Xiaosuisui gazed into Liao Kong's eyes, her smile so wide it seemed all teeth and no eyes.
"It's up to Heaven's Will!"
Her voice was crisp, and her face bore a sweet smile. She was like a cheerful little kitten.
Liao Kong repeated, "Heaven's Will?"
Xiaosuisui nodded and then drained the teacup she was holding. Her action left everyone watching in stunned silence.
"She... why did she drink the tea that was meant for Master Liao Kong?"
"This was the ceremonial tea for initiating a master-disciple relationship. By drinking it herself, she's clearly disrespecting her master and abandoning tradition!"
Whispers started to spread among the crowd.
A rare flicker of irritation crossed Liao Kong's face, but he quickly regained his composure and glanced at the Abbot.
The Abbot was quick to smooth things over. "Little Martial Aunt must have been thirsty from talking so much."
