"Alright, hurry up and go take a bath!" The Azure Emperor waved his hand, motioning for the two disciples to leave. "Practice on your own these days, and wait for your Senior Brother to return before coming to see me."
"Yes," the two replied, bowing respectfully before retreating.
On their way back to their respective cave abodes, Yue'er excitedly recounted to her brother, Muchen, everything she had encountered during her days outside, including how she had cleverly acquired those crystal cores.
"Brother, did you encounter anything interesting outside?" Yue'er asked, her eyes wide with curiosity.
At her question, Muchen's expression shifted. "I met a lady," he began. "She looked very weak, but she was actually incredibly strong and powerful. Meeting her made me understand something."
Yue'er blinked, her curiosity piqued. "What did you understand?" she asked.
