There was something else Zhong Chenghuai left unsaid: 'I'm afraid I'll embarrass you if I become your Deputy.'
In terms of strength, especially during the years his Lifebound Guardian Beast had been injured, Zhong Chenghuai wasn't exactly insecure, but he had always lacked confidence.
Now that Zhong Yi had become a Celestial Destiny Seeker, the caliber of people Zhong Chenghuai was interacting with had skyrocketed.
This caused his insecurity, which he had never really shown before, to suddenly magnify when he heard Zhong Yi ask him to be his Deputy.
He was terrified he would tarnish Zhong Yi's reputation.
Zhong Yi fell silent for a moment, then guessed what Zhong Chenghuai was thinking.
His tone equally serious and earnest, Zhong Yi said,
"Uncle Huai, you've been busy with the estate in the Central District, so you might not know, but Shen Xuan is also a Celestial Destiny Seeker."
