Resting with Eyes Closed

So he stood under a tree to the side and closed his eyes to rest.

Once Qin Yingyue's cave abode was completely completed, Su Zhan followed everyone inside. He immediately smiled upon seeing it. While not luxurious in every way, it was exquisitely crafted, showing that great care had been put into it. Qin Yingyue was both grateful and satisfied.

They immediately presented gifts, which were indeed very valuable. The Fourth Senior Sister, who had previously spoken so casually, was now declining them, feeling embarrassed to accept them.

Qin Yingyue naturally insisted.

"If you senior Senior Disciple Brother and sisters don't consider me one of your own, then don't accept this. From now on, I'll know I shouldn't get close to you."

Good heavens, once these words were spoken, the Fourth Senior Sister and the others naturally could not refuse. They knew that Qin Yingyue was doing it on purpose, but they could only accept Qin Yingyue's kindness.

"This place is quite nice; they put a lot of effort into it."

The East Mountain Sect Master walked in, and everyone turned to look. Only Su Zhan was not surprised by the other party's appearance. He had already noticed him, but the others were not strong enough to notice. He did not intend to remind the others.

"Master."

Qin Yingyue was still a little reserved when she met the East Mountain Sect Master, since they weren't familiar with each other, but her eyes showed a lot of dependence. If the Sect Master didn't genuinely accept her, then her Senior Disciple Brother and sisters wouldn't have either. Now it seemed that they had definitely accepted her.

Having experienced what had happened before, Qin Yingyue was naturally satisfied with and dependent on the East Mountain Sect Master.

"Master, Guo Ling'er went too far before, and the Grand Elder was no better; he didn't even stop her."

Fourth Senior Sister said.

The other three senior Senior Disciple Brother also spoke up one after another.

"Guo Ling'er did go too far, but she apologized in the end."

"It's all thanks to Guard Su."

"That's right, otherwise, no matter what we say, I don't think even the Grand Elder could make Guo Ling'er bow down."

The East Mountain Sect Master nodded.

She already knew what had happened.

She didn't even have anything to do; she just made an excuse to leave.

We wanted to see what the Elder's attitudes were. Everyone else was fine, but the First Elder was the most outrageous. Although Guo Ling'er was arrogant and domineering, she was very afraid of the First Elder.

If the Grand Elder hadn't shown any unusual behavior, would Guo Ling'er have dared to embarrass Qin Yingyue in public so soon after she joined the East Mountain Sect?

Fortunately, her four disciples made her very happy. They knew how to protect their Junior Sister, which was a good thing. If they had turned a blind eye, she would have been very disappointed.

The guards that Pavilion Master Qin assigned to Qin Yingyue were also quite good.

I haven't been able to gauge their strength, but they must be quite good; they're just hiding it so no one can see it.

The most important thing isn't strength, but intelligence and courage. Moreover, it seems she doesn't rely entirely on the East Mountain Sect. If the people East Mountain Sect go too far, she believes they will definitely take Qin Yingyue away.

After all, Qin Yingyue didn't need to become an apprentice. The reason she joined Sect was for safety, wasn't it? If she was too ostracized, who could guarantee that the East Mountain Sect would really protect Qin Yingyue if she encountered danger? It would be better to leave, at least she would suffer less.

"Guard Su, you're quite good. You can stay in the Yingyue Pavilion as long as you're here. You can go anywhere except for the Forbidden Land. Just stay away when I'm instructing Yingyue on her cultivation. Otherwise, you can stay by Yingyue's side. I trust you, and you can trust me too."

"That's what the East Mountain Sect Master said."

Su Zhan was naturally very satisfied with this and also appreciated the other party's attitude and decisiveness.

"Then thank you very much, East Mountain Sect Master."

Su Zhan.

The East Mountain Sect Master waved his hand, then looked at Qin Yingyue.
