After Master Liu Ziyun left, Grandmaster Hu personally escorted him out of the cave residence, and Li Shiming was left behind by Grandmaster Hu, clearly indicating that Grandmaster Hu wanted to speak with Li Shiming alone.
"Sit down anywhere!" Grandmaster Hu said with a wave of his hand after returning to the cave residence once he had seen his guest off.
Li Shiming sat down, waiting for Grandmaster Hu's instructions.
"Actually, I didn't want you to join Central State Commerce!" Grandmaster Hu's first words made Li Shiming a bit uneasy.
Li Shiming had clearly seen how Grandmaster Hu behaved while Master Liu Ziyun was present, and it was not as indifferent as his words now suggested.
Grandmaster Hu evidently approved of Li Shiming becoming a Guest Elder of Central State Commerce, otherwise how could Li Shiming have chosen to join Central State Commerce and become a Guest Elder without knowing much about it!
