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

Jiang Shiliu's gaze was completely drawn to Feng Yichen, she was so captivated that she forgot where she was.

Just then, Mo Yuchen coughed lightly, which brought Jiang Shiliu back to her senses.

"Greetings, Sect Leader, Senior Uncle, and Junior Uncle." Mo Yuchen respectfully bowed to the three of them, then gently placed Jiang Shiliu, whom he was holding, on a chair beside him.

"Shi Liu, come and pay your respects to the sect leader, your senior uncles, and your junior masters," Yun Che said to Jiang Shi Liu with a smile.

Jiang Shiliu then came to her senses and quickly stood up, respectfully bowing to the sect leader and the others, saying, "Shiliu greets the sect leader, senior uncle, and junior master."

The moment Yun Yu saw Jiang Shiliu, the corners of her mouth turned up in a smile. After Jiang Shiliu finished her greetings, she immediately reached out and pulled Jiang Shiliu into her arms.

"She's really lost a lot of weight, Junior Brother Yun Che. Look at the way you take care of a child! With you, either the body gets injured or the soul is damaged. Let me take care of Xiao Shi Liu!" Yun Yu looked at Jiang Shi Liu's little face with heartache, but was complaining about her junior brother.

Before Yun Che could reply, Jiang Shiliu immediately began to defend her master like a mother hen protecting her chicks: "Uncle-Master, Master doesn't know why my soul was damaged. Moreover, if Master hadn't brought me back to the sect, I would probably be dead already."

After defending her master, Jiang Shiliu then raised another question: "Uncle-Master, although my soul is damaged, it seems that my cultivation has reached a bottleneck. No matter how I cultivate, I can't improve. Can you take a look at me?"

Yun Yu was completely stunned. She exchanged a glance with Yun Che and saw the certainty in his eyes. She asked directly, "Wow, our little Shi Liu is amazing! You're stuck in a bottleneck now?! What's your cultivation level now?"

"Reporting to my master, I heard from our master that I have already reached the Great Perfection of Qi Refining." Jiang Shiliu's voice was filled with excitement.

When Sect Leader Yun Ting first heard Jiang Shi Liu's protective words, his suspicions were instantly confirmed, and he became even more convinced that she was his junior brother's long-lost bloodline. However, when Jiang Shi Liu mentioned that her cultivation had reached a bottleneck, Sect Leader Yun Ting, like Yun Yu, fell into a brief state of confusion. His brows furrowed slightly, and his eyes revealed disbelief as he thought to himself: How is this possible?

It must be understood that it was Sect Leader Yun Ting who predicted that Jiang Shiliu's cultivation path would be fraught with hardship and would never be smooth sailing. But the current situation is completely contrary to his previous assessment, undoubtedly a slap in the face to him. His expression turned somewhat awkward, a complex mix of emotions welling up within him—regret for his misjudgment, and astonishment at Jiang Shiliu's astonishing progress.

Yun Yu looked at Jiang Shiliu with suspicion, her eyes fixed on her. Her tone was clearly questioning as she directly retorted, "Little Shiliu, you can't exaggerate! Think about it carefully. You've only been in the sect for less than three months, and you spent more than two months in a coma. Are you saying that you went from a complete novice in cultivation to the Great Perfection of Qi Refining in just one month? That's simply unbelievable!" Her voice unconsciously rose a few decibels, and her expression became very serious.

Jiang Shiliu felt a pang of grievance as she looked at Yun Yu's suspicious gaze. She turned to her master with a pitiful expression, her voice trembling slightly, and said, "Master, can I speak? Or perhaps you should speak to Uncle-Master and the others!" Tears welled in her eyes, as if she had been greatly misunderstood and wronged.

Seeing his little apprentice's aggrieved expression, Yun Che felt a pang of heartache, his tenderness overflowing. He quickly took out the small, rice-ball-like things from his spatial ring and gently comforted her, "It's alright, I'll talk to them later. Oh, by the way, I put away those little trinkets you left on the table in your room, here they are now. Go play with your second senior brother!" His eyes were full of tenderness and care as he gently patted Jiang Shiliu's shoulder.
