"Yes!"
Li Qiankun, still with a look of surprise on his face, also followed with a bow, evidently having not realized until now that this was a trial set by the Sect Leader for him.
But precisely because he was unaware, he acted according to his true nature, which is his most valuable trait.
Then he turned to walk back to the position he had taken earlier.

This action made the other disciples envious; they too longed for this kind of privilege.
They had arrived days in advance to claim a position, yet even so, the closest disciple was still a zhang away!
While he was merely two to three feet away from the Sect Leader.
