After the sect leader took the lead, the other elders couldn't refuse to give gifts, and each pulled out their most precious possessions. They had no choice; if they gave something insignificant, everyone else's gifts would be valuable, and they'd lose face; if they gave something truly precious, they couldn't bear to part with it—their hearts would bleed! But they had no choice but to give. What a swindler! She hadn't even officially become a disciple of the Supreme Elder yet, and she'd already been swindled out of her treasures! They all hated Sui Yi with a vengeance, wishing they could slap her far away and make her an eyesore.
Ziyou was completely stunned by Suiyi's incredible actions, staring at her blankly. His mind was filled with countless questions: Was this still the innocent Ningning he knew?
After receiving the gifts, Suiyi beamed and put them all back into her spatial storage.
"Fellow disciples, when will my master return?"
"We don't know either!"
"Elder, hurry back and take this scoundrel of yours away! He's utterly despicable!" the elders cried out in their hearts. Perhaps their sincerity moved Heaven, for just as they were calling out, the Elder returned, his figure flashing into the main hall.
"Uncle!" Suiyi walked over and called out.
"What uncle? You've already accepted all the gifts from your senior brothers, why are you still calling me uncle? Hurry up and call me master, and serve me tea!" Qingrong looked at the grinning Suiyi with annoyance.
"Hehe!" Sui Yi looked around to see if the tea set next to the sect leader had been touched. Sui Yi walked over and brought the tea set to her.
"Senior Brother Sect Leader, please heat up the water here, thank you!" Sui Yi placed the kettle on the tea table in front of the Sect Leader, said this to him, and then began to arrange the tea set on her own.
The elders were overjoyed: Haha! That's great! This must be a real blow to the sect leader's ego; it's the first time they've seen him get the short end of the stick.
The sect leader really wanted to roll his eyes at the sky, disregarding his dignity. This was just too infuriating! He was being treated like free labor, and even worse, like a servant serving hot water. How pathetic!
Even Qingrong was taken aback by her outrageous actions, and then looked at her with a helpless expression.
Suiyi did not use the tea leaves here, but instead took out a top-quality Tieguanyin tea from her spatial storage, which she had collected from another world.
Sui Yi first scalded the teapot, then washed the teacups, then washed the tea leaves, brewed the tea, and poured the tea. Her series of actions were simply those of an expert, as smooth and effortless as flowing water, a delight to watch.
Finally, the tea was poured, and Suiyi carried it to Qingrong, kneeling down to serve it.
"Master, please have some tea!"
"Okay!" Qingrong smiled as she took the teacup, swirled it a few times, took a small sip, and then put the teacup back.
"Now, Ci Ning, you are my personal disciple, Qing Rong! You are granted unique privileges within the Xuanfeng Sect, and you are allowed to roam freely throughout the entire Xuanfeng Sect. Of course, there must be limits."
"Yes!" Sui Yi raised an eyebrow. She loved this sentence the most. It was worth having a master. If she ever tried to get close to the female lead, someone would be there to protect her! Haha!
"Alright! You must be tired today, go and rest! I'll take you down the mountain for training in a month." Qingrong said kindly, looking at her.
The elders were practically clapping in welcome. It was good he was coming down the mountain; he wouldn't be causing them any more trouble. However, they could imagine the chaos he'd create in the next month. It seemed they'd have to instruct their disciples to keep the doors locked tight.
Sui Yi had no idea that simply asking for a gift had already landed her on the elders' blacklist!
"good!"
"Come on, Master will take you to see my mountain. Wherever you like, we'll make that your cave dwelling." The Supreme Elder stood up, walked to Suiyi, and led her to his cave dwelling.
They give off a feeling of being mountain kings. No wonder they are master and disciple; their temperaments are compatible, and they are birds of a feather.
Leaving Ziyou still standing there dumbfounded, the Grand Elder glared at him irritably, "Aren't you going to come and become my disciple?"
"Ah! Oh!" Ziyou finally came to his senses and bowed respectfully to serve tea.
"Master, I want to look around."
"Go ahead! Ask a senior brother at the gate to go with you." The elder waved his hand, letting him go have some fun on his own.
"Alright! That's all for the important matters. Let's go to the training ground and see if there are any suitable disciples. We can recruit them and place them under our command." The elders also stood up and walked out.
"Master, I heard that Xuanfeng Sect is divided into outer and inner courtyards. Which courtyard are you the Supreme Elder of?" Suiyi asked, following behind Qingrong.
"Of course it's the entire Xuanfeng Sect! The elders you just saw were from the inner courtyard; those from the outer courtyard aren't qualified to be here."
"Then why are all the new disciples allowed to come here?"
"Because even the inner court needs to recruit good talents for training. Only when the inner court elders don't find someone they like can the outer court elders choose."
"Oh! Is that so!" Sui Yi understood. It seemed she was quite lucky; she had become an inner courtyard disciple right away... the sect leader's junior brother. Hehe!
"What are you grinning about, little one?" Sui Yi laughed out loud without realizing it, and Qing Rong stopped and looked at her curiously.
"Master, what gift are you going to give me? My fellow disciples all gave me gifts earlier."
"You're so clever. After I ascend to immortality, everything will be yours."
"Master, are you willing to part with it?" Ascending to heaven, leaving this place for another realm, everything starts all over again.
"When you get old, you don't have much passion left! Ascension is just following the will of Heaven. Now I have another goal: I'll go to another world to conquer the world for you, so that when you ascend, you can enjoy the shade under my big tree!"
"Hehe! Thank you, Master."
"Silly girl!"
