“Jun Jiu,” Li Qingxue called, her voice cutting sharply through the quiet morning air.

Alex stepped out from the doorway of his small thatched hut, squinting slightly against the sunlight.

“Yes?”

“The Sect Master wants to see you. Come with me.”

A wave of shock swept through the Thousand Herbs disciples gathered nearby.

The Sect Master rarely summoned anyone personally—especially not an outer disciple like Jun Jiu.

Heads turned instantly.

Whispers spread through the courtyard like wildfire.

Very few people in Wudang ever earned a direct audience with the man who ruled the entire mountain.

Alex’s expression hardened immediately.

“No.”

He turned around and started walking back inside.

“I don’t want to meet anyone. I want to go home to Xia.”

The silence that followed felt suffocating.

Li Qingxue’s eyes widened slightly.

The surrounding disciples stared in disbelief.

An outer disciple refusing the Sect Master?

It was unthinkable.

“Jun Jiu,” Li Qingxue said coldly as she stepped forward, her icy gaze locking onto him. “Just because you reached first place on every peak doesn’t mean you can act however you want.”

Alex let out a quiet, bitter laugh.

“Arrogant? Fine. Call it whatever you want.”

His voice stayed calm, but the anger beneath it burned fiercely.

“You dragged me here from Xia against my will. You tore me away from my life, and now you expect me to follow orders like some obedient dog?”

He looked directly into her eyes.

“Never.”

Fury flashed across Li Qingxue’s face.

She lunged instantly, fingers snapping toward his arm.

Alex moved casually.

Her hand grabbed nothing but empty air.

She attacked again.

And again.

Every attempt missed.

Alex barely moved more than a few inches each time. His expression remained completely indifferent.

“Your movements are so slow they’re making me sleepy.”

Li Qingxue’s cheeks flushed red with anger.

She immediately dropped into a combat stance and unleashed her full speed.

She stood at Greater Foundation Establishment, only a step away from Core Formation.

Alex was supposedly only at the first stage of Foundation Establishment.

She should have overwhelmed him effortlessly.

Yet she could not touch him.

More than a hundred exchanges passed in a blur.

Her strikes were precise, sharp, and deadly.

But Alex simply wasn’t there whenever they landed.

Not once did she even brush his sleeve.

Finally, Alex spoke again, his voice calm and almost bored.

“I already told you, Li Qingxue. Your movement technique is incomplete. You’ve only mastered seven forms.”

He tilted his head slightly.

“You never learned the last two, did you?”

Li Qingxue froze mid-step, breathing hard.

“This is the Seven Stars Wudang movement art,” she shot back immediately. “There are only seven forms. There were never nine.”

“Really?”

Alex gave her a thin, mocking smile.

“The original technique was called the Nine Stars Wudang movement art. Two forms were lost centuries ago.”

He raised an eyebrow.

“Want me to teach you?”

Li Qingxue’s breathing grew uneven.

She could already feel the truth in the way he moved.

His footwork was terrifyingly smooth—almost unnatural.

No matter how hard she pushed herself, she could not catch him.

The Sect Master’s mission still weighed heavily on her mind.

She could not afford to fail.

But eventually, she stopped attacking.

Alex didn’t seem to care about her frustration at all.

Instead, he spoke casually.

“Watch carefully. This is the eighth movement.”

Without waiting for a response, he began demonstrating the original Nine Stars Wudang technique he had learned from the first-rank stele.

His feet moved with effortless precision and unbelievable speed.

The patterns looked simple at first glance—

yet impossibly profound.

Li Qingxue wanted to stay angry.

She truly did.

But curiosity crushed her pride almost immediately.

Before she realized it, she had already started following his movements.

“Good,” Alex said with a nod. “You learn fast. No wonder they call you one of the smartest disciples in the sect.”

Then he frowned.

“But you’re doing this part wrong. And this part too.”

He patiently pointed out each mistake and explained exactly how to fix it.

As Li Qingxue corrected her posture according to his guidance, she instantly felt the difference.

Her movement became smoother.

Her inner qi circulated more naturally.

The technique felt stronger.

Cleaner.

More complete.

“Good enough,” Alex said. “Now watch the ninth movement. This one’s harder.”

He flowed directly into the next sequence, his body moving through a far more intricate pattern.

Li Qingxue paused for a long moment before trying to imitate it.

“How are you this bad?” Alex sighed dramatically.

He grabbed a thin stick from the ground and lightly smacked her foot.

“Wrong. Shift your weight like this.”

Strangely, Li Qingxue felt no anger at all.

Instead, her eyes widened with amazement.

The final movement carried an elegance and depth far beyond anything she had imagined.

It was beautiful.

Powerful.

Perfectly balanced.

A fierce desire to master it ignited inside her chest.

As Alex corrected her posture and guided her through the movement, she felt her qi circulation becoming smoother and more stable than ever before.

Joy bloomed quietly inside her.

“This fifth movement,” Alex continued casually, “you’re barely putting any force into it. Again.”

He tapped her leg sharply with the stick.

Instead of getting angry, Li Qingxue lowered her head slightly.

“I apologize.”

“Good. At least you know when you’re wrong,” Alex replied. “Again.”

“Yes.”

She immediately resumed practicing.

For the rest of the day, Alex corrected her relentlessly.

He criticized every mistake.

Adjusted every posture.

Whenever she slipped up, he smacked her legs or feet lightly with the stick.

And every single time, Li Qingxue accepted the correction without complaint.

Not far away, Lu Piao and the other Thousand Herbs disciples watched the scene with completely stunned expressions.

One disciple slowly raised a thumb toward Alex.

“Man… in the entire Wudang Sect, only our big brother would dare hit Senior Sister Li that hard and still stand there completely unaffected by her beauty.”

“Seriously,” another muttered. “Whenever she stands near me, I can barely breathe.”

“Our big brother is built different.”

By sunset, Li Qingxue had fully grasped both the eighth and ninth movements.

For the first time, she could link all nine forms together in one continuous cycle.

The technique flowed seamlessly from beginning to end before returning naturally to the first movement again.

Everything suddenly felt smoother.

Her qi moved without resistance.

Her speed became sharper and lighter with every step.

“Good,” Alex said, glancing at the darkening sky. “It’s already midnight. You should head back.”

“Thank you,” Li Qingxue replied softly as she bowed deeply.

At that same moment, both of them sensed that something was wrong.

Alex didn’t seem bothered in the slightest.

He simply turned around, walked into his hut, and shut the door behind him with a solid thud.

Li Qingxue remained standing alone in the courtyard, confusion swirling inside her.

She had come to force him to meet the Sect Master.

Instead, she had completely forgotten her mission.

She had spent the entire day learning from him.

And strangely enough—

she had enjoyed every moment of it.

She stared quietly at the closed door of his hut while a strange warmth spread through her chest.

No one in the entire Wudang Sect had ever treated her the way Alex did.

He never seemed affected by her beauty.

Never flattered her.

Never feared her.

He simply treated her like a normal person.

Nothing more.

Nothing less.

But despite that warmth, she knew she had failed.

She had not brought him to the Sect Master.

When Li Qingxue finally returned to the main hall, she immediately knelt before the assembled elders and the Sect Master.

“Please forgive me,” she said quietly, bowing her head. “I was unable to bring Jun Jiu here.”

One elder slammed his palm against the table.

“We waited here all day!” he snapped furiously. “How dare an outer disciple ignore a direct summons from the Sect Master? Does he want punishment?”
