Inheriting A Divine Cultivation Clan At The Start, All My Juniors Are Empresses-Chapter 800 - 272 Have you transferred fortunes? Woooo, blessings to you!
After leaving the yard, An Xiaoning planned to go out and look for something to eat. Her stomach was incredibly hungry, probably because it had been some time since she'd last eaten. But just as she was strolling around looking for food, she suddenly saw three people walking towards her.
One of them was Bai Sisi, whom she knew from before. As the Patriarch of the Bai Family, Bai Sisi usually wasn't too flashy, but she still appeared to be a young girl of some importance. Now, Bai Sisi was walking beside two unfamiliar people and appeared astonishingly low-key, with a somewhat timid demeanor. Was this still the same Bai Sisi?
As for the man beside her, he was a handsome uncle. Slightly envious of the extravagant beauty walking next to him, An Xiaoning wondered if she could ever become such a woman. The very thought made her overly happy, though it also seemed a bit dangerous, given the man's imposition.
She couldn't help but wonder what kind of nourishment allowed him to grow to such a size.
"Hey."
She sensibly stuck to the right side of the wall as she walked, preparing to find something to eat.
At this moment, the handsome uncle suddenly spoke, saying, "An Xiaoning—ahem."
"Wuwuwu, why are you 'ahem'-ing me..." An Xiaoning felt instantly wronged.
Laughing, Yuchi, unsure if this place had classmates, corrected himself:
"Little sister An Xiaoning, I have a question to ask you. Would you be willing to come live with us in the sect?"
His gaze fell on An Xiaoning's two blood-stained pant legs. Previously, only one pant leg was covered in blood, but now another was too? Had something else happened? His remark left An Xiaoning looking shocked.
What did this handsome uncle mean? He wants to take me to live in a sect?
Living in a sect?
Could something this good actually happen in this world? Or was it… Suddenly frightened, An Xiaoning said, "Uncle, I don't have much meat, and I don't taste good when cooked."
Ah, she mistook Yuchi for someone who eats people, causing Zong Qianqun to laugh involuntarily and help Yuchi explain:
"Don't worry, Xiaoning. We've already discussed with Miss Bai. If you're willing to leave with us, after the tea-tasting event at Wanjian Manor, we'll take you to Tiesi City temporarily."
"After living in Tiesi City for about ten days, we'll bring you back to the mountain gate. You can live at the sect afterward."
Zong Qianqun, who hadn't yet joined the Ascension Gate, was surprised at the disciple's ability to help her speak up. Slightly amazed, Yuchi smiled and repeated:
"Yes, once things here wrap up, we can go back."
"Of course, we'll discuss specifics later. Do you really expect me to bully a little girl?"
"I still have some dignity, so I won't do something like that."
Yuchi's face conveyed a strong sense of security; his words didn't sound at all like lies.
An Xiaoning believed him, nodding in a daze.
By rights, she should feel really happy, as something so unexpected seemed like a beacon of light in her life.
But truly seeing the scene before her, she felt a bit dreamy. She'd never dared to imagine something like this could happen.
"Am I about to start a lucky streak?!" Looking at Yuchi, who was gazing at her like a refreshing breeze, her mind repeated this one phrase.
Then.
Feeling a bit dazed, she promptly and formally knelt down: "Sect Leader, I humbly offer my respect as a disciple!"
Courteously, Yuchi said, "Welcome to our little sect."
As the Sect Leader and disciple met for the first time, An Xiaoning, catching Yuchi off guard, pulled out a couple of silver pieces from her pocket. These small bits of silver, almost like bread crumbs, were scattered in her hand. She looked at Yuchi, feeling both pained and earnest:
"This is my gift to Sect Leader as a disciple's token of respect. Please accept it, Sect Leader."
Pained by the expenditure, she had saved those few pieces of silver for quite some time, but now that she could leave Wanjian Manor, she'd deal with it later. Looking at Yuchi's expression, it seemed he wouldn't deceive her; she really had nothing worth deceiving for.
Yuchi felt a bit helpless, understanding that disciples often offer a gift to their master, but her impoverished state was evident. He suggested she keep her silver and instead handed her an elixir:
"No need for money now; we'll discuss later specifics. Take this elixir and swallow it—I noticed you seem quite frail, don't let a prolonged illness take hold."
No money needed? She's being given an elixir instead? An Xiaoning was stunned, even Bai Sisi beside her was surprised. Was this sect so generous? Without requiring money, what kind of business did this sect do to be so affluent?
