Lady Jiu pondered for a moment and said, "Perhaps you and the dean are destined to be together. The dean has lived for over a thousand years. The reason he accepted you as his disciple, besides your talent, must be because you and the dean have a deep connection."

When Yun Zheng heard this, she had a vague feeling that she had met the rumored dean before, but she just couldn't remember who he was.

Perhaps it is true as the Ninth Elder said, she and the dean have a certain connection.

Lady Jiu laughed again and said, "It's not that easy to meet the dean. He has a bit of a... strange temper. Everything is done according to a pre-planned schedule. He even chose the right time to personally accept you as his disciple."

"I know that the dean is the divine fortune teller." Yun Zheng nodded.

When she met the dean, she knew what kind of senior he was.

She suddenly remembered the seven stones that Elder Kou Daiyu had once used to measure her. She could vaguely feel the power of divination on the last stone.

Divination and fortune-telling correspond to each other.

Her eyes fixed. No wonder Elder Kou had reacted so strongly when she chose the seventh stone. It turned out that it wasn't the dean who chose her as his disciple first, but she who chose him as her master first.

Si Kouyuan saw that they had finished talking about the dean accepting disciples, and then took out another colorful large sack from the storage space at the right time.

Si Kouyuan blinked and said, "Junior Sister, this is a meeting gift for you."

As she spoke, Si Kouyuan placed the large sack in front of Yun Zheng.

Lady Jiu's gaze fell on the colorful sack for a moment, and she immediately teased, "Oh my, you're willing to give so many 'steamed buns' to Xiao Yun'er?"

"Of course I'm willing to give it to you."

Si Kouyuan stared at Yun Zheng's pretty little face and wanted to pinch it a few times, but she couldn't. She couldn't be too presumptuous when they just met.

She silently put her hands behind her back and said, "Junior Sister, wait until we leave the courtyard, then open the sack and take a look."

"Xiao Yun'er, as your elder, I naturally have to give you a gift." Lady Jiu said as she took out two colorful large sacks from the storage space. The sacks made crisp clanging sounds.

That doesn't sound like steamed buns.

It looks more like stone.

Yun Zheng covered her mouth and coughed, "Thank you, Ninth Elder, Senior Sister Si."

In order to return the favor, Yun Zheng took out her private collection of demigod-level runes from the storage space. The explosive power was comparable to that of a god-level rune.

But she was afraid they wouldn't accept it.

She placed the runes into two boxes and handed one to each of them, pretending to be shy and saying, "This is my return gift. If you don't mind, please accept it."

"Take it, take it! I want everything Junior Sister gives me!"

As soon as she finished speaking, Lady Jiu couldn't help but kick Si Kouyuan off the bed.

"Get out!" Ninth Lady's furious voice rang out, "You are a disgrace to our sect!"

"Master, I'm telling the truth."

Lady Jiu glared at her angrily, then her expression changed in an instant. She turned and looked at Yun Zheng with a smile, "Xiao Yun'er, your Senior Sister Si has a little problem with her brain. She speaks incoherently. Don't pay attention to her nonsense."

Yun Zheng laughed. "Senior Sister has a straightforward personality. She speaks her mind directly without beating around the bush. I really like that."

When Si Kouyuan heard this, she was so happy that it seemed like a tail was wagging behind her.

Lady Jiu looked at the box in her hand and said earnestly, "We will like whatever gift you give us."

Yun Zheng was stunned for a moment, her eyes lingering on the three colorful sacks for a few seconds before she slowly said, "Me too."

At this time, Lady Jiu stood up.

"Okay, I won't bother you anymore. Remember to come to our Illusion Pavilion more often. If there's anything you can't solve, you can come to me."

Si Kouyuan stood up suddenly and said seriously, "Master, please leave now. I want to talk to Junior Sister alone."

The next moment, Si Kouyuan screamed.

“Master…”

The Ninth Lady raised her hand and twisted Si Kouyuan's ear. She winked at Yun Zheng and then took Si Kouyuan away.

"Xiao Yun'er, see you another day."

The room fell silent instantly.

It was as if everything that just happened was an illusion.

But this was neither an illusion nor a dream, because next to her bed, there were three extremely eye-catching large sacks.

Is there a steamed bun inside?

Yun Zheng stood up and moved to the bedside, then slowly untied the rope. The moment she pulled open the sack, her eyes were instantly flashed by a dazzling golden light. She waited for her eyes to adjust to the light, and then took a closer look.

Yun Zheng was silent.

This is a steamed bun, not a steamed bun for eating, but a golden steamed bun.

And this is not ordinary gold, it is thousand-year-old Tai Chi gold.

This thousand-year-old Tai Chi gold can be used to refine weapons. If it were put up for auction, it would definitely attract most weapon refiners to compete for it.

so……

Ninth Lady and Senior Sister Si gave her three sacks of "money".

Yun Zheng sighed: "...You really understand me too well."

She is short of money.

…

The other side

Jiu Niangzi and Si Kouyuan returned to the Illusion Pavilion.

"Xiao Yuan'er." Lady Jiu looked at Si Kouyuan and said seriously, "No matter what Xiao Yun'er gives you, you must keep it well and don't hurt Xiao Yun'er's heart."

Si Kouyuan said solemnly, "I know that I will treasure the gift that Junior Sister gave me."

After Si Kouyuan finished speaking, she carefully opened the box.

The next moment, she screamed in surprise, "It's over, it's over, Master!"

Lady Jiu immediately rushed to her side and asked anxiously, "What's wrong?!"

"Master, look!" Si Kouyuan pointed at the bright yellow runes in the box.

Lady Jiu's gaze fell on the box. Her pupils suddenly shrank and her eyes deepened. "This is a demigod-level rune! A top-grade rune!"

Si Kouyuan asked tearfully, "Master, this is a stack of demigod-level runes. It's over, it's over. I only gave my junior sister a sack of 'steamed buns'. Isn't that too stingy?!"

There are at least twenty demigod-level runes in this box.

If it were an ordinary twenty demigod-level runes, they would fetch at least 100 million rubies at auction!

What's more, this is a top-grade rune, its value is comparable to that of an ordinary god-level rune, and the price is at least double!

Lady Jiu slowed down, "Xiao Yun'er, you are truly a genius."

Even the God-level Rune Master Zuo Bufan couldn't give Xiao Yun'er much help because Xiao Yun'er was already extremely close to the realm of a God-level Rune Master.

It turns out that only a dean can teach such a genius!

Lady Jiu was feeling emotional, and just when she wanted to talk to Si Kouyuan, she found that she was secretly heading out of the pavilion.

"Where are you running to?"

Si Kouyuan's body stiffened. "Master, I need to go give Junior Sister a few more sacks of steamed buns."

Ninth Lady: “…”

Ninth Lady pressed her forehead helplessly, "Come back, don't disturb your junior sister's rest!"
