Become his disciple?
Without a doubt, Jiang Xiaobai's words instantly brought a look of bewilderment to Tang Ningshuang's face.
Xiao Yunshu also froze. She looked at Jiang Xiaobai, then at the old man sweeping the floor, unable to make sense of it for a moment.
What was Jiang Xiaobai doing?
Even if he wanted a master, he couldn't just pick some ordinary sweeper at random, could he?
"You want to take me as your master?"
The old man leaned on his broom and looked Jiang Xiaobai over, equally surprised.
"Yes!"
Jiang Xiaobai nodded earnestly. "Otherwise, all your... ahem, floor-sweeping skills would be lost!"
At those words, Tang Ningshuang and Xiao Yunshu stared at Jiang Xiaobai with even greater disbelief.
Even Feng Jitong looked utterly baffled.
Floor-sweeping skills?
Did anyone really need to take a master just to learn those?!
"Young man..."
The old man chuckled too. "I have no shortage of disciples. Besides, sweeping... doesn't need to be taught!"
"Ah!"
Jiang Xiaobai gave a deep sigh. "What a pity. A pearl left buried in dust!"
The surprise on the old man's face deepened.
Feng Jitong could no longer bear watching from the side. He looked at Jiang Xiaobai and asked, "Boy, you aren't joking, are you?"
"No!"
Jiang Xiaobai shook his head, his expression earnest. "I really do want to become his disciple!"
Indeed, the man guarded the Hidden Edge Sect's collection and had been sweeping here for more years than anyone could count.
In Jiang Xiaobai's eyes, this was clearly a mighty expert living in seclusion!
With an expert like this, he had to have a thick skin.
What if...
The old man actually taught him something? Wouldn't that give him another means of saving his life?
"Well..."
Feng Jitong still couldn't understand, but Jiang Xiaobai's earnest expression didn't
