The crowd burst into laughter, making the atmosphere lively and bustling, as everyone gathered to see whose gift was the most novel.
The Third Elder watched quietly, a subtle smile curling at her lips as she observed the disciples enjoying themselves, yet a faint pang of jealousy stirred in her heart.
This Lingruo is really inconsiderate. Though I'm over three hundred years old, am I not entitled to receive gifts? I don't expect anything too expensive from you.
In fact, if the Third Elder were to be more gracious to men, the gifts she would receive would pile up like mountains. But she would always give away anything a man gifted her to the stray dogs on the roadside.
But even so, isn't there any woman who doesn't look forward to receiving gifts?
"Third Elder, You Su has been greatly helped by you since his arrival at the mountain. Please accept this token of my appreciation."
A soft voice called out to the Third Elder, without disturbing the merriment around them.
