The old man really have a point if they want to follow him they follow now since he wont care much when they follow him when hes already strong. Thats old man is clever to say the least
I'm always surprised at how arrogant literally 99,99% of all characters are. No wait, I wanted to say that only MC's teachers & confidants usually aren't, but even they would be incredibly arrogant if MC wasn't the MC.
@Macrendil You get used to it. I think in most cultivation stories every character is arrogant one way or another, it’s just a matter of how much arrogance one can tolerate
