If I push it any further and make Lu Zhong lose heart, this could backfire!
Fang Mu stepped forward, pulled Lu Zhong up, and said earnestly,
"Master Lu Zhong, I cannot bear the weight of such a tribute!"
"I will endeavor to ask my Master for help, something I have never done since he took me as his disciple."
"I believe he will be willing to do this, out of favor for me!"
Discreetly, Fang Mu strengthened his standing in the eyes of others.
Fang Mu's actions were as much for Lu Zhong as for Shui Miao and Shu Liangjun.
From this point forward, it wouldn't matter how many Grandmaster Creator resources he brought up, Lu Zhong, Shui Miao and Shu Liangjun would no longer be taken aback.
Upon hearing Fang Mu's words, a renewed light shone in Lu Zhong's faded eyes.
He continually expressed his gratitude towards Fang Mu.
After comforting Lu Zhong, Fang Mu's face still held an expression of difficulty.
This made Lu Zhong feel even more grateful towards Fang Mu.
