"Yea, I would like to believe that we are family now." Liling nodded her head, which made Zhangsun Shan smile even more. However, he tried his best to hold on to his excitement.
"I see. Now that we're family, why aren't you allowing me to grab that book?" He asked.
"Well, I said I believe that we're a family. However, we aren't a family just yet." She replied.
"What do you mean?" He tilted his head in confusion. She said that they were family and then denied it at the same time. He really didn't know what to believe at that point.
"We're going to the shrine tomorrow. Once you get the blessings of the elder, you will officially be a member of the Tao sect." She replied.
"Tao sect? Elder?" Zhangsun Shan never expected Liling to belong in any sect. So, this was entirely a new information for him.
