"Elder, you're being too stingy. Are you really that afraid of giving gifts?"
Old Man Zi Zhu explained, "It's not that I'm afraid of giving gifts, but that I must leave tomorrow to return to the Flame Sect! You've fulfilled his last wish, so you must at least register this little junior sister's name in the sect. When you truly return to the sect one day, at least some people will know of her."
"Then I'll trouble the elder with this matter; I won't be going back!"
Chu Lanchian responded immediately, hardly able to hide his triumph.
Old Man Zi Zhu was well aware of this little Chu Lan's intentions. He simply wanted an excuse to avoid returning to the sect, too lazy to go back to Vermilion Bird Valley.
After exchanging a few pleasantries, Ji Ruyan and the others stayed a bit longer, then finally left.
