Days passed, and I settled into my new role. The sect's elders presented me with a group of five disciples, each with their own unique aura and story. There was Lin, the quiet and reserved one; Mei, the cheerful and energetic one; Jing, the brooding and intense one; Wei, the curious and inquisitive one; and finally, there was Qi, the enigmatic and mysterious one.As I began to teach them the ways of cultivation, I realized that each of them seemed to be hiding something. Little did I know, their secrets would change everything. Our first few sessions were awkward, with them struggling to open up to me. But I was patient, knowing that trust takes time to build.
