Chapter 293: Chapter 259 【A Lifetime of Liu Li Bai】

Since Ye Fan had successfully condensed the Mental Power Seed, becoming an Innate Mage, his Spiritual Sensing Power had greatly strengthened, especially in detecting the auras of cultivators, to which he was extremely sensitive.

Sensing that Su Yuxin was rapidly approaching the villa, Ye Fan gently leaped off the jade stone.

A moment later, just as Su Yuxin was about to reach the villa’s courtyard gate, her speed slowed down considerably.

In the moonlight, one could see her usually cold and frosty face faintly reveal some hesitation, uncertain whether to go in and look for Ye Fan.

Because she inherently inherited the modesty of Huaxia women, the outer-cold and inner-soft Su Yuxin was the exemplar of a virtuous wife and good mother—when her man was busy, she would not disturb him, but wait until he was done. Then, she would present her most tender side, allowing the man’s weary mind and body to relax.

Today, she approached Ye Fan to discuss something, but upon reaching the gate of the villa, she felt she had been too anxious, which made her hesitate.

"Yuxin, why don’t you come in?"

Inside the villa courtyard, noticing that Su Yuxin had stopped at the gate, Ye Fan slightly startled and asked.

Click!

Startled by Ye Fan’s words, Su Yuxin’s heart trembled slightly, her face showing a bit of panic, then she gathered herself and stepped into the villa, saying apologetically as she walked, "I’m sorry, I didn’t mean to disturb your cultivation..."

"If anyone should be sorry, it’s me, I’ve only been busy with my own matters these days," Ye Fan said.

On hearing this, Ye Fan cursed himself for being silly. He had been too caught up in urgent affairs, completely neglecting Su Yuxin.

"I..."

Hearing Ye Fan’s words, Su Yuxin, fully aware that Ye Fan had misunderstood her reason for coming, tried to say something.

However—

Before she could finish her sentence, Ye Fan was already by her side like a gust of wind, taking her hand and gently saying, "From tomorrow on, you should stay here. If you want to practice cultivation, join me in the yard; if not, you can rest on your own."

"Mhm."

Su Yuxin inadvertently nodded, then realizing something, her cheeks immediately flushed red. She lowered her head, her voice as soft as a mosquito, "Act... actually, that’s not why I came..."

"I know."

Seeing Su Yuxin’s shy expression, Ye Fan couldn’t help but feel a mix of amusement and frustration. In his view, even if Su Yuxin wanted to stay with him, she would never bring it up herself, "Then what is it about?"

"It’s about Liu Li," Su Yuxin mustered up her courage and looked up at Ye Fan.

"What about her?"

Ye Fan was slightly startled, thoughtfully saying, "Could it be that her body is experiencing some changes? It shouldn’t be though, I used my Essence Blood to restore her Primordial Qi and improve her constitution, so her health should be better than before."

"There’s nothing wrong with her body," Su Yuxin bitterly smiled.

"Then her?" Ye Fan puzzled.

"Could you help Liu Li, like you helped the Jin Emperor, to cultivate a Power Seed and become a Martial Artist?" Su Yuxin stated her purpose.

"Is this her idea?" Ye Fan was a bit surprised, "Isn’t she uninterested in martial arts?"

"No, this is my idea."

In the midst of speaking, Su Yuxin sighed softly and continued, "After the incident last time, although Liu Li was physically unharmed, it seems to have left a shadow on her psyche. That day, she secretly asked me to teach her meditation."

Ye Fan was slightly shocked, as he had been focused on dealing with Bai Luo recently and hadn’t noticed these details.

"I saw her desire to learn martial arts, to possess the ability to defend herself, so I taught her the methods of meditation," Su Yuxin continued. "After learning the methods, she has been attempting to practice in recent days, but hasn’t managed to master it."

"Although the path of Martial Arts doesn’t require as strict a talent as that of a Magician, not everyone can practice it," Ye Fan sighed. "Moreover, learning meditation directly without any basis in Martial Arts is nearly impossible."

"Yes, I overlooked this at first, until today, which is why I came to find you," Su Yuxin nodded, her voice complicated.

"Liu Li has always been strong-willed and hates to lose. Because she hasn’t managed to learn meditation, she has been practicing almost day and night. Initially, she practiced in her bedroom and would just fall asleep when tired. Later, perhaps because she saw you practicing outdoors, she also sat at the stone table in the yard to study meditation. As a result, due to excessive mental exhaustion, she fainted on the stone table in the afternoon," Su Yuxin’s tone trembled slightly, her face filled with distress.

"Uh..."

Even Ye Fan, knowing how persistent Su Liuli could be, was slightly surprised to hear Su Yuxin say this.

"Not only that, after she fainted in the afternoon and rested for just a couple of hours, she went back out to the yard to study meditation again. I went to remind her once, and she said she would go back to sleep soon, but she has been practicing until now," Su Yuxin’s voice shook slightly, a pained expression on her face.

Not just Su Yuxin, but even Ye Fan felt a tightness in his chest, "Let’s go find her now. Tonight, I’ll help her generate a Power Seed inside her body, and then leave a Spiritual Imprint of meditation in her consciousness. This way, she can practice on her own, like the Jin Emperor in the future."

"Yes!"

Su Yuxin first nodded vigorously, then as if remembering something, she quickly shook her head, "No, I can’t go."

"Why?" Ye Fan puzzled.

"Liu Li specifically asked me not to tell you when she asked me to teach her meditation," Su Yuxin explained.

"Why?" Ye Fan was stunned.

"Perhaps because she used to often question and criticize you. Now knowing not only of your great strength but also that you saved her life, she feels guilty and unsure how to face you," Su Yuxin subjectively judged.

Impossible.

As Su Yuxin finished speaking, Ye Fan internally dismissed her guess.

With his understanding of Su Liuli, he could tell that she was not the type to bear grudges, and her verbal sparring with him had always been in jest, never taken seriously.

If it were not so, Liu Li wouldn’t have given him a surprise in front of so many people on her birthday!

"To avoid embarrassing Liu Li, you’d better pretend you stumbled upon her meditating accidentally, and give her a way out," seeing Ye Fan silent, Su Yuxin suggested.

"Alright, you wait here for me; I will go find her myself."

Ye Fan nodded in agreement to Su Yuxin’s suggestion, and then his figure flashed, darting out of the villa courtyard, heading straight to the villa where Su Liuli and Situ Ruoshui were staying.

Meanwhile.

In villa number 6, where Su Liuli and Situ Ruoshui lived, Su Liuli was just as Su Yuxin had said, sitting cross-legged on a stone table.

"Sister Liuli, you fainted this afternoon due to excessive spiritual exhaustion. Although you’ve rested for a while, your consciousness is still very weak, and you can’t continue to learn meditation," Situ Ruoshui said worriedly to Su Liuli next to the stone table.

Su Liuli gave a strained smile, "I know, Ruoshui, I’ll go back to sleep in half an hour."

"Sister Liuli, why don’t you let big brother help you learn meditation?" Situ Ruoshui suggested. "Just like the Jin Emperor!"

"No... no way!"

Upon hearing Situ Ruoshui’s words again, Su Liuli inexplicably became a bit agitated, then realizing her own abnormality, she explained further, "Liuli, I’ve heard from Sister Yuxin that learning meditation with the help of someone else, just like the Jin Emperor, although one can become a Martial Artist, the future achievements will be very limited!"

"But... but..."

Situ Ruoshui originally wanted to say that it was difficult for Su Liuli to learn it on her own, but fearing that she would discourage Su Liuli, she swallowed the words that were on her lips.

"Ruoshui, although you are a Mental Body, don’t forget, I am Dong University’s top scholar this year,"

Su Liuli, feigning pride, puffed out her full blossoms and smiled forcibly, "My head is smart, and my comprehension is good too. Through these past few days of studying, I’ve almost grasped it, maybe I’ll learn it in a bit."

"Really?"

Hearing this, Situ Ruoshui’s face lit up with joy; her naive nature couldn’t conceive that Su Liuli might deceive her.

"When have I ever lied to you?" Su Liuli said with a feigned proud smile.

"Since you, Sister Liuli, are about to grasp the method of meditation, you should study a bit longer then," said Situ Ruoshui.

Seeing this, Situ Ruoshui thought for a moment and said, "But only for half an hour, okay? After half an hour, whether you have fully grasped meditation or not, you must go back to your room to rest."

"Okay."

Su Liuli nodded, then noticing that Situ Ruoshui hadn’t turned to go back inside but was still sitting not far away watching her, she added, "Ruoshui, I can’t calm down with you sitting there. Why don’t you go back first? I promise I’ll return in half an hour."

"Alright then,"

Situ Ruoshui blinked, pondered for a moment, then agreed to Su Liuli and stood up to walk toward the main building of the villa.

"Whew–"

Watching Situ Ruoshui approach the main building, Su Liuli secretly sighed in relief, after which, the fake smile on her face disappeared completely, replaced by an expression of seriousness.

"According to Sister Yuxin, to learn meditation, one must use Spiritual Sense to detect Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi, and then use Mind Power to draw the Primordial Qi into the body, circulating it through the small cycle,"

On the stone table, Su Liuli carefully recalled the method taught by Su Yuxin, then took three deep breaths in succession, allowing her mood to settle down, before trying to meditate again.

"Hsss–"

Moments later, Su Liuli felt as if needles were pricking her brain, causing her whole body to shiver and gasp in pain. She had no choice but to open her eyes and stop.

"Smack... smack..."

Under the moonlight, she stretched out her hand and started slapping the back of her head forcefully, trying to use this method to alleviate the pain, while she inwardly questioned herself, "Am I really unable to learn meditation on my own, and must I find him to help me?"

"Su Liuli, if Yuxin and Ruoshui can learn it, why can’t you? Why are you so dumb??"

Slapping, she inevitably scolded herself inwardly, thus increasing the intensity of her slaps, to the point that the back of her neck below her skull turned red.

"Why not go see him? With his help, I will learn meditation as easily as the Jin Emperor, and become a Martial Artist,"

Ignoring the pain in the back of her neck, a wavering suddenly occurred in Su Liuli’s resolve.

"No, Su Liuli, you can’t go to him!"

"You just said it yourself, the achievements of a Martial Artist who learns meditation through someone else’s help are very limited. Even if you learn meditation and become a Martial Artist with his help, you can’t become an Innate Warrior!"

"Then, you won’t have the ability to protect yourself like Sister Yuxin and Ruoshui; you would still be his burden!"

"Burden, do you understand??"

"No! I don’t want to be his burden! I want to learn meditation on my own!!"

After a brief internal struggle, Su Liuli let out a heart-wrenching cry from deep within herself.

Under the night sky.

Her eyes shimmered with tears, yet she stubbornly bit her lip, refusing to let the tears fall!
