Chapter 285: What ill intentions could I have by inviting you for a drink?

Zhang San clinked cups with Pharaoh, then whispered, "Master, next time we drink, get some hearty dishes. You've only got a plate of peanuts here, not even a piece of meat."

Pharaoh glanced at Zhang San and nudged the peanuts towards himself.

"Take it or leave it."

"I didn't say I didn't like it!"

Zhang San pulled the plate of peanuts back towards himself a little.

"Master, what did you want to see me for?"

Pharaoh lowered his voice and said, "After I returned, I did not tell them that I've taken a new closed-door apprentice. So, your identity must also remain a secret for now."

Zhang San knew that Pharaoh must have his own plans, so he continued to listen intently.

"You are my Pharaoh's closed-door apprentice and will inherit my position as the leader of Legalism, leading it. Therefore, you must make the heads of the four families of Legalism submit to you, or at the very least, build up a level of complete trust for now."
