Before having a private talk with Ling Feng, King of North of the River specifically consulted Ao Dagang, Marquis Zhuge, and Huo Guoqiong, even Guo Wei and others.
He asked them the reasons why Ling Feng rejected them.
And what kind of tone and attitude they used to try to take Ling Feng as a student.
He found a common point: Ao Dagang and others' method of taking disciples was disconnected from reality. They didn't find what Ling Feng truly wanted in his heart, nor did they give Ling Feng the hope of obtaining it.
Especially Ao Dagang, who even tried to use the Spiritual Domain to force Ling Feng to agree. It was simply too overbearing, easily provoking Ling Feng's rebellious nature.
Hence, when King of North of the River asked Ling Feng whether he was willing to become his disciple, he did not pressure him or use Mental Telekinesis to control Ling Feng as if he were a puppet, forcing him to kneel down and accept him as a teacher.
