Not What We Want

Alex sat in the rattling carriage that slowly moved towards its destination, Silverleaf city.

Pearl was still to the side, making quite the friendship with the little girl named Xue. 

He sat cross-legged on his seat, sending all of his focus onto his meridians. They… they were almost twice as wide as what his meridians would normally be. 

Considering it was smaller than normal already due to it not properly healing, this was actually quite massive.

"Will it really heal?" Alex asked.

"Yes, yes, you don't have to worry. Everyone had to go through it once in a while to understand the pain of overinflated meridians. Only then do they realize that it's something bad that one shouldn't do" Shen Jing said.

By now, Alex had come to accept the fact that Shen Jing wasn't really a bad guy. The way he had killed the 5 men without Alex feeling a trace of his power… Shen Jing had no need for these petty tricks.
