Erlang's body stiffened, while Mr. Zhuang introduced him with a beaming smile, "This is my third disciple, Bai Cheng."
It was then that Lan Cheng realized something was amiss. He looked back and forth at the three children and hesitated, "Their ages…"
Although all three seemed young and about the same age, Manbao was the shortest, Bai Shanbao was a bit taller, and the tallest, Bai Erlang, was unexpectedly the third disciple…
Mr. Zhuang laughed heartily upon hearing this and joyfully explained, "It's based on the order they joined; they've also discussed this among themselves."
Lan Cheng could not help but admire Manbao even more. Being able to hold her own among two boys older than herself, at their current age, meant she won either by fighting or by using her wits.
Lan Cheng turned to his attendant and instructed him to fetch the gifts.
He knew Mr. Zhuang would bring three disciples when he received Mr. Zhuang's visiting card, so he had prepared three gifts for their meeting.
