Hearing this, Kobayashi Haruo and his fellow disciples were instantly in an uproar. They all wore expressions of disbelief as they cried out in shock:
"What? Teacher, you're going to Huashang?"
"You're going yourself, Teacher? Isn't that giving that Zhao Yuan kid too much credit?"
"How could we trouble you to go personally? Just let us go to Huashang and support our senior brother!"
