"I'll bear with it … I'll bear with it …" The corners of Xu Ai's eyes twitched as she felt the urge to kill.
However, this was the Federation, and Xu Ai had a special mission. She couldn't expose her identity, so she resisted the urge to slap Gulli.
"Are you returning to school?" Zhou Wen asked Gulli and company.
"Yes, let's go together." The few of them returned to school together.
Ouyang Lan was really well-informed. Zhou Wen had just returned to school when he received a call from her. She asked him to have dinner that night.
Zhou Wen agreed. It had been a long time since he had seen Zhou Lingfeng and Ouyang Lan. He could use the opportunity to meet them during dinner.
He helped Ya 'er change into new clothes and took her to dinner.
However, when he arrived, Zhou Wen realized that Zhou Lingfeng wasn't around. Apart from Ouyang Lan, there was a girl who looked to be in her twenties.
The girl was naturally Uesugi Nao, who had impersonated Xu Ai. She was slightly taken aback when she saw Zhou Wen and Ya 'er. Only then did she recognize that Zhou Wen was the fellow who had said that Great Skyfiend was too weak during the day.
"Come, Little Wen, let me introduce you. This is my childhood friend's daughter, Xu Ai …" Ouyang Lan pulled Zhou Wen to sit beside her.
Ouyang Lan didn't deliberately let Zhou Wen sit beside Xu Ai because she knew him too well. She knew that Zhou Wen didn't know how to chat with girls at all. He wouldn't say anything even if she let him sit beside Xu Ai.
"Little Ai, this is Ya 'er, an orphan adopted by Zhou Wen. Don't be fooled by his cold demeanor, but he's actually very caring." As Ouyang Lan explained Ya' er's origins, she beautified Zhou Wen.
"In such an environment, it's rare to see such a caring person," Xu Ai said with a smile.
"That's right. Not only is my Little Wen compassionate, but he's also talented. He learns everything at once …" Even Zhou Wen blushed when he heard Ouyang Lan's praises.
"Zhou Wen, I heard that your cultivation talent is extremely high. Even your peers from the six families are far inferior to you. I wonder if you can teach me?" Xu Ai said to Zhou Wen with a smile.
"I didn't …" Before Zhou Wen could finish his sentence, Ouyang Lan interrupted him.
When Ouyang Lan heard Zhou Wen's opening sentence, she knew that he wanted to say that he didn't have time. She knew Zhou Wen too well, so she didn't hesitate to say, "Zhou Wen will be fine. It's still early anyway. You young people can head out for a walk after we finish eating. If you have any questions about cultivation, feel free to ask Little Wen. He's an absolute genius in this aspect."
Ouyang Lan thought that it wasn't easy to find a girl who wasn't scared away by Zhou Wen and was willing to understand him. Ouyang Lan felt that she couldn't let go of this opportunity.
She was truly worried that with his personality, he wouldn't be able to find a wife in the future.
"Ya 'er, can the beautiful Sister Lan take you out to play?" After the meal, Ouyang Lan wanted to take Ya' er away to prevent her from interfering with their conversation.
Ya 'er turned her head and leaned her face on Zhou Wen's shoulder, completely ignoring Ouyang Lan.
"It's fine, Sis Lan. I'll take her. She's afraid of strangers," Zhou Wen said.
"You'll spoil her." Ouyang Lan was helpless. Although she was sharp with her words, she couldn't bear to forcefully take Ya 'er away. All she could do was let Ya' er go with Zhou Wen.
"Sis Lan, I like children too. I'll take care of her. Don't worry," Xu Ai said.
"Then I'm relieved." Ouyang Lan couldn't help but praise Xu Ai for being sensible.
Zhou Wen and Xu Ai left the restaurant together. Seeing that Zhou Wen wasn't saying a word, Xu Ai took the initiative to say, "Zhou Wen, I have some cultivation questions I want to ask you. Is it convenient for us to go to the training grounds?"
"Sure." Zhou Wen saw that it was still early. Furthermore, Ouyang Lan had already agreed. It wasn't appropriate for him to leave directly, so he nodded.
When Xu Ai saw Zhou Wen agree, a crafty glint flashed in her eyes. She thought to herself, Today, I'll let you know that there's always someone better. Let's see if you still dare to be arrogant in the future. How dare you say that Great Skyfiend is too weak? I'll let you know who's too weak later.
The reason she took the initiative to ask Zhou Wen out was naturally not to build a good relationship with him.
Uesugi Nao's goal wasn't Zhou Wen, but the An family's arsenal and the new Essence Energy weapons that the An family was researching. These had nothing to do with Zhou Wen, so there was no need for her to deliberately approach him.
If it wasn't for Zhou Wen's evaluation of Great Skyfiend and Gulli's words in front of the cube that had angered her, Uesugi Nao might've only politely finished the meal with Zhou Wen and never taken the initiative to ask him out.
Zhou Wen's thoughts were even simpler. He wasn't interested in Xu Ai. Furthermore, the problem of the alchemist hadn't been resolved, so he wasn't in the mood to think about anything else.
If it wasn't for Sis Lan, Zhou Wen would have returned to grinding dungeons.
The two of them had their own thoughts and soon arrived at a nearby training ground.
Xu Ai didn't wish for others to see them, so she paid for a separate training room. Soon, the staff brought them in.
"Is there anything you need me to teach you?" Zhou Wen asked Xu Ai.
These words sounded awkward in Xu Ai's ears. She thought to herself, You really think highly of yourself. If you want to teach me, do it in your next life. You'll know in a while who's teaching who.
Xu Ai didn't show her thoughts on her face. She looked at Zhou Wen and said with a smile, "Do you know sword techniques? I've been practicing a sword technique recently, but no matter how much I practice, I can't grasp the gist of it. I want you to help me see what's wrong. "
"I know a little. How about this? Practice the sword technique for me first. I'll try and see if I can find the problem," Zhou Wen said seriously.
He didn't know that Xu Ai had so many thoughts on her mind. He imagined that Xu Ai really wanted his help and felt that it didn't matter if he helped her. After all, she was Sis Lan's childhood daughter.
"Alright, I'll practice it first. Help me see if there's anything wrong. If there's anything wrong, feel free to say it. There's no need to worry." With that said, Xu Ai pulled out a sword from the rack and stood in the middle of the training ground.
Of course, she wouldn't really let Zhou Wen guide her in swordplay. Not only was there no problem with the sword technique she demonstrated, but it was also very profound.
This sword technique was called the Three Immortal Swords. It was obtained by Uesugi Nao in a mysterious dimensional zone overseas. She was the only one in the world who knew the Three Immortal Swords. Furthermore, she had never displayed it in front of outsiders before.
Now that she was using the Three Immortal Swords, the practice sword in her hand drew out a profound trajectory. It looked like a casual sword move, but in fact, it was very profound.
Back when Uesugi Nao practiced the Three Immortal Swords, she had put in a lot of effort. She focused on practicing for more than a year before she truly mastered the Three Immortal Swords and comprehended the sword intent of the Three Immortal Swords.
