“It’s been a hard journey.”

Song Siyao gently lifted Luo Qing's arm.

Luo Qing stood up.

Song Siyao looked Luo Qing up and down and smiled slightly, "My Qing'er is getting more and more beautiful."

"Master, you're teasing your disciple again." Luo Qing smiled, a hint of shyness in her eyes, captivating all who beheld her.

In an instant, the entire Hundred Flowers Garden fell into a deathly silence.

All eyes were on Luo Qing.

It turns out that Luo Qing, who is aloof, cold, and detached from worldly affairs, can actually smile.

Everyone knows why she doesn't like to smile: it's because her smile is captivating.

In this world, only Luo Qing can rival Song Siyao in beauty.

She is Song Siyao's sixth apprentice.

More shocking than Luo Qing's beauty was her identity.

The pinnacle of calligraphy is actually Song Siyao's apprentice. So, what kind of person is Song Siyao?

Just now, Jiang Yu was saying that Song Siyao cheated and plagiarized. The master of the top of the calligraphy world, who in the entire calligraphy world is qualified to let her plagiarize?

"Master Luo, you... you said she is your master?"

Jiang Yu stood beside Luo Qing, her voice trembling, her words stuttering, her face filled with disbelief.

"Do you think I would randomly recognize a master?" The smile on Luo Qing's face had vanished completely, replaced by her previous cold and ruthless demeanor.

“Of course Master Luo wouldn’t…” Jiang Yu’s voice was clearly lacking in confidence.

"Master Luo, is Princess Youfeng really your master?" Guo Fen stepped forward and asked, attempting to resolve the conflict between Jiang Yu and Song Siyao.

"Otherwise what?" Luo Qing retorted.

"Your master is a princess? How come I've never heard you mention that?" Guo Fen asked, her face full of doubt.

"Do I need to bring this up with you?" Luo Qing asked coldly.

Guo Fen's smile was more like a grimace. "Of course, there's no need for that."

She is not as famous as Luo Qing.

But she had a remarkable apprentice.

Little did she know, Luo Qing had an even more extraordinary master.

That was Princess Youfeng, renowned throughout the land, a young general who once caused a sensation, and the most favored person in front of Emperor Changlong. Especially in the Anzhou area, she was practically a god-like figure.

Such a Song Siyao is unique in all of China.

She can't compare to Luo Qing.

“Mr. Song, so you are Master Qi? Why didn’t you say so earlier? This would have avoided such a big misunderstanding,” Yang Qian said.

"Are you blaming me?" Song Si raised an eyebrow.

Yang Qian quickly waved his hand, "No, no, I meant that Mr. Song has been wronged."

"Headmaster Yang, your head is meant for thinking, not for following the crowd and echoing what others say. You lack even basic critical thinking and judgment. With an headmaster like you, the academy wouldn't have a teacher like Jiang Yu." Song Siyao's tone was cold and stern, naming names without any mercy.

Yang Qian smiled obsequiously, "Yes, yes, Princess Youfeng is right to reprimand me."

“Mr. Song, what do you mean by that? I didn’t do it on purpose. It was you who didn’t identify yourself. Your handwriting is exactly the same as Master Qi’s. I did it to protect Master Qi’s and the academy’s reputation.”

Jiang Yu said confidently, "I'd like to ask you, what were your intentions when you concealed your identity, watched everyone make a fool of themselves, and just stood there watching the show?"

"Are you teaching me how to do things?" Song Siyao asked coldly.

"I'm just stating the facts. Even if you use your princess status to pressure me, I'm not afraid." Jiang Yu stood up straight, looking fearless and uncompromising.

"I have more than one identity as a princess." Song Siyao's voice was icy, and in an instant, the surroundings seemed to be frozen by frost, making people shiver involuntarily.

Jiang felt a bad premonition welling up in her heart.

Song Siyao's voice continued, "I just said that Qi Ran would blacklist you, and I mean it. From now on, wherever I, Song Siyao, am, you, Jiang Yu, will have nowhere to hide, including the art world, the calligraphy world, and the medical world, but not limited to these three worlds!"

Jiang Yu was shocked. She had completely forgotten that Song Siyao was not only a pen spirit, but also a painting god and a doctor.

She will never get involved in medicine in her life.

Calligraphy and painting are what she likes and is good at. She also knows a little about other things such as playing the zither, chess, and embroidery, but she is not particularly good at any of them.

Song Siyao's ban on her two areas of expertise means that from now on, her calligraphy and paintings will no longer be recognized, and she will have no status in the world of calligraphy and painting.

For someone as self-righteous as her, who believes she can make a living based on her talent, such punishment is tantamount to cutting off her path to survival and putting her to death.

How could she accept that?

At this point, Jiang Yu had not yet fully grasped what Song Siyao meant by including the Three Realms, but not being limited to them.

If she knew that Song Siyao was going to blacklist her from the entire world, making it impossible for her to move an inch, she would probably go crazy on the spot.

"Princess Youfeng, you've gone too far!" Jiang Yu exclaimed angrily.

Guo Fen, of course, also wanted to help Jiang Yu. "Princess Youfeng, this matter is just a misunderstanding. Talking about banning or not banning is too serious. Why not just apologize and let this matter pass?"

After she finished speaking, she looked at Luo Qing and said, "Master Luo, I have always respected you. Please plead with your master for her. The ban is really too severe."

"She framed my master first. Her respect for me is worthless compared to my master's." Luo Qing's words were sharp and deadly.

Guo Fen felt somewhat embarrassed when she realized that her pride was not working in front of Luo Qing.

But she is Jiang Yu's master.

She had to protect Jiang Yu.

Otherwise, she, as the master, wouldn't know where to put her face.

“Princess Youfeng, Jiang Yu is my disciple. She made a mistake today, which is my fault as her master for not teaching her properly. I will take responsibility for this mistake.”

After Guo Fen finished speaking, she was about to kneel down to Song Siyao.

Song Siyao quickly dodged, her eyes turning icy cold. "This has nothing to do with you!"

Seeing that Song Siyao wouldn't accept her greeting, Guo Fen turned around and continued to plead with Song Siyao, "Princess Youfeng..."

Luo Qing stood in front of Guo Fen, saying, "Guo Fen, you'd better not get involved in this!"

Guo Fen looked troubled; she was caught in a dilemma and didn't know what to do.

"One must take responsibility for one's own actions! Princess Youfeng, please don't make things difficult for my master." Jiang Yu raised her voice, looking as if she were about to bravely face death.

She seemed to have forgotten that she was the one who started this whole mess.

“I didn’t make things difficult for your master, I made things difficult for you,” Song Siyao said.

Her words left Jiang feeling suffocated.

Jiang Yu felt as if something was blocking his throat, and he couldn't utter a single word.

She stood there, her face ashen.

She is still alive, but it's no different from being dead.

Her life was essentially ruined; the path of relying on talent to climb to the top was no longer viable.

The ban that Song Siyao mentioned is not subject to the law, and even if Jiang Yu goes to the authorities to file a complaint, it will be useless.

Such punishment is the most terrifying and despairing.
