"Qianyuan? Are you willing?"
Master Pang did not respond to Zheng Fa's question, but instead asked Zhou Qianyuan.
It was Zhou Qianyuan who, although stunned for a moment, seemed to have a rather disheartened feeling as he simply nodded and said in a muffled voice, "Willing."
"I wonder if you, my nephew, think highly of my disciple."
Upon hearing this, Zheng Fa knew he could not refuse.
At this moment, he came to understand Master Pang's intention—Zhou Qianyuan's favored status in the Jiushan Sect was nearly common knowledge.
Placing Zhou Qianyuan by his side could be seen as Master Pang's support for him as the Sect Leader's disciple.
This was somewhat akin to the presence of numerous loyal ministers' children by the side of the Crown Prince in ancient dynasties—over time, these people would become the Prince's Party.
Watching Zheng Fa take Zhou Qianyuan down the mountain,
Sun Daoyu couldn't help but ask, "Master, are you truly letting Junior Zhou follow Zheng Fa?"
