"It's Qing Lin's voice..."
Little Fairy Doctor gently tugged at Lu Yu's sleeve, her tone carrying unconcealable delight.
The two followed the sound and looked over. On the arena in the training ground, Qing Lin was standing on tiptoe, her little hand waving high in the air. Her emerald-green eyes were astonishingly bright, her cheeks flushed red from excitement, and the ribbon tying her hair fluttered cheerfully with her movements.
"Young Master, Sister Little Fairy Doctor!"
Qing Lin's clear voice pierced through the noisy training ground as she said, "I just won my match!"
Lu Yu and Little Fairy Doctor looked at each other and smiled, then walked toward the arena.
By the time they drew near, Qing Lin had already hopped lightly down from the stage. Her little face was rosy, her eyes filled with joy, and she said happily, "Young Master, why did you come?"
"The Inner Academy's training has come to a temporary end, so we came by to see how much our Qing Lin has improved."
Lu Yu smiled gently.
Little Fairy Doctor took a handkerchief from her sleeve and gently wiped the sweat from Qing Lin's forehead. "I heard you've been working very hard lately."
The three found a quiet spot beneath a large tree and sat down. Lu Yu took out a green Jade Slip from his Storage Ring, his expression turning serious. "Qing Lin, the main reason I came this time is to give this to you."
The four ancient characters, "Insect Control Heart Sutra," shimmered faintly in the sunlight on the Jade Slip.
Lu Yu explained, "This is a unique cultivation method focused on controlling all kinds of strange insects and unusual snakes in the world. It suits your constitution perfectly."
Qing Lin carefully accepted the Jade Slip, curiosity and anticipation flickering
