"I will try to think less," Yu Xuan said politely.
"Good." the old woman replied dryly, absentmindedly letting the purple slime perch on her head like some bizarre ornament.
Yu Xuan still wasn't sure if the creature was impossibly brave or simply terrifyingly strong. He cleared his throat.
"Elder, I have a request."
"Go on. Speak."
"May I stay here with my sister for a month?"
The old woman tapped her cane against the ground, expression unreadable. "You could… if I were in the mood to permit it. Unfortunately, child, I'm not."
"Master! How can you bully me like this!" Lingluo protested, puffing her cheeks.
Yu Xuan put on a disappointed look, then slyly added, "In that case, may I join the Chaos Heaven Peak directly? I was told Irregulars are allowed to choose freely." He calmly took out his medallion.
The old woman's eyes lingered on it for a long moment.
'So… he's also one of them.' Her gaze flickered, but her tone remained casual.
"Fine. You can stay."
