"If it's that difficult, then don't do it!"
Frost Crown Dominator gave a cold snort.
"Chen Yan.
I've told you many times that I'm not interested in you.
Stop playing these games."
"Is that so? But I want to keep trying. What are you going to do about it?"
Dustrock Dominator didn't get angry.
Instead, he spoke with a smile, clearly intent on wearing her down.
"That's no way to pursue a woman.
If I were you, I wouldn't keep pestering her."
Xu Jingming, who had been silent until now, suddenly spoke up.
He didn't know where Dustrock Dominator had come from.
But from their conversation, he could more or less piece together what had happened.
The man was desperate for her attention.
And he kept pushing even after making her uncomfortable. That was on him.
Besides, the woman he was pestering was Jingming's teacher.
As her disciple, he naturally had to speak up for her.
"Hmm?"
Dustrock Dominator turned and looked at Xu Jingming properly for the first time.
Seeing that he was only an Initial Tribulation Dominator yet dared to interrupt, a trace of disdain and puzzlement flashed in his eyes.
"Who are you? Since when does a junior get to interrupt when Frost Crown and I are talking?"
"I'm Teacher Frost Crown's disciple, Xu Jingming."
Xu Jingming met his gaze without flinching.
"Naturally, I care about my teacher's affairs.
Besides, she's already given you a clear answer."
"Disciple?"
Dustrock Dominator was visibly taken aback.
When he had gone to the Outer Domain Battlefield tens of thousands of years ago, he hadn't known Frost Crown had a Dominator Rank disciple.
"I took him in recently."
Frost Crown Dominator's cool reply confirmed Xu Jingming's identity.
"You only took him in recently, and he's already reached Dominator Rank?"
