My Substitute CEO Bride romance Capítulo 2590

"Oh? Why do you say that?" Esen asked curiously.

Fogort, still speaking lazily, replied, "Didn't you ask me what I think about this name? Well, all I know is my master's understanding of it."

"Oh?"

"Stop talking nonsense, boy!" Stuart quickly tried to stop him.

However, Esen raised his hand to signal Stuart to be quiet. "Stuart, don't interrupt."

"Yes, Master Aellopus."

Esen turned to Fogort. "So, in your own understanding, what does 'Fogort' mean?"

"My understanding of it? The world doesn't recognize me, and I won't reveal myself. I exist within the fog, carefree and at ease."

Esen could not help but laugh at his response. "I didn't expect such an explanation from you."

"Yeah, that's how I see it."

"Interesting, very interesting," Esen said with a smile. He glanced at the list of names in his hand and noticed Fogort's name was not on it.

"Stuart, his name isn't on the list?"

"That's correct, Master Aellopus. He's only been a disciple for half a year, so I didn't include him."

Esen turned to Fogort. "Do you think that's fair?"

"I don't know."

"Do you want to become an inner disciple?"

Fogort shook his head.

"Why not? Many people fight for a chance to enter the inner sect, and yet you don't want to?"

"Master Aellopus, do you think I'm qualified?"

"It's not for us to decide whether you're qualified, but—"

"No, it is up to you," Fogort interrupted. "I know people say the master opens the door, but cultivation is up to the individual. But for things that can be influenced by others, I'm not really interested."

"Oh? Are you afraid of failure?"

"Maybe that's part of it, but the main reason is... I think it's too much trouble."

"Trouble?"

"Yeah. You just said it yourself—so many people are fighting for those spots in the inner sect. I don't have many strengths, but knowing when to back off might be one of them. They're all so skilled. I don't want to compete with them. It's just too much trouble."
