"I knew it. There's no way the Kong Family would ever try to recruit Sun Tao."
Zhang Hanzhou breathed a sigh of relief. He had been genuinely terrified of that possibility; if it had happened, he would have lost sleep over it.
Qi Xuancheng and Ye Qiuling wore similar expressions. They had all dreaded the idea of Sun Tao becoming a Kong Family subordinate.
In truth, none of the three respected Sun Tao much. After all, Xu Yang at least had a track record of defeating Li Chuyang and Lin Jingyu. Sun Tao, on the other hand, had absolutely no notable achievements.
Disappointment flickered across Sun Tao's face. Who wouldn't want to curry favor with a Thousand-Year-Old Noble Family?
Unfortunately, even if he climbed a few more ranks on the Lingyun List, it still wouldn't be enough to catch their eye. Unless he broke into the top twenty, it was useless.
