Chapter 704: Grateful for a Good Sister (Part 2)

Thinking of his family, Cheng Jiuhe heaved a long sigh. Because his mother gave the Cultivation Technique to his father, and his father then passed it on to the family, his mother’s maternal family—the Nan Family—held his mother in low regard. Otherwise, when that despicable person angered his mother to death, the Nan Family wouldn’t have ignored the situation.

After his maternal grandfather passed away, they regarded him even less.

Perhaps that was why those people at home never took him seriously.

Hmph, what did it matter if the whole world didn’t take him seriously? He had a good sister!

Moreover, this sister treated him like a true brother!

Now, he was not only an Ancient Martial Cultivator but also a Cultivator. In the future, everyone in the Cheng Family would only be able to look up at him from beneath his feet!

"Brother, did you finish the Yuan Nourishing Pills I gave you last time? You should have reached the Martial Artist Peak by now, right? If you have, don’t forget to tell me, your sister, and I’ll give you Gathering Yuan Pills to help you break through to the Innate stage."

"You even have Gathering Yuan Pills?" Cheng Jiuhe was astonished.

"Yes, I’ve already spoken to my Master. We’ve prepared a bottle of Gathering Yuan Pills for you. Treat them like candy. Also, Brother, as a cultivator who practices both Spirit and Martial Dual Cultivation, don’t focus solely on refining martial arts and neglect your Spiritual Power."

Mengyu felt a bit of regret in her heart: her brother, with his Fire and Wood Dual Spiritual Roots, did not cultivate as quickly as those with a Single Spiritual Root. She and Gu Dongxing had already reached Foundation Establishment, yet her brother was only at the Third Layer of Gathering Essence.

Cheng Jiuhe felt both touched and amused: the Gathering Yuan Pills, which others could hardly obtain, she was casually offering to him as if they were candy.

He once again felt fortunate to have such a good sister. It was just unfortunate that her true identity had to remain hidden for the time being.

Wang Huilan saw that Xiao Hua and Shuiyu both had issues with making the top-scorer wine, and thus she no longer had the desire to continue with it.

After a discussion, they decided to head to the Capital City ahead of schedule.

Shuiyu really wanted everyone to travel together, and it would be best to accompany Mengyu and Huilan to the Capital City before she went on to Shanghai.

However, Mengyu shook her head and refused: "I have other matters to attend to and can’t go with you."

"You can’t be serious?" Shuiyu, Xiao Hua, and Huilan exclaimed in unison.

In fact, Mengyu was worried about dragging them into her trouble.

Because, based on her speculation, the person behind the scenes would definitely not allow her to smoothly make her way to the Capital City: How could he so easily let her appear within the Nan Family’s reach?

On this journey, there would likely be people coming to cause her trouble.

Although Mengyu had asked Le De and Le Shan and Le Shui to keep an eye on that Nan Mingzhu,

So far, all they knew was that Nan Mingzhu’s "mission" was merely her "frolic."

Others like the Housekeeper Nan Ming, although somewhat suspicious, were still within the range of normal behavior and couldn’t be confirmed as the mastermind behind the scenes.

Nevertheless, if the goal of the person behind the scenes was to prevent her from entering the Capital City, then he would certainly make a last-ditch effort and send people to capture her again!

So, how could she possibly let Huilan and Xiao Hua and Shuiyu travel with her? She insisted on going separately from the rest, and even requested they stagger their departure dates from her own.

However, what Mengyu didn’t know was that the Family Head of the Nan Family, Nan Cheng, had also sent Hidden Guards to investigate her, even instructing them to protect her.

Having learned that the person behind the scenes was from the Nan Family, Gu Dongxing was fuming with anger. He held Mengyu tightly and insisted on escorting her to the Capital City to study, but she refused him.

"Brother Gu, please trust me. I am now an Innate Second Layer expert and a Mid-stage Foundation Establishment Cultivator. There are not many who can disadvantage me, but would such people be driven by others?

Moreover, as a cultivator, if I hide behind you at every sign of trouble, how can I ever grow?"
