Everyone's all smiles on the surface but secretly cunning, but the junior sister only wants to

Jiang Shiliu slowly awoke from her sleep. In reality, she had returned to her body from the mysterious jade pendant space. Feigning ignorance, she quietly opened her eyes and, as expected, immediately saw her master staring at her with an unfathomable expression.

"Master, what's wrong with me? I feel like my body is filled with many small, round objects." Jiang Shiliu tilted her head slightly, her face full of innocent and pure expression, her clear eyes looking at Yun Che.

"How exactly did you learn about cultivation methods? Did your elders teach you? Or is there some other reason? Could it be that you have regained your past memories?" Yun Che asked solemnly, his expression serious, his gaze fixed on Jiang Shiliu.

"Master, I was just dragged to a completely unfamiliar place by a mysterious old man. He taught me!" Jiang Shiliu's heart tightened suddenly. She thought to herself that she absolutely could not tell her master that she had taught herself this skill, otherwise she would probably have no peace in the future. It would be best to use her master's ancestor as a shield for the time being!

Yun Che frowned, then asked, "Grandpa? Did he say anything to you?"

“Yes, he claimed to be your ancestor, Master. He asked if you already had a partner and when you could add to the family line. He even said he wanted to recognize me as his thirty-sixth generation descendant!” Jiang Shiliu answered with a hint of excitement.

Yun Che's expression turned extremely ugly upon hearing this. He couldn't recall any such ancestor in his family. He began to suspect that Jiang Shiliu might be controlled by some evil force, but looking at her innocent face, he couldn't believe it. "Did this ancestor say anything else?" Yun Che decided to test her further. Jiang Shiliu's eyes darted around, and she deliberately lowered her voice, saying, "The ancestor also said that if you don't teach me properly, you'll also experience the taste of being beaten~" After saying that, she playfully winked at Yun Che.

Veins bulged on Yun Che's forehead. He gritted his teeth, thinking that this little girl was becoming increasingly outrageous, daring to fabricate such a lie to fool him. But at the same time, he breathed a sigh of relief; at least for now, Jiang Shiliu wasn't under his control. "Hmph, stop talking nonsense! Don't mention this again!" Yun Che reprimanded her sternly. "Now that you've learned the cultivation method, you must work even harder in the future and never be lazy or slack off." "Yes, I will obey Master's teachings!" Jiang Shiliu replied obediently, secretly pleased with herself for having managed to deceive her master for the time being.

Actually, it's not entirely Yun Che's fault for not knowing about this ancestor's existence. After all, when Yun Che's ancestor ascended to heaven, he hadn't even formed a single cell yet! Not to mention Yun Che, even his parents weren't even born! Time flies, and thousands of years have passed in the blink of an eye. Yun Che's family had long since forgotten this ancestor in the annals of history. That's only natural; who can remember things from so far back?

Yun Che belongs to a small branch of the family, and he has virtually no say in it. Furthermore, due to his parents' marital problems, they had long been expelled from the family. Therefore, Yun Che's understanding of the family is extremely limited.

When Yun Che was very young, one day his father suddenly handed him a jade pendant, telling him it was a token for recognizing his ancestors and that it contained a trace of their spiritual power. Yun Che carefully kept it, always carrying it with him. However, as time passed and he experienced various trials, Yun Che gradually forgot about the jade pendant. If it weren't for Jiang Shiliu's heart meridian problem, which required finding a solution, he probably would never have remembered the importance of this jade pendant.

So why did Yun Che's ancestor know about him? The reason is simple: bloodline! Although Yun Che grew up in a branch family, his great-great-grandfather's generation was greatly favored. Moreover, that ancestor's cultivation had reached the True Immortal realm; finding other immortals to predict the situation of his descendants would be an easy task!

Meanwhile, taking advantage of her master's silence, Jiang Shiliu imitated the cultivation method taught by the system—a method even beginners could use—to try and assess her own cultivation level. Heavens! She had already reached the Great Perfection of Qi Refining! This cultivation speed was astonishing; if she continued at this pace, she would surely break through the seal soon!

Jiang Shiliu stood before her master, looking at him with expectant eyes, and asked softly, "Master, I have already started cultivating. What level have I reached? Can I learn weapon crafting?" Her voice was cautious, afraid of receiving a negative answer.

The master smiled slightly and replied gently, "Shi Liu, you are now a cultivator at the Great Perfection of Qi Refining, but your cultivation speed is truly astonishing, and your physique is also different from ordinary people. Therefore, I placed a small illusion spell on your dantian to prevent others from noticing or coveting it. Remember, if anyone asks about your cultivation level in the future, do not easily reveal the truth. As for why you want to learn weapon crafting, did that mysterious old man tell you that again?"

Jiang Shiliu nodded vigorously, her eyes sparkling with excitement, and said excitedly, "Yes, Master! That old man felt that we had a great affinity, so he gave me a complete guide to weapon crafting and told me that when I reach the Qi Refining stage, he would personally come to teach me the art of weapon crafting." Her words revealed her strong interest and desire for weapon crafting.
