Wanyue hugged the wine jug and spiritual weapon tightly in her arms, looking alert.
Everyone had left, but the old master left her alone.
You're not going to... steal her things?!
No, no, these are gifts given to her by Old Man Zhao and Old Man Hua. They cannot be given to others. Otherwise, it would be impolite!
The head of the sect came down the stairs, holding a box in his hand. "Elder Zhu, thank you for speaking up for my daughter in the arena last time and proving her innocence. This is a thank you gift."
As he spoke, the headmaster handed the box in his hand to Wanyue.
Wanyue's smile was somewhat gentle, and she looked as well-behaved as always. "How can I feel embarrassed about this? This is what I should do..."
Although she said sorry, Wanyue had already picked up the box and held it in her arms.
If something is given to you for free, you should not refuse it.
Seeing Wanyue accept the box, the headmaster's face showed a little more relief.
His precious daughter had been framed and wronged. If Elder Zhu hadn't been there that day, the consequences would have been disastrous. And then there was his eldest disciple, Mu Chenfeng. He had actually thought he was very kind to Ling'er. He had really misjudged him!
This thank-you gift was just a small token of his appreciation and was insignificant compared to his precious daughter.
The leader specifically called Wanyue to talk about this matter.
Now that he had finished talking, he let Wanyue go.
…
The next day, all the disciples of Xuanmen gathered in the square in front of Guiyun Hall.
They had received the news before coming that they were going to the foot of the mountain for trials and to hunt monsters.
The disciples were all very excited. In previous years, the trials either asked them to go down the mountain to help the villagers farm or to look for herbs outside the Nether Beast Forest.
Trial missions like these are all extremely simple and not exciting at all.
Unexpectedly, this year's trial would require them to hunt monsters with real swords and real weapons!
That's awesome!
As most of the disciples arrived, the master appeared on the high platform in front of the square with a group of elders.
The originally noisy square gradually became quiet.
Wanyue bent down and walked to Qin Jiuci, holding a lot of things in her arms and walking unsteadily.
Qin Jiuci's eyelids jumped when he saw this, and he quickly reached out and took most of the things in Wanyue's arms and gave them to her. "Miss Zhu, why are you carrying so many things?"
Wanyue: "Don't ask so many questions, just take it!"
There are so many of them, half of them are medicines for your injuries.
If it weren't for you, would the little fairy be so tired?
Wanyue simply stuffed everything she was holding into Qin Jiuci's arms, leaving not a single medicine bottle cork in her hand, and clapped her hands with her empty hands.
Take your own things!
Qin Jiuci didn't get angry, and tried hard to hold the things in his arms to prevent them from falling.
On the high platform in front, the head of the sect was calling Wanyue's name. As the elder leading this trial, Wanyue had to show herself in front of the disciples.
Before anyone else noticed she was here, Wanyue quickly adjusted her skirt and walked out with an air of fairy-like grace.
There were constant sounds of people gasping for breath and quiet discussions all around.
"This junior sister is actually an elder? I remember she was a new disciple who just joined this year?"
"I saw her at the tournament that day, but I didn't know she was an elder..."
The above-mentioned people had met Wanyue before, and they all expressed doubts about Elder Wanyue's identity.
In addition, there are some sounds:
"Wow, Elder Zhu is so young and beautiful! She's already reached the Nascent Soul stage at such a young age, so amazing!"
"Look, look, Elder Zhu is smiling. It's so beautiful!"
“………”
Wanyue found the disciples who praised her and waved at them.
It was meaningless and received a lot of cheers and screams.
Qin Jiuci stood there holding the thing, looking frightened.
When did Miss Zhu become an elder of Xuanmen?
He clearly brought Miss Zhu to Xuanmen a few days ago?
Before that, Miss Zhu was still a homeless orphan...
Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, Wanyue climbed onto the platform and stood beside the Sect Leader.
Facing the questioning, amazed, envious and even jealous gazes from the audience, Wanyue stood upright without any stage fright, with a smile on her face and a hint of arrogance.
The head of the sect introduced Wanyue loudly, "This is Elder Zhu, the elder leading this trial. After we descend the mountain, Elder Zhu will secretly protect everyone's safety."
"Remember, monsters are brutal. Hunting them is of course the best, but more importantly, you must ensure your own safety!"
The headmaster's expression turned serious, and the disciples below stopped laughing and stood quietly.
After the speech, the trial journey officially began.
…
"Qin Jiuci, I want to eat osmanthus cake!"
Qin Jiuci carefully helped the person next to him to move away the obstructing branches. After Wanyue walked over, he lowered his head and began to look for the osmanthus cake in his storage ring.
He found this storage ring among the pile of things Wanyue stuffed into his hands.
Qin Jiuci took the storage ring and asked Wanyue why she didn't put the things in it.
Wanyue stared at the storage ring for more than ten seconds, and finally turned her head away angrily.
Qin Jiuci put that pile of things into the storage ring by himself, and the storage ring was naturally worn on Qin Jiuci's hand.
Qin Jiuci had suspected more than once that Wanyue actually didn't know that it was a storage ring, otherwise she wouldn't have come to him with so many things.
Qin Jiuci took out the osmanthus cake and handed it over. Wanyue reached out to take it, holding it in her hand and eating it in small bites.
Qin Jiuci looked up at the sky, with a hint of worry between his brows.
They were now in a forest, surrounded by dense trees and weeds.
It was almost dark, but he and Miss Zhu had not yet found a place to stay.
Originally, they were traveling together with a large group of other disciples. When they passed a fork in the road, Miss Zhu said that they wanted to take another road, so the two of them separated from Da Budao.
Qin Jiuci walked in front, holding a long sword in his hand, chopping the weeds on the ground and the branches extending on both sides, clearing a path for Wanyue behind him.
Wanyue was walking behind while eating cakes. She looked so relaxed that she didn't seem to be going through training, but rather like she was just out for a walk.
The two walked for a while, but still didn't get out of the woods.
The sky gradually darkened, the bright moon climbed up the sky, and the white moonlight spread all over the ground.
"Miss Zhu, it seems we have to sleep in the woods tonight."
He originally wanted to find a cave, but they had been walking for so long that they hadn't even gotten out of the woods.
"Sleep here?" Wanyue looked around and hugged herself tightly. "There must be a lot of snakes and bugs in this bush. We're going to get bitten!"
