The Hall Master purposely ended his words here, wanting to see how Xiao Chifeng would respond.
Seeing Xiao Chifeng being so responsive now, the Hall Master's face became gentler.
However, the Hall Master didn't let him off so easily, continuing to sternly admonish him, "Lad, this is just the beginning. If you want to be worthy of Qingcong, and if you want to walk alongside her, you will need to work hard. Otherwise, given Qingcong's talents and my training, she will eventually overtake you; or rather, you will fail to keep up with her, and will get eliminated by the survival-of-the-fittest rule among humans. Do you understand what I'm saying?"
Xiao Chifeng nodded seriously, "I understand! Father-in-law, rest assured, for Congcong, I will exert all my strength to improve myself. If one day, I truly become complacent, feel free to discard me at any moment. However, I won't give you that chance, father-in-law!"
