After all, the act still needed to be convincing.
Seeing Jiang Chen agree, the other seven people had no words for their suffering. At first, they had held onto a sliver of hope, thinking Jiang Chen was just joking, but they never expected it to be true.
However, how could they know that they had already fallen into Jiang Chen's trap!
"This, Senior Brother, it's the same for me. Could I give you the meeting gift later, Senior Brother?"
Where there was one, there was a second. Zhao Gongming, the only male remaining, also spoke up awkwardly.
"You know the way!"
Jiang Chen found it amusing internally and couldn't help but glance at him more. Only when he saw the shame and blush on Zhao Gongming's face did he nod in agreement.
Immediately after, he turned his gaze to the remaining six junior sisters.
Why had he done this earlier? It was all for these six talkative junior sisters! If he didn't establish the authority of the senior disciple, and they thought he was easy to bully, wouldn't he be pestered to death?
As Jiang Chen's gaze fell upon them, the six junior sisters clearly felt awkward. Being unable to speak their minds wasn't their style. They couldn't refuse, nor could they agree.
"Senior Brother~"
"We've only just taken human form. We have nothing except ourselves. How about we skip the meeting gift?"
Among Sanxiao, Bi Xiao was the most lively. Seeing that it was difficult to refuse, her beautiful eyes flickered, and she ran to Jiang Chen's side. She clasped his arm between her hands, swinging it back and forth as she spoke coquettishly.
Her tone was as sweet as could be.
"Senior Brother, please pity us!"
"Yes, yes! We're so miserable. We only have this one piece of clothing. How about we give it to you?"
Sanxiao were of one mind. Seeing Bi Xiao act like this, Yun Xiao and Qiong Xiao's beautiful eyes lit up. They also came to Jiang Chen's side and did the same as Bi Xiao.
The maiden Qiong Xiao, while hugging Jiang Chen's arm with Bi Xiao, looked at Jiang Chen with pitiful eyes.
The mature Yun Xiao was no less, occupying Jiang Chen's entire arm. At the same time, she claimed that her only possession was this piece of clothing, and her words even carried an unspoken temptation.
"Senior Brother!"
With Sanxiao acting like this, Jin Ling, Gui Ling, and Wudang, who were standing nearby, also couldn't stand idly by and ran to Jiang Chen's side.
Instantly, Jiang Chen was surrounded by his six junior sisters.
A symphony of feminine voices, a dazzling array of sights, and all sorts of sweet words filled his ears, accompanied by a fragrant scent.
At this moment, Jiang Chen was also stunned. He hadn't expected these six junior sisters to be such drama queens.
However, it had to be said that divine beings nurtured by heaven and earth were indeed different. Each of them was extraordinarily beautiful. Especially the Sanxiao sisters, with their varied forms, seemed to embody three stages of a woman's life with every gesture. For a moment, even Jiang Chen was dazed.
Fortunately, Jiang Chen's state of mind was still decent, and he quickly snapped back to reality.
As if! What was so fun about women compared to cultivation? How could a mere beauty trap shake his Dao heart?
"Heh heh."
No matter how they pleaded pitifully or tempted him, Jiang Chen remained unmoved.
Crack, crack!
Hearing Jiang Chen's cold laugh, the six women immediately gritted their teeth in anger. They understood that their senior brother was completely unyielding. If this were in later generations, they would definitely know what kind of person their senior brother was – a true steel-straight man!
"Fine, we'll give it too!"
Suddenly, Sanxiao let go of Jiang Chen's arm and looked at him, gritting their teeth.
There was no other way. Jiang Chen was unyielding, and even their acting cute didn't work. What else could they do but agree?
More importantly, the three of them had made their move together, yet he was still like this. Sanxiao felt incredibly annoyed.
Jin Ling, Gui Ling, and Wudang, standing beside them, could only reluctantly agree.
In an instant, the eight of them no longer had the lively and noisy demeanor they had before. They were all listless, like wilted eggplants.
Seeing them like this, Jiang Chen suppressed a laugh internally and muttered softly, "I was just saying it originally. I didn't expect these junior brothers and sisters to actually agree. They must be the silliest junior brothers and sisters in history. What kind of disciples did Master accept..."
Although Jiang Chen's voice was quiet, everyone present was at the Grand Unity Profound Immortal realm. Not to mention, they were all standing right beside Jiang Chen, so they naturally heard every single word.
It was precisely upon hearing this that the eight of them were stunned once more!
He was just saying it?
The silliest junior brothers and sisters in history?!
Pfft!
Upon hearing this, the eight of them almost spat out blood. Sanxiao, in particular, were so angry their faces turned green!
Their earnest pleas were fruitless, and even when the three sisters acted together, the result was the same. Just as they resigned themselves to fate, they heard Jiang Chen say it was all a joke?
In other words, after joining a Saint's sect, they had foolishly incurred a meeting gift debt to their senior brother?
And not only that, but they were also later criticized by their senior brother as the silliest in history!
Damn it!!
At this moment, everyone's mood was like riding a roller coaster, going up and down!
"Alright, the meeting gift is all fake. I was just teasing you!"
With that, Jiang Chen finally couldn't hold back, a slight curve appearing at the corner of his lips as he smiled faintly.
He had to admit, his junior brothers and sisters were truly naive, so easily fooled.
However, while Jiang Chen could afford to smile, Duobao and the others didn't even dare to, their faces freezing once more.
Was he playing with us?
What did that mean?
Having been teased by Jiang Chen several times, everyone now felt they couldn't believe their senior brother's words, and their impression of Jiang Chen had become even more profound.
But this time seemed different. Seeing Jiang Chen's joyful and serious expression, Bi Xiao wrinkled her delicate nose and asked with a hint of disbelief, "Senior Brother, were you just teasing us earlier? Does that mean we don't need to give you a meeting gift either?"
Upon hearing this, the other seven also looked towards Jiang Chen, their eyes filled with a sliver of hope.
"Naturally. As your Senior Brother, would I possibly trick you? Did you really want to give me a meeting gift?"
Seeing that they still didn't believe him, Jiang Chen frowned and glanced at them.
Once the killing move was revealed, how could they dare to question him again? The Sanxiao shook their heads like pounding garlic, Bi Xiao's bitter melon face being the most pronounced.
In short, everyone's mood was incredibly complex at that moment.
It's impossible. The personality of our Senior Brother is completely unfathomable!
"Alright, I won't tease you anymore. Tell me about Master."
He had played enough and scared them sufficiently. Jiang Chen smiled faintly, waved his hand, and stopped toying with them.
Whoosh!
The topic shifted to Tongtian, and everyone finally let out a long sigh of relief. Duobao, seemingly afraid Jiang Chen would speak again, quickly replied, "Replying to Senior Brother, after Master took us as disciples, besides telling us to wait here for you, he also said he would preach on Golden Ao Island in a year. All living beings are welcome to come here, and at that time, they can also join our Intercepting Sect."
Master is going to preach!
Jiang Chen was somewhat surprised, yet it was also within reason.
After all, the dojo of the Intercepting Sect was Golden Ao Island. Now that Golden Ao Island had been found, the great prosperity of the Intercepting Sect should be imminent.
It seems I'll have more junior brothers and sisters in the future. I wonder if any of them will possess items that could capture my interest.
Jiang Chen mused inwardly, but then he seemed to recall something and suddenly looked at the eight people before him.
Come to think of it, I was so busy teasing these junior brothers and sisters that I forgot to check what they have on them!
"Check the panels of these eight people!"
With that thought, Jiang Chen immediately opened their panels.
Swish!
[Name: Duobao] [Cultivation: Late Grand Unity Profound Immortal] [Cultivation Technique: Shangqing Dao Method] [Physique: Intermediate Innate Godly Being] [Talent: Top-tier Artifact Refining Talent] [Divine Abilities: None] [Spiritual Treasures: None]
[Name: Yun Xiao]
Soon, the attributes of Duobao and the others clearly appeared before Jiang Chen. However, most of them were panels with "three none."
This was also normal. These eight direct disciples of Tongtian were not like they would be in later generations; they had only just been enlightened by Tongtian. The only thing left on them that was somewhat presentable was their cultivation.
