Chapter 1945 Stone Gambling 3
Mu Weiran disapproved of Gu Chaoyan"s reaction and att.i.tude, but she managed to maintain her composure. As the daughter of the Wuji Sect"s leader, she was accustomed to being respected wherever she went in the Yuehua Continent. This was the first time she had been disregarded by someone like Gu Chaoyan.
It was no wonder that Zhao Dier held such animosity towards Gu Chaoyan. She lacked the decorum expected of the Elder Miss of the prestigious Piaomiao Pavilion.
However, this was a crucial moment, and Mu Weiran needed allies. There was no need for her true disposition to be revealed at this point.
Mu Weiran maintained her gentle demeanor.
She then spoke, "You have a remarkable eye for identifying stones."
"…."
"I appreciate that about you."
"…."
"Even without any spiritual power, the Wuji Sect is willing to extend an offer of collaboration to you."
"…."
"In return for your service to the Wuji Sect, we can provide you with the benefits you desire."
"…."
"The Wuji Sect only accepts the top fifty disciples each year, but we can make an exception in your case," Mu Weiran proposed, adopting a more diplomatic tone.
The conditions offered by Mu Weiran were already generous and considerate.
Gu Chaoyan furrowed her brows.
It was no wonder that this person had initially displayed such arrogance and disdain, only to later approach her with a more humble demeanor. It seemed that he had taken an interest in her skill for stone gambling.
What a shame.
The Wuji Sect?
It wasn"t exactly her cup of tea.
She gently shook her head. "I appreciate your kindness, Lady Mu Weiran, but it"s unnecessary. Gu Chaoyan doesn"t belong under anyone"s control."
"…."
"I have some stones to examine, so I"ll be taking my leave," Gu Chaoyan said politely.
Given that Mu Weiran had always maintained a polite att.i.tude, Gu Chaoyan reciprocated it naturally.
Mu Weiran furrowed her brows. She hadn"t antic.i.p.ated such a strong refusal despite her efforts to persuade.
She couldn"t quite understand what was going on with this person
Mu Weiran, being the daughter of the Wuji Sect"s leader, couldn"t beg Gu Chaoyan any further, even though she was magnanimous. She had already made her position clear.
Sometimes, playing hard to get was a strategic move.
Maintaining her politeness, Mu Weiran apologized, "I apologize for the intrusion," and made way for Gu Chaoyan to walk ahead.
Such gestures were part of her etiquette as the Elder Miss of the Wuji Sect.
It also showcased her generosity.
She had upheld this demeanor for years, even in front of Gu Chaoyan.
On the side, Zhao Dier couldn"t help but mutter, "Weiran, what are you trying to achieve? Who does she think she is? Why should you give in to her?"
"It"s alright," Mu Weiran responded calmly.
However,
She followed Gu Chaoyan into the same room.
This particular location was renowned for its high-level Spirit Stone drops, precisely the reason Mu Weiran had desired to visit.
In the midst of the ongoing frenzy for the Golden Rolls, no one had the luxury of leisurely utilizing mid-level Spirit Stones to enhance their cultivation. The quickest route was to employ the highest-grade Spirit Stones.
That understanding was shared by Gu Chaoyan and Mu Weiran, which led them to occupy the same room.
Nevertheless, even though they were sharing the s.p.a.ce, each of them selected their own rooms.
Zhao Dier stood beside Mu Weiran, sporting a flattering expression. "Weiran, could you help me choose some stones as well? Your expertise in stone selection surpa.s.ses mine, and I find myself at a loss."
Mu Weiran nodded.
With that, she immersed herself in the task of examining the stones.
These stones had never been opened before, rendering them impervious to energy sensing.
