Protect Our Chief-Chapter 564 - 40 Great Celestial Pride! Followers_3

"What?"

Mo Waoqiu was originally full of confidence, but upon hearing this, she was quite discouraged.

She, a Little Celestial Pride, wanted to become a follower and was directly rejected? Moreover, she couldn’t even see Uncle-Master Liyao?

"Young lady, let me make it clear to you. You want to be a follower merely to seek a backing for protection." Shang Jiping scoffed, "With your abilities, how could you possibly provide any assistance to Miss Liyao? Leave now, and do not disturb Miss Liyao’s cultivation. If you trespass on forbidden ground again, you will be confined."

With that said, before Mo Waoqiu could respond, an invisible energy hit her little boat, causing it to keep retreating.

After driving her away completely, Shang Jiping in the small house sighed and said, "This is already the third ignorant one this month. The Purple Mansion Academy’s pond is simply too small; even Little Celestial Prides dare to come forward. Perhaps only the Lingyun Sacred Land can transform Miss Liyao into a True Phoenix."

However, Shang Jiping also understood that the dean must have his own plans.

Compared to the fierce competition at the Lingyun Sacred Land, Miss Liyao received singular favor at the Purple Mansion Academy; her development would not be bad either.

While Shang Jiping was lost in thought, another small boat sailed over.

Standing on this small boat was a young sturdy youth, with cultivation only at the Qi Refining Realm Seventh Layer, dressed very plainly, his cultivation demeanor far inferior to Mo Waoqiu just now.

Yet this time, Shang Jiping raised an eyebrow slightly, somewhat displeased but did not block him.

After landing, the young man bowed from afar to Shang Jiping: "Lu Xianghui pays respect to Elder Shang."

That’s right.

This young man was Lu Xianghui.

Miss Liyao had already instructed that she and Lu Xianghui are friends, and Lu Xianghui could visit the island to see her anytime.

Shang Jiping rolled his eyes, inwardly feeling that this kid really had a stroke of luck, grabbing a golden thigh to hang onto, making Shang Jiping both envious and somewhat resentful.

In contrast, his Shang Family did not have such luck.

"Senior Brother Lu is here." At this moment, a heavenly voice came from a pavilion on the island, "Please come in. Did my father send another letter?"

"Yes, Uncle-Master Liyao."

Lu Xianghui took a large package off the boat and carried it in, huffing and puffing.

Soon after.

He carried the package to the pavilion, and Wang Liyao courteously came out to invite him in, smiling gracefully, "Senior Brother Lu, thank you again for fetching the parcel." 𝒇𝙧𝙚𝓮𝙬𝙚𝓫𝒏𝓸𝓿𝓮𝒍.𝓬𝙤𝓶

"It’s no trouble at all. Whether it’s one or more, I’m getting it anyway, and Uncle-Master Liyao provides a fee as well." Lu Xianghui lowered his head, not daring to look at her, "Uncle-Master, please do not call me Senior Brother."

He didn’t expect that the sister he casually met on the road was a Great Celestial Pride, and her true appearance was like a fairy descending upon the world.

"No matter, each calls as they wish." Wang Liyao offered Spirit Tea, hosting Lu Xianghui, without showing any neglect due to his humble status.

After sipping a few cups of Spirit Tea, Lu Xianghui stood up, cupped his hands, and took his leave: "Uncle-Master, I have some more deliveries to make, so I won’t disturb your cultivation any longer."

He has always been a person with high self-awareness; Uncle-Master Liyao treating him well from the beginning was a blessing for him. But he knew very well that he absolutely should not and could not harbor any inappropriate thoughts.

What he could do was to remain conscientious, adhere to his principles, and do what he could.

"Wait~" Wang Liyao stopped him, earnestly asking, "Senior Brother Lu, would you be willing to be my follower?"

"Follower!?" Lu Xianghui was taken aback, showing an incredulous expression.
