Song Changsheng did not remain in the hall. Instead, he left the space to Lu Yuming and Jiang Shuming. The two of them ought to have a reckoning between them.
Meanwhile, he stayed in the pavilion from before with Song Youxiang. As he tested her studies, he also learned about everything she had gone through over the years.
It had to be said that during her years of studying away from home, Song Youxiang had indeed put in efforts far beyond ordinary people. All her achievements today had been accumulated bit by bit.
"When I first arrived at Hundred Herbs Hall, some of the senior martial brothers and senior sisters did indeed hold quite a few prejudices against me. Fortunately, Master and Senior Disciple Brother took very good care of me, so those early days were not too difficult to endure.
"Later, during an assessment held by Master, I came out on top. From then on, the senior martial brothers and senior sisters looked at me in a new light, while the junior martial brothers and martial sisters treated me with great respect.
"Now, my attainments in the Dao of talismans have already surpassed Senior Disciple Brother's. Whenever Master entered seclusion, I taught in his stead."
As she spoke, Song Youxiang proudly raised her snowy-white, slender neck. Her face overflowed with a confident smile, and her tone was equally brimming with confidence.
Such a sight would have been absolutely impossible to see in the Song Youxiang of the past.
"You have truly been reborn and remade over these years. My painstaking efforts were not in vain." Song Changsheng spoke with satisfaction. When he had arranged for Song Youxiang to take Jiang Shuming as her master, it had merely been an experiment. He had never expected it to work so well.
