After seeing the guests off and returning home, the atmosphere at home became a little strange.

Xia Weijun's face turned so red it could fry an egg, and she didn't know what to do with her hands. She also dared not meet the gazes of her younger brother and sister-in-law's family of three.

"Ahem..." she coughed lightly.

"Don't listen to my master's nonsense. He's an old fogey who loves playing the game of arranged marriages. What era are we living in..."

Lu Li respected this older sister and comforted her, saying, "It's alright, I'll politely decline True Master Li tomorrow."

Upon hearing this, Xia Weiyin pouted, a hint of resentment appearing on her face... then she was startled to realize:

I have absolutely no aversion to arranged marriages!

There was shyness and embarrassment in her emotions, but not anger. She stayed obediently, as if hoping for something...

But then I thought about it again. This man was favored by my own master at first glance, and we were kindred spirits, so it was normal for me to react this way.

You're so shameless!

Xia Weiyin blushed and cursed herself inwardly, not daring to think any further, and quickly said:

"Come on~ I'll give you some advice on Martial Arts training."

Having said that, he walked into the courtyard first.

Wan Qing and Xiao Cha stared at her back, their thoughts immediately clear to them.

As a fellow woman, how could I not know what that shy, anxious expression meant?

Lu Li, completely oblivious, happily followed them out.

In the courtyard, Xia Weiyin lunged forward, extending his hand as if to offer his assistance.

Xiao Cha went up first, clasped her hands, and began to resist her, using this as a way to test her cultivation level.

Their eyes met, and Xiao Cha's gaze held a hint of teasing and mockery.

Xia Weiyin, unable to save face, threw Xiao Cha away with a fierce tug.

She was close to advancing to the Innate Realm, so her cultivation level was naturally much higher. At this moment, she commented:

"60,000 jin of strength, not bad! But you need to be able to use your strength effectively. Practice your 'explosive power' more, and become Fierce Tiger instead of a clumsy ox."

This statement was also very enlightening for Lu Li.

The Martial Arts Spirit Refinement and strength of tens of thousands of pounds is all "dead strength." In actual combat, the most important thing is explosive power; you have to deal damage in an instant.

Everyone's reactions and movements are quick; if the charging time for moves and spells exceeds one second, it's almost impossible to hit them.

"Ling Gui's spells were all cast instantly, and the previous enemies were the same; none of them held back their power to unleash a powerful attack."

While pondering this, Lu Li stepped forward and shook hands with Sister Xia.

As their skin touched, Xia Weiyin blushed and tightened her grip, pulling Lu Li side.

"Young man, you only have a strength of 40,000 jin, your foundation is indeed shallow, I suppose it's because you're progressing too fast."

Seeing this, Xia Weiyin disregarded her embarrassment and quickly reached out to pinch and rub Lu Li's body, analyzing the situation:

"The difference in strength between you two is only one-third, precisely because Xiao Cha has had ten more years of honing her skills. From now on, you must Tendons Training Bone Forging for two hours every day to make up for your lack of strength!"

Lu Li nodded solemnly and said, "Thank you, Sister Xia. I will practice my boxing every day."

Xia Weijun was fully engaged and checked on Wan Qing as well, saying:

"With the help of a divine intervention, the marrow cleansing is effortless for the young lady. There's no need to wait; she can break through directly. Marrow cleansing is also very beneficial."

"Thank you for your guidance, Sister Xia."

Wan Qing thanked him, her eyes darting around as if she were plotting something.

After all, she was a graduate of a prestigious sect with formal training, so Xia Weijun took it very seriously and gave Lu Li's family a thorough consultation.

The awkwardness gradually dissipated, and everyone seemed to have forgotten about the arranged marriage.

Suddenly, Wan Qing asked, "Sister Xia, there's something I don't understand—why are you a nun?"

Lu Li and Xiao Cha were also very interested in this question, and they immediately perked up their ears.

"This matter..." Xia Weijun smiled and said:

"The Daoist sect doesn't prohibit marriage, and having a bunch of flirtatious women around me is really annoying. Besides, my master always wants to marry me off, and even arranged a marriage between me and [Azure Dragon]..."

At this point, Xia Weijun glanced at Lu Li and quickly added:

"That person was too arrogant, I didn't like him, we barely exchanged a few words."

After explaining for a few minutes, she felt it was too deliberate, so she quickly said:

"Later, by chance, I obtained the true teachings of the Hengshan Sect of the Northern Mountains, the Buddha's Palm, so I decided to become a monk to play around with it, both to escape to a quiet place and to better study this Divine Art."

"The Buddha's Palm! The Hengshan Sect's ultimate technique!"

The Hengshan Sect is the same as the Hengshan Sect, but people are more accustomed to calling it by the name of the Northern Peak.

Seeing Xiao Cha's eyes light up with curiosity, Xia Weijun smiled and said:

"This skill combines fighting, training, and cultivation in one, and it can train all 720 acupoints in the body. It's incredibly powerful!"

Xiao Cha's mouth formed an "o" shape, as if she wanted to say something but hesitated.

Xia Weijun said indulgently, "You need to master the [Thoughtless Meditation Oblivion] technique to use it, and you also need a certain level of Buddhist knowledge. But I can teach you first."

"Ah~ I'm so sorry." Xiao Cha scratched her head and said, "Besides, is it okay to practice someone else's special skills so casually?"

Xia Weijun laughed and said, "It's alright. Buddhism and Daoism are enemies anyway. The Hengshan Sect was beaten so badly by the Huashan Sect that they dared not even leave their homes. Just keep practicing."

Lu Li, listening from the side, remarked, "The Five Mountains Alliance isn't all harmonious either..."

"Of course," Xia Weijun said.

"The Five Mountains Sects all want to devour each other's spiritual realms. My master told Qiu Yan that the Golden Man was going to withdraw from the spiritual realms, which was a move to use one tiger to devour another."

Lu Li immediately understood: this was an attempt to drag the Five Mountains Sect and other major powers into the fray, to make them compete with the People of Izumo for the [Changbai Spiritual Realm].

"These powerful individuals... all seem to enjoy using their brains."

After the conversation, Lu Li gained a lot of knowledge.

Before we knew it, the sun was about to set.

"It's getting late, I should head back now."

Xia Weijun glanced at the sky and said:

"Lu Li, come to the National Martial Arts Association first thing tomorrow morning to discuss your future plans. It's not a good place to stay in Jinmen anymore. Although Jinting is in dire straits, it's still a force to be reckoned with. It's best to avoid its sharp edge for now."

Lu Li nodded, while Xia Weijun waved and prepared to leave.

At this moment, Wan Qing suddenly spoke:

"If the marriage alliance fails, the young master will not obtain the <Qi Gazing Technique>, nor the method to break through to the Manifestation."

Not only is the <Qi Gazing Technique> important, but Lu Li also needs to break through to the [Manifestation] level, which is the most crucial thing.

This level of teaching is not confined to written words; the most convenient way to obtain it is certainly by seeking it from the Dragon Gate Sect.

Upon hearing these words, Xia Weijun paused, turned around, and looked at Lu Li hesitantly...

Lu Li's face was full of handsomeness:

"Don't worry, Sister Xia, I'll figure out a way to overcome any difficulties myself. I definitely won't make things difficult for you. I'll politely decline True Master Li tomorrow!"

"..."

The three women were speechless for a moment. Xia Weijun nodded with a dry laugh, then ran away in a flash.

Wan Qing and Xiao Cha looked at their husbands with rather strange expressions.

"What's wrong? Why are you looking at me like that?"

Lu Li, oblivious to everything, went up and put his arms around the two women's waists, saying:

"I 'Spirit Refinement from my body; according to our agreement, we should be sleeping together. Let's go!"

Xiao Cha brushed his hand away and said, "What nonsense! Who agreed to that?"

"Hey~ You said that yourself when I went back..."

"Was a written agreement drawn up?"

Xiao Cha put her hands on her hips, rolled her eyes, and looked utterly lazy.

"Don't try to back out!" Lu Li wasn't about to give up and immediately pounced on him to entangle him.

Wan Qing stretched with a smile and said, "I went to Jinxi Marrow Cleansing. Tong Shao staying at Uncle Chen's house overnight. You two can keep arguing."

Leaving the two men and women behind, she returned to her room alone to begin her breakthrough.

With Internal Vision and spiritual insight, mere marrow cleansing is like using an anti-aircraft gun to kill a mosquito.

As the Wan Qing rises, a continuous stream of Internal Breath enters the meridians, easily seeping into the bone marrow along the body's natural energy channels.

They quickly achieved a breakthrough.

Wan Qing covered her mouth and smiled.

Living with her friends and husband not only brought her joy, but also increased her strength day by day.

"Soon I'll be able to... make my dream come true~"

She gazed at the future, a fiery red light flashing in her eyes.

The girl's dream is related to Izumo will not let go of a newly rising rival.
