After they finished the meal, the two leave the room and roam around for now, agreeing to tell Li Yan the progress about the two of them once the empress-like lady gathers enough courage.
“I keep telling you, Yan’er wouldn’t really mind it you know?” looking at the panicked face of Hua Xian’er whenever the name Su Yan’er was mentioned in their conversation, Wu Xiaotian couldn’t help but laugh wryly at her who’s still quite worried despite his repeated assurance.
“That’s easy for you to say, you’re not the new one, who knows what Sister Yan’er would think if she comes to know how I feel about you…” Hua Xian’er replied with pouting lips as she sends another ‘playful’ punch on her sworn brother’s arms.
“Big sis, I would appreciate it if you stop sending punches towards me… it kind of hurts…” although already powerful enough to contend against anyone within the Nascent Source Realm with his current strength, Wu Xiaotian still acts like what she’s doing is dealing some damage to him, making the empress-like lady smile as he inspects her current strength.
[Name: Hua Xian’er]
[Age: 26]
[Affiliation: Heavenly Secret Tower]
[Cultivation: Advance state Nascent Source Realm]
[Physique: Untainted Heavenly Body]
[Stats]
[Strength: 10,000 innate strength]
[Agility: 11,000 innate strength]
[Intelligence: 12,000 innate strength]
[Stamina: 9,000 innate strength]
[Vitality: 10,000 innate strength]
[Aptitude: High Quality Celestial Level]
Given that she’s already among the pinnacle of the current generation, Wu Xiaotian couldn’t help but shake his head as he looks at the absurdity of his stats, deciding to go to Hua Jingxian to find a method on testing where his current limits lie.
“I know you’re just acting Wu Xiaotian, how about we go to Pops and ask some of his Soul Formation Realm henchmen to test your strength?” Hua Xian’er, after pretending to be really proud for a while, decided to tear of her façade as she moves beside Wu Xiaotian, circling her arm around his shoulder as she tiptoes in an attempt to look tall beside him.
“You’re making it sound like Uncle Jingxian is some sort of villain….” Wu Xiaotian replied with a helpless smile on his face, shaking his head as he just couldn’t comprehend the way this lady’s brain works.
“You going or not?” letting her arms go from his shoulder, she takes a large step and moves in front of him, looking at him face-to-face as she asks him with inquisitive eyes.
The immortal-like young man, hearing this, just smiles at her as he takes the empress-like lady’s hand, walking in front as they move towards the office where Hua Jingxian is often found.
———-
“Hmm? Oh, Brat! What brings you to this old…” as he pleasantly exclaims once he saw the face of the young man entering the office, Hua Jingxian was stunned for a while as he saw the hand being held by the young man, owned by a figure that couldn’t be more familiar to him.
Looking at his daughter’s shy face as she hides behind the towering figure of Wu Xiaotian, the middle-aged father couldn’t help but smirk a bit as he looks at the young man’s face, his expression as if telling the young man that he knew this would happen.
“Come come, sit brat, no need to hesitate, after all, it seems like we’re going to be family… hehehe” standing up from behind his table, Hua Jingxian approaches the two as he points on two separate chairs, after which he starts rubbing his palms together and acts like some unscrupulous businessman.
“Pops!!!” as she looks at her father acting like that, Hua Xian’er couldn’t help but look at him with hostile eyes as if she met the worst enemy of her life.
“Uncle Jingxian, let’s talk about those matters on a later date, I come here to ask for a favor…” seeing the empress-like lady looking at him with pleading eyes, Wu Xiaotian decided to intervene, his attempt on doing so seemingly successful as the attention of the middle-aged man was diverted from Hua Xian’er to him.
“Hoh… I thought you will just continue to read stuffs from the library and do nothing else until the opening of the Golden Spirit Pool. So tell me brat, what is it that you want?” assuming the image of an imposing and charismatic leader, Hua Jingxian moves back to his original seat, leaning in and placing his palm together, looking seriously at the young man in front of him as he flashes a confident smile, only for this perfect atmosphere he just set to be ruined by the next word his daughter spoke.
“Pops, why don’t you stop acting like that and just ask normally?” hearing his daughter acting like she’s on the immortal-like young man’s side, Hua Jingxian couldn’t help but feel a sudden pang in his heart, happy that his daughter has someone to grow old with now, yet also sad as she seems to support said someone more than him, her father.
“Come on little Xian, let your old man act like this every once in a while, it’s not like I’m hurting anything when I’m like this right?” the middle-aged man retorted as he waves his hands around while trying to explain to his daughter, only for his struggles to be invalidated as the lady averts her gaze from him.
“Now now, Big sis, how about you cut Uncle Jingxian some slack, it’s not like there’s a harm in him doing so right?” stepping in as he felt like this is going to be a long repetitive cycle of conversation if he did not do so, Wu Xiaotian interjected, effectively breaking the cycle as Hua Xian’er decided to just keep quiet for now, while her father breathes a sigh of relief.
“Back to the topic, would you mind helping me test my strength Uncle Jingxian? Just sending in one good Soul Formation Realm expert is enough” the immortal-like young man continues, expressing his request, his words surprising the middle-aged man as he stares at him in disbelief.
“Brat, are you sure about that?” looking at him as he scans his strength, Hua Jingxian was confused as even if he heard from his daughter that this young man is capable of fighting against Perfection state Core Formation Realm cultivators with ease when he was a Pedestal Establishment Realm Cultivator, he is certain that his current cultivation as of Core Formation Realm will hardly give him enough ability and strength to fight against someone at the Perfection state of the Nascent Source Realm, not to mention a cultivator of the Soul Formation Realm.
“Come on pops, it’s not like there’s a harm in Tian trying right? We can always just stop if he really cannot handle a Soul Formation Realm cultivator…” Hua Xian’er, seeing her father in doubt, said, looking at him seriously in the eyes before she directed her gaze towards the young man beside her, looking at him with confidence filled gaze as she continues her words.
“Besides, it would do you good if you stop underestimating what Tian can do” she said with a flat tone, as if she’s just stating the obvious, making the middle-aged man look at her with pleasant surprise in his face, before looking at the young man beside his daughter, anticipation filling his eyes as he decided to grant his favor.
