Just as the friend who had mentioned seeing Master Leng earlier walked over with a toast, they casually remarked, "Is Master Leng taking on a final apprentice? It looks like he's pouring his heart and soul into teaching!"
That wasn't meant to sound bitter—it's just that ordinary students and true apprentices simply aren't the same, are they?
Her relatives had asked Leng Qiankai for favors before, but he turned them all down directly.
You couldn't tell just by looking that the young man was particularly talented.
Mrs. Leng chuckled awkwardly, "That joke's really not funny! When has he ever taken on a final apprentice? Come on, let's drink! Thank you all for coming today!"
"True! Enough messing around—cheers!"
"Alright! Cheers!"
During this time, Mrs. Leng's phone rang again. Leng Ning asked her if she was still coming to her brother's house; if not, they'd start eating without her!
Mrs. Leng told them to go ahead, she was dining out and wouldn't be heading back for a while.
