Ye Qiu arrived at a Daoist temple, meeting Li Yizhen's senior brother and senior disciple Miao Ran, who was investigating a case of 'stealing luck' that had affected her family decades ago. After Ye Qiu recounted her experience, Miao Ran deduced that the incident was related to a past entanglement between her and Ye Qiu's father. When Ye Qiu expressed a desire to study Daoist skills, she astonishingly defeated Li Yiming in a spar, impressing Miao Ran enough to accept her as a disciple.

Daoist Miao Ran initially thought her life would just go on like this, but unexpectedly, at this age, she accepted a disciple who confidently promised to take care of her when she’s old. Does she look like someone who’s short of money?

Though she’s not lacking money, she was genuinely happy about it. Thus, she decided to teach this disciple wholeheartedly, regardless of their talent.

"Concentrate and calm your mind, empty your thoughts, and breathe as I’ve taught you. If you’re gifted, you’ll sense a flow of energy."

"Is it like this?" Ye Qiu directly demonstrated this flow of energy, and with a "bang," the table beside them shattered.

Daoist Miao Ran was silent. What kind of monster had she accepted? Since she started her journey, she had never heard of such a strange event. Could her new disciple be the once-in-a-century genius?

No, back then, her master also said she was a once-in-a-century genius. But how long did it take her to sense the energy? Three days or five? How long before this energy could be used? Three or five years?

If she was a genius, then this disciple must be a prodigy!

She struck gold, truly this time!

"What happened?" Daoist Li Shi and Li Yizhen hurried over when they heard the commotion, and Daoist Li Shi was surprised to see a smile on the usually icy face of his junior sister?

Did he really see that right? Wasn’t getting farsighted vision?

"Senior Brother, Qiu’er just cultivated energy and even shattered this table from a distance using it." Daoist Miao Ran said, as if boasting.

Then she watched her senior brother’s jaw drop, feeling finally satisfied. Couldn’t let herself be the only one shocked, right?

"Cultivated energy in just one night? And could materialize it?"

"Yes, Senior Brother, you heard right."

"That’s incredible!" Li Yizhen exclaimed. If not for considering his status, both Daoists Miao Ran and Li Shi felt the same. Such talent was astonishing, in the days when Spiritual Energy was abundant, wouldn’t one become immortal?

Then Daoist Li Shi began to regret, why wasn’t such a genius his disciple? Why didn’t he speak up a day earlier, letting his junior sister get such a boon? After all, the person was brought back by his disciple!

Truly a huge oversight!

Now he could only bitterly thank his junior sister, "Congratulations, Junior Sister, your Daoist Skills will surely flourish now."

"Isn’t Senior Brother skilled in physiognomy? If you’re willing, my disciple is also eager to learn."

"You’d let Ye Qiu also acknowledge me as a master?"

Daoist Miao Ran sneered, "Senior Brother overthinks. As the elder brother, shouldn’t you educate the nephew disciple?"

"So stingy," Daoist Li Shi muttered.

"Hmm?" Miao Ran cast a side glance at him.

Daoist Li Shi immediately responded, "Willing, willing, I’m more than willing to teach such a talented nephew disciple."

"That’s more like it."

"Didn’t you say yesterday you’re still a college student? Well, learn here until school starts, then go back." Daoist Miao Ran arranged.

"Is everything alright with Cheng Yixue? Won’t others get affected?"

"Since she’s acknowledged you, others aren’t in life-threatening danger now. At most, she might absorb some of their Luck. If they keep a righteous heart and don’t willingly give it, it won’t be a big issue. When school starts, I’ll return with you."

Ye Qiu didn’t find any problem with this, but it felt like she forgot something.

Only after returning home did she realize Cheng Qing used this time to reunite with her father, rekindling old feelings.

"Mom, has Dad been coming back this late recently?" She looked at her mom, feeling helpless. But she couldn’t blame her mom. Since birth, she was treated as a treasured daughter, pampered by all. Even though it was an arranged marriage, her husband quickly devoted himself to her after. Therefore, she always trusted Ye Yuanan.

But men, their feelings toward first love are different. Now, Cheng Qing also has secret techniques, rekindling feelings with Ye Yuanan isn’t that difficult, is it?

"Your dad said the company’s been busy lately, why? Suddenly interested in this? He even mentioned to me earlier, saying he trusted you’d focus on the company but didn’t expect you to slack off after a few days. Where are you off to again?"

"I’m not out playing, but learning something new." Ye Qiu pondered for a moment, deciding to be honest with her mom. Leaving her unaware and falling into traps would be bad for her.

"Learning what?"

"Taoist Skills."

"What?" Lin Yan almost thought she misheard, nearly felt Ye Qiu’s forehead to check if she had a fever.

"Taoist Skills, because there were people specifically targeting our family before. Mom, don’t doubt, let me show you."

"You really are..."

"Bang..." Before Lin Yan could finish, a cup on the tea table in the distance shattered.

"Scared me to death, how did it explode out of nowhere? What kind of cup is this, such bad quality?"

"Mom, it’s not the cup’s quality, it was my energy that shattered it just now."

"You think you can fool me?" Lin Yan got angry, "Stop messing around, or your dad might reprimand you when he sees this."

"Mom, trust me, look at that cup again, isn’t it fine despite falling to the ground?" Ye Qiu demonstrated again, "And if I make it shatter, will you believe me?"

"You sure that’s the same cup?" Lin Yan was still skeptical.

Ye Qiu bluntly said, "Check the quality yourself, I’m really not lying to you. I’ve apprenticed myself, and my master is a renowned Daoist in the sect. I can introduce you two when you have time. Remember Li Yizhen who stayed at our place last time? She’s from the Taoist Sect, she pointed out the family’s issues, which is why she came home with me."

"You’re not lying to me?"

"If I’m lying, I’m a puppy."

"So what’s wrong with our family?"

"Do you remember my friend Cheng Yixue? She raised a little ghost and wants to steal my Luck."

"Is this true?" Lin Yan turned serious, "Can Luck also be borrowed? There are really ghosts in this world?"

"Yes, since I naturally have good Luck, that’s why she befriended me, Mom. Do you also not know why I wanted my brother to study abroad?"

"Was your brother also affected?"

"Correct, if not distanced, he might get more attached to her, even turning against the family. Also recently, Dad’s been caught up too."

"Your dad too..." Lin Yan exclaimed, full of horror, "How could she affect your dad?"

"Mom, do you know why I recently asked you why Dad’s been coming home late? It’s not Cheng Yixue’s doing, but her mom. They see our family as prey, that’s why I learned Taoist Skills and invited Master back."
