Inside the sect hall building on the mountaintop of the Divine Sword Sect, Ling Ju looked somewhat angrily at Ling Jing, who had just entered, and said:

"What did you do today? Didn't I tell you to stay in your room honestly?!"

Ling Ju truly couldn't stand her own younger brother; as soon as no one was watching, he'd run off.

Also, what was he doing? He was covered in dirt?!

Ling Jing knew why Ling Ju was angry, so he immediately said in a gentle tone:

"Sister~ Stop scolding me... I really didn't do anything bad today, I went to cultivate with a Senior..."

A Senior??

Ling Ju was a little stunned. It wasn't that she was curious about this Senior, but rather that she was surprised Ling Jing would address someone like that.

Ling Jing looked at the somewhat confused Ling Ju in front of him and grinned:

"Sister, you don't know yet, right? That Senior we met that night, his name isn't Changshan Zhao Zilong, it's Jing Pu!"

Ling Ju was a bit lost, but before she could speak, Ling Jing suddenly looked at her very seriously and said:

"But, Sister, when you meet the Senior, you must be polite. Absolutely do not call the Senior by his name. Like me, call him Senior."

Ling Ju didn't understand much else, but upon hearing this, she looked at the earnest Ling Jing in front of her with a strange expression.

The most impolite person in the world was now telling her to be polite??

Ling Ju immediately prepared to ask what exactly happened this morning, but Ling Jing, with a strange expression, abruptly changed the subject and looked at Ling Ju, saying:

"Sister~ Your Dragon Heart Soft Armor... is it almost repaired?"

Hmm??

Ling Ju looked at Ling Jing with a strange expression. When did her brother start caring about such trivial matters?

Ling Ju lightly nodded and said softly:

"Yes, why?"

Then Ling Jing chuckled and said:

"Then Sister, shall I help you repair and maintain it?"

Ling Ju: "???"

Although this wasn't an undergarment, it was still worn under her robes. Of course, more importantly, what was wrong with her brother?

Seeing the suspicious look on Ling Ju's face, Ling Jing flinched. Damn, I was a bit too obvious.

Immediately, Ling Jing awkwardly turned and walked away, saying:

"If you don't need it, then forget it. I just said it casually. I'm leaving now."

After Ling Ju came to her senses, she frowned and asked:

"What are you going to do now??"

Ling Jing, who had already walked out of the hall, replied without looking back:

"Digging!"

Ling Ju: "???"

Ling Ju was a bit bewildered. What was wrong with her brother...??

Was it because of that Senior??

Ling Ju frowned slightly, pondering, but... from the current perspective, it seemed... not bad.

Ling Ju knew her brother best; he was too prone to causing trouble!

As long as no one was watching, Ling Jing would sneak out and cause trouble. One day he'd beat up a prince from some dynasty, the next he'd tear down that dynasty's royal city.

Just three months ago, Ling Jing had beaten up Yan Tian, the legitimate prince of the Yan Dynasty. Yan Tian was the only legitimate son of King Yan of the Yan Dynasty.

Like Ling Jing, he was the designated heir for the next generation. As a result, Ling Jing beat Yan Tian to the point where he couldn't have any descendants.

King Yan himself drove a carriage, pulling Yan Tian from the Yan Dynasty's royal city to Bei Lan Imperial City to seek justice.

Upon arriving at Bei Lan Imperial City, the white-haired King Yan knelt at the main gate of the imperial city, crying and begging for justice. This incident caused a huge stir throughout the Northern Province.

In the end, her own Emperor personally appeased the situation and bestowed a large number of Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures, which finally resolved the matter.

Her brother feared nothing, but there were two people he feared the most: one was her father, the Emperor, and the other was herself.

However, her father, the Emperor, was very busy and couldn't watch Ling Jing every day. Ling Ju had been watching him before.

But a year ago, Ling Ju entered the Jade Pool Holy Land to cultivate, and then Ling Jing was completely unsupervised.

Her mother doted on Ling Jing excessively, which led to these incidents.

But looking at it now, this Senior seemed to be able to keep Ling Jing in check, which was what Ling Ju was most satisfied with.

Ling Ju had never seen her brother respect an outsider so much before.

With this Senior around, she wouldn't have to worry so much.

Thinking of this, Ling Ju also suddenly remembered what Ling Jing had said earlier about the Dragon Heart Soft Armor.

Before, her younger brother never bothered with such trivial matters. It was already good if he didn't cause trouble for her, let alone actively help her.

She figured it must be the work of some Senior, teaching Ling Jing to care about family.

Thinking this, Ling Ju sighed with emotion, truly wanting to meet this Senior.

As for Ling Jing's mention of digging earlier, Ling Ju didn't take it to heart. She guessed it was some Senior's cultivation method, or perhaps something random. It wasn't important; what mattered was that Ling Jing didn't cause trouble.

She really should thank them in person if she had the chance, but... not now.

Ling Ju turned to look at a glowing sand table on the desk and sighed softly:

"The formation of the Lord of Ten Thousand Armies... is too difficult..."

With that, Ling Ju closed her eyes slightly, her spiritual sense probing the sand table once more.

Over the next week... Jing Pu was truly driven mad by Ling Jing and Lie Chun!!

These two hooligans would knock on his door before dawn to "help" Jing Pu hoe the ground. They'd hoe all morning, and no amount of persuasion or chasing would make them leave.

The first two or three days were fine; they'd only dig seven or eight pits, maybe a dozen, each day.

But after that, these two seemed to have an epiphany. They dropped the act and became increasingly adept at digging. Together, they could dig seventy to eighty pits in a single morning.

Considering how small Jing Pu's front yard was, these two left it pockmarked and uneven, as if it had been bombarded by artillery shells.

Jing Pu eventually resigned himself to it. Fine, let them make a mess of the front yard. Jing Pu went to the backyard to do his own planting and warned the two of them never to come to the backyard.

Fortunately, the two listened and didn't come, staying to cause trouble in the front yard.

But who knew, after digging nothing but holes in the front yard, they started digging big holes in the small ones!!

Jing Pu was dumbfounded. He was digging holes to plant vegetables, to grow food, not to dig his own grave!

What the hell were they digging such massive holes for?!

Moreover, after digging these large holes, they didn't tidy the soil, just piled it up to the side.

At night, it looked like a mass grave, eerily filled with mounds of dirt!

And these two... Lie Chun was the chief disciple. As for Ling Jing's identity, Jing Pu wasn't clear yet, but judging by Ling Jing's attire, the patterns on the clothes were either Dragons or Cranes, so they couldn't be ordinary either.

Jing Pu really didn't have the nerve to kick them out directly, so he could only let them continue their antics in the front yard. Jing Pu just hoped that these two, whose minds had clearly gone astray, would leave as soon as their interest waned.

But it seemed, based on the current situation, they wouldn't be leaving anytime soon.

On the afternoon of the seventh day, after filling back half of the mounds that resembled graves, Jing Pu sat in a small pavilion, drinking tea and resting. Without those two troublemakers around, Jing Pu truly felt at peace.

However... his peace didn't last long before Jing Pu suddenly saw a distant mountain suddenly... collapse...

What was going on now? Were they really not going to let him have a moment of peace?

Half an hour later...

In the highest hall of the Divine Sword Sect, Ling Ju slammed the table in anger and shouted:

"This Senior is really going too far! Where is he? Arrange for us to meet!"

Di Chen and Ling Tiannan, standing before Ling Ju, exchanged glances, feeling somewhat indignant. The mountain was collapsed by Ling Jing; why were they blaming their Senior?

Meanwhile, Ling Jing was sprinting excitedly along the bluestone path of the Divine Sword Sect, clutching a piece of leather Inner Armor in his hand.

Senior~~~ I've stolen my sister's Inner Armor~~~~~~
