He was stunned.
Long Ao never imagined Gu Bai would say such a thing.
'But can I really agree?'
The answer was a clear no.
With an apologetic look, Long Ao answered frankly, "I believe what you say, Hall Master, but I'm very sorry. I cannot join the Thunder National Protection Hall."
Long Ao expected Gu Bai to be angry, but to his surprise, Gu Bai wasn't furious at all. Instead, he smiled and said, "I understand."
Zhao Mang, who had been silent until now, suddenly spoke up. "Long Ao, we're aware of your circumstances, so we won't force you. As for what Hao'er did to you before, I've already put a stop to it."
Long Ao didn't reply. He couldn't stand Zhao Hao.
But since Zhao Hao's father was being so reasonable, Long Ao decided not to dwell on it. Besides, with his current strength, it was impossible for him to contend with the entire Thunder Empire, let alone the Thunder Sect that backed it.
"Your Majesty, did you summon me today for a specific reason?"
