Elder Zhou and the others were even more perplexed. What has gotten into the Saint Heir today? He's normally so amiable, even toward common outer disciples. He's always ready with a smile and puts on no airs. Could it be that he wants to establish his authority in front of the new disciples today?

After a long while, Wang Lianshan took a deep breath, her eyes showing extreme determination. "I've made up my mind!"
Wang Xiu looked at her, and the icy expression on his face finally dissolved, becoming as gentle and casual as usual. In an instant, the overwhelming pressure that had chilled everyone to the bone dissipated, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
"Not bad. You've got a tenacious spirit," he smiled slightly and said to Elder Zhou, "I'll have to trouble you, Elder Zhou. Please take her to bathe and change into clean clothes, then bring her to my Spirit Turtle Peak."
Elder Zhou hurriedly replied, "It's no trouble at all, Saint Heir! This is my duty!"
