(MC POV)
During the night, I gave my disciples the Celestial Maiden hairpins that I won in the auction and needless to say, they were more than elated to receive them and they put them on immediately.
There was one for Brendan too and he did his hair up in a short ponytail to put it on, my alchemist looking really bashful when he did so while asking me if it looks weird on him. Of course I assured him that he looked dashing which made him blush up a storm.
I also gave one bottle of the Dragon Killer wine to Hao Chi who burst into tears the moment he received it, promising to devote his life to me or something. It was hard to understand what he was saying through his sobbing.
I simply gave him a noncommittal comment and escaped back into my room to the safety of my disciples.
The next morning, we were prepared to finally start the final leg of our trip towards the capital city.
