"You're impatient, kid," Mr. Burn chuckled, though his expression quickly hardened into solemnity.
"In the name of the thirty-sixth generation Sect Master and the Supreme Elder of the Azure Origin Dao Sect, I hereby wish to accept you as my direct disciple."

He had been bracing for a drink order, a casual request for wine, but never imagined this: Mr. Burn, the Supreme Elder, wanted to accept him as his personal disciple.
Becoming the personal disciple of Mr. Burn was no trivial mark — it would elevate Ethan's status to a level equal to that of the Empress herself.
Yet Ethan was not hungry for power or station.
Still, if he became Mr. Burn's direct disciple, he would be the Empress's junior brother — making him the master uncle of Seraphina.
