192: My teacher Ningxing

Xiao Weiqing did not answer Tong Hui, but looked at Meng Lei instead.

"Do you know?"

Meng Lei didn't know Xiao Weiqing's intention, but still replied, "His father is Tong Xiangrui."

Xiao Weiqing nodded and asked again, "What about his grandfather? What is the strength of the strongest person in their Family?"

Meng Lei replied, "His grandfather is Tong Junyao, the strongest person in the Family, possessing Seventh Realm strength."

"Alright, I understand."

"You can go back and wait for news."

Tong Hui was stunned and angrily said, "Wait for news? What the hell is that supposed to mean?"

"Aren't you going to challenge me?"

"That's right. If you're a man, follow me."

Xiao Weiqing said calmly, "Before I left, my teacher told me to try not to cause trouble outside. I will decide whether to accept your challenge after reporting to my teacher."

Tong Hui snorted, believing Xiao Weiqing was chickening out.

Unexpectedly, Xiao Weiqing continued:

"Once my teacher agrees, I believe he will accompany me to pay your Family a visit."

"Pfft~~"

Wei Lan couldn't help but laugh when she heard Xiao Weiqing's words.

Even Meng Lei, who was standing beside them, was taken aback, and then he also laughed.

Tong Hui narrowed his eyes. "What do you mean?"

Meng Lei said, "Xiao Weiqing's teacher is Principal Ning of Luo Jiang Academy, Ning Xing."

"Principal Ning of Luo Jiang Academy?"

"Ning Xing? The Butcher of Ten Thousand!"

Tong Hui suddenly trembled, cold sweat breaking out on his forehead.

"Oh, it seems you've heard of my teacher? That makes things easier."

"Uh... that..."

Tong Hui panicked and started stuttering.

"I'm sorry, I drank too much alcohol just now. My apologies."

"Also, my surname is not Tong. Goodbye."

Tong Hui bowed sharply, immediately displayed the fastest Movement Technique of his life, and vanished from the banquet.

After Tong Hui left.

Xiao Weiqing murmured, "The Butcher of Ten Thousand? I didn't expect my teacher to have this title."

Meng Lei asked, "You didn't know?"

Xiao Weiqing shook his head.

Wei Hong said, "Twenty years ago, Principal Ning achieved a Breakthrough to the Seventh Realm and took the position of Principal of Luo Jiang Academy."

"That same year, an incident occurred within Luo Jiang Prefecture: a certain Seventh Realm Expert stripped a Genius of their Level 6 Extraordinary Talent for the sake of their own offspring."

"As luck would have it, that person had already been recruited by Luo Jiang Academy. This action was undoubtedly a slap in the face to Great Xia, and even more so, to Ning Xing."

"You must have heard later that that Family was almost wiped out. Ning Xing was the first to act.

He single-handedly showed up at their door, crippled the long-famous Seventh Realm Expert with two slaps, and when the Family tried to resist, Ning Xing went on a killing spree. Few people above the Fourth Realm were left."

"This incident spread throughout Great Xia back then."

"It was only because the officials intervened later, otherwise..."

Meng Lei estimated that few people below the Fourth Realm in that Family would have been spared either, let alone having the chance to redeem themselves at the entrance to the Demon Realm.

"Of course, Principal Ning was already famous during the Sixth Realm, having done many crazy things."

Xiao Weiqing was startled upon hearing this; his teacher certainly had a reputation.

On the other side.

When Wei Qifan saw Tong Hui scurrying away in defeat, he winked at another young man.

The young man nodded and strode up to Xiao Weiqing.

Unexpectedly, Xiao Weiqing spoke first, "Who are the powerful experts in his Family?"

Meng Lei laughed, "About the same as Tong Hui just now."

Xiao Weiqing understood. "My teacher is Ning Xing. What is your father's name?"

The young man froze on the spot, and the next second, his eyes widened suddenly. "Your teacher, Ning Xing? The Butcher of Ten Thousand?"

Xiao Weiqing looked at Meng Lei with an inquiring gaze.

Meng Lei said, "His father is..."

"Cough... cough... Meng Lei, stop talking. It's inconvenient to reveal my esteemed father's name. You all chat, I must take my leave."

The young man used his Innate Skill and bolted away, his speed even faster than Tong Hui's.

Wei Qifan, who was not far away, watched everything with a gloomy expression.

Following this.

No one else came forward to bother them; none of the attendees were fools.

The banquet didn't last much longer.

Everyone who came was a top-tier Genius, unwilling to waste time on alcohol and frivolities.

"I'm leaving, Xiao Weiqing. If you have time, you can visit Xinchang Academy."

"Next time."

Meng Lei and Zhang Rong waved goodbye.

"Brother Qing, I'm sorry."

Xiao Weiqing pinched Wei Lan's delicate cheek and said, "Why are you suddenly apologizing?"

"It's just that earlier..."

"Hahaha..."

Xiao Weiqing was amused. "I didn't take it to heart."

"Let's go, let's hurry back."

"Hurry back?"

Wei Lan's face suddenly flushed. "Oh."

The two returned to the Villa.

"Come on, upstairs."

They arrived at the Cultivation Room.

Wei Lan's face grew even redder. "Brother Qing... are we doing it here?"

"Of course. Where else?"

"Fine... alright."

Wei Lan lowered her head and drew the curtains.

"Why are you drawing the curtains?"

"Huh?"

Wei Lan looked shyly embarrassed. "Shouldn't... shouldn't we draw the curtains?"

Xiao Weiqing was stunned, realizing Wei Lan had misunderstood. He teased, "What is that little head of yours thinking?"

"I have something for you."

"Something for me?"

"Mhm."

Xiao Weiqing's smile deepened.

"Why didn't you say so earlier?"

"Thump!"

Wei Lan's face was flushed with embarrassment, and she bumped her head against Xiao Weiqing's chest.

"Cough... cough... My mistake."

No longer teasing Wei Lan, Xiao Weiqing took out the Incomplete Scroll of the Starry Sky Contemplation Method.

"Here, use your Mental Energy."

"Just like learning an Innate Skill."

Wei Lan nodded, took the Handkerchief, and sat down cross-legged.

Half an hour later.

Wei Lan's tightly furrowed brows relaxed. She opened her eyes, her face filled with disbelief.

"A method for Divine Soul Cultivation?"

"Brother Qing, you gave this to me, but what about you?"

"I have a better one, which I obtained previously at Civilization Relic No. 1, but only I can use it," Xiao Weiqing explained.

Wei Lan quickly said, "Brother Qing, I didn't mean it that way. Thank you."

"Why are you thanking me?"

Wei Lan glanced at Xiao Weiqing, and her face suddenly flushed with shyness.

"Bro... Brother Qing, go and draw the curtains."

"Hm?"

...Outside the Villa.

Wei Zhiyuan, who was about to knock, turned and left.

"Old Nan, come back with me."

"?

A look of horror appeared on Nan Yu's pale face.

"Again?"

...The next day.

Evening.

Wei Zhiyuan and Nan Yu invited Xiao Weiqing and Wei Lan to their home for dinner, a Family Banquet with only four people.

"Come, please sit down quickly."

Wei Zhiyuan was beaming and instructed, "Aunt Lin, serve the dishes once the soup is ready."

"Yes, Madam."

"Weiqing, how long will you be staying here?"

Xiao Weiqing replied, "Auntie, if Wei Lan's Cultivation proceeds smoothly, I will leave in a couple of days."

"Wei Lan's Cultivation?"

"Brother Qing gave me an Innate Skill."

A smile appeared on Wei Zhiyuan's face. "I see."

The group chatted about daily life for a while, and the sky gradually darkened.

"Mom, I'm heading back."

"Mhm, go ahead."

Wei Lan pulled Xiao Weiqing, preparing to leave.

"Wait, Xiao Weiqing, you'll stay here tonight, staying with me," Nan Yu said.

Xiao Weiqing looked puzzled, wondering what Nan Yu was up to.

"Old Nan, what are you doing?"

"Nothing much. I just want to chat more with Xiao Weiqing and get to know him better. Otherwise, how can I feel assured handing Wei Lan over to him?"

Wei Zhiyuan looked confused and scrutinized him. "Really?"

Nan Yu's eyes flickered, but in order to live a few more years, he braced himself and said:

"Of course."

"Alright then, I'll stay over at Lan Lan's place for the night. It's been a long time since I had a heart-to-heart talk with Lan Lan."

"Mhm, go ahead. It's true that you two haven't had time alone for a while. You should talk more often in the future."

"Lan Lan, let's go."

Wei Zhiyuan led the pouting Wei Lan away.

Seeing Wei Zhiyuan leave, Nan Yu breathed a sigh of relief.

He said to Xiao Weiqing:

"Feel free to pick any Guest Room on the first floor. Stay here tonight. Remember, if your Auntie asks tomorrow, say that we talked deep into the night."

Having said that.

Nan Yu held his waist and, with unsteady legs, went up to the third floor to rest...
