Chapter 159 You actually told me to give up?
Meeting the girl's clear eyes, Qu You paused, then slowly shook her head, "It's just that in a few days, there may be many people who are secretly trying to harm you at the grand banquet. If Junior Sister can understand the different levels of the Pupil Transformation Technique, she will have an extra layer of protection."
The Demon Lord has invited the entire world to a banquet, which will last for three days starting tomorrow. This sounds like a gesture of goodwill towards her, but Mu Jianjian is not taking it seriously.
"How many years have you studied the different levels of the Pupil Transformation Technique? Besides, won't passing on the later techniques to me have some negative impact on you? Furthermore, won't the people from the Golden Crow Shrine become suspicious of you because of this?"
Mu Jianjian raised these questions with a clear mind. She looked at Qu You, who was covered in wounds and had not yet fully recovered, with her calm eyes, and then turned around and walked out of the palace again.
But just as they were about to leave, they were blocked by a transparent wall.
Mu Jianjian touched the wall with both hands, looked up at the distant starlight in the sky. The night view of the palace garden was clearly close at hand, but she could not reach out and touch it. It was out of reach.
She sighed.
If Mu Jianjian still doesn't understand what happened, then she's really being foolish—
Using Qu You as an excuse, her senior brother locked her up in this palace.
She was puzzled when she entered because of the room's layout, which resembled a woman's room. Despite having doubts about her senior brother, she stepped inside without hesitation.
"Call Chi Wenqing over." Mu Jianjian turned around, her tone calm and without any ripples.
She didn't call him "senior brother" for the first time because she was angry.
As expected, she couldn't be kept in the dark.
“Junior Sister,” Qu You sighed, “Your Highness… Young Master said that as long as you stay in this palace for three days, he will release you after things are over. He will take care of things for you regarding the Xuan Shuang Sect.”
Mu Jianjian lowered her hand from the transparent wall to her side, and looked at the man with a faint gaze, "Why? He wouldn't even tell me himself?"
Qu You remained silent, the girl's soft questioning echoing in the air, while the sounds of their breathing dissipated in the quiet night.
“Junior Sister, I’m in the other courtyard. You can come to me during the day whenever you’re willing to stay here for three days and begin practicing the Pupil Transformation Technique.”
Mu Jianjian watched quietly as the man easily stepped over the transparent wall created by the talisman from the palace gate, leaving her with only his back view.
She hated the feeling of being arranged like this, as if someone was using the excuse of "I'm doing this for your own good" to confine her to their plan, leaving her with no chance to resist, not even the chance to say "no".
She knew that since the original villain in the book was not as simple as she had thought, her senior brother must have had his own plan from beginning to end. But Mu Jianjian never expected that she would become a part of his plan.
"Qu You." Mu Jianjian called softly, and the man who was about to leave the palace stopped and turned around to wait for her next words.
"I'm willing to start learning the pupil-changing technique from you."
The girl's clear voice made Qu You raise an eyebrow in surprise.
He thought his junior sister would be upset and make a fuss for a long time, but to his surprise, she quickly got out of her emotions and followed reason to choose the side that was in her best interest.
As Qu You re-entered the palace and began to explain the Pupil Transformation Technique to Mu Jianjian from the ground up, Mu Jianjian quietly sat cross-legged, gathering her true energy around her right pupil as she followed his narration, while recalling the transparent barrier that her hands had just touched.
The first thought that came to her about the transparent barrier was the later layers that Qu You had used when fighting her, but that consumed too much true energy. Apart from that, it was also the idea of setting up all of this in the palace with a talisman array.
This was clearly a long-planned scheme.
The senior brother's direct purpose in keeping her locked up in the palace was simply to prevent her from attending the palace banquet. But why didn't the senior brother want her to attend the palace banquet?
"Only those who have mastered the secret technique can see the illusionary butterflies created by the Pupil-Turning Technique. Junior Sister, how many illusionary butterflies can you currently create at most?"
The golden threads in Mu Jianjian's right pupil shimmered, and a moment later, ten thousand pink and purple phantom butterflies with fluttering wings appeared in her eyes, spreading out in different sizes, like dancing flowers.
Qu You was startled. Had she not released all the illusionary butterflies when she was fighting him?
No wonder they were able to find an opportunity to break through the barrier.
The Pupil Transformation Technique is a unique secret technique created by the Immortal Venerable Zilu ten thousand years ago. Among her several disciples at that time, only he was recognized for his ability to control and release the Illusionary Butterfly. Now, Junior Sister has actually reached such a level through her own exploration!
When the young prince instructed him to teach Mu Jianjian, Qu You was reluctant. But now that he was certain that she was his fellow disciple and that she had talent, he couldn't wait to hand over all the spells he knew!
Mu Jianjian always believed that one should focus on studying when it's time to study. She listened very carefully as Qu You taught her the basic techniques and methods, and even demonstrated them to her. After explaining them to her, Qu You looked out the window and began to urge her to leave.
"The Pupil Transformation Technique cannot be mastered overnight; this technique must be gradually perceived through experience and the accumulation of true energy." Qu You reluctantly finished speaking before getting up.
"Was talisman magic used in this palace?" Mu Jianjian tilted her head and asked. Seeing Qu You turn her head as if to persuade her, she added, "Don't worry, I'm just asking."
Qu You thought that his junior sister didn't understand talisman techniques, and besides, this was the work of Wen Lao, the talisman master by the young prince's side, so he readily admitted it and left, unaware of the thoughtful expression on the girl's face behind him.
After the man's figure disappeared, and after sensing with her divine sense that no one was in the palace, Mu Jianjian began to take out the talisman paper she had stored in her spatial bag and began to study it.
"Does the host want to leave?" the system asked.
"Hmm, otherwise, would I really be locked up in this palace by my senior brother for three days? I can't stand it." Mu Jianjian began to recall how Linghu Zhuoyu used talisman arrays, and finally understood what it meant to have many skills.
"Actually, it's quite good for you to stay here, host. This grand banquet was so dangerous. Didn't you experience a great battle on the last day in the original book? Chi Wenqing wouldn't harm you." The system said happily.
"You're actually telling me to slack off?" Mu Jianjian exclaimed incredulously. "Back then, you were the one who kept urging me to work on the progress bar!"
