Silence, there was only silence that followed after I said this.
I didn't mind as I just calmly waited for their reaction, but it seemed like the other side didn't feel the same.
It was clear that they had been greatly shocked by what I had shown them.
After a long period of silence, Elder Tian and Liu Ao Xue looked at each other as if they were confirming something.
Seeing the other person looking at them, they slowly gave nods to each other.
Then they turned back to the pile on the ground again and slowly gave a gulp.
These were real, there was no way of mistaking that since they could feel the spiritual energy coming from these high grade spirit stones.
So they slowly looked back up at me with strange looks.
It was as if they were trying to figure out who I was.
It was at this time that I said, "Is that enough to become your disciple, sect master?"
Liu Ao Xue's face twisted when she heard this.
There was a part of her that wanted to go back on her words, but there was a stronger part of her that wouldn't allow herself to go back on her words that easily.
If she were to back down on what she said now…it would be like going against her own pride.
And she couldn't do that…
So in the end, Liu Ao Xue said with a sigh, "Fine, I'll accept you as my disciple from this day forth."
I immediately revealed a wide smile, but I also quickly fell to one knee and said, "Greetings to master!"
Liu Ao Xue was surprised to see this since she had already formed a pretty bad impression of me. But seeing me act this way, she thought that perhaps she had been too hasty.
With a nod, Liu Ao Xue said, "Alright, you can get up."
But after a momentary pause, she asked, "There's something that I want to ask you actually."
I was surprised to hear this, but with a smile, I said, "Master, if there's anything you want to ask of me, please ask. I'll answer anything you want me to answer."
Liu Ao Xue revealed a smile when she heard this before saying in a more gentle voice, "I just wanted to ask, if you have this much money, why do you want to come to a small sect like ours? If you wanted, I'm sure that you could go to a much more powerful sect and still be welcomed warmly with all the money that you have. There's no need for you to come to our sect."
Elder Tian nodded in agreement with this before looking right at me.
I revealed a smile when I heard this since I had already been expecting this question.
Of course, it wasn't as if I could just tell them about my system and the mission that it gave me, right?
So I could only make an excuse for now.
After stroking my chin for a bit, I said, "Fate, it was fate that drew me here?"
"Fate?" Both Elder Tian and Liu Ao Xue asked in confused voices at the same time.
With a nod, I said with a bright smile, "I believe that it was fate that led me here to this beautiful master of mine."
Liu Ao Xue had a stunned look on her face at first before a blush quickly came over it.
She turned away at first before turning back to say with an angry look, "You! The only thing that you have is your glib lip, don't you!"
I had the same smile on my face as I took a step forward and said, "Master, may I say something?"
Liu Ao Xue couldn't help feeling like she wanted to take a step back when she heard this and saw that smile on my face. But since I was her disciple now, she held back that feeling and didn't move back.
Instead, she just said with a nod, "What is it?"
Without a single word, I suddenly went forward.
As I leaned forward, I fell to my knees and reached my arms out to grab Liu Ao Xue's leg before saying, "I'll be depending on master to protect me from now on! I'll grab tight onto these big legs!"
Silence…there was only silence that followed after I did this.
Everyone looked at me like I was crazy, but I didn't care at all as I pressed my face into her thighs.
As expected, a beauty of her caliber really was different.
Her thighs were like soft pillows as I put my face in them, caressing my cheeks just like clouds. It was soft, but at the same time, it was so elastic that I could feel it bouncing me back.
This was without a doubt a top grade thigh.
Liu Ao Xue had been so stunned that she wasn't able to react at first, but then she suddenly kicked me off.
I went flying through the air and if it wasn't for Elder Tian acting in time, I would have slammed into the ground.
Liu Ao Xue looked at me with a red face and an angry look, but she didn't do anything to me in the end since I was her disciple now. If she really killed me, then it would just hurt her own reputation for killing her disciple.
But of course, she was flustered and angry at being taken advantage of like this, so she said, "You! You! You shameless disciple! I don't want to see you again from now on!"
I just calmly said, "But master, what about teaching me cultivation techniques?"
Liu Ao Xue was stunned for a second, but then she said with an angry expression, "Don't come looking for me, I will come look for you when it's time to teach you!"
Without waiting for me to say another word, she flew up into the sky and disappeared from sight.
When she was gone, I revealed a faint smile and stood up to pat the dust off myself.
I could see the way that Lin Li Zi was looking at me, so I calmly said, "This is all according to my plan."
