"The Li Family of Tianyuan City."
Li Xun mumbled to himself.
This was the family of this original body that had been backing him.
By all accounts, today was not the day for the family to send him resources. So why would they send someone over? Moreover, they even dispatched the steward.
For a moment, Li Xun couldn't figure out the reason. He casually responded, "Please bring him in."
"Yes, Senior Brother."
The outer sect disciple outside the door answered and then turned to leave.
Listening to the gradually fading footsteps, Li Xun glanced at his clothes. For the past twenty days, he had been practicing without rest. His clothes had been soaked with sweat numerous times.
"The steward will take some time to arrive. I should take this opportunity to take a bath."
Saying so, Li Xun walked towards the nearby training room.
Not long after, outside Li Xun's courtyard, an outer sect disciple, dressed in gray, arrived with a white-haired and hunched old man. The disciple said, "Old sir, this is where Senior Brother Li Xun resides."
The old man nodded, showing respect to the disciple. "Thank you."
"I'm just doing my duty. If there's nothing else, I'll take my leave," the disciple replied with a bow before departing.
The old man smiled and waved his hand, seeing the disciple off. After the disciple left, the old man turned around and surveyed the courtyard. In his aged eyes, there was a sense of gratification.
"Never expected that in just two years, the young master has become an inner sect disciple. It's truly a fortunate event for the Li Family!"
Becoming an inner sect disciple in two years was considered very fast. Frankly speaking, Li Xun had already surpassed ninety percent of the cultivators in the world.
As long as Li Xun didn't die, the position of an elder in the Xuanyang Sect would be within his grasp.
"The young master really should have informed the family and let us send more cultivation resources after becoming an inner sect disciple," the old man mused to himself.
Suddenly, the courtyard gate creaked open.
In just a moment of confusion, the old man's vision blurred, and when he refocused, he found a dashing young man in white clothes standing before him.
"Chen Bo, long time no see," Li Xun greeted with a smile.
"The young master?"
The old man, caught off guard, looked Li Xun up and down.
As a family steward, he was no ordinary person. His strength was comparable to the core disciples of the Xuanyang Sect. Yet, he couldn't perceive how Li Xun had appeared before him just now.
It was a taboo for someone to approach him without him realizing it in the cultivation world.
If that person had murderous intentions, even if he didn't die, he would be severely injured in an instant.
"It's been two years, but I didn't expect sir Chen Bo to have forgotten me," Li Xun said with a gentle smile.
"young master, you have changed so much."
Chen Bo's aged face twitched a little. He raised a thin hand and gestured in the void. "When you left, you were only this tall."
"Now the young master has grown so tall."
Chen Bo looked up at Li Xun, his eyes full of satisfaction. He smiled and said, "And, if I didn't misjudge, the young master's cultivation is already in the late stage of the Spirit Connection Realm."
"That's right."
Li Xun nodded.
He didn't cultivate any concealment technique, so his cultivation couldn't be hidden, because of that, any cultivator with a higher level than him could easily see his cultivation.
This had its advantages and disadvantages. At least, he had fewer risks of being mocked. Anyone with a little bit of sense would see at a glance that Li Xun was a young and outstanding talent.
It was better not to provoke someone like him if one wasn't an idiot.
"Two years ago, I thought the young master had just stepped into the Qi Refining Realm. I didn't expect… the young master has already become a strong expert in the late stage of the Spirit Connection Realm."
As he said this, Chen Bo's face was full of emotion.
"All this is just a coincidence."
Li Xun didn't explain much about his cultivation. Instead, he invited Chen Bo inside, "This isn't the place to talk. Please come inside, Chen Bo."
"Okay."
Chen Bo nodded slightly.
He had come with important matters, which weren't suitable to discuss outside.
The two entered the main hall and took their seats.
Li Xun curiously asked, "Chen Bo, what important matter has brought you personally to the Xuanyang Sect?"
"The family hasn't experienced anything significant, it's just… " Chen Bo looked at Li Xun and hesitated, not knowing where to start.
If Li Xun's strength were only in the Qi Refining Realm, he wouldn't have any problems discussing it. But now, Li Xun's strength was already so formidable. If it were an ordinary woman, Chen Bo could understand that he wouldn't be interested.
"Why don't you just tell me?" Li Xun's warm smile froze on his face, and a thought appeared in his mind.
'This situation feels a bit familiar, could this be a marriage annulment event?'
Hearing Chen Bo's words, Li Xun couldn't help but think about it. In the countless novels he had read in his previous life, whenever he heard about engagements, he couldn't help but think of such matters.
Now, with his cultivation base still intact, the problem clearly wasn't him.
So it must be the girl he was engaged to.
"Uh…" Li Xun hesitated, trying to probe further, "I wonder, Chen Bo, how's the girl's cultivation? Was she a genius in the past?"
"Not only did her cultivation not regress, but I heard she's already preparing to break through to the peak of the Qi Refining Realm," Chen Bo replied.
"Oh!" Li Xun uttered meaningfully.
Hearing the first part, he was still somewhat worried. But after hearing the second part, he was relieved. It seemed that she hadn't chosen to break the engagement.
As for the engagement itself, he had no objections. After all, there was no rule in the fantasy world that only one Dao companion was allowed. More importantly, as Chen Bo had mentioned, the girl was preparing to break through to the peak of the Qi Refining Realm.
If he had the chance to meet her, perhaps he could invest in her.
She was the number one talent in Falling Leaf City. Investing a little in her wasn't excessive, right?
