Pretending

"Little Junior Brother, you're way too monstrous! It took me forever to reach Third Grade Perfection, and I still feel like I have a long way to go before the limit. It'll probably take at least another half month..."

She had originally thought she was progressing quickly enough to be considered a genius among her peers.

But compared to Little Junior Brother... this guy was simply a monster!

He went to another world for an assembly and came back having charged straight to the Third Grade Limit!

That put enormous pressure on her as his senior sister!

Qin Yan smiled but did not respond.

He knew that Little Senior Sister's talent was actually exceptionally high, especially her extraordinary aptitude in alchemy. She had never slackened in her martial cultivation either; it was simply that his own circumstances had been somewhat unusual.

"Qin Yan, it seems you gained quite a lot from this trip to the Hidden Dragon Assembly. Your foundation has been tempered until it's even more solid."

Xiao Huo said.

Hearing this, Qin Yan immediately realized that Teacher Xiao Huo clearly did not yet know that he had ultimately won first place at the Hidden Dragon Assembly.

After a moment's thought, Qin Yan suddenly felt that after fighting through life-and-death battles to painstakingly claim first place, then being "warmly sent off" by three Venerables on his return journey and narrowly escaping death, he had fully experienced both the "glory" and the "fright."

Yet after returning to the school, other than himself, there was no one with whom he could share that "shock" and "envy"?

It felt like walking in brocade at night, as though something were missing.

No, he had to show off a little here...

Ah, no, he had to report this "fairly decent" result to his teacher
