Chapter 434: Chapter 435: You Must Work Hard to Cultivate

"The Yin and Yang are..."

Zeng Xiaoxiao didn’t notice the expression on Xiao Yi’s face next to her. She wrinkled her small upturned nose and immediately turned to the next page, starting to read aloud.

Hmm?

Listening to the content Zeng Xiaoxiao recited, Xiao Yi’s complexion changed instantly. He couldn’t help but lean his head forward to get a better look, and when he saw the text clearly, his expression grew even more solemn, his gaze fixed tightly on the words as if he was afraid of missing even a single letter.

"Psh, what a trashy scripture, writing all this gibberish that can’t be understood at all," complained Zeng Xiaoxiao after only a short while of reading. The complex traditional characters were hard to recognize, but what was more important was that she found the content to be utter nonsense, completely unintelligible to her and "not fun at all."

Having said that, she closed the book immediately, planning to toss it to Xiao Yi to take a look, but as she closed the book, she noticed something off about Xiao Yi’s demeanor. He stood there quietly, motionless, as if lost in deep thought. He seemed unaware of the book closing and perhaps even didn’t hear her voice.

"Brother Xiao, what’s wrong?"

Zeng Xiaoxiao asked curiously, giving Xiao Yi a push.

"Little girl, could you give me this book?"

Xiao Yi finally came to his senses, looking earnestly at Zeng Xiaoxiao. If it were any ordinary treasure, even if it were worth a fortune, he wouldn’t think to ask Zeng Xiaoxiao for it, but this book was different; it meant too much to him. Thus, he thickened his skin and asked her for it.

"Brother Xiao, you want it? Take it then, this book was originally yours anyway, but what’s so interesting about this lousy book?"

Upon hearing Xiao Yi wanted the book, Zeng Xiaoxiao passed it to him without thinking. Seeing Xiao Yi seriously accepting the book as if it were a priceless treasure, her curiosity finally got the better of her, and she began to inquire.

"Hehe, indeed, there’s nothing interesting to look at, but to me, it’s incredibly useful. Xiaoxiao, I truly thank you today. If it wasn’t for you, I might have missed out on discovering this book," said Xiao Yi with a chuckle, carefully placing the book aside. He wasn’t in a hurry to look at it again, but instead, he regarded Zeng Xiaoxiao with great appreciation.

If it hadn’t been for Zeng Xiaoxiao’s keen eye catching the anomaly, Xiao Yi might have completely missed the opportunity to obtain the book. Perhaps it was fate. He thought about how they happened to visit this place for fun, to see wild boars, and how a wild boar happened to attack her, leading to a violent confrontation... and ultimately, it was Zeng Xiaoxiao who had led to the discovery of the book...

So, he was truly grateful to her. In his eyes, the book belonged to her, not him...

However, he couldn’t explain the book’s value to her, after all, she wasn’t a Martial Path Cultivator.

"It’s very useful to you? But how come it seems like it’s written in such a confusing way?" Zeng Xiaoxiao still asked out of curiosity.

"That... It’s hard for me to explain, but in short, this book is indeed very important to me. Also, Xiaoxiao, don’t mention to anyone that we found such a book, okay?" Xiao Yi attempted to explain to Zeng Xiaoxiao but after a while, he found himself at a loss for words, and could only sigh before instructing her seriously.

Although he felt that Zeng Xiaoxiao’s exposure to the martial world likely wouldn’t be extensive, especially to understand the profundity of the scripture they had found, for safety’s sake, he still warned her.

Because he was acutely aware that if someone of his level found out about this scripture, it could definitely incite bloody chaos, and many would be driven to madness for it.

"Oh, alright, Brother Xiao. Is this book a kind of martial arts secrets manual?"

Zeng Xiaoxiao blinked her large eyes; although she rarely read wuxia novels, she watched TV occasionally, and sometimes she would catch some martial arts films. Hearing how seriously Xiao Yi spoke, she suddenly came to this notion.

"You could say that, hehe."

Martial arts secrets? This scripture was much more formidable than any martial arts secrets. If it were any ordinary martial arts manual, Xiao Yi wouldn’t even glance at it. Hearing her words, Xiao Yi chuckled inwardly, but he didn’t bother explaining further, as this explanation was simpler and easier to understand.

"Wow, so after you practice the secrets in the manual, Brother Xiao, will you become a peerless master?"

Realizing it truly was a martial arts secret manual, Zeng Xiaoxiao’s eyes lit up with excitement, her round little face flushed with enthusiasm, and her small hands animatedly waving.

"That should be the case."

Although Xiao Yi knew that the ’peerless master’ she imagined was probably nothing more than Scaling Walls and Vaulting Roofs, or perhaps being simply good at fighting, he merely chuckled without saying much and nodded.

Yet he was well aware that if he cultivated the teachings in that Scripture, it wouldn’t be as simple as the ’peerless master’ she envisioned. If it were, he would already be one, and he wouldn’t care about the book at all...

Although it was just a fleeting glimpse, having seen only a few lines of Scripture, Xiao Yi already knew that this book was definitely a world-shocking cultivation manual of an exceedingly high level.

"Oh, that’s great, Brother Xiao, you must work hard at your cultivation."

Zeng Xiaoxiao excitedly waved her little fists, "When you become an unparalleled expert, I’ll take you to beat up everyone in G City, even to challenge Old Man Zhang’s martial arts school. Right, we’ll also pluck out Old Man Li’s beard from the military, and there’s more..."

"......"

Watching Zeng Xiaoxiao get more and more excited, waving her little hands with a look of longing on her face, Xiao Yi couldn’t help but have a line of black veins popping on his forehead.

Especially listening to the long list of names spewing from her mouth... his forehead was practically surrounded by those black lines.

He was almost certain that these guys must have been the ones who taught the girl a lesson in the past, giving her a hard time...

That little girl might look harmless and innocent, but she kept a clear record in her heart of anyone who treated her badly...

In his heart, he secretly decided that unless under some special circumstances, he absolutely could not reveal his true strength in front of the little girl, and even more so, he would limit his own actions in the future.

He also couldn’t help but feel relieved about his own wisdom for never telling her his true strength, and for having restrained himself just now from casually lifting the wild boar that weighed more than 500 grams with one hand...

Otherwise, he was afraid that as soon as he returned to G City, he would be unable to escape his fate.

From the names she mentioned, if he really were to do as she said, wouldn’t that turn the whole of G City upside down, with chaos reigning supreme?

.................

"Are you sure that girl went there?"

As Xiao Yi listened to Zeng Xiaoxiao’s dreams for the future, a tall and handsome man with a somewhat chilly gaze was asking a middle-aged man in a luxurious villa in G City.

"I’m sure, but Xiao Yi went with her too."

The middle-aged man nodded and hesitated before speaking.

"Hmm?"

The chilly man’s eyebrows instantly furrowed.

After a long moment, he spoke with a hint of disgust, "I didn’t expect that guy to have followed her there."

"Yes, I think there might be some trouble, but it’s not surprising. I heard that this little girl from the Zeng family is very close to Xiao Yi at school. It’s normal for her to invite him."

The middle-aged man also showed a trace of worry in his eyes and then explained to the chilly man.

"Is Xiao Yi’s strength really that great?"

The chilly man was silent for a while, then turned his head and looked piercingly at the middle-aged man.

"Based on the description from the third son, his strength is at least above the middle tier of the Bone Tempering Period."

The middle-aged man nodded with a grave expression.

"Middle Tier Bone Tempering, to think that the third brother would be so badly injured. It seems that our plan this time might encounter some difficulties."

The chilly man nodded slightly and then sighed softly, "It’s a pity. This time we’ve finally lured the little girl there, intending to quietly make her disappear from this world. Such an opportunity is rare indeed."

"Yes, but, young master, I still don’t understand why we need to take action against her? It’s the big girl from the Zeng family who is obstructing us, not this one with mere initial tier Bone Tempering strength. If we take care of her directly, wouldn’t that suffice?"

Doubt and confusion showed in the middle-aged man’s eyes as he spoke.

"Hmph, what do you know? The reason why the Zeng family has its current status is all because of this little girl. As long as she disappears from this world, wouldn’t it be easy to deal with the Zeng family?"

The chilly man’s eyes revealed a vicious look. Seeing that the middle-aged man still seemed confused, he refrained from elaborating. It was as if he realized he had said too much in a moment of eagerness, and, impatiently waving his hand, he changed the subject, "Is there any news from Mr. Fei’s side?"
