Yue Jiu Nian watched as the servants began serving the dishes. In order to eat quickly, she said, "Because that's not an ordinary giant snake. It's the Teng Snake, an ancient divine beast. It's a good monster. Okay, if you don't know what a Teng Snake is, just search it online. Now, let's get ready to eat."

Jiang Hai was still not satisfied with this answer. He said, "Even if Tengshe is a good monster, it would never send you down the mountain. It would be fine if it didn't eat you. Why would it be so kind as to send you down the mountain?"

"Oh, it's just that it's so kind. I told it we wanted to go down the mountain and it gave us a ride. Okay, no more questions. Let's eat!"

Yue Jiu Nian didn't want to talk to them anymore; she just wanted to eat. She was afraid that if she continued talking, she would reveal more, so she chose to keep quiet.

Jiang Hai was clearly dissatisfied with the answer, but he could tell that Yue Jiu Nian was unwilling to say anything more, so he went to eat with everyone.

After dinner, Liu Zhan, that silly boy, kept pestering Yue Jiu Nian, saying he wanted to learn something from her: "Actually, I wanted to become your apprentice when we were on the mountain, but we weren't very familiar with each other back then, so I didn't say it. But now you're my cousin, so can you teach me?"

Yue Jiu Nian was watching anime on her phone. She didn't even glance at Liu Zhan and said expressionlessly, "Sorry, no, you should find someone else."

"Why?" Liu Zhan asked, puzzled. "I can give you money as tuition."

Yue Jiu Nian kept staring at her phone: "There are no so many whys, no means no."

Yue Jiu thought to herself: "Damn it, teach me what? How am I, a monster, supposed to teach you how to catch ghosts and exorcise demons? I don't even know how myself!"

Seeing that Liu Zhan was rejected by Yue Jiunian twice, Huang Ru felt sorry for her son. Although she also wanted Yue Jiunian to teach Liu Zhan something for self-defense, she couldn't force her if she didn't agree. She said, "Xiao Zhan, come here. Your cousin learned her skills by herself. She must have her reasons for not being able to teach you."

After she finished speaking, she said to Yue Jiu Nian, "By the way, Nian Nian, since you can't teach Xiao Zhan, could you help introduce him to a master? Actually, Auntie also wants Xiao Zhan to learn something."

Hearing this, Jiang Hai raised his hand and said, "Then I want to learn too. Niannian, you should recommend it to your second brother as well."

Liu Zhan looked at Yue Jiu Nian with an expectant gaze.

When Yue Jiu Nian heard their words, the corner of her mouth twitched involuntarily. She simply said in a serious tone, "No, I'm sorry, my master is a woman, and she only accepts female disciples."

"Well, okay then." Huang Ru looked a little disappointed. She turned to Liu Zhan and said, "Xiao Zhan, how about next time Mom takes you to find another master to learn from?"

Seeing Yue Jiu Nian's heartbroken expression, Liu Zhan nodded and said, "Alright, but I wonder if they can be as amazing as my cousin."

Huang Qing and Jiang Hu watched TV silently. Suddenly, Jiang Hu said to Yue Jiu Nian, "By the way, Nian Nian, you have to go back to school tomorrow. Your homeroom teacher said there's a small test, the last one before the college entrance exam."

Upon hearing about the exam, Yue Jiu Nian completely deflated. She nodded listlessly and said, "Okay, I understand."

Jiang Hai was leaning against Liu Zhan watching TV when he suddenly seemed to remember something and said, "Oh, I remember now, Xiao Zhan and Niannian are in the same school and grade, it's just a pity they're not in the same class."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Hu also remembered and said, "That's right, you two can study together. Xiao Zhan's grades are so good, Niannian, if you don't understand anything, just ask him. To be honest, Dad is quite worried about your grades since you haven't been to school for so long."

Yue Jiu Nian felt a mix of grief and indignation whenever she thought of those exam papers. She couldn't understand why she had come back to the Jiang family. She could have easily disappeared, but she chose to return.

She really didn't want to face these people anymore, so she nodded and said, "Okay, I'll go upstairs to read now."

As Liu Zhan watched her walk upstairs, he smiled and said from behind, "Cousin, if there's anything you don't understand, just ask me. I can teach you."

Yue Jiu Nian didn't want to turn around and look at his face at all, she just waved to the back and said, "Okay, I know."
