Only after a long while did Luo Chen finally speak.0

“Qu Lingjun. Do you know why I had you kneel here all night?”1

Whew...0

The boy didn’t answer immediately; instead, he exhaled slowly, as if a great weight had been lifted. His entire posture loosened, and he looked up with a broad, boyish grin.0

“If the President told me to do it, then it’s definitely for my own good.”0

Uhh... Luo Chen couldn’t help but twitch at that. Wasn’t this supposed to be a solemn back-and-forth with deep meaning before getting to the main topic...?0

Damn it, the tone’s completely falling apart.0

Luo Chen waved his hand, clearly growing impatient. With a flick of his fingers, three items floated down through the air, landing gently before Qu Lingjun.0

The boy's eyes lit up instantly, unable to conceal his excitement as he stared at the objects hovering before him.0

"From this day forth, you are my disciple!"2

Without a moment’s hesitation, Qu Lingjun dropped to his knees and pressed his forehead to the ground three times in solemn bows.

“Disciple Lingjun greets Master!”...0
