"Sister Yuhuan, you flatter me..."
Seeing Jiang Che earnestly trying to fool his sister Yu Huan, and the fact that Yu Huan actually believed the scoundrel's words, Ali pursed her lips and chuckled, covering her red lips to try not to laugh out loud.
Ali didn't believe Jiang Che's statement at all!
Although she knew that her husband was very talented, she didn't think he was that talented.
Although she knew the reason very well, Ali had no intention of telling Yang Yuhuan directly.
After all, these are all private matters between her and her good brother.

056: Ji Xiaoman, the Number One Genius Girl of Jixia Academy (Seeking flowers and favorites)
The land of vying for supremacy, the Jixia Academy.
Jixia Academy is located in the desolate northern mountains, where the mountains are vast and the peaks are layered and undulating, with steep terrain that seems to have no end.
Chaoxia Peak, its peaks soaring into the clouds, shrouded in mist, its body gleaming under the sunlight, with birds occasionally flying by, their cries echoing for a long time.
Above the cliff top, lush green trees provide shade, and a hundred flowers bloom in vibrant colors, creating a scene resembling a fairyland.
Inside a villa, a young girl with long, golden hair lay on the lawn, enjoying the sunshine. Her eyes were slightly narrowed, her legs were crossed, and she looked completely relaxed and content.
Without realizing it, the girl felt that the sunlight wasn't as bright as before, and subconsciously opened her eyes.
Then he saw an old man with white hair and beard, and a youthful face standing in front of him.
"Hey old man, you're blocking my sun!"
Ji Xiaoman muttered something in dissatisfaction, even though the other party was her mentor, there was not much respect in her words.
Having been at Jixia Academy for six years, Ji Xiaoman had long since become accustomed to this way of getting along with her teacher.
The two were not like master and apprentice, but more like an old man and a young man, who would fight and bicker every day.
Ji Xiaoman is extremely talented, but she is lazy, likes to slack off, dislikes cultivation, and only practices sporadically.
Even so, Ji Xiaoman, who was only eighteen years old, still managed to cultivate to the late stage of the Golden Core realm under the careful guidance of her teacher, and was only a step away from the peak of the Golden Core realm.
Such terrifying talent is comparable to that of the woman from back then.
Therefore, Ji Xiaoman has always been the pride of the Master.
However, the other party's tendency to slack off at the drop of a hat gave him quite a headache.
He couldn't even remember how many times he had lectured Ji Xiaoman before, but she hadn't changed at all. Whenever she had free time, she would lie down and do nothing, calling it "enjoying life."
"You get up first..."
"I have something to tell you..."
The Master shook his head helplessly, gesturing for Ji Xiaoman to stand up and speak.
"what's up?"
Ji Xiaoman sprang up from the lawn with a limp movement, crossed her arms, spat out the blue silver grass she had been holding in her lips, and spoke in a languid tone, as if she had just woken up.
Three months later, on the Double Ninth Festival, the Great Tang Dynasty will hold the International Lantern Festival...
"You'll represent Jixia Academy at the event then..."
The Master stroked his white beard, smiled faintly, and explained his purpose.
"International Lantern Festival?"
"The Great Tang Dynasty, Chang'an, the grand gathering convened by that woman?"
Ji Xiaoman was stunned for a moment, somewhat surprised.
The words "that woman" were always on the Master's lips. Every time the old man urged her to cultivate, he would use "that woman" as an excuse.
At first, Ji Xiaoman did not understand who the woman the master was talking about was.
As Ji Xiaoman grew older and became more sensible, she learned that the woman's identity was none other than Empress Wu Zetian of the Tang Dynasty!
Ji Xiaoman didn't know what kind of entanglement existed between the Master and Wu Zetian, and she didn't understand why the Master kept using Wu Zetian's name to urge her to cultivate. Later, she learned the whole story by chance.
Wu Zetian was the prized disciple of the ancient sorcerer Jiang Ziya. Both Jiang Ziya and the Master were ancient gods and had a good personal relationship. However, a thousand years ago, due to some differences in their beliefs, they parted ways and never contacted each other again.
Confucius was always secretly competing with Jiang Ziya, and he spared no effort in cultivating himself in order to prove to Jiang Ziya that his judgment was not bad.
He wanted to prove that his talent and future achievements were no less than that woman's.
Although Ji Xiaoman had heard the woman's name repeatedly from the Master, she had never actually met this peerless and powerful empress who commanded respect throughout the land.
It was precisely because the Master placed high hopes on her that Ji Xiaoman would not go too far, at most cultivating for three days and then slacking off for two.
Otherwise, given her personality, she really wouldn't have been able to cultivate to her current level.
...........................
"The Tang Dynasty is located in the Heluo region, which is too far away..."
"Can you not go?"
Ji Xiaoman pouted and asked reluctantly.
Although the International Lantern Festival was indeed a grand and impressive event, she had absolutely no interest in it.
Why waste time going to the lantern festival when you could stay in Jixia and sleep in for a few more days?
"no!"
You absolutely must go this time!
The Master shook his head, his tone leaving no room for argument.
Having finally gotten such a rare opportunity to shine, he naturally wanted Ji Xiaoman to go out and show her face, letting the world know what a genius his teacher's disciple was!
Ideally, this news could also reach Jiang Ziya, that old Bi Deng, so that he would understand that his judgment was no less than Bi Deng's!
"Don't the academy have many other junior brothers and sisters?"
Why does it have to be me who goes?
Ji Xiaoman's beautiful lips twitched slightly, and she asked speechlessly.
"No discussion, you have to be the one leading the team this time!"
"Then you can choose one or two disciples to accompany you..."
"We can bring Dongfang Yao along..."
The Master did not answer Ji Xiaoman's question, his tone remained firm, and then he gave his advice.
Dongfang Yao was also a genius disciple of Jixia Academy. Although he was not as good as Ji Xiaoman, he was still a rare and exceptional genius.
Based on the principle of nurturing each other, the Master naturally hoped that Ji Xiaoman could bring Dongfang Yao along.

057: Little Money-Grubber Xi Shi Jiang (Seeking flowers and favorites)
"Dongfang Yao?"
"That chuunibyou kid?"
"Forget it, I don't want to take him with me..."
"It would be better to bring Xiao Xishi along than to bring him!"
Ji Xiaoman looked disgusted and unwilling.
"what ever…"
"Anyway, as long as you can reach Chang'an City after March and before the Double Ninth Festival..."
The Master didn't say much. He simply uttered a word, and with a flash, he disappeared from Chaoyang Peak.
Xi Shi was brought back to the academy by Zhuang Zhou in his early years. She was also a genius girl, and her cultivation level was only slightly lower than that of Dongfang Yao.
………………
"That wretched old man!"
After the Master left, Ji Xiaoman complained, then transformed into a stream of light and headed directly towards Cuiyun Peak after leaving Chaoyang Peak.
Geniuses are favored everywhere. Ji Xiaoman's talent is more than enough for the Master to nurture her with all his might. Building Chaoyang Peak is just a piece of cake for her.
Xi Shi was different; she lived on Cuiyun Peak, where all the female disciples of the academy resided.
Before long, Ji Xiaoman arrived at Cuiyun Peak.
"Greetings, Senior Sister..."
"Hello, senior sister..."
As she walked along the mountain path, female disciples kept greeting Ji Xiaoman, their eyes filled with admiration as they looked at her.
Clearly, Ji Xiaoman held a high position among these disciples.
The stronger you are, the greater your say, no matter where you go.
Ji Xiaoman's cultivation at the late Golden Core stage is entirely worthy of their respect.
"Um……"
Is Little Xi Shi on Cuiyun Peak?
Ji Xiaoman had a faint smile on her pretty face and didn't put on any airs.
"Reporting to Senior Sister, Xi Shi is in her villa..."
"Just returned from an outing with Zhong Wuyan..."
Having obtained the answer she wanted, Ji Xiaoman did not linger at the training ground and headed directly towards Xi Shi's villa.
Ji Xiaoman and Xi Shi had a very good relationship, like sisters, so she naturally knew the location of Xi Shi's residence on Cuiyun Peak.
