Chapter 16: Someone Is Here at Fusheng City. What a Xiaoyu Town!
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
Yunlai Inn at Fusheng City.
In a room on the second floor of the inn, on a wine table by the window.
An old man with little hair and a long gray beard, wearing a white robe, sat by the window.
A blue sword was embroidered on the robe.
From afar, he looked like a sage.
There was an envelope beside the old man’s hand.
This was a letter that had just been delivered. The sender wrote that he was a relative of the old man.
The old man unhurriedly opened the letter in his hand. His gaze swept across it like lightning, and he could see ten lines at a glance.
A moment later, the letter in his hand was suddenly squeezed into a ball.
The old man’s expression became extremely unsightly.
“Impudent!”
The old man suddenly shouted angrily.
A powerful aura instantly shook the cups, cutlery, and chopsticks on the table, causing them to rustle.
The old man didn’t pay the slightest attention to it. Instead, he snorted and scoffed, “A mere mortal family from a small town dares to bully our Lei family?”
“Among the blind, the one-eyed man is king. It seems I will have to teach them how to behave!”

The old man was fuming when there was a knock on the door.
“Come in!”
A young man pushed the door open and entered.
He was wearing the same long robe as the old man, but the embroidered sword on the robe was much smaller.
The man bowed and said to the old man respectfully, “Chief Lei, the disciple acceptance ceremony is ready.”
“Do you think we should start the ceremony today?”
The old man, Chief Lei, pondered for a moment and then waved his hand.
He said slowly, “You will be in charge of the disciple acceptance ceremony.”
“I still have some important matters to attend to. I need to leave Fusheng City for a few days.”
Hearing this, the man suddenly raised his head and looked at the old man in shock.
“Chief Lei, the disciple acceptance ceremony is an important matter for our Chuanyun Sect. I’m afraid it’s against the rules for you to leave now.”
“If anything goes wrong, I can’t bear this responsibility.”
“It’s fine. What kind of trouble can it be?” The old man snorted disdainfully.
“Who dares to provoke our Chuanyun Sect within Fusheng City?”

“But I’m weak compared to you. I’m afraid…”
The man looked hesitant, but the old man interrupted him.
“You are an outstanding disciple of our Chuanyun Sect. Why are you so timid?”
“Fusheng City is just a small, low-class city. What trouble can there be?”
“Besides, the name of our Chuanyun Sect is enough to intimidate those bad people.”
Hearing this, the man’s expression brightened.
The Chuanyun Sect was a serious cultivation sect.
It was also a major sect in the Tianyun Empire.
The secular empire couldn’t order cultivation sects like them.
On the contrary, every cultivation sect’s power could influence many cities.
For example, Fusheng City was under the jurisdiction of the Chuanyun Sect.
Every year, the Chuanyun Sect would recruit some new disciples in the cities under its jurisdiction.
These cities would also offer some treasures to thee sects every year to seek protection.
Chief Lei was one of the recruiters of the Chuanyun Sect.
His full name was Lei Jingyun, and he was a powerful cultivator at the last stage of the core building realm.
The recruiter was only a middle-level figure in the sect, but he already had the strength of a core building cultivator.
From this, one could imagine the strength of the Chuanyun Sect.
By now, the man had become much calmer, and his thoughts became much clearer.
Suddenly, he realized that this was actually also his opportunity.
He put on a smile and said to Chief Lei fawningly, “Chief Lei, I wonder why you are going out. Do you need any help?”
“No need. It’s just a trivial matter that is not worth mentioning. You just need to complete the disciple acceptance ceremony properly. When I return to the sect, there will naturally be a reward for you.”
Hearing this, the man was overjoyed again and quickly said, “Thank you, Chief Lei, for your guidance!”
Lei Jingyun nodded and did not delay any further.
With a sword incantation in his hand, the sharp sword hanging on the wall instantly grew bigger.
The sword floated in front of Lei Jingyun.
Lei Jingyun leaped up and landed steadily on the sword.
Then, he streaked across the sky like a meteor and disappeared into the horizon.
…
At the same time.
In the backyard of the Jiang Mansion in Xiaoyu Town.
Jiang Ping was lying on his bamboo hammock.
He quietly looked at the three girls in front of him, and a fatherly smile appeared on his face.
After the school fight, Yan’er and Liu’er were now working hard to cultivate.
They did not want to rely on their father and Wan’er forever.
However, although they had been working hard these two days, there was no progress.
“Dad!”
As they were cultivating, Yan’er and Liu’er suddenly stopped.
Then, they ran to Jiang Ping, pouted their little mouths, and looked at him with disappointment.
Jiang Ping was immediately shocked and hurriedly picked up the two girls.
He said softly, “Yan’er, Liu’er, what’s going on?”
Yan’er and Liu’er looked at each other, and both of them lowered their heads at the same time.
Liu’er said weakly, “Dad, I am really stupid. I can’t learn this body tempering technique.”
Jiang Ping was stunned for a moment before he laughed again.
‘I thought something had happened!’ Jiang Ping thought.
Jiang ping quickly comforted her, “Liu’er, don’t be discouraged. I believe you can definitely do it.”
Upon hearing this, Yan’er also complained, “Dad, this body tempering technique is so difficult. It’s even more difficult than the books that the teacher taught!”
This comparison made Jiang Ping chuckle.
In his daughter’s eyes, the contents of the books were the most difficult.
Jiang Ping wanted to persuade her a little more, but Yan’er continued.
“Dad, why don’t you change to another body tempering technique for us?”
“Sometimes, I don’t understand what the teacher taught me, but when he taught me other things, I understood it immediately.”
Jiang Ping was taken aback. Yan’er was right.
The path of cultivation was like reading a book. There were also thousands of methods.
This body tempering technique was top-notch, but it might not be suitable for his two daughters.
They could only go further if the right path was chosen.
Just as Jiang Ping was deep in thought, a clear cry like a silver bell pulled him back to reality.
“Dad, I’ve become stronger again!”
Wan’er hopped over to Jiang Ping.
Looking at her cheerful appearance, Jiang Ping couldn’t help but chuckle.
However, he didn’t take Wan’er’s words to heart.
It had only been two days, and Wan’er’s strength had become stronger again?
Even if she had a unique physique, it was impossible that she could achieve it so fast.
Wan’er saw Jiang Ping’s faint smile, she knew that he didn’t believe her.
She angrily put her hands on her hips and said, “Dad, what I said is true!”
“I know. Why would you lie to Dad? It’s just that…”
As Jiang Ping said that, he stroked Wan’er’s head.
However, before he could finish his words, he was stunned.
Because the moment he touched Wan’er, he really felt it.
Wan’er was about to break through!
“Wan’er, you’re so awesome!”
Jiang Ping was stunned for a moment, and then he patted Wan’er’s face in joy.
Wan’er was extremely happy when she received her father’s praise and kiss.
She immediately hugged Jiang Ping’s neck and laughed non-stop.
But Yan’er and Liu’er, who were at the side, pouted their little mouths and were unhappy.
They wanted a kiss from their father as well!
The two girls snorted and broke away from Jiang Ping’s embrace.
“Dad, I want to cultivate too!”
The two girls said in unison as they entered the courtyard.
They began to focus on cultivating again.
Looking at the two girls, Jiang Ping laughed out loud again.
How could Jiang Ping not know their little thoughts?
It was great to be the center of the jealousy!
