"Leader, that person just now..."
The elder's words left Lin Ye speechless. He hadn't expected the sect leader to be so generous.
Although Lin Ye had been moved by it, he had no intention of taking advantage of the situation.
Before, he'd only wanted to get a little information about the sect leader's strength. If he really wanted to test it, he'd have to do so in a proper spar.
While he had his own thoughts, the others were completely stunned.
The sect leader had made such a generous offer, but Lin Ye had turned it down.
"Is this kid an idiot?"
"You know how much that opportunity is worth? The sect leader's guidance is something even the disciples who've been in the sect for years can only dream of."
"An opportunity like this is something other people would fight over, yet he turned it down without even thinking."
"He really doesn't know what's good for him."
The disciples couldn't help whispering among themselves. They had thought Lin Ye would immediately accept, only to see him refuse.
After a while, one of the elders spoke up.
"Since Lin Ye has declined, we shouldn't force him. The sect leader's offer still stands. If you ever change your mind, you can come find me."
"To be safe, you should still think it over carefully. This is a rare opportunity."
Hearing the sect leader's words, Lin Ye nodded.
"Thank you, Sect Leader. I'll keep it in mind."
"Good."
The sect leader nodded, then turned his gaze toward the others.
"Let's head back."
Before long, everyone had returned to the main hall.
After probing Lin Ye's strength, the elders and the sect leader had gained a rough idea of what he was capable of.
But they still hadn't expected him to be so powerful.
