Discovering Clues

"Why are you here?"

"Such a huge matter as you being able to cultivate—how could we, as your brothers, not come once we learned of it?"

Tang Xiao laughed as soon as he heard his younger sister's words.

"Exactly. Little Sister, you hid it far too well. You've been able to cultivate for so long, yet you only sent word back now!"

"And you too, Bai Lu, helping Little Sister keep it from everyone!"

Tang Hao chimed in from the side, not forgetting to scold their cousin Bai Lu as well.

"Second Brother, I was the one who told Elder Sister not to say anything first..."

Tang Yuehua hurriedly explained.

"We know, we know. Our cousin already explained it in her letter!"

"Forget about hiding it. Little Sister, hurry and put your hand on this..."

Tang Hao waved his hand, no longer dwelling on what they had concealed. He took out a Soul Power Test Crystal Ball and quickly had Tang Yuehua test herself.

Although his little sister had said she had broken through to Level 10, testing it would be the most accurate.

"I've already tested it..."

Tang Yuehua pouted at the sight, but obediently placed her hand on the test crystal ball anyway!

Buzz—

As Tang Yuehua poured in her soul power, the test crystal ball quickly lit up.

"It really is Level 10!"

"Good, wonderful!"

Seeing the brightness of the test crystal ball, Tang Xiao immediately cried out in excitement.

"Yes, this is wonderful. Little Sister really can cultivate!" Tang Hao was just as thrilled.

"Little Sister, tomorrow we'll take you to obtain a soul ring. Then we'll return to the sect together. Your cultivation has already been delayed by several years, so we can't waste another moment now!"

After his excitement subsided, Tang Xiao spoke directly to Tang Yuehua.

"Don't worry, Little Sister. Elder Brother and I will definitely find you the most suitable soul ring." Tang Hao smiled and agreed.

"Mm, I'll listen to Elder Brother and Second Brother!"

Tang Yuehua did not object.

Previously, she had been unwilling to return so soon because of Gu Ziyi. Now that Gu Ziyi had agreed to join the Clear Sky Sect, there was naturally no need for her to delay her return any longer.

"Elder Brother, Second Brother, I want to introduce someone to you..."

However, Tang Yuehua certainly would not forget Gu Ziyi, so she was about to bring him up.

"Your classmate named Gu Ziyi, right?"

"Perfect. We were planning to meet him too, and properly thank him for helping you solve your cultivation problem!"

Tang Xiao laughed before his younger sister could finish. He knew she must be talking about their classmate.

"That's right, it's him!"

"Elder Brother, you don't know just how amazing Gu Ziyi is..."

"Not only did he help solve my cultivation problem, he even created an Advanced Meditation Technique before!"

Tang Yuehua hurriedly nodded and began explaining how impressive Gu Ziyi was!

Tang Yuehua wanted her elder and second brothers to understand Gu Ziyi's excellence, laying the groundwork for what she would say next about inviting Gu Ziyi into the sect.

"Oh? Is that true?"

Tang Xiao's eyes immediately lit up upon hearing Tang Yuehua's words.

It seemed this Gu Ziyi was even more outstanding than he had thought! "Then tell Elder Brother all about this classmate!"

Tang Xiao immediately became excited, intending to learn more about Gu Ziyi before inviting him.

"He created an Advanced Meditation Technique?"

Tang Hao, listening from the side, was stunned as well. This was something he had not expected.

This shocked him even more than Gu Ziyi solving his younger sister's cultivation problem, because he had always thought Gu Ziyi had merely been lucky in that regard.

But if creating an Advanced Meditation Technique was added to the equation, then this Gu Ziyi truly was not simply lucky.

"Mm..."

"Gu Ziyi is our classmate, but he's different from everyone else. He's very intelligent and places great importance on studying, especially all kinds of Martial Soul Knowledge..."

"After Gu Ziyi learned that Advanced Meditation Techniques existed, he wanted to create one himself!"

"At first, Elder Sister and I didn't think Gu Ziyi could do it, but he actually succeeded!"

"Elder Sister and I were both stunned. It was then that I voiced my problem of being unable to cultivate, holding onto a sliver of hope!"

"In the end, Elder Brother and Second Brother, you both know what happened—he really helped me solve my problem of being unable to cultivate!"

Whenever Tang Yuehua spoke of Gu Ziyi, she went on and on.

The delight and pride in her tone slipped out uncontrollably.

Tang Xiao, who had been listening to Tang Yuehua's account with curiosity, stirred slightly.

Although Tang Yuehua had not gone into much detail, he could still tell that his sister had known Gu Ziyi for a long time and had become familiar with him early on.

Otherwise, there was no way his sister could have known that Gu Ziyi was creating an Advanced Meditation Technique! Moreover, he noticed that whenever his sister spoke of Gu Ziyi, her classmate, her eyes seemed to shine. Clearly, she admired him greatly.

Or rather, his sister might very well like him.

At the thought of that possibility, Tang Xiao first felt a pang of jealousy. Inwardly, he no longer admired that fellow named Gu Ziyi quite so much.

After all, that person might very well steal his sister away.

But when he considered Gu Ziyi's intelligence and talent, Tang Xiao felt that perhaps this was not such a bad thing.

"He truly is remarkable. Then do you know what his cultivation talent is like?"

Tang Xiao smiled approvingly, then continued asking as if nothing were amiss.

"His cultivation talent..."

Hearing Elder Brother ask about Gu Ziyi's cultivation talent, Tang Yuehua paused slightly before continuing, "His current Soul Power Level is 14. Elder Brother, Second Brother, can you guess what his Innate Soul Power is?"

Tang Yuehua did not reveal it right away. Instead, she first mentioned Gu Ziyi's current Soul Power Level, so that they would be shocked once they learned his Innate Soul Power.

"Level 14?"

"Then his Innate Soul Power should only be three or four levels, right?"

Upon hearing Gu Ziyi's current Soul Power Level, Tang Hao immediately began to guess.

"Only three or four levels?"

Tang Xiao had made the same guess, and he felt somewhat disappointed.

If his Innate Soul Power was only three or four levels, that was truly a little too low. He was not worthy of his sister! "No, Gu Ziyi's Innate Soul Power is only level 1!"

Tang Yuehua shook her head, then revealed Gu Ziyi's Innate Soul Power Level.

"What?"

"His Innate Soul Power is only level 1?"

Tang Xiao and Tang Hao were indeed shocked when they heard that.

"Then how did he cultivate so quickly? With Innate Soul Power of only level 1, it would already be impressive if he could break through level 10 and become a Soul Master!"

Tang Hao was genuinely somewhat impressed by Gu Ziyi now.

Of course, he was only impressed by his cultivation speed.

As for Gu Ziyi's aptitude, heh... did that even need to be evaluated?

It was simply incomparable to his own.

"His cultivation speed truly is astonishing, but that still cannot change the fact that his Innate Soul Power is only level 1!"

Although Tang Xiao was also surprised, all he could focus on now was the fact that Gu Ziyi's Innate Soul Power was only level 1.
