The disciple suddenly understood, finally realizing why his master was so concerned about the man in front of him.
Turns out he's a hidden master, playing the fool to deceive!
Luckily, he was clever enough to probe in advance; otherwise, he would have been fooled into thinking this was just an inexperienced newbie who had just passed the trial zone.
As expected, his master's keen insight is spot on, leaving nothing to chance!
These musings of the disciple were, of course, unknown to Wen Nan—mind reading couldn't be used in the game hall, even if it could, Wen Nan wouldn't waste the only chance on such a young man—but seeing the other lying on the ground, face blushing alternately red and white, not responding for ages, Wen Nan couldn't help but think this disciple didn't seem very bright.
Wen Nan extended his hand for quite a while without seeing the other reciprocate, finally stepping closer, intending to grab the other's arm and pull him up.
