บท 40: A Belief in Truthfulness

"Unfortunately, this disciple does not have the blessing of following the esteemed elder in this life."

He looked at the fourth peak master and expressed regret, but he wasn't really regretful. 

Although supreme elder Yang made him angry, he didn't hate the man.

In this situation where he had to choose without adequate information, Yu Nianzhen followed his instinct.

He felt more comfortable with supreme elder Yang than the fourth peak master, and his decision grew firmer after listening to them speak.

However, everyone fell silent when they heard his decision.

Other than Jiang Yue, who knew him well, everyone else expected Yu Nianzhen to choose the sword peak master.

Peak master Chu looked angry, and the sect master looked conflicted.

"Young lad, do you need more time to think about it?"
