Early the next morning, Puppet Girl slowly sat up and found that Lin Xing and Jing Shiyu were still sound asleep.
"How can these two sleep in so late," Bai Yiyi thought to herself, "Didn't we agree to get up early today to continue our journey?"
After waiting for what felt like ages, the two finally woke up, and Bai Yiyi immediately noticed something was amiss.
She observed that the relationship between Lin Xing and Jing Shiyu seemed even closer than the day before.
"Hmm?" Bai Yiyi silently mused, "Did they do something sneaky while I was asleep?"
"Did Jing Shiyu secretly give Lin Xing lessons, imparting skills to him as if to take on the role of master and disciple?"
Thinking this, Bai Yiyi felt her position as master increasingly precarious, yet she felt helpless against the watchful Jing Shiyu.
"Damn it, I'm proficient in a myriad of martial arts, yet Lin Xing specializes in Taoist techniques, leaving me, the old ancestor, unable to display my abilities..."
