Chapter 508: Elder Xuans real reason (1/2)

''Ai, you dare to question my decision? Do you actually believe that I treated you unfairly 2 months ago when I handed you a complete Saint middle-grade cultivation technique as a welcoming gift?''

''Master... that is not what I meant! But-''

''Not what you meant? What you meant was clearly that the value of Mei's gift was above yours isn't it?''

Dong Ai immediately fell silent when she heard this as she nodded her head with an unresigned look in her eyes. Indeed, in her eyes, the value of a complete Saint middle-grade cultivation technique was nowhere near close to the value of the pendant that Liu Mei just received from their master.

However Elder Xuan's eyes only turned colder when she saw her disciple's reaction before she continued

''Ai, you complained about neither you nor any of your senior sisters aside from your eldest senior sister have ever received such a welcoming gift from me, but you didn't even stop to think what kind of background do you and Yaling really come from compared to Mei!

Both you and Yaling come from influential families and are even the direct descendants of your own family line! You have been showered with the best resources ever since your birth and you still dare to complain that my treatment towards you wasn't equal in value?!

In that case, let me ask you, Ai! What did you do with the Saint middle-grade cultivation technique that I gave you? Did you only keep it for yourself or did you share it with your family instead?''

Dong Ai's face immediately paled when she heard this, as she lowered her head and said

''I... I shared it. But master... even if I shared it, it is still not as valuable as master's pend-''

''Enough! Of course I knew that you would share it with your family and that in turn, your family would reward you for it. After all, practically every single influential family that is adjacent to our Holy sect sends its descendants and disciples here, in hopes that they will become stronger.

Did you think that I didn't know how valuable a Saint middle-grade cultivation technique is to a family? Even if your family has 10 Saint low-grade cultivation techniques, I know that you at most will have 1 or 2 that have reached the middle grade!

And yet I still gave you the technique without forbidding you from sharing it with your family since that was my welcoming gift to you!

How many spirit stones, protective artifacts and rare pills did your grandfather give you to reward you for bringing home a Saint middle-grade cultivation technique? Even if it wasn't at the value of Mei's pendant, it's still not too far off either!''

Seeing the regretful look that slowly appeared on Dong Ai's face, Elder Xuan's cold expression slowly softened as she shook her head and said

''Questioning your master is not something that is taken lightly! Even more so when you feel jealousy for your junior sister!''
