The sect master knew of aunt Qing's past-she knew that she'd suffered some setbacks in her love life when she was young, and so she valued men who valued relationships! "Aunt Qing," the sect master said helplessly,"are you sure he wants the fruit to treat his girlfriend? From what I know, the fire Spirit's fruit isn't a herb, is it?"
The sect master's heart was starting to relax-the fruit was precious, but since aunt Qing had said so, she couldn't just reject her too much. She'd raised her up after all, and while they weren't mother and daughter, they were closer than mother and daughter!
The sect master knew that aunt Qing was only discussing this with her out of respect for her-with her position in the Council, even if she just gave the fruit away, the Grand Elder would only be unhappy, but wouldn't dare stop her.
And since aunt Qing had done this, how could the sect master not care about her face?
