The man that talked was the eldest one in the whole group, and he was going to become 20 the next year. His name was Shang Ling, and he was brought by Xiao Jin from the South. Shang Ling showed excellent skills in martial arts, and he was ambitious. That was why Xiao Jin brought him here.
Shang Ling knew that Xiao Jin was their future master’s subordinate, and because of this, he was willing to come and join the group. He believed that his future master should be someone with abilities, who would be able to help them achieve their future ambitions, considering that a young man like Xiao Jin was already so capable.
He could not guess who their master was, only that their master was in the capital.
Since that master was in the capital, they should either be powerful or have some official titles.
He had been dreaming about that, and even if their master was a minor officer, he could still accept it, because his master was training people like him, so he should be ambitious, and his ambitions would be achieved in the future.
However, what he had not expected… was that an ambitious person like him was presented to a woman, who was younger than him! He just could not understand how she could be the master, and whether his ambitions would be achieved.
He felt disappointed and was very unconvinced.
Well…
There was one more reason – he just could not accept that a woman as old as him was his master.
So he put it straightforwardly.
He did not want to leave this place, but he could not accept this master.
He had a big ambition in his life, and this was not what he expected.
Shang Ling was extremely unconvinced as he looked at Xiao Jin.
He thought that maybe they had other masters.
Hearing what Shang Ling said, those who did not greet her added. “Yes, how can our master be a woman?”
Some complaints were heard.
Those who greeted her felt a bit confused. They did not counter as vividly, but they were still somewhat confused.
However, some were also very firm in mind.
Yiyue stepped forward and said, “So what? Women can also be masters, and there are actually women here too!”
She was furious. She understood that she should never look down at anyone, nor should they hold any prejudice.
Those people were too annoying – how could they hold prejudice against their master. She was convinced that she was going to work harder and become better than the rest of those people who looked down at women.
Shang Ling ignored Yiyue.
He did not think that he needed to speak with a young girl. He needed to insist on the title of master.
He stood motionless, as he looked at Xiao Jin resolutely.
Xiao Jin had lost his smile. He looked extremely serious, because he had been very satisfied by those trainees he had found, but he had not expected that those children would think in this way.
He became more disappointed than displeased.
Xiao Jin stood in front of them, saying, “See the yard here? The lunch? Master owns all of it. She has offered what you need, yet you are not convinced by her, just because she is a woman?
