"Ah, the union of yin and yang—so soon?"
Xu Jixian's mouth fell open, and his chopsticks clattered to the floor, startling Xiao He out of his face-touching stupor.
Using too much force, he slapped himself until he was sore.
"Yeah, how did Brother Xiang get there so fast?"
Xiao He was utterly incredulous. The route Wang Wenxu had personally arranged was enough to let Xiang Yuan break through the Foundation Establishment Realm, but what the hell was this union of yin and yang?
The Du Meridian had twenty-eight acupoints. Counting from Xiang Yuan's departure to his return, it had not even been a full month. Even striking one acupoint a day would not have been enough, let alone when he had been traveling the entire time and had hardly had any time to cultivate.
Then subtract the time spent eating, drinking, shitting, sleeping, and challenging people everywhere...

Xiao He was half delighted and half distressed. The destined man being a Martial Path prodigy delighted him, since he could surely cling to his thigh in the future. Yet he was distressed that his brother's cultivation had soared while he had kept up the act the whole time.
Then he remembered that this destined brother of his was petty. Once he rose to power, he would surely pin him to the ground and beat him viciously.
No, Xiang Yuan's heart was not that broad. One beating would never settle it. It would probably be a light beating every three days and a savage pounding every five. Even stepping through the door with his left foot first would offend Xiang Yuan. Sorrow welled up from his heart, and for a moment, he was grief-stricken beyond measure.
