Su Jie's choice surprised Zhang Junwei, who had just been so excited and now appeared so calm.
"Su Jie, make sure you think this through. My offer isn't always on the table. Once this opportunity is missed, there won't be another," he emphasized, perhaps genuinely valuing Su Jie's talent.
"Thank you for your generous offer, Sect Master, but I prefer to remain with my Master," Su Jie still chose to refuse, making Taoist Qiu very happy. His look became increasingly benevolent as he contentedly sipped his tea.
Zhang Junwei fell silent for a few seconds, staring at Su Jie as if he could see through to a person's very soul. Suddenly, he added a new twist, "Become my disciple, and I will give you thirty thousand Spirit Stones at once, and an additional one thousand Spirit Stones each month as a stipend."
Su Jie's expression subtly changed as his heart began to beat faster.
Pfft!
