"A-a-apprentice?"
"Zhang Xuan's apprentice?'
For a short moment, Xue Zhenyang and the others were stupefied by what they had heard.
What is going on?
Didn't you say that you would teach Zhang Xuan a lesson? How did you end up becoming his apprentice instead?
There were two types of apprentices. One type was those who were new to the occupation, having yet to receive even their 1-star emblem. They would follow an official member of the occupation and learn under them.
The other would be a lower ranked member of the occupation serving as a private apprentice to a higher ranked member.
To distinguish between the two types of apprenticeships, the latter was often known as a private apprentice.
While the goal for a private apprentice was to learn from their master, the truth was that their standing was beneath that of even a student, and they were expected to deal with all sorts of miscellaneous issues for their master.
