Five days have gone by since Ren Wei started teaching Qin Rouxi the ice type cultivation technique.
It was safe to say that Qin Rouxi deserved the title of a genius. Also the special Physique deserved its name.
Within that five days, Qin Rouxi broke through to the 7th Level Body Refinement Realm.
Well, it was also because of her hardwork and the years of accumulation that she broke through in one go.
That morning, as usual, Ren Wei was basking in the warm morning sunlight in the courtyard, sitting on his relaxing recliner chair. From time to time, the pleasant smell of the flowers from the garden arrived at his door.
As he was relaxing, he heard someone pushing the door open. It was Qin Rouxi.
Walking up to him, she bowed with respect. "Teacher."
Without even opening his eyes, he nodded. "Umm."
"So, I still need to practice that today too?" She asked.
"Mmmm.." He softly nodded.
She respectfully retreated to the side and started practicing the cultivation technique Ren Wei taught her a few days ago.
The scene was peaceful with only the two of them in the courtyard. Birds and bees were active as the spring season was coming to an end.
However, that peaceful time would not be for long.
When the morning hour was coming to an end and the sun was coming high up, Ren Wei heard a knock on the door.
He opened his eyes and puzzledly looked towards the direction of the door. He wasn't expecting any visitors other than Qin Rouxi.
Thinking that maybe it was a servant. He said to Qin Rouxi. "Go."
"Yes." Qin Rouxi quickly stood up from her position and went to the door.
When she opened it, she found a woman who looked to be in her early 20s was standing in front of her.
For a moment, she was mesmerized by her beauty.
When the woman at the door smiled, Qin Rouxi fell into a deep dream.
However, that all broke down when she suddenly felt a chill on her back. It was Ren Wei's doing.
Early as she opened the door, he already saw the woman. But unlike Qin Rouxi, he quickly saw through the technique.
When Qin Rouxi came to her senses, she quickly distanced herself from the mysterious yet beautiful woman at the door. For a moment, she was filled with unprecedented fear. She only managed to calm down after realizing that her master was by her side. A powerful man who was not fearful of the most powerful man of the kingdom.
After distancing herself, she politely asked the woman at the door. "Hello. May I ask who you are and why are you here?"
The woman smiled and answered. "Rouxi, how can you forget me like that. I your aunt. Aunt Yue."
However, this time, when she smiled, Qin Rouxi didn't fall into the dream.
Inwardly, Qin Yue was surprised. But she quickly realized the reason. An invisible layer was protecting her.
When Qin Rouxi heard the woman's name, she immediately widened her eyes. "Aunt Yue!?"
Squinting her eyes, she looked at Qin Yue, up and down. Then, she let out a cheerful smile and ran up and hugged her. "Its really you!"
"Like a long lost sisters reuniting, the two hugged for like a whole 5 minute. Only after then did they stopped.
"So, how are you and are you back for real this time?" Qin Rouxi fired nonstop question as soon as they stopped hugging.
Smiling still, Qin Yue answered in a light yet soft voice. Her tone was not in a hurry. "Hha, yes. I am back for real this time. And I am here to see you."
"Ohhhh..."
"I heard from your dad that you got a teacher. So, I am here to see that." Qin Yue said to her.
Hearing that she was there to check her progress and how her teacher was teaching her, Qin Rouxi grabbed her by hand and dragged her to the courtyard.
At that time, Ren Wei was still leisurely sitting and leaning back on the recliner.
The two stood before him.
Cheerful as always, Qin Rouxi happily introduced Ren Wei to Qin Yue.
"This is my teacher and also my savior. His name is Ren Wei."
Hearing the name, Qin Yue thought to herself. 'One who commands respect through strength. What a bold and proud name.'
Hearing her introducing his name, Ren Wei opened his eyes.
And for the first time in her life, Qin Yue was distracted yet attracted to someone. Not because of handsomeness ,but rather to the beauty of the eyes.
Seeing the emareld blue eyes, she was fascinated for a moment. And instinctively, she used her charm technique.
In a split second, she felt a sharp piercing pain in her both eyes.
"Ahh!..." She quickly closed her eyes backed away from Ren Wei.
Caught off by the scene, Qin Rouxi hurriedly supported her. She was confused. "Aunt Yue, what happened? Are you Okey?" She hurriedly asked with concern I her tone.
"After some seconds, Qin Yue was back to normal. "I am fine. It was nothing." She replied.
Then, she turned to Ren Wei and apologized. "Sorry for the rudeness. I hope you can forgive me."
"Young lady, you should not always use your eyes whenever you want. Otherwise, you will suffer more than that. I am not saying that just for me, but also for others." Ren Wei patiently advised her like an old man teaching a younger generation.
As he lived a past life, he didn't care if anyone was older than him, he was going going address them on equal or just younger than him. And in the world of cultivation, higher Realm means you are the senior.
"Yes. Thank you for the advice." She bowed and thanked him.
But what Ren Wei said was also the truth.
Just because she was the eldest princess of the Red Lion Kingdom didn't mean that she could do whatever she want. There were some people that she could not afford to offend. Like those with more higher power than her.
"So, why are you here?" Ren Wei asked after dispersing the tension.
From the side, Qin Rouxi said. "Ohh, she is my aunt and she is here to see me. Also here to see you."
"See me? Why?" He asked confused. It was one thing that she was there to see her niece. But why would she wants to see him.
Qin Yue hurriedly replied when she saw the confusion. "Ohh. I am just here to see what kind of teacher was teaching my niece. Nothing more than that."
"Don't worry about it. I have already talked with your ancestors. They can confirm that I am indeed a real one, not a fake one." Ren Wei said as he closed his eyes and reclined back to his chair.
Qin Rouxi wanted to say something but she was stopped by Qin Yue. She shook her head indicating that should not disturb him anymore.
Inwardly, Qin Yue thought. 'I know that. I am just here to what kind of man you are.'
The duo, niece and aunt, left the courtyard leaving Ren Wei alone. They were going to catch up.
After the two left the manor, Ren Wei opened his eyes. He sighed. "Huh.... I thought I made it clearly when they asked me about. But it seems like they are still not giving up yet."
"Well, worst comes to worst I will just leave-"
As soon as the thought of leaving hit him, he instantly realized he still needed that information.
"Uhhh... if I can just get the direction of it." He took a deep sigh and went back to his usual leisure.
On the other hand, Qin Yue and Qin Rouxi were chatting together at the royal garden.
"So, how is your teacher? He isn't bad, is he?" Qin Yue asked.
"No. My teacher is good. Well, he doesn't treat me that well. But he isn't that bad." Qin Rouxi replied as she thought of the time when Ren Wei taught her.
"What do you mean not that well. He is bad right?" Qin Yue said as she was about to flared up.
"No no no." Rouxi quickly calmed her down and explained the situation.
It was only then did she cool down.
From what she explained, Yue realized situation.
It wasn't that Ren Wei was not treating her niece kindly. But rather he was just doing the simple teach and end type.
He would teach her the technique and that's it, end of the story. If she doesn't understand, he would explain and that's it.
Just a normal interaction.
After hearing that, Qin Yue thought. "Maybe he doesn't care at all?'
Seeing her blank look, Rouxi called out. "Aunt?"
"Huh? Ohh. I was just thinking of something. Now, tell me how you have been doing when I was not around." Qin Yue snapped back to reality and quickly changed the topic.
-----
By the time evening arrived, the two ended the conversation and Qin Rouxi left the royal garden.
After she left, someone appeared beside Qin Yue. In a deep voice, he asked. "How was it? Anything?"
It was the king himself, Qin Moyan.
"Nothing much." Qin Yue shook her head.
"Ohh!?" He was a bit surprised at her response.
"He is keeping a distance from her. So I can not get anything out of her. And also he was not affected by my charm technique." She said.
For the other parts, Moyan didn't show much reaction. But when he heard her saying that Ren Wei was not affected by her technique, he was surprised
"What!? He was not affected by your False Dream Pupils? How? That could even affect our grandfather. And we are talking about a high level Divine Domain Realm expert."
"It wasn't because of that. He has sacred pupils too. And more likely more powerful than mine." She recounted the scene of what happened when she tried to use her technique.
