The prince stood up suddenly and walked around the table. Confused, Sheng Tian watched as the prince got closer, before suddenly kneeling onto the ground with his forehead pressed against the floor.
"Please take me as your disciple!"
His request was something Sheng Tian had expected, however, he didn't think the prince would kneel down to an outsider he had met for an hour at most.
Sheng Tian stood up uncomfortably, "Your Highness... please stand up"
Unrelenting, Xia Jian remained kneeling, only picking up his head slightly, "I won't stand if you don't give an answer now"
"I'll refuse if you don't stand up now," Sheng Tian shot back.
Hearing this, Xia Jian immediately scrambled to stand up. Within seconds, he was standing straight up before Sheng Tian, akin to a soldier being called upon by a general.
Sheng Tian gestured towards the chairs, "Let us sit and talk, there is no need for all this flair"
