“That won’t do,” Jiang Si said with a smile. “These are all gifts for Zhao Zhao’s apprenticeship.”
As for tuition fees, it seems inconvenient to discuss them today.
After all, there were still students in the inner room, so Huo Tingzhou could only find an opportunity to talk to him privately.
"Oh, so it's a ceremony for becoming a disciple." Zhuo Mingda was so confused by the students that it took him a while to come to his senses. "A... a ceremony for becoming a disciple?"
Jiang Si nodded and explained her purpose.

We're all usually busy, so it's rare to have this opportunity today.
