And before anyone could register what was going on, Lin Huang flew out of the stage with his disciple in his arm.
He put her down when they arrived at his residence, and then excused himself.
Lin Yue enjoyed the tea in front of her and waited for her master to come out and after what seemed to be like an eternity, he came in with something she regarded as a skill scroll.
"What's that? Master." She puts down the teacup.
Lin Huang sit in front of her and handed the skill scroll to her.
Expressionless, she opened it, only to realize that it was not an ordinary skill scroll but a pill-making scroll.
"Ma—Master?" She was surprised and delighted as she met his gaze.
"I know you're talented and was a genius, but I never expected you to be a Monster!" Lin Huang exclaimed, causing Lin Yue's mouth to twitch slightly, she didn't know whether to take his word as a compliment or as an insult.
"How do you even do that?" He asked again.
What happened on the stage earlier was one of the biggest things that Lin Huang will never forget. His disciple could manipulate the Qi of her objects!
"I just did what came to my mind and I don't even know that it was possible until I try." Lin Yue explained truthfully.
In fact, she was also surprised when she realized that she could do that when she was tied by the chain and wasn't able to set herself free, she thought she was going to lose until she thought of Manipulating Hand, the skill could manipulate things, that was what was written on the skill scroll but her master only said that it can manipulate blood, and that means that he never even know that what that skill can manipulate wasn't only blood, but Qi too.
The only drawback was the enormous amount of Qi it requires. Because the moment she used it to manipulate the chain, her remaining Qi dropped in half and then, she used Wen Shao's moment of shock to punch him in the face and then kick him off the stage with all her might.
And that's how she became the winner.
"You're so smart." Lin Huang nodded and silently prayed that she will be able to win in the finals because he already regarded her as his successor, the person that is going to inherit his position as the family head when he ascends to the Immortal Realm.
Lin Yue suddenly frowned, she felt that she had forgotten something important and when Lin Huang saw her frowning, he asked for the reason and she told him.
"Oh, could it be about the second round of the competition?"
Lin Yue stood up and smacked herself on the forehead.
"Stupid me, how can I forget about that." She turned to her master and pleaded softly. "Master, please send me back there."
Lin Huang frowned. "Why must you go back?"
Lin Yue has the urge to roll her eyes but she kept calm and explain. "I want to see the skills that those two will execute, or how can I battle very well if I don't know their skills?!"
"You didn't know the boy surnamed Wen's skill, did you? But you still won"
"Ahhhhh, Can't you just take me there, Master?" Lin Yue frowns.
"Okay okay" Lin Huang stood up and stretched forth his hand to carry her, but just as she was about to enter into his embrace, she suddenly went limp and was about to fall backward but thanks to his quick reflex, Lin Huang caught her and then look down at her face before shaking his head.
The girl was fast asleep already.
He asked the maid to send her to her room in his residence and he went back to the training ground.
Thankfully, the elders were smart enough to start the second round already.
Lin Yizé and Lin Si were fighting each other with all their might.
However, to Lin Huang, no battle could be as interesting as his disciple's.
Just as he was about to doze off from boredom, the battle finally came to an end as Lin Yizé's young but loud voice was heard.
"I admit defeat."
He frowned and opened his eyes, at first glance, nothing seems wrong but when he takes a closer look, he realized that there was blood on the boy's neck, frowning, he flew to the stage and then look carefully at the boy whose face seems calm as usual.
Just as he was about to touch him, Lin Si suddenly talk. "Family Head, He admits defeat."
Lin Huang didn't say anything and was about to touch the boy again when Lin Si jumped in front of him nervously, preventing him from touching the boy.
"Family Head, my younger brother dislikes getting in touched. "
