Elder Bai nodded and said,

“Indeed, it’s that one. A few days ago, when I was clearing the Demonic Beasts that invaded the Fang Market, I found this Black Kite.”

“Seeing how intelligent it was, completely unlike other Demonic Beasts, I couldn’t bear to kill it. Instead, I thought of a way to tame it and give it to my niece as a pet.”

Lin Jing gave a wry smile and said, “So that’s how it is…”

“That explains it.”

Elder Bai asked with curiosity, “What, do you know this Black Kite?”

“Elder Bai, it’s like this. In the outer Fang Market, this Black Kite once attacked me.”

“However, it was blocked by the Formation that Elder Yu lent me. I suppose it’s because it suffered a loss at my hands and felt unwilling to let it stand.”

“So it was like that.”

Upon hearing this, everyone suddenly understood.

“Indeed, the Black Kite has a strong vindictive nature, it’s not strange that it would act this way.”

After saying this, Elder Bai began to impart lessons to the girl:

“Qing Ling, you must discipline this Black Kite well in the future, don’t let it attack others again.”

“Understood, Old Man Bai…” the girl named Qing Ling pouted and responded.

At this moment, Lin Jing was also looking at the girl in amazement, she had actually called Elder Bai ‘Old Man Bail directly. “Right, Elder Bai just mentioned that she’s his niece.” Thinking this, Lin Jing felt relieved.

Elder Yu noticed Lin Jing’s reaction and explained,

“This is Elder Bai’s niece, Huang Qingling.”

“Greetings, Fellow Daoist Qing Ling,” greeted Lin Jing to Huang Qingling. “What’s your name?” Huang Qingling asked Lin Jing, her bright eyes twinkling.

“Lin Jing,” Lin Jing answered.

“Lin Jing…”

“Alright, I’ll remember you. If someone bullies you later on, just come to me,” said Huang Qingling, looking at Lin Jing.

Lin Jing:

Lin Jing was speechless, at a loss for how to respond.

As for Elder Bai and Elder Yu, they seemed to be already used to it.

After a moment, Elder Bai spoke again,

“Lin boy, how are you feeling? Do you still want to continue with the assessment? If you feel it’s not going well, we can stop the assessment.”

“Of course, even if we stop the assessment, I will consider you to have passed, as I’m also responsible for this unexpected incident.”

Lin Jing shook his head and said,

“Elder Bai, there’s no need…”

“I am unharmed and can continue with the assessment.”

“Are you sure?” Elder Bai asked skeptically.

“Even if I pass without the assessment, it’s not certain whether I would pass if we continue. You have to think this through!”

Elder Bai was like an old fox, gently persuading, as if he wanted Lin Jing to give up the assessment.

But Lin Jing was very clear that this was likely a test. Everyone knew that his injuries were minor and not serious.

If he really chose to give up the assessment, then he might truly miss the chance of entering the Inner Fang Market.

Moreover, even if not for himself, to not disappoint Elder Yu’s expectations, he could not give up on the assessment like this.

With these thoughts, Lin Jing nodded and said, “Yes, I have made up my mind.”

“Good,”

Elder Bai, twiddling with the beard that hung in front of his chest, then said,

“Then let’s continue with the assessment.”

“We should step back a bit, so as not to disturb him.”

After speaking, the three of them retreated, stopping only when they were near the door.

Lin Jing took a deep breath, then slowly exhaled.

Next, he began by dumping out the remnants of the failed alchemy, and then took out the prepared materials.

Just like before, from processing the materials to finally sealing the Pill Furnace…

Throughout the process, he remained completely calm.
