A party was held that night. Wu Jian enjoyed the party with Youmei for several hours. He partook of the various delicacies that had been prepared and allowed the other guests to shower him with praise, though he eventually got tired. He wound up sitting next to Hua Xue sometime during the party because he needed a break.
“Congratulations on your victories,” she said with an almost unnoticeable smile.
“Thank you,” he said, nodding at her.
“I knew you were powerful, but I think I underestimated you,” she continued. “Your powers are far beyond what I imagined they could be. That’s the power derived from the Dao of Space, I suppose. I have no idea how you learned such an esoteric dao.”
Wu Jian shrugged. “I was just lucky enough to find a good cultivation method.”
