Looking back now, although the four of them always referred to him as Master, Xia Hong never gave any direct response from beginning to end, including when they reunited at the end of last year in Yanling County, Xia Hong did not mention it at all.
Su Xing'er had these thoughts flash through her mind, her face slightly pale, seeing Xiang Liang still waiting for her response. She adjusted her mood slightly, and with a very reluctant expression, replied, "Thank you Lord Xiang for the reminder. Lord Landgrave indeed never formally accepted me as a disciple. We call him Master out of gratitude for Lord Landgrave's kindness, which is indeed somewhat presumptuous. I hope you will forgive us."
When Xiang Liang had asked earlier, his tone didn't really carry any reproach, but Su Xing'er keenly noticed a hint of displeasure on his face. Her mind was sharp, and she instantly understood the reason, hurriedly bowing to apologize.
