The Changes in Xiao'er
As he entered the inside of the Training Pagoda, Xue Bai was met with a rather big surprise.
Xiao'er was on the first floor fighting a sword puppet!
Before Xue Bai left to recruit Zhu Que, Xiao'er was at the 4th stage of the Organ Tempering realm. And while she was usually lax when it came to cultivation, Xue Bai had promised to give her something if she broke through 2 stages before he returned.
Knowing this, in the week he had been gone, she hadn't rested much and would spend almost all day either in the Training Pagoda or cultivating.
Thanks to that, in the week Xue Bai had been gone, she had broken through a stage, reaching the 5th stage.
And she was confident that she would reach the 6th stage before he returned. Xue Bai did say he would return in about three weeks.
However, she was currently unaware that Xue Bai's trip had been cut short by Yue ZIfeng, so after hearing someone enter the Training Pagoda, she didn't think it was him.
