Ren Xuan's words left everyone from Heavenly Light Prefecture present utterly shocked.
Whether they knew him or not, they all stared at Ren Xuan in disbelief.
Especially those who knew him well. They could hardly believe that Ren Xuan would say something so defiant.
"Ren Xuan, you'd better think this through."
"We're giving you a chance because you brought talented people to Heavenly Light Prefecture."
"Don't think we're sparing you from expulsion because we value you."
"Don't get too full of yourself!" Third Elder said coldly.
"You're right. After all, I, Ren Xuan, am no longer the man I used to be."
"And because I know that, I'm all the less willing to return to Heavenly Light Prefecture."
"Since you don't take me seriously, why should I wag my tail and beg for scraps from your Heavenly Light Prefecture?"
"All you care about is the talent and potential of those three."
"So what does that make me?" Ren Xuan gave a self-deprecating smile, but his gaze at Third Elder was unwavering!
Chen Changan could tell there was a story behind Ren Xuan. Ren Xuan simply hadn't told it, and Chen Changan hadn't pressed him. But it surely had something to do with Heavenly Light Prefecture.
The other disciples nearby were also murmuring among themselves.
"What does Ren Xuan mean? What does he mean, he's no longer the man he used to be? Was he powerful once?"
"Isn't he just a Third-Class Recruitment Envoy? As far as I know, becoming a Recruitment Envoy is all well and good, but people like that are destined to have limited potential. Why does it sound like Ren Xuan's hinting at something?"
"Hey, you newcomers haven't been here long, so it's only natural you haven't heard. Ren Xuan used to be quite the shining star."
