"Mr. Chen, haven't I already sent someone to notify you that today is the day Xiao takes office? Why hasn't a single person shown up?"
It was clear that Yang Ling had also noticed something amiss and spoke with veiled hints.
His status meant he couldn't say some things outright.
Chen Shuiwen exactly seized on this point, rubbed his bald head, and smiled, "Unfortunately, today happens to be the disciples' time for quiet cultivation. Everything must prioritize their practice. I believe Xiao shares this sentiment, don't you think so, Xiao?"
Quiet cultivation?
The entire Xiaoshanhe Institute, thousands of people cultivating quietly at the same time?
Are you fucking kidding me?
Xiao Yi sneered inwardly, but his face showed agreement, "Mr. Chen is right, we should indeed prioritize the disciples' cultivation."
Hearing Xiao Yi stress the words "Mr. Chen" with particular emphasis made Chen Shuiwen's eyelids twitch abruptly.
His smile also showed a moment of stiffness.
