"Thank you, Saintess," Chu Chan said.
Chu Chan was quite surprised. Naturally, she wasn't about to refuse a treasure that had fallen into her lap, so she hastily and respectfully accepted it.
A smile touched Ling Zhuyun's lips as she nodded slightly. "I hope you will not tarnish its reputation in the future."
"I will not disappoint the trust you've placed in me, Saintess," Chu Chan said.
She did not linger after that and took her leave. Now that all the disciples of the Jasper Pool Sect knew she was with Jiang Lan, her status as a disciple of the sect seemed rather dispensable.
Ling Zhuyun didn't say much more.
From beginning to end, Chu Chan never once glanced at Chen Ning.
Not long after Chu Chan's departure, a female disciple came to report. "Saintess, there is a stranger outside, a man named Ye Ming. He claims to be a friend of yours and wishes to see you."
