Shower gel?

It smells a bit like that lazy senior sister...wait...

Ye Chun?

At that moment, Ji Jue's eyes widened.

He stiffly raised his head.

His unfocused pupils shrank, and his blurred vision gradually cleared, revealing a familiar face looking at him, just inches away.

He lowered his head and saw the slender five fingers he held in his hand, with sunlight reflecting off the ivory-white nails, emitting a faint glow.

"Had enough?"

Ye Chun tilted her head, smiled, and curiously asked, "Besides 'smells a bit like the lazy senior sister,' do you have any last words to say?"

Ji Jue dropped his hand as if shocked.

Instinctively raised his hands in surrender, still wanting to struggle a bit before facing Strong Hand Skull Splitting.

Then, a basket was thrown into his arms, followed by a towel, toothbrush, soap, and shampoo. Finally, Ye Chun rummaged through the cabinet and found a bottle of shower gel.

"Here, citrus lime scent...your pick."

She pointed towards the guest bathroom, "You smell rank, go take a shower. After that, I'll help you with the gutting."

"Okay."

Ji Jue nodded, obedient like a chicken.

He nodded and bowed, picked up the bath basket, and fled as if his life depended on it.

After more than half an hour, Ji Jue, freshly showered and changed, sat in the teacher's study, nervously awaiting the results.

In the silence, only the sound of pages flipping could be heard.

After a long while, Professor Ye slowly raised her hand, took off her glasses, and instead of angrily banging the table, she nodded slowly.

At that moment, Ji Jue couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

Cold sweat almost poured out.

Although personal growth is encouraging, the nightmare of cram-style lessons was too overwhelming. By now, he couldn't even count how many papers and exam questions he had gone through or how many theses and notes he had tackled.

"At this rate, it's roughly at a passable level."

Ye Xian said slowly, "The rest can be covered after the exam."

Instantly, Ji Jue's heart sank, his vision darkened.

Feeling hopeless.

"Do we still need to cover more?"

Then, he heard Professor Ye's words, "At this pace, after the craftsman exam, we can roughly start—"

She paused, picked up her teacup, took a sip, and said slowly:

"—studying the 'Xiang Sword Chapter.'

In the brief silence, Ji Jue's pupils shone with crimson light, saliva almost dripping.

Instantly, insatiable.

Tutor, tutor, tutor!

Tutor to the max!

It was just more tutoring, I can jump and spin around while tutoring!

At this moment, his mind was occupied by the three words spoken by Professor Ye.

Xiang Sword Chapter! Xiang Sword Chapter!! Xiang Sword Chapter!!!

Unlike the basic theories of modern alchemy and the skills fought for by Professor Ye from many craftsmen,

This was the unique skill of Ye Xian, and unlike the Dissociation Technique which she developed herself, it was an unadulterated Ye family secret!

Just looking at the [Ganjiang] and [Moye] matrixes, one could see the close relationship between the Ye family heritage and swords.

The "Xiang Sword Talk" she had given him earlier was merely a simple introduction to the shape and concept for beginners; the "Xiang Sword Chapter" was the true core.

Although it was called the Xiang Sword Chapter, it actually consisted of "Xiang Inclusion" and "Sword Explanation" parts.

The latter, "Sword Explanation," records the structure, analysis, blessing series, weaknesses, defects, and countermeasures of many famous swords from the chaotic era to several decades ago.

The former, "Xiang Inclusion," is a collection of many secrets summarized by the Ye family over thousands of years of sword forging.

Although Ye Xian has already pioneered her own path, no longer following the direction of her predecessors, just looking at those dusty, rusty, yet sharp enough to kill thousands of themselves without nicking wouldn't break, one can see the value of the "Xiang Sword Chapter."

Now consider the many Heavenly Artisan swords mentioned in "Xiang Sword Talk."

Like Juque and Chun Jun, Zhanlu and Fish Gut...

If he truly mastered them, he might be able to fight Jian Yuan, the old man someday, seek revenge, and let him taste his big baby!

Instantly, Ji Jue's competitive spirit skyrocketed!

Grind! Grind! Grind! Grind! Grind!!!!

His eyes were so red that Ye Chun got scared.

She waited until he laughed wildly and ran out of the workshop for a long time, then asked, "Wow, Aunt, what did you give him this time? I'm afraid during the association's spot check, his stimulant test will be off the charts."

"Nothing much."

Ye Xian nonchalantly flipped a page of the newspaper, "I just planned to teach him the 'Xiang Sword Chapter,' let him see some good stuff, so he won't make a fuss when he sees anything random outside."

"Already?!"

Ye Chun was shocked, then quickly realized something was off, "Wait, shouldn't you teach me this first!"

"..."

So, Professor Ye folded the newspaper and gave a deathly stare:

"Yeah, why would I?"

There's an idiot, crowned as the Family Head, with deep family knowledge, carried and fed by a master since young, but didn't learn a single family tradition, too embarrassing, but I won't say who.

The idiot shrank his head guiltily, "Aunt, you know me... I'm really not cut out for this!"

Ye Xian sighed helplessly.

As they say, you can't make mud stick to a wall; force it, and neither the mud nor the wall would like it.

Even if you force a cow to drink water, after many attempts, the cow might get choked, and your hands would be sore.

This 'Ye Chun, you are the Family Head!' and 'Aunt, you'll regret it!' cycle has happened countless times since Ye Chun could read.

Even stubborn Ye Xian had to accept that some are inherently insulated from the ember.

She gave up.

Fortunately, there's always a way out; her family's idiot toured around and accidentally picked up a ember-chosen one.

An ancestor's hard work and heritage won't end here.

"But, he's only been learning for less than half a year..."

Ye Chun poked her head out again, curious, "Can he really pass the craftsman exam?"

"You said it yourself, it's the craftsman exam, not a master's assessment."

Ye Xian answered indifferently, "Even Gustav, if he's got any eyes in his head, wouldn't go against reality. With his current capabilities, a bit more effort, and he might break through and establish himself just like me, how could he not pass?"

There's no doubt he'll pass.

Just a matter of ranking.

But...

"Message him—"

Ye Xian turned around and looked at her homegrown idiot, "—if the ranking is too low, prepare for extra sessions of Spiritual Attack and Defense class."

Ye Chun immediately nodded furiously.

Yes, yes, that's it!

This grind dog only makes rice expensive staying in the world, should be thoroughly tortured, beaten, and can't die easy!

Quickly, Ye Chun poked her head out again, "Aunt, he asked how low is too low?"

In the afternoon sunlight, Ye Xian raised her head, thought for a moment.

"Anything but first."

She said, "Counts."
