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

Jiang Shiliu was venting to the system, her words pouring out like a machine gun, when suddenly an irresistible drowsiness overwhelmed her, instantly plunging her into a deep sleep. This sleep felt like falling into a bottomless abyss, time seemingly frozen in place.

After an unknown amount of time, Jiang Shiliu was finally awakened by a soft yet urgent call. The voice came from her beloved master, as warm as a spring breeze, but at this moment it made her feel somewhat irritated and helpless.

Jiang Shili rubbed her sleepy eyes, trying hard to make out her surroundings. Unfortunately, she had neither a phone to check the time nor a watch to tell her the exact hour or minute. She could only guess the time from the still pitch-black sky outside the window.

Gazing at the dark sky, Jiang Shiliu muttered to herself, "Judging by this, it's still not dawn. It shouldn't be six in the morning yet, right? Ugh, this is so annoying! Back in my original world when I was in school, I never had to get up this early! Except during the stressful and busy senior year of high school. But now that I'm in this cultivation world, why can't I escape the fate of waking up early?" Thinking this, Jiang Shiliu couldn't help but mentally rant and rave.

"Little Shiliu, get up quickly! You need to finish your breakfast first. Then, hurry up and find your Senior Sister Yunyu to teach you the techniques and methods of writing talismans. Remember, you need to stay for a full two hours. After two hours, return to Tianyan Peak and find your Senior Sister Qingyan to practice swordsmanship with her. That will also take about two hours. After practicing swordsmanship, go to the dining hall to have lunch, and then rest for a while. In the afternoon, go find your Third Senior Brother to learn alchemy from him, which will also take two hours. Finally, naturally, I will personally teach you about formations. Do you understand all of this?" Yun Che didn't even notice whether Jiang Shiliu understood what he was saying; he just kept rattling off everything. Unbeknownst to him, Jiang Shiliu was completely stunned after he finished speaking his long list of arrangements, as if her soul had instantly left her body.

Jiang Shiliu stared wide-eyed, her mouth agape, her face filled with astonishment. It took her a while to recover. Then, in a pitiful, almost pleading tone, she said to Yun Che, "Master, could you please reduce the number of lessons I'm given? With so much to learn, I'm afraid I'll be exhausted."

Yun Che's handsome face was now covered with frost. He frowned and said seriously, "Absolutely not! You are currently at a crucial stage in your cultivation journey. You must solidify your foundation. Besides, these are essential skills for becoming an outstanding cultivator!"

Upon hearing this, Jiang Shiliu couldn't help but show a hint of helplessness. She sighed softly, thinking to herself, "Oh well, it seems there's no escaping it this time. I guess I'll just have to accept my fate." She bit her red lips lightly, as if making a huge decision, and resolutely declared that she would devote herself wholeheartedly to her studies according to Yun Che's arrangements. After all, deep down, she truly didn't want to disappoint her beloved master. And so, Jiang Shiliu took a deep breath, rallied her spirits, and began her busy yet incredibly fulfilling new day.

Just then, Yun Che suddenly spoke up, "Oh, right, this is the sword you'll need later. Although it's not exactly a peerless divine weapon, it's more than enough for a novice disciple like you who's just entered the path of cultivation to handle your daily training needs." As he spoke, Yun Che miraculously pulled out a gleaming sword from somewhere and handed it to Jiang Shiliu.

Jiang Shiliu looked at the longsword before her, and hesitantly took it with both hands. In her heart, she couldn't help but groan: "My dear master, can't you use your brain for a moment? With my meager strength, how can I easily lift such a heavy thing?! Besides, I'm probably not even as tall as this sword!"
