Hearing Han San's words, Jade Little Sister's heart felt much better.
Yes, her own disciple had spoken the truth.
As an elder, what one relied on was not brute force, but knowledge, reasoning, and wisdom.
She, Jade Little Sister, prided herself on being unrivaled in reasoning and second to none in wisdom.
If she ranked second, then no one in the entire Dou Ling Great Courtyard could rank first.
Han San said seriously, "Elder, rest assured, in the future I will definitely clear your name."
"Mm, I trust you." Jade Little Sister nodded slightly, beginning to look forward to a beautiful future.
Under Han San's support, Jade Little Sister slowly walked away from the place.
Tang Qinghe watched the two figures leave, sneering inwardly. Jade Little Sister, oh Jade Little Sister, I hope you enjoy that Mother-Child River Water.
Of course, if Han San drank it too, that would be even better.
Han San supported Jade Little Sister back to her room and helped her lie down on the bed.
"Consider yourself back now, Elder. You rest well too, don't bother with that bastard Tang Qinghe. Just focus on recuperating and regaining your strength. If anything comes up, directly instruct your disciple."
Jade Little Sister said nothing, silently nodding, but Tang Qinghe's earlier words had made him somewhat uneasy.
He waved his hand and said, "Xiao San, go to the left bookshelf on the third row to the left of the main hall and bring over the second book. That contains a cold power cultivation method I created after years of research. In a few days I'll teach it to you, you must cultivate it well."
"Yes." Seeing the profound cultivation path on the book, Han San felt a warm current flow through his heart, and he couldn't help but admire his elder's 'wisdom.'
To have 'researched' to this extent, how much effort had his elder put in?
Of course, that so-called cold power cultivation method was certainly inferior to his Tang Sect Absolute Art.
"Elder, I've put the water here. If you get thirsty, just drink it yourself."
Putting away the book, Han San poured a cup of water for Jade Little Sister and placed it on the bedside table beside his bed.
"Mm. Go on. Also, in a few days, go to the Martial Soul Hall in Jedi City to register your spirit. With the spirit ring supplement, you won't need to continue doing mission work, freeing up more time for cultivation."
Han San nodded, turned, and walked out of Jade Little Sister's room.
After he left, Jade Little Sister slowly sat up, picked up the water from the bedside table, and drank it all in one gulp.
And at the moment he drank it, a new life had already quietly formed within his body.
Just as Jade Little Sister drank the Mother-Child River Water, Tang Qinghe had already finished packing, returned to the dormitory, washed up, and headed to the dining hall for dinner.
Xiao Wu suddenly ran in from outside the dormitory. "Tang Qinghe, you bastard! Last time you made this young lady unable to walk properly for several days. This time I want to settle the score!"
"Alright."
Before Xiao Wu could react, Tang Qinghe's right palm curled, a yellow light swallowing and spitting within his palm, and he used the Heaven Net Capturing Hand technique, pressing toward Xiao Wu's head.
Tang Qinghe's sudden attack caught Xiao Wu off guard, and she was also furious. In the past, she was always the one attacking, yet today someone had turned the tables on her.
Han San had just come out of Jade Little Sister's room, returned to the dormitory, washed up, and was about to go cultivate his Spirit Body when he happened to witness this scene.
He was directly stunned.
Because Tang Qinghe's seemingly ordinary attack was actually a superb capturing technique he had never seen or heard of before.
Faced with this move, even if he encountered it for the first time, he would find it very difficult to deal with. Could it be that this other world also possessed such superb martial arts similar to controlling and capturing techniques?
Just as Han San was pondering this, Xiao Wu had already instinctively sidestepped to dodge, then swung her leg out, intending to entangle Tang Qinghe's neck.
Tang Qinghe had consumed the Through-Autumn Water and cultivated the martial arts from the Heavenly Scroll, so Xiao Wu's counterattack appeared to him as slow as a snail's pace.
He swayed to dodge Xiao Wu's leg sweep, while his right hand grabbed Xiao Wu's right shoulder blade, then pressed down hard.
Xiao Wu cried out in pain, her body instantly losing balance, and she was pressed to the ground.
Seeing this, Wang Zhu and the others were once again dumbfounded. Big Brother Tang was indeed Big Brother Tang; although Sister Xiao Wu was formidable, she was ultimately no match for Big Brother Tang.
Pressing his knee against Xiao Wu's back and holding her rabbit-like head down, pinning her firmly to the ground in a restraining hold, Tang Qinghe finally spoke, "You lost again."
"Bastard, I'm not convinced, I'm not convinced! You're unscrupulous! Every time I'm about to shout 'start' and release my martial soul, you sneak attack before I even call out!"
Xiao Wu, pinned beneath Tang Qinghe, was in unbearable pain.

[Xiao Wu Resentment +4888]
Only this many points? Looks like this rabbit still doesn't know the hardships of society... Tang Qinghe muttered inwardly, released Xiao Wu, stood up, and retorted, "Did you shout 'start' before you attacked last time?"
Xiao Wu's pretty face flushed red. She had shouted last time, but only after striking first, then shouting afterward.
But how could she admit that to a six-year-old little brat?
"I don't care! Today, I, your lady, will settle this with you in a spirit ring battle. You lost. From now on, you have to call me Sister Xiao Wu." Xiao Wu rubbed her aching shoulder, extended her jade finger, and pointed at Tang Qinghe.
"If you lose, from now on I'll call you Flowing Rabbit." Tang Qinghe said.
[Xiao Wu Resentment +8888]
Flowing Rabbit?
Xiao Wu's gaze sharpened as she finally released her martial soul.
"Less talk. Xiao Wu, one-year spirit beast, martial soul: rabbit, rank twelve, one spirit ring. Please advise."
As her words fell, a faint pink light radiated from Xiao Wu's body. She transformed into a humanoid rabbit, a ring of yellow light rising beneath her. This was the hallmark of a spirit body.
"Tang Qinghe, martial soul: tiger, rank four, spirit master. Please advise."
A faint yellow light emerged. Tang Qinghe was releasing his martial soul for the first time in public, but because he had yet to absorb a spirit essence, his martial soul could not materialize on his body. It only manifested as a yellow light silhouette behind him.
"A hundred-year spirit ring." Wang Can and the others gasped.
They hadn't expected that after Xiao Wu left for a time, she would have already absorbed a spirit essence—and a hundred-year one at that.
Tang Qinghe was only rank four, unable even to materialize his martial soul. This was going to be a huge loss.
On the field, everyone, including Han San, watched Tang Qinghe and Xiao Wu with rapt attention.
When they made their moves, a brilliant light flashed before everyone's eyes.
Han San stared at the spirit ring on Xiao Wu's body, his lips twitching slightly. He hadn't expected that during the time the academy was closed, Xiao Wu had also absorbed a spirit essence.
Now, Tang Qinghe was basically no match for Xiao Wu.
"Begin."
Tang Qinghe looked at Xiao Wu, who had already transformed into a spirit body, without any fear. If it were any other spirit body, facing such a cramped battlefield, Tang Qinghe might have been somewhat wary.
But Xiao Wu was a close-combat-type spirit body. In close quarters, he truly had nothing to fear.
What's more, he was all too familiar with Xiao Wu's "First Spirit Skill: Waist Bow."
"Tang Qinghe, today I'll show you who is the real boss of the Seven Treasures Academy."
As Xiao Wu's voice faded, she had already rushed out.
