After Huo Ling'er walked out the door, she did not leave immediately, but stopped not far from the door.

His eyes kept looking into the distance, as if he was waiting for someone.

After a while, when she saw Wu Lei and his group coming out of the mission hall, a hint of joy appeared on her face. She quickly stepped forward, bowed to Wu Lei and the others and said, "I am grateful for the help of all the junior brothers and sisters just now. Ling'er would like to thank you!"

However, before Wu Lei could respond, a man with a particularly bright smile behind him stepped out from the crowd first.

The man first bowed to Huo Ling'er, then introduced himself: "Junior Master, my name is Tang Qi. Oh, by the way, we have a few fellow masters here who have not yet been introduced to you."

After that, he turned around and pointed at the people Huo Ling'er had never seen before, saying, "This is Feng Zhigang, this is Yan Tao, they are both disciples of the Second Elder like me; and Zhao Hui and Dong Haoran standing over there are disciples of the Seventh Elder; as for the last one, Lan Yuze..."

At this point, Tang Qi paused for a moment, then scratched his head and laughed, "Haha, Junior Uncle, can you remember all the people you introduced at once? And some of my fellow apprentices couldn't make it today."

Huo Linger smiled slightly, her eyes swept across the slightly kind faces of the group of nephews in front of her, and replied softly:

"Thank you for your help, Tang Qi. Don't worry, I will try my best to remember everyone's name. When we meet in the future, I will naturally be able to recognize everyone. Why rush now? I am really grateful to you all today! Thank you!"

Tang Qi stepped forward to stop Huo Ling'er, fearing that she would be too polite. Then she took out a gift and handed it to Huo Ling'er: "Uncle Junior, this is a gift from my nephew. Please don't despise it, please accept it."

"This……"

Huo Linger looked at the thing in her hand and felt that it was a bit sudden. It was not right to take it, and it was not right not to take it.

Although I haven't studied it carefully, I can tell at a glance that it is not an ordinary item.

After all, I am an "elder", so this gift is very difficult to receive.

Wu Lei frowned slightly when he saw this, then gently covered his nose, with a faint smile on his lips, he said: "This is a space magic weapon, Junior Master Uncle, keep it. It will definitely come in handy when Junior Master Uncle goes out for training in the future. Junior Brother Tang has a lot of treasures at home, and things of this level are nothing to him."

"Yes, Junior Uncle-Master. Please don't be polite to me. If you don't accept it, it would be disrespectful to Tang Qi!"

After hearing this, Huo Linger, who originally wanted to return the things, hesitated for a moment, and finally retracted her hand.

"Thank you! I'll accept your kindness then~"

At this time, Lan Yuze suddenly took out a handful of yellow paper from his arms and stuffed it into Huo Linger's hand, saying, "I'm sorry, Junior Master, I came here in a hurry and forgot to prepare the gifts in advance. So I can only take out some of this temporarily, I hope you don't mind..."

As he spoke, his long eyelashes on his slightly childish face trembled slightly, and his eyes quickly swept over Huo Ling'er. Then his cheeks instantly turned red, like a ripe apple, and he was extremely shy.

Huo Ling'er stared blankly at the stack of yellow papers in her hand, speculating secretly in her mind.

If I guessed correctly, these should all be talismans. If I took out any one of them at random, I'm afraid it would cause others to fight for it.

But at this moment, Lan Yuze actually gave him a whole stack, and was even worried that he would dislike it?

Shi Lei came close to Huo Ling'er and said in a low voice: "In fact, Lan Yuze was originally just an ordinary fox in the back mountain, but later he was fortunate enough to receive the enlightenment of his master, and then he began to practice and eventually transformed into a human form. And do you know? His favorite thing is to carve those mysterious runes."

Huo Linger tried to calm her inner turmoil, then bowed to Lan Yuze and said, "Thank you! Lan Yuze, I will accept this gift. If I go out in the future, this will really be the best thing to carry with me."

Seeing this, Lan Yuze laughed and said, "Little Master, you are too polite! Don't be polite to me."

Strangely enough, he himself couldn't understand why he had such a special feeling for this junior master. It was as if there was a force pulling him, making him want to get close to her.

Wu Lei, who was standing by, witnessed this scene and couldn't help but feel a little suspicious.

You know, on weekdays, this junior brother of mine is extremely indifferent to everyone and doesn't like to talk to anyone.

But today he was so friendly and affectionate to Junior Master, which was really puzzling. What was going on? Could it be that Junior Master had some secret that could attract Junior Brother?

At this time, Zhao Hui couldn't help but say: "Well... I don't have anything particularly valuable at home. Apart from a few spiritual stones, I really can't find anything else worth showing off..."

Zhao Hui lowered his head slightly, with a barely perceptible inferiority in his eyes. He reached out to untie the space bag around his waist and handed it to Huo Ling'er.

"Uncle Junior Master, this bag contains some spiritual stones, you can use them.

Although it’s not much, it’s also a token of my appreciation, please don’t despise it! "

Huo Ling'er curled her lips slightly, but did not reach out to catch the space bag.

In fact, although the spiritual stones in her own space were not abundant, the ones Ye Canglan gave her were enough for her use. How could she accept things from others? Moreover, seeing Zhao Hui's pitiful look at the moment, she couldn't bear to accept this gift.

So, Huo Linger forced a smile and said awkwardly: "No need, Zhao Hui. I have my own spiritual stones, and there is no chance to use them here. You should keep them for future use."

Thinking of this, Huo Linger couldn't help but sigh secretly, feeling a little sorry. However, at this moment, Liu Weijie came over.

Without saying a word, he reached out and picked up the space bag, quickly transferring all the spirit stones inside.

Afterwards, Liu Weijie lowered his voice and said to Huo Linger: "Uncle Junior, the Xiaoyao Pavilion run by Zhao Hui's family is spread all over the Lincang Continent. The spiritual stones his family earns are as abundant as water. To him, these spiritual stones are not worth much at all."

Huo Ling'er pursed her lips and was speechless for a moment. Just now, she was still convinced that Zhao Hui was living in poverty!

Then, she sensed it briefly and realized that the space bag was already filled with spirit stones, and she might not even be able to put her hand in.

"So many!" Huo Ling'er couldn't help but exclaimed.

You know, to fill a space bag, the number of spirit stones needed would probably be over 100 million.

The reward she had earned from her previous efforts in refining the elixir was only a mere tens of millions of spirit stones.

Such a huge difference is astonishing. A generous gift given by others can be worth hundreds of millions. The difference is simply unimaginable.

"Not much at all, not much at all! In our family, these spirit stones are nothing at all." Zhao Hui grinned, revealing a row of neat white teeth, and smiled foolishly.

"Thank you, Hui!"

Huo Ling'er thanked him and took a few steps back, saying, "My fellow apprentices, please stop giving me gifts. I am really flattered."

People often mention the word "reciprocity", but at this moment she felt very troubled: after accepting such an expensive gift from others, what should she give back? What's worse is that she doesn't know what they like at all!

Seeing this situation, Wu Lei and the others felt a little compassion at the same time. They knew that Huo Ling'er came from the Lower God Continent, and perhaps her family was not rich, so she might have never come into contact with these luxury goods and rare items before.

Normally, one should be delighted to receive such a generous gift.

But now she was frightened instead - she must have suffered a lot in the past, and probably no one had ever treated her so well before.

Thinking back to when I gave Lu Meiqi a gift, she was smiling happily and accepted the gift very naturally and smoothly; in comparison, the difference here is really huge.

However, if you think about it carefully, the gifts they gave to Lu Meiqi before did not seem to be as valuable as these today!
