Chapter 760: Chapter 740 Xiu Lian Career (2)_2

In order to help everyone feel the Spiritual Energy quicker and officially start their Cultivation, Situ Xin set up a Spirit Gathering Array with Spirit Stones. She arranged two arrays—one at her own home and another at her grandfather’s place.

After setting up the Spirit Gathering Array, the Spiritual Energy in both Situ and Loo Family’s homes became significantly denser than outside. This caused the visiting elders to exclaim, "This is strange, staying at the Situ residence feels even more comfortable than being at our own homes."

Some elders also said that the air in the Situ residence felt fresher than outside.

The elders speculated that maybe it was related to good fortune, as their guesses were not unfounded—the younger generations of both Situ and Loo Families had been flourishing in politics and the military in recent years.

Comparing that to their own descendants, they could see a stark difference. The situation was unbearable when compared directly. Old Master Xiao shared the same curiosity as the other elders, wondering why staying at the Situ residence felt different from being at home. After a day there, one would feel much more relaxed and comfortable.

However, Old Master Xiao had a different idea from the other elders—believing that it was the pleasant mood that created such a feeling.

Situ Xin had discussed with her grandfather and Old Master Loo whether or not to let Old Master Xiao and Xiao Muli join them in Cultivation. Situ Xin asked because she had her reasons; barring any accidents, Xiao Muli would be her other half in this lifetime.

Although Situ Xin wouldn’t admit that she loved Xiao Muli to the extent that no one else would do, she was very clear in her heart that she felt differently about him.

And as for Old Master Xiao, Situ Xin truly held him in the same regard as her own grandfather and Old Master Loo—firstly, Old Master Xiao had watched her grow up, doting on her and favoring her even over his own grandson, Xiao Muli. And secondly, Old Master Xiao was also Xiao Muli’s grandfather, the grandfather of her future other half.

Therefore, when Situ Xin saw her own family members stepping onto the path of Cultivation, she started thinking whether she should involve Xiao Muli and Old Master Xiao too. Nevertheless, Situ Xin still sought the opinion of her grandfather and Old Master Loo on this proposal.

Fortunately, Situ Xin’s gesture greatly improved Old Master Situ’s and Old Master Loo’s moods. Their attitudes toward both Old Master Xiao and Xiao Muli also became much more favorable. Situ Xin’s action made both elders mutter happily in their hearts, "Look, the baby is still closest to us, even consulting us about this matter."

This also showed that if Situ Xin had not consulted the two elders and instead went directly to Old Master Xiao and Xiao Muli, Old Master Situ and Old Master Loo’s faces would have been as sour as could be upon learning about it. And of course, they would not have shown their anger toward their cherished granddaughter, making it clear that Xiao Muli would have been the one to bear the brunt of Old Master Situ’s fury.

Old Master Situ and Old Master Loo did not agree to Situ Xin’s proposal, not because they approved of Xiao Muli and Old Master Xiao joining them in Cultivation, but because they suggested that Situ Xin should postpone the matter. They would discuss it again after the engagement.

Situ Xin readily accepted her grandfather’s and Old Master Loo’s advice. Though she didn’t understand the difference between discussing the matter before or after the engagement, she knew the elders, being older, must have considered more aspects, and therefore had their reasons for the decision.

After consulting her grandfather and Old Master Loo, Situ Xin temporarily shelved the idea and didn’t mention it to Xiao Muli. Meanwhile, the Situ and Loo Families began their Cultivation journeys within the crowded compound, unnoticed by anyone else.

However, except for Situ Xin’s grandparents and Old Master Loo and his wife, and besides Situ Jin, the number of people who knew about her Personal Space had increased by two—Situ Xin’s father, Situ Haotian, and her mother, Loo Yaxin.

The couple was dumbfounded and amazed the first time they entered Situ Xin’s Personal Space, eliciting scoffs from the two elders, who had apparently forgotten their own initial reactions. Situ Xin chose not to burst their bubble.

Xiao Muli stayed home for two days before rushing back to the Xiao Family Mansion. This time, he had dropped his work to return, hoping to assuage his longing, but his calculations were off. Apart from the first day, when he had close contact with Situ Xin, for the rest of his visit he could only watch her from a distance. If he made any move to get close, the men of the Situ and Loo Families would turn protective as if warding off a wolf.

What was even more frustrating was that, after the first day, he wasn’t just watching Situ Xin from afar; subsequently, he could only rest in bed. It was a huge embarrassment for him, having been taken down by those he had previously defeated.

In short, Xiao Muli’s return trip was fraught with difficulties. No matter how many obstacles he faced, however, he reluctantly waved goodbye to Situ Xin and returned to the Xiao Family Mansion to continue his work.

This experience made Xiao Muli seriously consider relocating the headquarters of the Xiao Family to Capital City. Otherwise, if something came up at the Xiao Family Ancestral House, he would have to travel back and forth between there and Capital City. That would be a waste of precious time that he could be spending with Situ Xin.
