Why did you provoke me?

The moment the door opened, all three of them stood in the doorway. The dim light could only illuminate a small corner.

The beautiful woman turned slightly to the side. "Would you like to go in and take a look?"

The lame man frowned. "Aren't you going in?"

The beautiful woman smiled politely, "I'm a regular here, so I won't waste your time."

The cripple looked at the long-haired man and asked, "Shall we go in?" He was clearly opposed.

The long-haired man touched the Overlord sword in his sleeve. "Come in." He was already here; he couldn't let go of the thought until he saw it with his own eyes.

The beautiful woman stepped aside with a cryptic smile. "The energy within the formation has diminished considerably over the years, so hurry up. Don't blame me if anything goes wrong."

The long-haired man, who had already lifted his foot, stopped and turned around. "We're in the same boat. You absolutely mustn't do anything unnecessary, and don't have any unfounded thoughts."

The beautiful woman nodded. "Do you think I need to teach me this? Otherwise, do you think I would willingly stay trapped in this godforsaken place?"

The long-haired man stepped into the small house. "You know that's good."

The beautiful woman glanced at the lame man who remained motionless outside. "Aren't you going in?"

The lame man shook his head. "I already know most of her condition; I don't need to see it for myself."

The long-haired man entered the house, and a foul, fishy smell hit him.

He steadied himself and looked at the unidentified object on the ground.

He didn't get close. How should I put it? At first glance, it was just a lump of rotting flesh reeking of decay. You couldn't tell the head or the feet.

"Is this how you take care of her?" The long-haired man's voice was unreadable, neither happy nor angry.

"What else do you want? Do you want me to serve you?" The beautiful woman's voice came from the doorway.

"Her fate was sealed the moment you threw her in here. And now, what's the point?" The beautiful woman's tone was full of sarcasm.

The long-haired man took a deep breath. "I don't expect you to be exceptionally good to her, but you have to keep her alive."

"Is she dead now?"

The long-haired man choked. The lame man, instead of walking into the house, took two steps back. "Her soul's light has dimmed again."

"Have you finished looking? Aren't you coming out?" The words were spoken to the long-haired man inside the house.

The long-haired man had nothing more to say.

When the three returned to the ground, the beautiful woman led them back to the living room where they had come from.

"People, you've seen it, what's next?" The beautiful woman went inside, changed into a maroon cheongsam, and came out to sit in the main seat.

"She's no good anymore, we have to find a replacement," the cripple commented succinctly.

"Do you think a holy teacher is so easy to find?" The beautiful woman sipped her tea, not even lifting her eyelids.

"I don't believe that after all these years of running this business, you wouldn't be unprepared." The long-haired man also expressed skepticism. "Our companies have plenty of resources."

"We have trained a few holy masters, but they were all raised in a greenhouse. Their souls are not up to standard, so they cannot be used yet," the beautiful woman explained her situation.

"That's better than nothing."

"Then I'll have someone prepare. You two wait here for a moment." The beautiful woman stood up and walked towards the door.

Neither the lame man nor the long-haired man objected. They picked up the tea on the table and took a sip.

As she stepped out of the room, the beautiful woman glanced back, her eyes brimming with undisguised joy.

After a long time, the lame man and the long-haired man realized something was wrong; had the beautiful woman been gone for too long?

The lame man stood up, but as soon as he lifted his leg, he fell to the ground.

The long-haired man was startled and tried to stand up, but his legs were too weak, and he slumped back into the chair.

"What's going on? What is she trying to do?" the lame man cried out in terror.

The long-haired man closed his eyes briefly. "We've probably been ambushed by her."

Why would she scheme against us?

The long-haired man didn't quite understand either.

Jing Ancheng saw his aunt, the beautiful woman, again three days later.

"Cheng'er, what do you think of the bone painter you chose? Is he good at showing potential?"

Jing Ancheng lowered his head. "I haven't spent much time with her, but she seems very mysterious. And the power around her is also very strong."

"Oh, tell me about it." The beautiful woman became interested.

Jing Ancheng showed his lines, "Auntie, look, this is what the people around her taught me."

Under Jing Ancheng's control, the lines constantly split and recombine. They even lifted the teacup on the table into the air.

"I also saw people around her gliding at low altitudes, and she and her sister could even fly in the air at high speeds."

The beautiful woman was stunned. "She's a holy teacher?"

Jing Ancheng shook his head. "It shouldn't be. Jing San, who's with me, can also fly for a while, but he's a man, so he can't be a Saint Master. It must be that her sect's lineage is special."

The beautiful woman fell into deep thought.

"Oh, right, their lines can absorb the alien's energy. Especially her sister, it seems like her level advancement is all thanks to absorbing alien energy," Jing Ancheng added again.

If Yu Meng were here, knowing that everything about her had been told to complete strangers, I wonder what she would think!

After a long silence, the beautiful woman spoke up, "How much trust does she have in you? If you invited them to the Jing family home, would they come?"

Jing Ancheng shook his head. "Those two people invited me when I came this time, but she said she had something urgent to attend to and couldn't come. But when I followed her, I didn't hear anything about what happened."

"Okay, when you go back this time, ask them what they need to advance. Just say that my Jing family sees their talent and plans to invest in them."

"What level is that?"

"They're so special; my Jing family's extraordinary individuals might need their help in the future, so let's designate them as Special Grade for now!"

Jing Ancheng's eyes darkened. As far as he knew, this seemed to be the second person to receive this treatment. The first? It was Xiao Hong, the vice president of the research institute, whom he had met.

"By the way, you said her younger sister is also very talented?"

"Yes. She personally trained her younger sister, and they have a very good relationship. We went to the fourth battlefield this time for her advancement."

"If our Jing family sends another team of people to protect her, will she agree?"

Jing Ancheng shook his head. "She always follows Teacher Yu and is rarely alone. And Jing San is always by her side."

The beautiful woman glanced at him and said, "You're not young anymore. If there's someone suitable, you can pursue them."

Jing Ancheng pursed his lips, his ears turning slightly red. "I have no one to rely on."

"Our Jing family only values ​​her character and talent. As for her family background, I personally don't care that much about it," the beautiful woman continued.

"Really not?" Jing Ancheng repeated, head down.

"I think it's possible." The beautiful woman's tone was full of implication.
