"Aunt Luo, are you done discussing martial arts with cousin?" Yang Qingyun and Yang Zhenyun were walking towards the training grounds when they suddenly saw Luo Xiangning and greeted her respectfully.
"Hello Aunt Luo," Yang Zhenyun also called out respectfully.
"Mm, the discussion is over," Luo Xiangning nodded, feeling a bit strange.
Because Yang Qingyun and Yang Zhenyun were cousins to Yang Feilong, if she were to marry in, wouldn't she have to call them cousin based on Yang Feilong? She couldn't bear to think about it.
Luo Xiangning replied to Yang Qingyun and then left.
Yang Qingyun rubbed his head and asked Yang Zhenyun beside him, "Do you find Aunt Luo seems a bit different from before?"
"She does look different, but I can't quite figure out how. Is it a cultivation breakthrough?" Yang Zhenyun was also puzzled. Of course, he was less familiar with Luo Xiangning than Yang Qingyun. Yang Qingyun was more familiar because he often visited Yang Ping Tian. Many of his martial arts skills were taught by Yang Ping Tian, and he considered Yang Ping Tian his idol.
Luo Xiangning continued to walk forward.
Of course, everyone she met greeted her.
"Sister Xiangning, leaving already? Not staying a couple more days?"
"Sister Xiangning, did you eat something? Why do you look different from before, even more beautiful?"
"Mm, my cultivation has broken through, so there have been some changes," Luo Xiangning explained with a smile. Of course, this was the explanation Yang Feilong had given her, and her cultivation had indeed broken through. If she hadn't been suppressing it, she would have already broken through to the Xiantian realm.
"Ah? You broke through again? You're getting so many benefits from discussing with Feilong? I remember you only broke through to the mid-stage Zunwu realm not long ago, right?"
"Mm, discussing martial arts with Feilong has been very rewarding," Luo Xiangning said with a smile.
She couldn't just leave directly, because it had always been like this. In the Yang family, she was, well, like half a member of the Yang family. Many people saw her as Yang Ping Tian's future wife. But unfortunately, one party's affection was not reciprocated. Many people expressed regret about this.
Some even thought Yang Ping Tian didn't like women.
Now everyone knew that Yang Ping Tian did like women, he just liked Yang Feilong's mother.
His affection for Yang Feilong was evident to everyone.
Therefore, people no longer brought up the matter between Yang Ping Tian and Luo Xiangning, for fear of upsetting Yang Feilong. After all, Yang Feilong's mother seemed to be still around, although she hadn't come. Even if Yang Feilong's mother were gone, others would still not dare to find Yang Feilong a stepmother. They could see that Yang Feilong held grudges, otherwise, how could he have cornered his uncle and cousin so badly, not only verbally but also physically?
Yang Pingyu was also one of the people who met Luo Xiangning. When he heard Luo Xiangning say she had broken through, Yang Pingyu's expression was a mix of complexity, shock, and even more so, anticipation.
Because even Luo Xiangning, who had not broken through to the mid-stage Zunwu realm for too long, could break through after spending two days with him. What about him? What about others?
He increasingly wanted to keep Yang Feilong in the Yang family. The benefits for the Yang family's development were too great!
Not long after, he and a few others received a text message notification from Yang Pingyu to go to the conference room. Yang Feilong was going to exchange insights with cultivators above the Ba Wu realm who were stuck at bottlenecks.
It was called an exchange, but they all understood that this might be an attempt to help them break through!
Therefore, he couldn't bother to say anything more to Luo Xiangning.
"Sister Xiangning, let's chat again when we have time. I'm going to see Feilong." Then, he rushed to the conference room as if he had wings.
Seeing Yang Pingyu so flustered upon hearing news of her man, she was very satisfied. Her man, although young, was excellent in all aspects. Perhaps soon, even Xiantian realm existences would have to bow to him.
With a light heart, she left the Yang family. She wanted to find her Yang family's ancestor and others to discuss it and bring them this good news. In the future, when he came to visit her at home, her family should be very happy and willing, right?
...
In the Yang family's conference room.
When Yang Feilong and Yang Ping Tian arrived side-by-side, one Zunwu realm and six Ba Wu realm cultivators of the Yang family were all seated there.
Normally, so many strong cultivators wouldn't gather here.
But today was different. This was also Yang Feilong's first formal meeting with them. Before? It wasn't formal.
Seeing Yang Feilong's calm demeanor in the face of so many experts, everyone present was filled with emotion. He truly lived up to being Yang Ping Tian's son; he had now surpassed his father.
"Feilong, I wanted to apologize to you yesterday, but I couldn't see you. Today, while everyone is here, I want to sincerely apologize to you. I deeply regret the trouble I caused you before!" Yang Pingyu bowed.
His words were earnest and solemn, devoid of resentment or awkwardness.
After all, he needed help later. Although Yang Ping Tian said an apology wasn't necessary, could he really do that?
Although Yang Feilong was no longer pursuing this matter due to his father, Yang Pingyu's sincere apology was, to be honest, quite appreciated by Yang Feilong.
Yang Feilong even helped Yang Pingyu up and said sincerely, "Uncle, I accept your apology. Nephew's actions before were a bit excessive. I hope you don't mind."
"I don't mind, I don't mind," Yang Pingyu said, relieved. "Uncle was wrong, and I admit my mistake! Being scolded or hit by you is only right!"
Yang Feilong's mouth twitched. His words were too humble, weren't they?
Of course, given his sincerity, if it was found that he had any hidden injuries or issues, he would help him heal them. If not, then he was sorry, and breaking through would still depend on himself.
However, in Yang Feilong's opinion, older people, or those who liked to fight fiercely when they were young, almost always had some minor problems. Of course, even without problems, practicing martial arts, like sword or saber techniques, might leave some subtle hidden injuries in the body.
Under normal circumstances, or when breaking through to minor realms, these didn't affect progress. But at crucial moments, like breaking through major realms, these minor issues could cause interference. The higher the realm, the more pronounced this situation became, mainly because the minor issues or problems accumulated.
"Actually, my father didn't explain clearly to you all. I can't actually help people break through," Yang Feilong said. At this statement, everyone's expression stiffened.
"Cannot help everyone break through?"
"Feilong, well, I just met Sister Luo Xiangning, and she said she broke through with your help. She broke through less than a year after reaching her previous realm. We who have been stuck for many years should have an easier time, right?" Yang Pingyu said with a bitter smile.
Hearing Yang Pingyu's words, everyone couldn't help but look at Yang Feilong.
Luo Xiangning was an outsider. You helped an outsider, but not your own people? Was it because they were all men and she was a woman, so you were unwilling to help them?
But if that were the case, hadn't the Xiao family ancestor also broken through with your help?
This... you can't refuse to help us just because we didn't cultivate you before, right? Speaking of which, isn't this blaming your father? We didn't even know about your existence before. If you had been in the Yang family, how could we not have cultivated you?
Seeing everyone's expressions, Yang Feilong naturally understood their thoughts and glanced at his father.
Yang Ping Tian naturally understood that this needed an explanation from him. Why not explain himself, but let his son, the father, explain? Yang Ping Tian hadn't thought that far ahead. Perhaps it was because his son didn't know how he had spoken to the family members before.
What is that called? The one who tied the bell must untie it!
