Even so, Yao Tang was unfazed. She looked Elder Nie in the eye and said, "I think what Teacher said makes perfect sense."
"What?! This man is your teacher?"
Elder Nie's surprised gaze darted up and down President Tan as he carefully sized the latter up.
In the past, he never even bothered to meet President Tan's eye. To say that his impression of the man had changed drastically would be an understatement.
The apprenticeship banquet had only been a few hours ago.
When he saw the smug look those old geezers had been sporting, Elder Nie immediately assumed that they were proud of Yao Tang for overcoming the challenges and becoming their apprentice.
But now she was saying that her teacher was just some low-ranked member of the association?
If that was truly the case, then why in the world would those Cabinet Elders even agree to share their pupil with President Tan?
Once again, Elder Nie found himself in a quandary.
