"Please, don't take offense. My teacher is just like that!" Shen Haoran said, cupping his fist to the Elders and Wan Fa Ancestor after guessing Elder Yan's intentions. 'Since Elder Yan put on this show for my sake, I should play along and see it through to the end.'
"It's no trouble. We just didn't realize Nephew Shen had a teacher who is a Spirit Emperor Tier expert. That is truly your good fortune!" the Grand Elder of the Valley of Heartlessness said, stepping forward and waving his hand at Shen Haoran. They could only say as much now. Otherwise, were they supposed to blame Shen Haoran's teacher? 'What a joke. He's a Spirit Emperor Level expert. Getting so much as a glance from him is already a great honor.'
Shen Haoran merely smiled at the Grand Elder's words and said nothing more. 'Sometimes, the more you say, the more flaws you reveal. It's better to stay silent right now.'
