Chapter 668 Departure From Qiling City.
After a week, Shi Lang returned the little girls from the Inheritance palace. The two of them have gone through tremendous change. Hao Mei was not timid anymore. On the contrary, she carried the vibe of elegance. Her mindset has become very steady. Now, her gentle attitude could not be mistaken for her timidness.
Shi Lang was very happy with her growth, and the girl was also practicing how to manipulate her spiritual energy to generate spirit fire. Thanks to the inheritance, the knowledge of spirit herbs and many pill recipes was already stored in her brain. Hao Mei was in the spirit-gathering realm. Once she reached the Spirit formation realm, she could practice medicine refinement.
Yu Xiedi, on the other hand, reached the peak of the body refinement realm. Her progress was too quick. Shi Lang had given her a few drops of liquid spirit, and her body had been refined to the peak. The girl was very hardworking and achieved the first level of jade bones.
The terran bought them back inside the city palace the same way as they had left. The first person who came across them was old man Yu Xian. He saw that the realm of his granddaughter had been raised so quickly. He was about to fly off the handle and ask Shi Lang why this happened.
The sudden increase in strength was detrimental to the foundation. Shi Lang could sense the rage in his eyes and said, "You can sense their realms, then you must be able to look deeper at their foundation. Today, I will teach them how to hide their cultivation realms. You will not be able to peek again."
Yu Xian snorted and sensed carefully, and just as Shi Lang had said, the foundation of the two girls was impeccable. He could not help but ask, "How did you do it?"
Shi Lang raised his brow but did not answer. On the side, Han Kim slapped her husband on the elbow. She said, "Young friend, do not think too much. Old Yu was bold to ask you about this secret."
Shi Lang shook his head and replied, "It is obvious to have such a reaction, Senior."
The lady nodded. She liked Shi Lang's way of handling things. He did not cause trouble and was very amiable to the ones who did not make trouble for him. She looked at her granddaughter and asked, "Xiao Yu, you have spent a few days with us, and I hope you know our feelings for you. Although I wish you to go to the Northern Wind Sect with us, I will still respect your wishes. Can you tell us what you have decided?"
Yu Xian was shocked and did not expect his wife to listen to a child's opinions. However, he could not say anything as she had already told him to stay silent with spiritual communication.
Yu Xiedi gazed at her grandmother and then at Shi Lang. The terran smiled and said, "Xiao Yu, say what you want. Be sure we both support your decision and will not make things difficult."
The little girl nodded, sure that Shi Lang was a person of his word. The girl looked at Han Kim and said, "Grandma, I wish to stay with Master. I want substantial strength before I go to the Northern Wind Sect to recognize my ancestors."
The old man closed his eyes with a frown while the old lady smiled and said, "Xiao Di, you are so thoughtful. I knew you would prioritize the prestige of your mother before comfort. Do not worry. Tread ahead with peace in your heart. We will support you completely."
Yu Xiedi stood up and circled the table to approach her grandmother. The old lady embraced the little one and said, "Young Friend Ace, I hope you will look after her."
Shi Lang smiled and said, "Senior, you do not have to worry. I will have my people look after her with great care. She will not suffer any unnecessary pain or trouble through her way to the strength."
Han Kim nodded and patted Yu Xiedi's head. The lady bought a space ring from her sleeve and said, "Xiao Di, this ring has some gifts from Grandpa and Grandma to you."
The girl was surprised and gazed at Shi Lang. The terran said, "This is the blessing of your family. Do not hesitate to accept it. Work hard so that you do not let them down."
Yu Xiedi nodded and took the space ring as she thanked her grandmother. Hao Mei looked at the scene and then turned to look at Shi Lang. Her eyes flickered with some questions, but Han Kim suddenly said, "Xiao Mei, come here."
Hao Mei was surprised, and then she walked around the table. The old lady smiled and said, "You will be sisters with Xiao Di. That makes you my granddaughter, too. Here, this space ring is for you. I wish you good luck on your path."
Hao Mei was shocked. She turned to look at Shi Lang, who smiled and said, "Take it. Do not let Grandma Han down."
Hao Mei nodded and accepted the space ring with shivering hands. Her eyes were brimming with tears. She did not know how to express her feelings. She had no family member who would have left her with something this valuable. Her parents had left her with some money, but the immortal cultivator gave her a chance to change her life.
However, later, she found that the immortal cultivator was also using her for his means and even caused her to live like a blind.
Only Shi Lang gave her the sense of security that she craved ever since her parents passed away due to the plague. Today, when she saw Han Kim giving a space ring to Yu Xiedi, she was envious, and the longing deep in her heart surfaced once more.
Han Kim did not expect Hao Mei to cry and hurriedly said, "Dear, why do you cry?"
Hao Mei shook her head and rushed to hug Shi Lang. The terran patted her back and said, "Xiao Mei, you have a family now. Why are you crying, my silly child?"
Hao Mei shook her head and did not say anything. She was not in the state to say anything. Shi Lang took the initiative and said, "Senior Xiao Mei is overwhelmed with emotions."
The old lady understood and nodded. She said, "It is fine. I understood what was going on in her heart. She is still young, and her heart is tender."
Shi Lang nodded and consoled the little girl silently. After he was done, Shi Lang said, "I will leave the Qiling City tomorrow and bring them to the training place. Xiao Yu will walk the path of a warrior while Xiao Mei will tread on the way of an alchemist."
The elders were surprised, but they nodded after some thought. Hao Mei was indeed gentle, and the path of an alchemist fitted her well. Shi Lang was on a time constraint. He needed to reach the peak of his cultivation realm in two months. If he were to look after the two girls at every step, it would hinder both of them.
Han Kim said, "Young Friend Ace, you can come and find us whenever you wish. The gates of the Northern Wind sect are always open for you."
Shi Lang nodded and bowed in gratitude. He then took the girls to pack their stuff and bade farewell to Yuwan and the rest of the people. Yu Xian was unwilling, but his protest was limited to his facial stiffness. Han Kim had a tight leash on this guy. The terran could not help but think of Amelia when he looked at this scene.
He made the two girls sit on the broad back of the lightning mane horse with him, and they set off.
...
On the other side, Lei Hu appeared at the door of the War Maiden Sect. His appearance shocked the guard disciples. They were about to attack him when the beast king produced a scroll and flung it to them.
The disciples were shocked as they caught the scroll and heard a voice in their minds, "Give this to Amelia. She will know what to do."
The disciples exchanged glances and quickly rushed inside to alert the elders. The tranquility of the sect was disturbed in a few moments, and many people gathered at the door to watch a Beast King.
Soon, Yu Ying and Amelia arrived at the door. The people knew their identity now and respectfully opened a path for the two. Amelia reached the gates and found a four-meter-tall Lightning Leopard sitting on the ground with a calm expression.
She asked, "Senior, what can I do for you?"
Lei Hu opened his eyes and said, "Madam, did you not read the letter?"
Amelia was surprised and heard that the scroll came from a beast king and hurried over. She did not read the letter. Now that she heard the beast call her madam, her heart beat picked up the pace.
She looked at the letter's content, and her doubts were cleared.
