Su Chen himself naturally knew this truth. It was not an easy thing to reject Yan Hai.
However, facing Yan Hai's questioning, he did not show any panic or guilt, and seemed very calm. This alone made people feel good about him.
Su Chen said, "Of course that's not what the general said. In fact, it's my greatest honor to be able to become your disciple. But unfortunately, I completed my apprenticeship when I was young, and I swore at that time that I would never take another person as my master again in my life. I am not talented, but I also know that I should respect my teacher and I must not break my oath."
Su Chen clasped his fists towards Yan Hai and said, "So, I can only appreciate the general's appreciation, but I hope the general will understand."
These words are well-reasoned and leave a good impression of respecting teachers and being loyal.
After Yan Hai heard this, the dissatisfaction on his face immediately disappeared, and his eyes were replaced by regret.
"So that's how it is. What a pity." Yan Hai sighed lightly.
The expressions of the others were different at this time. Some of them thought Su Chen was stupid. What was the point of respecting teachers? If he could worship Yan Hai as his teacher, he would not hesitate to betray his teacher and destroy his ancestors!
Besides, water flows to the low places and people go to the high places. If you have such a good opportunity, the best thing to do is to become Yan Hai's disciple!
Some people also admire Su Chen's character. He is a principled and moral person. Being with such a person makes you feel safe and there is no need to worry about being betrayed.
Finally, Su Chen successfully passed this level.
In fact, for Su Chen, being able to become Yan Hai's apprentice is indeed a matter of great benefits with no harm. It is equivalent to having a strong background in Daxia, and he can do whatever he wants from now on.
Unfortunately, as the successor of the True Dragon Holy Body, Su Chen is clearly prohibited from worshipping others as his master according to the True Dragon inheritance, otherwise it would be disrespectful to the True Dragon.
So Su Chen could only reluctantly refuse.
In fact, Su Chen did not have too much regret. He believed that with his talent, he could become a legend like Yan Hai in time. At most, if he walked on his own, the road would be more difficult. It did not matter much to Su Chen. He had walked through all the difficult roads.
After that, Yan Hai did not mention the matter of accepting a disciple. He was still a very open-minded person. He did not force Su Chen, nor did he embarrass Su Chen. Instead, he continued to treat him kindly and praised him generously in front of so many people.
At the end of the conversation, he gave Su Chen a number and said, "Although we can't be master and apprentice, it doesn't stop me from admiring you. If you encounter something you don't understand in the martial arts in the future, you can call me on this number."
Su Chen was truly grateful for this. He didn't act pretentiously, but took Yan Hai's business card with both hands and nodded solemnly, "I will. Thank you, General!"
"Hahaha, no need to thank me. You have made great contributions to Daxia, and this is what you deserve." Yan Hai patted Su Chen's shoulder and said with a smile: "Okay, the awarding ceremony is about to begin, let's get down to business first."
Su Chen nodded.
Then he walked out with Yan Hai.
The people left in the room looked at their backs standing side by side, their faces filled with extreme envy, jealousy and hatred.
Especially Wen Ren Mu, his eyes couldn't help but turn red and bloodshot when he stared at Su Chen.
When Su Chen refused Yan Hai's offer to be his disciple just now, he thought Su Chen was going to be in trouble. Unexpectedly, not only did Su Chen not suffer any misfortune, but he continued to be appreciated and cultivated by Yan Hai!
In this way, Su Chen's background is no less than his!
But how? He was able to have the status he has today only after going through hard struggles and countless life-and-death experiences on the battlefield.
And Su Chen, he didn't do anything, just flattering Yan Hai, and he got Yan Hai's appreciation, why?!
He was not convinced, very unconvinced!
Especially when he thought that not long ago, Su Chen was a murderer wanted by Da Xia and almost died at his hands... he felt even more unbalanced.
Without saying too much, Su Chen was able to become a hero this time because of him! If he hadn't agreed to Su Chen at that time, then Su Chen would never be able to wash away the charges against him in his life, let alone become a hero, let alone be appreciated by Yan Hai!
I regret it.
At this moment, a feeling of regret swept over Wen Ren Mu's body, making him feel even more resentful and hateful towards Su Chen.
Of course, he wasn't stupid enough to show his hostility. He hid it tightly, suppressed it, and only released it deep in his heart.
From an outsider's perspective, they might even think that he was happy for Su Chen and that he was a very generous person.
The subsequent awarding ceremony was carried out as scheduled. The national general Yan Hai praised Su Chen in front of the people of the whole country, and explained to Su Chen that his previous wanted list was a complete misunderstanding, clearing his name.
Then he personally awarded Su Chen the Medal of Hero.
At this moment, Su Chen became the focus of the entire audience. All eyes were on him. For a moment, there was thunderous applause, and everyone was clapping loudly.
"Su Chen!"
"Su Chen!"
"Su Chen!!"
There were tens of thousands of people gathered in the stadium. At this moment, they were all shouting Su Chen's name in unison, cheering for him, waving their arms for him, and congratulating him.
Su Chen stood on the stage, facing the audience and the crowds of people coming from all directions. He could clearly feel the heat wave, as well as the heavy gazes and admiration.
In Su Chen's eyes, time seemed to slow down. The movements of the audience in front of him became slow. At the same time, their cheers were also stretched out, like a slow-motion picture.
