"Oh, it was I who asked him to notify you. I was just asking casually, it’s nothing serious. Uncle Liu, you carry on with your work. I won’t disturb you any longer; I’ll co and chat with you and Uncle Chen another day."
Xiao Yi nodded sowhat dejectedly and hung up the phone.
By now, he had finally completely understood that during these seven days, he hadn’t been lying unconscious in the villa the whole ti; he had returned to the villa this morning or perhaps last night. Before that, who knows where the monk had taken him to heal.
No wonder Auntie Li didn’t find it strange when she saw him awaken. No wonder there was not a hint of joy in her reaction...
But who exactly was this monk, and why did he seem so familiar with him?
Through his interactions over this period, Xiao Yi had gained a basic understanding of Liu Yuan. Liu Yuan wasn’t a careless person. He wouldn’t believe anyone who used his phone to call Liu Yuan so easily. The monk must have gained his trust, and without any doubt, he certainly said sothing that earned their trust...
On the other end of the line, Liu Yuan listened to the dial tone from the phone and also couldn’t help but feel puzzled. From what Xiao Yi said on the phone just now, it seed like... sothing wasn’t quite right. As if he was unaware of his friend’s call that day?
Could it be... that he was fooled that day?
But that wasn’t right. At the ti, he asked a lot of questions about Xiao Yi, and judging by the person’s tone of voice, it was almost certain that he really was an acquaintance of Xiao Yi’s, even more familiar than him!
Moreover, judging from the way Xiao Yi called just now, it seed like Xiao Yi hadn’t suffered any losses or harm?
Unclear, it was really unclear.
However, Young Master Xiao’s affairs were always bizarre. Mr. Chen had said that they should help if they could, but with so matters, it’s best to turn a blind eye when necessary and provide help when it’s needed.
With that thought, Liu Yuan shook his head and stopped dwelling on it further, focusing instead on continuing to handle the company’s affairs.
After pondering for a while, still full of doubts, and knowing by now that the monk likely wouldn’t appear again, Xiao Yi could only helplessly shake his head, push these puzzles to the back of his mind, and return to reality.
Initially, he had been prepared to seek out Elder An imdiately, but since Elder An had made an appointnt for the afternoon, he would just go in the afternoon. There was still ti, and it would suffice to go after having lunch.
As soon as he thought of having a al, his stomach growled. Having been unconscious for so many days, he didn’t know if he had eaten anything, but judging by the fact that he had been asleep incessantly, his eating situation must have been quite dire. Even if he had been fed, it was probably just so nutrient solutions, and now he suddenly felt ravenous.
He should find sothing to eat first.
Deciding this, Xiao Yi turned and went down to the kitchen, starting to get busy.
Soon, a delicious lunch was freshly prepared. Xiao Yi had intended to invite Auntie Li, who had just tidied up the room, to join him, but she hastily claid she had sothing urgent and left the villa. As she left, she gave him a peculiar look, which puzzled him.
However, Xiao Yi didn’t pay too much attention. Having not eaten for several days, he was indeed very hungry. As she said she had sothing to do, he didn’t insist on keeping her, so he sat down by himself and, in a rare display of ravenousness, devoured all the food.
Indeed, one simply can’t do without eating!
After having eaten his fill, Xiao Yi suddenly felt an indescribable clarity and refreshnt, a sensation of being fully invigorated.
With his current cultivation power, actually, he would hardly notice any significant issue going without food for a day or two, but under the influence of the old man, he still habitually ate on ti every day, every al, of course, except in special circumstances. Missing a al would make him feel sowhat uncomfortable.
Having not eaten for several days, although he didn’t know how the monk had maintained his nutrition, which allowed his body not to suffer any detrint besides a slight hunger, this after all was different from eating.
After tidying up his things and checking the ti, finding he still had plenty of it, Xiao Yi returned to his room and sat cross-legged on the bed.
This injury had once again intensified his sense of crisis. Before, those formidable opponents were only in his imagination, but now, they had truly appeared and had already hard him once; thus, he desperately hoped his strength would increase swiftly...
Although this ti he was lucky, saved by that monk, he couldn’t count on being so fortunate every ti to have a master co to his rescue. Moreover, relying on others was never his style; depending on anyone was never as solid as relying on his own two hands... Especially with sothing like his life, placing one’s hope on such epheral prospects was absolutely not an option...
Huh!
Silently activating the incantation of True Scripture and sensing the flow of True Qi within his body, Xiao Yi’s face imdiately showed a look of surprise, which quickly turned into imnse shock.
When he checked his injuries in the morning, he had only used his internal force briefly and stopped, not noticing anything. But now, as True Energy circulated within him, Xiao Yi imdiately discovered that not only had his old wounds healed, but there had also been so wondrous changes in his ridians!
The ridians in his body had beco more resilient and seed to have widened as well!
What did this an?
Nobody understood better than Xiao Yi who had cultivated for so many years and had been under the tutelage of soone as formidable as the old man, gaining a profoundly deep and comprehensive understanding of the cultivation process.
The benefits of this, although not imdiately evident, would have extrely important implications in the long run. The more resilient and broader the human body’s ridians, the more True Energy it could store!
This ant that his journey on the path of cultivation would be longer and further!
Not to ntion, even looking at the imdiate benefits, they were quite significant. Such resilient and broadened ridians would ensure that he always maintained the greatest advantage within his level!
The wider his ridians, the more True Energy he could mobilize in an instant, and the faster he could do so. What kind of terrifying advantage did this an in a clash between masters?
Just who was this monk!
What kind of heaven-defying thods did he possess!
