Kong Ye didn't know whether to applaud this disciple's cleverness or laugh at his reaction.
Initially, he was feeling rather hesitant to paint himself as the interested party, since that wouldn't exactly befit his status as an Elder, putting him at a disadvantageous position. Usually, things were the other way around when it came to the Elders of the sect who had special skills to pass on.
Most disciples begged them for a chance to learn under their wings. But Kong Ye was much more desperate than those disciples. His future was on the line!
So he had decided to cast aside his dignity and shamelessly tell these children that he'd like to have them as his apprentices. But Han Xuhan had spared him the embarrassment.
This one incident alone was enough to elevate Han Xuhan's importance in Kong Ye's heart. Which Master didn't cherish a smart disciple well-versed in worldly affairs?
Meanwhile, Han Xuhan noticed Kong Ye's accepting smile and immediately switched his tone.
