Lü Zhong froze, completely stunned.
He gave a wry, internal laugh. 'How am I supposed to respond to this?'
His first instinct was to cast Malice Detection. After all, a windfall like this seemed too good to be true. There was usually a hidden agenda, and he had to be on his guard.
But on second thought, he dismissed the idea.
She was a Foundation Establishment Cultivator, after all; it wouldn't be difficult for her to notice such a subtle technique. If he ended up offending this master he'd so conveniently acquired, it would only lead to trouble. It was better to wait and see what happened first.
Besides, he was a disciple of the Heling Sect.
'Surely, no matter what, they wouldn't let me walk right into a trap?'
With that in mind, Lü Zhong decided to accept.
"This disciple, Lü Zhong, pays his respects to Master!" Lü Zhong declared, sensibly performing a deep bow of obeisance.
