There was an innate difference between a personal disciple and disciple in-name.
A personal disciple referred to a disciple who inherited his master's life's knowledge and required a grand ceremony when the master officially accepted the disciple.
As for a disciple in-name, it didn't require any ceremony and a verbal promise would do.
Typically speaking, higher-ups in the Scarlet Flames Academy might have hundreds of disciples in-name but definitely wouldn't have more than 10 personal disciples.
"Good, good, good!"
After learning that Ye Wanwan was only a disciple in-name, the elderly man nodded and smiled faintly. "Then acknowledge me as your master. I'll accept you as my personal disciple."
Ye Wanwan was startled.?It can also work like that...?
"What are you doing? Are you stealing my disciple in front of me?"
Elder Gong immediately turned to the elderly man.
"Elder Gong, what are you saying? This lass isn't your personal disciple, so how's it stealing... If you mind, then I won't continue." The elderly man helplessly smiled at him.
"Heh, still mountains away from Meng Ke. Back when Meng Ke was still a B-rank mercenary, she completed two missions, one A-ranked while the other was peak B-ranked and close to A rank," the old woman next to Lei He said.
"Excuse me, please help me document my mission." Ye Wanwan ignored the old woman and turned to the mission reporting instructor.
"Ah... sure..." The instructor nodded furiously. "An A-rank mission, right...?
"One more." Ye Wanwan pulled out another mission slip.
A-rank mission: Defeat Seven Star of the Fearless Alliance.
Before anyone could react, Ye Wanwan played another video on her phone.
