Han Li and Zhang Tie couldn't read, so they hadn't understood a word Doctor Mo had said.
Han Li was wary of people. He wanted to ask, but didn't dare. Zhang Tie, on the other hand, didn't care at all and said bluntly, "Doctor Mo, I couldn't remember it! I don't understand it, either!"
After finishing the incantation, Doctor Mo saw their reactions and said solemnly, "If you can master this incantation's first level within a month, you'll officially become my disciples."
Hearing that, Zhang Tie forgot he couldn't understand any of it. He acted as if he'd already been accepted and asked excitedly, "Then after I become your disciple, can I get a monthly stipend too?"
Doctor Mo was pleased by Zhang Tie's childlike sincerity, but he wanted to live a little longer, so he put that thought out of his mind and said with a smile, "Of course. My disciples are official members of the sect, too. You'll get what the other disciples get."
"That's great!"
Zhang Tie shouted excitedly, then grabbed Han Li tightly, beside himself with joy.
Han Li looked like he wanted to say something but held back. Zhang Tie noticed his expression and turned excitedly to Doctor Mo again. "Doctor Mo, Han Li and I can't read, so we can't understand or remember it. Are you only planning to take the Young Sect Master as your disciple?"
Doctor Mo had been distracted by Wang Yue's arrival, and Li Tie's words gave him a headache. After thinking it over, he said decisively, "All right, Wang Yue, go practice for now.
"Han Li, Zhang Tie! I'll teach you again. I'll recite one line, and you'll memorize it. Make sure you get every word, without missing a single one! I'll explain what it means afterward!"
