Chapter 223 Water Miao Miao: I’m Going to Heal Celestial Eye, Really?
“Big Brother Ling, the Young Master has written us another letter.”
Shi Tou dashed into the room in a rush, panting. Upon hearing this, Ling Feng hurriedly put down his work: “What’s the matter? Is the Young Master giving us an important task again?”
“I don’t know, I haven’t even opened it yet.” Shi Tou scratched his head and quickly passed the letter over.
Ling Feng opened the letter and read it, his eyebrows furrowing slightly.
“Big Brother Ling, what did it say?” Shi Tou asked curiously.
Ling Feng put down the letter and said in a serious tone: “Recently, quite a few demon practitioners from the Western Regions have sneaked in. The Young Master warned us to be extra careful.”
“Big Brother Ling, they wouldn’t be here for…”
Shi Tou didn’t finish, but he shot a glance at the iron ring in Ling Feng’s hand.
“Not sure.” Ling Feng shook his head, but a guess was already forming in his mind. He continued, “We should temporarily abandon the outposts outside the city and tell the brothers not to leave. I always felt something was off with the Mo Family. Seems like I was right.”
“Big Brother Ling, you mean…?” Shi Tou’s face turned even more serious. He nodded hurriedly. “Got it! I’ll go notify the brothers right away!”
Meanwhile, outside Golden Lion City, three cultivators who clearly didn’t look like they were from the Northern Region appeared on a small hill. Leading the group was a tall, wheat-skinned woman. If someone from the Western Regions saw them, they’d recognize their attire as the famous Jin Sha Sect’s robes.
…
“Today’s class is the last one,” Bai Feng told Fang Yue. “You’re progressing much faster than I expected. I’ll pass the Image Retainer over to you from now on, and your final task is to develop the second-generation Image Retainer.”
“Yes, I promise not to make the teacher disappointed!”
Fang Yue felt a bit reluctant—she hated to admit it—but she also knew she couldn’t keep studying under Bai Feng forever.
Plus, Bai Feng’s trust in her was far beyond what she imagined. He even handed over such an important device—the Image Retainer—for her to develop. That showed how much he valued her.
If she could do well and earn Bai Feng’s praise, would he take her on as a disciple?
Suddenly, Fang Yue was filled with motivation—this time, failure was not an option! She had to seize this chance and become Bai Feng’s apprentice!
“Hmm, I still trust you quite a bit,” Bai Feng nodded. “This is the last lesson. If there’s anything you don’t understand, ask quickly. It won’t be so easy to ask again later.”
Fang Yue’s mind fluttered—her first thought was the smell of roasted meat she caught from Bai Feng a few days ago.
Though days had passed, the aroma still burned vividly in her brain, impossible to forget. Every time she saw Bai Feng, she’d think of that scent, making it hard for her to concentrate.
But she held back her urge to ask—after all, it had nothing to do with array formations. If she asked such a weird question, Bai Feng might think she’s unreliable, which could hurt her rating in his eyes. Besides, she didn’t want to waste precious time on something so trivial.
She cleared her mind of distractions and eagerly asked Bai Feng about the questions she had accumulated over the past few days, hoping to absorb more knowledge before leaving.
Gradually, she immersed herself in the sea of knowledge, until…
“Alright, that’s enough for today.”
Bai Feng ended his lecture, and Fang Yue snapped out of her daze. She looked out the window—the setting sun had already dipped quite low. She finally realized how much time had passed.
“This round of teaching has been a complete success,” Bai Feng put away his manuals, smiling as he patted her shoulder. “Keep it up! If you encounter problems you can’t solve, remember to write me a letter.”
“Yes!” Fang Yue hurriedly nodded.
She looked down at the pages filled with array formation insights and reflections. She had made great progress—though she was only at the Yuan Ying stage now, she could already understand fifth-tier array formations capable of dealing with Yuan Ying cultivators. She was one step closer to revenge.
“Senior Brother Bai, you’re finally out!”
A familiar voice came from outside. She paused her movements and, instinctively, looked toward the door through the crack.
And sure enough, standing outside was Princess Sixth of Eastern Continent, her sixth sister.
‘Why is she here?’
She thought for a few seconds, then suddenly remembered the rumors of Princess Sixth training in the Heavenly Sword Sect. If so, her appearance here wasn’t strange… right?
‘But why does she seem so close to the teacher?’
She quietly tiptoed to the door, sneaking an outside look.
At this moment, Bai Feng looked a little surprised too. He asked Water Miao Miao, “Why did you come?”
“Um, I was planning to ask for some guidance on swordplay, but Senior Sister Bai said you weren’t here, so I just followed her,” Water Miao Miao explained. “And I also heard that Senior Sister Bai found her sister, so I thought I might see if I can help with my pill skills.”
“Yu Mo’s here too?”
Bai Feng nodded, glancing inside the classroom with his peripheral vision—if he remembered correctly, this Child of Destiny was also from the Eastern Continent royal family. But he wasn’t sure what her relationship with Water Miao Miao was.
“Let’s go find Yu Mo first.”
He tucked away his gaze and called for Water Miao Miao before heading off.
To prevent any surprises, he didn’t plan to let Fang Yue and Water Miao Miao meet up. If the Eastern Continent royal family had some secret method to sense the Dragon Clan’s bloodline, it could be problematic. Although the chance of Fang Yue being exposed was slim, better safe than sorry.
After Bai Feng and Water Miao Miao left, Fang Yue slowly pushed open the classroom door and stepped out.
Her face was filled with confusion—her perception told her that her sixth sister’s bloodline concentration had increased significantly, even surpassing her own now.
‘If this keeps going, Sixth Sister might be in danger.’
Fang Yue’s mind turned heavy. She understood well the internal struggles within the royal family. Besides her siblings, her shrewd uncle was also eyeing the throne. If he found out about her sixth sister’s high bloodline concentration, her fate might end up like her sister’s—caught in a deadly game.
‘Should I tell her?’
……
“Oh! As expected of Bai Sister’s sister, they really look alike!”
Water Miao Miao watched Chu Chu, who was battling Bai Yu Mo, and couldn’t help whispering.
*Psst, Bai Yu Mo’s figure is a bit more appealing.*
“Big Brother?”
Bai Yu Mo paused her action and turned her head toward Bai Feng.
“Take a rest,” Bai Feng smiled and waved at them. “And let Doctor Water help Chu Chu with her treatment.”
Water Miao Miao froze for a few seconds before suddenly looking at Bai Feng, her face blank.
“Eh?”
Who is Doctor Water? Is it me?
Am I going there to heal Celestial Eye, really?
