To tell the truth, Zhong Yutao's sudden plea to become an apprentice somewhat exceeded Wang Hao's expectations. After all, look at how grown the man is, becoming beet red and excitedly shouting to be an apprentice—it was all a bit dreamlike...
Actually, taking him on as an apprentice would be a good thing since having one more apprentice meant one more path—but the crux of the matter was, Wang Hao's particular skill was something only he could use, the "Jade Eye" simply couldn't be passed on to someone else.
"Ah, Master Zhong, look at you," Wang Hao quickly extracted his arm and said, "This is just a hobby of mine. You're really taking it too seriously, it's unnecessary, unnecessary. If you'd like, we could exchange and discuss our work in the future, but as for you becoming my apprentice, I really couldn't!"
