The Naughty Senior Sister
Secret Room
'This Miao'er .. is too talented.'
Yan Xu had moved swiftly leaving a shadow behind him. As he twisted and turned through the narrow gap of the formation array in the courtyard, he passed through every formation that Ye Miao'er had set up.
Each formation was neatly arranged, deliberately created a secret gap for the two of them and the calculation of each formation was more complex than his. Yan Xu felt a sense of satisfaction and some sense of inferiority for his junior sister's talent that was too heaven-defying.
Why did he say Ye Miao'er was too talented?
Ye Miao'er himself was unaware of this even though he tried to convey that his junior sister was too talented through action. As the youngest, not only did he learn fast, he had also managed to develop every technique he learned.
Most importantly, he was still very young compared to those who were tens to hundreds of thousands of years old!
It might sound exaggerated and somewhat unrealistic to call his own junior sister too talented. Yan Xu admitted that he felt inferior every time he taught Ye Miao'er new things and the little girl would very easily master or improve them.
However, he still has not given up on being a good senior and will keep trying hard to learn new things and train every insight that exists. Simply swing your sword a thousand times, in order to be equal to a single swing of their talented sword. That was what motivated Yan Xu to eliminate his inferiority for his talent.
'Ye Miao'er has helped me a lot these days. I have to thank him properly after all the troublesome matters are over. I should also thank Uncle Weiyan and Elder Fan for providing useful information. Not to be left behind, I also have to thank myself for the patience that has accumulated a mountain in the face of various trials of life.'
Yan Xu stopped at the narrow gap between the two formation life gates they made.
After noticing the appearance of their formation life gate, he realized Miao'er's artificial life gate was almost chasing after his quality. Armed with a jade token that could control every formation present, his fingers rubbed the surface of the token several times causing the diagram on the surface to change.
At the same time, a hole opened right between the two life gate formations. Yan Xu jumped into the hole, after which the hole closed and returned to its original state.
Unhindered, Yan Xu continued to slide underground towards the secret room. After 300 feet into the depths of the ground, he finally arrived. Right in front of him, there was an entrance to the secret room.
He pushed it open and walked into the 40-square-foot secret room.
Yan Xu took out a jade token to control the formation array and twisted it in his palm. Again, the formation array in the wild changed slightly. The secret underground chamber immediately disappeared in the various gaps around the formation array.
In fact, cultivators with the enlightenment realm who were deliberately looking for this room would not be able to know its location from all directions, unless they destroyed the formation array outside.
This was one of Yan Xu's main destinations in choosing this location as their meeting place.
'Every man always needs a private secret room for their privacy.'
There were ten barrels of spiritual wine in the secret room.
Yan Xu sat on a long sofa and took out hundreds of gourds that were already filled with spiritual wine using energy hands. He put the pumpkins on the table near the sofa. He looked at the ceiling of the room, then took out a jade token once again. After closing his eyes, a three-dimensional structure of the night sky scene filled with stars and moonlight appeared in his mind.
Yan Xu sighed slowly.
"Haah~" Yan Xu sighed as a smile spread across his face. "I feel bad for Junior Sister for making her do so many things for me. This job is absolutely perfect, next time I'll be a little better to him in a few days at this satisfaction."
It was a good thing considering how talented Ye Miao'er was. That was one of the reasons why he trusted so much in her ability that it could turn Yan Xu's dream into reality.
The secret room where no one was watching him, the complex and exquisite array of formations, the added three-dimensional structure of the night sky was very real, all of it had truly come true!
Yan Xu recklessly took the nearby wine gourd and directly gulped them down without pause.
Based on its efficacy, spiritual wine was different from ordinary wine. This type of wine could help to smooth out the circulation of qi energy on the dantian and provide a fresh, supplement-like taste to cultivators. Spiritual wine does not actually make a hangover and its taste depends on the mental condition of the consumer.
The current state of Yan Xu who was feeling depressed and afraid of being tucked away by his youngest beautiful junior sister, made the taste of the spiritual wine even sweeter and cooler. That was why he did not stop sipping spiritual wine until the contents of the gourd ran out then changed to another gourd.
Yan Xu's attempt to rob—uhuk!— confiscated a few barrels of spiritual wine from Lan Xihe's warehouse on the grounds that her teacher drank too much to the point of being severely beaten, finally paying off as well today.
Maybe if he asked right away, Lan Xihe could just give it to him directly. However, Yan Xu who had doubts about his own teacher, did not want to make himself look very dependent and asked for items from his teacher.
With that complex nature, he had licked his own saliva for always selling his teacher's name when meeting stronger parties, especially those from Nine Su.
Recalling Ye Miao'er's extremely solid foundation of formations, he peered at every corner of the secret room using his divine consciousness.
Valuable materials such as spirit stones and specially purified treasures. As all the foundations were interconnected, the power of heaven and earth was activated. That allowed the large array to have many different effects.
The formation array was very broad from within. Yan Xu knew that he had not learned enough about formation arrays until he could be called a formation expert.
He should have foresight and could not lose in the calculation of the layout of the formation array, nor the beauty of the formation from his growing junior sister.
However, it remained that he could not help but feel envy and inferior towards that heaven-defying talent. Moreover, with each passing day, Ye Miao'er would become even more rapidly growing than before. Unlike her who had to tread a thousand steps in order to reach a step speed that belonged to Ye Miao'er.
In roughly 5 to 10 years, Yan Xu might be chased if he still slackened in cultivating or adding to his insights. He was bad at calculating formations and art, but still he wanted to pursue the entire field and be able to stand parallel or above the students. That childish nature was Yan Xu's personal ego as the oldest direct disciple.
At this moment, he was thinking, 'What if Junior Brother only needs a few more months to surpass me?'
Just take the example from today's incident, he had already outperformed Yan Xu in one go on the realm of rune engraving. Though he had been studying it for months in order to apply a rune to an object. Meanwhile, his junior sister only needed one try even when forced to do so.
Of course, as his senior brother, Yan Xu was also happy that he could master it. There was no way he could not feel any pleasure over the success of his junior sister.
However, some of her competitive self will also feel threatened because it serves as a reminder that she is trying harder again.
