Cheng Xiao let out a deep breath. Looking at the sincere Chrysanthemum Douluo, he smiled and said, "Senior, if I become your disciple, do I get a welcome gift?"
"A welcome gift?" Chrysanthemum Douluo Yue Guan sucked in a sharp breath and sighed. "Times really have changed. You become my disciple, and I still have to give you a welcome gift? You're quite the clever brat."
Though he teased him verbally, Chrysanthemum Douluo Yue Guan still tapped the ring on his hand. With a flash of light, an identical golden ring appeared in his palm.
"Brat, this ring is a Space Storage Soul Tool. With it, you'll be able to take out any item anytime, anywhere." Chrysanthemum Douluo Yue Guan placed the ring in Cheng Xiao's hand and said proudly, "Your teacher had this Soul Tool specially made. The space inside is enormous; it can even store living creatures. Just don't forget to let them out."
Cheng Xiao froze. "I haven't even called you Teacher yet. Why are you already referring to yourself as one?"
"This old man doesn't care about that. If you've accepted my welcome gift, then you're my disciple." Chrysanthemum Douluo Yue Guan waved a hand, then glanced at the silent Qian Renxue and said calmly, "If you run into any trouble in the future, report my name first thing. As long as you don't go around stirring up trouble, your teacher will be your strongest support."
"Alright, brat, your teacher is leaving now. If you encounter something you can't handle in the future, come find me at Spirit Hall. I'm off!"
With that, Chrysanthemum Douluo nodded slightly toward Qian Renxue beside Cheng Xiao. Then he turned around, and amid flowing golden light, he stepped directly onto the massive Singular Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum and departed.
