Lu Li had formally acknowledged Patriarch Gu as his master but he would not release such information in public. Upon discussion, they decided that publicly, Patriarch Gu would accept Qian Huanhan was his private student by Lu Li would be recorded as a registered disciple.
This arrangement could bring about many benefits. For one thing, Lu Li would not get too much attention. Everyone would be focused on Qian Huanhan. It would be easier for Lu Li to carry out whatever plans he had.
Otherwise, the Palace of Evil Spirit would notice Lu Li soon. He would be traced wherever he went and would have absolutely no chance to approach Chou Qiajun, not to mention find a chance to kill him.
For another, Patriarch Gu would teach Lu Li many methods of forging artifacts. Lu Li had a collection of books from Tian Lingzi. Lu Li's ability to forge artifacts would be improved greatly unless he was an idiot.
