Chapter 52: Each strives in their own way, and the community naturally follows the same wind.
Seeing her smile, Xu Tianyi felt very happy.
Perhaps she had never been this happy in the fifteen years since the lamb died.
In the darkness of the night, Xu Tianyi gently stroked her cheek.
Ning Hongye was stunned for a moment, but instead of dodging, she grabbed his hand.
"I never imagined I would fall for someone as weak as you..."
Xu Tianyi chuckled: "Look at you, even at a time like this you still can't resist mocking me..."
Ning Hongye smiled slightly: "I'm afraid that next time we meet, you'll really be better than me, and then I won't be able to call you useless anymore..."
She witnessed Xu Tianyi's rapid advancement, from a martial artist to a martial spirit.
He only took three short months.
I feel happy every day I spend with him.
He would make himself laugh and argue with himself. Even if he said something really hurtful, he would just laugh it off and not take it to heart at all.
He was so tolerant and loving towards himself.
He is intelligent and ambitious, with exceptional talent, and even his martial arts skills surpass those of others.
The most terrifying thing is that, without realizing it, she had actually agreed to marry him along with Qinghan.
He can be ambiguous with me in front of Qinghan without making Qinghan angry, and he can also make me feel less neglected when I envy him and Qinghan.
As she thought about it, Ning Hongye smiled.
"Are you really willing to marry me?"
Xu Tianyi remained silent, then removed the red cloth from her head.
"This time, I'm revealing it willingly..."
Ning Hongye blushed and hugged him tightly.
"What about Qinghan?"
Xu Tianyi gently patted her back.
"Qinghan won't be angry. To her, both you and I are very important."
Silently feeling her gentle body temperature, Xu Tianyi felt very happy.
In my past life, I was all alone; now, I have a family.
The girl in his arms, though she seemed strong, was actually just an ordinary girl who was rebellious and longed for love.
I understand her past and I'm tolerant of her temper.
Similarly, I think that such a proud and arrogant girl is really quite nice.
"Squeak..."
"Um...maybe I...came at the wrong time..."
Gu Qinghan pushed open the door and entered. Seeing this scene, she was a little lost and disappointed.
Xu Tianyi laughed heartily: "Wrong!! You've come at just the right time..."
Ning Hongye sat up straight and looked at her with a smile.
Gu Qinghan hesitated for a moment, then slowly stepped forward.
The three of them sat down on the edge of the bed.
"Red Night...why didn't you tell me you were leaving?"
Ning Hongye lowered her head and sighed, "Parting is the saddest thing. I'm afraid if I wake you up, you won't want to leave..."
Gu Qinghan took her hand.
"It's alright, we'll meet again someday. When we get stronger, we'll storm Juku Continent, steal that Immortal Mask, and then go save your mother!"
Ning Hongye chuckled immediately: "You guys? Are you sure you can handle it? Don't hold me back..."
Gu Qinghan rolled her eyes at her: "I'm a Grandmaster now, Hong Ye, stop being so arrogant..."
"Hahaha..."
For a moment, all three people in the room burst into laughter.
They chatted about the past, seemingly having endless things to say and feelings to express.
For the first time, the three of them slept side by side, almost becoming sworn brothers.
The next day, the three of them made breakfast together.
Afterwards, Ning Hongye rode away slowly on horseback.
"Each strives in their own way, and though separated by a thousand miles, they share the same breeze."
Xu Tianyi left behind a poem as he watched his beloved depart.
Looking back, I saw tears soaking my clothes in the cold.
The two returned to the courtyard, packed some valuables, and then left together.
. . .
Three days later.
Leizhou, Taikang County.
The Wuji Empire was divided into nine provinces.
Then came cities, counties, townships, and villages.
Taikang County is located within the jurisdiction of Muhua City, Leizhou.
A branch of the Leiling River passes through this area.
When the two arrived, they only planned to rest for one night and then continue their journey.
But unexpectedly, a torrential downpour arrived in an instant.
The two had no choice but to stay.
Although martial artists are not afraid of wind and rain, they will inevitably be exhausted if they use their inner energy to travel.
With their pursuers gone, the two of them felt much more relaxed, spending the rest of their journey either cultivating on the boat or constantly taking drugs.
Xu Tianyi discovered that when he took the medicine directly, the demon core in his body would help him digest and store the medicinal power.
The medicines Ji Yingying gave him were all over a hundred years old.
Moreover, there is a thousand-year-old medicinal herb inside.
This was something the King of Chu specifically requested, and she secretly gave it to Xu Tianyi.
Coincidentally, Xu Tianyi's demon core came from his mother.
His mother was a resurrected flower spirit, which could be considered a plant.
Demon cores naturally have unique and wonderful uses.
This also made his body increasingly stronger. After taking the medicine, he used blood control and blood refining techniques to mobilize the blood and qi throughout his body, enhancing the strength and resilience of his meridians, bones, and flesh.
By doing so, one's cultivation will no longer encounter bottlenecks, allowing one's essence, energy, and spirit to steadily increase.
He also studied the jade pendant and found that its main purpose was not to exhale true energy.
Instead, it enhances soul power.
Those with strong soul power will also have increased intelligence.
Intelligence and IQ are not the same thing.
Intelligence represents a person's level of mental agility, memory, mental resilience, and sixth sense.
Comparatively speaking, people with high intelligence can keep their minds at their peak most of the time and are less likely to feel tired.
The benefits of improving memory are self-evident.
For example, if you encounter an enemy and after a brief probing, you can remember their moves and habits, and naturally you can predict their next move.
Therefore, Xu Tianyi is not lacking in spirit, but in vitality.
Qi is the accumulation of one's own cultivation.
Previously, his cultivation level had increased dramatically by emitting true energy from the jade pendant.
But he hasn't been fighting recently. Even the last time, it was Ning Hongye who went into battle, and he was just there to support him.
During this time, he perfectly absorbed all the true energy he had stored in the jade pendant.
But he is still trying to figure out how to get it again.
For example, right now, he took the initiative to escort an old man to the clinic to see a doctor.
As a result, the jade pendant did not emit any true energy.
This made him somewhat suspicious. He had clearly done something righteous, so why hadn't he released his true energy?
Could it be that this jade pendant is meant to kill someone in order to release true energy?
Then he suddenly realized, this isn't a righteous magical artifact, is it?
So he sat in his room on the third floor of the inn, looking at the torrential rain below, and fell into deep thought.
