I am Jiang Yi'an.
After years of studying under my master, I'm determined to become the strongest swordsman in Meng Yunzhou.
A few days ago, my master told me he was going to found a sect and build the strongest faction in the land.
But there are only the two of us in the entire sect, along with two senior brothers who've been missing for years. What is going on here?
A year later.
"Yi'an, I'll leave the whole sect in your hands. This old man is going out to swindle people... ahem, I mean, seek out kindred spirits. Take care!"
A group of bewildered disciples looked at the equally bewildered Jiang Yi'an. "Third Elder, what should we do now?"
"There's a hornet's nest on the back mountain. How about I treat everyone to some of our newly invented honey-glazed chicken today?" Jiang Yi'an forced a smile at the disciples before him.
A moment later.
"Everyone, run! The hornets are catching up!"
In the distance, a man in blue robes sprinted through the mountain gate, leaped into the air, did two and a half elegant spins, and dove gracefully into the water.
Behind him, a crowd of exhausted disciples ran for their lives, shouting, "Elder, please try to be a little more reliable!"
