<p>I have checked a few sources, in many cases it is just <code>disciple</code> without any adjective. <code>Personal disciple</code> is used in some cases, and sometimes <code>direct disciple</code>, like @leo4jc pointed out. <code>Immediate disciple</code> is another variant. </p>

<p>I'm not sure how to say it words, but I believe that they are disciples that get things personally passed down by their master and they have a very close relationship with them. However, is there any specific word that can describe it in English?</p>

Would you add some more information about the context? Martial arts, buddhism, something else? In Buddhism, it might be 'dharma heir' the word you are looking for, but I am not sure, what is your subject domain.

I have checked a few sources, in many cases it is just `disciple` without any adjective. `Personal disciple` is used in some cases, and sometimes `direct disciple`, like @username_2 pointed out. `Immediate disciple` is another variant.

In my deleted answer, without knowing the context, I wrote 'dharma heir' (Buddhism), but that doesn't apply to wuxia, of course.
