Ye Qingchen scrutinized Li Hengsheng for a moment before speaking.
Li Hengsheng's face had already turned dark.
Does this senior brother have a grudge against me?
"Don't mind him, he just talks like that. Your aptitude isn't as bad as he makes it sound, don't take it to heart," Xu Muhai quickly consoled Li Hengsheng when he saw his dark expression.
"Huh?"
Ye Qingcheng looked at Xu Muhai quizzically and said, "Not that bad? Didn't you just tell Master that Li Hengsheng's aptitude was really poor and that cultivation was tough for him?"
Upon hearing this, Xu Muhai's face also darkened, inadvertently selling himself out. Ye Qingchen was still the same as ever.
Lord Zhou couldn't help but cover his mouth, snickering on the side.
"By the way, Old Third, I brought you a gift." Ye Qingchen took something from the bundle behind him and handed it to Lord Zhou, saying, "I know you like to eat, so I specifically brought you a specialty from over at the National Guardian Mansion."
