Lu Fan was quite surprised. After Zhan Tai Ruo Mei recited the cultivation mantra once, she entered a state of cultivation. Jiang Ruo Xin, standing beside her, shrugged. She had only managed to remember a few lines.
Lu Fan kept a close eye on Zhan Tai Ruo Mei. This child was truly remarkable. The moment she entered her cultivation state, she became like an old monk in meditation, completely lost in herself. Lu Fan initially wanted to probe with his spiritual power but decided against it.
For the entire night, Zhan Tai Ruo Mei sat there motionless. Dawn had broken, and she still showed no signs of waking. Jiang Ruo Xin was about to go and wake her, but Lu Fan quickly stopped her.
It wasn't until late morning that Zhan Tai Ruo Mei slowly opened her eyes, a sharp glint flashing within them.
"Master!" Zhan Tai Ruo Mei looked at Lu Fan and respectfully called out.
Lu Fan and Jiang Ruo Xin were both stunned. How had this child suddenly become like a different person?
Lu Fan's heart trembled even more, a vague suspicion dawning in his mind. "Ruo Mei! How was your cultivation?"
"Thank you, Master! My cultivation went very well!" Zhan Tai Ruo Mei said, standing up and positioning herself respectfully to the side.
"That's good! Let's go out for something to eat. Lu Fan stood up and walked towards the exit."
"Alright!" Jiang Ruo Xin took Zhan Tai Ruo Mei's hand and followed.
Suddenly, Zhan Tai Ruo Mei's small hand reached back and, without touching, grabbed a bottle of drink from the coffee table.
Lu Fan, walking ahead, felt a jolt in his heart. He glanced back at Zhan Tai Ruo Mei. Had this little girl become a master overnight? Telekinesis was something even Grandmasters couldn't achieve.
Zhan Tai Ruo Mei looked flustered, holding the drink, appearing somewhat lost. Jiang Ruo Xin had no idea what had just happened.
"Ruo Mei! Here's a piece of fruit for you!" Lu Fan smiled slightly and handed Zhan Tai Ruo Mei an apple.
"Thank you, Master!" Zhan Tai Ruo Mei quickly said, then reached out to take the apple.
"Why has this child become so well-behaved overnight? She seems to have matured so much," Jiang Ruo Xin said, a little surprised. Yesterday, the child had addressed him as "Big Brother Master" repeatedly, but today she had dropped the "Big Brother."
Lu Fan smiled faintly and turned to walk away.
...
After breakfast, Lu Fan got into the car. "Ruo Mei, you must practice diligently every day. If you have any questions, call your Master."
"Lu Fan! Drive carefully on the road!" Jiang Ruo Xin reminded him.
"Okay! Sister Ruo Xin, bye. Ruo Mei, bye!" Lu Fan waved to Jiang Ruo Xin and Zhan Tai Ruo Mei and drove off.
"Master! Bye!" Zhan Tai Ruo Mei stood obediently beside Jiang Ruo Xin and waved at Lu Fan.
"Ruo Mei! What's wrong with you today? Didn't you used to cling to Big Brother Master?" Jiang Ruo Xin asked, puzzled.
"I... I'm a big girl now! Boys and girls should maintain distance!" Zhan Tai Ruo Mei said with an eye-roll.
"You... You little rascal!" Jiang Ruo Xin was left speechless. The child claimed to be grown up and talked about maintaining distance between boys and girls?
Lu Fan drove to the tea house.
The tea house was doing good business. Li Jingjing seemed to have truly grown up. Dressed in her work attire, she had a certain aura of a senior white-collar worker sitting in her office.
Knock, knock, knock... Chen Bei knocked on the door and then pushed it open, entering the office.
"Brother Fan!" Li Jingjing looked up, saw Lu Fan, and jumped up, happily running over to give him a big hug.
Well, that little rascal had grown up, but this young lady was acting like a child.
Lu Fan looked utterly helpless.
"Brother Fan! Did Sister Ru Yan come with you?" Li Jingjing cautiously peeked behind Lu Fan and asked in a low voice.
"No, she didn't. What's up?" Lu Fan asked.
"Hehe! That's great! Brother Fan, will you practice with me today?" Li Jingjing said, suddenly beaming.
"Alright! I'll check if you've been slacking off recently," Lu Fan replied.
"Oh, right, Brother Fan! What are we eating tonight? I... I want to eat barbecue again! And I want to play with Second Sister. Brother Fan, have you seen Second Sister?" Li Jingjing asked excitedly, pulling Lu Fan and bombarding him with questions.
"Alright, we'll go eat barbecue!" Lu Fan said.
"Brother Fan is the best!" Li Jingjing exclaimed, her excitement palpable.
"Jingjing! Have you encountered any obstacles in your cultivation recently? Also, what's going on with your mind-reading ability?" Lu Fan suddenly asked.
"Cultivation? I don't feel anything special. It's just that my aptitude isn't very good, so my cultivation speed isn't fast," Li Jingjing said, pouting slightly.
"Jingjing! I want to examine your body to see if you have any special talents that haven't been developed yet, alright?" Lu Fan suddenly said. Both Li Jingjing and Zhan Tai Ruo Mei possessed special abilities, so Lu Fan wanted to know if Li Jingjing was similar to Zhan Tai Ruo Mei.
"Examine my body!?" Li Jingjing's pretty face flushed instantly. She then bit her lip and shyly nodded.
"Uh... alright! Think whatever you want," Lu Fan realized the girl had misunderstood. However, he was too lazy to explain. He placed a hand on Li Jingjing's head and said, "Jingjing, just try to relax as much as possible!"
Whoosh... A wisp of Lu Fan's divine sense slowly probed into Li Jingjing's sea of consciousness.
Hoo... Lu Fan suddenly let out a breath, slowly steadying his mind.
A seal? Li Jingjing's sea of consciousness was inaccessible. Li Jingjing was different from Zhan Tai Ruo Mei; at least Lu Fan could see that playful child in Zhan Tai Ruo Mei's consciousness. But Li Jingjing's sea of consciousness was completely empty! It seemed to be sealed. Forcibly breaking the seal might endanger Li Jingjing's safety.
What were the origins of these two girls? Their seas of consciousness were sealed. Zhan Tai Ruo Mei's seal seemed to have been opened, but Li Jingjing's seal couldn't be broken through cultivation. Hoo... Lu Fan took a deep breath. The world seemed to be filled with increasingly wondrous things. .oγg
"Brother Fan! You... you checked my body like this?" Li Jingjing clearly didn't understand. It seemed like you didn't check Liu Ru Yan's body like this. Why is it different with me?
"Yes! The examination is complete! Let's go, we're going to eat barbecue!" Lu Fan nodded and said.
Soon, the two arrived at a barbecue restaurant, ordered some skewers, grilled fish, and other dishes, and began to eat.
"Brother Fan! A couple of days ago, I accidentally overheard two customers talking. They seemed to want to go to Kunlun Mountain to seek immortals. They also mentioned looking for some kind of gem!" Li Jingjing suddenly said in a low voice.
"Going to Kunlun Mountain?" Lu Fan's eyes lit up.
