C5 A Failed Lesson!

"Why?"

Ye Ning teased with a chuckle.

"What's this? Little missy thinks she can tell me what to do?"

He hadn't expected the girl to be so naive.

Ah, well, it figures!

In the original story, she was manipulated by "this great devil" and ended up imprisoning her own Master in the later stages.

"No, that won't do!"

"Senior Brother, if you become a monk, that's betraying our Master."

"Master would beat you to a pulp!"

The girl spoke with earnest, yet a playful smile crept across her brow.

So, she was feigning ignorance with me, too.

Ye Ning stopped paying her any mind and tidied up his appearance.

Chen Qingwei, growing impatient, pressed on, "Senior Brother, why did you shave your head?"

In his mind, Ye Ning thought, "Because it's clean, refreshing, and downright cool."

But that wasn't something he could outright say.

Instead, he asked, "Junior Sister, how do you see the Irontalons faring these days?"

Chen Qingwei cocked her head to the side and responded naturally, "The Irontalons?"

"They're doing great!"

"With Master at the helm, our sect is thriving."

Ye Ning shook his head internally, "This girl is just too innocent."

"Maybe we should rename her Chen Naivety."

Hold on!

This is the perfect chance to guide my junior sister!

According to the original story, Ye Ning's descent into darkness was heavily influenced by his Master's fervent hopes.

Jin Lingzi had invested too much hope in Ye Ning.

Coupled with Ye Ning's own resentment and determination, as well as Master's profound expectations, he was pushed down a path he never should have taken.

"If I'm committed to change, I must start with the small details!"

The devil within was no longer an issue for him.

It was Master's expectations that needed addressing!

"I can mentor Chen Naivety!"

After all, this girl is the daughter of an Immortal World heavyweight.

Sharing a bit of the burden shouldn't be a problem, right?

"If my memory serves, she even ends up romancing a handsome junior brother later on."

The name of that Junior Brother escapes me.

But as the story goes, Ye Ning's demise was partly due to him!

"Pfft, Junior Sister is too young for romance."

This is the age for striving!

The time to focus on cultivation and fortify our sect!

So, as her Senior Brother, I ought to set her straight, no, educate her properly.

This is what you call fostering ideological and moral education.

Ye Ning looked at Chen Qingwei, shaking his head in resignation, "Qingwei, when will you finally grow up?"

"Ah?"

Chen Qingwei froze, taken aback by the disappointment etched on her Senior Brother's face.

What's wrong?

Did I say something incorrect?

Our Irontalons truly is on the rise!

At that moment, Ye Ning spoke with gravity, "Qingwei, you're only seeing the surface, thinking that the Irontalons is on the up and up."

"But you're oblivious to the perils of the Cultivation World."

Hearing this, Chen Qingwei's demeanor turned serious.

"Go on, Senior Brother, I'm listening."

"First off, you're aware of our Irontalons' history."

"I am!" Chen Qingwei's expression grew stern.

"Our Irontalons was once the preeminent sect in the Mystic Yellow World." That's a source of pride for every disciple!

"Sadly, after two great disasters, the Irontalons has seen better days."

"But we have Master!"

Chen Qingwei's admiration for Master Jin Lingzi was nothing short of blind devotion.

She had an innate trust that Jin Lingzi would surely restore the Irontalons to their former glory.

"So tell me, where does the Irontalons stand in the Mystic World hierarchy?"

"Uh, they're upper class... Uh, more like upper-middle class."

In the current orthodox cultivation world, there are four major sects.

They are the Floating Temple, Heavenly Dragon Valley, Jade Clear Mountain, and the Supreme Dao.

And the Irontalons, as it stands, falls short of their stature.

"And what about the current state of affairs?"

"Don't beat around the bush with me."

Chen Qingwei's mouth puckered slightly.

"Right now, the Devil Dao is in ascendance."

"Since Changkong Wuji of the Evil Devil Clan burst onto the scene a century ago, the Righteous Dao has been increasingly oppressed."

Ye Ning nodded in approval.

"It's impressive that you're aware of Changkong Wuji."

Changkong Wuji is the foremost figure in the Devil Dao today.

He's hailed as a once-in-an-epoch prodigy of the Devil Dao.

He's even proclaimed, "Without me, Changkong Wuji, the Devil Dao would be in perpetual darkness."

The old adage goes that evil shall not overcome the righteous.

Historically, the Righteous Dao has always kept the Devil Dao in check.

But over the last century, the Evil Devil Dao has been gaining ground.

The four great orthodox sects are struggling to hold their own.

In the context of this story, Changkong Wuji reaches his zenith in the middle stages, even vanquishing the leaders of the four great sects!

And soon, he's set to make a significant move that will deal a heavy blow to the Righteous Dao.

As for what becomes of Changkong Wuji later on, that's a tale for another time.

"Also, there's talk of Old Snake Xuanming from the Demon Clan stirring back to life."

"Good, you've clearly dedicated yourself to learning these past three years."

Chen Qingwei clenched her teeth, thinking to herself that it was all her Master's doing.

In her eyes, her Master was even more daunting than Changkong Wuji.

Ye Ning sighed deeply, "The Devil Dao thrives while the Righteous Dao wanes."

"And my Irontalons, once the preeminent sect of the Mystic World, who will the Devil Dao target first?"

"Ah!" Chen Qingwei's face registered shock, her cheeks flushing.

She had a sudden realization.

Everyone knows it's easier to squeeze the softest fruit.

And their Irontalons Sect was as vulnerable as a ripe persimmon.

Any Devil Dao sect that managed to crush the Irontalons could then boast, "My sect has vanquished the Mystic World's foremost righteous power!"

Even if it's a shadow of its former self.

"Junior sister, you must redouble your cultivation efforts from now on!"

Chen Qingwei's face took on a grave expression.

But she softly countered, "But, but our Irontalons has Master and you, Senior Brother!"

Her eyes lit up when she mentioned Senior Brother, her admiration for him absolute.

"With Senior Brother here, our Irontalons is destined to rise again!"

"Senior Brother, you must strive with all your might."

Chen Qingwei finished, her gaze fixed on Ye Ning, full of veneration.

Ye Ning was momentarily taken aback.

"Hold on!"

It's my responsibility to instill in this young girl the importance of diligent cultivation.

How did this girl end up reverse-brainwashing me?

Is this what they call the happiness that comes with twice the stress?

She's really pulling one over on her Senior Brother!

"No way, I've got to make this girl feel some pressure!"

Right now, her sense of security is just too overwhelming.
