Chen Ye's eyes moved, secretly suspicious.
In theory, since arrangements have been made for a privileged treatment, why bother to promote in front of him?
From this, it seems Steward Li might be emphasizing the Sect Master's favor.
If it were other guardians, they would surely be flattered by such ups and downs, feeling deeply grateful to the Sect Master...
However, guardian-level figures do indeed come into the view of major figures within the sect and will more or less be courted.
Of course, under normal circumstances, no amount of courting would lead to such generous treatment.
Chen Ye's heart was as clear as a mirror, but his face appropriately showed gratitude:
"Since it is the Sect Master's great favor, Chen is deeply grateful. Please, Steward Li, convey my sentiments; I will serve the sect diligently and live up to the Sect Master's expectations."
"Well said, well said! With Guardian Chen's dedication, the Sect Master will surely be pleased!"
