"You really did!" Lin Jian said exasperatedly. "I won't lie to you! This disciple doesn't dare!" To tell the truth... the old man really didn't agree to anything. When he asked previously, the old man only hummed without giving him a direct answer. The only way to make him agree was like how Lin Jian successfully became his disciples --- foods, wines, blurry minds, and saying something to convince the old man (while he was intoxicated) that Lin Jian was telling the truth. Yep... this was the trick that Lin Jian had perfectly learned over the years.
The old man pondered over the matter for a little while and he seemed to recall that Lin Jian indeed wanted him to take someone as a disciple. Was it the youngster beside him? "Is that him?" The old master asked loudly.
"Yes, Shi Fu[1]. His name is Yao Ying. He's my new best friend --- Uncle Wang's son," Lin Jian introduced Yao Ying.
"Hmmm... that Little Wang's son?"
"Yes," Lin Jian said eagerly.
