Listen to Whoever You're Told to Listen To

Worship Hall.

In the antique-style room.

Bai Wanwan sat on Qian Renxue's lap, holding a plate of fried rice in her hand, shoveling rice into her mouth with her chopsticks.

"Eat slowly, no one's going to take it from you. Mind your manners."

Qian Renxue held Bai Wanwan's waist with one hand, while stroking her Ice Blue hair with the other.

"Image?"

Bai Wanwan stopped eating, her eyes blinking a few times. "Image is for outsiders, you're not an outsider, sister."

As soon as she finished speaking, Bai Wanwan continued to eat her rice.

Seeing Bai Wanwan's expression, Qian Renxue simply smiled and said nothing more.

Knock knock knock~

A knocking sound came from the door.

Qian Renxue and Bai Wanwan's gazes turned to the door almost simultaneously. Bai Wanwan then got off Qian Renxue's lap, while Qian Renxue got up to open the door.

Click.

The door opened, revealing the Second Worship Golden Crocodile and a tall, slender Young Woman of about fifteen or sixteen years old, dressed in a long red dress.

"Grandpa Golden Crocodile."

Qian Renxue stepped aside to let Golden Crocodile and the Young Woman enter the room.

"Teacher."

Bai Wanwan stood up and bowed gracefully to Golden Crocodile, showing no trace of the way she had been eating her rice earlier.

Well, you can be careless about your image in front of your older sister, but you still need to pay attention to your image in front of your Teacher; you can't be too casual about it.

"Young Master, Wanwan, let me introduce you. This is my granddaughter, Tian Yao. She just received her fourth Spirit Ring yesterday and is currently a level 42 Soul Ancestor."

As Golden Crocodile spoke, he reached out and patted Tian Yao on the shoulder.

"Greetings, Young Master."

Tian Yao first bowed slightly to Qian Renxue, then turned his gaze to Bai Wanwan, bowing in return, but with a thoughtful look in his eyes, and said, "Greetings, Young Madam."

Upon hearing this, Qian Renxue was slightly taken aback, but quickly recovered, and the corners of her mouth unconsciously turned up slightly.

Hmm~

Qian Renxue liked Tian Yao calling Bai Wanwan "Young Madam" very much; in her opinion, this title was perfect for Bai Wanwan.

And there are absolutely no problems.

She is the Young Master of the Spirit Hall, so Bai Wanwan is the Young Madam.

Upon hearing Tian Yao's address, Bai Wanwan almost lost her composure, and a blush crept onto her cheeks.

What kind of Young Madam this?

The way Tian Yao said that made it sound like Bai Wanwan was the one who was bullied. Although it might seem, or probably might be, that's still wrong of you to say it out loud.

"Cough, cough~"

"Tian Yao, I seem to be a few years older than you. You can call me Sister Bai or Sister Wanwan. The title 'Young Madam' is not quite appropriate."

Bai Wanwan coughed lightly and corrected Tian Yao's form of address.

I think this title is quite good.

Qian Renxue said something quietly.

Bai Wanwan secretly rolled her eyes at Qian Renxue, protesting silently with her eyes, but after thinking for a moment, she didn't say anything more.

"Forehead..."

Tian Yao scratched his head and looked at his grandfather.

The Young Master said this title is quite good.

The Young Madam said that this form of address was inappropriate; who should she listen to?

Noticing his granddaughter's gaze, Golden Crocodile decisively changed the subject. "Young Master, Wanwan, after Tian Yao consumed the Earth Dragon Golden Gourd, not only did his Soul Power increase, but his Martial Soul also underwent a transformation, and he now meets the standards for entering the Worship Hall."

"But at her age, she's not very useful staying in the Worship Hall, so next time you leave, could you take Tian Yao with you so she can also go and gain experience?"

"Although my granddaughter isn't very good at strategy, she has one great quality: she's obedient and sensible, so she would never cause you any trouble."

Golden Crocodile's tone was very serious.

Previously, Tian Yao's talent was slightly lower and did not meet the standards for entering the Worship Hall. Now, after consuming the Earth Dragon Golden Gourd, although he meets the standards for entering the Worship Hall, in Golden Crocodile's opinion, it would be better to let him go out with Qian Renxue and Bai Wanwan to gain experience and training rather than let him stay in the Worship Hall to cultivate.

After all, without experiencing the trials of life, what is nurtured will always remain merely flowers in a greenhouse.

Moreover, Golden Crocodile felt very at ease having Tian Yao with Qian Renxue and Bai Wanwan, at least he didn't have to worry about his granddaughter being sold off while he was still counting the money for her.

"That's no problem at all."

"Wanwan and I will be leaving Spirit City in a couple of days. Tian Yao can come with us then."

Qian Renxue smiled and readily agreed.

Although Golden Crocodile didn't say it, she could tell that Tian Yao would be one of her team members in the future.

"Good."

"Young Master, Wanwan, I'll take Tian Yao back first to prepare. When we leave, I'll have her come with you."

Golden Crocodile gave Tianyue a kind smile, patted Tian Yao on the shoulder, and led Tian Yao towards the room.

"Take care, Teacher."

Watching the departing Golden Crocodile, Bai Wanwan once again gave a dignified bow.

After Golden Crocodile and Tian Yao left the room, Bai Wanwan sat down again, picked up her chopsticks, and continued to shovel rice into her mouth.

"Tsk~"

"Is there enough for you, Young Madam? If not, I'll have someone prepare some more."

"Whatever the Young Madam wants to eat, I'll have someone get it for you."

Qian Renxue sat down next to Bai Wanwan, put her arm around Bai Wanwan's shoulder, and teased her.

Upon hearing this, Bai Wanwan slowly raised her eyes, secretly glanced at Qian Renxue's wrist, and then bit down on it.

Although Bai Wanwan bit Qian Renxue's wrist, she didn't use much force, so Qian Renxue still felt pain.

"It doesn't even have the strength to bite?"

"Or are you just reluctant to bite me too hard, Wanwan?"

Seeing Bai Wanwan's actions, Qian Renxue simply smiled and didn't pay any attention.

"Hmph~"

Bai Wanwan gave a soft hum, released her mouth, and continued eating without saying another word.

On the other side.

On the flat path, Golden Crocodile and Tian Yao walked side by side.

"Tian Yao, when you're out there training, if the Young Master is by your side, listen to Young Master; if Wanwan is by your side, listen to Wanwan. If they're both by your side, whoever makes the decision, listen to them."

As the Golden Crocodile walked forward, it gave him instructions.

"I understand, Grandpa."

Tian Yao nodded obediently.

"By the way, Grandpa, who is stronger, the Young Master or the Young Madam?"

Tian Yao looked at his grandfather with curiosity in his eyes.

"Between Wanwan and the Young Master, Wanwan is slightly stronger in terms of pure strength, but their previous matches have mostly ended in draws."

The Golden Crocodile spoke softly.

Tian Yao, seemingly understanding but not quite.
