After rebirth, the eldest sister voluntarily abdicated and gave way to the wise.

Everyone in Qimingzhai fell silent again.

Then an uproar broke out and the incident exploded immediately.

"Who is this person? Is he an elder? Or the peak master?"

"I don't know. Senior Sister never said anything like that..."

“Such a young elder!”

"You are truly ignorant. He is the abbot of Qimingzhai, the one who taught us the basics. I've already inquired about it. He is the second most handsome man in the Tiangan Sect. His true age, cultivation level, and background are unknown, but, apart from the Sect Leader, he is the most handsome!"

"You really are a flower maniac. Yesterday you were pestering me about how handsome the Sect Leader was."

"But I'm telling the truth..."

"Don't say these useless things. That's ten laps, ten laps! I climbed up this morning and I still haven't recovered. I really can't run anymore!"

"Me too, me too, woooo..."

Someone bravely stepped forward and asked, "Um... those of us on the second floor, do we need to run together?"

The person who came was tall and graceful. She smiled softly, her voice like the tinkling of a spring: "Aren't you the new disciples who came this year?"

The air was silent, and suddenly there was another wailing!

But there was no way out. No one dared to disobey Master Zhai’s order. Everyone pushed and shoved, made a lot of noise, and walked outside, ready to run laps together.

Only Jiang Liqian was an exception, still dozing on the table, while Huanying was reading a book seriously.

The moon-white gown fluttered, gently brushed by a little spring breeze, and slender fingers easily passed through the barrier opened by the golden circle and knocked on her desk.

"Why, you're not going?"

The voice is very young and nice.

But Jiang Liqian knew that he was already an old monster over a thousand years old, with unfathomable cultivation level. He could kill people without even blinking an eye.

Although she felt that the things invented by the eldest brother were indeed junk, on the surface she quickly put away the "treasure", stood up and bowed respectfully to Master Zhai.

"Disciple Jiang Liqian, greetings to Master Zhai."

Jiang Yueming raised his eyebrows slightly, with a hint of interest in his eyes.

"Are you Jiang Liqian?"

"Yes."

"I heard that your spiritual roots are of the highest quality..."

Jiang Liqian lowered her head and said nothing.

Jiang Yueming looked down at her and then smiled meaningfully: "It seems that Chongdao is very indulgent towards you."

Jiang Liqian's body stiffened.

However, Jiang Yueming did not continue. Instead, he changed the subject and slowly sat down behind the table above: "You don't have to run away, but you have to live here for a year. I will personally guide you in your cultivation. I believe that within a month, you will be transformed."

Jiang Liqian pursed her lips, the doubts of two lifetimes combined together, and she couldn't help but boldly ask him: "Disciple dares to ask Master Zhai, why... do you treat me so differently?"

Whether in the past life or this life, he would pay special attention to her. He was obviously a man of his word, and he didn't even get angry when she deliberately didn't run laps.

why?

Jiang Yueming summoned a fan, tapped his palm lightly, glanced lazily at Jiang Liqian's face, and then slowly put it away.

"Is this question difficult to figure out?" He smiled nonchalantly, "Because your spiritual roots are better than theirs, you need to hone them more."

Jiang Liqian was stunned: "Just because of this?"

"if not?"

Jiang Liqian was silent.

She didn't believe that this old monster was someone who valued talent.

"My disciple is foolish, so I will run out right away."

What a joke! She would stay away from him as much as possible in this life and would not rush to torture him.

Jiang Yueming was not surprised by her choice.

He could see from her eyes that she was not someone that could be trapped in a circle or a cage.

Well... let's call him a "person", a person who is as sharp as a sword, but covered with spots of rust.

Very interesting little girl.

Jiang Liqian got goosebumps all over her body when he looked at her. She quickly stood up and strode out of Qimingzhai.

The disciples outside had already run away, so she was not in a hurry and walked down the mountain path leisurely.

Anyway, she knows all the paths in Qiming Mountain well. She can just take a shortcut and run ten laps. Even if Master Zhai uses his spiritual sense to stare at her, he can't say anything to her. After all, he didn't set a fixed running line, right?

Besides, running is for physical fitness. For someone like her who is about to be devoured by her inner demons, what's the point of doing that? It would only bring suffering to herself.

After being reborn, she has to relax for once.

Thinking of this, Jiang Liqian looked around and saw that there was no one around, so she stopped pretending and groped in her storage bag, and took out another "treasure" that the senior brother had stuffed into her hand.

She still remembered that when the eldest brother stuffed this thing into her hands, his eyes were full of brilliance.

"Junior Sister, I'm not bragging, but with this thing, you'll definitely be the most beautiful sight in Qimingzhai. Everyone will be envious of you for having an all-powerful senior brother like me!"

"What is this used for?"

"Hehe, just for being lazy."

"..."

"I'll tell you a secret, little Junior Sister. The head monk of Qimingzhai is a sly old fox who loves to torture people to death. He's even more sinister than your Second Senior Brother. Anyone from our Tiangan Sect who enters the sect has to be beaten up by him first! If you want to live a comfortable life in Qimingzhai, you have to rely on him. Hehe, I named him 'Penumbra'!"

"When you go to Qimingzhai, you must test this on me, Senior Brother, to see how it turns out. This took me three years of hard work to create!"

"Big Brother, what if I'm accidentally caught by Master Zhai?"

"This... Hehe, little Junior Sister, you are young, and Master loves you very much. He will definitely rescue you from that old monster."

"But the eldest brother is the one with thick skin and strong muscles..."

"Junior Sister, please, help Senior Brother with this!"

Thinking of the pitiful and pleading look in the eyes of the eldest brother, and then thinking of how the eldest brother stuffed a bunch of treasures he invented into her head before she came to Qimingzhai, she sighed in her heart.

Whatever, he is the eldest brother after all...

Jiang Liqian looked down at the gray round bead in her palm. She couldn't tell what material it was made of for a moment, but with her eyesight, she could feel that the bead was unusual.

The bead was so black that one couldn't see the bottom. In a trance, it seemed as if there were golden threads flowing inside. Sunlight couldn't penetrate, but it didn't look cold and gloomy.

"Junior Sister, you haven't yet drawn Qi into your body, so you can't use spiritual power. This is the Lingxi Talisman. When the time comes, stick it on the bead. Then hang it around your neck, and you'll become invisible like a stream of transparent water. Others will only be able to see through you to the scene behind you."

"Don't underestimate this bead. It's the only one in the world, but I went to great lengths to acquire the materials. It's different from the Concealment Talisman."
