The little beggar suddenly came back to life, looking at the sect leader with bright eyes.

To Mu Yaoyao's surprise, she saw that the veins on the little beggar's body began to show strands of blue light.

The blue halos wrapped around his body, making him look like he was surrounded by a cloud.

The original expression of unbearable pain disappeared completely, and instead, spiritual energy entered the body...

Obviously, when Mu Yaoyao noticed this, the little beggar himself also noticed it.

The chilly air entered his body, making him feel extremely confused.

He looked at the strange changes in his body, lowered his head and scanned the surroundings, and said in confusion: "What is this on my body...? Why does it feel so weird..."

The sect leader chuckled and said, "This means you've begun to absorb the spiritual energy within the holy water. Child, congratulations on having completely survived the pain of marrow cleansing."

"The pain of marrow cleansing?"

The little beggar looked confused and didn't understand at all.

Mu Yaoyao didn't understand either.

"This...this is impossible, Sect Master. He was in so much pain just now, how could he have easily survived the pain of marrow cleansing now?"

"The rest of us... who hasn't endured days and nights of agony, unable to sleep at night? But this child..."

Hearing Mu Yaoyao's words, the sect leader showed a look of approval on his face.

She patted Mu Yaoyao's shoulder.

"Although you are a little eager for quick success, I have to say that you have a good eye. You are a genius that only appears once in a century."

"Although he is not as good as Mingchuan, if he is trained more in the future and is well nurtured with the secret treasures of the sect, he will surely soar to the sky."

"This... How is this possible!?" Mu Yaoyao was extremely surprised.

Although she discovered that this child was different, she really didn't expect it to be so different...!

What a bizarre incident...!

He is just an ordinary person!

The sect leader looked at Mu Yaoyao's surprised expression and didn't pay much attention to her.

She walked to the little beggar and tapped the confused little beggar between his eyebrows.

Strands of cool air flowed from the sect leader's fingertips into the little beggar's eyebrows.

The little beggar closed his eyes, and all of a sudden all kinds of things flooded into his mind.

This knowledge made him act subconsciously, and he immersed himself in the holy water and meditated.

Soon, she stopped staring at them with those innocent and clear eyes.

Seeing the little beggar's appearance, the sect leader stepped forward and pulled Mu Yaoyao out.

"You come with me."

Mu Yaoyao followed in a daze, and the two of them quickly left the holy water area and arrived at a quiet bamboo forest.

The light from the night sky above descended, and the strands of cold moonlight made people feel not at peace at all, but rather a little flustered and uncertain.

Mu Yaoyao frowned and was pulled by the sect leader to sit in a quiet seat.

"metropolitan……"

The Sect Master looked at Mu Yaoyao's anxious expression and explained, "Don't worry, I've already taught the child some things. The rest is up to the child to work hard according to the knowledge in his mind."

"You did a great job this time and picked out a good seedling."

"But, Yaoyao..."

The clan leader paused here.

Mu Yaoyao's heart suddenly jumped up.

Her eyes flickered twice, and she blinked and asked, "What...what happened?"

The Sect Master looked at Mu Yaoyao and sighed with regret: "You are too anxious now, child. You think of yourself as a tight string. Something could happen at any time."

"Why don't you just relax and stop being so nervous, okay?"

"I...?" Mu Yaoyao touched her face.

The sect leader's worried expression was reflected in her pupils. She herself fell into suspicion and frowned slightly.

"But...but I don't feel like I'm...I just feel like if I don't hurry up and try to recover some of the losses for the sect, I'll feel bad..."

The sect leader touched Mu Yaoyao's head with heartache.

"Kid, you need to learn to relax and stop pushing yourself. We'll take care of the sect's affairs."

"The gifts we gave Mingchuan didn't empty the sect's pockets."

"As long as we can give it out, we will naturally know what we are doing."

"You just need to take it step by step and we will definitely surpass Mingchuan."

After the sect leader said this, Mu Yaoyao's face turned even paler.

His whole face fell down.

Surpass Mingchuan?

Isn't that a joke?

What has Mingchuan become now? Can they surpass him just by saying so?

Mu Yaoyao's face looked unhappy, and the sect leader understood her.

She stood up again and spoke to Mu Yaoyao earnestly.

"That's all I have to say, kid. You need to relax yourself from now on. You can leave it to me."

"No!" Mu Yaoyao stood up quickly and said anxiously, "The child's condition is still unclear. How can we let you, the Sect Master, get involved?"

The Sect Master only glanced at her and said mercilessly: "Because you are not in the right state now, you will not only fail to cultivate a good genius, but you may also bury the genius."

Burying the genius...

These four words resounded like a thunderclap in Mu Yaoyao's heart.

Mu Yaoyao's face looked grim, her body swayed uncontrollably twice, and she staggered backwards.

The sect leader caught a glimpse of her appearance and felt sorry for her, but he did not give in at all.

Seeing this, Mu Yaoyao understood.

She lowered her head in despair, nodded twice obediently, and took a deep breath.

"I understand... I'm sorry, Sect Master. It's my disciple who has the problem... Don't worry, I will definitely adjust myself and will never let you down..."

Mu Yaoyao said this, then turned around and left in a daze.

Looking at her departing back, the sect leader felt bad.

Seeing that Mu Yaoyao was getting farther away, she sighed softly and shook her head, with a hint of bitterness on the corner of her mouth.

"A sect's prodigy encounters a rare, once-in-a-million-years genius among independent cultivators... If I were her age, my heart would be shattered, and I would completely lose faith in myself... and fall into a painful struggle..."

"Yaoyao, I hope you can understand my good intentions and not let yourself fall into the abyss, unable to climb up..."

"At least, rest more, so you don't go crazy..."

After the sect leader said these last words, he endured the pain in his heart and walked back to where the little beggar was soaking in the holy water.

She stood behind the little beggar, watching the painful expression on his face as he felt the changes in his body. She couldn't help but reach out and gently massaged the little beggar's back a few times...

Soon, the spiritual energy within the sect leader began to guide the little beggar's practice like a guiding banner...
