Shen Yuan, fresh from retreat, didn't feel like fussing over the kitten's little tricks. He passively accepted Gong Buyu's nickname for Bai Xue.
Settling down at the stone table under the jujube tree, Shen Yuan looked at Gong Buyu and said in low tones:
"You've been my disciple for more than a month, and during that time I haven't taught you anything. On the contrary, you've made a standout performance at the Dao Conference, enhancing the reputation of the Falling Clouds Sect.
After coming back, you also diligently took care of Bai Xue, which indeed is commendable.
In our Falling Clouds Sect, we always reward according to efforts. If you need anything, feel free to voice it."
Shen Yuan's words didn't hold an iota of falsehood.
Although at the beginning, Shen Yuan saw Gong Buyu as a burden, being a suspicious agent from Gong Buhuo, he paid attention to her performance over time.
