Chapter 363 - Proud and Arrogant

Xiao Gaode did not look too happy as well. He glared at his daughter and understood that he had pampered her too much, which had almost caused a disaster this time. He dared not imagine if Ling Chuxi had been angered into leaving and what the consequences would have been for his father. Luckily, everything had gone smoothly this time. If she spoke rudely in front of any experts in the future, it would bring disaster upon the Xiao Family and that would be terrible. Xiao Tianwen kept her head down and did not dare speak. She knew that her coming days would not be so easy anymore.

“Miss Ling, if I am not mistaken, your cultivation should be above the Great Fulfilment, right?” Old Master Xiao asked good-naturedly.

“Yes it is,” Ling Chuxi did not hide the truth and replied with a smile. Of course, it was thanks to Old Master Xiao that her cultivation could improve so much, but she could not say that.

“Such incredible accomplishments at such a young age,” Old Master Xiao said admiringly. He could see that Ling Chuxi was still quite young. After he finished speaking, he looked at Xiao Tianfan approvingly. He was silently praising Xiao Tianfan for befriending a person with such potential. Xiao Tianfan’s gaze met Old Master Xiao’s gaze and straightened his body, his face filled with happiness.

The banquet ended with everyone enjoying themselves to the fullest.

At dawn, a carriage departed from the Xiao Residence and headed towards Ding Lin Country at full speed. It had been dispatched by the Xiao Family to send Ling Chuxi to Ding Lin Country.

At the same time, Luo Li had also taken a few other carriages which were filled with various valuable and rare medicinal herbs. Under the escort of the Xiao Family, he returned to Nan Xia Country. Those items were what Ling Chuxi had reaped from Master Sun’s clinic.

It could be said that Ling Chuxi had reaped an abundant reward from her trip to the Xiao family this time. Besides those medicinal herbs, her cultivation had also stepped from the Primary stage of the Great Fulfilment into the realm of the Intermediate stage in one go.

Before departing, Xiao Tianfan had purposely looked for Ling Chuxi to spar with her. Ling Chuxi was unclear about what he had gained, but she herself now had a deeper understanding of the Turning Cloud Gesture of the Xiao Family.

She believed that if she could comprehend it further, that pirated Turning Cloud Gesture of hers would be even more perfect. When that happened, maybe even Old Master Xiao might not recognize that her Turning Cloud Gesture was secretly learned from the Xiao Family.

…

“I never would have thought that she was Ling Chuxi.” On the city walls, Xiao Tianying spoke ruefully as he watched the carriages departing. Xiao Tianying had not spoken much to Ling Chuxi, but the cultivation that Ling Chuxi had displayed had frightened him. This was the young lady who had won the Nan Xia Country fighting ring competition – not only was her cultivation tyrannical, even her medical skills were divine. She had cured a sickness which even Master Luo Li could not!

What Xiao Tianying could not understand was that despite having been defeated by her with a single finger, Xiao Tianfan had actually become friends with Chuxi. If it were him, he could never have done that, as he was proud and arrogant.

“I know what you are thinking, Tianying. Even though your innate talent is stronger than Tianfan’s, your character is not like his. The road of martial arts knows no limits. If you are unable to be humble, perhaps your achievements in the future may not be as good as Tianfan’s,” Old Master Xiao said sincerely.

Xiao Tianying frowned and did not say anything.

“I know that you will not listen to what I have to say now. Only when you have suffered will you understand.” Old Master Xiao sighed softly. He really loved this grandson of his very much and he could understand his temperament very well. Proud and arrogant! This was a good thing, but a bad thing as well. His arrogance would not allow him to fail, so he would keep working harder to raise his cultivation, but once he failed, one could only imagine the blow to his pride. He was afraid that he could not handle such a thing.
