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

Yun Che, Jiang Shiliu, and Song Shiyue, each carrying delicious food, walked towards the table in the corner, chatting and laughing, and slowly sat down.

Just then, two figures appeared as swiftly as the wind. Upon closer inspection, it turned out to be Qingyan and Moyuchen. They arrived so quickly that one couldn't help but wonder if they had used spiritual power to accelerate their journey.

Once everyone was seated, Yun Che broke the silence, saying, "Alright, everyone from Tianyan Peak is finally here. Now that you've all returned safely, why not stay in the sect for a while longer? And while you're at it, help me properly instruct your junior sister. Her injuries have completely healed, and it's time for her to begin learning formations, talismans, alchemy, and swordsmanship!"

When Jiang Shiliu first heard her master mention that her senior brothers and sisters would be teaching her, she was instantly overjoyed, a bright smile spreading across her face. However, as she listened further and learned about the long list of things her master was about to teach, the delicious chicken leg she was chewing suddenly lost its flavor. At that moment, she felt a wave of pressure wash over her, and she inwardly groaned.

Qingyan and the others didn't dare to speak up for Jiang Shiliu, because they had gone through the same thing; it was a tradition of Tianyan Peak. They only had to learn two things at most, while their junior sister had to learn them all.

They could only silently light three incense sticks for Xiao Shiliu in their hearts: "May you have good fortune, junior sister."

Jiang Shiliu looked pitifully at her senior brothers and sisters, trying to seek some comfort from them. However, Qingyan and the others all turned their heads away, deliberately avoiding her gaze, clearly unable to help.

At this moment, Mo Yuchen smiled and said, "Junior Sister, don't worry. These skills may seem numerous, but as long as you study them diligently, you will definitely gain something. If you encounter any difficulties, we will do our best to help you."

Hearing this, Jiang Shiliu perked up slightly. She took a deep breath and made a silent vow that no matter how difficult the road ahead, she would strive to master every skill. After all, she didn't want to let down her master and her fellow disciples.

Before long, they finished their dinner and then set off together on their way back to Tianyan Peak. Along the way, a gentle breeze carried a hint of the night's chill.

Upon arriving at Tianyan Peak, Jiang Shiliu chose to stay in the side room next to Yun Che's. She thought to herself, "How can I keep my master's room to myself? This is really inappropriate!" Although she felt a little reluctant, she knew that such behavior was inappropriate.

You see, this is one of the most crucial scenes in the original book—the place where the two main characters' feelings gradually blossom! It was here that they confessed their feelings to each other and finally came together, embarking on their romantic love journey. Whenever Jiang Shiliu thinks of this place, a sweet ripple can't help but stir in her heart.

Jiang Shiliu lay lazily on the bed, her hands behind her head, muttering, "System, please tell me, when are my beloved master and his adorable junior brother going to confess their feelings to each other? I'm so eagerly waiting for my CP to give me some sweet dog food!" As she spoke, she blinked her bright eyes, her face full of anticipation.

The system's voice drifted over: "Judging from the current speed at which their relationship is developing, it will probably have to wait until you're seventeen or eighteen years old."

Hearing this, Jiang Shiliu deflated like a punctured balloon, collapsing onto the bed with a long, mournful sigh: "Ugh—why does it have to take so long! This is making me wait forever! And what's worse, I'm starting that super-terrifying, hellish training regimen tomorrow! Even though I'm undeniably incredibly smart, a true prodigy, I really don't want to suffer like that! I just want to lie here comfortably and quietly enjoy my favorite pairings! Why is fate so unfair…"
