Deng Yue stood in front of Deng Jiaying and eight elders of the Deng family, feeling a certain pressure. Yet, his small, innocent face showed no signs of discomfort. He bowed deeply in respect.
"I am honored to be invited. My master instructed me to convey his best wishes," Yan Xiaobao said politely, ignoring the complaints from the birds within his Dantian, chirping, 'I've never said anything would be for such a small family.'
Nevertheless, hearing these words astonished everyone present, both the elders and juniors alike. This was the first time it was revealed that Yan Xiaobao acknowledged Li Fen as his teacher. The reason behind his decision to disclose this was a secret known only to Yan Xiaobao and Deng Wu.
The sudden revelation filled the Deng family with a renewed sense of advantage, knowing they had gained the favor of this elusive expert. They immediately resolved to keep this information confidential.
