Don't let your mind wander.
“Your senior brothers and sisters are all very easy to get along with. You are a newcomer and the youngest junior brother. They will take extra care of you on a daily basis.”
"If you need anything, you can ask your master or your senior brothers and sisters."
"Can I really ask Master?" Ji Jue asked cautiously.
As he spoke, he looked up at Qin Wan, a faint look of distress on his face.
Seeing this, Qin Wan asked, "Don't keep it to yourself, just say what you have to say."
Upon hearing this, Ji Jue mustered her courage and boldly said, "Disciple knows that Master is usually busy in seclusion and doesn't have much time, so disciple will try her best not to trouble Master."
"However, my senior brother's cultivation level is comparable to mine. If there are some problems in cultivation that even he is puzzled by, and Master is in seclusion, what should I do?"
As soon as Ji Jue said this, everyone's eyes turned to Qin Wan, and everyone was looking forward to her reply.
Under everyone's gaze, Qin Wan gave Ji Jue a reassuring smile.
“You’ve just started, and your spiritual talent isn’t as good as your senior brothers and sisters. For the sake of your cultivation, I won’t go into seclusion and leave you alone in the short term.”
"So don't worry. Now that I've accepted you as my disciple, I will definitely teach you well and won't delay your progress."
Upon hearing Qin Wan's words, the expressions of Xiao Han, Jiang Shuyu, and Nangong Rou all changed.
Qin Wan is far too biased towards Ji Jue!
Not only did the three senior and junior siblings' expressions change drastically, but even the sect leader and elders watching from the sidelines had complicated expressions.
She looked at Qin Wan, hesitant to speak, as if she didn't understand what was so special about Ji Jue that made her so fond of him.
"Master, you are so kind!"
After receiving Qin Wan's "promise," Ji Jue smiled excitedly and contentedly.
[Ji Jue's affection level increased by 2, current affection level 12.]
Qin Wan's favoritism and Xiao Han's and the other two's hostility made Ji Jue very happy.
During the subsequent selection process for personal disciples, Qin Wan and her five disciples had different thoughts.
Ji Jue liked to talk, and would often strike up a conversation with Xiao Han...
Ji Jue: "How long has Senior Brother been a disciple of Master?"
Xiao Han: "Ten years."
Ji Jue: "I'm so envious of my senior brother. He was able to become a disciple of Master so early and have such an excellent, gentle and good master."
"If only I could have met Master earlier, like my senior brother..."
"Then I will definitely treat my master very well."
Xiao Han: "???"
Does he mean that he, as the senior disciple, has not treated his master well? Has he not cared for or paid enough attention to him?
Hearing Ji Jue's "thoughtful" words, Qin Wan's gaze softened as she looked at him.
“What kind of disciple takes care of their master? It is I who have not done a good job and have neglected you fellow disciples.”
"No, Master, you are at a crucial moment in your cultivation breakthrough. As your disciples, it is our duty to take good care of Phoenix Mountain so that you have no worries."
"Moreover, after Master broke through, his guidance on our cultivation became extremely beneficial..."
It has to be said, Ji Jue really knows how to talk.
After he said that, everyone present was stunned.
Qin Wan's gaze softened as she looked at him, while the sect leader's expression became complex, a mixture of joy and displeasure.
He had only said it casually, telling Ji Jue to take good care of Qin Wan, but he never expected that his disciple would do such a good job, so good that he had no complaints.
Xiao Han opened his mouth, but didn't know what to say.
Does that mean Ji Jue is wrong?
Or does he share the same thoughts as Ji Jue?
But Ji Jue's words made him very uncomfortable, as if he, as the senior brother, had not done a good job in many aspects and was not competent enough.
"Wan'er, we made the right choice in taking this disciple!" The sect leader's excited words broke the awkward atmosphere.
Qin Wan snapped out of her reverie, her gaze towards Ji Jue becoming even gentler and softer. "Indeed, Ji Jue is a very well-behaved and lovable child."
Upon hearing Qin Wan's words, Ji Jue should have been happy, but for some reason, the word "child" made him frown almost imperceptibly.
"Should we take one or two more while we're at it?" the sect leader asked, pressing his advantage.
Upon hearing this, Qin Wan was taken aback, while Ji Jue's eyes darkened.
"If we could receive one or two more people like me who can take care of our master, that would be wonderful," Ji Jue said.
Upon hearing this, the sect leader was taken aback.
Xiao Han: "???" So, his existence is superfluous?
Jiang Shuyu frowned, his gaze toward Ji Jue growing increasingly cold.
Nangong Rou hesitated, her gaze towards Ji Jue filled with complex emotions.
Qin Wan was slightly taken aback, then looked at Ji Jue, "You want more junior brothers and sisters?"
Upon hearing this, Ji Jue was taken aback. He hadn't expected Qin Wan's first reaction to be to ask him...
Ji Jue shook his head, "Disciple has no opinion. Whatever choice Master makes, disciple will support it."
"I was just thinking that if Master really wanted to take on one or two more disciples, he would definitely choose the kind who could take care of people."
"Master usually stays in seclusion, and it's rare that he's planning to relax these days. If he takes in someone who can't take care of people, it will inevitably require Master to expend a lot of energy to worry about them..."
"I just didn't want Master to be tired, so I said a few extra words, hoping to alleviate Master's troubles."
Ji Jue's words were so comforting.
Even the sect leader nodded repeatedly in agreement.
really.
If you receive a disciple who is a nuisance, it's better not to accept one at all.
If I could find someone as thoughtful and sensible as Ji Jue, I wouldn't mind having a few more.
Thinking of this, the sect leader subconsciously looked towards Xiao Hanjiang, Shu Yu, and the three senior brothers and sisters, Nangong Rou.
These three are quite easy to manage, but none of them are as warm and considerate as Ji Jue.
"What if I don't want to accept you? Will you be sad and have no one to accompany you?" Qin Wan asked again.
Upon hearing this, Ji Jue was taken aback once again.
She cares about his thoughts...?
"Master?" Ji Jue looked slightly puzzled, as if he didn't understand what Qin Wan was trying to say.
"If I no longer accept disciples, you will be the youngest disciple in Phoenix Mountain, and you will have to call everyone you meet 'senior brother' or 'senior sister'."
"If I were to take on a few more disciples, you could become one of them."
"Moreover, when new disciples join your sect, you won't feel lonely, nor will you feel that you've arrived too late and can't integrate into Phoenix Mountain."
At this point, Qin Wan paused, looking at Ji Jue with a complicated expression.
"But my energy is limited and I am unable to be in two places at once. Although I plan to rest for a while now, I will not go into seclusion for the time being."
"But as you said..."
"My time is limited. If I were to teach only you, it would certainly be of great benefit to you and would also take good care of your cultivation and state of mind."
"Moreover, I have wronged your eldest brother, second brother, and third sister before. This time, while teaching you, I will definitely urge and care about their progress in cultivation."
"So... if I take on more disciples, I will inevitably be unable to take care of you, Xiao Hanshu, Yu Rourou, and the others, and I will be negligent in my duties."
