Chapter 8: Qi-Refinement And Heaven-Grade Spirit Art
"Even though my father is a genius back then, he has aged. The Sword Cloud Manor favors young genius, and my brother was this genius... Without this, the Zhao family would soon make their move."
"This is because the Zhao have their Zhao Gongzu, the genius of the younger generation, thus gaining the support of the Sword Cloud Manor!" She murmured under her breath, then her eyes lit up as she continued.
"I heard he has reached Seventh Body Tempering Stage being only fourteen years old."
"Hmph! In front of my older brother, what talent does he amount to? Nothing!"
Seeing this, he let out a light chuckle. It was an amusing sight at the very least.
Wasn’t Shi Jing at the Peak of Body Tempering, being only thirteen year old himself? He didn’t bring it up and sighed.
"If the Zhao family achieved their desired goal, then I, as the representative of your Ming family, wouldn’t I be facing their wraith next?" He said, shaking his head.
Perhaps it was to reassure her of his support, or to remind himself of his current circumstance.
Regardless of the former or latter, she seemed to form her own thoughts and concern as she whispered.
"If only my older brother is here... Then the Zhao family wouldn’t dare make a sound."
He didn’t ask about her brother, or other affairs of their family.
