You say, will senior fall for you?

Speaking of which, that Golden Pearl鸿 Iron Di Chen gave me is actually quite good. A thumb-sized piece of raw iron can be used to forge a large hoe. I still have more than half of what I refined last time left.

After more than half an hour, the refining was complete, and Jing Pu prepared to go to bed. As for that Dragon Heart Soft Armor Ling Ju insisted on giving Jing Pu.

Jing Pu looked helpless. This thing might be a very powerful magic treasure.

But the problem was, no matter how powerful it was, Jing Pu couldn't wear it!

This was something Ling Ju wore. With her two-foot waist, Jing Pu would struggle even to get it on, let alone fasten the buttons.

Jing Pu thought that if all else failed, he could go to Qinghe Town tomorrow or the day after, get some cotton and fabric, make a doll or a fluffy big bear, put the clothes on it, and then return them to Ling Ju.

Jing Pu's doll-making skill was already at the peak of perfection. Anything he made was lifelike and wouldn't be embarrassing.

It's just that he didn't know if Ling Jing would like this kind of cute cloth doll toy. After all, Ling Ju, whether in speech, actions, or appearance, was a mature and alluring older sister.

But no matter what, he'd try first. Jing Pu thought no girl would refuse cute things, right?

In the end, Jing Pu went to bed.

Meanwhile, in the main hall at the peak of the Divine Sword Sect, Ling Ju and Ling Jing, who had been accepted, were excitedly exclaiming. They hadn't expected Senior Jing Pu to take Ling Ju in as well.

At this moment, Ling Ju was nervously asking Ling Jing about Senior Jing Pu, his likes and dislikes, and so on.

After all, she would be cultivating under Senior Jing Pu from now on, and she couldn't do anything that would displease him.

Ling Jing had never felt so proud since she was little. Now, Ling Jing acted like an elder, instructing Ling Ju, whereas before, Ling Ju had always instructed Ling Jing.

But in reality, Ling Jing didn't know much either. During that week, Jing Pu had been growing vegetables in the backyard and didn't let Ling Jing come to the backyard. They barely saw each other once or twice a day.

However, to save face, Ling Jing made up some things she thought were true.

Ling Ju listened with a serious expression, nodding repeatedly.

After Ling Jing finished speaking, she looked at Ling Ju, who was lost in thought, and said:

"But, Sister, aren't you going to study the formation of the Lord of Ten Thousand Armies? After all, you won't have time to worry about that once you start cultivating with Senior."

Speaking of this, a hint of sadness appeared on Ling Ju's stunningly beautiful face.

"The formation of the Lord of Ten Thousand Armies is too profound, and the formation is primarily for killing, which doesn't align with the Dao Heart I cultivate. For the first formation, I can last at most nine minutes. I'm far from it. Forget it, I don't need this opportunity."

Ling Jing nodded with a smile on the side.

"It's okay. The opportunity of the Lord of Ten Thousand Armies is not important if you don't want it. With Senior here, Senior's opportunities are definitely no worse than that of the Lord of Ten Thousand Armies!"

Ling Ju believed this very much. She nodded and then looked at Ling Jing with some curiosity.

"You cultivated with Senior for a week. Have you changed at all?"

Upon mentioning this, Ling Jing's face couldn't help but show a proud expression. She looked at Ling Ju and chuckled strangely.

"Sister, you still... haven't noticed?"

Ling Jing's words made Ling Ju pause for no reason, but soon, Ling Jing's face showed a look of horror.

"You! You're at the Golden Core mid-stage?!! When did that happen?!"

Golden Core mid-stage!

Ling Ju remembered that Ling Jing had only advanced to the Golden Core early-stage a few years ago. Now... she was already at the Golden Core mid-stage?!

Moreover, there was no closed-door cultivation or breakthrough in between. This meant... Ling Jing had completely achieved enlightenment and directly advanced to the Golden Core mid-stage!

It takes at least thirty years to go from the Golden Core early-stage to the mid-stage, and that's the fastest. If there's no great opportunity, some people might get stuck at the Golden Core early-stage for a hundred years, or even a lifetime.

This... Ling Jing only followed Senior for a week... and she's already at the Golden Core mid-stage!!

Just how powerful is this Senior Jing Pu...

Ling Jing looked at Ling Ju's expression and said proudly, "No need to be so surprised. With daily enlightenment and great opportunities, plus drinking tea comparable to a hundred times the Spirit Gathering Pill, even a pig could cross the tribulation with Senior's help."

Tea?

Ling Ju didn't quite understand, but she would know tomorrow, so she didn't ask further.

However, thinking of this, Ling Ju looked at Ling Jing with annoyance. "You're such an ungrateful wretch. When you were beaten and scolded by Father Emperor when you were little, I always came out to mediate. Yet, you didn't tell me about something like this. If I hadn't come personally today, I probably would never have known."

Hearing this, Ling Jing cried out in injustice. "Not at all, Sister. Wasn't I paving the way for you today?"

Today?

Ling Ju blinked, looking confused. "What about today?"

Immediately, Ling Jing raised her eyebrows. "Think about it, Sister. Senior is a disguised expert. Perhaps it was a whim, or for some other reason, that he taught me. Without Senior's intention, how dare I casually tell others about Senior's affairs?"

"So, today, I deliberately took your Dragon Heart Soft Armor to give to Senior to see what Senior meant. If Senior accepted it, it would mean Senior was willing. If Senior didn't accept it, wouldn't that mean Senior didn't want to?"

"After Senior accepted it, I would gradually talk to Senior and ask Senior to accept you too, Sister. Wouldn't that be a natural progression?"

"What do you think, Sister? Am I smart?"

Ling Jing put on a knowing look, while Ling Ju felt the matter wasn't that simple. However, too much had happened today, and Ling Ju's mind was a bit jumbled. She wanted to figure out what was going on, but didn't know where to start.

Ling Ju furrowed her delicate brows slightly, asking with some doubt, "Is it really like that?"

Ling Jing nodded repeatedly, "Of course, of course! Look, didn't Senior agree today? Plus, I have a bold idea."

Ling Ju felt that what Ling Jing said did have some logic. After all, no matter what, Senior had indeed agreed today.

As for Ling Jing's so-called bold idea, Ling Ju raised an eyebrow slightly, curious:

"What idea?"

Afterward, Ling Jing glanced around, acting very cautiously, then looked at the curious Ling Ju and said:

"Sister... you... do you think... Senior... might have fallen for you?"

Upon hearing this, Ling Ju merely froze for a moment. Her small face immediately flushed rosy, her cheeks burning red. She became flustered, saying:

"You... you stop talking nonsense!!"
