"Xia Lin, why did you kneel down to him just now!"
At that moment, an angry shout came from behind the two of them.
Xia Lin was suddenly startled, turning her head to look back.
Qin Jing'en, supported by He Zheng, was slowly walking towards them.
Xia Lin's face immediately changed, and with fear, she lowered her head and said, "Master, I'm sorry. Thank you for nurturing me these years, but I feel like I haven't really learned anything, so... I've decided to switch to another master."
Upon hearing this, both Qin Jing'en and He Zheng's faces turned green.
"Cough cough!"
Qin Jing'en evidently couldn't take such a blow and began to cough violently.
He Zheng, glaring at Xia Lin, cursed angrily, "Xia Lin, you ungrateful wretch. The master treated you like his own daughter all these years, and this is how you repay him!"
He had scolded her, but it was clear that He Zheng didn't want to just watch Xia Lin switch allegiance to Zhang Xiaowei.
