Truthfully, seeing Shen Tu Nantian sit amongst the Lin family’s upper echelons as if he was half the owner of the Lin family, they felt extremely uncomfortable. They were only worried that Shen Tu Nantian would one day become an in-law of the Lin family, that is why they could not offend him, so instead they had patiently appeared polite on the surface.
“This, *cough*…” Su Jie stroke his beard as he blushed. He opened his mouth and although he wanted to take credit for this, and had always been thick-skinned, there was no way for him to really take credit for Yi Yun’s current achievements.
“Actually… I only took in this disciple midway for a couple of months. As for really teaching him, I only taught him the Mystic Crystal Hand two months ago. And I only taught him for a day. To have such results… truthfully, this does not have much to do with me.”
Everyone knew that Su Jie had taken in Yun Yantian as an in-name disciple. An in-name disciple meant that he would not receive the core teachings of his master.
Clearly, Su Jie had not imparted Yun Yantian with any true ability. It could even be said that Su Jie had never intended to really take in Yun Yantian in as a disciple from the beginning.
Under these circumstances, Su Jie naturally could not lie with his eyes wide open.
He had regretted taking in Yi Yun only as an in-name disciple. Was this not going to make people say behind his back, that he failed to see even though he had eyes!?
“Haha, Elder Su sure is modest. Regardless, our young friend Yun is a talent that Elder Su discovered. Even if he is not from the Lin family, if he can mature in our Lin family, it would be joyous news!”
At this moment, an old but amiable voice sounded. The person who spoke was the Lin family’s Matriarch!
In the Lin family, the Matriarch had the final say in internal affairs. Other than those grand elders who dedicated themselves to cultivating and cared nothing for the worldly affairs, whatever the Matriarch said was not questioned in the Lin family.
