Lan Jiwan looked quite mature, but she was younger than He Kao thought, in fact, she wasn't even twenty-three years old yet, and she only graduated from university this July.

In other words, when she was carrying out various tasks for the Bitter Tea, she was actually a university student... Have the practical abilities of modern university students become this strong?

She met the Bitter Tea just after she graduated from high school, a standard youthful beauty.

After the college entrance examination, she had already received the admission notice and had not yet reported to the university, possibly the most carefree and unruly period in life, freed from schoolwork, almost going out every day, and was not much restrained by her parents.

One day, a group of classmates agreed to go hiking in the suburbs, in fact, they were just taking the road less traveled, climbing a wild mountain not developed for tourism; however, an accident happened. Lan Jiwan accidentally got separated from her classmates and encountered bandits in the mountains.

There were two bandits, possibly spontaneously attempting to molest her, taking her hostage into the forest intending to commit an atrocity... The Bitter Tea appeared at this moment.

Hearing up to this point, He Kao somewhat discerned a pattern. The Bitter Tea recruited these custodians, initially encountering each one in a moment of crisis where the counterpart was in danger, and he happened to pass by, not only saving them but also demonstrating incredible and mysterious means.

At that time, Lan Jiwan was taken hostage into the forest, she tried to cry for help but her mouth was covered, she could only struggle instinctively, which further aroused the bestial desire of the bandits.

Her clothes had already been torn open, her hands and feet were held down, and her mind went blank... The bandit holding her down suddenly flew up, being swept by a force and rolled to the side.

The timing of Bitter Tea's appearance was neither too soon nor too late—in short, it was just right.

In Lan Jiwan's eyes, Bitter Tea at that time seemed like an immortal descending from the sky, lifting his foot and knocking one bandit unconscious, the other bandit seeing things not going well turned to run away.

The Bitter Tea summoned a flying sword, which shot out, took the life of that person, and circled back to his hand.

Lan Jiwan squatted, hugging her chest, curled into a ball, and was already stunned... until Bitter Tea came over to reassure her that it's okay and told her there's nothing more to fear, only then did Lan Jiwan regain her ability to speak.

Lan Jiwan asked him if he was an immortal. Bitter Tea shook his head and said no, he had merely cultivated secret techniques... Yes, just like she imagined, the kind of cultivator mastering magical techniques seen in literary and film works.

Her clothes had several damages but could still be reluctantly worn again, once Lan Jiwan somewhat regained her composure, she faced a very serious problem—the high person she encountered by chance in the mountains had just committed murder!

This was not in the United States, but in the Eastern Country, involving murder was a major case. Lan Jiwan was just a girl who had just graduated from high school, never in her wildest dreams had she encountered a scene like this.

Report it to the police? The Bitter Tea told Lan Jiwan she could choose to report to the police, but he himself would not show up to testify, nor did he wish anyone to know of his existence.

He had intervened just to rescue, and those two people deserved to die, but he did not wish to expose his identity as a secret cultivator because of this, otherwise, he would not have worn a mask.

In such a case, only Lan Jiwan herself could explain to the police what had happened, and she couldn't explain it clearly... Even if she told the truth, no one would likely believe it, and it would instead invite all kinds of suspicion.

A mysterious masked man descending from the sky used a flying sword to kill the bandits? Isn't that nonsense! There must be something wrong with this girl, who knows what really happened between her and those two guys, resulting in a life being lost!

But if she didn't report it, one bandit was still alive, only temporarily unconscious and not yet awake.

Bitter Tea handed the flying sword to Lan Jiwan, he asked her to do one thing—to kill that still unconscious bandit—claiming that this was originally her issue and should be handled cleanly by her.

The so-called flying sword was a sharp short blade. When Lan Jiwan took the short blade, she was completely in a daze, she was just an ordinary high school student, encountering such a situation, she simply couldn't react.

Lan Jiwan even couldn't quite recall how she, with Bitter Tea's "assistance," used the short blade to stab the unconscious bandit to death.

Anyway, by the time she regained her composure again, both bandits were not only dead, but a deep pit was also dug, and they were buried. Bitter Tea told her that she killed him with her own hands and mentioned that she had potential and could follow him to cultivate secret techniques in the future.

This was how Lan Jiwan came to know Bitter Tea, and from then on, she became his disciple.

On the way down the mountain returning home that day, she met up with her classmates who had gotten separated and did not mention what had happened, simply saying she accidentally fell and tore her clothes...

Lan Jiwan might not be fully aware of how outstanding her talent truly was. Anyway, by her sophomore year, she already had a "Superior Secret Technique Cultivation," meaning she became a Tier Three Sorcerer.

The Micro-Entry Skill Heart Method taught by Bitter Tea was incomplete, theoretically unable to cultivate to Tier Three Perfection. But as her "master," Bitter Tea had to have something to teach, so he imparted a lot of Applied Techniques to her, not limited to the legacy of the Micro Realm Sect.

Besides this, Bitter Tea also let her learn many skills that might not necessarily be techniques. For example, Lan Jiwan mastered disguise, tracking, stealth, poisoning, and assassination, unlike a Micro Realm Sect sorcerer at all.

Traditional Micro Sect disciples had a "professional direction" that focused on artifact refining and crafting various items.

The first time Lan Jiwan met Bitter Tea, she killed someone in a stunned and emergency state, later Bitter Tea trained her into becoming an assassin. According to Bitter Tea, the missions she carried out were mainly to eliminate those relying on cultivation to commit crimes as secret technique cultivators.
