Surface Master and Disciple

Emperor's eyes sparkled with determination, looking at Leo sincerely, thankful that this wasn't ancient times, otherwise Emperor would probably be kowtowing and calling Leo his master right now...

Leo shook his head, helplessly saying, "Emperor, forget it. I don't want to take on a disciple. It's not interesting and it's too much trouble."

That's right, if he were to accept Emperor as his disciple, then he would be connected to the Emperor Guild, making things more complicated for him in the future. 

Leo didn't want to have any relationship with any organization or power at the moment.

Even with the Spirit Fox Guild and the Pale Blue Guild, Leo was just close to them without any substantial relationship.

Seeing that Leo was completely unwilling to agree, Emperor's eyes flickered, saying, "Leo, I won't ask you to take me as a disciple for free. I'll pay a substantial fee for each of your lessons."
