"Strength alone does not a teacher make."
Li Yuan was secretly astonished. As a True God himself, could he actually mentor a True God disciple? This indeed carried significant weight.
"Senior brother must have taken great pains to invite them," Li Yuan said.
"Haha, if it were in the past, even if I tried, they might not be willing," Jiang Yuan True God laughed, "But now that I've just become the Deputy City Lord, they're willing to give me this much face."
"Besides, your talent is also exceptionally high."
"After all, every master likes an intelligent disciple," Jiang Yuan True God continued, "If you were a fool, even if the City Lord asked them, they might not be willing."
Li Yuan could not help but nod.
Connections matter, but one's own abilities must be sufficient... relying solely on connections won't get one far.
