Maybe in the future this cat will even have to protect it, so I’ll forgive you, Long Tao.”
“Of course!” Long Tao answered without hesitation, “Lord Frost Charcoal, you will forever be the most special cat in my heart! This dog is only your substitute.”
“Substitute?” Frost Charcoal repeated the word, then suddenly thought of something, “You mean……like a stand-in?”
Upon hearing this, Zhu Huaisu behind it suddenly trembled. Before she could speak to stop it, Frost Charcoal had already continued on its own, its tone even carrying a bit of excitement at sharing an amusing story.
“Huaisu has been reading this type of storybook novel lately. Something about an old lover traveling far away, so the male protagonist finds a woman who looks similar to be a ‘stand-in’, then when the real one comes back, the three of them become hopelessly entangled again and cry all the time……she’s completely addicted and has devoured several books in a row! Recently she’s even been secretly writing her own……mmph mmph mmph!”
“W-what nonsense are you talking about?!” Her Highness the Princess’s cheeks instantly flushed bright red. She rushed forward in a single stride, scooped up the loose-lipped Frost Charcoal into her arms, and tightly covered its mouth,
“When did I ever read……read several books?! I-I only casually flipped through two or three……just looked at them for fun! H-how was I addicted?! And I definitely didn’t write anything!”
As she flusteredly defended herself, she unconsciously retreated two steps while holding the cat, her gaze warily sweeping over Long Tao. Originally, she hadn’t paid much attention to it, but now……she was genuinely a little afraid. It seemed her precious Spirit Pet really might be abducted by this man.
Seeing that the pet matter was more or less temporarily resolved, Long Tao finally stood up again and solemnly saluted the three female cultivators.
“Greetings, True Person Xie, Senior Sister Wu, Senior Sister Zhu.”
At this moment, all three women instinctively regarded Long Tao with some wariness and simultaneously took half a step backward. Fourth Senior Sister Wu Xiange in particular hurriedly pulled back the little green snake that had curiously poked half its body out from her sleeve just now, evidently afraid her snake might also be sweet-talked into stupidity.
“Why are you in a place like this?”
Xie Yunmiao had only met Long Tao that one time before, and since she had also only just returned to the sect, she was unaware of Long Tao’s status. She merely took him for an ordinary Qi Refining disciple with a glib tongue who tricked Junior Brothers and cats.
“Uh, I’m a member of the Heavenly Pivot Pavilion. I’m supposed to be here.”
“What?! You’re from the Heavenly Pivot Pavilion?” Xie Yunmiao and Wu Xiange exclaimed in unison, disbelief covering their faces as their gazes simultaneously turned toward Zhu Huaisu beside them, hoping she could give them a denial.
Yet their Junior Sister, who was holding the cat, merely nodded, silently confirming it.
“How could this be!” Xie Yunmiao could hardly believe it, “You’re actually really from the Heavenly Pivot Pavilion? Senior Sister Shi……how exactly does Senior Sister Shi choose people? This is the critical place that manages all the major and minor affairs of the sect. How can someone like……like……”
She badly wanted to say a few harsh words, but ultimately remembered that they were near the Sect Main Hall and forcibly restrained herself, only letting out a muffled snort through her nose.
Just then, the door at the end of the corridor opened. Perhaps disturbed by the voices outside, Shi Manyu finally walked out.
“Senior Sister Shi.”
“True Person Shi.”
The group hurriedly saluted again. Shi Manyu showed no displeasure. Instead, she looked over the somewhat strange scene before her with considerable interest.
“Long Tao,” her gaze first landed on Long Tao, “I thought you would rest for a few more days. I didn’t expect you to be this diligent and come today?”
“No……I just……wanted to come back first and see the Senior Brothers and Senior Sisters of the Heavenly Pivot Pavilion. I’m still going to rest for a few days.”
Shi Manyu then glanced at the little wolf cub on the floor and said with a smile,
“You can raise a pet if you want, but clean up its defecation and urination yourself. Don’t dirty the rooms or corridors.”
“Yes, this disciple understands.”
At the side, Xie Yunmiao finally couldn’t hold back and asked,
“Senior Sister! Why did you recruit someone at the Qi Refining Stage into the Heavenly Pivot Pavilion?”
“This……because Long Tao’s working ability is outstanding. Naturally, I wanted him.”
“But……he’s an Outer Sect Disciple without any proper master-disciple lineage. Letting him come into contact with all sorts of Sect Secrets still doesn’t seem very appropriate.”
“That’s right.” Shi Manyu said calmly, “So I’ve already accepted him as a Registered Disciple. Once his cultivation advances a little further, I plan to formally take him into my lineage as a Personally Transmitted Disciple.”
The moment these words came out, all three women were stunned.
Who was Shi Manyu? She was the role model admired by countless female cultivators in the sect. Efficient and decisive in handling affairs, with a temperament steady as a mountain, both her cultivation and ability ranked among the very top, and she was even the universally acknowledged “Vice Sect Master”. Before others, she had always maintained an image of calm wisdom and rarely made errors in judgment. Yet now she actually……actually intended to accept this glib-tongued fellow as a Personally Transmitted Disciple?
Xie Yunmiao felt as though her sky was collapsing.
“However, that matter is still far off, so there’s no need to discuss it for now.” Shi Manyu changed the subject at an appropriate moment and looked toward the three of them, “Why did you come here?”
Seeing that Second Senior Sister still looked as if her soul had flown beyond the heavens, while Fifth Junior Sister was red-faced and focused only on covering the cat’s mouth, Fourth Senior Sister Wu Xiange had no choice but to step forward helplessly and report in a gentle voice,
“It’s like this, True Person. Master has advanced to the Nascent Soul Stage, and the few of us sisters want to give her a gift. But ordinary items obviously won’t do. We heard that the Suhuang Heavenly Dynasty will hold a Royal Auction half a year from now, so we wanted to come and apply to you for a few entry quotas.”
Shi Manyu nodded upon hearing this. At the Nascent Soul celebration, the congratulatory gifts True Person Mingzhu had received had long since piled up like a mountain. Naturally, the gift these disciples wanted to give her now couldn’t be something ordinary. Only a rare treasure seldom seen in the world could properly express their intentions. The Suhuang Heavenly Dynasty’s auction was indeed the most suitable place to search for such a thing.
“Alright, True Person Mingzhu’s advancement to the Nascent Soul Stage is a major event for the sect, so it indeed cannot be treated carelessly. The Empress also gave our sect some quotas. I’ll make the decision directly and allocate four to you. How does that sound?”
“That’s enough. Many thanks, True Person.”
After obtaining the answer they wanted, the three Senior Sisters hurriedly left. However, before Xie Yunmiao departed, she still couldn’t help looking back at Long Tao. This man was even more dangerous than she had previously thought. He actually even had Senior Sister Shi as his backer.
Long Tao, who remained where he was, now had faint waves stirring in his heart.
Auction? They had actually mentioned an auction! And from the sound of it……it didn’t seem to be as simple as what he had originally imagined?
“What is it, Long Tao?” Shi Manyu keenly noticed the subtle change in his expression, “Are you……interested in that auction too?”
“Y-yes.” Long Tao composed himself, “This disciple feels……I should also go to such an occasion and broaden my horizons.”
“Hehe, that is indeed a good idea, but for you……isn’t it a little early?”
“This……what do you mean by that?”
“That auction of the Suhuang Heavenly Dynasty is being held in the name of the Mute Phoenix Empress, and every standard involved is set at the highest level.” Shi Manyu explained unhurriedly, “The threshold for admission alone isn’t low. First, you need an invitation quota; second, you must pass an asset verification.”
“That troublesome?!”
“Yes, you heard just now that our sect has some quotas, but naturally, priority has to be given to the True Persons and Personally Transmitted Disciples.” Her gaze swept over Long Tao with a hint of good-natured teasing,
“And as for the asset requirement……the Spirit Stone assets of attendees need to be at least……I think sixty thousand high-grade Spirit Stones? This……might be somewhat difficult for you too.”
