Sect Master Gunung received the contract and read it. The next moment, his expression changed. "This! A cooperation agreement between the Mountain Dew and Pill Ascension Sect!"
"What? Pill Ascension Sect? Sect master, did you read that right? Why would they want to cooperate with us?" An Elder asked.
"Disciple Anda, is this real?" Gunung ignored the elder and asked Anda for confirmation.
From his point of view, although the contract appears to indicate cooperation between the two sects, the details of the contract say otherwise. From the beginning to the end, only the Mountain Dew Sect stands to gain all the benefits.
How could the Pill Ascension Sect agree to something like this? Was the Mystic Realm worth all of this? The small Mountain Dew Sect had nothing to offer them.
As the sect master, he naturally was aware of the importance of the Mystic Realm, but he didn't know that it was this important. Any thoughts on inquiring about the Mystic Realm spots from her instantly vanished. This was not something his poor sect could request.
"You should thank my husband for this. If he hadn't insisted on this exchange, I wouldn't have traded it for a spot in the Mystic Realm. Unlike me, he loves his sect so much." Anda changed the narrative to increase her husband's prestige in the sect.
Leyvi almost choked on the food he was eating. Cough cough, when did I do that? Well, I indeed love the mountains here and am fond of the sect, but saying it was me.....What is his wife planning now? However, since Anda had modified the script, he naturally would have to follow along.
On the other hand, Layla's eyes were sparkling. Other people might not know how the negotiation went, but she knows. Anda had negotiated everything from start to finish. Which means she had planned everything since then.
Big Madam is so cool and smart! She only needed to change the narrative a little and now they would have immense gratitude for Leyvi. Layla's admiration for Anda increased again.
Sure enough, their eyes become teary. "Di-Disciple Leyvi....I didn't know that you love our sect so much!" Sect Master Gunung was touched.
Although Leyvi felt awkward being on the receiving end of their heartfelt gratitude when he did nothing to deserve it, he had to get on board with Anda's plan. So Leyvi stood up and entered 'Actor Leyvi' mode.
"Haha. Sect Master, how can I not love my sect? I am the way I am now because of this sect. Without the Mountain Dew Sect, my wife and I might have already perished somewhere outside, unable to cultivate, unable to have the fate of husband and wife in this lifetime."
"If not for the Mountain Dew Sect providing their disciples with such a peaceful environment to cultivate, how could I have reached this far? Now that I can contribute to the sect, how could I miss this opportunity? Ultimately, all these were only possible due to my wife's efforts and abilities."
"All I did was take advantage of her love for me, putting in some sweet words to change her decision and contribute to the sect that raised us both. Although we decided to establish our own cultivation family, we will forever be Mountain Dew Sect's disciples. Sect Master, I hope our sect will rise again and return to our past glory!"
Leyvi finished his speech with a sincere wish for the sect. Although he was acting, his emotions and wishes were true, so his performance was very convincing. It was so convincing that a few ladies in the hall had their hearts beating fast, including Anda.
Leyvi looked at Gunung and was surprised to see that he was crying. His tears were flowing down his cheeks and dropped on his robe, drenching it.
Did I make it too touching? Even if it was touching, how could a sect master cry? Leyvi found it unbelievable.
"Very good! Disciple Leyvi, I'm glad that you have such sentiment towards the sect. The Mountain Dew Sect was blessed to have a disciple like you!" Gunung praised.
He was truly glad that his policies produced cultivators like Leyvi, who had a strong sense of belonging to the sect. After all, not everyone agreed with his approach. Some wanted the sect to have a harsher environment with constant competition so that the disciples would grow stronger faster, but he was the opposite.
He felt that an extremely competitive environment would cause the disciples to rush and pick unsuitable paths for themselves and ruin their progress in the long run. After all, he was speaking this from experience.
So, he wanted the sect to provide the most peaceful and relaxing environment for cultivation. By doing this, they would be able to choose the path they were most suited for and progress at their own pace. He hasn't been the sect master for long, but his policies were already showing significant progress. How could he not cry?
"How about this? I will also grant you the title of the sect's Honorary Elder together with your wife. Although it was just a title, your names will be recorded in the sect's historical archive as a form of respect and recognition of your contributions. Any objections?" Sect Master Gunung looked around and asked the sect elders.
Nobody objected. They read the contract themselves and knew how much benefit cooperation would bring them. It was definitely worthy of being given an Honorary Elder title.
Leyvi smiled. Although the honorary title wasn't really useful to him, having his name in the sect's history made him quite happy.
After the feast ended, Leyvi brought Tal and Bana to his house in the inner sect area. Entering the house, he didn't feel nostalgic at all because he was only here for a short time. If it was the house he lived in for ten years in the outer sect, he would have felt it.
"Stripey, Mr. Bison, Scarlet, come out." Leyvi summoned the small monkey, bison, and red fox.
"Umm, Boss. Are we back to the Mountain Dew Sect?" Stripey looked around.
"Hahaha! Yes. We are staying here for a week before we go back to Bara City. You can go play until then." Leyvi replied.
Stripey immediately disappeared from Leyvi's sight. The past month was too boring for him, as he had to stay in the spirit beast bag most of the time. So, he decided to go to the nearby mortal city to be a vigilante, his usual hobby.
"Boss! Can I eat the grasses around here? Look at how long they are. The quality looks great!" Mr. Bison drooled.
"Sure... eat all of them if you can." Leyvi rolled his eyes. Of course, he noticed the grass first. Well, he hasn't been here for a year already. The grasses were indeed thick and long.
"How about you Scarlet? Do you want to play outside?" Leyvi asked.
"I'll pass. I prefer staying indoors. Boss, where is the bathroom? I want to clean my furs. I need the shampoo that Madam Anda made for me, too." Scarlet entered the house.
"Here you go." Leyvi gave her the shampoo Anda made with alchemy. It was a product great for animal fur. Scarlet loved using it.
Tal and Bana were watching Leyvi's interactions with his spirit beasts. Although they had witnessed it so many times, the sight of Leyvi talking to them never failed to impress them. After all, the other beast tamers could only communicate with their spirit beasts through their mental connection while Leyvi talked to his spirit beasts like normal people.
On Anda's side, she brought the ladies to her house, which was much bigger than Leyvi's because she was a core disciple.
She planned to teach the alchemists at the Alchemy Hall for a week. After all, there were many cultivators like her, before she got the Alchemy Vision, here. If she could improve their alchemy skills, their lives would be much better.
"Anda, what's going on here? Why does your husband have many wives now? Are you fine with it? Did he wrong you?" Vivian unleashed a barrage of questions on Anda in her room.
She was shocked when the situation with Selene and Ava was revealed in the Guest Hall. She expected Anda to be upset, but contrary to her expectations, Anda was completely fine with it. What happened in this one year?
"Sister Vivian. What do you think about Lilian now?" Anda replied to her with a question instead.
Vivian felt baffled, but she answered thoughtfully. "She has changed a lot, obviously. I see that she didn't blush all the time anymore. Also, she can interact with people much better now. This is all thanks to you, Anda. I knew Lilian could break through if she gained more experience, and I was right. Now, answer my question!"
Anda smiled mischievously. "Sister Vivian, guess who do you think is my husband's second wife?"
Vivian's eyes widened. What? Impossible! Anda and Lilian were sharing a husband? How did this happen? Her introverted sister? Married? It's hard for her to imagine it.
"Anda, are you sure you are fine with this? Sharing your husband?" Vivian was serious.
"Of course, I'm fine with it. To be accurate, I wanted my husband to have more wives so I could have more sisters. I have already warned you previously. Don't regret it now. Hehe." Anda giggled.
"Huaaaaa...Andaaaa.....thank you.....my little sister is finally married.....huaaaaa...." Vivian suddenly cried and hugged Anda.
Huh? Why is the reaction different from what she expected? Where's the angry sister? Anda was stunned.
