It actually wasn't difficult to guess General Yi's identity, so if a normal student had been directly told by General Yi that he would accept him as a disciple on the spot, he would probably already have been jumping for joy by now.
But Wang Ling hadn't agreed at all, and the best thing he could do now was maintain his silence. Actually, he had also thought before that finding a shifu to use as a shield and hide his identity was a possibility… but General Yi was in the end an old senior in the cultivation world and one of the Ten Founding Generals who had shaken the entire Huaxiu nation — someone like this next to him would really be too eye-catching.
All in all, Wang Ling concluded that his encounter with General Yi this time was a mistake… he should have been more careful.
