"Little fellow, your comprehension is not bad."
In the dimly-lit dwelling, Elder Tianxuan, dressed only in a light robe, her long hair cascading down like a waterfall, sat in front of a dressing table. As she combed her dark hair, she assessed Jiang Li, "You’re also quite adept at judging the situation."
Jiang Li had kept a low profile as an Outer Disciple for three years, acting discreetly until Elder Wan pointed him out, only then did he begin to show his abilities. Clearly, he was a person who was both cautious and low-profile.
Logically, even after becoming a disciple of Elder Tianxuan, he should have concealed so of his abilities to avoid being completely seen through by her. However, his visit that night and the intelligence he exhibited proved that he did not maintain his usual cautious and low-profile deanor.
He saw his own situation and understood Elder Tianxuan’s desire for him to advance swiftly, seizing the opportunity for growth instead of simply keeping to himself.
This was not keeping a low profile, but it was cautious enough to preserve his life.
Such behavior showed that he had grown from before, and...
"Trust towards and Qingyue?" Elder Tianxuan paused in her combing.
This trust ca a bit too quickly and was uncharacteristic of Jiang Li’s usual disposition. She thought it would take several more teachings before Jiang Li would let down his guard. Unexpectedly, he trusted her on their first encounter.
This was sowhat illogical.
Elder Tianxuan recalled the past; her powerful Divine Origin Cultivation allowed her to rember everything vividly, even capable of reversing events just like the Karma Collection.
Then, she spotted a blind spot.
"The only possibility for Jiang Li’s trust could be from the conversations between Qingyue and myself he overheard while contemplating the properties of hundreds of herbs..."
Elder Tianxuan smiled, "Unexpected, and anticipation-inducing."
Unexpected was Jiang Li’s ability to perceive the outside world in that situation and even keep it from her.
What was to be anticipated was naturally the clash between the two disciples.
From the current situation, it seed Gongsun Qingyue was bound to lose, but her performance was still sothing to look forward to. If she were to intervene a few tis...
It was starting to get interesting.
Thinking of that scenario even lightened her anxiety about the current situation.
...
...
Tianshu Palace.
Yun Jiuye stood behind the grand hall situated on a cliff, leaning against the railing, rubbing his eyebrows wearily.
Behind him, Ling Wujue tily asked, "Senior brother, did you find anything?"
"Jiang Li is protected by the Jiang family’s fortune and has a unique fate; now he has also beco Elder Tianxuan’s disciple. It’s difficult to plot against him," Yun Jiuye shook his head, "I first used the Eight Gate Odd Numbers to calculate his fate but failed; then I switched to Nine Star Escaping Armor, still couldn’t achieve clarity. Even asking you to fetch the Sect’s recorded birth data to divine his life with the Twin Star Divine Evil made no difference."
At that, Yun Jiuye showed a puzzled expression, "It’s not only his unusual fate; his life path is bizarrely complex and shrouded in dense fog, unclear."
In summary, it could be described in four words—indiscernible.
With soone like him helping Gongsun Qingyue, her level of difficulty has increased more than just a notch.
"Fortunately, I acted first, settling a grievance of the Jiang’s branch family. Unless Jiang Li wants to abandon this power, he will have to deal with the matters of the Jiang’s branch family soon," Yun Jiuye continued, "The Jiang’s branch family, although in decline, is still mightier than a living horse. If they could gather once more, it would certainly be a significant force, which Jiang Li would definitely not give up."
"Is it necessary to..." Ling Wujue gestured with a bandit-like character across his neck.
Leaving the house was a great opportunity for Jiang Li.
"Do not ntion such matters again!" Yun Jiuye sternly said, "Although we True Inheritors compete, we confront each other without breaking, to think of harming our Sect mbers is out of the question!"
And do you think Elder Tianxuan is vegetarian? Attacking her Disciple covertly?
These words were not spoken by Yun Jiuye, but his gaze implied that aning.
"Should we just stall Jiang Li then?" Ling Wujue expressed dissatisfaction.
"Stalling him is enough," Yun Jiuye was unflustered, "Jiang Li’s Realm is slightly weaker now. Delaying him will slow his advancent. Normally, a delay would be minor, but at present... a storm is approaching."
Six experts represent the world’s order; losing one signifies turbulent tis—no telling how many could take advantage of the situation.
The Emperor of Dazhou was alive, but those turbulent currents were already present. Many eyed the Divine Capital, awaiting the outco and the arrival of opportunities.
Although Yun Jiuye didn’t aim to turn the world upside down, he too spotted so opportunities. Should he establish great accomplishnts during this upheaval, the position of Junior Sect Leader would be secured.
"Yes."
Although Ling Wujue felt disgruntled, he recognized the importance and agreed imdiately, no longer suggesting troubling Jiang Li.
...
On the other hand, Jiang Li was unaware his beloved senior brother had ordered not to trouble him; he returned to his quarters and flipped through the Karma Collection, analyzing every word and sentence.
Assessing whether his actions were inappropriate, his words faulty, and if Elder Tianxuan’s behavior possibly concealed so ulterior motive.
His intensity of study rivaled that of compilers of textbooks on Mr. Lu Xun from his previous life.
Unexpectedly, this analysis led Jiang Li to so discoveries.
"I exhibited excessive trust which might make the Old Demon suspicious, but it’s not necessarily bad."
If discovered, the embarrassnt wouldn’t fall on Elder Tianxuan, but on Gongsun Qingyue. With his master’s temperant, he might enjoy the spectacle.
Moreover, sensing Jiang Li’s trust in them, Elder Tianxuan would also reciprocate.
Thus, mutual trust was gradually established, making the ntor-disciple relationship increasingly harmonious—a joyous occasion indeed.
An unintentional act yielded unexpected results, sowhat surprising Jiang Li and inspiring new thoughts.
Tonight’s gains were considerable—not just the teachings of the Yinglong Transformation, but also the many talismans benefited Jiang greatly. Having a master truly made a difference, especially one who was a Fourth-Grade Expert.
Just one night made Jiang Li regret not having apprenticed earlier.
Thus—
He would go again tomorrow night!
If the ntor-disciple trust was really established, frequent one-on-one sessions were undoubtedly best; Jiang Li planned to visit his master’s chambers again tomorrow night for another lesson and to deepen their bond.
Then ti hurriedly passed, and quietly, the next day arrived.
The next morning, having not slept all night, Jiang Li took a Replenishing Essence Pill, planning to greet his master and schedule tonight’s lesson.
But as soon as he stepped out, a female Disciple ca to report that soone was looking for him outside the hall.
