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

"Master, may I learn some formation techniques from you?" Jiang Shiliu blinked her bright eyes, looking at Yun Che with anticipation. At this moment, she was standing in front of a pile of books, carefully flipping through them, but was surprised to find that there wasn't a single book related to formation techniques.

Yun Che was somewhat surprised to hear Jiang Shiliu's request, and he looked at her with a hint of doubt. To be honest, Yun Che had originally intended to teach her techniques such as formations, but he hadn't expected that his little apprentice would actually take the initiative to ask to learn formations. After all, Yun Che had always felt that with the heavy workload he had assigned to Jiang Shiliu, she was probably already tired of and resistant to it.

Among all his disciples, Jiang Shiliu bore the heaviest workload. Every day, she not only had to study various cultivation techniques and secret manuals, but also delve into alchemy, talisman making, and so on. However, Yun Che himself couldn't explain why he was so persistent in assigning Jiang Shiliu such a vast and complex array of cultivation skills. While part of the reason was indeed related to her damaged heart meridian, it seemed to stem more from a faint, almost imperceptible voice deep within him—as if constantly warning him: this little disciple must master a sufficient number of life-saving techniques.

The night before, while resting, Yun Che dreamt that Jiang Shiliu died repeatedly before his eyes in an attempt to save the world. In the final part of the dream, he tried to grab Jiang Shiliu's hand, but failed, and then Yun Che woke up with a start.

Yun Che couldn't imagine what a heartbreaking scene it would be if Jiang Shiliu were to tragically die before his eyes one day, and if such a tragedy were to repeat itself time and time again! Therefore, no matter what, he had to do everything he could to make Jiang Shiliu stronger, so that she would have enough ability to cope with the various dangers and challenges she might encounter in the future. Thinking of this, Yun Che nodded slightly and smiled at Jiang Shiliu, saying, "Alright, since you are interested in learning formations, I will naturally not refuse. However, the way of formations is not simple, so you must be prepared to endure hardship and toil!"

Jiang Shili patted her chest confidently and said, "There's definitely no problem! No matter how much suffering I have to endure, I'll learn the formation!"

Jiang Shiliu added in her mind, "Of course I have to learn it! I don't want to run around the sect on my own two legs every day. If I learn array formations, I can make a small teleportation array myself and go wherever I want!"

"Let's start with the most basic array materials and array principles." Yun Che led Jiang Shiliu to the study, took out an introductory book on arrays and handed it to her. "Study this book carefully, and feel free to ask me if you have any questions."

In the days that followed, Jiang Shiliu devoted herself to studying books on formations, in addition to completing her daily cultivation tasks. She gradually came to understand the basic structure and operating rules of formations, and even tried to practice setting up formations using some simple materials.

As time went on, Jiang Shiliu's array formation skills improved significantly. She was able to complete some simple array setups on her own, and her understanding of array formations became increasingly profound.

One day, Jiang Shiliu suddenly had a brilliant idea: she wanted to try making a teleportation array. She gathered various materials and began tinkering with them according to her own ideas. After many failures and adjustments, she finally succeeded in creating a small teleportation array!

Jiang Shiliu was thrilled; she couldn't wait to test if the teleportation array was truly effective. She stood in the center of the array and activated it...

Immediately afterwards, she flashed like lightning, rushing straight from the towering Tianyan Peak towards the residence of her senior uncle Yun Yu! In the blink of an eye, she arrived at the tightly closed door.

Just then, Yun Yu finished her busy day and was heading towards her room for a good rest. But as soon as she turned around, she bumped into Jiang Shiliu, who was rushing towards her. Their eyes met, and for a moment, they both froze, as if time had stood still, neither daring to break the silence.

After a moment, Jiang Shiliu was the first to come to her senses. She took a deep breath, forced a smile at Uncle Yunyu, and said timidly, "Hi! Uncle Yunyu, good evening. Have you eaten yet?" Her voice was as soft as a mosquito's buzz.

Yun Yu was slightly startled at first, but when she glanced down at the array shimmering with strange light beneath Jiang Shiliu's feet, she immediately understood. Needless to say, this mischievous little girl was tinkering with the teleportation array again. What she didn't expect was that this time she had actually succeeded. However, judging from the terrible landing spot, the teleportation array clearly had many areas for improvement!

"Little Shiliu, are you planning to launch a surprise attack on your senior uncle under the cover of darkness? Oh dear, what a pity! If you had come earlier, your senior uncle could have taken you to try that incredibly delicious restaurant down the mountain and enjoyed a sumptuous dinner!" Yun Yu teased Jiang Shiliu with a playful smile on his face.

Upon hearing this, Jiang Shiliu's originally fair face instantly turned bright red, like a ripe apple. She stammered, "Uncle-Master Yun Yu, please don't joke with me. I... this is the first time the teleportation array has been successfully tested, so I got a little too excited and that's why I rashly came to find you..." As she spoke, she lowered her head shyly, fidgeting with the hem of her clothes, looking quite adorable.

"But are you sure this is really a teleportation array?" Yun Yu frowned, looking at the array in front of her that was flashing with strange light and moving at an absurd speed with a face full of suspicion. She couldn't help but sigh and rub her forehead, "Why does it feel like it's in sprint mode? Xiao Shiliu, do you even understand what's going on?"

Upon hearing this, Jiang Shiliu was immediately furious. She pouted and retorted defiantly, "Uncle-Master Yunyu, don't underestimate me! I've put a lot of effort into studying this teleportation array. Although it seems to have a problem now, it's just a minor accident!"

Yun Yu shook her head helplessly, sighed, and said, "Sigh, you! I don't even know how many years you've been researching this teleportation array, and you still haven't come up with any reliable results. Why are you so stubborn?"

Jiang Shiliu's eyes widened, her hands on her hips, and she retorted righteously, "Senior Uncle, you can't discourage me like this! Look, my talisman-making, alchemy, and weapon-forging skills have all reached the superior or even top-grade levels! Even in cultivation, in just 10 years, I've already reached the Great Perfection of the Golden Core realm! Isn't all this the result of my hard work? Only my formation and swordsmanship are slightly lacking, can't you give me more encouragement and support?" By the end, her voice even carried a hint of a sob, as if she had suffered a great injustice.
