As soon as Ji You left Teacher Mu Jianling, her face turned grim. In her Spiritual World, the Six Strands obediently lay prone as if waiting for a leader's inspection, each looking extremely poised—but Ji You was unmoved. Her eyes cold, she gritted her teeth and said, "Who just slacked off? Step forward on your own." She wanted all six to attack together, to succeed in one go, but they only succeeded 5 times. Surely, someone was slacking.
As soon as her words landed, five of the Strands raised their heads and pointed at the Fourth.
The Fourth was a bit slow to react, but it was clever. Not only did it refuse to admit its fault, but it also shifted the blame to Old Five, who was beside it.
Old Five, wrongfully accused, shook its head desperately to prove its innocence.
Seeing this, how could Ji You be fooled? She angrily said, "Fourth! It's always you stirring up trouble!" This Fourth Strand, although slimmer than the others, was sly, never straightforward.
