Three days into the lesson and the Holy Nun Gate had greatly benefitted from it.

Even when he was teaching, Lu Xuan would pause at times to answer questions that weren’t related to the lesson, such as the obstacles these disciples were facing in their path of cultivation.

The disciples of the Holy Nun Gate realized that no matter how troublesome the question seemed, it would all make sense once Lu Xuan had explained it. It was as if he’d known all the answers from the start.

At first, it was supposed to be a discussion between Lin Ziyi and Lu Xuan, but as the conversation progressed, it turned into Lu Xuan’s one-man show.

The reason was simple: these were things that Lin Ziyi had never even dealt with, yet Lu Xuan was able to dissect the topic logically.

That was why she was able to have an equal discussion with him at the beginning until it slowly turned into him becoming the teacher.

Lin Ziyi realized that the path that Lu Xuan was teaching could perfectly co-exist with her path and merge into one.

It was as everything had led to this moment. She even had a feeling that if she followed the path that Lu Xuan had laid out for her, she would have almost limitless potential.

Ten days had passed since then. The things she’d learned during that time saved her years, even decades of training and self-discovery.

Even though she still could not reach the Great Path, she could still reach and perhaps exceed the top of the Consolidation Realm.

Lin Ziyi could not keep her eyes off Lu Xian. She was completely shocked by what was happening: a Consolidation Realm cultivator learning from a Three Flower Realm cultivator.

If she weren’t there herself, she would never have believed such an absurd thing would happen.

Everything pointed to the fact that Lu Xuan’s level of understanding was far higher than hers.

The theory that Lu Xuan laid out was something she could never hope to have learned by herself. Just from what the man had taught her during the discussion, she could feel that Lu Xuan already had a complete set of theories that would lead one towards the Great Path.

The things he had taught her for the past few days were merely the tip of an iceberg, but it was already enough to overthrow any Cultivation System known to man.

She now believed that Lu Xuan wasn’t supported by one single Cultivation Technique but a whole set of Cultivation Systems.

She also realized why Lu Shanshan and Lu Guoguo were able to continue with their cultivations without any guidance, to the point where the Consolidation Realm was now within their reach.

Lu Xuan’s path was even more outrageous. Lin Ziyi couldn’t even imagine how his future would’ve looked if he continued down the perfect path he’d laid out for himself.

It was safe to assume that the Consolidation Realm would not be his limit.

Ten days later, Lin Ziyi stood up and bowed to Lu Xuan. “Mr. Lu, the past few days have been rather enlightening. You truly are one-of-a-kind. Shanshan and Guoguo will definitely flourish in the future as long as they have an older brother like you.”

It was only then Lin Ziyi had completely accepted Lu Xuan. Even though he was still in the Three Flower Realm, she could finally treat him as she would treat other Consolidation Realm cultivators. There was no doubt in her mind that he was going to reach the Consolidation Realm within a few years.

When that happened, Earth would have another Consolidation Realm cultivator, and no one from the outside world would think of invading the recovering planet.

She then recalled how others kept telling her that Lu Xuan might not be powerful in the future despite the power he’d shown over the past few months. These people were convinced that Lu Xuan would not be able to enter the Consolidation Realm.

Even if he were to advance, it would at least take him a few decades.

Lin Ziyi couldn’t help but scoff at the thought. It was clear that these people did not understand what kind of an existence Lu Xuan was. Even she only barely knew him on the surface, yet it was enough to assure her that his future was immeasurable.

Lu Xuan smiled and said, “Thank you for your kind words.”

As they continued their conversation, one of the disciples approached Lin Ziyi and reported, “Sectmaster, the vice-leader of Xuanhuo Sect and Xiaoyao Hou are requesting an audience.”

Everyone stood up immediately upon hearing that.

Li Shou was one thing, but if Xiaoyao Hou was here, then something must have happened as everyone knew how much their Sectmaster hated Xiaoyao Hou.

Xiaoyao Hou was lucky that Lin Ziyi wasn’t a person who put revenge above all else. If she were, she would’ve turned the world upside down just to find him.

Nobody expected him to show up right at her doorstep.

“Li Shou and Xiaoyao Hou? What are they planning?” Lin Ziyi scratched her chin and frowned.

For both Li Shou and Xiaoyao Hou to show up simultaneously, the Sectmaster felt that they came with ill-intentions.

Lu Xuan sighed and said, “They must be here for me.”

It had been almost a month since he’d arrived at the Tempest Ocean Realm. He had been staying in the Holy Nun Gate for the past ten days. It was normal for words to get out.

It was more likely that both Li Shou and Xiaoyao Hou were hunting him down.

What Lu Xuan found surprising was that Xiaoyao Hou would come as well.

Just like any other sly person out there, Xiaoyao Hou cherished his own life the most.

In Lu Xuan’s past life, Xiaoyao Hou even hid for a few decades until he’d achieved the Consolidation Realm before fighting Lin Ziyi once again.

Seeing how desperate he was, the only explanation Lu Xuan found possible was that it was all caused by the consequences of his previous actions.

“You might be right…” Lin Ziyi thought about it, and it made sense. Even though she might’ve not been able to fend them off if they joined hands, their arrival at this hour meant that they had other plans. “Well, whatever the reason may be, since he decides to show up on his own, I’ll make sure he regrets his choices.”

Lu Xuan could feel the murderous intent coming from Lin Ziyi, who almost died when Xiaoyao Hou had tried to assassinate her in the past. After years of searching, she still could not locate the man who tried to kill her.

Does he think I’m not looking for him? That I’d already given up on my revenge?

“Let’s go see what they want.” With a wave of her arm, Lin Ziyi turned into a ray of light and disappeared.

Lu Xuan smiled bitterly as he shook his head.

She was just like how he remembered from her previous life. She might’ve been a shut-in for most of her life, but when it matters the most, she can be one fiery person.

Lu Xuan tapped the floor with his foot and turned into a ray of light as well.

When he finally caught up with her, she was already at the guest hall glaring at Xiayao Hou. Their energy was clashing in the tiny space, and both of them had no intention to back down.
