Yue Yun's identity was truly special, his master was Master Lianshan of the Emei's three elders, strictly speaking, a peer of Master Changmei, with the two other immortals calling him Uncle Master.
However, he was taken in by Master Lianshan during external transmission and was not an official disciple but a registered disciple, tantamount to being a formal disciple's subordinate, far inferior to the direct disciples of the Emei Sect.
In his past dealings with the three immortals of the East Sea, he never dared to assume the role of an elder; they were always addressed as peers and fellow Daoists. This time, his return to the Emei Sect to acknowledge his ancestry still needed Qi Shuming's approval as the Sect Leader.
