He has to play long and safe, calculations were made. If he sticks to his plan, he will definitely get the chance to redeem the past.
As long as he is alive, one opportunity and he will have endless chances to get everything back.
So, he wasn't worried about the loss of 'Green core lotus Flame' and 'Qing Lin' and so on...
He was a smart and a rational man. He knew that it was impossible to get anything from there. He was well aware that, this was the world full of ruthlessness people, who will not live even his bones behind.
And he knew that he was not in a game or novel, but it was reality. And he definitely can die. So, he must play safe to reach to the height where he can openly leave behind a mark of his presence in this world for the future generation of the transmigrators.
As he was deep within his train of thoughts, he heard the sound of high hills from some distance away from him.
Hearing it, he tilted his head to look back. And there he found, his sister! Xiao Yu.
Seeing her, he thought, "Why is she here?"
She came in front of Xiao Ning, looked into his eyes and said with a board expression, "Are you training alone out here?"
"Alone? Huh? Do we need partner to train or what?" Replied Xiao Ning with sarcasm. Because according to him, training is something that has to be done alone, you can't enjoy with you Dao couple and train as well. Two things at once always brings disaster.
Hearing the sarcasm in her brother's voice, she raised an eyebrow and said with some dissatisfaction, "You cheeky brat! Don't act so tough.
By the way, how is your training going on. Did you stabilize your realm at 9th layer?"
"Huh? 9th layer?" He repeated her words with some confusion. Because he had already broken through the Dou Practitioner stage, so obviously he was taken aback upon hearing this question.
"What? Didn't you break through the 9th layer?" She asked upon seeing him react like this.
" Oh... well, I have already broken through the Dou Practitioner stage." He said in low voice.
"Oh, Dou Practitioner huh? Good!! Good..." she praised for a while but suddenly something clicked within her mind and she shouted.
"What the heck you brat! How dare you lie to me?"
Seeing her react like this, Xiao Ning took a deep breath of air and channeled a hot, pale whitish-black colour Dou Qi on his hand and said, "This, colourful hot Dou Qi... is this answer sufficient enough. Or, do I need to show something else?
And yes, about this matter, don't talk to anyone. Nobody means Nobody. Not even grandfather. Ok." Explained Xiao Ning with no change in his emotion.
Seeing the pale whitish-black colour Dou Qi, Xiao Yu put her hand on her small mouth in awe and amazement. After a while, she removed her hand from her mouth and said, "How did you do it? Is it even possible? It has only been 3 months since you became a 9th star Dou Disciple.
How can you grow so fast?" She was literally shocked to her Core. At present only she knew how hard it was for her to control her excitement and shock.
Xiao Ning just nodded but didn't say anything extra.
" Huff... it feels like we have one more talented person in your Xiao Clan. But how did you do it?
In case of Xiao Yan, it is understandable as he was talented from childhood, but how did you do it?
Has the last beating unlocked your hidden potential? If it did, then we should be thankful to Xiao Yan." She said in a sarcastic tone.
Xiao Ning scoffed and said with disgust, "Don't talk nonsense, few days ago, I stumbled across a herb near this place, which greatly helped me reach my bottleneck.
And it was also the reason for my breakthrough into the Dou Practitioner realm."
"Oh!! So, it was like this, huh? So, you think, I'm an idiot, huh? Did you thought that, your unusual behaviour will get unnoticed by me and grandfather, huh?
Do you think, we haven't noticed the subtle changes in your nature and such huge change in your behaviour." She said with some disappointment.
Xiao Ning's hands shook a bit. His body tensed, but soon he controlled his emotions and body.
He thought, 'Hmm... it feels like I underestimated them!! They have emotion of their own, and they definitely would find it strange when someone so close to them will take a 180 degree turn in his behaviour. Even if it is in good direction.
I will have to think twice in future before doing such things, every action of mine can alter the reality which could very well be against me. I hope they won't stretch the matter and let me be in my situation and think it as a side effect from the last beating. ' He analysed with calm mind.
"Oh... well but don't worry, we won't ask you anything, you don't want to tell. I know there is definitely something you are hiding, but it's good as long as you don't want to tell, I won't force you. You cheeky brat!" She said with a slight smile with concern clearly visible in her eyes.
"And by the way, why don't you take your revenge from Xiao Yan, now that you have become a Dou Practitioner, he definitely won't be a match to you. "She asked with some about.
"Huh? Revenge? Didn't I say you? That not even you can beat him. He is in a completely different league right now. We are not his match, at least not right now.
And don't worry about that matter, when the time will present an opportunity, I won't miss. And for the time being forget about revenge and all. Just focus on developing yourself." Explained, Xiao Ning with a calm face, as if it was a trivial matter, and he will deal with it according to him.
"You really have changed, and is he really that strong? I thought you were joking! But how did he become so much power?" She asked with a bit of confusion.
"I don't know too much either, I just know that, he is got a powerful teacher behind him. And that strong man has accepted him as his student.... this is the reason behind his phenomenal growth." Explained Xiao Ning with a pondering look, as if he was not sure of these words he was speaking.
"How do you know all this? You definitely are hiding a lot of things! Phew... but since you won't tell me. I won't force you, but don't train too much and harm yourself. And take care, now I will get going. By!!" She said with a defeated expression, as if she can't do anything about him, accept support him from background.
She turned around to leave, but before she could go, Xiao Ning seeing her defeated expression said, "Big, Sis!! Thank you for understanding me. I definitely will tell you everything in future. Trust me.
