"I'm just taking a look around. You guys continue on duty."
Although Ah Jiang was secretly delighted, he did not show it on his face, but said calmly.
"Yes, Your Highness, Your Highness." The two disciples then bowed and withdrew.
After that, whenever people saw A-Jiang, even if they didn't go up to greet her or speak, they would stand to the side with their heads bowed and hands at their sides, and only greet her and leave after she had passed by.
After satisfying his initial vanity, Ajahn discovered that it was actually quite troublesome.
Just as I was feeling uneasy, we arrived at the restaurant.
She entered with delight, and the noise in the restaurant immediately subsided upon her arrival. Everyone stood up to greet her, and there were all sorts of comments.
The shopkeeper and waiter had already come over eagerly. They were not considered disciples of the Qinglian Sect, so they did not perform the disciple etiquette.
However, looking at Ah Jiang's clothes, his expression became even more respectful, and he said, "Young lady, what do you need?"
Do you have a private room?
"Yes, please come upstairs."
Ah Jiang finally found some peace and quiet. She ordered eight dishes to satisfy her hunger. After eating and drinking her fill, she left the spirit stone and headed to the clothing shop.
Having concealed his spiritual power and slightly disguised his appearance, A-Jiang entered the Cloud Thought Pavilion.
High-level magic robes are all custom-made, while the clothing shops only display low-level magic robes, or even ordinary clothes that have no protective power but are just nice-looking.
These dresses weren't cheap, but they were very popular. Ah Jiang only stood there for a short while before seeing several groups of female disciples happily buy them.
A maid noticed that she had been looking around and came over to ask, "Miss, what style would you like to buy? Let me show you."
The woman was quite gentle, and A-Jiang thought she was nice, so he said, "I'd like to buy a ceremonial robe, but I don't think these in the shop are suitable. Do you have anything better?"
She said in a gentle tone, "We have some robes on the second floor. I'll take you up there to take a look."
A-Jiang followed her into the second floor. There were far fewer people on the second floor, and the decorations were more elegant. Small rooms were partially separated by screens and flowers, and several jade ornaments with flowing water emitted wisps of white mist, making the entire second floor feel ethereal and peaceful.
“The layout here is quite nice,” Ajahn praised.
The maid smiled and said, "It was all our boss's idea. I'm glad you like it, young lady."
After saying that, she led Ah Jiang to a private room and then turned around to serve tea.
Another maid in pink whispered something to her, and A-Jiang's hearing was sharp enough to catch it.
"Why did you bring a handyman disciple up here? She looks so poor, what good things could she afford? She probably won't even earn back the cost of tea."
"Since this person wants to buy a robe, I naturally led him up. Besides, didn't the sect leader say that we shouldn't judge people by their appearance?"
"What do you know? Judging from her clothes, she's just a menial disciple. Do you even know what a menial disciple is? These days, even someone at the fifth level of Qi Refining can become a nominal disciple. She'll probably be a janitor for life. And she's buying a magic robe? Pfft, I think she's just trying to act all high and mighty."
The two had already walked far away while they were talking, and Ah Jiang could no longer hear anything.
She hadn't been a core disciple for long, and although she didn't like putting on airs or being flattered and fawned over, the thought of being looked down upon like this still made her feel resentful.
Moreover, the maid said she would serve tea, but no one came for a long time, which made her even more uncomfortable.
