"Stone of Icy Soul?"
Patriarch Gu thought about it and asked Lu Li with confusion, "I think the stone is used to improve Inhibition Formations, right?
Forging artifacts is not important and I don't have it.
If you want it, take my token to the Division of Internal Affairs and tell them that I need it. "
Patriarch Gu gave Lu Li a white jade token with the word "Gu" engraved on it. Lu Li bowed to Patriarch Gu gratefully.
Patriarch Gu did not ask for the reason. Lu Li was basically given whatever he wanted. Patriarch Gu had nothing to say.
Patriarch Gu left. Qian Huanhan had just come back from the Hall of Materials. He was tired after a while of forging artifacts. He wanted to go back and rest.
"Go and have some rest. I will go to the Division of Internal Affairs to get something."
Lu Li waved his hand. Qian Huanhan's interest was piqued. He grinned and said, "Let's go. I will go with you. What if you are bullied?"
"Let's go then ~"
Lu Li shrugged. Qian Huanhan told Lu Li to wait. He quickly went back and changed into a fancy white robe.
On the left chest area of the robe was a star symbol. This was a robe that only core disciples could wear.
Qian Huanhan walked in front of Lu Li in an ostentatious manner, as if he was a nouveau riche.
He did not take the small paths but swaggered to the widest street.
Along the way, they would run into some average disciples. Those disciples would stand on the side and bow to Qian Huanhan.
This was the sect's rule. Honorary disciples had to bow to official disciples, official disciples had to bow to outer disciples, and outer disciples had to bow to core disciples.
Lu Li was a formal disciple now. He was speechless along the way. Qian Huanhan brought him along the street and they ran into some external disciples.
Those external disciples bowed to Qian Huanhan but Lu Li had to bow to other external disciples …
Finally, they arrived at the Division of Internal Affairs. Qian Huanhan was still standing outside. When Liu Yun came out and bowed to him, Qian Huanhan nodded with pride.
Liu Yun was an external disciple and his status was not as high as Qian Huanhan's.
"Pah ~"
Lu Li secretly slapped the back of Qian Huanhan's head and said coldly, "Brother Liu Yun has been nice to us. Be careful. You will get yourself killed if you act tough."
Qian Huanhan was frightened. Looking at Lu Li, he said, "Brother Li, don't hit me outside. Save me some face. After all, I am a core disciple."
"Humph ~"
Lu Li didn't give Qian Huanhan any face. He snorted and said, "If you dare to disrespect Brother Liu Yun, I will fall out with you."
Qian Huanhan was completely terrified. He put on a flattering smile and said, "I don't dare, I don't dare. Brother Li, I was wrong. I will change, okay?"
Liu Yun was walking in the front. Even though Lu Li and Qian Huanhan's voices were low, Liu Yun heard them.
He turned around and smiled, not minding it at all.
Lu Li and Qian Huanhan greeted the patriarch of Internal Affairs. Liu Yun showed them to a side chamber.
Lu Li took out Patriarch Gu's token and then gave a list to Liu Yun and said, "Brother Liu Yun, this is the list of Mystical Materials that Patriarch Gu asked me to ask the Internal Affairs Hall to provide. Do you have any questions?"
Liu Yun took a look at Patriarch Gu's token. He took over the list and read it carefully. Soon, he frowned and said, "Twenty Blood Crystals?
I remember that Patriarch Gu only took twenty last time. If I ask for another twenty, it will be against the rules of the Hall.
Also, I need ten Crystal of Soul of Ice. Well … this is too much. I need to report to Patriarch Qi. "
"Sure ~"
Lu Li cupped his fists and said, "Brother Liu Yun, I will have to ask Patriarch Qi."
Liu Yun cupped his fists and walked out of the hall. A moment later, he came back and said, "Okay, it is a bit over the limit. But Brother Qian Huanhan has just started to learn forging artifacts. He needs a large amount of materials. Patriarch has given special approval. Later, I will send someone to deliver the materials on the list."
There was a rule in the Chamber of Relics. Disciples should be addressed according to their status instead of age or before or after they joined the sect.
Qian Huanhan was a core disciple and his status was higher than Liu Yun's. Therefore, according to the rules, Liu Yun should call Qian Huanhan brother.
Lu Li was delighted. He was about to stand up and thank Liu Yun when two young ladies came in.
The two of them looked gloomy. One of the young ladies in a red dress said with jealousy, "Brother Liu Yun, you are biased. We are all core disciples. Why can Qian Huanhan give special approval? I only need a bit over the limit, but you don't?"
Lu Li and Qian Huanhan took a look. Both of them were taken aback. The two that came in were Jiang Lianxue and Meng Yu. Lu Li and Qian Huanhan had seen their naked bodies.
Since then, they never saw Jiang Lianxue and Meng Yu again. They didn't even attend Qian Huanhan's apprenticeship ceremony.
Therefore, Lu Li and Qian Huanhan felt awkward when they saw Jiang Lianxue and Meng Yu all of a sudden.
Lu Li soon calmed down. He did not look at them. Qian Huanhan, on the other hand, stared at them without the slightest scruple.
Qian Huanhan's eyes glowed as if he was trying to see through their clothes to their exquisite bodies.
Jiang Lianxue and Meng Yu felt uncomfortable under Qian Huanhan's stare. Meng Yu hid behind Jiang Lianxue shyly.
Jiang Lianxue was enraged. She glared at Qian Huanhan and said, "Qian Huanhan, you have just become a core disciple.
Do you think I won't dig your eyeballs out? "
Qian Huanhan came back to his senses. He grinned and said, "Ha, ha, sorry, Sister Lianxue. You are so beautiful that I could not help but look at you. I hope you don't mind."
"Hmm!"
Jiang Lianxue snorted. She paid no more attention to Qian Huanhan. Looking at Liu Yun, she said, "Liu Yun, if you want to give them special approval, then you must give me special approval as well. Otherwise, I will not agree to it today."
Liu Yun forced a smile. "Sister Lianxue, this is not what they want. It is what Patriarch Gu wants.
Also, they only exceeded the limit by a little bit. You have exceeded the limit by a lot. If the higher-ups know about this, the Hall of Internal Affairs will be punished as well.
Also … they are giving special approval to Patriarch Qi. If you are not happy, you can ask Patriarch Qi. "
Liu Yun's words were reasonable. But Jiang Lianxue would not let it go. "I don't care. Either they do not exceed the limit. If they exceed the limit and you don't give me the approval, then I will not agree to it.
I will not let this go even if the Chief finds out. Let's follow the rules. "
Lu Li and Qian Huanhan were speechless. This Jiang Lianxue was no better than the others. She was unreasonable and capricious.
Liu Yun looked at Qian Huanhan and Lu Li, embarrassed. Naturally, Lu Li could not say anything in this situation.
Qian Huanhan said with a straight face, "Sister Lianxue, don't be unreasonable. Why are you making things difficult for Liu Yun?
Go to Patriarch Qi if you can. "
"Hmm!"
Jiang Lianxue was already angry. How dare Qian Huanhan make fun of her? She glared at Qian Huanhan and said, "Qian Huanhan, who do you think you are?
You are just lucky enough to be accepted as Patriarch Gu's protégé.
Do you really think you are somebody?
You have no right to speak in the Chamber of Relics. Do you believe that I will slap you? "
Qian Huanhan was enraged. How could Jiang Lianxue be so arrogant just because she was related to the Chief?
Without hesitation, Qian Huanhan retorted, "Slap me?
You can try. Do you believe that I won't reveal what happened between the two of you that day? "
"Sh * t!"
