Choosing Martial Arts

"Greetings senior," Duncan greeted the old man politely.

"Who might you be young man? I have never seen your face before here. I remember each and every one of the faces that walked into this pavilion. I can assure you that I haven't seen you here," the old man said softly, but there was an underlying layer of firm conviction in his speech.

"My name is Duncan, senior. I recently joined the sect. I have been sent here to obtain martial arts techniques to cultivate," Duncan replied.

"There weren't any sect entrance examinations lately. And that is the only time we take in mortals. Moreover, you look too old to participate in it. So, I ask you once again, who are you? Why are you here?" the old man said looking at Duncan suspiciously.

"Like I said senior, my name is Duncan. I was just enrolled in the sect. I am the sixth direct disciple of Master Tianye," Duncan introduced himself with his master's name this time.
