As usual, the morning activity at Xia Manor was breakfast together, and they had all gathered in the dining room, with Mo Xiaoqi as an extra member, because her current status was Xia Tian's partner.
The atmosphere in the dining room seemed very harmonious, but Xia Ling and Chen Xue's eyes were fixed on Xia Ning. They felt that Xia Ning seemed to have changed a lot, she looked prettier and younger, and she was also more cheerful than usual.
Sensing their intense gazes, Xia Ning turned to the two of them, she raised her eyebrows and asked them. "Father? Sister Xue? Why do you guys keep looking at me like that?"
"How did your cultivation rise so fast Ning'er? I remember that a few days ago your cultivation was still at the 5th Stage Soul Condensation Realm, but now your cultivation has reached the 8th Stage Soul Condensation Realm?" Xia Ling asked his daughter hoping to get a definite answer.
Hearing Xia Ling's question, Chen Xue raised an eyebrow, then she also observed Xia Ning, and it really surprised her, because Xia Ning's cultivation had indeed reached 8th Stage Soul Condensation Realm. "Tell us, Ning'er. How did your cultivation rise to three minor stages in just a few days?"
Xia Xing glanced at Xia Tian, but he looked so relaxed, and he didn't look worried at all if their family found out about his relationship with his second aunt.
Their questions made Xia Ning's heart skip a beat, she finally realized her mistake because she forgot to cover up her cultivation again after making her final breakthrough, and she felt at a loss to answer them. But suddenly she got a voice transmission from Xia Tian, then Xia Ning calmly answered them. "This is because Tian brought me to cultivate in a good place, and the Yin Energy in that place is very dense and rich."
'Since when did Ning'er and Little Tian become so close? He even brought Ning'er to cultivate with him, and where did the two of them cultivate?' Chen Xue was inwardly thinking as she continued to observe Xia Ning.
Liu Ying, who already knew about Xia Ning and her son's relationship, finally decided to intervene in their conversation. "Father, Tian'er took Ning'er to cultivate in the small lake in the western forest. He already told me about the lake, the Yin energy in that place is richer and denser than other places. Actually, Tian'er also wants to take me there, but I was so exhausted last night that I didn't go with them."
'Geez. Tian already told sister Ying about our relationship?' Xia Ning inwardly wondered, as she smiled bitterly in her heart.
Xia Xing finally spoke up to dispel her grandfather and mother's suspicions of Xia Ning. "Grandpa! Mom! What Aunt Ning and Aunt Ying said is true, Tian also wanted to take me to the western forest. But unfortunately, we can only cultivate in that place at midnight, so I decided not to go with them."
Xia Tian was inwardly smiling because Liu Ying and Xia Xing were trying to help Xia Ning to convince Xia Ling and Chen Xue, then he decided to divert their conversation by taking out his sketches, and he handed them to his grandfather directly, as he said. "Anyway, I'd like to ask you to help me build these two sketches of mine, Grandpa. These are the sketches for building a training ground, as well as a bathing pool."
Xia Ling immediately opened the sketch, he observed the training ground sketch carefully first, but he immediately frowned because the training ground sketch looked unusual. Moreover, each of the training equipment was also unusual, especially after he read every detail about the training equipment. Then he asked. "Did you sketch this yourself, Little Tian? Where did you get an idea like this?"
"En, I did sketch it. And about the idea, it suddenly popped into my mind, so I immediately drew it" Xia Tian spoke with a serious expression, and he inwardly added. 'I couldn't possibly say I got it from another world that was far more advanced than this world, right?'
Alice laughed at that. [Perhaps, he will have a heart attack, if you tells him like that, Master.]
"Are you joking with this old man, Little Tian?" Xia Ling said as he glared his grandson. "Hurry up and explain to this old man or I'll spank your ass."
Liu Ying, Xia Xing, and Xia Ning were laughing in their hearts, because they already knew that Xia Tian had memories of his past life, and they were certain that the sketches was related to his past life.
"At least I didn't ask for anything bad, right?" Xia Tian said with a casual shrug, then he continued. "Anyway, I want to improve my physique, and with this method of mine I can improve my physique quickly. Besides, the guards and soldiers guarding the Xia Manor can also train with me, so they will also become stronger in the future."
Xia Ling didn't say anything, and he continued to stare at his grandson in suspicious, it made him wonder in his heart what made his grandson's mindset change. The former Xia Tian was so lazy, he only knew going to brothels, and all that kind of place. But now he's actually asking to build a training ground, and he also looks so excited to practice.
"What do you think, Grandpa? Trust me, I do want to change." Xia Tian was still speaking seriously, because his grandfather was still suspicious of him. Even though he suspected him out of bad intentions, it still made him uncomfortable.
Xia Ling pondered for a while, then he sighed softly. "Fine. Grandpa will help you to build this training ground, but I also want to see what kind of training you will do later. Do we agree?"
"No problem! If you want, then you can also join me later, Grandpa." Xia Tian inwardly laughed because his grandfather had finally given up. "As for the bathing pool, all of you will know the benefits later when it's finished."
