”

Early the next morning, I was dead tired and knocked on Feng Yexiao’s door.

To my surprise, Feng Yexiao was already prepared and waiting for me to take him out.

When he saw me, he happily said, “Master, I’m ready! Let’s hurry and learn some spells!”

“It’s not spells; you’re going to learn some basic knowledge first. The spells… I’ll teach you later.”

I maintained my cool and reliable image, but inside, I felt guilty—I don’t know much about spells either!

I was already planning in my mind that after taking Feng Yexiao to school, I’d go to the library to find books and study.

That way, I wouldn’t be able to take a nap!

How come I transmigrated without bringing any golden fingers? I have to learn everything myself.

As Feng Yexiao and I walked slowly toward the dining hall, I could smell the aroma of food even from a distance.

It’s said that the chef at the dining hall was hired with a large sum from the mortal realm, which explains why it smelled so good as we approached.

Because Yan Cang Sect isn’t one of those sects that treats fasting pills like meals; the pills are said to be eaten only when cultivators don’t have the opportunity to cook.

The entire sect is quite particular about having good meals.

That’s nice; I like this down-to-earth sect.

As soon as I walked in, I noticed something odd—where are all the older people?

Almost everyone around me was young; there were hardly any peers my age—of course, I’m talking about my real age, not this old man disguise!

Could it be that the other masters didn’t bring their new disciples to eat? Strange.

Soon, I didn’t have time to ponder this because I was drawn in by the aroma of food, and the distance between the seats in the dining hall was quite far, giving plenty of privacy, so why bother with that?

Then I hesitated between maintaining my cool image and eating breakfast with Feng Yexiao, but I decisively chose to eat with him!

After all, I still need to go to the library to find materials to study, and I don’t have time to take Feng Yexiao to school and then come back to pack food to eat.

I took Feng Yexiao to and from school for a month, and soon rumors spread within the sect that I was the best master in the sect, which made the other disciples in the academy envy Feng Yexiao.

When I learned about this, I was playing chess with the sect master.

“Playing chess” actually meant I was getting beaten up single-handedly.

When I heard this, I joked, “Why do they say that? Is it because they see that I’m old and still personally take my disciple to school, thinking I’m determined despite my disabilities?”

“No, it’s because most of the new disciples taken in by the other masters are usually led to the dining hall and Xing Shu Hall by the disciples they previously accepted. It’s rare for a master to personally take them.”

“…But Feng Yexiao is my first disciple. He’s so young; if I don’t take him, who will?”

The sect master smiled and glanced at me, saying, “Yun Zhi’s place isn’t that far from yours, right? You can ask Yun Zhi’s disciples to help you take Yexiao to school. You two have a good relationship; they wouldn’t refuse such a small favor.”

I bitterly smiled and said, “I temporarily forgot about that method.”

“I thought it was because you liked your new disciple too much that you’d personally take him every day.”

But that’s not about whether I like him or not; it’s just that I had just transmigrated and didn’t understand the rules!

It looks like I need to visit all the other masters more often, especially Yun Zhi’s!
