Yun Jing's Entanglement

In the afternoon, they were cultivating on the training grounds as usual.

After lessons, Meng Anli came to the valley alone.

She had been able to control the colorful feathers since the day before yesterday.

She told Yuan Tuo that she could practice in the valley by herself.

Yuan Tuo thought it was safe there and agreed.

Although he wanted to stay with his sister, he had a lot of his own things to do.

Meng Anli stood on the mountaintop, leaned forward, and let herself fall.

Just as she was about to land in the valley, she summoned the colorful feathers and flew up again.

She flitted around the valley like a happy bird.

The colorful feathers stayed obediently beneath her feet, occasionally struggling in defiance, but Anli controlled them firmly.

She flew back above the valley. As she swoot down, she saw Yun Jing standing under a white magnolia tree nearby.

She stopped abruptly, hovering right beside him. Her long, flowing hair, due to inertia, drifted forward, almost touching Yun Jing.

Yun Jing raised an eyebrow slightly. Her hair stopped an inch from him and slowly fell back to her chest.

Anli scratched her head sheepishly, "Master, I was reckless again."

"It's alright."

Yun Jing praised, "Your control over the colorful feathers is quite good. How about the Water Arts?"

"I've learned them all."

Yun Jing was surprised. To learn them all in such a short time was not only due to her talent but also her extreme diligence.

"Perhaps there are still some imperfections. I'll show them to you, Master."

"Alright," Yun Jing raised his hand, and a jade table and stools appeared. He sat down, and a tea set materialized on the table.

Yun Jing prepared the tea with smooth, flowing movements, elegant and composed.

Meng Anli couldn't help but watch for a while; it was truly a feast for the eyes.

Her master's fingers were even more captivating than the delicate jade cup.

Yun Jing finished brewing a pot of tea, slightly lifted his eyelids, and smiled, "What? Do you want some tea?"

"No, no," Meng Anli waved her hands repeatedly and began demonstrating the Water Arts, starting with the first one.

She displayed all the Water Arts, and Yun Jing occasionally pointed out errors.

Or suggested improvements.

Meng Anli learned quickly.

After she finished demonstrating all the Water Arts, Yun Jing put down his teacup, his eyelids slightly lowered, making his expression unreadable.

Meng Anli didn't know what he meant, but it certainly wasn't happiness.

Meng Anli nervously clenched the corner of her clothes, "Master, did I do something wrong?"

"Not at all."

Yun Jing didn't look up. He picked up his teacup, his fingertips moved slightly, and the cup spun under his fingers.

The teacup, lid, and saucer spun in a dazzling display.

Just like his inner turmoil at that moment.

Conflicted, chaotic.

Should such a spirited child really bear such a mission?

A single misstep could cost her life.

Perhaps, he should ask for her thoughts.

He asked her, "Have you ever thought about what you want to do in the future?"

Meng Anli replied without hesitation, "First, get revenge, find my mother, and then travel the Seven Realms."

Yun Jing's fingertips paused slightly.

The teacup, lid, and saucer returned to their original positions.

He chuckled; perhaps she was truly born for such a mission.

Yun Jing no longer hesitated, "Consolidate these further. When your level increases to the Nascent Soul Stage, I will teach you the methods of transformation."

"Yes!" Meng Anli happily agreed.

"Alright, it's getting late. You should go back now."

On the way to the Crown Prince's mansion, Meng Xiuchen anxiously scratched his ear.

The subordinate beside him was also a little anxious, "Third Young Master, could Miss have gone down a different path?"

"Another way? She can just fly over..."

Meng Xiuchen said, suddenly remembering her terrifying speed.

He smacked his forehead. "Right, with how cunning she is, she'd probably worry we'd ambush her on the road, so she'd just fly over."

"Then what about us?"

"To the Crown Prince's mansion."

Meng Xiuchen thought, she'll definitely pester them into staying for dinner at the Crown Prince's mansion. They'll first confirm she's at the Crown Prince's mansion, then wait to intercept her at the entrance.
