Within the outer city of Baojiao County, in a rather simple and rustic courtyard, Chen Ku bowed deeply:
"Master, please accept the disciple Chen Ku's salute."
Shan Lingguan's eyes were almost overflowing with joy, yet he did not immediately accept but pondered before saying:
"Although I came to find you myself and hope to take you as my apprentice, and now you have come to seek apprenticeship, there are still some words that I must tell you in advance about the origins of our Imperial Enlightenment Sect, and the results and costs of taking me as your master."
Chen Ku felt a slight shock in his heart.
But he immediately took a deep breath and said, "Please, enlighten me, elder."
Indeed, there is no such thing as a free lunch in this world.
"You don't need to be too nervous."
Seeing Chen Ku's sudden tension, Shan Lingguan chuckled softly and said:
"Let's go inside and talk slowly."
