"Who else, if not me?" President Tan declared indignantly. It was all he could do not to thump his chest in pride.
Elder Li shook his head regretfully. "What a pity. Wouldn't it be a waste to leave such a promising seedling in your hands?"
"That's right, that's right. At the very least, you should choose an elder from the Cabinet as your teacher, right?" Elder Wang could not help but interrupt once again, his eyes trained on Yao Tang.
Elder Xu came up with an idea at that point, and he readily offered a suggestion. "Tangtang, since you insist on staying under your teacher's tutelage, why don't you allow us to be your mentors as well? That way, you wouldn't have to be separated from your master, and you will gain three more to guide you and help you hone your talents. What do you think?"
President Tan was pleasantly surprised by the notion. "I have no objections to this, but my apprentice is the one to make the final decision."
