One month later, Yang Xiao’s Flying Leopard Thunder Hamr was extrely proficient, almost reaching the realm where man and hamr beco one.
The Spiritual Power Technique taught by Elder Ye greatly aided Yang Xiao. As long as Yang Xiao operated the Thunder Hamr cultivation technique and activated the runes on the Thunder Hamr, he could use spiritual power to control the Thunder Hamr to fly freely within a hundred ters, summoning lightning strikes.
Over a month, the valley on the back mountain of the academy was battered by Yang Xiao, but fortunately, Yang Xiao later focused on striking certain areas to avoid destroying the entire valley’s vegetation.
Three months later, Yang Xiao’s Life and Death Iteration Law rose by another level, with his four basic attributes reaching 106 points, and wisdom at 110 points.
Xiao Ling, Yelu Caiyun, Bing’er, Yelu Qing, as well as Gao Lou and Chen Cangshan now followed Yang Xiao to cultivate Ancient Martial Arts, along with the Heavenly Silkworm Technique and Life and Death Iteration Law.
After Xiao Ling entered the Empire Level Interdiate Realm, she relied entirely on the Life and Death Iteration Law and Heavenly Silkworm Technique to enhance her Genetic Evolution. According to Yang Xiao’s speculation, Xiao Ling’s bottleneck probably lies at the Empire Level Advanced realm.
Yelu Caiyun astonishingly entered the King Level advanced realm; she now trains diligently every day, with her schedule packed with training courses besides al and sleep tis.
Gao Lou and Chen Cangshan are also progressing rapidly, especially Chen Cangshan. He had a higher natural talent initially, and following Yang Xiao’s cultivation has expedited his growth.
On this day, Yang Xiao routinely arrived at Yelu Caiyun’s villa to guide her in Ancient Martial Cultivation.
After finishing their training, Yang Xiao, Yelu Caiyun, Yelu Qing, and Bing’er sat in the back garden chatting when knockings ca from the front yard.
Qing’er ran over to answer the door, suddenly shouting:
"Oh, Miss, Aunt Hong is here, Aunt Hong is here."
Yelu Caiyun imdiately jumped up and ran toward the hall inside the villa.
Yang Xiao remained in the garden, chatting with Bing’er while inquiring about her daily life.
re seconds later, a furious roar echoed from inside the villa hall,
"Shaless!"
It was Yelu Caiyun’s voice.
Yang Xiao and Yelu Caiyun had been involved for almost a year, yet he had never heard Yelu Caiyun this agitated. He promptly stood up and walked into the villa hall.
Inside the hall, a middle-aged woman sat with elegant features, clearly a beauty in her youth.
Yelu Caiyun and Qing’er both had tears brimming in their eyes, while the middle-aged woman wore a sorrowful expression.
Seeing Yang Xiao enter the hall, the middle-aged woman paused for a mont.
Yang Xiao courteously nodded to her, then asked Yelu Caiyun:
"Caiyun, what’s going on?"
Caiyun wiped away her tears, forcing a slight smile, and said:
"Nothing, really, oh, I forgot to introduce you. This is my aunt, Aunt Hong; this is Yang Xiao, my good friend from Flying Leopard Academy."
Aunt Hong had already scrutinized Yang Xiao from top to bottom, and she faintly smiled, saying:
"Hello, Young Master Yang."
Yang Xiao nodded,
"I’ve t Aunt Hong, not knowing if Aunt Hong traveled such a long distance; is there sothing you need to ask Caiyun?"
Aunt Hong hesitated a bit and glanced at Yelu Caiyun.
Yelu Caiyun imdiately said:
"Ah, it’s nothing much, I’ve been at Flying Leopard Academy for nearly a year, and my family missed , so they sent Aunt Hong to visit."
"Oh, I see. Well, Caiyun, if there’s anything you need my help with, just say it and don’t stand on ceremony."
"Thank you, Yang Xiao, really, there’s nothing going on."
"Then I’ll head out, you and Aunt Hong can chat."
He estimated that Yelu Caiyun’s family had so dostic matters to resolve, and as an outsider, it wasn’t proper to intervene. He then decided to leave with Bing’er.
Bing’er usually lived with Yelu Caiyun.
Yang Xiao said:
"Caiyun, I’ll take Bing’er back to stay with for two days; I’ll guide her on basic skills in Genetic Evolution cultivation."
Yelu Caiyun nodded.
Yang Xiao left with Bing’er.
On the way, Bing’er couldn’t hold it in finally and asked:
"Uncle, did you see Caiyun sister’s tears?"
"I saw them indeed."
"She certainly encountered sothing difficult; why didn’t you help her?"
Bing’er usually lived with Caiyun and Qing’er; Caiyun was extrely kind to Bing’er, and their relationship was very close.
"Alas, I asked her, and she said nothing’s wrong. Bing’er, you should know so things can only be dealt with personally, and aren’t suitable for others to intervene. Caiyun doesn’t want to talk, and I can’t forcibly help her."
Bing’er nodded.
...
Inside Yelu Caiyun’s villa, the atmosphere was very sorrowful.
Yelu Caiyun was in tears,
"Aunt Hong, what exactly happened, tell in detail."
Aunt Hong sighed and said:
"City Lord Xin Ding’s son Xin Chuixue returned from the Imperial Guard and proposed to our Yelu Family wanting to marry you. The master and mistress disagreed and politely declined him. As a result, this Xin Chuixue, relying on his status as an Imperial Guard and his Empire Middle Level cultivation, forcibly told us,
that the woman he desired would not be unattainable. If we don’t marry you to him, he will destroy our Yelu Family. The master could not abide this and argued a few words; consequently, he was severely injured and took seven days to recover.
Xin Chuixue ca again a few days ago, telling the master, if you won’t marry him, then sell our Yelu Family’s Crystal Stone Mine to him."
"Ridiculous!"
Yelu Caiyun gnawed her teeth in anger, her eyes wide.
"Isn’t this plain robbery?"
"Alas, you’re right. He offered ten billion Crystal Coins to buy our mine. This mine is now the biggest financial source for our Yelu Family; everyone in the entire family relies on this mine for survival, producing not less than three to four billion Crystal Coins annually,
but our Yelu Family’s nation has fallen, the entire family only has the master as an Empire Level Primary Level evolver, and amongst the younger generation, no one can fill the void,
Xin Chuixue saw our weaknesses, which is why he dares to brazenly rob our Yelu Family."
"Then, what’s the situation now?"
"Alas, the master and clansn discussed for a long ti, also inviting Gao Lou’s father to diate, but Xin Chuixue wouldn’t agree to anything, demanding we either marry you to him or sell him the mine.
The master had no choice but to send to ask your opinion."
Yelu Caiyun’s heart sank, feeling a wave of desolation.
In this world, having no strength ant being bullied, and the situation of the Yelu Family had persisted for a long ti. She knew from a young age that the family’s decline was unstoppable, her father and several elder relatives struggled bitterly, seeking favor from the City Lord and several powerful figures, yet it turned out impossible to avoid being divided.
Her father sent Aunt Hong to ask her, it was certainly a dilemma,
Once the mine was gone, the Yelu Family would be completely finished. If Yelu Caiyun was willing to endure humiliation and marry Xin Chuixue, she might help the Yelu Family regain so losses and buy so ti.
Yelu Caiyun collapsed helplessly onto the sofa, tears flowing continuously, her heart cut painfully.
She trained diligently at Flying Leopard Academy to prevent such situations, yet things still occurred irrespective of her will.
She had secretly vowed to revive her family with her efforts, but now what could she do?
She knew Xin Chuixue very well, a womanizer who frequented brothels, marrying him would truly be a fate worse than death.
But if she didn’t marry him, the only Crystal Stone Mine of the Yelu Family would be forcibly sold to Xin Chuixue, leading the entire family to rapid decline due to the loss of their developnt resource.
Not selling to Xin Chuixue?
With City Lord Xin Ding’s authority and Xin Chuixue’s despicable ans, they had countless ways to pressure Yelu Caiyun’s family into selling the mine.
Yelu Caiyun felt the sky collapse, her world turned gray.
