The Human Emperor (200-400)

C231: Progress On All Sides!

Returning to Kunwu Training Camp, Wang Chong didn't immediately immerse himself in the cultivation of martial arts. Instead, he sent letters to his family, Uncle Li Lin, the Zhang Clan, and Li Zhuxin.

Li Zhuxin had been escorting Zhang Munian to Jiaozhi, and gauging the time, it should be about time for him to return.

Pu leng leng!

Letter pigeons flew around Kunwu Training Camp, and it didn't take too long for Wang Chong to receive a reply letter from his family.

The letter was written by Wang Chong's mother, saying that everything was fine at home. Something unexpected had happened; Wang Chong's little sister, Wang Xiao Yao, had actually snuck out to learn martial arts.

Her teacher seemed to be Wang Chong's teacher, and this fact had been confirmed by the guards in the clan.

"What's going on?" Upon seeing this letter, Wang Chong was dumbfounded.

Little sister? Teacher?

He only had one teacher, and that person was the Demonic Emperor Old Man. However, the issues regarding the Demonic Emperor Old Man had always been a secret, and he had never mentioned them to his family.

His mother and his little sister shouldn’t have known of the Demonic Emperor Old Man's existence.

"What happened? Why did little sister suddenly run off to the spirit vein? Doesn't she detest training? Why would she suddenly become so diligent?" Wang Chong was bewildered by the current turn of events.

If his little sister was willing to put in the effort, there would be no scion in the capital who would be a match for her, not even Marchioness Yi.

But life was truly a funny thing. A person of such great talent just had to be lazy with no aim in life. Of the two of them, his little sister seemed more like a wastrel then he did.

And yet, that very little sister was actually taking the initiative to learn martial arts?

"Not many people in the clan know about teacher, and besides, I've also warned them against saying anything. Did she happen to overhear it somehow? Or rather, did that lass notice those guards and follow them to the spirit vein?"

Thinking about his little sister's boisterous personality, Wang Chong couldn't help but feel a headache. The land around the spirit vein was still being developed, and many workers and guards of the clan had been sent there.

Given that a huge number of guards had been making to and fro trips from the residence to the spirit vein, it was indeed a possibility that his little sister might have noticed that something was amiss.

"...This is fine as well. In any case, Xiao Yao's talent is not bad. The only thing holding her back is her laziness. I might be unable to keep her in check, but teacher should be able to do so. This would do her some good as well." Changing his point of view, Wang Chong suddenly smiled.

His little sister's overwhelming strength was such that even Wang Chong, despite having reached Origin Energy Tier 7, still wasn't a match for her at all. However, his teacher, the Demonic Emperor Old Man, was different.

His little sister's little tricks would never work against his teacher. Besides, his teacher wasn't any good samaritan either. No matter what, he used to be one of the highest leaders of the unorthodox sects, and his name was one that evoked fear in that community.

Anyway, putting his little sister's affair aside for the moment, the second letter Wang Chong received came from Uncle Li Lin.

He had returned to the royal court recently. Despite his elevated standing as a member of the Imperial Army, his movements were still severely restricted and he couldn't remain outside for too long. As such, he had already handed the job of building the manor to someone else.
