Extremely Powerful Ability

At this moment, Xu Bai's expression was like this.

(_) I always say that like father, like daughter, and that my daughter is hardworking and studious.

The result was diligently causing trouble!

Who could stand this? Looking at this group of the Transcendent Realm experts complaining, their faces were practically screaming misery, filled with helplessness.

He probably wouldn't have shown it unless he had been severely wronged.

"I understand."

At that moment, Xu Bai realized how unpleasant his expression looked.

With the air of a stern father, he lifted his foot and stepped into the Royal Palace Treasury.

Children won't grow up properly without being disciplined, especially unruly children.

Xu Bai quickly disappeared from everyone's sight.

Discussions arose.

"Now that His Prince has gone in, he should be able to keep an eye on that little brat, right?"

"It's hard to say... Even King Ling can't do anything about it. It goes in one ear and out the other, and he forgets about it as soon as he turns his head."

"Shh, keep your voice down, listen, there's a noise!"

Everyone turned to the side, pricking up their ears.

Soon, a loud scream erupted from the Royal Palace Treasury!

"Dad? Why are you back?"

"I recognize it. I just couldn't speak back then. I'm not stupid."

"Hey! Dad, what are you doing? Why are you lifting me up like that?!"

"You used to be a troublemaker too, so why are you dragging me into this!"

"Father, listen to me! If we join forces, we will be at the pinnacle of the world!"

"Smack!"

With a resounding slap, the world fell completely silent.

After a while, Xu Bai's voice came from the Royal Palace Treasury.

"The pinnacle of the world? Where did you learn that?"

There was an indescribable sense of shame in his voice.

Xu Ling's voice came through, sounding perfectly justified. "Everyone around says that my father is one of the nine saints in the world, isn't that the pinnacle of the world?"

"Then I'll beat you, the pinnacle of this world, to death!" Xu Bai roared angrily.

The sounds of slapping were incessant.

At first, Xu Ling stubbornly retorted, but later all she could do was beg for mercy, and finally she fell silent.

A moment later, in everyone's sight, Xu Bai, holding Xu Ling by the collar, walked out from inside.

Xu Ling, with her small arms and legs, looked dejected, clearly having been taken advantage of.

On the other side, Xu Bai said coldly, "Hehehe, isn't that good? You still need a beating."

Before Chu Ling became pregnant, Xu Bai had already thought about how to raise the child.

I don't expect my child to be exceptionally well-educated, but at least... not so immature! Saying things like "dominating the world's pinnacle"—if that gets out, wouldn't that just add another shameful label to the title of "Blood Slaughtering Saber Wielder"?

The combination of these two terms is utterly baffling.

No!

Absolutely not!

This idiot's idea needs to be corrected! After dealing with this group of Transcendent Realm experts, Xu Bai took Xu Ling and headed straight for Chu Ling's location.

Xu Ling knew what she was about to face, and her face turned pale.

Just as he was about to beg for mercy, Xu Bai gave him a look that frightened him into not daring to open his mouth.

A short while later, Xu Bai arrived at where Chu Ling was.

"My husband!"

Chu Ling and Ye Zi Qing Xue both there, and when they saw Xu Bai, their faces lit up with surprise and delight.

But when his gaze fell on Xu Ling, he instantly understood.

So he got arrested!

Ye Zi was the first to run forward, ready to take Xu Ling from him, saying as she reached out her hand, "Husband, she's just a little girl, don't take it seriously!"

Qing Xue ran over from the side as well.

The two women's eyes were filled with worry.

Xu Ling reacted quickly, immediately putting on a pitiful look. "Second Aunt, Third Aunt, Father hit me! My bottom is all bruised!"

Whether it was acting or real, as she spoke, tears welled up in her eyes, and she burst into tears with a loud groan.

Ye Zi and Qing Xue were even more worried after hearing him cry.

The only ones unaffected were Xu Bai and Chu Ling.

Chu Ling's expression was similar to Xu Bai's. "Keep pretending!"

If it were the first time they met, Chu Ling wouldn't have said anything.

But after encountering it several times, Chu Ling became indifferent to it.

This kid is just pretending.

She's been fooled so many times that she's gotten used to it.

Xu Ling, who was still crying loudly, stopped crying instantly after hearing Chu Ling's words.

"Mother, you are so heartless."

"Heh." Chu Ling responded with a cold laugh.

Xu Bai didn't let Ye Zi and Qing Xue continue talking. He grabbed Xu Ling and walked in from outside.

The little girl had completely resigned herself to her fate; no one could save her, and she was ready to give up.

After Xu Bai entered the house, he left the little girl aside.

The little girl was also very sensible, with an innocent and harmless expression, not at all like someone who would cause chaos in the entire palace.

"Have you learned the skills for this trade?" Xu Bai ignored the little girl and turned to ask Chu Ling.

Chu Ling shook her head. "Not yet, I'm waiting for my husband to come back."

Xu Ling's abilities were too strange, so she didn't dare let Xu Ling learn them casually. Moreover, she told all the experts in the palace that the little girl must not be allowed to learn anything.

Everything still needs to wait until Xu Bai arrives before we can discuss anything else.

Now that Xu Bai has arrived, Chu Ling feels more at ease.

Xu Bai stroked his chin, looked at Xu Ling beside him, and said, "Do you want to learn?"

Xu Ling reacted incredibly quickly. "Learn, learn, learn!"

During this time, even someone as intelligent as her failed to learn any skills related to the trade.

Everyone kept it a secret. Even in the Royal Palace Treasury, if anyone tried to take a book, Liu Qingfeng would kick them out.

She had wanted to learn for a long time, but had never been able to. Now that Xu Bai had agreed to teach her, she was naturally happy.

Xu Bai then asked, "So what kind of skill do you want to learn?"

The little girl's eyes lit up even more when she heard that question.

"I want to learn them all!"

The little girl spread her arms wide, looking like she wanted it all. "I want abilities even greater than Daddy's!"

Seeing this, Xu Bai couldn't help but laugh and scold, "You're dreaming!"

Qing Xue couldn't help but cover her mouth and said, "Your father is one of the strongest people in the world right now, and you still want to surpass him?"

Ye Zi chuckled beside her, "My husband has many abilities. You little rascal, don't try to do too much at once."

Chu Ling said worriedly, "Husband, don't listen to her."

Xu Ling looked left and right, and seeing that everyone was against her, she pouted angrily. "Don't you believe me? I'm definitely better than my dad. I'll grab him and spank him!"

Xu Bai: "?"

Thank you, I feel truly honored by your kindness.

Of course, Xu Bai didn't take the child's nonsense too seriously.

He reached out and patted Xu Ling's little head.

Xu Ling clenched her small fists tightly, but her face showed a look of enjoyment.

She loves it when her dad touches her head; it feels so good.

However, this comfortable feeling did not last long, because the next moment, Xu Bai spoke.

"If you want to learn, then stop causing trouble in the future, understand?"

Xu Bai was speechless at how the entire palace had been turned into this state while he was away.

Education should begin from childhood.

Everything else can be ignored, but moral character is very important.

Although his reputation in the martial arts world is... well, he must ensure that Xu Ling learns the most basic values.

Xu Ling asked with a long face, "Dad, can I learn this for free?"

"Thump!"

Xu Bai tapped Xu Ling's head and said, "What do you think? Your old man has roamed the martial arts world for a long time and has never heard of the name 'Bai Xue'."

Goodness, at such a young age, he's already learned how to get something for nothing; it's outrageous.

Xu Ling covered her head, looking aggrieved. "Fine, I agree."

This answer represents the biggest brainstorming session Xu Ling had in a short period of time.

After weighing the pros and cons, she felt that studying was more important. Compared to studying, everything else was less important. As for causing trouble, that could be postponed.

Xu Bai, with his keen intellect, was naturally aware of what this little girl was thinking, but he didn't point it out.

Subsequent education can be provided gradually. First, we need to instill this idea in her mind, and then we can slowly correct it later.

Thinking of this, he didn't say much. He took out the book that Liu Yue had given him to the scholar, and then took out the three books that he had received from the Miao Sect, and placed them in front of Xu Ling.

"I want everything you've said, but before that, I need to see your abilities. You can choose one to learn first. As long as you master it, I'll give you everything, including the entire Royal Palace Treasury."

Xu Bai waved his hand, striking a very generous pose.

Xu Ling bit her finger and struggled to choose from the four books.

She was just a child, and it was only on a whim. Now that she's actually choosing, she's having a hard time.

What should I choose...?

Xu Ling began to think again, picking and choosing among the four books.

Xu Bai was also very curious about what his daughter would choose, given her personality.

A moment later, Xu Ling's voice came through.

"This one will do!"

Xu Bai looked in the direction of the crisp voice and saw Xu Ling holding a book high in the air.

Xu Bai was very familiar with this book; it was Liu Yue's.

He asked curiously, "Why did you choose this one?"

He had considered other things, but this was the only one he hadn't thought of.

In his view, how could a child possibly choose a scholar's book?

These days, are there still kids who like this? Impossible.

Xu Ling quickly gave him a reply.

Xu Ling turned to one of the pages, pointed to the text, and exclaimed, "What a beautiful drawing!"

Xu Bai looked over and saw what Xu Ling was holding.

That book, which should have been very profound, was covered with all sorts of little figures.

There could absolutely be no villains in this book.

There's only one answer: Liu Yue drew it himself.

"I never expected someone as aloof as you to resort to such underhanded tactics," Xu Bai thought to himself.

It's clear now: Liu Yue shamelessly resorted to painting in order to make the little girl like the profession of a scholar!

Xu Bai recalled Liu Yue's incorruptible appearance and couldn't help but complain, "I never thought that a guy with thick eyebrows and big eyes like you would do such a thing."

Chu Ling and the other girls standing nearby were puzzled.

Xu Bai then recounted what had happened.

No sooner had she finished speaking than Xu Ling slammed the book on the ground and turned her head away.

"I'm not learning anymore!"

Xu Bai's lips twitched. "Why?"

Xu Ling snorted, "He chased after my dad, I won't learn that. When I grow up, I'm going to beat him up!"

In the palace, the most frequently heard topic was, of course, Xu Bai's affairs.

The little girl had heard a lot about her father's glorious past, so she naturally knew about it and didn't want to learn it.

Although Liu Yue is now on her side, she still thinks that when she grows up, she will beat him up and avenge her father.

Xu Bai hadn't expected the little girl to have this idea, and said helplessly, "You should study first and not worry about these adult matters. Besides, I need to investigate something."

The little girl Xu Ling, still looked unwilling.

Xu Bai spent a lot of time explaining, and after talking for half an incense stick's time, the stubborn Xu Ling reluctantly picked up the book.

It was as if he was holding not the most precious treasure that all scholars dream of, but something worthless.

Xu Bai pointed out from the side, "You can learn right here."

According to his own clues, Xu Ling's ability will be learned very quickly if the loopholes are filled.

He only needs to verify this one thing: if Xu Ling can learn it, it will prove that Xu Ling has solved the biggest flaw and has no worries.

Although Xu Ling didn't know why she had to study here, she didn't say much. With a look of disgust, she opened the book and began to read it carefully.

Silence fell over the surroundings; no one spoke.

Time passed slowly, and in the blink of an eye, half an hour had gone by.

At this moment, Xu Ling had turned to the last page and placed the book on the table.

Seeing this, Xu Bai comforted him, "It's alright, just take a look more often. If once isn't enough, try twice."

He thought Xu Ling hadn't learned it and originally wanted to say a few words of comfort.

But before he could finish his sentence, Xu Ling's next words caught him completely off guard.

"How strange..." Xu Ling scratched her head. "It feels like I can absorb power again."

Xu Bai didn't understand. "Please explain in more detail."

Although she can speak, her vocabulary is limited, and she can only express herself with difficulty.

After gesturing wildly for a while, Xu Ling finally managed to express herself clearly.

"That's about it," Xu Ling said, biting her finger.

Xu Bai was stunned. After realizing what he meant, he asked, "You mean... you've learned it?"

He understood; it meant he had learned it! Xu Ling nodded her little head and said frankly, "I haven't learned it all. I only reached the Transcendent Realm and then stopped. I didn't continue to increase it, but I have a different feeling."

"I absorbed a lot of power before... and then I felt very uncomfortable. Now it's smooth, and I can continue to absorb power."

Upon hearing this, Xu Bai stroked his chin.

According to this explanation, Xu Ling must have found an outlet for her emotions, thus eliminating the danger.

Of course, this idea still needs further practice to be fully verified.

The method of practice is also very simple.

Xu Bai thought for a moment and said, "Come here for a second."

Although Xu Ling didn't know what it was, she trusted her father completely and skipped over. "Dad!"

Xu Bai said with a serious expression, "There is some danger ahead, but we have to try it so that you won't face even greater dangers in the future. If you feel unwell later, be sure to tell me immediately."

Xu Ling rolled her eyes and nodded in agreement.

Xu Bai opened his hand, and a wisp of True Yuan Power flowed through his palm.

His tone was deep. "Now, absorb the power and let me see what limit you can reach."
