Jian Chen was the quicker to recover, and immediately went inside. Then followed by Bai Shen, who smiled at Su Mi as her took out a storage bag, and gave it to she.
"Sister Bai, this..." Su Mei guessed it with surprise when she received it.
Smiling calmly, Bai Shen explained, "It was a gift from me. Inside there are also some things you might like."
At the same time as Bai Shen explained, Su Mei had already checked the contents, and was once again shocked. "Sister Bai, these clothes are really a lot, aren't they? this must be very expensive. I can't pay for it."
"Don't worry about it, it's nothing much. How about it, do you like it?"
Su Mei raised her head, looked at Bai Shen, and nodded several times. "Thank you, sister. You are very kind, and beautiful."
Hearing this unprecedented praise from Jian Chen, Bai Shen smiled broadly and nodded.
"Oh right!" Su Mei recalled something and said to Bai Shen, "I have prepared food beforehand. Sister Bai, why don't you join us to eat?"
"It just so happens that I haven't eaten either." Bai Shen nodded and went inside.
When they arrived at the dining table, they discovered that Jian Chen was already sitting there, and was already chewing some food in his mouth.
Seeing that, Bai Shen couldn't help but say, "Is this how you treat a guest?"
Hearing the words directed at himself, Jian Chen first swallowed the food in his mouth, and looked towards Bai Shen lazily.
"I never invited you, you were the one who came alone, and followed me here."
“You..” Once again, Bai Shen glared at Jian Chen, and gave him a look full of dissatisfaction.
Jian Chen no longer paid attention to Bai Shen and returned to focusing on his food.
Feeling that another storm was coming, Su Mei, who was between the two of them, immediately diverted her attention by saying to Bai Shen, "Before the food gets cold, we should eat it quickly."
"That's right! If you don't want to eat, don't stand there and disturb my appetite." Jian Chen added, which immediately made Bai Shen grit his teeth.
Angry, and confused, that was what Bai Shen was currently experiencing. She truly did not understand, how could it be that with all the things her had and all the kindness done to Jian Chen, this man still thought of herself as a bully.
This was the first time Bai Shen was ignored, and unwanted by a man, if it weren't for the Master's orders, maybe Bai Shen really wouldn't want to talk, or even see him at all.
Why is there such an annoying man in this world?
Luckily there was still Su Mei at home, seeing that Bai Shen seemed like her was going to explode, she immediately went forward, and held his hand. "Sister Bai, Brother Chen was just joking. Don't mind him, let's go eat."
Hearing Su Mei's concern, Bai Shen felt a little calm smiling at her, then sat down and ignored Jian Chen's cold attitude. However, in between meals, Bai Shen often glanced at Jian Chen with a sharp gaze as if her wanted to eat him too.
It seemed that her still didn't accept the words that Jian Chen said earlier.
Luckily Jian Chen no longer wanted to fight with Bai Shen, and preferred to focus on what was on his plate.
Feeling that the dining atmosphere was a bit stiff, Su Mei felt uncomfortable, and turned to Bai Shen to lighten the mood, "Sister Bai, among the group of trial disciples or outer disciples, I don't seem to have seen you. Is Sister Bai an inner disciple? But the inner disciple's clothes were red, while Sister Bai's were white. Could it be that it's a core student?"
It wasn't just Su Mei who felt curious about Bai Shen's identity, Jian Chen himself also felt curious when he heard the question and secretly focused his ears.
Bai Shen herself, when her heard Su Mei's questions, her always gave a warm smile, and never refused to answer like her did to Jian Chen.
"There are four groups of disciples in the Yanjin Sect. First are the trial disciples, the outer disciples, the inner disciples, and the core disciples. Of all categories, core disciples were the most special, because the Sect provided unlimited resources to them. However, since the past hundred years, there have been no more core disciples in Yanjin Sect. So, how could I possibly become a core disciple!"
"Then, if Sister Bai is not a core disciple, what kind of disciple is she?"
"I..." Bai Shen hesitated before answering, "I am a disciple who came to the Sect because my Master brought me. I am not a disciple of the Sect, but a disciple of the Sect Elder."
"Ooh, that's it." Su Mei nodded in understanding. but her didn't really understand, only Jian Chen and Bai Shen herself understood the meaning of the Elder disciple.
The disciples brought by the Elders could also be trial disciples, but they were better than ordinary Inner Disciples. Because after all, a disciple like Bai Shen was cultivated by a Sect Elder.
This Bai Shen was also not tied to the Yanjin Sect at all, but her could walk around freely within the Sect because of a Master behind him. If her wanted to be part of the Sect, her would also have to take a test to become a Sect disciple.
"Speaking of students, do you know that in a month there will be a selection of new students?" Bai Shen suddenly asked Su Mei.
"Know," Su Mei nodded, "Brother Chen has said before."
"Then, do you know the prize for becoming number 1 student?"
Su Mei shook her head in disbelief, and asked back, "Does Sister Bai know?"
“A little,” Bai Shen said as her slightly glanced at Jian Chen who didn't seem to be paying attention and explained, “I heard, if there's a new disciple who stands out in the exam, he or she will immediately become an Inner Disciple.”
"Directly become an Inner Disciple?" Su Mei was a little surprised.
"Correct! Directly promoted to become an Inner Disciple without having to become an Outer Disciple," Bai Shen nodded reassuringly, "In addition, there are also some rewards that are very useful for Qi Training under him. However, the most important thing was, there would be Sect Elders who had been in seclusion to come and take a look. If anyone catches the attention of these Elders, it is not impossible that he will be appointed as a Core Disciple."
After finishing explaining, Bai Shen saw great surprise and hope in Su Mei's eyes. In fact, Jian Chen who wasn't paying attention to them immediately looked towards Bai Shen, and asked, "Is what you're talking about true?"
Bai Shen very clearly heard Jian Chen's question, but her was still hostile towards him, and pretended not to hear it. Her just smiled at Su Mei, and asked, "How? Are you interested?"
"Of course!" Su Mei replied excitedly, but her enthusiasm soon faded and muttered, "But there is Brother Chen, I definitely won't be the first."
Hearing Su Mei mention Jian Chen, Bai Shen immediately felt disgusted and started to sneer, "What can an annoying guy like him dowith the fourth level Qi Training you have, a second level Qi Training like him is just a small fry."
Su Mei nodded, but then shook her head, "I don't want to fight for number one with Brother Chen."
Hearing Su Mei's answer, Bai Shen was immediately stunned and immediately looked at Jian Chen, who was now looking at him with a big smile.
This bastard guy, what's so special about him? To make Su Mei say something like that?
