Li Yuanming felt no shame; instead, he took pride in it. After all, his disciple was talented, which reflected well on him.
With a gleeful grin, he exclaimed, "Well done, Zhouzhou! Keep it up like this in the future, and bring more people to me."
Zhouzhou, somewhat sobered up, sat up in bed and asked, "So, Master, do you intend to take them as disciples?"
"How could that be?" Li Yuanming shook his head without hesitation, confidently stating, "What if I end up with another one like you, lacking money and luck, and bankrupt the Taoist temple again?"
Zhouzhou: "..."
Excellent, achievement unlocked—master and disciple hurting each other early in the morning.
After exchanging a few words of "goodbye" in a particularly perfunctory manner after their verbal spar, they hung up.
Zhouzhou puffed up her cheeks and hummed indignantly.
What's wrong with being short of money? She's adorable!
Has he ever seen such an adorable person short of money?
