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

Jiang Shiliu's impatience stemmed from her limited swordsmanship. She could only manage a few elegant flourishes and exchange a few blows with others. As for the profound art of sword flight, she was far from proficient. If she were to fly down the mountain with the others and accidentally fall with a "plop," she would be utterly humiliated! Thinking of this, Jiang Shiliu blushed slightly and inwardly groaned.

To prevent such an embarrassing situation from occurring, Jiang Shiliu had already resolved to devote herself to studying flying magical artifacts two years ago. After all, within her sect, those who knew how to craft magical artifacts were extremely rare. Left with no other choice, Jiang Shiliu could only rely on her own strength to overcome this challenge.

Fortunately, Jiang Shiliu is exceptionally talented, a true all-rounder. She has a smattering of knowledge in almost every skill, and has mastered virtually every type of ability. Only now does she truly understand the painstaking cultivation and high expectations her master, Yun Che, had placed in her. It was precisely because of her master's strict demands and meticulous guidance that she possessed such a vast knowledge base and diverse skills.

How could Qingyan, Moyuchen, and Song Shiyue not see through Jiang Shiliu's inner concerns? They had watched Jiang Shiliu grow up, and their familiarity with her was deeply ingrained. Therefore, often just a simple glance was enough for them to understand each other's thoughts.

“Alright, let’s follow Junior Sister’s arrangement then. To be honest, I’ve never ridden in a flying magical artifact like this before!” Mo Yuchen said with a smile, nodding in agreement with Jiang Shiliu’s suggestion along with Song Shiyue.

Jiang Shiliu simply raised her hand and, in the blink of an eye, retrieved the magical artifact she had personally crafted from the mustard seed space contained within the jade pendant she wore at her waist. Surprisingly, however, this magical artifact appeared to be only slightly larger than a human face.

Faced with such a small and exquisite magical artifact, Qingyan, Moyuchen, and Song Shiyue couldn't help but show expressions of suspicion. They all turned their gazes to Jiang Shiliu, their expressions as if asking in unison, "Junior Sister, are you really sure that something this size can carry us flying? Do we have to shrink our bodies first and then put us inside?!"

Jiang Shiliu stared intently at the mysterious magical artifact in her hand, deciding to demonstrate its usage to everyone. She lightly raised her hand, tossing the seemingly ordinary object high into the air. Then, she chanted incantations, her hands swiftly forming a series of complex and exquisite hand seals. With a flash of magical light, the artifact, which had been hovering quietly in the air, was instantly enveloped in a dazzling aura.

With a whoosh, the fan-like magical artifact rapidly expanded, becoming enormous in the blink of an eye. Upon closer inspection, the fan surface was astonishingly wide; it could easily accommodate five or six people, let alone a single person standing on it. Even more astonishingly, once the artifact was fully unfolded, a transparent energy shield quietly appeared, resembling a sturdy fortress, completely enveloping the entire artifact.

This protective shield not only defends against external attacks and interference, but more importantly, it ensures the user's safety throughout flight, preventing a fall from great heights even in the event of momentary carelessness. However, its only drawback is that while the artifact excels in flight performance, the inscribed array on it is still somewhat immature and has not yet reached a state of perfection. Therefore, extreme caution is still required when using it to prevent unexpected situations.

"Let's go! Let's go have a big meal!" Song Shiyue waved his arms excitedly, shouting as happily as a child.

"Let's go, let's go!" Qingyan chimed in with a smile, her bright eyes sparkling with joy, as if a feast was already laid out before her.

At this moment, Mo Yuchen gracefully boarded the flying magic weapon, then turned around and smiled at Jiang Shiliu behind him, saying, "Junior Sister, let me tell you, I heard that the restaurant that Master booked is the place that serves that super delicious new dish you mentioned to me before!"

However, upon hearing this, Jiang Shiliu did not show any joy. Instead, she snorted coldly, her face full of anger, and said through gritted teeth, "Hmph, just thinking about this makes me angry! Which bastard leaked my ideas? If I find out, I will definitely make him taste my specially made Seven Poison Pill!" Her head was covered with black lines, and her expression looked terrifying.

Seeing this, Qingyan and Song Shiyue exchanged a glance, then subtly moved half a meter away from Jiang Shiliu. They knew that despite her seemingly innocent and harmless appearance, this junior sister was actually ruthless. If they accidentally angered her, they would suffer the consequences.

“Perhaps others have had the same idea long ago, but they have the financial resources to realize it, don’t you think?” Qingyan frowned slightly, looking at everyone, trying to calm Jiang Shiliu’s excited emotions with these words. She sighed softly and continued, “After all, the world is so big and full of wonders, maybe there really are people who have the same idea as us. They’re just luckier and able to put these ideas into practice.”

However, Jiang Shiliu disagreed with Qingyan's point of view. She stood up and retorted, "If it were just once or twice, that would be one thing, but it's impossible for it to be this accurate every time! And every time I express this idea, it comes true the very next day!!! I don't believe anyone shares a brain with me. Anyway, there's definitely something strange about it, I just haven't discovered it yet." As she spoke, Jiang Shiliu's eyes flashed with a mixture of anger and doubt, as if she wanted to see through the layers of fog to find the mysterious force hiding behind the scenes that was manipulating everything.

During their conversation, they successfully reached a small grove at the foot of the mountain. Jiang Shiliu and the others disembarked from their flying artifacts and began walking towards the town. There, they encountered a group of rogue cultivators robbing a mysterious masked man in a wheelchair.

Jiang Shiliu and her companions had initially resolved never to get involved in such complicated matters, lest they needlessly invite trouble. However, at that moment, the system's urgent voice suddenly rang in Jiang Shiliu's mind: "Host, you absolutely must save this person! He is a crucial character in this book, playing a decisive role in the development of the subsequent plot!"

Upon hearing this, Jiang Shiliu frowned and replied with a look of suspicion, "Really? I can't recall having such a character in the book at all! You're not just trying to fool me, are you?"

The system quickly explained, "It's absolutely true, Host! You've only read a small part of the beginning of this novel! This character is a crucial one who doesn't appear until the middle of the story. Just between you and me, this person has a powerful ability to restrain those despicable villains and heroines who forcibly intrude into the story! Therefore, you absolutely must save this person!!!"
