"Nice to meet you, Elder Bai." Li Lin smiled slightly and hurriedly paid his respects. Elder Bai Mei, Li Lin naturally recognized him.

"Lin'er, it's really you. I thought I was dreaming. It's good that you're not dead," Elder Bai Mei took a moment to come back to his senses, still appearing extremely excited.

"I didn't expect that I could still come back alive either," Li Lin smiled faintly.

"Come in with me quickly, and tell me how you survived the great disaster," Bai Mei pulled Li Lin into the valley.

"Is he really a disciple of our sect? Why is Elder Bai Mei so excited? What's the story?" A group of disciples guessed curiously.

Following Elder Bai Mei into the valley, Li Lin was also extremely shocked by everything that appeared before his eyes. Inside the valley, there was a different scenery.

Walking into the valley, amidst the continuous mountains, there was a huge flat ground that seemed to have been directly leveled, with continuous buildings standing on the ground, the streets were crowded with people, there were many shops, bustling with noise and excitement. In the distance, many towering peaks could be faintly seen.

Around, there was a winding valley surrounding it, like a natural barrier.

"Nice to meet you, Elder Bai."

Along the way, many disciples paid their respects to Elder Bai Mei, also curiously sizing up Li Lin.

"Is this Yunyang Sect?" Li Lin was somewhat surprised. This Yunyang Sect really seemed like a bustling town, which was somewhat different from what he had imagined.

Along the way, Elder Bai Mei was also somewhat excitedly introducing to Li Lin that the Yunyang Sect had many disciples. In the entire Yunyang mountain range, there were more than 20,000 disciples. Since it was far from the city, the foot of the mountain allowed ordinary disciples to open shops freely.

These shops were of all kinds, selling everything. In some ways, it also solved the problem of living supplies for the Yunyang Sect to a certain extent.

However, opening a shop was not an easy task. It required meeting certain conditions. After walking through several streets, Li Lin followed Elder Bai Mei into a courtyard. The decoration inside the courtyard was very luxurious but not ostentatious. Just after sitting down in a small hall, Elder Bai Mei began to ask Li Lin about the past year and a half.

Li Lin still subtly shared half of what he had discussed with Wang Mingyue and others, making it reasonable. Elder Bai Mei did not have the slightest doubt.

As for the matter of the Saintly Hand Spirit Venerable, Li Lin naturally knew he could not tell anyone, nor could he reveal anything about the Flying Spirit Gate.

Then Elder Bai Mei also told Li Lin about some situations in the Yunyang Sect, and also about Li Wushuang's situation after Li Lin fell off the cliff.

"Good lad, you really have a big life. It's good that you're alive. I don't have to worry about letting your father down now. By the way, I'll send someone to notify the Li family immediately," Elder Bai Mei said.

"There's no need, Elder Wang has already sent someone," Li Lin said.

"Elder Bai, can I see Sister Wushuang?" Li Lin asked.

"That might be difficult for now. Wushuang just went down the mountain five days ago. It's not easy for her to go down the mountain again. She is now a direct disciple, and recently, all the direct disciples are practicing hard, preparing for the triennial meeting of the Three Sects and Four Gates, so she cannot leave the mountain. This is the sect master's rule," Elder Bai Mei said.

"Could Elder Bai Mei think of a way?" Li Lin hesitated before asking, knowing that Li Wushuang had been worried about him for over a year and wanted to reassure her as soon as possible.

"Although she can't see you, I can go tell her. If Wushuang knows you're alive, she will be very happy," Bai Mei said, and then remembered something, adding, "Lin'er, you are a tri-system martial artist. It wasn't difficult for you to become a direct disciple last time, but unfortunately, an accident occurred, making you miss the opportunity. I'll go notify Wushuang and also make a trip to the sect to see if I can make you a direct disciple."

This tale has been unlawfully lifted from Royal Road. If you spot it on Amazon, please report it.

"Thank you very much, Elder Bai," Li Lin said, not in a hurry in his heart. After all, with Elder Yu in the sect, becoming a direct disciple was no problem for him. The only condition to become a direct disciple was to become a disciple of an elder, and he had already been reserved by Elder Yu.

"Right, you'll also need to participate in the assessment. You just need to work hard. For the time being, you'll live in..." Elder Bai Mei thought for a moment before saying, "You'll live in courtyard number 806. A room just became available there, so you'll have a place to stay."

"Thank you, Elder Bai," Li Lin bowed.

"Your father and I are old acquaintances, so you don't need to be so formal with me," Bai Mei patted Li Lin's shoulder and said, then lightly called out to the door, "Someone come."

"Elder Bai, what are your orders?" A disciple of Yunyang Sect had already walked in respectfully.

"Go find Peng Chuanxiong for me, tell him I have something to discuss with him," Elder Bai Mei finished speaking, and the disciple hurried out.

Subsequently, through his conversation with Elder Bai Mei, Li Lin gained a general understanding of the entire Yunyang Sect, which was far more complex than he had originally imagined.

"Elder Bai, did you call for me?" A moment later, the young man in black that Li Lin had seen outside the mountain gate had already arrived in the courtyard.

"Peng Chuanxiong, you also live in courtyard number 806, right? This is Li Lin. He'll be staying with you for now. You take him and make arrangements," Elder Bai Mei said to the young man in black.

"Yes, Elder Bai," Peng Chuanxiong took another look at Li Lin, seemingly puzzled by Li Lin's origins and his unusual relationship with Elder Bai, then led Li Lin away from Elder Bai's courtyard.

"Brother Lin'er, I didn't expect you to really be a disciple of the sect. I apologize for any offense before. Don't take it to heart. From now on, we're a team. If you need my help, just say the word. Oh, and just call me Chuanxiong from now on."

"Brother Chuanxiong, you're too polite," Li Lin smiled faintly, thinking to himself that Peng Chuanxiong seemed quite enthusiastic.

"Brother Lin'er, there are now four people living in courtyard number 806, and with you, that makes five. All courtyards house five people, but you should be prepared, our courtyard number 806 doesn't have a very good reputation," Peng Chuanxiong said.

"Not a very good reputation?" Li Lin became curious.

"That, you'll find out later. I hope you can get used to it," Peng Chuanxiong smiled helplessly, then pointed to a large complex of buildings ahead, saying, "Brother Lin'er, this is where we ordinary disciples live. Each courtyard has a number, divided into male and female areas. To the side is the canteen, to the right is the practice field. Every seven days, an external elder will guide our cultivation."

Following the direction Peng Chuanxiong pointed, Li Lin saw a dense cluster of small courtyards, not very large, but numerous when connected together.

"Here we are, this is it." Under Peng Chuanxiong's lead, Li Lin arrived at a small courtyard, not very large, but quite clean.

Inside the courtyard, there was a small hall and five rooms, decorated simply but decently.

"Brothers, we have a new brother today." In the small hall, Peng Chuanxiong called out, and at that moment, three young men were inside, all around twenty years old.

"A new brother." The three young men immediately turned their heads to look at Li Lin, who had just walked into the hall.

"Brother Lin'er, let me introduce you. This is Yue Buqun, this is Lai Yuejing, and this is Yang Wei," Peng Chuanxiong introduced the three young men to Li Lin.

Li Lin's gaze swept over the three young men. They were all about the same height, looking from the left side, the first was slightly taller, with the most robust physique, wearing a white long shirt that seemed a bit small, as if the muscles were about to burst out. He had thick eyebrows and big eyes, exactly the Yue Buqun that Peng Chuanxiong mentioned.

The second was slightly shorter, with dark skin and a powerful aura, small eyes showing a shrewdness, this was Lai Yuejing (Lai Menstruation) that Peng Chuanxiong mentioned.

The third was of average height, but his physique was round, probably between 1.73 to 1.75 meters tall, weighing at least 250 pounds, his eyes squinting because of the fat, this was Yang Wei (Impotence) that Peng Chuanxiong mentioned.

"Yue Buqun, Lai Yuejing, Yang Wei." Li Lin, hearing these three names, was stunned, wanting to laugh but feeling embarrassed to do so. These three people's names were indeed quite special, the most normal now seemed to be Peng Chuanxiong.

"This is Li Lin, Brother Lin'er, from now on, you'll live with us," Peng Chuanxiong said to the three.

"Welcome to number 806," the three said enthusiastically.

Li Lin smiled faintly, thinking to himself that these people were quite enthusiastic, but the strength of these four was average. Except for Peng Chuanxiong, who was at the third level of Martial Master, the other three were at the first level of Martial Master.

Li Lin did not know that for those around twenty years old, reaching the Martial Master level was already considered talented. In the outside world, it was extremely rare for disciples of small sects and factions around twenty years old to reach the Martial Master level.

"Please take good care of me in the future," Li Lin said lightly, guessing that he would be living under the same roof with these people for a while.
