Upon seeing the situation, Meng Zhang stopped her attack. She emerged from behind the folding screen, her green robe fluttering in the air, giving her an elegant appearance.

"Not bad, not bad. No wonder you were able to injure the guards." Meng Zhang praised as she healed her wounds.

A soft green light emitted from her palm, quickly repairing the wounds on her body. The injuries turned into smooth, white skin, as if a layer of skin had been peeled off, becoming translucent.

Her lost energy was rapidly replenished, her complexion becoming rosy again, and her breath returning to normal.

She looked at Meng Zhang with resentful eyes, "Auntie, why are you doing this to me? Is it necessary to torture me like this?"

"Hehe~" Meng Zhang chuckled and shook her head, "I'm not torturing you, I just wanted to see how long you can last in my Qimen Bureau, that's all."

She pouted and discontentedly said, "I'm going to tell my mother, Auntie is bullying me."

"Go ahead, tell Ling Guang. Even if she comes in person, I won't hesitate to bully you in front of her. Your mother won't be able to beat me." Meng Zhang smiled, her tone carrying a hint of threat.

Upon hearing this, she immediately deflated, muttering a few words before obediently following Meng Zhang into the Eastern Palace.

The two arrived at a pavilion, and Meng Zhang neatly arranged the tea set on the table. She motioned for her to come over and poured a cup of tea, saying, "Have some tea."

She obediently sat down, holding the hot tea and taking a few sips. After putting down the tea cup, she anxiously looked at Meng Zhang and said, "Auntie, when will you teach me Qimen Bureau?"

Seeing the longing gaze, Meng Zhang couldn't help but touch her head and said gently, "I'll give you this diagram, memorize it first."

She took the paper handed over by Meng Zhang and unfolded it, only to find that it was a diagram of Qimen Bureau.

It seemed that she had seen this kind of diagram before, "Isn't this the diagram for the Warlock System Mage? Auntie, how do you have this?"

"The Warlock System is the Qimen Bureau. It's supposed to be the strongest school, but it's called the weakest. It's a waste for you to use it for divination." Meng Zhang said nonchalantly, her tone filled with disdain.

"Oh..." she looked a little embarrassed. She actually thought that the Warlock System was quite mediocre. After all, it was auxiliary magic, or even not considered auxiliary magic at all. It was at most a form of entertainment, like being a street fortune-teller, cheating and deceiving people.

"Among the Warlock System, there are eight palaces representing Qian (Heaven), Kun (Earth), Gen (Mountain), Zhen (Thunder), Xun (Wind), Li (Fire), Kan (Water), and Dui (Marsh). You can see that with just one Warlock System, it can encompass all of Elemental Magic." Meng Zhang took a sip of tea and continued, "You've already experienced the attacks of lightning, flames, gusts of wind, and water. It's not an exaggeration to say that the Warlock System is the strongest school in magic."

"If I learn the Warlock System, does that mean I've learned all of Elemental Magic?" she asked excitedly.

"Not only that, in the Qimen Bureau, you can strengthen yourself, reduce your opponent's attacks, and even use the characteristics of the Qimen School to resist higher-level opponents in battle." Meng Zhang explained.

Excitedly, she hugged Meng Zhang's arm and shook it, "Auntie, teach me, please."

"Stop shaking, you're making me dizzy. If you shake any more, I'll throw you out." Meng Zhang pretended to be angry.

Sticking out her tongue, she quickly let go of Meng Zhang's arm and obediently sat upright in her chair, looking serious and earnest.

Seeing this, Meng Zhang smiled slightly, "Alright, alright, I won't tease you anymore. Memorize this diagram first, the diagram of the Qimen Bureau is the foundation, and I'll teach you more later."

"Yes," she obediently replied.

"By the way, Auntie, if the Warlock System is so powerful, shouldn't everyone be pursuing it? Why do people prefer the Thunder school and dislike the Warlock System?" she asked in confusion.

Upon hearing these words, Meng Zhang's face showed a hint of bitterness. "The low probability of awakening is one aspect. The Warlock System requires guidance for cultivation. By relying on one's own exploration, one can never activate the effects of the Qimen Formation. Therefore, the Warlock System gradually fell into obscurity in the river of history, to the point where whoever awakens is unlucky."

"But I have never awakened the Warlock System, what should I do?" asked the person anxiously.

"It's okay, I have a way to help you awaken the Warlock System," Meng Zhang said mysteriously, with a glimmer of intelligence in her eyes.

"Even if I awaken it, the collar around my neck will restrict me from using magic. Can you help me take it off, Aunt?"

Meng Zhang shook her head. "Our destinies are not yet fulfilled, I cannot help you take off the collar."

Not asking any further, after all, Meng Zhang had said these vague words many times before. She had long gotten used to it.

"Don't forget, the Warlock System belongs to dimensional magic. Just like summoning, it is not restricted by the collar," Meng Zhang reminded.

"Why can't I summon my two familiars then?" they asked.

"This is the Cloud Palace, a place isolated from the outside world. Your familiars can only be summoned if they are in your Consciousness Space. Currently, they are not in your Consciousness Space, so they cannot be summoned. Even your familiars cannot sense your existence. They can only contact you when they leave the Cloud Palace," Meng Zhang explained.

Suddenly realizing, they thought to themselves, "I wonder how Baixi and Baiying are doing."

"What are you thinking? Why did you suddenly get lost in thought?" Meng Zhang asked.

"Nothing, nothing..." they quickly shook their head. "Aunt, I'll go study the Pattern now."

"I will test you on the Pattern three days from now. If you can't answer, I will hang you up and spank you," Meng Zhang warned coldly.

Upon hearing this, they hurriedly ran into the study to start memorizing the Pattern.

Meng Zhang watched the figure of her niece, squinting her eyes and murmuring to herself, "Take your time memorizing. It's not something that can be memorized in just three days."

At this moment, Meng Zhang silently prepared ropes and a bamboo board...

...

During these three days, Jian Bing was quite puzzled. Why didn't his niece come to the Western Palace to fight the Evil Beings? Could it be that she didn't want to become stronger?

After persisting for two days, he gave up halfway. He felt disappointed. How could such a person become strong?

The next time they meet, he must reprimand her. This was the only thought in Jian Bing's mind.

Meanwhile, still in the study, she looked exhausted and completely listless.

During these three days, apart from eating and resting, she spent all her time in the study, memorizing the Pattern without any breaks. Seeing her tired appearance, Meng Zhang couldn't bear to tease her using that excuse.

Instead, Meng Zhang secretly observed her. If she dared to slack off and not memorize the Pattern, Meng Zhang would make her do it and punish her if she couldn't remember it.

Time flew by, and in the blink of an eye, a month had passed. She finally memorized the Pattern inside and out. She could even draw one herself.

"Aunt, I have become extremely familiar with the Pattern after a month of study," she excitedly said as she searched for Meng Zhang in the main hall.

"It's not slow but not fast to finish memorizing the Pattern in one month," a seductive voice rang out. Meng Zhang, dressed in a long white dress, stepped out from the house.

This version of Meng Zhang appeared exceptionally elegant, with fair and smooth skin on her face, a graceful figure, a full and perky chest, long and slender legs, and a pair of white stockings on her feet, exuding the charm of a mature next-door neighbor.

"Aunt," she bowed respectfully.

Meng Zhang gave a slight nod and walked towards her, placing a palm on her shoulder.

A warm current spread throughout her body from the touch of Meng Zhang's hand, giving her a strange and comfortable sensation.

She gradually closed her eyes, as if immersed in a gentle paradise.

Meng Zhang saw that she was already asleep and gently lifted her up, walking towards the bedroom.

In the bedroom, she lay on the bed, breathing evenly, seemingly in a deep sleep.

Meng Zhang pressed her forehead against her head and began to awaken the Warlock System.

With her eyes closed, she softly opened her mouth and recited an incantation. Blue runes floated in the air and entered her forehead, slowly spreading along the curve of her neck towards her chest until they merged with her heart, integrating the pattern diagram with her heart.

This process lasted for five hours before Meng Zhang opened her eyes.

She breathed a sigh of relief and a relieved expression appeared on her face. She murmured to herself, "Don't disappoint Auntie! If it doesn't work, Auntie will hang you up and spank you."

After saying that, Meng Zhang covered her with a blanket and gradually disappeared from the bedroom.

Meanwhile, the guard was still sulking and drinking, "You haven't come to the Western Palace for a month. I've kept so many evil spirits for you. The more evil spirits you accumulate, the more regret you'll feel when I release them all next time."

He picked up the wine bottle on the table and took a big sip, then emptied it in one gulp, throwing the bottle into the trash can and grabbing another bottle to drink.
