Chu Ge nodded, holding his tea but not drinking it, lost in thought.
"Mr. Chu, did you breakthrough to Innate Grandmaster on your trip to Su City?" Mr. Sima curiously inquired.
He always felt that Chu Ge was different now, exuding a regal presence both in temperament and aura.
Chu Ge nodded, "The trip to Su City was indeed not as simple as I imagined. I was careless and someone exploited that, sealing my martial arts. But fortunately, I encountered Master Guangde who helped me recover my martial skills and breakthrough to Innate Grandmaster."
Chu Ge didn't tell them he was now at the Mid-stage Innate Grandmaster.
However, just knowing the four words 'Innate Grandmaster' was enough to shock and thrill Mr. Ouyang and Mr. Sima.
They both stood up, bowed with hands clasped, and respectfully said to Chu Ge, "Congratulations, Mr. Chu."
The higher the mastery, the more respect they gave—a principle Chu Ge understood. However, he found their constant bowing a bit too much to handle.
