However, Du Youqian had no intention of appearing too calculating in front of his master.
'Being "thoughtful and comprehensive" or "infallibly strategic" isn't always a good thing,' he thought.
'As a disciple, you should just focus on learning your skills and cultivating diligently. Who needs you to be thoughtful and infallibly strategic?'
'Just what are you thinking about, what are you scheming? You'd better come clean!'
Deciding to hide his true abilities, Du Youqian smiled. "Disciple guesses this must be a rival of yours, Master. Maybe he's here to cause trouble because you stole his girl?"
Du Youqian said this in a joking tone. Ma Chongyu didn't press the matter, just chuckled and said, "So there are things you don't know."
"There are many things this disciple doesn't know, which is why I need my master's guidance."
Ma Chongyu chuckled and scolded, "You little rascal. Speaking of which, this matter actually concerns you. Come with me."
