Upon hearing this, Liu Shimei had to snap out of her recruiting mode and shift into confrontational mode.
Sensing that her dear friend was about to lose it, she grabbed his hand, pushed him behind her, and confronted the speaker. "I may not be the youngest, but if we have to go by seniority in the Ghost Doctor Qi Yang's camp, I might be... the only one?"
She smirked, a sly grin playing at her lips. "Did you get wind of my master's announcement? Did you think that because he took on a disciple, the renowned Ghost Doctor Qi Yang was finally breaking tradition and planning to take on more students? So, you thought you'd come and secure a spot?"
The man, although slightly built and scholarly-looking, had a pair of eyes that betrayed a shrewd, street-smart demeanor. He snorted, "Since Master Qi has taken you as his disciple, you're the first disciple and the senior sister. Does that give you the right to block Master from taking on more disciples like me?"
