Not long after, Dongfang Mian and Cheng Zhiyao returned. The former looked calm, while the latter blushed and followed behind Dongfang Mian shyly like a demure young lady.
Cheng Zhishuo sensed something was wrong and pulled his younger sister over to look her up and down, asking, "Sister, what's wrong? Are you feeling unwell?"
Cheng Zhiyao blushed and looked at Dongfang Mian, saying, "I'm fine."
Dongfang Mian said speechlessly, "Speak properly."
Cheng Zhiyao then said, "It's like this. Just now, the sect leader showed me her strength, and I realized that I've always been like a frog in a well, only seeing the sky from the bottom of the well. There's still a lot I need to learn, and I will definitely perform well in the sect in the future."
Cheng Zhishuo looked at Dongfang Mian suspiciously, "Oh? I wonder what kind of strength the sect leader displayed?"
Dongfang Mian gave Cheng Zhiyao a look, and the latter quickly said, "The sect leader demonstrated formations, alchemy, and weapon crafting."
Not only did Cheng Zhishuo not believe this, but even Zhou Qi didn't believe it. All three items were extremely time-consuming. Let alone all three, even demonstrating just one of them would take a while. Besides, why would such a demonstration be done behind someone's back? There must be something wrong with it.
Seeing that her brother didn't believe her, Cheng Zhiyao was so anxious that she almost cried. She really wanted to tell him that Dongfang Mian had just refined pills and crafted artifacts at an extremely fast speed. She didn't even need to worry about the refining process; the pills would automatically draw the pill patterns, and the artifacts would automatically have inscriptions carved on them. During this time, Dongfang Mian had also set up a teleportation array to take her for a stroll in someone else's secret vault. What was most admirable was that Dongfang Mian didn't care at all about those treasures that even Cheng Zhiyao was tempted by; he just took her for a casual look and then left.
But Cheng Zhiyao knew that no one would believe her even if she said it. If she hadn't seen it with her own eyes, she would have kicked that person out as a liar.
Seeing his younger sister's face flushed red and unable to speak, Cheng Zhishuo was even more furious. Although his sister was usually a bit arrogant and liked to act like a spoiled young lady, she was good at heart. In such a short time, she had learned to lie and deceive people from this so-called sect leader.
The more he thought about it, the angrier he became. He couldn't suppress his urge to take action. At this moment, Dongfang Mian glanced at him and said, "It's your turn. Come with me."
Cheng Zhishuo snorted and followed Dongfang Mian away, thinking that he would teach this liar a lesson when no one was around.
Cheng Zhiyao watched her brother leave with Dongfang Mian with great worry, but her concern was for her brother. She was afraid that the sect leader might hurt him, and how would she explain it to her parents when she got back?
A short while later, Dongfang Mian returned with a beaming smile, followed by Cheng Zhishuo, whose face was bruised and swollen. Despite being beaten, Cheng Zhishuo wore an incredibly bright smile and his eyes were filled with deep admiration.
Cheng Zhishuo is a freshman at the Luoyuan Academy of the Flower Goddess Academy this year. Among all the freshmen of Luoyuan Academy, Cheng Zhishuo is definitely one of the top in strength. However, he never expected that under Dongfang Mian's hands, he would be like a child without the ability to resist, and he would be completely powerless to resist the latter with just a flick of her finger.
"Brother, are you alright?" Cheng Zhiyao asked worriedly.
"Are you alright? I almost didn't recognize you. I have to say, Sect Master, you were too ruthless," Zhou Qi said, his voice trembling with pain.
Before Dongfang Mian could say anything, Cheng Zhishuo glared at her and said, "How dare you speak like that? The sect leader is instructing me. How can you say the sect leader is ruthless? This is a one-time exception. Otherwise, if you were the senior brother, I would have to spar with you too."
