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

Suddenly, the system's voice rang in Jiang Shiliu's mind, explaining, "Host, this is a special mark of a personal disciple, indicating that Yun Che has officially accepted you as his disciple! Although the formal apprenticeship ceremony hasn't been held yet, your status as a personal disciple is already set in stone! Moreover, this mark is directly bound to your soul, and unless Yun Che cancels it himself, or you... well, in short, it's very difficult to remove!"

Hearing this, Jiang Shiliu finally felt relieved. Although she couldn't really act with impunity yet, at least she had a reliable backer, and she had earned it herself—that was fantastic! However, she still had to pretend she knew nothing, so she innocently asked Yun Che, "Uncle, what were you doing just now?"

Yun Che looked at Jiang Shiliu and explained with a smile, "This is the mark of a personal disciple, which means that I have officially accepted you as my disciple. It is witnessed by heaven and earth! So, can you call me Master now?"

"Master~" Jiang Shiliu immediately used all her coquettish skills and sweetly called out to her master.

"Alright, alright! You should rest for a bit. I'm going to take care of some things now, but I'll be back to keep you company later, okay?" When Yun Che heard the word "Master," he was overjoyed, his heart practically bursting with happiness.

"Okay, thank you, Master!" Jiang Shiliu nodded obediently, her bright eyes fixed on Yun Che.

However, this warm moment did not last long before it was ruthlessly interrupted by a series of extremely rapid explosions. "What happened? Master, where did the explosion happen?" Jiang Shiliu was startled by the sudden and huge roar, and looked at Yun Che with a blank and helpless expression.

"It's nothing serious. Want to go see what's going on? Your master will take you!" Yun Che appeared remarkably calm and spoke to Jiang Shiliu without any haste.

Jiang Shiliu thought to herself, "Why not watch the excitement? This is a fine part of Chinese traditional culture! We can't let this beautiful virtue be lost here!!!"

“Okay! Master~” Jiang Shiliu replied obediently to Yun Che.

Upon hearing his little disciple's answer, Yun Che immediately picked up Jiang Shiliu and began to leisurely walk down the mountain. He knew perfectly well who was behind this—it was none other than his Senior Sister Yun Yu! She definitely couldn't break the barrier, and she certainly couldn't take his little disciple away. Taking her along to provoke her would be good, and it would also help Junior Brother Feng Yichen vent his anger!

When Yun Che arrived at the foot of the mountain, he saw his senior sister panting heavily, which amused him. He thought to himself, "When will I ever see Senior Sister Yun Yu like this? I should really record it with a recording stone so that Junior Brother Feng Yichen can watch it repeatedly when he returns."

Outside the barrier stood a woman dressed in bright red, glaring at Yun Che with a dark expression. Her delicate features were almost contorted with rage. However, upon seeing Jiang Shiliu in Yun Che's arms, her demeanor instantly changed—like that of a child trafficker! Even the legendary face-changing technique couldn't change that quickly!!

"Junior Brother Yun Che! Just open the barrier! I really don't want to do anything bad. I just want to see the little baby you brought back. Besides, think about it carefully, do you even know how to take care of a child? You have absolutely no experience with this. Let me take care of her! I promise you, I will definitely raise her to be chubby and healthy!" Yun Yu said eagerly, her face full of anticipation.

"I don't believe you! Senior Sister, I'm not trying to be mean, but can't you change your story? You said the same thing to Senior Brother Sect Leader and Junior Brother Feng Yichen before. And what happened in the end? You know perfectly well how it turned out. Do I need to continue? Senior Sister Yun Yu~" Yun Che frowned, her face full of distrust.

"No, I didn't!! That's definitely not me! Junior Brother Yun Che, think about it carefully. How long has it been since our sect accepted any disciples? It must have been decades! And this time you brought back a little girl. How could a grown man like you possibly take care of a child? Let me, your senior sister, take care of her!" Yun Yu hurriedly defended herself, her eyes filled with anxiety.

"No way, don't even think about it! I've already bound her with the mark of a personal disciple, so give up on that idea! If you think you're strong enough to defeat me, then come and challenge me!" Yun Che's attitude was resolute, and his tone was forceful.

"Me! You!! You, Yun Che, I just wanted to come and see her, did you have to be so heartless? Besides, didn't you tell the sect leader that you would wait until she came of age before holding the apprenticeship ceremony? You're just kidding me! I don't believe you!!" Yun Yu stomped her feet in anger, her face full of rage.

"Master, who is this pretty lady? Are you arguing because of me?" Jiang Shiliu asked with her innocent big eyes.

"Xiao Shiliu, don't worry about her. She's my senior sister, but she's no good. She kidnaps children. Let's ignore her and go! Master will take you back to rest." Yun Che said gently to Jiang Shiliu, then turned to leave.

"Hey! Yun Che! My good junior brother, please open the barrier and let me in. I just want to take a look. I promise I won't steal it!" Yun Yu shouted, his voice pleading.

Yun Che chuckled softly, reaching out to gently stroke Jiang Shiliu's hair, a sly glint in his eyes: "Senior Sister, since you're so persistent, how about we make a bet? If you can undo the 'Mysterious Cloud Concealment Array' I set up within the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, I'll let you see her; otherwise, you'll need to complete a task for me, how about it?"

Upon hearing this, Yun Yu's eyes lit up, but she was still half-believing and half-doubting: "When did you become so easy to talk to? But I accept this bet! Hmph, how could a mere formation be difficult for me, Yun Yu?" After saying that, she flashed and instantly stood in front of the formation, her hands quickly forming seals, ready to show off her superb skills.

Yun Che leisurely picked up Jiang Shiliu, a mysterious smile playing on his lips, as if everything was within his expectations. This left Yun Yu anxiously waiting, gradually losing his way in the intricate and unpredictable array.
