The Third Prince hadn't expected that Duan Feibai, who had just been held in his grasp, would break free of his hold so easily in the blink of an eye.

Is he really that weak, even less so than his little sister?

"Get out of the way."

Ignoring the stunned Third Prince, Jing Le pushed him aside, took a step forward, and stood in front of the two of them to meet them.

This time, Jing Le deliberately let Duan Feibai off the hook and did not immediately take control of him, but intentionally guided the person behind him.

Let her understand the limits of control.

Because they were in a secluded courtyard where there were few people around, the fight went unnoticed.

The only two audience members besides the Third Prince and the Ninth Prince were present.

"Third brother, little sister Lele is amazing! She actually knows martial arts."

The Ninth Prince's eyes were full of envy. He also wanted to learn martial arts so that he could protect his sister and not be bullied.

"Look, Third Brother, your sister is flying..."

The Third Prince was stunned into silence. He had studied martial arts for over a decade, yet his strength was still inferior to that of a five-year-old child.

Now that her younger sister is fighting Duan Feibai and is clearly holding her own, it means Jing Le's strength is above Duan Feibai's, which means her sister is stronger than her!

In response to the Ninth Prince's astonishment, the Third Prince remained indifferent and calm: "Hmm, my sister flew up, and she even kicked Duan Feibai..."

Once Jing Le figured out the other party's methods, she decided not to play along anymore. She covered her hand with spiritual energy, quickly grabbed the dagger, snatched it away, and threw it at the person in the shadows.

"ah!"

"Bang!"

A figure fell from a tree not far away, sending dust flying onto the ground.

The dagger that had just been thrown was embedded in his left chest; blood flowed from the dagger, and he died instantly.

Duan Feibai, now uncontrolled, quieted down and stood still, though the redness in his eyes hadn't faded.

The third prince and his companion arrived, and seeing the man was dead, they showed no expression: "Sister, this was a guard of the Southern Kingdom's envoy; he must have received instructions..."

They understood what was left unsaid.

"Is this the jade flute that controls Duan Feibai?"

The Ninth Prince pulled something from the corpse's hand; it was a short jade flute, the jade being dark red.

"Yes, this is it, Ninth Brother, let me see."

Jing Le took the jade flute and looked at it in the light. Sunlight pierced through the flute, leaving mottled halos on the inconspicuous surface.

The halo contains runes that can be drawn. For Jing Le, it's simple—runes that control people. But for the people of this continent, it's deadly.

This rune can not only control people, but also suddenly make them stronger. Even a three-year-old child can kill a martial arts master with sixty years of internal energy.

However, it requires long-term training, and Duan Feibai's current appearance clearly shows that he has not been trained.

"Sister, what is the purpose of this thing?" The Third Prince couldn't help but ask when he saw Jing Le's brows furrow slightly.

"Let's go back first, and listen together when Duan Feibai wakes up."

Jing Le led Duan Feibai forward. She didn't want to explain to each person individually; she preferred to say it all at once.

A quarter of an hour later, the group arrived at Jing Le's residence in Xuanhua Palace.

The Imperial Concubine now adores this daughter, and has arranged for Jing Le's courtyard to be next to her own palace.

"You guys stay here and watch over him, I'm going to get something."

"Okay, go ahead, we'll keep an eye on him."

Jing Le asked the Third Prince and the Ninth Prince to watch over Duan Feibai, and then went into the inner room.

Now that the jade flute is no longer in control, there's no fear that it might harm others.

A moment later, Jing Le came out of the inner room, holding yellow paper, a brush, and cinnabar.

She found all of these in her spatial storage because her strength hadn't recovered yet, so she couldn't directly draw talismans by drawing qi and had to use the most primitive method.

"Sister, did Master Liaowu give you this yellow paper? Have you studied talisman drawing? Could you teach me?"

The Third Prince's eyes lit up the moment he saw what Jing Le was holding. He was now completely convinced of his sister's abilities, and he would believe anyone who said Jing Le could fly.

"Little sister Lele, I want to learn too." Seeing the Third Prince's excited expression, the Ninth Prince chimed in.

Jing Le was speechless, not expecting to be met with three questions from the Third Prince as soon as she came out.

"Third brother, why are you so agitated? It's just drawing talismans, child's play. I know a lot more than that."

"Yes, this was left to me by my master."

I can't exactly say I took this from my social media account, can I? Nobody would believe me anyway.

"I've studied a little."

[Do I even need to learn this? I can learn it after seeing it only once.]

"sure."

Teaching you is no problem; it just depends on your aptitude. After all, this kind of thing requires talent.

The Third Prince and the Ninth Prince heard it clearly. One second they were excited, the next they were looked down upon. However, they quickly put away their disappointment and cheered each other on.

With such an amazing younger sister, there's no reason why her older brother could be any less capable!

That's what they said, but when Jing Le was drawing the talismans, they became withdrawn again.

Jing Le moved very quickly, channeling spiritual energy into the tip of his brush, creating a shape in one stroke, and a golden light condensed into the talisman.

"Alright, Third Brother, stick it on Duan Feibai, anywhere you like."

Jing Le casually handed the completed talisman to the Third Prince beside him, and then started drawing some more herself. Since she was going to start drawing, she might as well draw a few more.

[Draw a peace charm and an evil-repelling charm for each of my beautiful mother, father, third brother, and ninth brother...]

Although the effect is less than one-tenth of what it used to be, it's still sufficient.

The two eavesdroppers felt a surge of tenderness in their hearts; their sister was so kind.

The Third Prince affixed the talisman to Duan Feibai's forehead, and the talisman, which he thought would fall off, actually stuck very firmly.

Golden light, visible to the naked eye, burst forth from the talisman and entered the space between the eyebrows.

"ah!"

A scream came from Duan Feibai's body and disappeared instantly, while Duan Feibai's pupils returned to normal and his consciousness slowly returned.

The Third Prince and the Ninth Prince witnessed Duan Feibai's transformation firsthand and gained a deeper understanding of Jing Le's strength.

My sister is awesome!!

After Duan Feibai's physical abnormality was resolved, Jing Le also received a notification from the system.

[Ding! The mission to rescue Duan Feibai is complete. Reward: 500 merit points. Your strength will be restored to the Great Perfection of Foundation Establishment. You will also receive one chance to draw a prize.]

Jing Le felt the familiar spiritual energy flowing into his body again. This time, there was a lot of spiritual energy, and the spiritual energy attached to merit increased many times over. There were now more than thirty strands of it, which was a huge profit.

If I try again, I can enter the Golden Core stage and get a chance to win a prize. I'll try again tonight.

Thinking about this made him feel even better, and he drew the talismans even faster.

Who are you?

As soon as Duan Feibai regained consciousness, he saw two faces staring intently at him. Scenes of being controlled slowly surfaced in his mind, his pupils contracted, and his tone became unusually tense.

"How is Princess Anle?"

"You're finally awake. Your sister is alright," the Ninth Prince explained as he saw the child, who was about his age, regain consciousness.

"Duan Feibai, I'm here."

Jing Le finished drawing the last picture, put down her hand, and turned to look at everyone.

[Not bad, not bad, the exorcism talisman is quite effective.]

What?

Exorcism talisman?
