Senior Sister?
Who wants to be the senior disciple of Liuli Peak!
I want to be the bride! Not the eldest disciple! I want to wear a phoenix coronet and embroidered robe! Not a full-on martial arts uniform!
Under Qian Shudie's resentful gaze, Shen Xingyue took the lead and knelt on the ground, kowtowing three times to Su Nian.
"Disciple Shen Xingyue! I am willing to become Immortal Su's disciple!"
Su Nian smiled and nodded, then said to Qian Shudie, "We're so destined to be together, I originally wanted to make you my eldest disciple, but if you're unwilling to become my disciple, then... I'll have to give the position of eldest disciple to Shen Xingyue~"
Qian Shudie pursed her lower lip in resentment, her delicate fists clenched tighter.
In the end, she chose to compromise, took a deep breath, slowly knelt down, and performed three bows and nine kowtows.
"Disciple Meng Feidie... wishes to become Immortal Su's disciple..."
"Hmm~ That's right, that's more like it. Since you're so sincere in wanting to become my disciple, then I'll accept you as my apprentice."
As Su Nian spoke, she helped Meng Feidie and Shen Xingyue up.
Shen Xingyue's eyes were full of joy. Compared to her, Meng Feidie was like a bee trapped in a net, wanting to collect nectar but unable to fly out of the net.
With everyone present as witnesses, Su Nian spoke earnestly: "From this day forward, I will be your master. Quanxiu is a prestigious and righteous sect, and respecting one's teacher is the most basic etiquette. I am a man, and you are women. In the future, I will always be mindful of the proper distance in my training of you, and you will do the same. You must always remember your identity as disciples and never give anyone cause for gossip or tarnish the reputation of my Liuli Peak. Do you two understand?"
During the conversation, Su Nian's gaze was mostly on Meng Feidie, only occasionally shifting to Shen Xingyue.
"...I understand," both of them replied, bowing with their hands clasped in greeting.
Qian Shudie thought to herself, "This is a curse."
That's despicable! They actually used their master-disciple relationship to intimidate me!
I traveled thousands of miles to Quanxiu, not to become your apprentice!
When she lowered her head, a barely perceptible, sickly smile appeared on Qian Shudie's lips.
Master and disciple?
Sorry, the demons don't buy into that.
The more you resist, the more excited I get.
Last time I wasn't prepared enough, and you managed to recover your strength and escape.
This time...
Qian Shudie touched the 100 jin of Grade 9 Soft Scripture Powder hidden in her storage ring.
These medicines can even knock out celestial-level magical beasts, I refuse to believe they won't have any effect on you!
Seeing the two people behaving so respectfully, Su Nian nodded.
After bidding farewell to the elders, he led Xu Xinrou, Qian Shudie, and Shen Xingyue to Liuli Peak.
Liuli Peak is in dire need of reconstruction. Although Su Nian cleaned the Liuli Palace on the summit again last time, the disciples' residences are still covered in dust.
If Su Nian wanted, she could sweep away all the dust with just a snap of her fingers.
But he doesn't intend to do that.
To make others feel more at home in Liuli Peak, he ordered Shen Xingyue and Qian Shudie, "See those empty houses?"
The two looked in the direction Su Nian pointed and saw the dusty courtyard. They nodded.
"Clean everything up before sunset. I don't want to see even a speck of dust," Su Nian said calmly.
Qian Shudie pouted, her eyes filled with resentment as she looked at Su Nian. "Such a big yard, are you just going to let the two of us clean it?"
“Otherwise what? I am the peak master of Liuli Peak, and Senior Sister Xu should be a disciple of Bingxin Peak. It’s already a great honor that she came. Do you think the two of us should do such a small thing as cleaning?” Su Nian said matter-of-factly.
Qian Shudie asked curiously, "But... didn't Senior Sister Xu come here to help?"
Shen Xingyue's gaze swept back and forth between the two faces. Sensing that the atmosphere was not right, she wisely shut her mouth.
Su Nian raised an eyebrow and said sternly, "Dare to talk back? Do what I tell you to do! Stop talking nonsense! If you don't want to do it, get out of Quanxiu!"
“You…” Qian Shudie was stunned.
She looked at Su Nian, who was scolding her, and her eyes reddened slightly.
He wasn't like this back in the Demon Realm...
Xu Xinrou felt sorry for her and wanted to say something, but Su Nian stopped her.
Su Nian said calmly, "I am your master now, and my orders are absolute. If you can't even do the most basic thing like obeying orders, then I think you don't need to stay!"
The atmosphere at the scene became somber...
Shen Xingyue wanted to speak up for Qian Shudie, but she had only recently become a disciple and didn't know how to dissuade her.
Qian Shudie's nose turned red, and her eyes became increasingly red.
Su Nian glanced sideways at Xu Xinrou.
Xu Xinrou immediately understood and stepped forward, saying, "Junior brother, today is only the first day of her apprenticeship. It's understandable that Fei Die is a newcomer and lacks proper manners. Please let her off this time."
Su Nian hesitated.
Seeing Su Nian waver, Shen Xingyue immediately spoke up for Qian Shudie: "Yes! Master, Senior Sister Xu is right. Fei Die had no intention of provoking your authority. She is still young and doesn't understand many things. Please forgive her this time."
"Well... since you've both said so, let's leave it at that for now." Su Nian pulled Xu Xinrou around and turned to Qian Shudie, saying, "You two must clean this courtyard thoroughly. I'll come to check at sunset. If it's not clean enough, you'll be punished by having to fetch a thousand buckets of water from down the mountain!"
He smiled and said, "I believe you would prefer cleaning the yard to carrying a thousand buckets of water."
After saying that, he led Xu Xinrou to the Glazed Palace.
Qian Shudie and Shen Xingyue were left behind.
