Bound to the Multiverse Restaurant, I'm now the darling of my staff.

"From this day forward, you are all inner disciples of the Qingyun Sword Sect. I hope you will uphold your original aspirations, diligently cultivate, and not be lazy or negligent. Take it upon yourselves to maintain the order and justice of the world, and live up to your mission!"

"Yes, I will obey the Patriarch's instructions!"

Inside the main hall, the newly enrolled disciples stood according to their spiritual root levels, with Wen Nuan standing at the very front.

Behind her, Chu Ze and Lin Wanrou, both possessing top-grade spiritual roots, stood on either side.

The new disciples behind them wore blue and white robes, white headbands, and their long hair was tied up high; they looked radiant.

The three at the front wore long dresses or robes in silver and white, which set them apart as direct disciples. They also had their respective main peak's tokens hanging from their waists.

Chu Ze ultimately chose an elder whose spiritual root was also fire-type as his master, which made the white-bearded elder beam with joy.

After the initiation ceremony, Xuanxiao stood up from his position and said, "Wen Nuan, come forward."

The woman below, seemingly confused, stepped forward and bowed slightly, saying, "Master."

Now that she has become an apprentice, she knows the basic respect for her teacher.

Xuanxiao, who was originally on the stage, suddenly stood in front of Wen Nuan and took out an item.

"This is my first time taking on a disciple, and I have no experience. Now that you have become my disciple, there should be a formal apprenticeship ceremony."

The first thing you see is a touch of gold, dazzling and bright, shaped like a blooming lotus flower. The petals are thick and radiate a golden luster, and each petal seems to be swaying gently.

Just looking at that golden light can make people feel a sense of warmth.

"A semi-divine artifact? Junior brother, isn't that a bit too extravagant?"

The sect leader was speechless as he looked at what his junior brother had taken out.

If we set such high standards right from the start, what will they do later?

A semi-divine artifact? Wen Nuan stared in surprise at the golden lotus in front of her, while the cold voice continued to speak in her ear.

"This is the Pure Water Lotus, which I obtained by chance from a secret realm. It can purify all the filth in this world. This golden light has a healing effect. Refining it will also provide you with some protection when you encounter danger."

Looking at her master's calm and unwavering gaze, and at the thing in his hand, Wen Nuan felt a mix of emotions.

She knew she wouldn't stay here for long, and her joining the Qingyun Sword Sect was for another purpose.

But she hadn't expected Immortal Venerable Xuanxiao to be so serious about her becoming his disciple, which made her feel a little guilty...

“Thank you, Master…”

Then, unexpectedly, Xuanxiao turned his gaze to Chu Ze behind him and raised his hand.

"Since you are Wen Nuan's subordinate, I will give you this Burning Heaven Sword. It matches your fire-type spiritual root attribute and can unleash its maximum power."

Wen Nuan was speechless. She hadn't expected that her master would think that Chu Ze and Ludwig were her subordinates.

Hmm... she can't afford to hire someone to be an emperor's subordinate...

Chu Ze: "...Yes, thank you, Immortal Venerable."

The deep red sword blade shimmered with iridescent light, like a blazing flame; one glance was enough to tell it was no ordinary object.

I'm getting such a good deal for free, even if I'm just treated as a subordinate, what does it matter!

Moreover, from a certain perspective, this statement is not wrong...

Seeing that the other two had received magical treasures personally given by Immortal Venerable Xuanxiao, Lin Wanrou realized that she was the only one left.

Although it's a pity I couldn't become the Immortal Venerable's disciple, it would be good to receive a magical treasure personally bestowed by the Immortal Venerable.

Lin Wanrou looked on shyly, her eyes full of anticipation as the Immortal Venerable walked towards her... then she turned and returned to her seat...

Warmth watched helplessly as someone performed a Sichuan opera face-changing act, turning their face from bright red to deathly pale...

Tsk tsk tsk, poor kid, he even stretched out his hand!

While feeling sympathy, I couldn't help but smile.

The entire hall fell silent for a moment, so quiet you could hear a pin drop. Although the other disciples didn't speak, their eyes, brimming with gossip, said it all.

As a disciple personally taught by the Immortal Venerable, it was only natural that Wen Nuan would receive a treasure bestowed upon her by the Immortal Venerable.

Chu Ze possesses a rare and top-grade spiritual root, and has a close relationship with the Immortal Venerable's personal disciple. It is understandable that he received a treasure bestowed by the Immortal Venerable.

But Lin Wanrou also possessed a top-grade spiritual root, yet the Immortal Venerable didn't even glance at her. The difference between them is quite intriguing...

Could it be that the Immortal Venerable is feeling indignant on behalf of his disciple because Lin Wanrou had challenged Wen Nuan without cause before?

"Cough cough!"

Finally, it was Sect Master Xuan on the stage who deliberately coughed twice to break the silence, but he didn't say anything to Xuanxiao.

He knew his junior brother's temperament; he couldn't tolerate any wrongdoing.

If it weren't for the fact that Lin Wanrou became his disciple, his junior brother would probably have already taught her a lesson; how could he have let the matter pass so easily?

It's not easy for his junior brother to take on a disciple, so it's normal to spoil him a bit. What else can he do? Of course, he can only spoil his own junior brother.

However, since he had taken him as a disciple, even though he seemed to have some flaws in character, he was still a promising talent. Sect Master Xuan didn't want to embarrass him too much, so he immediately waved his hand.

"Wanrou, since you are becoming my disciple today, I don't have anything good to offer. This top-grade magic artifact has the attribute of water, which is compatible with your spiritual root, so I will give it to you."

He paused, then added.

"I hope you will focus on your cultivation in the future, not be influenced by external things, and make progress as soon as possible."

The implied warning in these words was that Master Xuan hoped his new disciple would understand that he didn't want to see such a promising talent was ultimately wasted by her own actions.

Lin Wanrou naturally understood the unspoken meaning in his words. Her lowered eyes showed a hint of embarrassment. She gritted her teeth, tried to adjust her expression, and said respectfully.

"Yes, disciple thanks Master for bestowing this treasure, and will certainly follow Master's teachings."

One day, she will make those who look down on her regret it!

The humiliation we suffer today will be repaid a hundredfold in the future!

After the initiation ceremony, the elders led their new disciples back to their respective main peaks.

Wen Nuan was no exception. She only had half a month left, and she didn't know if she would be able to come back to this world again. She had to quickly master the cultivation method during this time.

As for the restaurant, it was completely handed over to Ludwig during the time she and Chu Ze were cultivating.

Although one person might be very busy, she also instructed Ludwig that he only needed to operate the business for half a day each day.

For the remaining half day, she gave all the restaurant's revenue from that time to Ludwig, who then went to various places to purchase things they would take back.

Time is tight and the task is heavy, so we can only ask him to work hard.

Warmth silently echoed in his heart, and for some inexplicable reason, he had the illusion that he was Huang Shiren, the ruthless landlord who exploited Yang Bailao...
