Hearing this, Tang Xiaotang opened her eyes wide and asked confusedly, "But I always covered my face with a fox's tail. How could they recognize me?"
Yu Lian looked at her new student and said slowly, "Everyone has their own unique mark, especially for cultivators. You can think of it as a smell."
Ning Que did not participate in the discussion. He sat silently in the cliff cave and looked calm, but his heart was in turmoil because of Third Sister's words.
When he was still an ordinary student in the front yard, he met Yu Lian in the Sword Forest. Yu Lian showed her disapproval when she knew that he wanted to enter the Second floor of the Academy. She said that if he gave up, she could introduce a powerhouse who was not weaker than Liu Bai to be his teacher.
Liu Bai, the Sage of Sword, was recognized as the most powerful person in the world. Yu Lian lived in the Academy and stayed away from people all year round. How could she know a powerhouse who was not weaker than Liu Bai? Ning Que clearly remembered his shock when he heard this and her sigh of pity when he said that he still wanted to enter the Second floor of the Academy.
What Yu Lian said today sounded ordinary, but it was full of confidence and pride. Because it meant that since Tang Xiaotang was her student, it would be unreasonable if she could not defeat or even kill the Tao Addict, Ye Hongyu in the future.
Her expression was still tranquil. She was not deliberately arrogant in front of anyone. Instead, she had casually said those words based on some kind of almost instinctive self-judgment.
It was this kind of casual and ordinary that made her more unfathomable.
Thinking of the conversation in the Sword Forest, Ning Que could not help but feel a little confused. Everyone in the back of the mountain of the Academy knew that Third Sister's cultivation was in the upper state of Seethrough. Where did her calm confidence come from?
Ning Que thought about it and finally concluded that it was the common temperament of the disciples in the back of the mountain of the Academy. Third Sister was ranked only after Eldest Brother and Second Brother, so she had the right to be unreasonably confident.
He said sincerely, "Senior Sister, you are the first person in the back of the mountain to accept a student. Congratulations."
Yu Lian said, "It's all the teacher's arrangement."
She looked back at Tang Xiaotang and said calmly, "Come and greet Uncle."
Tang Xiaotang walked to the front of the cliff cave and stood a little outside the line. She stopped smiling and bowed with a solemn expression. "Xiaotang greets Youngest Martial Uncle."
Ning Que noticed that the little girl's old fur coat had been replaced by a brand-new Academy uniform. The old leather boots on her feet had been replaced by a pair of small green cloth shoes, which looked very refreshing.
As he was sizing her up, he suddenly heard the three words' Youngest Martial Uncle '. For some reason, his mood suddenly became extremely comfortable. A moment later, he understood where this wonderful feeling came from.
Firstly, he didn't have to worry about having a junior sister. Secondly, he was one generation older than Tang Xiaotang. Wouldn't that mean that the Devil's Doctrine World Wayfarer would have to respect him in the future?
The most important thing was that for the Academy, Youngest Uncle was a title with special meaning.
There was a Youngest Uncle in the back of the mountain of the Academy. He was the most remarkable figure in the world and a legendary figure that Second Brother still worshipped.
Now Ning Que had become the Youngest Uncle in the eyes of the disciples of the next generation.
In every generation, there was only one Junior Brother, so naturally, there could only be one Junior Uncle. Thinking that from now on, there might be even more people who would constantly greet him respectfully and call him Junior Uncle, he felt very proud.
After bowing, Tang Xiaotang straightened up and found that Ning Que's expression kept changing, as if he was extremely intoxicated. Naturally, she couldn't guess what he was thinking at this time.
They had met in the Wilderness and reunited in Chang 'an. She was most familiar with Ning Que in the Academy. Moreover, they were similar in age, so it was really difficult to treat him as a real teacher. She tilted her head and looked at him. She felt that his expression was so funny that she couldn't help giggling.
Ning Que looked at her and said, "Call me Youngest Martial Uncle again."
Of course, Tang Xiaotang didn't want to call him Youngest Martial Uncle. In her opinion, a weak and shameless guy like Ning Que was not qualified to be her teacher.
Previously, because of the teacher's order, and she had to meet everyone when she first entered the Academy, she restrained her temper and bowed to call him Youngest Martial Uncle.
"Call me Youngest Martial Uncle."
Ning Que didn't notice the change in her expression. He said happily, "I like to hear people call me Youngest Martial Uncle."
"I'm the only third-generation disciple of the Academy."
Tang Xiaotang gritted her teeth and looked at him. "There's no one else."
Ning Que said, "So you should come to the cliff cave to visit me more often and call me Youngest Martial Uncle."
Tang Xiaotang said angrily, "If you do that again, I won't come to play with you anymore."
Ning Que said proudly, "Now I'm more senior than you. You have to listen to me."
Tang Xiaotang said angrily, "Don't forget that I'm the first among the third-generation disciples of the Academy. That means I'll be the Eldest Sister of the Academy in the future. Youngest Martial Uncle, if you don't want your children or beloved disciples to be bullied by me for the rest of their lives, you'd better not bully me too much now."
Ning Que was startled and said with emotion, "The prosperous Central Plains is indeed a place that erodes bones and souls. A little girl from the Wilderness who knows nothing about worldly affairs has become sly in such a short time. It's really boring."
Tang Xiaotang ignored him and walked to Sangsang. She took her little hand and pulled her into the hut. She began to care about how Sangsang was doing on the cliff plateau and what she needed her to do.
Sangsang was not used to her cheerfulness and enthusiasm. After a while, she remembered that they had agreed to be friends outside the hut on the other side of the mountain a month ago. Her little face showed a happy smile.
She told Tang Xiaotang about her life on the cliff plateau. Although it sounded boring, it seemed that everything was fine. Tang Xiaotang felt relieved after making sure that her best friend was not bullied by Youngest Martial Uncle Ning Que and did not suffer any hardships. She pulled Sangsang to sit on the ground and began to play.
Sangsang was less than fifteen years old, and Tang Xiaotang was even younger. Both of them were very simple. They were actually still little girls. They played stone chess, which was the favorite game of children.
At the entrance of the cliff cave, Senior Sister Yu Lian was looking through the learning problems Ning Que had memorized these days. After a moment of silence, she raised her head and began to explain some of the principles in a low voice.
Ning Que listened attentively to his Senior Sister's elegant and soft voice. He found that many things that he could not understand were suddenly enlightened after her concise explanation and reminder.
It was obvious that Yu Lian did not understand the Great Spirit, but she was very knowledgeable about the circulation of the Qi of Heaven and Earth, especially the subtle differences between different materials. Moreover, she was extremely knowledgeable, so she could easily tell Ning Que about the cultivation past or exquisite metaphors. What shocked Ning Que the most was that this Senior Sister's way of thinking was so ethereal. She could often find the possibility in the impossible, and see the beautiful scenery in the end of the world.
Time passed slowly, and the sunlight outside the precipice gradually became stronger. Ning Que was immersed in the scenery that his Senior Sister had pointed out for him and could not extricate himself. His admiration for his Senior Sister had reached an extreme level. He thought to himself that she was indeed a woman who was second only to his two Senior Brothers in the back of the mountain of the Academy. Whether it was knowledge, wisdom or vision, she was so powerful that even Chen Pipi was not as good as her.
…
…
Yu Lian's lessons were always concise and clear without any nonsense. It was just past noon and she had already answered all of Ning Que's questions.
Without waiting for Ning Que's thanks or any small talk, she calmly stood up and called out Tang Xiaotang in the hut. She nodded slightly to the cave and then floated down the mountain.
Between the narrow and steep cliff, two petite figures and two loose Academy uniforms of the same style appeared and disappeared from time to time. It did not take long for them to arrive at the waterfall.
Previously in the hut on the cliff plateau, Tang Xiaotang played with Sangsang and asked her to play stone chess with her.
Stone chess was a simple game that all children from the Wilderness to the Great River Kingdom could play. Because of its simplicity, there were often no rules for winning or losing. However, she had not won a single round!
Tang Xiaotang was a strong-willed and competitive girl from the Devil's Doctrine. At the beginning, she lost more than ten rounds in a row. If it were someone else, they would probably feel bored and give up in the face of such a simple game. However, she refused to give up and insisted on playing with Sangsang. In the end, she lost one hundred and twenty-nine rounds!
It was such a simple game of stone chess, but she had lost one hundred and twenty-nine rounds in a row. Tang Xiaotang could not figure out how it happened. No matter how strong-willed she was, she could not help but show some frustration on her face. She looked at her teacher and asked in distress, "Teacher, am I stupid?"
Yu Lian walked slowly from the edge of the cliff to the narrow gorge. She said, "You are not stupid. You just foolishly chose the wrong opponent."
Tang Xiaotang followed her from a distance and asked curiously, "I know Sangsang is the successor of the Divine Priest of Light. But playing chess is not cultivation. How could she not win a round?"
Yu Lian said calmly, "In the past decades, only the Divine Priest of Light possessed true wisdom on the Peach Mountain of the West-Hill Divine Palace. The successor he chose was naturally extraordinary. As for why she couldn't even win a single round … it's because she treated you as a true friend. That's why she was very serious."
Hearing that Sangsang treated her as a real friend, Tang Xiaotang showed a happy smile on her childish face. She bounced like a naughty stone and chased after Yu Lian. Her previous frustration and sadness were blown into the abyss by the wind in the gorge and could not be found anymore.
Thinking that her good friend stayed on the cliff all day long, Tang Xiaotang suddenly became unhappy again. She complained, "Ning Que is such a shameless guy. It's okay that he is imprisoned, but he is also a burden to Sangsang …"
Yu Lian stopped and said, "He is your Youngest Uncle. How can you call him by his name?"
Tang Xiaotang stuck out her tongue behind her and explained, "I am used to calling him Ning Que."
Yu Lian said calmly, "If you do it again after teaching, you will be punished according to the rules of the Academy."
Tang Xiaotang was slightly surprised and asked, "How?"
Yu Lian said, "Walk to the top of the waterfall and then jump down."
Tang Xiaotang looked at the silver waterfall not far away and said sadly, "It seems a bit high."
Yu Lian said, "One hundred and twenty-nine times."
