"O-one... one thousand!"
Zhao Ling'er was so excited she could barely get her words out. "I put in four hundred, and Junior Brother and Junior Sister each put in three hundred!"
"The three of us pooled one thousand!"
"Mm!" Yu Ning gazed at the Black Bead in her hand, reluctant to part with it. "This should be a treasure that aids cultivation of the soul. All three of you are still at the Qi Refining Stage, so it would be of little use to you!"
"How about this? Give me the bead, and I'll buy it from you for two thousand spirit stones!"
"All right?"
Yu Ning looked at the three of them.
Troubled expressions immediately appeared on their faces.
This was a treasure!
We don't even know what kind of treasure it is, and you're already taking it away. Isn't this just plundering your disciples' belongings under another guise?
But she was their master, so none of them dared refuse.
Still, they could not resign themselves to it, and all remained silent.
Yu Ning smiled. "I know what you're thinking. Your master isn't coveting your treasure. I simply feel that it would serve no purpose in your hands!"
"As it happens, your Grand Ancestor's three-hundredth birthday is almost here. I've searched high and low, but haven't found a suitable treasure!"
"What I mean is, you can pass this item to me, and I'll present it to the Grand Ancestor as a birthday gift!"
"I'm certainly not coveting it for myself!"
"What do you say?"
Yu Ning looked at the three of them.
"All right!" Zhao Ling'er said. "I'll do as you say, Master!"
With Zhao Ling'er agreeing, the other two naturally did not dare object.
"I'll do as you say, Master!"
"So will I!"
"Good, good, good!" Yu Ning
