One step...
Two steps...
As Xiao Yan kept walking out of the wooden hut toward the door, he secretly broke out in a cold sweat. Damn it, could this old man really have such incredible patience...?
Xiao Yan had been extremely uneasy about his decision just now, and his heart was filled with apprehension. Elder Zhu's strength was unfathomable, and judging by Xiao Yan's senses, Elder Zhu truly was an Array Master. An Array Master with such immense Spiritual Power and strength was an utterly terrifying existence.
Moreover, both strength and array mastery were things Xiao Yan wanted to learn.
An opportunity like this would not come twice. Still, Xiao Yan did not want to become Elder Zhu's disciple so easily. No matter what, he had to extort a hefty price from him first!
As for taking a master, Xiao Yan was helpless about it. If it had been anything else, he probably would have agreed long ago. But becoming a disciple was no trivial matter. Once he acknowledged a master, it would impose great restrictions upon him. That was why Xiao Yan had lingering fears and could not agree so casually.
Just as Xiao Yan could no longer hold back and was about to reach the door before turning around, a faint sigh sounded.
"You brat..."
"You truly are stubborn beyond redemption..." Elder Zhu said slowly.
"Come back. I won't force you to become my disciple. If you join my lineage, you will still be free and won't be bound by anything. In the future, you can study under me. I will speak to the Human Hall on your behalf, but first, you must agree to one condition," Elder Zhu said slowly.
"What condition..." Hearing Elder Zhu's voice, the heavy stone pressing on Xiao Yan's heart finally fell away.
