Both Mu Gong and I turned in the direction of the voice that asked this question.
Even without turning, I already recognized the voice and knew who was asking this question.
It was Rose, Leaf's mother.
I didn't say anything as I turned to look at Mu Gong, waiting to hear what answer he would give.
But the one that he actually gave caught me off guard.
Not just that, it caught everyone off guard.
This was an answer that not a single person was able to expect.
With a chuckle, Mu Gong just said, "I wanted to take him as a disciple, but he told me that he didn't want to take me as a master. In the end, I had no choice but to use a trick to take him as an in name disciple."
Looks of shock appeared on both the faces of Zi Jun and Rose, while mildly disturbed looks appeared on the faces of the others. There were also some that were hiding in the shadows still that had looks of shock on their faces.
