Ling Tianyu took out the Spiritual Staff upon hearing this, and the staff extended.
The Jade Pendant hung securely on it.
The Tendril Emperor saw this and simply laughed, "Your mentor finds it difficult to agree to your departure, doesn't he?"
Ling Tianyu toyed with the staff in his hand, then put it away. He took a sip of wine and said, "He didn't agree, nor did my grandmaster. Ultimately, it was decided by my ancestor."
"It's understandable," said the Tendril Emperor. "They treat you as their own, so naturally, they don't want you to take risks."
"Still, I'm quite surprised that you've managed to take this step."
"At the very least, you are showing me the path of a powerful figure's rise."
"In fact, you're already at your mentor's level."
"Otherwise, they wouldn't have let you go, which shows what?"
"It indicates that they already regard you as equal to your mentor."
Ling Tianyu drank his wine and said, "Let them be. It's not such a big deal anyway."
