CHAPTER 114
The Second Lesson Commissioned by Senior Sister
============================================================
"Heh, I suppose I can tell you. This is…"
Before he could finish, Ye Qinghan flicked his wrist, summoning the Vajra Ring!
The multicolored lotus petals scattered like sand through slippery fingers, flying toward Ye Qinghan as Liu Jingcheng stared in stunned disbelief!
"Shiyao, did you pull my leg? This piece of junk is worth fifty taels? What's it even for?"
"Siyu isn't fooling you, Sister. From what that guy said, this thing seems to be able to pierce through Siyu's Chaos Bell."
"Impossible! Today, Senior Sister will teach you a lesson—so you stop freaking out over every little thing!"
In truth, Ye Qinghan had overheard this by chance from his master. Before that, he hadn't realized the Chaos Bell was so formidable, thinking it merely offered unmatched defense.
"My master once said: The Chaos Bell possesses boundless mysteries. It can imprison time, suppress space, deflect all attacks from magical treasures and divine weapons, and nullify any spell or supernatural power. It unites offense and defense, granting invincibility from the very first strike."
"Look at yourself now. How embarrassing!"
Li Shiyao was dumbfounded. She hadn't realized the Chaos Bell was this formidable either!
But she couldn't be blamed. At least her senior sister had the Ling Frost Sword Art to study and practice. Yet her master had given her only the Chaos Bell, without a single instruction manual. She'd never even heard of this innate treasure before—how was she supposed to comprehend it?
"So this artifact is this powerful?"
Seeing Liu Jingcheng growing increasingly flustered and angry, Ye Qinghan casually handed the Nine-Colored Lotus to Li Shiyao and swiftly snatched the Chaos Bell back.
She then turned to face Liu Jingcheng as he charged forward, casually remarking, "Senior Sister will demonstrate for you."
Watch as the Chaos Bell in Ye Qinghan's hands grew to more than double its original size!
"Watch the technique—it's not about strength, but all in the details and execution!"
Behold the house-sized Chaos Bell hovering above Liu Jingcheng's head. Within its sphere of influence, a golden barrier materialized visibly before their eyes!
"Senior Sister is formidable!"
Liu Jingcheng froze, his heart sinking with dread.
Damn it, she's cheating!
Enveloped by the golden barrier, even she, with her Nascent Soul cultivation, couldn't budge it an inch!
Li Shiyao clapped her hands, mentally reviewing the four-character phrases Elder Liu had taught her. She felt every four-character idiom in this world had been crafted just for Senior Sister!
"Senior Sister is practically drooling, drilling holes in the wall to steal…"
"Shut up! That's so embarrassing! I told you to stop using four-character phrases!"
Ye Qinghan couldn't help but think Li Shiyao must have allocated all her talent points to her figure—her IQ was definitely negative!
She made a mental note: after dealing with the Liu family, there was one top priority—she absolutely had to buy Li Shiyao a dictionary of idioms!
"Senior Sister, you rock!"
It seemed two-character phrases didn't faze Shiyu, but four-character idioms were just too advanced for her!
But then again, Master didn't set high expectations for Li Shiyu. As long as she didn't eat food from strangers, didn't run off to play recklessly, she could do pretty much whatever she wanted… Oh, and she definitely shouldn't drink the bathwater from the Spirit Pool Hall…
If Master required disciples to know more than four four-character idioms, Shi Yao would've been out of the running for sure!
Ye Qinghan had only used the Chaos Bell once or twice and knew few techniques. After briefly demonstrating them to Li Shiyu, he returned the bell to her.
"Senior Sister is busy. Use it to practice. Don't bother her unless it's something valuable."
"Uh…"
Before Li Shiyao could respond, Ye Qinghan vanished in an instant, off to plunder the land.
With the Chaos Bell changing hands, the golden barrier shrouding his head vanished, and Liu Jingcheng was free!
But he immediately sensed something was terribly wrong!
The Nine-Colored Lotus had no effect whatsoever on the two of them! And this bell was peculiar!
How could a treasure wielded by a Golden Core Stage cultivator possibly trap him, a Nascent Soul sect master?
Beyond that, he sensed spatial anomalies here. Looking up at the sky, sure enough, dozens of magical treasures hung suspended mid-air!
Most likely, one of these treasures restricted or neutralized the Nine-Colored Lotus!
Li Shiyao summoned her courage and launched an offensive. Knowing most artifacts were useless against her, she steeled herself!
She grabbed the Chaos Bell, intending to smash it into Liu Jingcheng. However, her technique was still unrefined, and Liu Jingcheng's blade sliced cleanly through her waist!
Startled, Li Shiyao recoiled. Though she'd been grazed before, this blow struck her squarely!
She hurriedly retreated back into the Chaos Bell to inspect her injury. Li Shiyu didn't consider this cowardice—it was what her senior sister had said about… standing in… the realm of the undead or something…
Pulling at her Shimmering Shadow Dress, she began inspecting the wound while casually pulling out a Quick-Acting Fox-Saving Pill and swallowing one.
Nothing… Could it be internal injuries?
She removed the Shimmering Shadow Dress and pulled up her undershirt for a closer look…
Waaah! It's all red! She hadn't felt much pain before, but now seeing the redness, it actually stung a bit when touched…
【Senior Sister, Shiyao's hurt!】
【Oh, I'll come collect your body once I'm done here.】
【Senior Sister, it's true! I was slashed by that Liu Sect Leader!】
This time, Ye Qinghan didn't even respond, ignoring Li Shiyu completely. Yet the Jade Pendant in her bosom kept trembling faintly, causing a slight itch…
Ye Qinghan simply tied the Jade Pendant to her waist, pretending not to notice it.
Truth be told, if it were anyone else, Ye Qinghan might have gone to check. But Li Shiyu?
To injure her would require at least a Breaker's Sword Formation-level attack. Such an assault wouldn't even need her to send a message—she'd notice it herself.
As for other psychic assaults or spatial manipulations, Ye Qinghan had them all blocked!
So she wasn't the least bit flustered. Li Shiyao was just prone to overreacting—she had no idea how resilient Ye Qinghan really was!
With that thought, Ye Qinghan casually sent Xu Zhanfeng a message, summoning him to assist.
The Liu family estate was larger than anticipated, with plenty of valuable items. She needed a strong arm to help her strip it bare!
Xu Zhanfeng rushed over the moment he received the message!
What Ye Qinghan hadn't anticipated was that Xu Zhanfeng was intercepted by Second Grandma!
"Second Grandma? What brings you here?"
Xu Zhanfeng spotted Li Shiyao the moment he arrived, wondering why Second Grandma was here too.
But Li Shiyao didn't recognize him… After all, the last time they met, Xu Zhanfeng had been nothing more than a corpse!
"Who are you?"
"Second Matriarch, I am Xu Zhanfeng, currently an attendant of Lingxian Hall. I've come here on the First Matriarch's orders to assist!"
As he spoke, Xu Zhanfeng produced the Lingxian Hall jade pendant, effectively verifying his identity.
The jade pendant was undeniably genuine, so Li Shiyao didn't think twice: "In that case, help Shiyao beat him up!"
Li Shiyu pointed at Liu Jingcheng, her eyes filled with resentment!
"Zhanfeng is an attendant of Lingxian Hall. The direct order from Immortal Ye is to see her immediately. Second Madam, please make amends."
Xu Zhanfeng was unaware of Li Shiyao's apprenticeship. Addressing her as Second Madam was merely a courtesy to Ye Qinghan—merely acknowledging her presence was already generous!
Though you are Ye Xianzi's sister, Zhanfeng is an attendant of Lingxian Hall. Naturally, the orders of the First Madam, Ye Xianzi, take precedence!
Having lived this long, if Xu Zhanfeng couldn't discern such basic priorities, he'd have lived in vain!
Li Shiyao heard this! Was that right?
"I don't care! You come help Shiyu first. I'll go speak for you with Senior Sister!"
Xu Zhanfeng also sensed something amiss and tentatively asked, "The Second Lady refers to Ye Xianzi as Senior Sister?"
Still, Xu Zhanfeng found it hard to believe. How could Master Su possibly take a little airhead as a disciple?
