Zhang Deming paused upon hearing this, unsure for a moment how to respond.
"Junior Brother Zhang, you don't have to give me an answer right away. The doors of the Array Department will always be open for you." With that, Fang Jixiang turned and left without a backward glance.
Zhang Deming stood there in a daze. 'Am I being poached again? And with an offer like that! If Spirit Nurturing Peak wasn't so good to me, I might have actually been tempted.'
'Hmm, wait a minute! It's just an affiliation, so maybe I can consider it?'
As Zhang Deming stood there, lost in thought, Yang Guangfu, who had led the visitor in, noticed his tempted expression and grew very serious.
He bowed to Zhang Deming and said, "If Master Zhang has no further instructions, I'll take my leave now."
Zhang Deming came back to his senses and nodded. "Go on. There's nothing else."
