They were all smart people and naturally knew what Jian Ai meant.
She was going to take action personally and be the person lying in ambush in the room.
“No, I disagree.” Bai Zhou was the first to object. “Sect Master, this is too dangerous. We haven’t figured out the other party’s identity and trump card. What if it’s a tough nut and you get injured?”
The others had serious expressions on their faces. It was obvious that they did not want Jian Ai to take risks.
Jian Ai’s heart warmed, but she shook her head and laughed indifferently. “We have to catch this person because we don’t know the other party’s identity and what trump cards he has. Otherwise, if he keeps watching you in the dark, as the Sect Master, wouldn’t I be on tenterhooks as well? To me, it doesn’t matter who this person’s goal is. Because all of you have an equally important position in my heart, I don’t want anything to happen to any of you.”
“For all of you, I won’t let this person off.”
As soon as she finished speaking, Jian Ai suddenly extended her index finger and gently drew a circle in the air. Besides Bai Zhou, who had no mental cultivation techniques, everyone else felt the fluctuation in the air.
Looking closely, the unfinished coffee in the coffee cups in front of them on the coffee table started spinning, forming small vortexes.
Without waiting for them to react, there was a bang. The coffee cup in front of Jian Ai shattered. To everyone’s shock, the coffee cup fragments scattered around, but the coffee in the cup was still spinning in a circle without spilling a drop of liquid.
In the next second, Jian Ai raised her hand slightly. The coffee instantly split into several streams and slowly fell into the others’ cups. There was no trace of liquids on the coffee table besides the shattered coffee cup in front of Jian Ai.
Everyone was stunned by Jian Ai’s sudden action. Was that a top-notch mental cultivation technique from the ancient sect?
Jian Ai’s voice slowly sounded under everyone’s surprised expressions. “My mental cultivation techniques have been effective recently. I can find an opportunity to practice. Don’t worry, ordinary people can’t hurt me.”
Jian Ai had cultivated the ancient sect’s twelve top mental cultivation techniques. It was completely different from the mental cultivation techniques of the twelve guards. Moreover, what Jian Ai had just displayed was only the most basic control. And although it was a dual control of solids and liquids, it was enough to surprise others. So, as much as it was the foundation of the mental cultivation techniques, others could not do it.
Just like how different professions were worlds apart, the twelve guards had their own abilities. Everyone’s abilities were different, and Jian Ai did not know them.
But what Jian Ai knew, they didn’t either.
“Then let’s do as the Sect Master says,” Xiao Zhen regained his senses and spoke first.
The others also nodded in silence. They were only thinking about the Sect Master’s safety, but they forgot that the Sect Master had the twelve mental cultivation techniques of the ancient sect. Even if she had just cultivated for a while, she could protect herself in times of danger.
Seeing that they had relented, Jian Ai couldn’t help but reveal a comforting smile. She said softly, “Don’t worry, I’ll be careful. Nothing will happen.”
“Besides, the other party didn’t succeed the first time. They might have already escaped because they were afraid of being exposed. It’s still unknown if they will attack again.”
At this moment, Bai Zhou looked at Jian Ai with a serious expression and said in a low voice, “No matter what, we have to prioritize your safety.”
