I'll Fight You If I Have To!
Two days earlier.
"Is this the medicine that raises your cultivation?"
"So you know, that makes this easier... That's exactly right! As long as you drink this, you'll be instantly able to raise your level to Jade Sky Realm."
Feng Ao Xiu confirmed Ning Ruo's question without batting an eye. Since she will drink it, there's nothing to hide from her. However, as long as Feng Ao Xiu doesn't give the recipe, no one else would be able to make the Pure Qi.
"Hmmm... So it's really true..." Ning Ruo was only guessing. But she never thought that her guess would be correct. However, it was not that hard, considering all the big things she heard about the Feng Clan and Feng Ao Xiu. How Yang Xue Yi's cultivation level rises instantly after the Sealing Dragon Restaurant. And, Feng Ao Xiu's personal bodyguard, Qian Hui increased his level spontaneously in the middle of the match with Li Gao Yun.
Then, she puckered her lips as she intensely glared at the small bottle she received. Then she said, "So why did you give this to me?"
"No need to thank you, it's just a small gift. It's expected since... Wait! What?"
Feng Ao Xiu could not help but be upset. He did not expect this reaction from Ning Ruo at all.
If the Pure Qi was known, and Feng Ao Xiu said he wants to give it to someone, the person who received it would be very grateful. Especially in the Lower Realm, the Pure Qi was like a god to every cultivator.
But, it seems Ning Ruo doesn't feel anything special into it. Not even a little smile could be detected. Does she not want to be a Jade Sky Realm Cultivator? Moreover, she questioned Feng Ao Xiu's purpose in giving it to her.
"Umm... It's not a poison." Feng Ao Xiu replied.
"I know that." Ning Ruo sighed, "I'm asking why did you give it to me. There's someone who needs it more than me, like the soldiers or even your father."
Ning Ruo was right. Feng Ao Xiu doesn't have any reason to give it to Ning Ruo, at least not the one he can tell.
According to his plan, it should be all right if Ning Ruo does not take it. But, it was a backup plan in case there will be a suicide unit from Fanged Wolf Temple attacking. In that case, a fight within the premise of Clan Lord's residence was inevitable. For Feng Ao Xiu, the thing he could not predict was the people who have nothing to lose, and willing to do everything it takes. This was the experience during his stay in the Upper Realm. And, to not bring rage from Cloud Moon Palace, Ning Ruo must survive. Thus, she must be the one to take the Pure Qi.
But, there's no way he could say it. Afraid of Cloud Moon Temple? Or cannot protect Ning Ruo? It's just the same as saying he was weak.
"Do I need a reason to give a gift to a beautiful girl?" Feng Ao Xiu lied.
"Pervert! Lecher!"
Ning Ruo could not believe it. Feng Ao Xiu did it to seduce her, even though he has Yang Xue Yi and Princess Ming as his fiancée. Although she has to admit that this was a great gift, it won't work on Ning Ruo.
Feng Ao Xiu wants to cry, he was misunderstood again. But, what makes him mad was the fact that Ning Ruo likes him, but acts like she doesn't. Of course, it was only a misunderstanding from Feng Ao Xiu.
[Since this is a gift for me... Perhaps, I should just use it...] Ning Ruo thought. She pondered a little bit before she said, "I know I'll give it to Xue Yi!"
"Eh... Why would you give it to her?"
"Xue Yi is the one who needs it the most. The Yang Clan will definitely be targeted. If they attacked, with her newfound strength, then she can protect herself."
"No need!" Feng Ao Xiu said. "The Yang Clan won't be attacked, even if they do they definitely protect Yang Xue Yi. It's already calculated within my plan."
"Why won't they be attacked? What plan are you talking about?"
Then, Feng Ao Xiu told Ning Ruo the generalised of the plan. Of course, he altered some of it a bit, to make it looks like he's fighting as well. But, Feng Ao Xiu gave a thorough explanation of why the Fanged Wolf Temple will fail before they reached the Yang Clan.
"So, you will move all the Yang Army to the Feng Clan and focused it there. It will be unlikely for them to invade the Yang Clan because the ambush troops have taken care of it. Even if there's an attack, the other group would already be defeated, and the one troops in the Feng Clan could immediately come into rescue. Thus, Xue Yi can sit still in the Yang Clan."
"That's right!" Feng Ao Xiu nodded.
"As if I would believe you!!" Ning Ruo yelled directly to Feng Ao Xiu.
"Eh..."
"Who do you think you are!? You think you're a master strategist!? Even if you could predict one, there's no way you can predict all of them. It's decided, I'm moving Xue Yi and all her family here!"
"But, that's not the plan. It's..."
"Shut up!! They would be better here because there's you here! You're stronger than me, they'll be at ease with you protecting them directly!"
"But... But..."
"I said, shut up!!" Ning Ruo yelled again. "You better change your plan! I'll fight you if I have to!"
"Fight..." Feng Ao Xiu became extremely nervous when she said that word. Afraid of really having to fight, Feng Ao Xiu agreed to change his plan.
Feng Ao Xiu wants to cry. Now, he has extra baggage to carry, including Yang Xue Yi and her family.
"But, don't give it all to Xue Yi. Just half of them should be enough."
"Half?"

Big Gu sweated a lot after dodging those attacks. Although it won't kill him, it could injure him.
Seeing two young girls who can make those attacks, he quickly directed his Qi to find out the two girls' cultivation level.
"Wait! You're both a Jade Mortal Realm!"
Obviously, the one bottle Feng Ao Xiu gave could make Ning Ruo advanced to Jade Sky Realm. But since it was halved, it's only enough to bring the two of them to the level of Jade Mortal Realm.
Big Gu was shocked. For these two teenage girls, their age was too low to be a Jade Mortal Realm. But, at the same time, the previous attack was too powerful to be a Jade Mortal Realm.
"Xue Yi, fall back! You can't beat him!" the Clan Lord, yang Wen Jia said.
"Ruo! What are you doing!? He's too strong!" the Sect Master, Ning Huan said.
"Father, it's all right. If it's with Big Sis Ruo, I can do it!"
"Relax, just watch us fight!"
Ning Ruo and Yang Xue Yi immediately jumped and attacked Big Gu.
The two fathers became pale after seeing their daughters recklessness charging to an Ancient Mortal Realm like that.
The result was an even match. But, because there's no more surprise attack, Big Gu became used and did not dodge anymore. However, he's fighting against two people, when he found an opportunity in one of them, the other one covers.
The two fathers laying on the ground could not believe what they see. How could their daughters stand on their own feet, but they lose quickly?
What's happening!?

"Brother-in-law where are you!?"
"Young Master Ao Xiu!"
"Second Young Master, we need you!"
Meanwhile, the search party keep expanding to search for Feng Ao Xiu.
"It's weird, I can't find him anywhere. Where could he have gone?"
"Perhaps, he's in the bushes over there!"
Feng Ao Xiu who's hiding in the bushes was surprised. [No! They're coming here!]
