The lady of the pavilion gradually calmed down and smiled apologetically at Chu Hongluan: "I'm sorry, I made you laugh."
"You flatter me, Madam."
The lady of the pavilion seemed to have thought of something, and pulled a token from her waist and stuffed it into Chu Hongluan's hand: "Young friend, you saved my son's life. I have thought about it and I don't know how to repay you. So I give you this token. With this token, you can enjoy the highest courtesy in all shops under the Tianji Pavilion and have all your consumption free."
Chu Hongluan was indeed tempted, but her purpose in coming here was to kill someone; after all, there was no reason to kill someone's son and then take their money...
Seeing Chu Hongluan hesitate, Liu Jinghong stepped forward to promote his family's businesses: "Miss Chu, please accept it! Tianji Pavilion's shops are all over the entire Shenyin Continent. There's the Jifeng Intelligence Agency that sells intelligence, the Zhouyi Hall that tells fortunes, and the talisman shops that sell talismans, pills, and magic artifacts. There are also dozens of restaurants. I asked my mother for some the other day, but she was unwilling to give them to me."
No sooner had he finished speaking than Liu Jinghong received a sharp rap on the head from the Pavilion Master's wife.
"You wasteful good-for-nothing want a token? If I gave it to you, your cronies would probably take it all in no time!"
Liu Jinghong was embarrassed in front of Chu Hongluan, and gritted her teeth in dissatisfaction, but dared not retaliate.
Chu Hongluan found it amusing. Since things had gone this far, it would be disrespectful for her not to accept the gift: "Then thank you, Madam."
Liu Jinghong spoke again: "Mother, Miss Chu is here to participate in the apprenticeship ceremony."
The Pavilion Master's wife was slightly surprised: "Young friend Chu, with such cultivation, doesn't have a master?"
Chu Hongluan smiled and said, "I am just a rogue cultivator, please forgive my humble appearance, Madam."
Her cultivation level wasn't something she was taught; it was forged through countless battles and bloodshed.
"Not at all, Miss Chu, you're a sword cultivator, aren't you? If you're willing to join the Sword Peak of my Heavenly Mystery Pavilion, I'll take it upon myself to accept you as my personal disciple on behalf of the Peak Master. However, the disciple-acceptance ceremony will require you to go through the motions."
Chu Hongluan was taken aback. She had originally planned to become Liu Jinghong's junior sister by joining the main peak of the Heavenly Mystery Pavilion, but now she remembered that the main peak of the Heavenly Mystery Pavilion was for cultivating the three paths of divination, arrays, and talismans. As a rough person who played with knives, she really couldn't learn such delicate things.
After considering all this, joining the Blade Peak Sect might be a good option, at least for the sake of freedom.
Since they're all on the same mountain, she'll always have a chance to kill someone.
“Of course,” Chu Hongluan replied.
"The apprenticeship ceremony is still a few days away, so I'll arrange a courtyard for young friend Chu to stay in first."
