"What are you saying brother? You haven't even been able to condense a spirit core so how can you cultivate?"
"Wang Miao, you underestimate me too much. Tell her Li Jing"
"Last night the young master made a breakthrough and condensed his spirit core. He spent the rest of the night meditating and learning how to control it"
"Li Jing would never lie to me, you actually did it?"
"Yes, and it took me two hours"
"Now I know you're lying. No one can condense a spirit core within two hours"
I clenched my fist and let covered it with red spirit energy, leaving my sister surprised.
"It's spirit energy, not the normal white but red. You've stabilized your core?"
"No I have stabilized one of my cores"
"One of them? There's more?"
"Yes I have more than one spirit core"
"That's great, you-"
Before Wang Miao could talk I covered her mouth with my hands and sat her down. I made her understand that she couldn't let anyone know and I only told her because I trusted her to keep secret.
"Ok I understand, now let me go"
"Sorry" I left go of her and retracted back into my seat.
"Young master, you should eat now. You have not eaten at all today" Li Jing said. She was right and I was starting to feel it. "What would you like to eat?"
"Don't worry about me, you should go eat something"
"Lady Wang Miao, the young master has refused to eat anything since he woke up last night. Please make him eat"
Wang Miao looked at me wide-eyed. "Brother is that true?"
"I don't feel like eating right now just give me some wine and I'll be fine"
"Wine? No no no no no! We are not doing that again"
"Again?"
"Have you forgotten what happened last time?"
I was confused"What happened 'last time'?"
"You don't remember?"
I had a feeling that this was one of the holes in Wang Wei's memories, but why'd it have to be something like this. "My memories have been quite hazy since I woke up so I don't remember a lot of things. Can you remind me about what you're saying?"
"You drank too much and fell into the lake"
"I don't remember "
"That aside, Li Jing can you please bring him some sweet biscuits and tea?"
"Yes lady Miao"
"I told you to stop using honorifics, you're making me sad"
"I'm sorry Wang Miao. I'll go get the biscuits now"
Li Jing left us both in the room and in a little while she was back with the biscuits and some tea.
"I don't want to eat anything"
"No. You will eat"
This girl was a tenacious one. In Wang Wei's memories she didn't talk to him much. She actually tried to talk to him on several occasions but he ignored her most of the time or just listened, never said anything back. I was sure my behavior right now was a surprise to her but I didn't care. As long as she didn't pull a sword at my neck all was good.
Wang Miao took a biscuit a bit into it "Li Jing join us" Wang Miao said.
"I'm fine"
"I thought the biscuits were meant for me, why are you eating them?"
"Don't be cruel, you can't eat all those by yourself"
"Li Jing sit down and have some"
Li Jing gasped and her face went beet red again "Yes young master"
