"Teacher, you didn't mention me to Grandmaster, did you?"
As Yun Yun stepped out of the great hall, Nalan Yanran jumped out from the shadows, eyes darting toward the hall as she asked cautiously.
Yun Yun smiled faintly. "You are this teacher's precious disciple; how could I possibly betray you?"
"Teacher, you are truly too good to your disciple."
Nalan Yanran wore a look of deep gratitude, though she scoffed inwardly, wondering who it was that had just extorted five tubs of instant noodles from her.
To think she could shamelessly call her a precious disciple now.
Nalan Yanran felt a surge of indignation. Why was her teacher always so magnanimous toward others, yet so black-hearted toward her?
Thinking of those five extorted tubs of instant noodles, Nalan Yanran felt a pang of heartache.
Those were the ten tubs she had managed to beg from Boss Ye only after setting aside the dignity of a noble young lady of the Nalan family.
Now, she was down to only five.
Nalan Yanran was naturally displeased.
"Alright, stop sulking."
"I have some good news to tell you."
Yun Yun smiled and gave Nalan Yanran a gentle head pat, her tone soft.
Yun Yun understood her disciple's personality thoroughly; she knew exactly what was going through the girl's mind.
"What do you mean, Teacher? How could your disciple be angry?"
"Teacher, I am in a wonderful mood right now."
Nalan Yanran wore a sweet, obedient smile, though she remained unconvinced, and couldn't help but ask, "Teacher, what is the good news?"
"Yanran, after tomorrow, Boss Ye will be leaving the Misty Cloud Sect," Yun Yun said.
Upon hearing this, the smile on Nalan Yanran's face instantly collapsed, and she complained, "What kind of good news is that?"
"Then do you still want to continue opening jars, eating instant noodles, and drinking cola in the future?" Yun Yun asked with a smile.
"Teacher, could it be that you have a way?" Seeing the smile on Yun Yun's face, Nalan Yanran instantly perked up and asked impatiently.
Yun Yun nodded slightly, smiling without a word.
"My good teacher, stop keeping me in suspense and tell your disciple quickly!"
Nalan Yanran was itching with curiosity and began to butter up Yun Yun.
"I'll massage your shoulders, Teacher."
Yun Yun nodded with satisfaction; it was rare for this girl to be so well-behaved. Then, Yun Yun parted her red lips: "One tub of instant noodles, and I'll tell you."
Hearing this, the obedient smile on Nalan Yanran's face stiffened slightly: "Teacher, isn't that a bit excessive? Didn't I already give you five tubs just now?"
"Oh, then never mind."
Yun Yun said it lightly and prepared to leave.
"Wait!"
Nalan Yanran called out just in time, gritted her teeth, took a tub of instant noodles from her storage ring, and handed it to Yun Yun with a pained expression. Then, the obedient smile returned to her face as she said sweetly, "Teacher, this is for you."
"Good girl, truly my precious disciple." Yun Yun didn't stand on ceremony at all and took the noodles directly from Nalan Yanran's hand.
"Teacher, Boss Ye said that you shouldn't eat too many instant noodles in one day, or you'll get little pimples. You must be careful," Nalan Yanran whispered, her tone sounding very concerned, though she was fuming inside.
However, thinking that Yun Yun held the key to contacting Boss Ye in the future, Nalan Yanran had no choice but to swallow her pride.
She knew the difference between being full for one meal and being full for every meal.
"Fine, since you're being so well-behaved, I'll tell you."
Yun Yun knew when to stop, and proceeded to reveal the matter of the Level 1 VIP Card to Nalan Yanran.
Since she had already decided to let this girl take charge of a Level 1 VIP Card, Yanran would have to know about it sooner or later. Telling her a day early and extorting a tub of noodles in the process—why not?
"A VIP card?"
"Boss Ye actually has something like this?"
After hearing what Yun Yun had to say, Nalan Yanran's eyes lit up.
"Teacher, how can one obtain this VIP card?"
Nalan Yanran was clever and immediately grasped the key issue; in her view, such a card couldn't possibly be obtained easily.
"It's very simple. As long as you spend five hundred thousand gold coins at Boss Ye's place, you can get a Level 1 VIP Card," Yun Yun said nonchalantly, while also explaining the privileges of the card.
"Five hundred thousand gold coins!"
"Doesn't that mean I have to buy five jars just to get one Level 1 VIP Card?"
Hearing this, Nalan Yanran's expression dimmed instantly.
Yun Yun nodded faintly: "That is correct."
Nalan Yanran was silent for a moment, then said in a dejected tone: "Teacher, if you open any good items in the future that you don't need, can you bestow them upon your disciple? And... if you get any instant noodles or cola from Boss Ye, could you share some with me..."
Hearing the request to obtain a Level 1 VIP Card, Nalan Yanran immediately deflated.
She had currently only spent two hundred thousand gold coins at Boss Ye's place, and she needed to open three more jars to meet the requirement.
It was impossible for three of the five jars tomorrow to be allocated for her to open.
Therefore, she couldn't possibly spend five hundred thousand gold coins at Boss Ye's place.
Nalan Yanran even prepared for the worst-case scenario, which was that her own jar would be directly taken away, allowing her master's master to open it, thus allowing him to complete his five jars.
Thinking of this, Nalan Yanran couldn't help but look dejected.
My jar, my instant noodles, my cola...
Farewell!
Nalan Yanran was heartbroken.
Now, she could only place her hopes on her teacher sharing some good things with her in the future.
Unexpectedly, after hearing her words, Yun Yun shook her head slightly and directly refused, "No, why should I share with you?"
Upon hearing this, Nalan Yanran became anxious, "Teacher, you can't be so selfish."
"Look, didn't I share six buckets of instant noodles with you today, and I only kept four for myself?"
"Good things should be shared, and they taste better when shared."
"At worst, your disciple will offer you another bucket of instant noodles."
As Nalan Yanran spoke, seeing that Yun Yun remained unmoved, she gritted her teeth and took out another bucket of instant noodles from her storage ring, handing it to Yun Yun.
A hint of a smile flashed in Yun Yun's eyes, and she readily took the instant noodles from Nalan Yanran's hand.
"Alright, seeing how filial you are, I, your teacher, will be merciful and give you a VIP card." After receiving enough benefits, Yun Yun stopped teasing her disciple and spoke directly.
"Just one... isn't that a bit little... Wait, Teacher, what did you just say?"
Nalan Yanran subconsciously wanted to bargain, but then she suddenly realized what she had heard and asked with wide eyes, incredulously, "Teacher, you're going to give me a VIP card?"
