"Sister Gu Jin, I’ve broken through to the Qi Refining Second Layer with the Mystic Sky Technique I’ve been cultivating."
Gu Jin, who was washing cups by the pool, turned around in disbelief upon hearing the boy’s sudden words.
She looked up and down at the boy standing outside the kitchen and noticed that the aura around him had indeed changed.
A thin layer of spiritual power was spreading, truly signifying a breakthrough.
Gu Jin placed the cup in the sink, wiped her hands, and walked towards An Mingji.
Standing before the boy, her face was full of surprise: "You really broke through, and it’s even the Qi Refining Second Layer!"
An Mingji also revealed a smile, knowing that breaking through showed he wasn’t useless, proving that he could cultivate.
This made his envy, regret, and disappointnt from last night’s news of Yu Shuo’s breakthrough vanish completely.
"Xiao An, how did you break through?" Gu Jin asked curiously.
With just this one question, the smile on An Mingji’s face disappeared.
His face turned pale, and he slightly opened his mouth, wanting to say sothing.
But he didn’t know how to explain.
This troubled look fell into Gu Jin’s eyes, but she thought he was weak due to the recent breakthrough.
She pushed the boy towards the bedroom: "Your face doesn’t look good; it must be because your body is still too weak from the breakthrough. Hurry back to bed; anything else can wait until later."
Undeniably, hearing her say this, An Mingji felt a sense of relief.
Following Gu Jin’s lead, he returned to his room and lay down to rest.
As for matters of the future, they would be dealt with later.
Perhaps it was truly due to the recent breakthrough, but as An Mingji lay in bed, he quickly fell into a deep sleep.
...
After cleaning up the plates and utensils, Gu Jin walked out of the kitchen and closed the door.
She glanced at Duoduo, who was curled up in its nest, and raised an eyebrow slightly.
The little creature would eat its fill and then sleep, and it wasn’t picky. The millet cake and milk in its bowl had been cleaned up thoroughly.
Rembering that wolves eat at, Gu Jin decided she would buy so at for it later.
Moreover, not only the little creature but the children in the house needed at as well.
It seed like she hadn’t prepared any at dishes for Xiao An in a while. Now that the boy had finally broken through, she wouldn’t have to bother looking for cultivation thods in her spatial realm and could make so delicious dishes to nourish him.
Retracting her gaze, Gu Jin returned to the bedroom.
She walked over to the desk and picked up the phone on the table.
Coincidentally, just as she grabbed her phone, it rang with an incoming call.
She glanced at the caller ID and answered the call.
As the line connected, it seed the caller hadn’t expected her to pick up so quickly and didn’t speak imdiately.
Gu Jin sat at the desk, holding her phone, and gazed at the window sill with a gentle voice: "Brother Qiu, why aren’t you saying anything?"
In the hospital, Qiu Qianghai was already aware of what had happened yesterday.
He knew that Old Master Yu had t with Gu Jin last night with his brother-in-law.
He also knew Gu Jin’s identity, realizing that she was actually a superpower cultivator.
Furthermore, he learned that she had accepted his nephew, Yu Shuo, as a disciple.
All of this had overturned his understanding.
Especially this recent car accident, which filled him with complex feelings towards Gu Jin.
He had long known that Gu Jin was extraordinary but hadn’t anticipated such a significant twist from her.
Qiu Qianghai also knew that now the entire Yu Family was at Gu Jin’s disposal.
"Miss Gu..."
Qiu Qianghai spoke awkwardly, unsure of what to say.
Gu Jin, however, remained casual as always: "How is Brother Qiu’s health?"
Touching the bandage on his head, Qiu Qianghai, feeling fortunate to have survived, said: "I’m alright, just that the head injury is more severe, the rest are just superficial wounds."
