Bu Tingyue shook her head, looked at Yuchi with a light smile on her face: "Meeting an old friend in a foreign land is a blessing in life, so it's only right for President Yuchi to stay at our residence for a few more days; otherwise, our Celestial Craft Workshop would seem remiss in hospitality."

The little girl is quite articulate, worthy of being from the Celestial Craft Workshop... Yuchi nodded and then said to Bu Tingyue, "Sister Tingyue, do you miss your sister Luohua?"

Little Sister Luohua... Bu Tingyue nodded, "I do miss her, but mother said that Luohua should be fine cultivating in the sect; you all shouldn't harm Luohua, even though she can be clumsy sometimes and rather jumpy, she doesn't have a mean bone in her body."

Yuchi laughed: "Indeed, she's not mean-hearted."

As for why Bu Luohua was suddenly brought up; it was because seeing Bu Huoran after so much effort, though Bu Huoran didn't directly ask about Bu Luohua, she was definitely very concerned about her youngest daughter. Therefore, since it's awkward for others to ask directly, he helped by bringing it up himself. This sort of thing requires only a bit of thought from another's perspective; it's nothing particularly difficult.

"Luohua is now diligently cultivating at Ascension Gate, not to mention she's a very earnest young girl. You might not believe it, but when Luohua first joined Ascension Gate, she didn't have a Spirit Root. However, after taking a few elixirs, she now possesses a seventh-ranked Spirit Root."

"If it were just a Spirit Root, it might not be much, since these elixirs are incredibly effective. It's just a matter of taking the elixir. It could instantly elevate anyone's Spirit Root cultivation level. But the key point is she's now at the fifth level of Qi Cultivation Realm; how long has it been, only a year, yet her cultivation level has reached this point."

"She truly is brilliant, having completely inherited Mrs. Bu's intelligence, as well as your wisdom and composure as a sister."

"Of course, it's also because neither of you have an interest in cultivation. Were you to wish to cultivate, with your state of mind and financial means, simply purchasing and consuming some elixirs would certainly allow you to become strong cultivators in the future."

Yuchi's words were very comfortable to hear.

On one hand, he informed them about Bu Luohua's current situation, and on another, he complimented the two women. Although everyone knows such compliments are just casual pleasantries and won't have any real impact, they sound quite crisp and pleasant.

"Already at the fifth level of Qi Cultivation Realm? That's indeed a remarkable pace in cultivation!"

Bu Huoran felt very warm inside, knowing her daughter was doing well was the best result in the world.

As for how much cultivation she attained, it didn't really matter; she never expected her daughter to be extraordinarily successful, nor to inherit her own mantle, especially since she has her sister Bu Tingyue, who plans to inherit. But since the matter was brought up, she couldn't help but say:

"Then she must have used quite a few elixirs, since reaching the fifth level of Qi Cultivation Realm is certainly impressive."

"Even if recouping the cost of the Spirit Root Pill is still a distant prospect, there's already been a significant elixir consumption. So let's stick to the previous agreement and give you ten thousand silver a month, which should temporarily suffice for Bu Luohua's needs."

Yuchi admitted he was tempted; while ten thousand silver a month wouldn't offset his monthly expense of seventy thousand, having something is always better than nothing.

However, the words he's spoken are like water that's been spilled; he couldn't possibly exploit Little Sister Luohua just because her family has money. Even Zong Qianqun, a Spirit Storage Stage cultivator, gets free elixirs from him.

Put oneself in others' shoes; a sect, as a sect, shouldn't practice double standards, although... although he really could use that ten thousand silver.

"No worries, the sect isn't short of money!"

Yuchi decisively remarked, "Besides, all the other disciples also receive elixirs for free; I can't let the sect treat Luohua unfairly, that would be unethical."

Gesturing at the soft beef in his bowl, Yuchi smiled and said: "But now I know you reside in Cuncha City, I'll be dropping by to freeload whenever the chance arises, as long as Luohua doesn't find out, she wouldn't badmouth me as her little uncle."

He's quite a humorous person... Bu Tingyue sat upright, thinking to herself.

And just now, it was Yuchi who took the initiative to think from Bu Huoran's perspective, but now it was Bu Huoran's turn to consider Yuchi's situation, as even if Yuchi says he doesn't want money, who would mind having more funds while running a sect? Surely, no one would. It's an unlikely situation.
