Luo Bingbing sensed an object approaching from behind and quickly sidestepped, kicking the sword away with one swift motion.
Then, the booming voice of the Snow Spirit Elder echoed through the air.
He exclaimed loudly, "Child, your martial arts have become increasingly impressive, surpassing us all."
As soon as he finished speaking, Su Yan from a distance chimed in, "That's right! Junior Sister is truly amazing. If only I had half her skills!"
Hearing their praise, the Little One did not let it go to her head.
She raised an eyebrow slightly and said to the Snow Spirit Elder, "Old man, is there nothing else you can do besides martial arts?"
Upon hearing the Little One's words, the Snow Spirit Elder quickly replied, "Child, don't underestimate me! My skills in chess and painting are unmatched in today's world."
Luo Bingbing became intrigued by his words.
She fixed her gaze on the Snow Spirit Elder and slowly said, "Then starting tomorrow, teach me chess and painting!"
The Snow Spirit Elder and Xuan Ye were momentarily taken aback by the Little One's statement, but after a moment, they regained their composure.
Once he was back to his senses, the Snow Spirit Elder joyfully responded, "Sure! That sounds great!"
Because in the Twenty-First Century, Luo Bingbing often visited her grandfather, who was fond of playing chess and had a passion for calligraphy. Under her grandfather's influence, Luo Bingbing had gained quite a bit of knowledge about chess and calligraphy and had learned some skills as well.
Due to her solid foundation and her intelligence, she grasped concepts quickly. Therefore, she faced no difficulties in her learning and progressed smoothly.
An Ruo Ran and Su Yan followed Luo Bingbing throughout the day, whether it was playing chess, practicing calligraphy, or training. As they put it, "Wherever Luo Bingbing is, that's where we are."
Seeing that their presence did not hinder her, Luo Bingbing did not stop them. Additionally, it allowed her to observe An Ruo Ran at all times.
As An Ruo Ran and Su Yan spent their days with the Little One, they personally experienced her strength and remarkable learning ability. They couldn't help but marvel inwardly: Is this Little One even human? She's simply a freak of nature!
However, it was also because of the Little One that they worked harder and put in more effort than before.
Their goal was to closely follow in the footsteps of the Little One, hoping to become her right-hand companions in the future.
One evening three months later, Luo Bingbing returned to the Small Mountain Valley to train the beggars. She saw that they had already mastered what she had taught them and could apply it with ease.
Luo Bingbing couldn't help but think that it might be time to let them leave the valley. However, she knew that compared to An Ruo Ran, those beggars still had a long way to go.
Watching the beggars train, she furrowed her brows in contemplation for a moment before a bold idea flashed through her mind—one that had been her initial thought when she first encountered An Ruo Ran.
That was to bring An Ruo Ran into this Small Mountain Valley to train these people and see if she could get her tiger friends to join in training alongside the beggars.
She envisioned forming a formidable Tiger Legion that could intimidate the world.
With this thought in mind, Luo Bingbing allowed the beggars to continue practicing on their own while she instantly used her Ability to teleport back to the Stone House in the forbidden area.
There, after perfecting the entire idea in her mind, she wrote it down.
What she wrote was to have An Ruo Ran take those beggars to the Cliff of Doom for training, and to bring along those fierce tigers.
Taking them all to the Cliff of Doom for practical training would not only allow everyone to make significant progress but also enhance their teamwork and cooperation, improving their group spirit.
After finishing, she used her Ability to teleport back to her room in Misty Pavilion to rest.
The next day, after lunch, Luo Bingbing dismissed Su Yan and Snow Spirit Elder, calling An Ruo Ran into her room.
Inside the room, Luo Bingbing directly asked An Ruo Ran, "Have you really decided to follow me?"
"Yes, Master. I am ready," An Ruo Ran quickly replied after hearing her words.
Luo Bingbing nodded slightly and said, "I am giving you a chance now. As long as you can pass the test, you will earn my recognition."
Upon hearing the Little One's words, An Ruo Ran immediately responded respectfully, "Please give your orders, and I will ensure your satisfaction."
"Alright, go say your goodbyes to them now. Tonight, I will take you to a place," Luo Bingbing said lightly.
After hearing the Little One's words, An Ruo Ran couldn't help but be slightly taken aback and asked without thinking, "Are we leaving Spirit Mountain?"
"What's wrong? Are you unwilling?" Luo Bingbing replied with a question.
After hearing what the Little One said, An Ruo Ran quickly responded, "No, no, that's not what I meant."
Luo Bingbing waved her hand and said, "Alright, go prepare! We will leave Ling Mountain tonight."
"Yes." As soon as she finished speaking, An Ruo Ran left Luo Bingbing's room.
When An Ruo Ran found Su Yan and Snow Spirit Elder and told them about her departure from Ling Mountain, they rushed to find Luo Bingbing to inquire about the reason.
However, Luo Bingbing naturally would not reveal the true reason. She only mentioned that An Ruo Ran had something to do, but she kept everything else under wraps.
Upon hearing this, Su Yan strongly insisted on participating as well, but Luo Bingbing certainly would not agree to her request.
So, she was extremely frustrated, but there was nothing she could do; after all, the Little One was the boss of Ling Mountain now!
Nevertheless, Luo Bingbing promised them that once An Ruo Ran completed her task, she would definitely be allowed to return to Ling Mountain.
That night, Luo Bingbing quietly arrived at An Ruo Ran's room. Upon entering, she saw that not only was An Ruo Ran there, but Su Yan was also present.
However, at that moment, Su Yan had already fallen asleep. So, Luo Bingbing took An Ruo Ran using her Ability to the Small Mountain Valley where the beggars were training.
An Ruo Ran was astonished to find that she had been in the room at Ling Mountain just a second ago and now stood in a Small Mountain Valley with the Little One.
She felt a great sense of wonder and admiration for the Little One. She initially thought that the skills used by the Little One were learned at Ling Mountain through Mystical Arts but did not realize that it was actually Luo Bingbing's Ability.
While An Ruo Ran was lost in thought, Luo Bingbing let out a loud whistle towards the forest.
As soon as the whistle sounded, shadows began to emerge from the woods. With the bright moonlight, An Ruo Ran could clearly see that these shadows were indeed people.
Moments later, a group of about one hundred individuals appeared before them.
An Ruo Ran looked at the people in front of her, feeling both puzzled and shocked. Most of them were children, the oldest being only sixteen years old, while the youngest was just over five.
However, regardless of their age, they all exuded a wild aura, one that was even more ferocious than that of beasts.
Instinctively, she sensed that these Little Ones were incredibly powerful.
The beggars were momentarily taken aback when they saw Luo Bingbing bringing an outsider, but they quickly regained their composure.
Once they did, they immediately spoke in unison to Luo Bingbing, saying, "We greet you, Master."
After Luo Bingbing nodded lightly, she pointed to An Ruo Ran and said to them, "I know you have all achieved great results, but that is far from enough. This is the master I have found for you. From now on, she will train you."
Upon hearing this, everyone responded in unison, "Yes, Master."
Since Luo Bingbing trained them using methods for special forces, they had become accustomed to obeying orders as their duty.
Thus, even though they felt confused and uncertain inside, they would not voice their thoughts or objections.
Luo Bingbing turned her head to look at An Ruo Ran and said, "Your task is to train these one hundred people to be as outstanding as you."
At this point, she paused slightly, glanced at the beggars, and continued, "Take them to find your tiger friends, and bring your tiger friends along to train with them. Your training destination will be the Cliff of Doom."
An Ruo Ran and the beggars were momentarily stunned by her words, but they quickly regained their composure.
Once they were back to their senses, they immediately responded in unison, "Yes, Master, we will obey."
Luo Bingbing waved her hand to signal them to calm down and then said to An Ruo Ran beside her, "You not only need to teach them the martial arts you have learned and how to communicate with your tiger friends, but also teach them literacy."
Since An Ruo Ran had spent over a year in Ling Mountain, she had learned quite a bit of martial arts and literacy there.
So after hearing Little One's words, she nodded and said, "Yes, I will make sure to train them well."
Raising an eyebrow slightly, she continued, "However, it might be difficult for my tiger friends to accept them. After all, they have been my old friends for decades."
Upon hearing her words, Luo Bingbing frowned slightly and said slowly, "Do your best! If it really doesn't work out, then there's nothing we can do."
After hearing what Little One said, An Ruo Ran quickly nodded and replied, "Understood."
Taking out ten banknotes of ten thousand taels each from her pocket and handing them to An Ruo Ran, Luo Bingbing said, "This is one hundred thousand taels. You might need it on the way. If you encounter any problems that you can't solve, just call for me in your heart; I will appear."
As soon as she finished speaking, she turned to the beggars and said, "From today onwards, she will train you on my behalf. You can call her Aunt Ran. Anyone who dares to disobey her orders will be dealt with ruthlessly."
After hearing her words, everyone quickly responded, "We will follow the master's orders."
"Alright, let's line up and set off! Additionally, to avoid drawing attention, try to travel at night and stick to the small paths in the deep mountains and forests. Do you understand?"
"Understood." The group quickly replied after hearing the Little One's words.
An Ruo Ran nodded at Luo Bingbing and then led the group away from the Small Mountain Valley, heading towards her previous hideout.
Seeing that An Ruo Ran had already taken them away, Luo Bingbing used her Ability to teleport back to her room in Misty Pavilion to sleep.
An Ruo Ran intentionally walked very quickly to test the abilities of those beggars. However, no matter how fast she moved, the beggars behind her managed to keep up without losing a single one.
Seeing this, An Ruo Ran couldn't help but sigh inwardly: "No wonder they are trained by her; these people are truly not just for show."
The next morning, as dawn broke, Su Yan slowly opened her eyes and found herself not in her own room but in An Ruo Ran's room.
Suddenly, she recalled why she was in An Ruo Ran's room.
Thinking of An Ruo Ran, she immediately searched around the room but did not see any sign of her. So, she went outside to look again but still couldn't find An Ruo Ran.
Not finding anyone anywhere made her think that An Ruo Ran must have been taken away by that Little One.
She went straight to the place where the Little One practiced and asked, "Junior Sister, where did you take Aunt Ran? When did you take her? Why didn't I feel anything at all?"
While practicing, Luo Bingbing slowly stopped upon hearing her question and calmly replied, "That's because you were sleeping too deeply, so you didn't notice."
"But why didn't you wake me up?"
"There was no need."
After hearing her junior sister's words, Su Yan couldn't help but feel a bit frustrated. However, she didn't dare to express it because she didn't want her junior sister to dislike her.
Since those beggars had already been handed over to An Ruo Ran for training, Luo Bingbing began to cultivate her Ability again at night.
One evening, she accidentally discovered a book titled "Poison Doctor" in a corner of the forbidden study. It contained various methods for creating poisons and antidotes.
Upon seeing this book, Luo Bingbing became very interested. Thus, during the day, aside from practicing, playing chess, and painting, she devoted her time to reading "Poison Doctor."
While reading, she created numerous poisons and antidotes, including some mischievous items like Itchy Powder, Laughing Powder, Color Changing Powder, and others.
Once, when Su Yan kept pestering her with questions that became quite annoying, she sprinkled a packet of Laughing Powder on Su Yan, causing her to laugh uncontrollably for an entire day and night.
