"Alright, this is the last elder's seat. That's all for today. I'll take you back to the temporary residence the sect has given you."
As dusk fell, Yan Quan and I rode our swords through the misty mountains and rivers tinged with the colors of the setting sun.
He weighed the two storage bags in his hands, smiled at me, and said...
"oh oh……"
He noticed me glancing at him, so I quickly looked away.
It was only then that I realized I had been so focused on looking at him the whole way.
I didn't listen to his introduction at all...
However, it seems like he's hiding something from me.
"You don't seem to have... introduced your master."
I put my hands behind my back and said this, taking the opportunity to look back again.
His dark eyes gazed at the distant sunset, as if he were deep in thought.
A gentle breeze and the setting sun shone on him, casting shadows on his face, which held an inscrutable expression. For some reason, I really enjoyed being with him.
"My master does not directly accept disciples."
However, if you'd like to go and take a look, that's fine. If you need to request something like this again in the future, feel free to contact me there.
That being said... you really are very beautiful.
Phew, remember to wear this on future missions, so we don't run into those annoying things again.
He nodded, glanced at me casually, and then handed me a wooden mask with some simple drawings on it.
"Pfft, did you draw this yourself?"
How strange...
"Tsk, don't give it to me."
"No, you've already given it to me."
I dodged his outstretched hand and hugged the mask tightly. His hand froze in mid-air, hesitated for a few moments, and then withdrew.
"Oh well, we've arrived."
He turned his head and led me to a grand hall on a mountain peak.
I looked around and saw that this was a rather deserted peak compared to the previous ones, and even the buildings were rather old.
“Go south for a few hundred meters, and you will reach my cave.”
Yan Quan pointed his finger.
"There are usually very few people here. One reason is that the old woman basically doesn't take on apprentices, and another is that she often goes out. So apart from some handymen she recruited when she was alive, there are basically not many people here."
He went on to explain some of the layout around me.
"You dare call me an old woman?!"
Suddenly, a beautiful woman with black and white hair appeared out of nowhere next to Yan Quan. She grabbed Yan Quan's ear and scolded him.
As for Quan, that was the first time I had ever seen him so embarrassed.
"Ouch, I was wrong, I was wrong, Master, good Master... I won't do it again, I won't do it again."
"Wow, your storage bag is bulging. It's time to give it to me."
"Bai Miaomiao, don't go too far..."
"Huh? What did you call me again? Calling me by my first name, you traitor..."
"Hiss, no, it's nothing... Master, you can take it, hahaha."
"What are you laughing at? Kneel down here!"
Yes, that's it. Kneel until we come out. You, come with me.
The woman snatched all the spirit stones Yan Quan had recently received and quickly made him kneel at the entrance of the main hall. She then gestured for me to follow her into the main hall.
"Me? Okay, fine..."
Seeing that Yan Quan dared not resist, my opinion of this woman rose several notches, and I silently followed her.
Upon entering the main hall, the woman immediately sat in the main seat, confirming her identity.
"Disciple Chu Ruoxue greets Elder Bai."
I bowed and said, as an idea began to take shape in my mind.
"Don't pretend with me, I know you like my good apprentice."
"Huh? What, what are you saying? I, I, I, I didn't..."
Hearing such an unexpected remark, I quickly and earnestly refuted it.
However, I was a little nervous, and my speech was not very coherent.
"Really? I was thinking of taking you as my disciple to help you out, and I could also use your talent to get more resources in the sect."
"What?"
"Ah, my good disciple, so many people like him."
There are already one, two, three engagements...
"Forget it, I'll stop counting. There are already a lot. If you don't become his only junior sister... I guess it'll be difficult."
Elder Bai then said some things that I couldn't understand at the moment, leaving me confused and unsure how to respond.
"In short, if you don't become my disciple, you'll basically have nothing to do with the right to speak out. Is that better for you... or worse?"
Who knows?
Elder Bai suddenly appeared in front of me, reached out and pinched my cheek, and whispered to me.
"What a pretty face! Is it really going to be that guy who gets it?"
"Um...I, I..."
"If you become my disciple... I'll let Yan Quan marry you."
"Ah... Elder Bai, I, I..."
"Call me Master."
“…Master, revered master.”
My mind was a complete mess, and she led me to call her Master.
"Hahaha, then I'll accept you as a genius. You'll make those old devils furious."
Walk……"
She suddenly put her hands on her hips and laughed happily, then pulled me straight out.
"Hey, good apprentice, from now on, she's your junior sister. Come on, let's get to know each other."
She pulled me to Yan Quan's side, who looked utterly desperate, and pointed at him.
"Sigh, as expected... Welcome to the team, Junior Sister Chu."
Yan Quan stood up, dusted himself off, looked at me helplessly, and said with a light laugh.
"Pfft, um, Senior Brother Yan!"
Seeing his disheveled appearance, I chuckled a few times along with my master and replied happily.
