Chapter 11: Return the wooden bracelet you borrowed to me
In the end, Xie Liuyin not only changed her clothes, but also changed the shoes distributed by the sect to ones embroidered with jade spider silk and cloud patterns.
Xianyue seemed to be afraid that her only disciple was not eye-catching enough, so she forced her to wear two spirit pearl hairpins on her head.
Those two spirit beads were terrifyingly large, and even Xie Liuyin, who had just entered the Tao not long ago, could clearly feel the spiritual energy on them.
She shook her slightly heavy head and said helplessly, "It's just a ceremony of becoming a disciple. We don't need to be so ostentatious, right, Master?"
"Hmph, what do you know? This concerns your reputation as a teacher. My disciple must be stronger than others, stronger in every aspect!" Xianyue did not give Xie Liuyin any chance to refuse.
On the way to the apprenticeship ceremony, Xianyue did not forget to give his apprentice a few instructions: "There are many disciples in Qingxiao Sect, so it is inevitable that there are some who can't speak human language. Now that you have accepted me as your master, your status in the sect is equal to that of the sect master and elders.
If anyone doesn't speak well during the apprenticeship ceremony, you don't have to be polite, just confront them directly, I'll support you."
Xie Liuyin raised her eyebrows slightly when she heard this. It seemed like someone was dissatisfied with her.
Xie Liuyin responded obediently, and made up her mind that if someone really came to say something behind her back, she would definitely fight back without any hesitation!
The master and disciple were delayed for a while because of changing clothes, but they arrived at the venue not too late.
Although Xianyue did not have much real power in the sect, his status was there, so he was arranged to sit on the left hand side of Sect Master Kunshan, and the other elders sat in their respective seats.
Xie Liuyin took a special look and found that Ye Chaoyun was next to the Ninth Elder. Xie Mingzhu, who had not been seen for many days, was standing obediently behind Ye Chaoyun.
The moment her sister appeared, Xie Mingzhu secretly cast a glance at Xie Liuyin.
She had some thoughts of watching the show in her mind, after all, in her previous life, Xie Mingzhu had not gotten a good deal at the hands of this great-grandmaster Xianyue.
I don't know what's wrong with that person, he is very difficult to please.
The methods that had always worked on the Xie couple in the past would definitely fail when used on Xianyue.
Several times, Xie Mingzhu wanted to get close to this master and specially made delicious snacks to send to him. However, she was stopped by the wooden puppet who was responsible for serving him. The puppet said that Xianyue was resting and asked her not to disturb him.
Xie Mingzhu believed it the first few times, but later, no matter whether she went to look for Xianyue in the morning or at night, the wooden puppet said that he was sleeping.
Which monk sleeps for more than ten hours a day? !
Xie Mingzhu therefore concluded that Xianyue was targeting him. In addition, although this great uncle was of higher seniority, he did not take care of things at all and was far inferior to Ye Chaoyun, who was recognized as the next sect leader.
Now he has changed his master to the more promising Ye Chaoyun, and has succeeded in getting this master to treat him differently.
Xie Mingzhu felt that Xie Liuyin, whose master was snatched away by her, would definitely not have an easy life. With her stupid sister's boring personality, she would probably be hated by Xianyue even more than she was before.
As a result, when Xie Mingzhu looked over, she not only did not see Xie Liuyin's lonely and sad look as she expected, but she was wearing a robe that looked expensive, and the hairpin on her head was dazzlingly bright.
Xie Mingzhu knew very well that these things were definitely not brought by Xie Liuyin herself, so the only explanation was that they were given to her by Xianyue!
As soon as this thought came to mind, Xie Mingzhu felt a strong sense of jealousy.
Why did Xianyue give Xie Liuyin such nice clothes and jewelry, but she didn't even want to see her at the beginning?
Xie Mingzhu's emotional fluctuations were too obvious, so Ye Chaoyun, who was closest to her, naturally noticed it.
He glanced at his disciple and followed Xie Mingzhu's line of sight. When he found that his disciple was looking at the female cultivator named Xie Liuyin, his eyes instantly turned colder.
"Mingzhu, don't be afraid. Master won't let that person bully you again." Thinking that his disciple was remembering the past when he was bullied by Xie Liuyin, Ye Chaoyun hurriedly spoke to reassure him.
Xie Mingzhu came back to her senses and smiled at Ye Chaoyun, saying, "Master, don't worry. Those things are all in the past."
But the more generous and gentle she acted, the more Ye Chaoyun disliked Xie Liuyin.
He frowned and glanced at Xie Liuyin again, secretly thinking about finding time to find his uncle-master and ask him to discipline this disciple with bad morals in the future.
Today's apprenticeship ceremony was held for the two hundred new disciples who were selected to join the inner sect. After everyone arrived, the grand ceremony officially began.
Sisters Xie Liuyin and Xie Mingzhu could not stay on the viewing platform either. They had to stand with other new disciples, complete the ceremony and receive the sect leader's blessing.
As Xie Liuyin stood still in the team, Xie Mingzhu's voice rang out behind her: "Sister, I haven't seen you for a long time. Are you doing well on Sunrise Peak?"
"Thanks to you, of course I'm living a good life. Didn't you see what I'm wearing and what's on my head? These were all given to me by my master. He said that I'm his only disciple and that I should dress nicely so as not to embarrass him." Xie Liuyin responded with a smile.
However, this smile seemed so ironic to Xie Mingzhu that it hurt her eyes.
Xie Mingzhu wanted to ask something else, but the steward in front loudly announced the start of the ceremony and asked all the new disciples to stop making noise.
Xie Mingzhu could only swallow her anger and planned to trouble Xie Liuyin after the ceremony.
The Qingxiao Sect's apprenticeship ceremony is divided into the following steps: lighting the soul lamp, bestowing the jade talisman, and listening to instructions.
New disciples need to take a drop of their heart blood and integrate it into the soul lamp distributed by the sect. In the future, if the disciples encounter danger when they go out, the sect will be able to see the clues from the soul lamp and rescue them.
The jade talismans of Qingxiao Sect’s disciples are divided into three categories: white, green, and red. The white one is for outer disciples, and the green one is for inner disciples.
Those who are qualified to wear the red jade talisman are the elders’ direct disciples.
There was an extra golden pattern on Xie Liuyin's red jade talisman to distinguish her from other disciples of the elders.
After all, her master is Xianyue, the most senior master in Qingxiao Sect. Disciples like Xie Mingzhu will have to call her great-grandmaster in the future!
After completing the first two items, the sect master consciously stood in the center of the viewing platform and said to the one hundred energetic young disciples below:
"Since you have joined our Qingxiao Sect, you must abide by the sect's rules, respect your teachers, be friendly to your fellow disciples, practice diligently, and eradicate all evil. If you dare to do anything that betrays your teachers and ancestors and damages the reputation of the sect, you will be abandoned by both heaven and earth and will not have a good end!"
After a round of beating, the sect leader casually formed a spell.
Then countless golden lights rushed towards the new disciples like falling rain and landed on everyone's heads.
Anyone who came into contact with the golden light felt their body suddenly become lighter, and even their spiritual energy, which had been flowing sluggishly before, became smoother.
This is the blessing that the sect master bestows on the new disciples. As long as these disciples are in the Qingxiao Sect, they can absorb spiritual energy better and practice more easily.
This is a special method only available to large sects, and it is also one of the reasons why young cultivators are trying their best to get into large sects.
As soon as the ceremony ended, Xie Liuyin went back to the viewing platform to look for Xianyue.
Unexpectedly, before she could move, Xie Mingzhu stopped her and said, "Sister, don't leave yet. Can you return the wooden bracelet you borrowed from me?"
