Lin Cheng fell silent, then asked, "What kind of offer did the Cao Family make you?"
"Fifty taels of silver a month, a courtyard in the Inner City, marriage to a daughter from the main family line, Secret Martial Arts, and a one-hundred-percent guarantee of a disciple's Dragon Ascension."
Lin Cheng fell silent again, the corner of his mouth twitching.
'This kid must be incredibly cautious to resist such a good offer from the Cao Family.'
'If someone had made me an offer like that when I was young, forget becoming a follower of some top-ranked genius, I'd have called him 'Dad' on the spot.'
'A Dragon Ascension slot... Every examination, countless people lose their lives fighting for one.'
'A hopeless case.'
'He actually turned down such a good offer. It would have saved him so much trouble.'
"Do you know how much power the Cao Family wields in the Sect?" Lin Cheng asked.
Xu Yang shook his head. "I do not."
