"Sorry, but it's not convenient for me to tell you." Before Lu Leng could answer, Hu Liena spoke first.
She watched Qin Ming warily. They had slipped out in secret, and it would be troublesome if anyone discovered their identities. Lu Leng had little experience in the world, and she worried he would be easily coaxed into revealing too much.
"My apologies. I was too abrupt. May I ask who you are?" Qin Ming first cupped his hands in apology, then looked at Hu Liena.
"My name is Hu." This was also Hu Liena's alias.
Both of them were using false names, but Qin Ming did not mind. Almost everyone in the Soul Fighting Arena used aliases.
"Miss Hu, please do not misunderstand. I saw Brother Leng's talent and wished to make his acquaintance, so I came over to meet him. Besides, I am a few years older than the two of you. It would not be wrong to say that I cherish talent, so I rashly asked. If Brother Leng does not belong to an academy, or if he has already enrolled somewhere, then I believe it would be a waste of his talent." Qin Ming patiently explained, trying to put things as tactfully as possible so that he would not seem so unpleasant.
"A waste?" Hu Liena found it rather amusing. By saying that, is he looking down on Spirit Academy?
"Yes, a waste!" Qin Ming remained neither servile nor overbearing, supremely confident.
"You mean you think I could develop better?" Lu Leng suddenly became curious.
"Yes." Qin Ming nodded.
"Are you from a sect or an academy?" Lu Leng asked, while continuously searching his memories for any power with the surname Qin.
But after thinking for a long time, he could not remember any sect surnamed Qin.
