Early in the morning, Xiao Xiao arrived at their house, but she could only shake her head when Yi Mingxia told her that he was still sleeping. Even more so, he slept with his aunts and Zhao Yao.
After Hua Ning and Hua Yue left their home last night, Ling Yun decided to dual cultivate with the three women, especially since their cultivation was at the lowest among the women.
At the end of their dual cultivation session, their cultivation rose significantly, and their cultivation broke through to the Peak Spirit Master Realm.
In the end, Xiao Xiao could only wait for Ling Yun to wake up, and she chose to talk to Ling Xi in the front garden. "Since you've read my memories, you must know about the prophecy and the calamity, right? Don't you plan to tell him about it?"
Ling Xi shook her head and asked her back. "Are you ready to accept such a huge responsibility?"
"No!" Xiao Xiao shook her head vigorously. "That responsibility is too great, and the current me isn't ready to accept such a responsibility."
"If you, as an experienced cultivator, are still not ready to accept such a responsibility, then what about Ling Yun, who recently started his path as a cultivator?" Ling Xi spoke with a smile, and as a being who has lived a very long time, she certainly is much wiser in analyzing and deciding everything.
Xiao Xiao couldn't help but be silent because Ling Xi's words were true, and the responsibility was still too big for the current Ling Yun.
Ling Xi chuckled. "All we can do for now is to properly guide him. When he has established himself as a true cultivator and is mentally prepared, I will inform him of the responsibilities that await him."
Xiao Xiao could only sigh and nod in agreement, and it was confirmed that Ling Yun still had to go through a very long process before he was ready to take on such a huge responsibility.
"The most important thing for now! When will you accept him as your fated man?" Ling Xi asked as she smiled widely at Xiao Xiao.
Xiao Xiao didn't intend to answer Ling Xi's question; she still didn't want to give up on her fate and wanted to change her fate.
Ling Xi spoke to her again. "You and I know that a seer's prophecies always come true, so even if you try to deny your fate, you will never be able to change it."
Xiao Xiao couldn't help but sigh in her heart hearing that, and she knew about her great-grandmother's ability as a seer, but she still didn't want to accept her fate so resignedly.
Minutes later, Ling Yun woke up from sleep and cleaned himself before meeting Xiao Xiao and Ling Xi in the front garden. "What are we going to do now?"
Xiao Xiao immediately answered him. "Before we start training, I'll first explain many things about cultivators and the like. That way, you can understand things better."
"All right." Ling Yun agreed without hesitation, especially since Ling Xi didn't explain much about everything, and everything he knew was based only on novels and movies.
Xiao Xiao then started explaining the basics to him, and Ling Yun listened to her intently.
Sometime later, after she finished explaining various things about cultivators and the like, she spoke to him. "For now, I want to see your abilities first, so you can start practicing all the techniques you have, and I will watch over you from here."
"Okay." Ling Yun then started practicing each of his techniques, from his movement techniques to his fighting techniques, and Xiao Xiao watched everything seriously as he noted his advantages and weaknesses.
Ling Xi didn't say anything and allowed Xiao Xiao to do what she wanted with Ling Yun. 'Hehe, with you being around him often, I'm sure you will be melted by his charm sooner or later.'

Meanwhile, Liu Qiyue had already woken up from her sleep, and she sat in front of the mirror as she kept looking at her heavily bandaged face.
However, it was clear that her gaze was blank, and she looked like someone who had lost her soul.
Moreover, her husband had also sent her lawyer to meet her, and he had divorce papers with him. She knew that her husband had never loved her, and he wanted to marry her simply because of her beauty. But at that time, she could not refuse to marry him, as it was her father's last wish.
In the end, she decides to sign their divorce papers, but she is in deep agony because of everything that has happened, and her life has changed drastically overnight. Her beautiful face is now ruined, and her husband also abandoned her. But it was useless for her to regret it anymore because time couldn't be turned back.
After a while, Liu Qiyue took her smartphone and booked two plane tickets.
*cracks*
The old woman walked into the room and looked at her daughter guiltily. She walked over to her, hugged her from behind, and spoke to her. "Qiyue, you'd better go home and live with me, and I will take good care of you."
"Mom, before I go home with you, I want to see someone for one last time." However, Liu Qiyue was scared in her heart, and she was scared that person didn't want to see her again because of her ugly face.
The old woman frowned. "Where does that person live?"
"He lives in Hangzhou."
'He? Does Qiyue have a relationship with another man?' The old woman wondered. "Have you booked the tickets yet?"
"I've already booked two tickets for us."
The old woman nodded at her. "All right! I will accompany you to see him, but I hope you won't be disappointed if he doesn't want to meet you."
"I know." Liu Qiyue clenched her fists tightly as she muttered in her heart. 'Are you going to hate me because of my ugly face, Mo Chen? If you hate me, it means you are no different from my ex-husband and want to have a relationship with me because of my beauty.'
.
.
Two hours later, after Ling Yun finished his practice, Xiao Xiao immediately told him about his advantages and weaknesses. She took out two seeds from her storage ring and threw them on the ground, and soon two wooden puppets appeared in front of them.
"What are these two wooden puppets for?" Ling Yun didn't understand Xiao Xiao's intention of taking the two of them out.
"Since you already have excellent battle and movement techniques, I will train you with actual combat, and these two wooden puppets will be your opponents. But you don't need to worry because I have set their strength to be equal to yours, so it shouldn't be a problem for you to fight them." Xiao Xiao explained to him.
But suddenly, Ling Yun's cell phone rang due to an incoming message, and he immediately read it.
[Liu Qiyue: Can you pick me up at the airport in two hours?]
Ling Yun looked surprised to read the message from Liu Qiyue, especially since she had not contacted him for a long time. "Big Sis Xiao! Let's postpone the combat training for now, I have an important business."
Without waiting for her response, Ling Yun immediately used the Nine Heaven Steps and disappeared from Xiao Xiao's sight, and Ling Xi instantly entered his body as she couldn't be too far away from him.
"I'm sure he's off to see another woman again." Xiao Xiao muttered as she looked up at the sky and imagined Ling Yun's childhood. "Back then, he's so cute and innocent, and now manly and handsome, but he's also a dual cultivator with so many women by his side."
.

Meanwhile, a red-haired woman is daydreaming alone and keeps sighing and muttering to herself. "He said he would meet me in the dream space, but he hasn't taken me there for two days."
Suddenly, a golden-haired woman tapped her on the shoulder and asked. "What are you thinking about, Mariel? Since we returned to our realm, you have felt uneasy."
"I'm not thinking about anything, Sophie," Mariel answered with a low sigh.
Sophie raised her eyebrows, sat beside her, and looked at her thoughtfully. "Are you thinking about Ling Yun?"
"Hmm? Why are you asking about that?" Mariel asked with a straight face, but she felt a shock inside.
"Hey, Mariel! We've been together for a long time and spent much time together, so I know you very well." Sophie said as she cupped her cheeks. "A few days ago, I saw you smiling after you woke up from your sleep, and you were also rubbing your lips like someone just kissed someone else. At first, I couldn't believe it, but I now believe you are entangled in worldly feelings. My guess was right, right?"
"I-" Mariel didn't finish her words and nodded to her.
Sophie sighed softly. "Are you really in love with Ling Yun? But how did that happen?"
Mariel looked at Sophie for a moment, and she then told her about the time she had spent with Ling Yun.
Sophie didn't expect Ling Yun to have such an ability. "I don't want to pry into your personal matters, but you'd better think things over carefully. After all, you are an angel, and he is only human."
