Chapter 22
Elder Yuzhu could not help advising her.
“Are you sure you want to choose Huayu? She’s the youngest among the elders, only twenty-five years old. She doesn’t have much experience teaching disciples.”
“It’s fine. I feel that Elder Huayu and I are very fated, so I want to take her as my master.”
The system protested from the side.
You just saw that Tianji Peak has barely anyone there, so it’s quiet and relaxing. You’re just lazy!
Li Xilian continued spouting nonsense.
“Elder Huayu is so beautiful. She must be kind-hearted as well. Surely she’ll accept a good-for-nothing like me, right?”
That frivolous tone…
Why did it feel as if she, an elder, had just been teased by a disciple?
Elder Huayu looked at the cold, aloof person in front of her and decided it had to be an illusion.
“All right. I accept.”
It was Huayu’s first time taking in a disciple. She felt that she ought to give her new disciple a greeting gift, but after searching around for a while, she found nothing suitable.
With no other choice, she removed the hairpin from her own hair and handed it to Li Xilian.
“I don’t have anything good on me. I’ll give you this Hunling Hairpin.”
“Eh? Huayu, back when I wanted to borrow that hairpin from you, you couldn’t bear to lend it to me. And now you’re giving it to her so easily?”
The sect master angrily complained about the unfair treatment.
Li Xilian was also surprised.
The only hairpin she was wearing, and she just… gave it to me?
“Thank you, Master. But now that Master has no hairpin, your hair has fallen loose.”
Li Xilian asked the system for one, and 009 was not stingy. It rummaged through the system space and tossed one to its host.
Li Xilian did not think much of it and took it out directly.
But the moment she did, someone grabbed her hand.
“Eh?”
“This… this thing on it is! No way!”
The moment the Tianrui Sect Master saw it, she completely disregarded her image and rushed over.
Li Xilian’s instincts told her that something was not quite right.
“Sect Master!”
She shot the sect master a look. The sect master immediately understood and set up an array, covering herself, Li Xilian, and Huayu first so no one below could spread word of this.
“What is it, Sect Master?”
Li Xilian found it a little strange.
Was such a big reaction necessary? Wasn’t it just a hairpin?
“How do you have this? The thing embedded in it isn’t some ordinary stone. It’s a dragon pearl! A dragon pearl from an ancient divine beast!”
The sect master was so shocked she no longer cared about maintaining her dignity.
The moment those words came out, even Huayu’s little face changed drastically.
!!!
“Oh. I bought it casually from a roadside stall. I thought it looked nice, so I bought it.”
Li Xilian lied with her eyes wide open.
The sect master and Huayu were instantly speechless.
A rare treasure had been summed up by you so casually?
“Sect Master, may I ask you to let go first? This is the greeting gift I’m giving to my master.”
Li Xilian did not like other people touching her, and her brows furrowed slightly.
The sect master widened her eyes.
“You know what kind of treasure this is, and you still want to give it away?”
“I only acknowledge this one master. If I don’t treat my own master well, then who should I treat well?”
Li Xilian shrugged indifferently.
“Then do you mind acknowledging one more? Actually, having two masters isn’t impossible.”
The sect master said this with absolutely no backbone, even tugging at Li Xilian’s sleeve like a little girl.
“Sorry. I only acknowledge one master.”
After saying that, Li Xilian helped Huayu gather her loosened hair and gently inserted the hairpin.
“Sigh. Huayu really has taken in a good disciple… What good fortune. Her disciple is so beautiful too.”
Huayu blushed at the teasing.
“Sect Master…”
“All right, all right. Although I do want the dragon pearl too, since it’s been given to you, make good use of it.”
The sect master thought of something and cast a spell on the hairpin, making it look like nothing more than a pretty ordinary item.
“You absolutely cannot let anyone else know about it. Good thing your disciple was clever. Otherwise, the secret would have slipped.”
Huayu nodded, then quietly said thank you to her disciple.
Li Xilian waved it off.
Only after they finished talking did the sect master remove the barrier.
The people outside had no idea what had happened.
After all, the barrier wasn’t transparent.
All they could see was Elder Huayu’s slightly flushed face after the barrier disappeared.
Was a threesome really that exciting?
At the last sentence, is that really the translation?
