Seeing the two men’s determined and sincere attitude, a satisfied smile spread across Gu Gang’s face, and Gu San and Gu Si, standing nearby, were equally delighted.
From the moment he first met them, this was exactly what Gu Gang had hoped to achieve. He had deliberately refrained from asking them to swear allegiance early on, choosing instead to clarify their positions: he did not need to beg for subordinates; he needed supporters whose loyalty came from the heart. While teaching them martial arts would eventually make them absolute followers, there would be no point if they did not offer their loyalty voluntarily.
As things stood, the two had chosen to submit for the sake of the cultivation techniques. Given the temperaments of Hu Bayi and Wang Fatty, they would certainly not go back on their word. Once they achieved success in their training, they would become truly loyal followers. As the darlings of Qi Luck in this tomb-raiding world, this was something Gu Gang had already seen clearly using his martial arts observation techniques. Both men possessed red-level Qi Luck, a standard attainable only by children of destiny.
