Chapter 226: Chapter 225: Little Beauty Is Very Strong
She left the small inn and went straight to the milk tea shop in Jiali Plaza.
There weren\'t many customers in the milk tea shop at the moment; Su Qin was busy working.
"Mom." Pretty Girl\'s eyes softened when she saw her, and she called out with a bit of playful coyness.
"You\'re back, come on in," Su Qin beckoned to her.
Pretty Girl entered the shop from the side, casually picked up a cup of milk tea to drink, but Su Qin snatched it away, "Drink less milk tea. Too much isn\'t good for your health."
"Mm-hmm," Pretty Girl was very obedient in front of her mother, not showing any hint of her persona as a night assassin.
"Is Xiaoling resting?" asked Pretty Girl.
"Yes. It\'s been quite quiet these days, so I told her to take a break," said Su Qin with a smile.
"That guy really showed up," Pretty Girl whispered.
"Asura?" A spark flashed in Su Qin\'s eyes.
"Mm." Pretty Girl nodded and softly recounted what had happened earlier.
Su Qin narrowed her eyes, "Do you think he can be trusted?"
"At least for now, he has been helping me, and he also hopes I can trust him," answered Pretty Girl.
"I\'ve already asked our superiors about this person but haven\'t received a response. Did the mayor say last time he could be trusted?" asked Su Qin.
"Yes," Pretty Girl confirmed, "the mayor said so; otherwise, I would have taken action against him already. Mom, my cultivation has been stagnating lately, and the speed of improvement has slowed down noticeably. What should I do?" Pretty Girl furrowed her brows.
"It\'s normal," Su Qin said softly. "After reaching the Seventh Stage of cultivation, it slows down for any bloodline. Moreover, you have a dual bloodline, so it\'s normal to slow down a bit. Has Wang Qing been looking for you lately?"
"Yes, he has sought me out twice to inquire about my progress. He seems a bit nervous about the auction event. Over at the Ancestral Court, I\'m afraid they won\'t just let it go, especially the New Emperor."
Su Qin spoke seriously, "This could very well be a huge crisis we will face, but at the same time, it is also an opportunity. You continue with the plan for now, and I will help you check this Asura to see if he can really be trusted."
"Okay," Pretty Girl nodded.
Su Qin pulled her into her arms and sighed lightly, "You\'re not even fourteen yet, but you\'re already carrying too much, too many things. Yet, in this world, there is simply no place for us humans to live. If we don\'t struggle and fight hard, we will only become slaves. You are the hope of all humanity, so you can only bear this heavy burden. Mom will always be by your side, always protecting you."
"Mom, I understand. You don\'t have to worry about me, Little Beauty is very strong," said Pretty Girl, lifting her head and smiling at her mother like a blooming flower.
Seeing her daughter\'s smile, Su Qin\'s eyes reddened a bit.
Asura did not return to Jiali Academy; he changed back into Tang San halfway and went directly to Redemption Academy.
The Wind Wolf Tribe, a place of vivid memories for him, the Ancestral House of the Wind Wolf Tribe. He wondered if the old priest from the town was still there; if so, that would be great.
His initial negative emotions toward the Monsters had all stemmed from the Wind Wolf Tribe.
In his former life, as the founder of Tang Sect, Tang Sect was most skilled in not only hidden weapons and many supreme arts but also poison was another significant category.
After arriving in this world, especially in the Jiali Academy Shop, Tang San had comprehended many rare spiritual herbs and had essentially mastered their properties.
The plants and poisons in this world are different from those in my previous life, but many of the principles are the same. For someone like me, a grandmaster of poison, concocting poisons is incredibly easy. It\'s even much easier than inscribing magic arrays, because after all, this is my strongest ability.
Back in my room, after carefully studying the map of the Ancestral House of the Wind Wolf Clan, Tang San left his room and headed for the Redemption Academy Shop.
It was already past dinner time, and upon entering, Tang San saw Mu Yunyu sitting inside fiddling with something.
"Teacher Mu," greeted Tang San with a beaming smile.
"Oh, who do we have here? Isn\'t this our busy little Xiao Tang? Long time no see!" Mu Yunyu said irritably.
Indeed, she hadn\'t seen much of Tang San lately, let alone see him attending classes. Although the mayor had spoken to them, the teachers were still very concerned about Tang San. Ever since he teamed up with Wu Bingji, Du Bai, Cheng Zicheng, and Gu Li, their abilities had noticeably accelerated, and they were now superior to the other students in the academy.
The teachers were all very curious about this. Some even began to wonder if they were the teachers, or if it was this new kid who was actually the teacher.
And going on expeditions outside the Redemption Academy had become the norm, which indeed had very good effects, especially in terms of outdoor survival and actual combat.
"Teacher Mu, I\'ve come to buy some things." Tang San walked in, unfazed by Mu Yunyu\'s attitude.
Mu Yunyu looked him up and down with a hint of skepticism in her eyes. She noticed that the fluctuations of energy and blood on Tang San\'s body were very stable, almost like those of an ordinary person. Of course, he couldn\'t be an ordinary person; if she felt this way, that meant she seemed to be somewhat unable to see through him.
"What\'s your current level of power?" Mu Yunyu blurted out.
Tang San replied, "Sixth Stage."
Mu Yunyu\'s mouth twitched. She remembered that when Tang San first arrived, he was only at the Fourth Stage. How long had it been, and he had already reached the Sixth Stage?
"That fast?"
"The mayor is a great teacher," said Tang San with a smile.
"So we\'re bad teachers then?" Mu Yunyu huffed.
After giving her a once over, Tang San said, "Teacher Mu, have you recently hit a bottleneck in your cultivation that you found difficult to break through?"
Mu Yunyu was taken aback, "How did you know?"
Tang San replied, "I can sense the robust energy and blood in you, but there seems to be a blockage at the level of your heart meridian. It looks like you hit a bottleneck and got injured in the process, right?"
The look of surprise in Mu Yunyu\'s eyes intensified. She had been at the Seventh Stage for quite some time and had already reached the peak. Not long ago, she had attempted to break through to the Eighth Stage but failed. Indeed, she had suffered a backlash, and it was only with the help of several teachers that she managed to stabilize the injury. Since then, she dared not rush things anymore.
But how had Tang San discerned this?
Tang San said, "May I take your pulse?"
"Go ahead." With a carefree attitude characteristic of her personality, Mu Yunyu didn\'t mind and extended her right hand to Tang San.
Tang San grasped her wrist, silently feeling the energy and blood currents in her body. At the same time, he activated his Mysterious Heaven Method, slowly entering her body and circling her meridians for a more detailed examination.
A moment later, Tang San let go. Mu Yunyu felt a warm and comfortable energy emanate from Tang San\'s hand, circulating through her body. The constriction she had previously felt in her chest had also noticeably subsided.
"Thank you," Mu Yunyu\'s demeanor toward him softened somewhat.
Tang San said, "Teacher Mu, when you cultivate and your bloodline power circulates, do you always have difficulty when it reaches the area of your lower abdomen?"
Mu Yunyu nodded, "I was injured when I was young."
