"Master...!"
Arriving before Su Shi'er, Xiao Wujian respectfully bowed. Instinctively, he was about to address him as "Sir."
Before the words could leave his mouth, he met Su Shi'er's smiling face and immediately understood, hurriedly changing his form of address to "Master."
"Let me ask you once more. Have you truly made up your mind to rely on your own strength to save your Mother?
"The road of cultivation is long and arduous. Without sufficient resolve, even if you set foot upon this path, it will all amount to nothing in the end."
Su Shi'er smiled as he asked again.
Xiao Wujian nodded without hesitation. "Yes, I have!"
"Good. I have already imparted the cultivation technique to you. For the next few days, follow what the technique teaches and draw Qi into your body."
Su Shi'er nodded and flicked his hand. A cushion for cultivation and meditation flew from his sleeve, landing squarely in the center of the courtyard.
"My Mother..."
Xiao Wujian instinctively turned to look toward the room.
"Do not worry. Someone will naturally take care of your Mother."
As Su Shi'er spoke, he turned to Hu Meier beside him. "Instructor Hu should not mind waiting ten days or half a month, right?
"Or are you saying that I must immediately prove it to you now?"
He asked several questions in succession.
Su Shi'er intended to verify Xiao Wujian's Sword Dao talent in this life.
But at this moment, Xiao Wujian was still merely an ordinary mortal.
If he truly wanted to test him, he had to at least wait until Xiao Wujian drew Qi into his body and reached the Qi Refining stage.
"Instructor Su need not be so anxious. I can afford to wait ten days or half a month, and besides... that is perfectly reasonable.
