Chapter 350: An Awkward Situation

With the guidance of Xiao Tianfan, Ling Chuxi successfully made it out of the mountain.

“By the way, your finger gesture just now was very powerful. It is a bit similar to the Turning Cloud Gesture of our Xiao Family,” Xiao Tianfan suddenly said as they were walking.

Ling Chuxi’s heart dropped with a ‘clunk’. Learning the ancestral secret of others was a great taboo. Ling Chuxi was wondering how to deceive him when Xiao Tianfan continued, “It’s a lot more mysterious than the Xiao Family’s Turning Cloud Gesture though. If Miss Ling doesn’t mind, I would like to learn it from you if I get the opportunity.”

Xiao Tianfan’s expression was very sincere, and she knew that he had no hidden intentions. Ling Chuxi was relieved.

It was not odd either since Ling Chuxi’s Turning Cloud Gesture had been learnt in secret, and it was very different from the Xiao Family’s Turning Cloud Gesture. Furthermore, both her control over Battle Qi and the might of her Battle Qi far surpassed the power of the Turning Cloud Gesture of the Xiao Family. It was perfectly normal if he could not recognize it.

“Alright then. I was also looking for an opportunity to learn from you too.” It was exactly what Ling Chuxi had been hoping for. The formidability of the Turning Cloud Gesture was quite good, but it did have its weaknesses. Perhaps if she could engage in more fights with Xiao Tianfan, she could find the reason for its weakness and then improve it from there.

“Great.” Xiao Tianfan nodded his head, pleased.

“What was going on with that Shocking Thunder Beast just now?” Ling Chuxi asked curiously.

“Ah, that’s quite a long story.” Xiao Tianfan was clearly reluctant to explain. He gave her a bitter smile and sighed.

Seeing that he was unwilling to talk about it, Ling Chuxi also did not question him further.

Not long after that, both of them walked out of the mountain range. Up ahead was Jian Wen City. It was a small city, but it appeared to be prosperous and abundant. There were a lot of business vendors bustling about.

Xiao Tianfan led Ling Chuxi directly to the Xiao Residence.

“Second elder cousin brother, I heard that you went to look for a way to cure Grandfather. Why are you back so fast, and what have you done to yourself? Hmph!” Upon entering the courtyard, an eighteen or nineteen year old maiden came over and spoke sarcastically.

The young maiden had beautiful, delicate features, but anyone could hear the barbs and harshness in her words. Noticing Xiao Tianfan’s disheveled condition, her expression turned even more mocking.

Xiao Tianfan glanced at her indifferently and did not say anything.

“Hmph, all that talk about finding a way to save Grandfather, but you end up bringing a woman back instead.” The young girl did not let her off either, jealous of Ling Chuxi’s stunning appearance.

“This is my friend.” Xiao Tianfan could not resist providing an explanation.

“Grandfather’s illness is severe and everyone in the family is worried to death, yet you still have the gall to bring a woman back ?” The young girl scoffed in disdain as if she did not hear what he had said earlier.

“Xiao Tianwen!” Xiao Tianfan raised his voice, his expression icy.

The young girl’s expression changed and she instinctively took a step backwards, but recovered and raised her head arrogantly. “What, do you dare hit me again? Do you think you’re so great just because you reached the realm of Great Fulfilment? You went to Nan Xia Country but ended up being defeated by a young maiden with a single finger. Don’t think I don’t know anything. You were pretending to be powerful in front of us, but you are still just useless!”

The young girl’s words were merciless, and they pierced Xiao Tianfan’s sore spot. Xiao Tianfan’s face paled.

Ling Chuxi also felt quite awkward. If it was someone else it would not matter, but she was actually the culprit that had defeated Xiao Tianfan with one finger. Looking at Xiao Tianfan’s similarly awkward expression, Ling Chuxi did not know if she should say anything.

“Tianwen, stop making a fuss.” A stern, majestic voice rang out suddenly and a middle-aged man walked over.
