"...In the presence of our revered ancestors and my honored teacher, I observe young Lou Yi with a pure heart and excellent conduct, a top-notch talent...
Today, standing in for the master, I make an agreement to accept him as a direct disciple of the Treasure Vase Lineage, and in the future, he will surely expand and glorify our lineage..."
In front of a golden statue of an elder placed on a mahogany table, two red candles were 'sizzling' as they burned, their flames flickering up and down, while blue smoke curled from the incense burner nearby.
A group of people was kneeling below, each with a solemn expression, filling the side room to capacity.
Zhou Xinghai, the Vein Master of the Treasure Vase Lineage, knelt at the forefront with new disciple Lou Yi.
Once the initiation ceremony was completed, Zhou Xinghai warmly helped Lou Yi to his feet and smiled, "From now on, we are family, my brother."
"Indeed, senior brother," Lou Yi also smiled.
