(MC POV)
It's been several more days and yet there hasn't been any more signs of the assassin.
A few of the Elders suggested that the assassin might have given up after knowing we were vigilant of them.
However, I had seen the assassin, or at least a clone body of it, face to face back then. Their attitude at that time suggested that they definitely wouldn't give up that easily and was already plotting for their next opportunity to strike.
That's why I didn't refute those Elder's claims as it might give the assassin a false sense of security, causing them to step into the trap around Elder Feng.
Sure, I could also go the route of reading through their memories and finding out who the culprit is that way, but that would be a problem if word of this gets around and their own Sects learn of it.
Not to mention the fact that since it's a slime monster, their memories might not even be readable in the first place.
This is why I hate politics.
A simple misstep and the balance of power could be flipped so easily.
Although… The ultimate reason as to why I really decided to avoid using such a method was to not give a bad example to my cute disciples. What if they learn such inelegant methods from me and think it's ok to do it too? Thus, better not do it in this case.
At least these few days have been quite productive for us.
In this period of time, I got to be the proud Master watching my disciples grow. All of them had taken my task seriously and reaped the benefits of it.
Lian Li definitely had way better control over her Quarks than before, most likely because she had to hold herself back during her sparring sessions. I believe she should be getting very close to figuring out how to multicast very soon at her current rate.
On the other hand, Keqing might very well be on her way to reaching Master level in her Heavenly Sword Techniques too. Having Lian Li teach her really accelerated her own cultivation.
Did I mention Lian Li being a heaven sent genius? Because Lian Li is a heaven sent genius.
Manami's improvements were more subtle, though by no means were they any less impressive.
From her time in repeatedly making the tea as demonstrations, she had learnt to manipulate Quarks so fine that it is almost impossible to sense by normal Practitioners. Manami could be forming a Technique right under your feet and you wouldn't even know she was doing it until it materialises.
As for Elizabeth… Well, let's just say I could barely tell the difference between which cup of tea is brewed by her or Manami now.
Cai Hong was just as cute as always, maybe even a little cuter now after she spent time with Joanne. Somehow her actions just seemed much more adorable than before.
The girl from Fairy Garden Sect might be older than Cai Hong but her behaviour was similar to a young girl's, no offence to her. Since Cai Hong didn't really have anyone else her age to be around all this while, it was a good change of pace for her.
Joanne herself had also interestingly learned quite a bit about maturity from taking care of Cai Hong. I guess having a 'little sister' to take care of made her a bit more disciplined and mature.
Interestingly, she seemed to have some experience in alchemy too. She's nowhere near as good as Brendan, but she did know how to make healing pills at least.

Maybe Brendan might be interested in teaching her in his off time too?
Speaking of the alchemist, I dare say he's taken to the combat alchemist role quite splendidly. Honestly, I made up that fighting style on the spot when I told him about it. But seeing his talent in alchemy, I saw no reason that he shouldn't be able to do it.
Normally alchemists wouldn't even be standing on the battlefield in the first place, but well… Who says we have to stick with the conventional here?
His servant, Liehui, was also quite the interesting one. She's definitely a Martial Practitioner and showed no interest in alchemy at first. She still has no interest in practicing it, but she at least came to learn to identify most of the conventional pills and potions by sight alone.
I'd think it was a necessary skill for her to gain since Brendan would keep using them on her during their sparring sessions.
As for our resident swordswoman, Eris became one hell of a swordmaster that's for sure. It's to the point where I actually have to use my sword's full functionalities to keep her on her toes, I doubt there's anyone else in our Sect that can match her in sword skills alone now. The time she needs to infuse her sword with Quarks has also been drastically reduced as well.
Comparatively, Lydia's sword and shield skills were much more refined now. With Elaria as her opponent, she's learnt to be much more defensive with her shield and could shrug off most attacks with barely any effort. Maybe someday she might even be able to block a meteor?
Then there's Kiyomi who, interestingly, has not grown much in the strength department but somehow became really interested in housekeeping, she even started learning how to cook from Eris. For someone who was obsessed with power, it was quite a sight to see her put something else as her priority instead of just getting stronger.
On the other hand, Marie has become… Shall we say… Really evasive? It seems like her policy for this is that even if her opponent had some really powerful Technique that could wipe her with one blow, it wouldn't mean anything if it can't hit her.
Seemed to be working quite well for her at least.
And then there's my little sister Elaria who had become totally smitten with the game I had introduced to her. Imagine my surprise when I found out that Sophia and her had advanced to playing multiple boards at once, something I hadn't done with her yet.
I'm fully confident that my plan with her is working just as I had intended. Maybe it's time for me to teach her the other variations of chess?
Last on the list is my little Witch, Diao Chan.
Unfortunately for her, I'm not really sure what to make of her servant.
Zhiyang definitely had the looks that would turn heads wherever she went, but it seems like that's the only redeeming thing about her.
She once came into my room at night while Lian Li and I were… Well… Busy… And asked if she could join in shamelessly.
I'm not sure what happened to her that night but Diao Chan appeared apologizing profusely before dragging the girl away to somewhere.
Now I know why I see Diao Chan spanking her most of the time…
Sad thing is that I don't know how to help her either, the girl just seemed to be plain clueless about everything around her.
Oh well, at the worst, I'll just be a little bit harsher on Diao Chan's punishment play when she asks for it, or else we'll just have to let Zhiyang go.
Speaking of which, we decided to go on a hike for the next few days, I thought the change in scenery would do well for my disciples and to also teach them some survival skills at the same time.
We would be bringing all the servants along too so Elder Feng would be extra safe during this period of time.
Hopefully nothing happens on our little trip.
