Chapter 733: Family

“I’m in the field.”

“Oh.”

Hearing Yu Fang’s weak answer, Chu Zhongping sighed secretly, shook his head, and pushed open the door.

As soon as he went out, he heard a few consecutive whooshes of wind beside him.

He turned around and saw that Chu Xiaoxi was punching the air in front of her continuously.

Every punch could bring about a biting cold wind and several drops of sweat.

At this moment, the northern hemisphere of the Purple Cloud Planet was in the middle of a bitter winter. Chu Xiaoxi was only wearing a tight sports vest and sports shorts, revealing her beautiful and healthy limbs. Her body was steaming and filled with sweat. Even the top of her head was steaming, looking extremely energetic.

However, there was no smile on her face. Her expression was serious, and her gaze was extremely firm, as if there was an enemy in front of her. She was extremely focused.

Chu Zhongping glanced at her, and the worry on his face deepened.

Ever since the news of Chu Nan’s death spread, Xiaoxi had never gone to school again. Apart from eating and sleeping every day, she continuously practiced her fist technique.

Chu Zhongping had once persuaded her to go to school obediently. Life had to continue, but Chu Xiaoxi ignored him completely.

It was as if there was only fist practice left in her life.

Chu Zhongping looked up at the sky and discovered that the star had just risen.

From Chu Xiaoxi’s current appearance, she had probably woken up and started cultivating before dawn.

Chu Zhongping watched Chu Xiaoxi practice for a while. He thought for a moment and finally could not help but shout.

“Xiaoxi—”

Chu Xiaoxi threw a punch, and the air in front of her shook. A crisp air explosion sounded, and finally, a smile appeared on her usually wooden face.

Hearing her father’s call, she stopped and walked over with a calm pace that was completely different from her usual self.

“Dad, what’s the matter?”

Chu Zhongping sized up Chu Xiaoxi and sighed in his mind. He took a deep breath and tried his best to maintain his calm as he asked, “The school asked me again yesterday. You’ve already skipped class for more than a month. If you still don’t go to class, the school will consider it your automatic withdrawal. You…”

“I’m not going.” Before Chu Zhongping could finish, Chu Xiaoxi had already shook her head, “Just consider it as me dropping out. Dad, I happen to want to discuss it with you. I want to go to school elsewhere.”

“Other places? What school?” Chu Zhongping was stunned.

“I want to go to the martial arts academy or study in the martial arts hall,” Chu Xiaoxi said. “I’ve already contacted the Flowing Cloud Martial Arts Hall. If there’s no suitable martial arts academy to accept, I’ll go to them.”

“You…” Chu Zhongping looked at Chu Xiaoxi in surprise, “You want to focus on learning martial arts?”

After asking, Chu Zhongping instantly felt relieved.

In the past month, Chu Xiaoxi had been so focused on practicing her fist every day. Clearly, she had long made up her mind. It was not surprising for her to make such a request now.

“Yes.” Chu Xiaoxi nodded with a serious expression, “Dad, I’ve already decided. I must become stronger, very strong, much stronger than the Heaven Control Martial Artist who killed my brother. Then, I’ll kill him and personally take revenge for him.”

“But…” Chu Zhongping opened his mouth and wanted to say that he was a super expert at the Heaven Control Realm. It was easier said than done to kill him. Moreover, he had just started practicing martial arts and was much later than Chu Nan. How could he be sure that he would become such a powerful martial artist in the future?

However, when the words reached his mouth, they finally turned into a sigh.

“Alright… if you’ve already decided, go. However, I feel that… instead of going to a martial arts academy so far away from home, it’s better to go to the Flowing Cloud Martial Arts Hall. At the very least, it’s closer to home. Moreover, we know the hall master of the Flowing Cloud Martial Arts Hall. It’s convenient for you to learn anything, right?”

“No, I’m only considering where can I improve the fastest now. I’ve already decided that I’ll try to register for Star Cloud Academy. I even want to go over and ask Dong Fang to introduce me to a good master. I think if I ask him, he should help me.”

Chu Zhongping smiled bitterly.

“Since you’ve already decided, we’ll do as you say. However…” Chu Zhongping sighed again. He raised his hand and pressed down on Chu Xiaoxi’s shoulder. His lips trembled twice as he said softly, “You… remember, we’ve already lost Chu Nan. We don’t want to lose you, our daughter. Do you understand?”

Chu Xiaoxi’s eyes immediately turned red, but she forcefully endured it and nodded.

“Don’t worry, Dad. I won’t.”

Chu Zhongping sighed and shook his head. He turned around and walked towards the farm.

Chu Xiaoxi looked at her father’s back. He seemed to have aged at least 20 years in the past month. She was silent for a moment and gritted her teeth.

Just as she was about to turn around and continue cultivating, a communication notification suddenly sounded from the personal terminal on her wrist.

Chu Xiaoxi was immediately stunned.

Ever since her brother died, she had almost cut off all communication with the outside world.

At first, many people wanted to contact her, but because she had made a special setting on her personal terminal, they could not connect.

However, the notification that sounded now clearly indicated that this communication came from a special private communication channel that only one person knew.

This person was Chu Nan.

“No… no way…”

Chu Xiaoxi’s body could not help but tremble twice. She lowered her head to look at her wrist with a trace of anticipation, but she was instantly disappointed.

The person who sent the message was clearly an unfamiliar terminal. She definitely did not have any impression of it.

“As expected, it’s not…”

Chu Xiaoxi sighed in her mind. She raised her hand and was about to turn off the communication that someone must have unintentionally dialed. However, she immediately recalled that this private channel had been specially set by her. Even if others unintentionally found this personal number, it was impossible for them to pass the second-level verification.

Only one person could make the communication reflect the personal terminal on her wrist!

Thinking of this, Chu Xiaoxi’s right hand that was reaching for her personal terminal involuntarily trembled.

After two seconds, her finger finally pressed the option to answer the call.

The virtual screen of his personal terminal opened, and the scene opposite him gradually appeared.

Chu Xiaoxi felt her heart almost reach her throat. Her heart was filled with nervousness and anticipation that she had never felt in her life.

The scene gradually became clear. A familiar face of Chu Xiaoxi appeared on the virtual screen and looked over with a smile.

When she saw this face, Chu Xiaoxi immediately felt as if her entire heart had exploded. She was instantly filled with endless surprise, but two streams of hot tears immediately surged out of her large eyes, mixed with the hot sweat on her face.

She covered her face with both hands and widened her eyes to look at the familiar smile on the virtual screen. After a long time, a whimpering shout finally jumped out of her throat.

“Brother…”
