"I'm sorry, Senior Brother Liu, I've implicated you!" Lai Siyu said to Liu Mingyuan guiltily.
"It's nothing, isn't it just a matter of some spirit stones and pills? I don't take these things seriously at all." Liu Mingyuan said with a simple smile.
"But your hand..."
"Just go back and pick it up. It will be fine in a few days. Don't worry."
"Well, I'll make you some pig's trotter soup tomorrow to nourish your body."
"Little scoundrel, do you think my hand is just a pig's hoof?"
…
Lai Siyu's initiation formalities were finally completed, and her spirit tablet was placed in the Qingyun Sect's ancestral hall. Since she didn't belong to any particular peak, the Sect Master assigned her to the dining hall. Therefore, the deacon disciples didn't assign her any housing, but instead told her to find a place to stay in the dining hall.
Going to the cafeteria was just what she wanted.
Liu Mingyuan went to the medical hall to take over, and then took Lai Siyu to the cafeteria to find the old man.
The dining hall is located at the foot of a mountain. Three ancient pavilions are built halfway up the mountain, namely the Lecture Pavilion, the Transmission Pavilion, and the Book Pavilion.
The dining hall is very large and can accommodate 500 people for dinner at the same time. In addition to the main hall, there are also more than 20 private rooms. The Qingyun Sect is really thoughtful.
Behind the dining hall is the kitchen and a courtyard with four entrances. The front courtyard is filled with miscellaneous items, the second courtyard is where the disciples live, the third courtyard is where the small stewards live, and the fourth courtyard is the territory of the old steward.
Of course, Lai Siyu lived with the old man in the fourth courtyard.
When she came here, unlike other places, she was welcomed. No matter whether it was out of respect for the old man or out of insincerity, Lai Siyu felt that it didn't matter. At least she didn't feel any hostility.
Besides her and the old man, there were twenty people in the canteen: two head chefs who also served as stewards, eight assistant chefs, and waiters. The rest were their wives, who usually helped with washing dishes and other odd jobs.
These people were all quite old, but their cultivation wasn't high. The highest was only at the ninth level of Qi training, and the lowest was at the fifth level. Perhaps because there was no hope of advancement, the sect had relegated them to the kitchen.
The probability of monks having children is much lower than that of ordinary people. Among the nine couples in the kitchen, only the couple in charge have a four-year-old son. This child is called Hu Tou, and he also has spiritual roots.
According to the rules of Qingyun Sect, if the descendants of disciples have spiritual roots, they do not need to be tested and can directly enter the outer sect after they turn six years old.
Moreover, Qingyun Sect also gave each of the four major families in Pengcheng four places without taking the test. Among them, Gongsun Family and Yang Family were among these four major families.
Of course, these families will still send their geniuses to participate in the disciple-recruiting ceremony held every five years, in order to free up one or two spots for the family.
Lai Siyu greeted everyone and followed the old man towards the innermost courtyard.
When they reached the door, the old man first took out a jade token and pressed it towards the void, causing a transparent ripple in the air. After the ripples dissipated, the old man pushed the door open and led her in.
After the two of them went in, the old man casually handed Lai Siyu a jade token.
"This jade token can open the restriction of this courtyard. Take it."
"I have cleaned up your room for you. See if there is anything missing? Add some more." The old man pointed to a room on the right.
"Well, I understand, Grandpa, I have something to tell you."
"Oh, then let's go inside and talk." The old man led her into the main room. He thought for a moment and raised his hand to add a restriction.
"Grandpa, what is your relationship with Tiezhong?" Lai Siyu asked straight to the point.
When the old man heard this, his expression became complicated. After a while, he sighed and said, "Forget it. I won't hide it from you. I am his senior brother."
"You are not only his senior brother, but you also gave him the position of Sect Leader, right?"
Lai Siyu's words were like thunder from a clear sky, exploding in the old man's heart!
The old man looked at Lai Siyu in shock, opened his mouth again and again but in the end didn't say a word.
"I also know that the Intermittent Cream and my chance to become an initiate were both purchased from him at a price you paid!"
Lai Siyu continued to throw bombs.
"H-How did you know that?"
"Grandpa, I went through a lot today..." Lai Siyu told the old man everything that had happened to her that day.
The old man was silent for a while, then looked at Lai Siyu with some heartache and said, "Girl, don't you think Grandpa was wrong? Grandpa shouldn't have let you enter Qingyun Sect and let you go through all these dirty things?"
"Grandpa, you're right! I'll experience these things sooner or later. It's better to experience them sooner and mature faster than to be at a loss later," Lai Siyu said seriously. "What I'm worried about now is that once the three-month period is up, Tiezhong will attack you! Grandpa, otherwise, don't make magic weapons for him..."
The old man waved his hand: "This is what I promised him, and he also accepted you into the Qingyun Sect..."
"But if he really kills you in three months, Grandpa, do you think he will let me go? He's not like you. He's not someone who keeps his promises!"
The old man looked at Lai Siyu lovingly. He stood up, walked to her, patted her shoulder and said, "Girl, do you look down on Grandpa so much? Do you think Grandpa will definitely be killed by him? Now that we know his plan, these three months are enough for me to prepare. Don't worry, Grandpa will definitely not let him kill him... Although Grandpa has always adhered to the word "faith" in his life, he is not a rigid and inflexible person. But from now on, don't worry about this matter. Leave it to me, Grandpa!"
"But Grandpa..."
"Girl, believe grandpa, okay?" The old man held Lai Siyu's shoulders, looked into Lai Siyu's eyes and said seriously.
Lai Siyu nodded in agreement, but she had to find a chance to explore the forbidden area.
"Girl, I'm going to be away for three months tomorrow. Be careful during these three months. Here are some talismans and pills for self-defense. I also have a set of Bihe robes, which are first-grade robes I made for you. Take them too. You can wear them when your meridians are unblocked that day..."
Lai Siyu took the thing handed to her by the old man, her heart ached and tears rolled down her face.
Why does this sound like Grandpa is making arrangements for his final resting place? Pah pah~ [Random] thoughts...
The old man gently raised his hand to wipe away the tears from the corners of her eyes and said with a smile: "Silly girl, you look ugly when you cry. Don't cry, smile for grandpa."
Lai Siyu grinned, indicating that she was smiling, her eyelashes trembled, and tears fell again.
"Forget it! It's uglier than crying! Okay, grandpa is tired, you go and rest, remember what grandpa said..."
