After hearing the narratives of both parties, Lu Wen roughly understood the context of the matter. He knocked gently on his granddaughter’s head, saying, "This isn’t Ah Dai’s fault, you’re the one who has been too playful, even daring to kick your master’s nephew. Xiao Lizi, go call your master and ask him to properly discipline this unruly girl." Xiao Lizi’s master was Lu Wen’s only son.
Li Yi agreed and imdiately left to fetch his master. The girl glared resentfully at Ah Dai, her eyes shimring with unshed tears.
Lu Wen carefully inspected his granddaughter’s injured leg. It wasn’t a grave injury, but a full recovery would require at least a hundred days of rest. He thought to himself that perhaps this was divine punishnt for his mischievous granddaughter. Turning to Ah Dai, he said, "Ah Dai, don’t take this to heart. It’s not your fault. By the way, I’ve been aning to see your master, but also he expressly asked not to be disturbed. Do you have any business with him?"
Ah Dai replied, "Great Grandmaster sent to see a few of you. He said he had sothing important to discuss."
Lu Wen was taken aback. Considering the Sword Saint of the Tian Gang’s instructions, there wasn’t room for even the smallest delay. He promptly said, "Ah Dai, help watch over her here until her father cos and takes her back to rest. I’ll go find the others now." After finishing, he hurried off towards the Sword Sect Court.
The seven or eight other youths present looked at each other questioningly, curious about this master’s nephew who was younger than them. One of the more audacious ones stepped forward, asking, "Young master, what technique did you use just now? How did you manage to create that perfectly crafted wooden board in just a few minutes?"
Ah Dai replied, "I just use innate fighting energy to split the tree branch, then cut off the unwanted parts."
The youth admiringly said, "Master, you can project your fighting energy, have you already reached the fifth realm? But why is your energy yellow, unlike ours?"
The girl, whose leg did not hurt as badly now that it had been carefully treated, harrumphed at the boy’s questions, saying, "Who knows where he cos from? No one’s allowed to talk to him, understood?"
The youth was taken aback, he gave a sheepish smile towards Ah Dai, and stepped back.
Just then, Xi Wen rushed into the courtyard. Upon seeing him, everyone greeted respectfully, "Greetings, Sect Leader."
Xi Wen nodded slightly and walked over to Ah Dai, asking, "Ah Dai, the Great Grandmaster summoned us?"
Ah Dai nodded, saying, "Yes! Great Grandmaster sent to find all of you. He seems to have sothing to tell you."
Xi Wen was the first person Lu Wen had inford, which was why he had been able to arrive so quickly. He glanced at the girl sitting on the ground and smiled, saying, "Yi Yi, I hear you’ve gotten yourself into trouble again."
Yi Yi pouted, complaining, "Grandpa, I didn’t create any trouble. Look, my leg’s broken because of him. You must avenge ."
Xi Wen touched Yi Yi’s injured area and smiled, "Your grandpa has already nded it for you, just rest well and it’ll be fine. As long as you don’t bully others, Ah Dai won’t bully you. Ah Dai, I heard you’re learning the art of Transmutation with the Great Grandmaster. How’s your progress?" As the eldest disciple of the Sword Saint of the Tian Gang, Xi Wen was the only mber of the Sword Sect, besides Ah Dai, to acquire this special martial arts technique. However, he had only just started learning it a few days prior.
Ah Dai nodded, saying, "I can barely apply it now."
Xi Wen patted Yi Yi’s head and said, "Since you’re the one at fault, and given your broken leg, I’ll have Ah Dai compensate you with sothing. How does that sound?"
Finally, soone was standing up for her. Yi Yi was overjoyed and quickly said, "Yes! Thank you, grandpa. You’re the best."
Xi Wen chuckled, "If your grandpa heard that, he would be heartbroken."
Yi Yi stuck out her tongue, saying, "He wouldn’t know as long as you don’t tell him. Grandpa, what are you having him give ?"
Xi Wen turned to Ah Dai, "The snake skins the Great Grandmaster gifted us have been impossible to separate with our current abilities. However, I heard the Great Grandmaster ntion that only the technique of Life Transformation could potentially accomplish it. When you have so free ti, divide the snake skins. Since you killed the Giant Spirit Snake, you can consider the snake skins as your possessions. First, divide the skins for your fellow disciples, and then create a Close-fitted Light Armor for Yi Yi as your apology. Does that sound alright?"
Ah Dai hurriedly nodded, "ntor Xi Wen, Great Grandmaster told to wait for you all to return before going back to the Stone Cave. I can divide the snake skins in the anti. I just don’t know if my abilities will suffice."
"Yi Yi, my darling girl, what’s happened to you? Who dares to break my daughter’s leg?" a robust voice rang out. A burly man carrying the Tian Gang Sword on his back hastily walked towards the group. With an imposing stature and fierce aura, he looked every bit the formidable warrior.
