"Master, I've sent those recordings to Zhao Yuxian, and she's watched them all. She's left her house and is on her way to the airport now. By the way, I've given her Yang Shiya's address, and she should be heading there as soon as she arrives in that city." Xiao Ai informed Tang Xiao, who had just finished his training in the training grounds.
Tang Xiao turned to her. "How long does it take to travel from this city to that city?"
"The flight there takes two hours, and Zhao Yuxian's plane will leave at 6 pm, Master."
"Hmm?" Tang Xiao thought for a while. "Is Yi An meeting finished?"
"Not yet." Xiao Ai shook her head. "The CCTV footage from the room showed that Yi An was engaged in a tough discussion with several people, and since they had not yet reached an agreement, I assumed her meeting would still take a long time to finish."
"I see." Tang Xiao nodded in understanding. "I'll go out now and wait for Yi An there. If her meeting isn't finished by 6 p.m., I want you to do something to delay Zhao Yuxian's flight."
"Leave it to me, Master."
Thereafter, Tang Xiao returned to the hotel parking lot and cultivated in the car while waiting for Yi An to finish her meeting.

Tang Yin and Tang Yuan listened to Hong Yi's report that she had successfully completed her task, and she then ordered her to keep an eye on Ouyang Ming.
After Tang Yuan went to meet her clients, Tang Yin went straight into the ark, and she went straight to the factory to meet Yu Xiaoling, who was supervising the production process for her products.
Since there were no problems with the production process for her products, Tang Yin asked Yu Xiaoling to focus on her cultivation, as her Yin Qi would be useful for Tang Xiao.
Tang Yin then went to the main control to meet Xiao Ai, and after checking some things, she went to the training ground.
Even though Xiao Ai had imparted all kinds of martial arts to her mind, Tang Yin still needed to practice manually because she had never practiced anything before. Furthermore, as a cultivator, she couldn't rely solely on her cultivation, and she needed excellent fighting skills to protect herself and fight her enemies.

Xing Xing was sitting opposite her mother, but she felt confused about how to tell her about cultivators, and she was afraid that Chu Lingxi would think she had gone crazy.
Chu Lingxi grabbed Xing Xing's hand. "Why do you look a little strange, Xing'er? Is there something you want to tell me?"
"Mom, I want to tell you something, but I'm having a hard time explaining it to you, so I'll show it to you directly." Xing Xing stretched out her hand and opened her palm, but Chu Lingxi was stunned when she saw the lightning flashing above it.
"How can you do such a thing, Xing'er? Did you use any tricks to do it?" Chu Lingxi asked as her eyes continued to pay attention to the lightning above her daughter's palm. "In my entire life, I have only seen such a thing in films, but your lightning looks so real."
Xing Xing dispelled it and smiled strangely. "As you can see just now, my lightning is a real thing, and it originates from my lightning element."
"A lightning element?" Chu Lingxi looked at her with an incomprehensible expression.
"Yes." Xing Xing nodded and spoke to her. "Honestly, I only learned it yesterday, so I still need time to understand it, and Big Sis Tang Yin taught it to me."
"Tang Yin?"
Then, Xing Xing explained several things to her mother, especially about cultivators and Earth II, which shocked and baffled Chu Lingxi. "It's really difficult for me to explain the details to you, but I will teach you to become a cultivator. You can experience for yourself the advantages of being a cultivator like us, and you will know the difference between cultivators and ordinary humans."
"Can I really become a cultivator?"
"En." Xing Xing replied with a nod. "Big Sis Yin told me that you have cultivator veins, which means you can become a cultivator like us. However, we can only find out your element after you start cultivating, and I will guide you to absorb qi from the air."
"Hmm?" Chu Lingxi suddenly realized something. "Does my recovery have anything to do with Yin'er?"
Xing Xing sighed softly after hearing that. "Actually, it was Tang Xiao who cured your illness, but he did it without my prior knowledge, and I only found out about everything yesterday."
"Xiao'er?" Chu Lingxi was taken back for a moment before smiling. "Is he out of prison now? Is he okay?"
"Tang Xiao is out of prison, and he was the first to become a cultivator. Then, he taught Big Sis Yin to become one." However, Chu Lingxi noticed a change in her daughter's expression, and Xing Xing looked a little strange, but she immediately grabbed her mother's hand. "Mom, I want to tell you one other thing, but—"
"Do you want to tell me about your feelings for Xiao'er?" Chu Lingxi interrupted her as she smiled, and Xing Xing nodded at her. "Honestly, I have long noticed that you are attracted to him, but you have never dared to express your feelings to him. You felt that you were not suitable for him because of our family situation, and you also continued to study hard so as not to disappoint me."
"That's right." Xing Xing answered with a soft sigh. "However, Tang Xiao already has a girlfriend now, so I feel confused about my feelings, and I'm afraid that you will be angry with me if I get into a relationship with him."
Chu Lingxi turned to ask Xing Xing. "Who is Tang Xiao's girlfriend? When did he meet her if he just got out of prison?"
"Mom, they've actually known each other for a long time, but they only became lovers recently." Xing Xing is unsure whether to tell her mother about hubungan antara Tang Xiao dan Tang Yin because Chu Lingxi was an ordinary human who had to abide by law and custom, and she might be disappointed if she learned about their relationship. "Mom, I can't tell you about his girlfriend's identity for now, but you will find out about her in the future."
Chu Lingxi raised her eyebrows. "Are you thinking about becoming Xiao'er's girlfriend too?"
"Yes." Even though she was afraid her mother would be disappointed, Xing Xing still chose to tell Chu Lingxi about her true feelings. "Mom, I cannot have the same feelings for another man as I do for Tang Xiao, and I want to be his girlfriend. I know that you don't want me to be involved in such a relationship, but these are my true feelings. I would rather not deny my feelings, so I hope you are willing to approve if I become his girlfriend."
Chu Lingxi did not immediately agree or reject her daughter's wishes. "Does Xiao'er's girlfriend know about your feelings for him? Is she willing to accept you?"
"She knows about my feelings, and she asked me to be her second girlfriend, but I haven't given her any answer because I want to hear your opinion first."
"Honestly, I hope that you will find a man who only loves you, but I understand your feelings." Chu Lingxi sighed softly and rubbed her daughter's hand. Since you love Xiao'er so much and his first girlfriend accepts your relationship with him, I won't forbid you from being in a relationship with him. However, that kind of relationship is not common, and people will talk badly about you if they know about it, so you have to be prepared to face the consequences."
"Thank you, Mom!" Xing Xing's smile bloomed and she hugged Chu Lingxi with a joyful expression. "I know the risks, but I'm not afraid of them. I just want to be Tang Xiao's girlfriend, and I will face all the consequences."
Thereafter, Xing Xing taught her mother to absorb qi from the air, but Chu Lingxi seemed to have difficulty understanding it, so she explained everything to her slowly.

Ouyang Ming kept shivering because of the intense cold that spread throughout his body, and his lips became pale blue because of it. Even his whole body seemed to be frozen from within, which rendered him unable to move.
Ouyang Ming was lucky that his little sister suddenly entered his room because he had missed his breakfast, and Ouyang Qing decided to check his condition.
"What happened to you, brother?" Ouyang Qing asked as she approached her brother on the bed, but she immediately withdrew her hand after she touched his body. "So cold! How can your body be this cold?"
Unfortunately, Ouyang Ming couldn't open his mouth to say anything because his lips were tightly closed like they were frozen, and he could only shake his head slightly toward Ouyang Qing.
"I'll call Doctor Ling right now, brother." However, Ouyang Qing froze in place the moment she saw her reflection in the mirror, mainly because several lumps of pus appeared on her face, and she panicked at the sight. "Shit! Why did my face suddenly become like this? Tch! I have to go to a beauty salon to get rid of them! Otherwise, Luo Qinlin and the others would make fun of me if they saw my face like this!"
