The Way of The Dao

One of the main concerns they all had in seeing their Master again was to see if he would be comfortable with the two disciples they had taken on. Although they were the Masters of a small sect they had created, Xuanyuan Ling and her brother were the only two personal disciples they had taken in for a long time and had cared for them, just as Ling Tian had done for them.

And now it seemed that Xuanyuan Ling had passed the test, so they felt excited. It would only remain to be seen what evaluation Ling Tian would give Xuanyuan Ling's brother.

"Yan'er is happy that Master found you, Sister Xiaoyi, Sister Fei. Master told us several times about you and Yan'er hopes to get along with you too!"

Gu Yan Yan approached Ning Xiaoyi and Xi Fei at once. Her face formed a small smile as she showed a friendly expression without any hidden feelings at all. Zhao Yu also greeted them when she finished with Zhen Bingluo and the others.

Xi Fei and Ning Xiaoyi felt something strange when they heard the address of "sisters" towards them again, but they still greeted just the same. Although they really didn't care much about the seniority and relationship between Masters and Disciples, they were still aware of several things. Zhao Yu and Gu Yan should be considered juniors before them, since they two are of the same generation as Ling Tian, who is their Master. To say that they addressed them as seniors would not be wrong, but instead they addressed them as sisters on the same level.

Xi Fei and Ning Xiaoyi did not take much importance, mainly because the two of them were from the Immortal World and were obviously more powerful than them, which in terms of cultivation the two of them would be juniors, which was contradictory to the previous point...

"Girls, those two were my fellow cultivators, so you have to show respect." Ling Tian frowned and corrected Gu Yan and Zhao Yu. He had a feeling that these two girls of his had different intentions despite greeting enthusiastically and normally.

"But we want to get along with them, Master. We have no intention of disrespecting them." Zhao Yu replied with a faint smile, adding a mysterious charm to her expression.

"Master doesn't want Yan'er to get along with them?" Gu Yan also replied with a question, smiling faintly. Her eyes sparkled with a mysterious touch just like her senior martial sister.

Ling Tian looked at both of them and let out a sigh. If he said yes, then he would be agreeing to what both women were planning to do, but if he refused, he would be expressing a discontent in everyone. He was unaware of the intention that both girls had towards Ning Xiaoyi and Xi Fei, but he had an intuition that it was something troublesome.

"Sister Ning is also important to Master, isn't she? Yu'er will make sure to get along with her too!"

Zhao Yu approached with a smile and greeted Xue Ning with respect as well. Her gaze turned to Ling Tian and showed a somewhat resentful expression, as if showing that he didn't trust her.

Ling Tian remained silent and looked with a defeated expression at his wives who watched him with playful and somewhat strange smiles. He could not force someone to change their feelings, everyone is free to love and decide for themselves.

"Then this is my gift to you as a sister too! I hope we can get along well!"

Suddenly, Xue Ning who had been staring at her for a while smiled charmingly with a glowing radiance as she took out some items from her storage ring and handed them to Zhao Yu and then to Gu Yan as well.

Zhao Yu looked at her smiling expression and the crisis of alarm in her heart shot up!

Although Xue Ning looked sweet and delighted, she was transmitting a vibe similar to her own, not letting anyone notice what she was hiding in her heart. This woman was extremely dangerous!

Gu Yan smiled at Xue Ning but she also had some thoughts like her sister. Xue Ning's smile reminded her of Zhao Yu's expression, so she was right in thinking about not letting her guard down.

But this did not stop there. Xue Ning also took out other items, ranging from blood essence pills, Chi recovery pills, medicinal pills, beauty pills, cultivation essence pills, offensive and defensive weapons, spiritual herbs, spiritual fruits, and even jewelry accessories and so on. Without hesitation, Xue Ning handed over various items to Zhen Bingluo, Gao Xue and Gao Yue with big smiles.

Xi Fei and Ning Xiaoyi also received some gifts from Xue Ning. They accepted them after thinking about it, especially seeing Ling Tian's confirmation.

"Wow! This is for me? Thank you!" Lan Yin was surprised and thanked with a delighted smile when this big sister gave her several items. Xue Ning personally placed a delicate ribbon around Lan Yin's neck, with a small pendant that was in the shape of an adorable little beautiful bird.

"Big Sister Ning'er is very kind!" Qing Sha also couldn't help but praise and thank Xue Ning when she handed her some items as well, as well as exquisite and delicate jewelry, especially when Xue Ning placed a lovely hairpin in the shape of a purple butterfly on her hair; the hairpin were as exquisite as the pendant Lan Yin wore, with both being made of exquisite and beautiful jade.

Xue Ning smiled sweetly at Lan Yin and Qing Sha's comments before turning to Yun Mengxin and the others and handing over a few things as well.

"I didn't know that my big brother had already married such beautiful women. I hope we can get along well!"

Xue Ning declared with sincerity and enthusiasm. Her gaze fell on Yun Mengxin first for several seconds before shifting to Zhang Xinya, Tang Wanying, Long Yuyin, Mu Shuiruo and Shan Qingwu. The little white fox also did not escape her sight.

Yun Mengxin looked up and smiled slightly as she accepted her gift, nodding to Xue Ning. Zhang Xinya narrowed her eyes with a small smile. Tang Wanying smiled playfully while still stroking the little white fox sleeping on her lap. Long Yuyin stared at her before accepting her gift as well, giving her a faint smile. Mu Shuiruo smiled gratefully with a tender and gentle touch. Meanwhile, Shan Qingwu blushed at her words, thinking that Xue Ning might have mistaken her for her being Ling Tian's wife as well, although she was hesitant to accept the gift because she would think Xue Ning would be right, Shan Qingwu had no choice but to accept it when the gaze of her senior sisters fell on her and nodded at her with big smiles.

"A selfless gift?"

Tang Wanying suddenly asked with a playful smile.

Xue Ning was slightly startled and smiled a little awkwardly, as if she had been discovered.

How could Tang Wanying not see that Xue Ning was trying to be accepted and even influence them, to the point of being on good terms with all of them? Even Lan Yin and Qing Sha were happy to receive Xue Ning's gifts without thinking of anything else!

Although Lan Yin and Qing Sha were just little girls, it was normal for them to be unable to discern Xue Ning's movement. But they as adult women had their wisdom and saw that Xue Ning was trying to win them all over for the moment by deliberately handing out gifts for meeting each other for the first time. It was not that they were displeased by Xue Ning's action, but they really did not quite know if she would have other unknown intentions. Adding to their instinct as women, this was only becoming clearer and clearer.

"I sincerely want to get along with all of you..."

Xue Ning seemed to be caught and forced a shy smile. She handed over her gifts sincerely, but she also had another hidden intention: to be accepted by all of them and become sisters honestly, especially with Tang Wanying and the others seeing that they were Ling Tian's wives. Xue Ning knew that the best way to be accepted would be to be on good terms with all of them, especially with Ling Tian's wives. Once they accepted her and had a good impression of her, she would have all the time to earn their trust and be true sisters in every sense....

"W-we have gifts too!"

Gao Yue's somewhat trembling voice was heard as she also took out several items and handed them to Lan Yin, Gu Yan and Xue Ning. She also delivered to Tang Wanying and co-wives!

"As senior martial sisters these are our gifts to our junior martial sisters! I hope you like them!"

Lan Yin and Qing Sha were stupefied for a few moments before grinning happily when they saw the large amounts of gifts from their senior sisters to them.

As if they had decided not to be left behind, Gao Xue and Zhen Bingluo also took out various items and presented them to everyone as first time gifts. Finally Ning Xiaoyi and Xi Fei moved in and presented some items as well, especially to Yun Mengxin and the others!

Even Zhao Yu and Gu Yan handed some items to Lan Yin and Qing Sha as well, then to give gifts to the other women as well but without showing weakness, wanting to keep a strong and high position. Both women exchanged words with Long Yuyin and the others as well.

Qing Sha and Lan Yin were engulfed in many gifts. Somehow, although most of them were special and eye-catching items, they were not that rare or unique, but they were still of immeasurable value. Even several of them were not cultivation resources but simple accessories and eye-catching toys.

Tang Wanying and Zhang Xinya could not help but chuckle under their breath finally. Long Yuyin smiled in amusement, Mu Shuiruo and Shan Qingwu were surprised to see the amount of treasures abounding the place. Yun Mengxin's gaze was mysterious with no one who could see through it, but she smiled with some grace and amusement towards Ling Tian after a while.

It seemed that all of them were showing their generosity in front of everyone, but clearly they were slyly targeting them and Lan Yin and Qing Sha. Lan Yin and Qing Sha are Ling Tian's current and most recent disciples, and mostly very small and spoiled by him noticing their expressions and behaviors, so it was easier to be on good terms with the two of them being little girls and gain their affection and trust. But mainly, they are Ling Tian's current wives, so they are undoubtedly important and key points in the coming relationship with Ling Tian.

Gao Yue together with her twin sister Gao Xue had some blush on their faces, as if they had also been found out. But despite that they still did the same as Xue Ning. Zhen Bingluo looked at everything with a calm expression with a small smile.

They all knew that the key to winning lies in Ling Tian's wives!

If they manage to make a good impression then everything will be easier!
