If she is no longer here, how about I love you in her place?
How could a man who can utter such bold words be a man without ambition?
Like piecing together a jigsaw puzzle, by piecing together the fragmented information, she was able to deduce a clear outline.
For his three disciples, the master's so-called teaching by word and deed had only one key point: to make the most of what they had right now.
What binds the disciples to Lingxian Palace is not profit or responsibility, but a bond as strong as kinship.
Who exactly is the woman mentioned by the Immortal Venerable Seeking Flowers and Willows, the one who holds a high position and was once the master of the Wind-Singing Blade?
Even with Master's immense power, there's still a woman he can't protect?
"This is a ceremony to formally become a disciple, not a ceremony to worship heaven and earth. Why are you dressed up so beautifully? Are you harboring evil intentions and trying to seduce your master?"
The senior sister's voice pulled Dongfang Jue back from her reverie. Dongfang Jue smiled and said, "This is also Jue'er's first time becoming a disciple, so it should be a bit formal, shouldn't it?"
"Alright, stop dawdling, everyone's waiting for you."
Like a bride, Dongfang Jue, dressed in the immortal robe bestowed upon her by her master, slowly stepped out of the bedroom.
Compared to other sects whose white Taoist robes or monastic garments are almost uniform, Lingxian Palace doesn't have overly strict requirements for its disciples' attire. The only requirement is that they cannot expose their chests or breasts, as this is considered indecent...
The senior sister had already introduced the process to her earlier. Under everyone's watchful eyes, she stepped onto the stone steps with the crane relief and entered the main hall.
Today, Master wore a new robe that his eldest sister had made for him. It was embroidered with golden cranes and dragons, and a tea-colored jade belt with the words "Ling Xian" hanging from it was quite a match for the Immortal Emperor robe that Master had given her.
Actually, there was nothing to be particular about. When her senior sister told her to bow, she did so.
To put it bluntly, as long as she doesn't cause trouble, nothing unexpected will happen; everything is managed perfectly by the senior sister.
Watching the eldest sister take out the Star River Ruler as a disciplinary ruler, and listening to her recite the peculiar sect rules that amused everyone.
Dongfang Jue didn't find it funny; on the contrary, he found it exceptionally sacred.
Besides Li Shiyao, who would drink the bathwater from Lingchi Palace?
Besides Yu Lan, who would choose to climb through a window instead of going through a door?
And then there's that ruler. Aside from hitting the perverted senior sister, I doubt anyone else has the privilege of using it!
Even though Li Shiyao drugged her master, he didn't hold her accountable; he just had Yu Lan scare her.
Dongfang Jue tried to remember every single detail; it was her happiest day yet.
From this day forward, she will be no different from her two senior sisters.
She can proudly tell everyone that she is the third disciple of Lingxian Palace.
When that moment finally arrived, she became even more aware of what Ye Qinghan had said earlier.
This love wasn't rushed; like Ye Qinghan, it was something she had planned for a long time. Hehe~
Only after shedding those obsessions did Dongfang Jue realize that all of this was actually not difficult to obtain; she had simply been seeking things far away from what was readily available.
She had overcomplicated things. In reality, all that was needed to become a disciple was the one thing the master cared about: sincerity.
In this respect, she is not even as good as Su Muchan, who can openly say that she wants to curry favor with powerful figures.
"Serve tea—"
Li Shiyao, dressed in a cheongsam and carrying a wooden tray, walked up to Dongfang Jue like a hostess. On the tray was tea that Ye Qinghan had already brewed, and the aroma of the tea was refreshing.
He took the teacup from Li Shiyao...
Wait... is that the teacup Shiyao handed me? This tea wouldn't be...
"Shiyao, you can't be serious...!"
Li Shiyao looked regretful: "Actually, Shiyao did have a plan, but Shiyao has run out of her medicine powder..."
Dongfang Jue smiled awkwardly, but he had to thank Elder Cang Jue of Lingshan!
"Master, please have some tea."
Su Cheng slowly took the teacup and smiled.
"Jue'er, lift your head up, don't be nervous."
"Yes, thank you, Master."
Yes, she's not some ugly monster who's not worth seeing; she's even wearing makeup!
Hearing her master loudly proclaim that he had officially accepted her as his disciple, and hearing the name Dongfang Jue uttered from his mouth, she felt as if her armor had been shattered, and tears instantly streamed down her face.
However, the eldest sister wouldn't let her lose face. If it were just the master and sisters, it would be fine, but there were quite a few people this time.
With a light flick of her sleeves, the tears that had welled up in her eyes instantly vaporized and disappeared, followed by two telepathic messages.
There are a lot of people today, so don't embarrass yourself. If you want to act cute, come to my room later.
Don't overthink it, I just don't want you bothering Master.
"Disciple Dongfang Jue will certainly live up to Master's trust and expectations!"
"bye--"
Following her senior sister's rhythm, she slowly bowed and watched as her master gently tied the jade pendant, which he had been fiddling with for several days, around her waist.
The traditional six-gift ceremony was omitted, and the ceremony resembled an award ceremony. Su Cheng slowly helped Dongfang Jue up to perform another grand ceremony, thus concluding the apprenticeship ceremony.
"This is yours, don't overthink it. I just bought it casually. If you don't like it, just throw it away."
As he spoke, Ye Qinghan, as if he were just going through the motions, shoved the beautifully packaged box into the arms of the dazed-looking Dongfang Jue...
"Thank you, Senior Sister. I really like it, and I will definitely keep it safe!"
Ye Qinghan rolled her eyes, crossed her arms, and turned around.
"You like it without even looking at it? You're obviously stupid and you don't even like it!"
Compared to Ye Qinghan, Li Shiyao is much more frank!
"This is a gift from Shiyao to Jue'er as she enters the family. From today onwards, Jue'er is Shiyao's true junior sister! Don't worry, Shiyao will protect you!"
