As the crowd continued to ponder, their gazes unanimously fell onto Tuji.
Everyone was of the opinion that Tuji was sure to give Beka a piece of his mind, knowing that their head had always been a man of discipline and order.
Yet Tuji's response gave the crowd a shock once again.
"Alright!"
Tuji nodded with a smile, waving a hand at Antigonus. "Go get some rest then, since you didn't get enough sleep last night."
As he spoke, Tuji said to the crowd, "Beka's new in the Lange household, and isn't used to many things. Don't disrupt him if there's nothing urgent. Got it?"
His tone was full of warmth, as if he treated Antigonus like an honored guest.
Antigonus nodded, leaving the hall in big strides without casting a second glance at the crowd.
What…
Everyone present was frozen in place at Tuji's demeanor, their minds buzzing blankly.
What had gotten into Master Tuji for him to treat a mere pupil from a different sect with such high honor?
Tuji seemed to be oblivious to the crowd's confusion, waving a hand to see them out.
All at once, everyone had a billion questions they did not dare to ask. They bowed to Tuji before leaving the hall slowly, leaving Circe behind with nothing but confusion on her face.
"Father!"
Circe could hold back no longer after everyone had left, walking forward to ask, "Why did you take Beka in as your own pupil? No one knows where he came from. I think he's up to something, infiltrating the Lange household."
Tuji shook his head, speaking slowly. "I've thought this through, Circe. I had a talk with him last night. The fellow's an orphan who spent most of his life wandering around the world. He's well-experienced, with a decent skill set as well— he just hasn't met the right master."
"Also, you saw for yourself yesterday afternoon that he was able to tame two Wind Spirit Wolves all on his own. Beka's full of potential, he's a genius…"
The pupil hurried off, before quickly returning with a handsome man in tow. The man looked to be in his thirties, clad in a white long-sleeved short that highlighted his toned body and chiseled features.
It was Graham Potter, one of the pupils of the Wudang Sect.
Graham was one of the top pupils of the Wudang Sect. He had spent the first twenty-five years of his life cultivating in Mount Wudang, only leaving the mountain in the recent decade to wander around the world.
Graham was not too well-known in the world, but his father Jacob Potter, was once the principal of the Hexad School in Donghai City.
Just then, Graham's expression was nothing but respectful as he bowed to Tuji. "Warmest greetings, Master Tuji. I was passing by, and thought I'd pay you a visit on behalf of my father."
As he spoke, he took out a bottle of pills. "This is a jar of my father's Energy Nurturing Pills, please accept them."
Graham's gaze flitted towards Circe every now and then, full of nothing but passion.
The Langes had always had a good relationship with the Wudang Sect. Graham had came to the Lange household with one of his elders three years ago, and had been instantly taken with Circe's stunning appearance.
