{You’re quite different from what I expected} Wu Xiaotian frankly said as he meets his half-sister’s gaze, the bubbly little lady smiling proudly as if she just received the highest of praise.
{What? You think you’re the only one treated harshly and hated them for it?
The leaders of the sect place all their hopes in me because of your ‘disobedience’, making me spend my entire time on cultivation and nothing else, yet every single time they can, they always compare me with you behind my back, talking about how great would it be if you were as obedient as me…} she replied with quite the grievance in her eyes, more towards the Extreme Martial Sect rather than her brother, who seems to be a nice person based on their short interaction.
{They did what?} hearing her statement, he couldn’t help but frown as his opinion about the Extreme Martial Sect already at the rock bottom seems to break through and reaches an all-time low as he thinks about a young lady spending all her time in cultivating, not a single moment for her to enjoy herself, something that he knows other geniuses do since even his sworn brothers and sisters are telling him that they also get enough time for themselves even if their forces wants them to focus on cultivating.
{Don’t mind it too much brother, I’m already used to it} she replies with a wry smile on her beautiful face as she faces him and given that he’s also quite fond of the little lady and her character and antics, he finds himself quite angry of her current situation, his mind already thinking of ways to ease her current situation.
{That doesn’t mean you have to do that… mind telling me what you will do if I help you’re free from that sect’s grasp?} as he watches her fends of the multitude of young men approaching to befriend her, he discretely released a good amount of his soul power, making the young men feel quite uncomfortable as if there’s a looming threat just behind them, making them move away from the area, the feeling immediately disappearing as they do so.
{You did that? Brother, teach me how to do that~~!!!} watching as the eager young men distanced themselves from her, Wu Xiaoyao immediately connects the phenomenon to the immortal-like young man watching from far away, his acute senses making him unable to escape from the pleading eye of the little lady, causing him to shake his head as he decided to give her some tips regarding soul power later.
{Later, okay? I got something to deal with it seems} Wu Xiaotian replied, ending their brief, first exchange as he saw multiple people approaching him from the distance.
{Okay! I’ll see you inside the Golden Spirit Pool, big brother~~~!!} as she replies with a cheerful voice, his heart couldn’t help but take a critical hit as he heard her last words, not expecting that something like that will make him moved significantly.
‘I’ll talk with her again later, but for now… let’s deal with them first’ Wu Xiaotian thought to himself while looking at the three approaching figures, each of them coming from different place in the crowd of genius around.
One among them is a figure wearing a pure white daoist robe, carrying a sheathed sword in his arms, his gentle and scholarly behavior pulling quite the attention on him, this young man nodding towards Wu Xiaotian the moment he sees him.
Another figure is that of a purple-haired lady, her entire being bringing out an enchanting allure, someone that will probably only be second to his mother once her charm matures to its full potential, this lady gathering the attention of nearly all the young men, in the stage and among the audience, their attention completely on the curvaceous body bouncing from every step.
The last person is another lady, sporting a perfect, goose egg shaped face adorned by a smooth black hair and phoenix-like eyes, pulling another fraction of the population here with her demeanor and appearance, the attention she’s gathering to herself not paling in comparison to the other two.
Standing in front of each other, Wu Xiaotian smiles as he moves to greet them, reaching out his hand towards the young man wearing a daoist robe, the young man replying in kind as he reaches out as well, initiating the greetings while doing so.
“It has been a while, friend” the young man said with a smile in his face, his eyes burning with desire to spar, or even full-on fight with the immortal-like young man in front of him, as it is the only time he feels like there’s a meaning in battle other than proving who’s better than who.
“Indeed, Xuanyuan, I managed to get enlightened in some techniques, I hope you also got some new things to show to me” Wu Xiaotian smiles as he replies, the other young man, Dao Xuanyuan, also smiling as he heard his words, nodding as if he’s also prepared to deal with whatever he’s going to throw at him.
“How about me Su Tian~~~ are we going to fight as well?” tired of the conversation between the two men, the alluring purple haired lady interrupted by clinging closely to the immortal-like young man, her soft feminine parts getting squished as she clings harder on his body, something in her screaming that she must do her absolute best to make the young man attracted to her.
“Yu’er, you’re not this clingy when I last met you… and yes, we can compare notes later as well” Wu Xiaotian replied as he uses his hand to directly touch the lady’s head, just his large hand resting on top of her head alone making her feel quite secure, as if there’s a blanket of protection around her.
“What can I say? Longing makes the heart grow fonder~~~ and… I’m talking about another kind of fight~~~” the alluring lady, Zi Yu’er, replied with a genuine smile on her face, her mind thinking that she can completely let her guard down when she’s with this man in front of her.
“Feng Qing, how’s your last month?” seeing that the phoenix-like lady seems to dilly dally and couldn’t bring herself to talk with him, Wu Xiaotian initiated the conversation with her with a smile still in his face, the lady’s face blushing a bit as she looks at her friend-enemy clinging so close to the man she’s attracted to, not because she’s jealous of her acting like this but rather because she’s jealous of her having the guts to act like this.
“I’m doing really good, how about you, Su Tian?” as she moves closer to the young man, she replied with a shy voice, quite possible imperceptible to everyone had it not been for Wu Xiaotian possessing an absurd sensory perception, causing him to recognize and piece together each word that she said.
“Last month is really great” he replied as he recalls all the things that happened this past month, him breaking through the Core Formation Realm, his mother and maternal grandmother reuniting, along with Hua Xian’er confirming her feelings for him and all sorts of other good things combined.
