This was something Ji Haoyuan had already thought about long ago.
Whether Master Binghuo accepts him as a disciple or not, he wouldn't suffer any loss.
If accepted, it would be the best outcome.
From this moment on,
at least until he truly advances to the Golden Core, he will have a powerful backing.
As for whether he should sever ties with the Ji Family after becoming Master Binghuo's disciple,
or even clearly demarcate boundaries,
for him, that kind of issue doesn't exist.
Because his very existence is already the strongest support for the entire Ji Family.
This situation is completely different from that of the Celestial Spirit Root from the Zhang Family who joined another Golden Core master of the Crimson Sunset Sect.
The other person is fundamentally still just a Qi Refining cultivator.
Everything depends on the sect and his identity as a Golden Core disciple.
Including his growth, which also completely relies on the sect and his mentor.
But Ji Haoyuan is different.
