Both Mu Gong and I turned in the direction of the voice that asked this question. Even without turning, I already recognized the voice and knew who was asking this question. It was Rose, Leaf's mother. I didn't say anything as I turned to look at Mu Gong, waiting to hear what answer he would give. But the one that he actually gave caught me off guard. Not just that, it caught everyone off guard. This was an answer that not a single person was able to expect. With a chuckle, Mu Gong just said, "I wanted to take him as a disciple, but he told me that he didn't want to take me as a master. In the end, I had no choice but to use a trick to take him as an in name disciple." Looks of shock appeared on both the faces of Zi Jun and Rose, while mildly disturbed looks appeared on the faces of the others. There were also some that were hiding in the shadows still that had looks of shock on their faces. The ones that were shocked were those that knew Mu Gong's true identity, so it was natural that they would be shocked when they heard that someone denied the opportunity to become his disciple. They were further shocked when they heard that he had to use tricks to make Lin Fan his in name disciple. The others that were slightly disturbed knew that Mu Gong wasn't normal after the clash with Zi Jun. So they were just shocked that someone like Lin Fan had turned down the offer to be his disciple. As for me, I just looked at Mu Gong with a strange look. From my understanding of this old man, I knew that he had said this on purpose. It even seemed like he had done this because he wanted to tease me. After all, he was looking at me with a smile after he said this. I really didn't know what this old man was thinking since all of the things that he did were things that he did randomly without any explanation. I had no idea what his true plans were with the random way that he acted. Seeing that he didn't say anything else, it wasn't as if there was anything else that they could ask him. It was already pushing it a bit to ask this question, but Rose couldn't help herself. And after she received the answer to this question, she couldn't help feeling like she was filled with regret. One side was a World Summoner who was part of a guild that was stronger than hers, but the other side was a World Guardian. No matter how one looked at it, it was the World Guardian's value that was greater. That was just how rare they were in the first place and also how much power they wielded. It was to the point where the normally strong and calm Rose couldn't help complaining to herself, "If you have this kind of identity, why would you hide it?" If she knew earlier, then she wouldn't be filled with this kind of regret right now. Seeing that no one was going to say anything, Mu Gong suddenly looked up to say, "How long are you guys going to keep hiding like that? Why not come out and declare the winner already?" Everyone was pulled back from their daze when they heard this and they looked in the same direction that Mu Gong did. After a moment of silence, there were five people that appeared. Sёarᴄh the Novelƒire(.)ne*t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. All five of them had awkward looks on their faces as they floated down, but that didn't stop them from acting like they were still in charge. After giving nods of acknowledgement to Mu Gong, the one that was leading the five of them said, "We'll announce the standings now." I couldn't help being surprised by the way that they acted. After all, I immediately recognized who these five were. All of them were important people to our country. Two of them were World Summoners affiliated with the country, one was the president of the Summoner Association branch in our country, one was the head of the country's military and a World Summoner himself, and the final one that led this group was the president of the country. They were the top people of this country and they still had to show reverence to Mu Gong. That just went to show how heavy of a title the title of World Guardian was. After they said this, there was a screen that appeared in front of everyone. On this screen, there was a list of names and the number of points that they obtained. I didn't even bother looking at the bottom, I just went right to the top. Team Mystery. That was the name that was at the top of the list and it was the name of our team. The points that we had was actually triple the points of the second place team, which just went to show how many points the Boss Monster of the dungeon was worth. Right after us were the five top contender teams and it seemed that they were pretty evenly matched since all of them had taken part in the fight against the Elite Monsters. In fact, it was surprising that the Fire God Team wasn't that far behind. They must have taken care of one of the other Elite Monsters that I didn't meet. Once the list appeared, it seemed like everyone's attention had been drawn by it. It was only Mu Gong who looked at the five judges that appeared and asked, "When can you bring out the prizes? We want to go as soon as possible." Others might not be able to talk to the five of them like this, but he certainly could. All they could do was reveal awkward looks and take out the prize in the end. With a wave of his hand, the prizes flew over, but they didn't go to Mu Gong. Rather, they went over to me. I just took them awkwardly and put them away without even looking at them since I already knew what they were. And after that, Mu Gong waved his hand to create a portal to bring us away. He didn't seem to care at all about what anyone else thought as he brought us away. That was because…Mu Gong could see the way that they were looking at his in name disciple. He wasn't going to let anyone take Lin Fan from him.
