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

Jiang Shiliu sat quietly to the side, her gaze fixed on the two people interacting. An indescribable feeling welled up within her. It was as if a highly respected elder was sternly reprimanding another equally respected elder. Yet, this shouldn't be! These two looked so young and vibrant, in the prime of their lives. Their faces were exquisitely crafted, like meticulously sculpted works of art, breathtakingly beautiful.

At the same time, the system keenly sensed Jiang Shiliu's innermost thoughts, but it hesitated whether to tell its master—the high and mighty supreme god. After all, it was a system with extremely high intelligence! If it were to report directly to Jiang Moqi that its host actually thought he was old, who knew if its proud supreme god would be so angry that he would secretly shed tears? Definitely! With his seemingly strong but actually sensitive nature, he absolutely couldn't withstand such a "blow"! He might even act like a child, hiding in some corner to grieve in secret! Thinking of this, the system couldn't help but shudder and decided that it was better to remain silent for the time being.

However, this little incident did not have a significant impact on their dinner enjoyment. After all, as the saying goes, "Man is made of iron, food is made of steel, and you'll get hungry if you skip a meal!" For hungry people, with delicious food in front of them, everything else can be put aside for the time being.

But just as they sat around the table, enjoying a sumptuous dinner in a harmonious atmosphere, an unexpected situation occurred. The disguise pill Jiang Shiliu had ingested began to lose its effect, and her originally ordinary face gradually revealed her true appearance. Gu Ming, who was concentrating on picking up food, suddenly sensed something was wrong. His hand froze in mid-air as if under a spell, and his eyes widened in shock, as if they were about to pop out of their sockets.

Although Jiang Moqi had previously mentioned to him that the person in front of him named Jiang Limou was not actually a man, but a spirited girl with outstanding looks, Gu Ming had assumed that Jiang Moqi was just making things up because she was in love and saw everyone as a beauty. But now, witnessing this astonishing change with his own eyes, he realized how wrong he had been.

He had to admit that the woman before him was indeed exceptionally beautiful. The heroic spirit emanating from her eyes was like a drawn sword, sharp yet graceful; beneath her high, straight nose, her lips were slightly upturned, revealing a hint of stubbornness and confidence. This unique aura and beautiful face complemented each other perfectly, captivating all who beheld her. No wonder Jiang Moqi had searched so diligently for so many years; it turned out he had found such a beauty.

"What's wrong? Is there something on my face? Why are you all staring at my face like that?!" Jiang Shiliu suddenly felt a burning gaze on her back, so she looked up at the two people opposite her and asked in confusion.

“Yes, there is indeed a little bit of it. Little Shiliu, didn’t you notice that the effects of your disguise pill have already dissipated?” Jiang Moqi put down his chopsticks, leisurely picked up the teacup beside him, and took a sip.

"What? Ah, well, I didn't mean to disguise myself to take the exam. This shouldn't affect my score, right?" Jiang Shiliu hurriedly explained.

"No, as long as you hold onto that ring engraved with the magic array, your score will remain, and no one else can possibly impersonate you," Gu Ming said calmly.

"This ring can actually recognize people?" Jiang Shiliu's eyes widened, her face full of disbelief. She was secretly amazed. What kind of unimaginable high-tech product was this?

"Sure! Little Shiliu, these rings were all personally enchanted by me. They have the wondrous ability to automatically recognize their owners. Even if you change your name or appearance in the future, it's simply wishful thinking for anyone else to use your rings to impersonate an alchemist." Jiang Moqi elegantly picked up his chopsticks, slowly and deliberately picked up a piece of tender and juicy meat, gently placed it in the bowl in front of him, and then slowly explained.

"This formation is so effective? Is it really that amazing?!" Although Jiang Shiliu was still reluctant to believe it, her eyes, filled with curiosity, had already betrayed her true thoughts.

"Of course, this ring is bound using your unique soul power, and it contains mysterious and unpredictable effects of the Heavenly Dao. If anyone dares to steal your ring, that despicable thief will surely be relentlessly hunted down by the Heavenly Dao." Jiang Moqi said, revealing a confident smile.

"The Heavenly Dao can actually hunt people down?" Jiang Shiliu couldn't help but gasp, feeling both astonished and puzzled by this incredible thing.

"Of course! Think about it, that heavenly lightning isn't something to be trifled with. For the supreme Heavenly Dao, unleashing a powerful bolt of lightning is as easy as eating a meal. So, those with ill intentions had better not covet this ring, or the consequences will be unimaginable!" Jiang Moqi shook his head slightly, his tone carrying a hint of warning.

Jiang Shiliu never expected that this rare scene of being relentlessly pursued by the Heavenly Dao would actually appear before her eyes in the near future, and in such a relentless and aggressive manner! However, what was both funny and sad was that she was not the thief who had angered the heavens and the people, but rather the unfortunate victim of the theft.

Time flew by, and in the blink of an eye, the three of them had devoured dinner. They tacitly decided to head home and get some rest, because tomorrow held a crucial sect competition. For Jiang Shiliu, this competition was of paramount importance; she had to give it her all. Actually, besides wanting to showcase her skills on the field, she also harbored a small expectation—to see firsthand what the villainous character from the original story, and the so-called "female protagonist" who was even more wicked than the villain, actually looked like.

Just then, Jiang Moqi, who had been silent all along, suddenly asked, "Little Shiliu, I heard that your sect is holding a grand competition tomorrow, right?"

Jiang Shiliu nodded slightly in affirmation, then asked with a hint of doubt, "Yes! What's wrong? Do you have a way to sneak into the stadium to watch the game?"

Jiang Moqi's lips curled into a confident smile as he explained with self-assurance, "Of course! You see, the mysterious little secret realm you'll be entering after this sect competition was first discovered by our Qiankun Pavilion. To ensure the safety of all of you sect disciples new to the martial world, our Qiankun Pavilion dispatched a large number of elite forces to be stationed there well in advance, and meticulously arranged comprehensive security measures, making it virtually foolproof. So, as a member of the Qiankun Pavilion, it's only natural that I can go in and watch the excitement!"

"Jiang Moqi, how many businesses do you own? I feel like your people are everywhere!" Jiang Shiliu stared at the composed Jiang Moqi with astonishment in her eyes, her expression unusually serious.

Jiang Moqi smiled slightly and said casually, "Not much. In the entire cultivation world, I only have a few hundred million properties in each place. But don't worry, you have the Qiankun Pavilion VIP card, right? With it, you won't have to worry about spending your spirit stones on food, clothing, and lodging in the future. Not only that, but if the person traveling with you also holds this card, they can enjoy the same discounts."

Hearing this, Jiang Shiliu was overjoyed, but quickly regained her composure and said, "Then I thank you on behalf of my senior brothers and sisters! Also, Jiang Moqi, if you come to watch the competition tomorrow, remember to wear your mask, and it would be best to cover your entire face completely!"

Upon hearing this, Jiang Moqi frowned slightly, a look of doubt on his face, and asked in return, "Why would you do this? Is it because I am too ugly to be seen by you?"

Jiang Shiliu was both amused and exasperated, waving her hands repeatedly to explain, "Oh dear, what are you talking about! It's not because of that at all! It's just that your face is too handsome and outstanding, attracting too much attention. I asked you to wear a mask entirely for the sake of our sect's disciples. Just think, what if they saw your unparalleled beauty and suddenly became beastly and lost their minds? Who would I be supposed to help then?"
