Situ Mingyue's brows were tightly furrowed. On one hand, she was happy that Zhang Yi and the others had been stirred into cultivating diligently; on the other, Zhu You's cultivation left her troubled.
She came to Zhu You's residence and looked at him writing away with flying strokes. "Originally, I should only have given you more resources after you reached Foundation Establishment. That is also the sect's usual practice. An exception cannot be made for you alone.
"However, you are still Eldest Senior Brother's disciple.
"How about this? I'll give you some resources separately, for you to keep as a reserve.
"These things are from me, your martial aunt. They aren't from the sect, so this won't violate the sect's rules."
After saying that, she gave Zhu You ten thousand Spirit Stones, along with some pills for Foundation Establishment.
"Thank you, Martial Aunt." Zhu You set down his pen, rose to bow in thanks, then said with a smile, "Martial Aunt, I'm just making a living now. I don't need much money. What you've given me is far too much, and I have no use for it. You should take it back!"
"Keep it!" Situ Mingyue said, leaving him no room to argue before turning and walking away.
She had given him so much money. This kid ought to go get his work printed instead of storytelling now, right?
But...
After putting away all the Spirit Stones and pills, Zhu You continued writing furiously.
Since his Martial Aunt insisted on giving them to him, he could hardly refuse.
But he would still tell stories as he pleased.
The next day, after staying up until the middle of the night and writing ten more installments, Zhu You took his manuscripts and headed for Azure Cloud City again.
