Shi Hao had originally intended to nod along with his words, but then he thought about it, if he admitted to having taken a master yet had not moved to the mountain peak, it would naturally expose inconsistencies.
Deceiving an elder was indeed a grave crime!
Therefore, after some thought, Shi Hao said, "It is not as you say, elder. I am by nature carefree and do not wish to sully the reputation of any elder by becoming their disciple."
You can fight above your level, who wouldn't want to take you as a disciple, and such combat power would disgrace whom?
But Han Kang was no fool and naturally understood the meaning in Shi Hao's words; he simply didn't want to take him as his master.
This was unimaginable, an elder taking on a disciple, only to be rejected.
Unprecedented!
"Shi Hao, think this through carefully!" Han Kang was somewhat angry, his aura at the level of Self-Observation surged, terrifyingly inexplicable.
