Why did you provoke me?

Seeing everyone stand up, Jingyi slammed her hand on the table. "Sit down, everyone. Teacher Yu is only letting Liu Wei go, with Sijiu following. The rest of you wait here."

Jingyi's status is still very high. After all, he is the number one person in this sect. If we don't consider strength, he is the true senior brother.

He spoke, and everyone sat down, but all eyes were on Liu Wei and Si Jiu.

Liu Wei's muscles were tense; he felt that if he failed, he would be a sinner.

He steeled himself and walked out with Si Jiu. The two looked at each other and both let out the breath they had been holding back.

Yu Meng saw two people arrive, but didn't ask why.

She immediately had Liu Wei sit down and relax completely. The domineering lines appeared and slowly merged into Liu Wei's mind.

Liu Wei was always shocked by this scene, no matter how many times he saw it. He just couldn't understand how such a huge beast could get into his head.

Si Jiu stood to the side, breathing very softly, afraid of disturbing Yu Meng.

The domineering lines reached the mark, and the suction cups completely covered it. Then, following Yu Meng's instructions, the absorbed wood core energy was slowly injected into the mark.

Three seconds later, the mark darkened, indicating this step was successful. The next step is absorption.

Yu Meng calmed her breathing. She hadn't succeeded yet, so she couldn't be careless.

She sensed it carefully until the energy of the mark was saturated, then she let the Overlord slowly absorb it.

This time there was no obstruction, and the energy was successfully absorbed back by the Overlord, who also transmitted a pleasant feeling back.

A minute later, Bawang came out and happily rubbed his cheek against Yu Meng's.

Yu Meng checked it carefully again, and sure enough, the mark was gone.

Yu Meng then looked at Si Jiu, who quickly sat down in a chair and relaxed. "Teacher Yu, I'm ready."

The Overlord Lines entered his mind directly, and when he did the same thing again, the Overlord Lines were a tiny bit faster.

Yu Meng glanced at Ba Wang's condition and said, "You guys should go back first. We don't know if this mark will recur. Let's observe for a day before making a decision."

The two stood up. Liu Wei, still daring to speak in front of Yu Meng, asked, "Teacher Yu, is there anything we should be careful about?"

"No need. If there are no side effects, treatment will begin tomorrow."

Liu Wei wisely withdrew.

After walking quite a distance, Si Jiu finally spoke in a low voice, "Boss, didn't you say there was no way when you went back? Is everything alright now?"

Liu Wei glanced at him. "You said it yourself, that was when I was going back. Isn't this now?"

Si Jiu's lips curled up. "That's true." See? It's good to be thick-skinned, isn't it? It's only been a short time since I found out about this, and the problem is already solved.

Those who hadn't arrived were still waiting in the same spot, which must have been quite frustrating. Thinking of this, he walked up to Liu Wei again, "Boss, let's go back and not tell them yet, let them worry for a bit."

Liu Wei stopped and looked at Si Jiu beside him. "Are you sure we won't get beaten up if we do this?"

Si Jiu touched his nose. "That's actually possible. Oh well. Let's go to the bathroom then, I was too nervous just now."

"I advise you not to cause trouble." Liu Wei's smile vanished, and he left after saying that.

What if we don't have a reliable captain? Si Jiu followed Liu Wei helplessly, his face sour.

When everyone saw the two return, they mostly stood up. Seeing Liu Wei's expressionless face and Si Jiu's pale expression behind him, everyone's hearts sank.

Jingyi tried her best to keep her voice steady, "Fourth brother, it didn't work?"

"Huh?" Liu Wei looked at Jingyi in surprise. "It's done."

"It's really done? No need to comfort us, just tell the truth."

"It really worked." Liu Wei looked at Jingyi seriously.

"We need to observe for a while. If there are no problems, treatment can begin tomorrow," Liu Wei added.

No one spoke. Jingyi sighed and patted Liu Wei's arm. "We all understand. Nothing can be accomplished overnight."

"No, it really worked." Liu Wei turned to look at Si Jiu. "Si Jiu, tell them, did it work?"

Si Jiu nodded hurriedly, "Yes, yes, it worked, it really worked."

Jingyi glanced at Sijiu and said, "I know it's done."

Then he waved his hand and said, "Go back and rest. Don't worry, Teacher Yu is thinking of you."

"No, Jingyi, it really worked." Liu Wei emphasized again.

Liu Wei tried to stop his brothers from leaving, but they all walked around him. One of his teammates even patted him on the shoulder, saying, "Captain, we know, no need to repeat ourselves."

Liu Wei looked at Si Jiu, "What's wrong with them? Why don't they believe me?"

Si Jiu also looked regretful, "I don't know, we told the truth!"

Jingyi, who was walking at the back, stopped when she heard their conversation. "Are you telling the truth?"

Liu Wei: "Yes, how could I lie about something so important?"

Jingyi's fist hardened. "Then what was with those sour faces you had when you came in?"

Liu Wei and Si Jiu exchanged glances. "No? We just came in normally."

Jingyi was so angry that she raised her hand to punch them both, but Liu Wei also felt wronged, "I said as soon as I came in that it was done, but you didn't believe me."

Jingyi slammed the door shut and left.

Si Jiu blinked and leaned closer to Liu Wei. "Boss, Fourth Brother, it has to be you. You told them the truth, but they don't believe it themselves. This isn't something we did to keep them up at night."

Liu Wei kicked him, saying, "You're so smug. I'm the captain. They don't believe what I say. You think this is a good thing? Next time there's something like this, you'll be last in line."

Liu Wei stormed off, looking annoyed.

Si Jiu stood there feeling wronged. "What did I do? Why do I have to be last in line next time?"

……

Niannian saw the message Yu Meng sent and ran back quickly, "Fourth Sister, it really worked?"

"Yeah, I've tried it, but I don't know if it will rebound?"

"Fourth sister, teach me, I want to try it too."

Yu Meng didn't hold back and directly taught the method to Niannian.

Niannian already possessed a thin ring on her finger, and the little gray line's ability was absorption. She handled this task with great ease.

When it was over, Niannian was still a little incredulous. "Fourth Sister, was this really that easy? Why did that old man Nangong make things sound so mysterious? I worried for nothing."

Yu Meng didn't speak. Knowing the method was easy, but figuring it out was the hardest part. But she didn't need to tell Niannian any of this.

The next morning, Liu Wei led everyone to Yu Meng's office.

Several people looked at Jingyi. "Boss, didn't you say it didn't work out? We're all gathered here, won't Teacher Yu be annoyed?"

Jing glanced at them expressionlessly. "Who told you it didn't work out?"

"No, Liu Wei and Si Jiu came back yesterday..."

Jingyi interrupted him, "Did he say it wouldn't work out?"

"Huh?" After thinking about it carefully, "They agreed."

Jing glanced at him but didn't say anything.

"Oh no, why are they making that face?" someone muttered.
