Wise men need not repeat themselves. Xu Xing's actions made his intentions very clear. He dared to break the silence only because Giant Sword Daoist Monarch and Kuimen Daoist Lord were Sect Seniors, and Giant Sword Daoist Monarch had previously expressed an interest in accepting a disciple. But if Giant Sword Daoist Monarch and Kuimen Daoist Lord had been Dao Lords from other sects, Xu Xing would have done as he said: remained silent, kept his head down, and not dared to utter a word.
Xu Xing still did not respond, only bowing a little lower than before.
This bow was a plea.
And it was a form of pressure.
A plea for Giant Sword Daoist Monarch to allow Xu Xing into the 36 Layer Heavenly Gate Array, so he could attempt the trials and win Kuimen Daoist Lord's favor. It was also a plea for Giant Sword Daoist Monarch to bring up again the "karmic method" of accepting disciples.
Beyond that, it was pressure on Giant Sword Daoist Monarch to make a decision.
