54 Xun Weis Master (1/2)

”It seems you like to poach in places where you are not welcome. Does that give you pleasure, grandmother?”.

Xiao Fang was still incredibly weak, but ever since he cultivated with Little Hei he was just barely able to make himself move through the pain.

The moonlight shone brightly from behind him, darkening his face, and he sat on the edge of a small cliff as he looked down at the two of them below.

Xiao Fang's grandmother was dumbstruck , she was expecting him to be bedridden for at least a few more days. Was he some kind of monster?

”Xiao Fang... I just came by to see how you were doing, but it seems you are recovering just fine without my help”.

There was a moment of silence before Xiao Fang spoke.

”As you can see, I'm making a quick recovery. So if that's all you came to say, then please leave”.

She didn't respond to his disrespectful tone, instead she took out her spatial pouch and tossed it in his direction. Inside Xiao Fang found a sword and some strong spirit pills.

He took the sword out to get a better look at it. The blade was black, but the blade's edge was as light as silver. The handle was nicely rounded and the balance was incredible; it suited his strength perfectly. Holding it in his hands, it felt like it was now an extension of himself.

”This sword is best suited for a swordsman in the Solid Body realm. It will reduce your backlash by up to 87%, increase your attack power by up to 40%, and attack speed by at least 15%. This is a valuable gift I received in the royal court. Take it, I am giving it to you” Xiao Fang's grandmother told him.

Whenever Xiao Fang's father went out to the royal court, Xiao Fang's grandmother would always arrive to take over while he was gone. She knew Xiao Fang didn't like her, so when she came, she'd always bring a few gifts for him, but he'd always stubbornly reject them. To her surprise, this time was different.

”Thank you, grandmother. This is a valuable gift”.

Xiao Fang's grandmother was a bit surprised when she heard him thank her.

”So, does that mean we can forget past grievances and move on?”, she asked a bit hesitantly.

Xiao Fang frowned. Seeing his lack of response, she smiled bitterly.

”I suppose I should've expected as much. I'm glad that you liked my gift and hope you recover soon. I'll be on my way”.

She then took one last look at Xun Wei.

”Once you've made up your mind, you know where to find me”, she said with a gentle smile.

The moment she left, Xiao Fang collapsed. He had been just barely hanging on the whole time, that's why he couldn't say much to her.

When Xiao Fang woke up he was back on his bed. Laying next to him was Li Lian sleeping soundly like before as her fiery aura was healing him.

On the other side of him sat Xun Wei.

”Xun Wei...”

”Xiao Fang, you shouldn't have gotten out of bed”, she said as she fed him a healing spirit pill.

Truth was, Xiao Fang could only vaguely detect his grandmother's presence. Not knowing who she was, Xiao Fang assumed the worst when Xun Wei began fighting her. Luckily, it wasn't an intruder, but at that point the harm had already been done, he now couldn't move his body again and his condition had worsened. However, the pills that were in his grandmother's spatial pouch helped him heal considerably.

”I had to be sure you were safe”, he said to her simply.

After a brief moment of silence, Xiao Fang asked,

”So, what will you do?”.

”I don't know. I was hoping you could give me the answer to that. Would you be upset if I take her up on her offer?”.

”Upset? why would I be upset?”

”You seemed to have a bad relationship with your grandmother. I just thought...”

”I can't make every decision for you, especially one pertaining to who you choose to take as your master. You are a strong, smart, and very capable woman, no matter what path you take I will always support you”.

Though he didn't want her to depend on him to make these kinds of decisions, deep down he hoped that she would take his grandmother up on her offer. Just like Li Lian and himself, although their love for each other is strong, cultivation is paramount. The fact that Xun Wei had to ask for his permission at all showed just how deeply she cared for him.

”I will do it”, Xun Wei said with a determined expression.

”Good, now go. She'll be waiting for you”.

In the middle of the night, Xun Wei stood just outside of the inner gate doors. If there was anywhere Xiao Fang's grandmother would be, it would be here.

Xun Wei curiously placed her hand on the door as she began to circulate the sword qi through her body. When she opened her eyes a silver tint could be seen in her eyes. She began to push the door, but it would only open a crack.

”I take it that you've made your decision”, Xiao Fang's grandmother said behind Xun Wei.

”I have. If you are still willing, please take me in as your disciple”, she said with a slight bow.

Xiao Fang's grandmother smiled lightly by her words.

”Good. Your training starts tomorrow. I will meet you here in the morning. Go get some rest”.

”Yes, Master”
