Chapter 507: Dong Ais outburst (1/2)
Dong Ai puffed out her chest when she heard this while her gaze was fully focused on Liu Mei, almost as if she was studying this new 'junior sister' of hers.
As for Liu Mei, she also stared at this new 'senior sister' of hers for a few moments with her usual apathetic gaze, before she turned her attention back to Elder Xuan who was standing in front of her barely a moment later.
Even though Dong Ai had a look in her eyes that was saying 'I am superior to you in every way and you have nothing else but looks to show off in front of me', Liu Mei didn't care about this challenging look in her newly acquired senior sister's face at all.
Elder Xuan's lips curved up into a smile when she saw this scene, but she didn't seem to be willing to solve a quarrel between her 2 newest personal disciples, as she turned around and sat towards the main seat of the hall.
With a gentle look on her face, she looked at Liu Mei before she said with that same, warm smile on her face
''Little Mei, the 'master and disciple ceremony' is very simple. All you have to do is pour a cup of tea for your master and offer it sincerely. As long as your master accepts the cup and drinks the tea, you will formally be accepted as a personal disciple.''
Nodding her head, Liu Mei turned her eyes towards Shun Long for a moment, before she stepped forward, towards the already prepared cup of tea on the simple-looking, wooden table by Xuan Jiao's side.
Holding the cup with both hands Liu Mei then carried it towards Xuan Jiao's seat, before she kneeled down on both knees and offered it sincerely to her master.
Elder Xuan didn't conceal her expression of joy and approval that she had on her face, as she elegantly received the cup with both hands and drained it in one gulp.
Her limpid black eyes then looked at Liu Mei who was by her side before she said smilingly
''Little Mei, stand up! Hehe, this elder sister is very proud to get a disciple like you.''
When Elder Xuan said this, Shun Long noticed the yellow-robed Dong Ai's expression turn angry for a moment while a glint appeared in her eyes that she managed to quickly conceal, while even Wei Yaling's lips twitched slightly for a second.
With her usual ice-cold expression that had softened ever-so-slightly as she looked at her master, Liu Mei stood up and bowed to Elder Xuan as the final part of the 'master and disciple ceremony'.
''Hehe, since I have accepted a new disciple, it's only fair that I will give you a small welcoming gift as well.''
Using both of her hands, Elder Xuan then carefully removed a small pendant that she was wearing on her neck, and handed it to Liu Mei under Dong Ai's and Wei Yaling's stunned eyes.
''Master!''
''Sigh, Junior sister is really lucky to be favored by master like this!''
