[Yeah, but you will have to tell him the truth sooner or later.] The system suddenly spoke. [But if you are late or he finds out before you, things might become awkward.]
{Yes, you are right.} Yuan replied. {...Ok, I will tell him after returning from the competition.}
"So, what do you think, Sect Master?" Yuan asked again after his little chat with the system.
"...I will think about it." Sect Master replied after thinking a bit. "So, was that all you wanted to say?"
"...Yes," Yuan spoke.
"Ok, then you may leave." Sect Master spoke.
"Well then, take care, Sect Master." Yuan stood up, bowed in respect, and left the room.
The room became silent. Only the Sect Master's calm breaths were audible.
"Ha, disciple, you already learned to lie to your master, huh?" Sect Master said as a smirk appeared on his face. {He probably thought he could fool me!}
Thanks for the support, dear readers!
