37 Xia Guanyus Personal Warehouse (1/2)

Constant chirping of birds and crows of roosters signaled the arrival of dawn. Jiang Tian's biological clock awakened him and he sat cross-legged in his room.

Last night's events still lingered in his mind and and it made him smile.

Xia Xingyue's way of tempering her soul also helped Jiang Tian improve his mastery of the Ghost Emperor Scripture. As a peak powerhouse. Jiang Tian was unparalleled and never got to experiment his Ghost Emperor Scripture on stronger enemies.

Now that his cultivation restarted, Jiang Tian would inevitably face against stronger enemies and training methods and strategies effective against them was necessary. That's where Xia Xingyue comes into the picture.

Possessing higher cultivation and a stronger soul. Jiang Tian had to find vitals that he could exploit and make sure that he would succeed before attacking.

Battle between souls were gruesome and a single mistake could possibly cause a backlash that spelled one's doom. Miscalculation frequently led to the deaths of strong soul cultivators back in his previous life.

As a cautious person, Jiang Tian never moved without ensuring his success. Though he mostly risked his life, he always had multiple escape routes that guaranteed his life upon failure.

After all, even perfect calculation, planning and preparations, there was a single variable that could never be predicted in battle. A single variable that no one in this world could possibly predict.

And that was luck.

Yes,

That's right.

Without luck, plans never succeeded and objectives never achieved.

To counter his abysmal luck. Jiang Tian made it a habit to create numerous escape routes and back up plans.

Training with Xia Xingyue proved dangerous but beneficial, and other than miscalculating her weak points, it didn't possess any real threat towards Jiang Tian since she was inside his dreamland.

And inside that world, he was the sovereign that ruled over everything.

While Jiang Tian contemplated about his next course of actions. A knock disurbed his rumination and Xia Bingyue's strange voice came behind the door.

”Jiang Tian, it's time for breakfast. Father is waiting for us at the living hall...”

”I'm coming!” Jiang Tian shouted a reply and arranged his clothes before walking outside of his room where he was greeted by Xia Bingyue that held a strange expression on her face.

Jiang Tian observed her then frowned when he realized that she darted her gaze all around the area yet never glanced at him even once.

”Is Miss Bingyue still angry at me?” Jiang Tian jokingly said and Xia Bingyue trembled before dashing towards the opposite direction in a panic. Leaving Jiang Tian behind with a mystified expression on his face.

Xia Bingyue walked away with hasty footsteps. Her crimson expression indicated her panic and embarrassment when she remembered the hushed voices and ragged breathing that she heard last night at Xia Xingyue's room.

How can he act like nothing happened last night?! Are men really that apathic when it comes to those kinds of things?! And to think that he has such a vicious side, verbally abusing the Patriarch herself...

Xia Bingyue looked at Jiang Tian in a different light.

Arriving at the living room for breakfast, Jiang Tian locked his eyebrows when he noticed that both father and daughter had weird looks within their eyes.

Could it be that they heard what we were doing last night?

Jiang Tian thought. Apart from that, he couldn't think of anything that would make them stare at him like that. Lightly coughing, Jiang Tian said.

”Ermmm, about last night. The Patriarch just invited me for a round of training. She wants me to temper her soul so if you heard something weird last night coming out of her room, all of those things are just the result of our training...”
