(Manami POV)
"Alright class, we'll be having new students today," the Elder announced to the small group of ten Practitioners standing in front of us.
The ten students were Inner Core Practitioners like us, most of them being in their thirties.
Eight of them were Male who had not stopped staring at Lian Li and I ever since we walked into the Grand Courtyard alongside this Elder.
"Elder Gong, aren't they Master Lin's disciples?" One of the two females asked.
Elder Gong stroked his beard, "That is correct. These three are Master Lin's disciples and his adopted daughter. They're here temporarily because he was tasked by the Sect Master to take care of a… Special case student. They will be your fellow students for some time so treat them as you would each other."
The group began whispering amongst themselves.
"Master Lin…"
"The strongest Master…"
"They must be geniuses…"
"They probably just got lucky…"
