Lin Yin did not resort to any spells; instead, she relied on her spiritual energy, executing her close combat techniques with fluid grace. Although Lu Lengxue was powerful, he found himself at a disadvantage against Lin Yin's relentless assault.
"Qiao Hai, you should join in as well. You and Lengxue share a deep connection, and your training methods complement each other. This should allow you to match Miss Lin's strength," Wu Taitian remarked, secretly impressed. Mr. Jiang was indeed an extraordinary figure, and his disciples were equally formidable. Seeing Lu Lengxue being pushed back, he quickly spoke up.
Since the match had already begun, it was only fair to let Lin Yin enjoy herself. If she wasn't satisfied, she would surely find a way to trouble him later, and Wu Taitian had no desire to confront Lin Yin directly.
"Elder, won't this be unfair with so many against one?" Lu Qiaohai expressed his concern.
"Come on, Lu Ge, you should join too," Lin Yin said with a smile while engaging in battle, appearing quite at ease.
Lu Qiaohai's face flushed; being called "Lu Ge" made him feel awkward. However, seeing his sister struggling, he set aside his embarrassment and joined the fray.
The combined efforts of the Lu siblings produced a synergy that was clearly greater than the sum of its parts. Noticing their sudden increase in combat effectiveness, Lin Yin felt invigorated rather than intimidated. She moved like a fish in water—quick and agile.
"Elder Wu, why not let the remaining young disciples join in as well? This girl is too unruly and needs to be taught a lesson," Jiang Chen suddenly suggested to Wu Taitian.
"Well, if you insist," Wu Taitian replied awkwardly but nodded nonetheless; he did not want to go against Jiang Chen's wishes.
The three remaining young disciples of Shen Xue Men stepped forward. Although they felt somewhat embarrassed about it, they had no choice but to follow the Elder's orders. Seeing Lin Yin's carefree demeanor only fueled their desire to teach her a lesson.
"Bring it on!" Lin Yin said cheerfully.
Her strength was comparable to that of the Divine Realm. While the young disciples of Shen Xue Men were impressive in their own right, they were still no match for her. Even when they teamed up, they remained outclassed by Lin Yin.
With swift movements, Lin Yin's palms struck each of the five disciples from Shen Xue Men one after another. They froze in place as if their acupoints had been sealed.
"Thank you for the lesson," Lin Yin said with a smile and a polite gesture.
Lu Lengxue and his companions turned pale; the tingling sensation from their bodies faded almost instantly. Their embarrassment stemmed not from being defeated by Lin Yin but from realizing that five of them could not even stand up to one young girl. They felt utterly humiliated—thankfully, other disciples from Hidden Sect did not dare approach Jiang Chen and thus did not witness their shame.
"Miss Lin's strength far exceeds our expectations; we accept our defeat willingly," Lu Lengxue said politely as he returned her gesture. The others forced awkward smiles, wishing they could hide their faces in shame.
As they settled back down, Wu Taitian noticed the dejected expressions on his disciples' faces and laughed heartily: "You all had the chance to spar with Mr. Jiang's disciple; that's a privilege! Losing is nothing to be ashamed of."
Lu Lengxue and the others lifted their heads slightly but still felt embarrassed.
The Valley Master of Divine Medicine Valley, Lu Shi, also offered words of comfort: "Don't you know? Even the master of Tianlang Palace, Shangguan Yao, can only challenge Mr. Jiang's esteemed disciple Ye Ming. And this Miss Lin is Ye Ming's senior sister; it’s only natural that you are not her match."
Surprisingly, Lu Shi's words brightened Lu Lengxue and the others' spirits.
Only the master of Tianlang Palace has the qualification to challenge Lin Yin's junior sister; losing to Lin Yin was indeed not disgraceful but rather an honor.
However, upon hearing this, Lin Yin couldn't help but feel less pleased. Although they were praising her, they likely didn't realize that among her peers, she was actually the weakest.
"Ahem! You might not know this, but although I am Ye Ming's senior sister, my strength is nowhere near hers," Lin Yin explained loudly without any pretense or false modesty.
"Uh..." Lu Shi, Wu Taitian, and the others exchanged glances. Since Lin Yin had said it, she was clearly not joking. However, it was quite surprising that Lin Yin, as a senior sister, had a weaker ability than her junior sister.
"Miss Lin, you are all esteemed disciples of Mr. Jiang, so your strengths shouldn't differ too much; it's all relative," Wu Taitian said with a smile.
"Elder Wu, you don't understand. I just entered the field a bit earlier; my strength is still quite different from Ye Ming's," Lin Yin replied with a hint of sigh.
Seeing Lin Yin suddenly become melancholic again, everyone was at a loss for words. Even Wu Taitian was unsure how many disciples Jiang Chen had taken in. However, since the topic had turned this way, Wu Taitian couldn't help but want to learn more.
Although he had known Jiang Chen for a few years, to be honest, his understanding of him was still vague. Tonight, as they sat on the lawn under the stars and felt the mountain breeze, it felt like a casual tea gathering. He thought that it wouldn't hurt to learn more about Mr. Jiang, and surely Mr. Jiang wouldn't mind.
With this in mind, Wu Taitian mustered his courage to ask, "Miss Lin, may I ask how long you've been following Mr. Jiang?"
"Just over three years. I met him when my master graduated from high school; I had just graduated from university and started working not long after," Lin Yin replied candidly.
Wu Taitian was taken aback, and everyone looked shocked. It was unbelievable that Lin Yin had only been following Mr. Jiang for three years.
It was astonishing—if Lin Yin had only been with Mr. Jiang for just over three years, then Ye Ming must have been there for an even shorter time. In such a brief period, Ye Ming could take on Shangguan Yao by herself; the incredibility of this situation was akin to the sun rising from the west.
Yet everything that happened around Mr. Jiang was hard to dispute.
"Miss Lin, may I ask which university you attended?" Wu Taitian inquired casually. Mr. Jiang didn't stop him; it was a good opportunity to ask more questions. Of course, asking questions was an art; one couldn't be too direct or too subtle. The best questions flowed naturally and didn't provoke discomfort in the other person—especially when dealing with someone like Mr. Jiang.
"Jinling University."
"That's a great university! So does that mean Miss Ye Ming and Miss Qin are also university students?"
Upon hearing Wu Taitian's words, Qin Xiaoya couldn't help but cover her mouth and laugh. Her usual cold demeanor transformed into charm with her smile, like spring breezes melting away winter's ice.
