Chapter 9 - Strange Calling! An Opportunity.

Li Xuan however didn't bother to go out and investigate at all. This presence just made him resolve to perfect the Destiny sword technique before anything else.

It was indeed not difficult for him to comprehend the technique as he had once trained in this technique in his previous life. At the moment he was at a higher realm and his insight deep.

But he couldn't just skip the process, as it was a transformation of the body. Only when the body was modified by the technique could he advance forward even reaching perfection.

With the current resources he could gain from the family, he knew it would be impossible to reach the perfection of this technique in a short period of time.

Through the technique, his body was changing, and becoming stronger. But this was a process and he estimated at his rate of acquiring resources, he might only reach perfection in three months.

Without much waste of time, he walked back in the house and went to take a shower.

At night while seated at the table, he discovered the whole family was present, even their busy father was present.

The smiles on their faces made him happy deep down.

"Son! That young lady we sent in the hospital was released. She wants to come over and offer her thanks for saving her." Mo Qingcheng finally brought this topic.

'Huh! How did mom get in contact with the hospital? No! How did she get in contact with that woman to begin with?' Li Xuan looked at her and felt something wasn't right.

It was just that she kept avoiding his gaze, as though guilty.

His suspicions were confirmed from her actions.

He couldn't help but sigh when he saw this. It seems like the lesson from before had been forgotten already.

He just didn't understand why she was bent on associating with that Aperture opening martial artist.

"Mom! You do what you want. I'll not participate though. I'm busy." He decided to let her do as she wished.

It was not that he was ignoring her, but since she had already made up her mind, he couldn't stop her.

It was beat to continue seeking some external help to speep up his practice.

Having made up his mind, Li Xuan went back to rest. He wanted to wake up early and move around the mountains around his family to see if he could gain some plants with use to his training.

He had no choice, and always felt uneasy around a martial artist without improving his abilities to be able to survive them.

Things were completely different from what he had initially thought. He never expected martial artists at tha Aperture Opening realm to be present at this stage in the world.

He even became doubtful of the Steller storm having yet started happening, but he still pushed the issue aside for the moment.

While Lu family life was continuing as normal, the world was already starting to change, but this was all unknown to them.

Waking up in the morning, Li Xuan kept feeling a strange calling but couldn't pinpoint it's source.

Walking to the table, Li Xuan saw that his mother was gazing his direction from time to time.

He didn't want to ask, as he could already guess what she wanted to say, but couldn't hold back anymore.

"Mom! What's up? Have you arranged another blind date with some old friend's daughter again? I've always been curious as to how many old friends exactly you have?" Li Xuan asked as he looked her way.

Mo Qingcheng, realizing she had been seen through coughed slightly, in embarrassment.

She had not expected to be discovered, but even so, she still has to keep her image.

"Off course I have a lot of friends. That out of the way, you should make sure to go to that date. Don't make me loose face." Mo Qingcheng really didn't let him down with her persistence.

"Okay! I've been staying at home for a while now and it is starting to get stuffy. Going out for a walk isn't a bad deal." He didn't have any problem. He had a feeling this calling he was feeling and this trip weren't separated in the slighest.

Everyone else was just watching on the sides, in amusement.

Each of them was very suspicious of how fast Li Xuan accepted Mo Qingcheng's arrangements. Little did they knew he had his own plans.

They failed to realize that Li Xuan's state of mind was at the fifth level and thus able to detect some hints of opportunities as long as no strong person was shielding them.

It was even more so, when the opportunities had a great impact on him.

Since he had the feeling, he had to do something about it.

It was clearly not smart to refuse an opportunity right before him.

It couldn't happen if he just stayed at home, it would even be more difficult to get closer to the chance.

Mo Qingcheng's arrangements might actually come in handy for him.

"Brother! Can I come along?" While Li Xuan was making his plans in his mind, his Li Haoli was already ready to go.

"Huh? You have nothing to do? I thought you should be at school today!" Li Xuan shifted his attention to his sister with a strange gauze.

It was also just at this moment that he realized that his other two sisters seemed interested in going out too.

But from what he understood about them, it wasn't for the date.

Clearly they had other reasons for wanting to go out.

He looked at his pocket and felt apprehensive.

'Are they eyeing my little money? I thought the old man gives them enough pocket money already!' he complained inwardly as he looked at their smiles.

"Okay! You can come but you have to be obedient or next time I won't be taking you out. Mom! You stay!" He didn't miss on Mo Qingcheng and shut her up faster than she could react.

She should go visit her husband instead of putting a lot of effort on him. He didn't say it out loud, but she could see that deep look in his eyes.

"Damn! Brat! You actually dare to ignore your mother after all the trouble I went through to introduce a good date to you!" She grumbled, but no one paid her any attention.

Who doesn't know Mo Qingcheng is shameless as one can be.

With all of this over, Li Xuan didn't bother to discuss issues any further.

"By the way, is uncle Wang around?" Li Xuan clearly had no plans of driving.

He had this feeling going out today would result in an opportunity, and thus he let Uncle Wang, the family driver take charge of the car.

"Son! Make sure you perform well on the date, don't make this old woman loose face!" Mo Qingcheng shamelessly added this.

It was just that this made Li Xuan stagger and turn back with a suspicious look as he observed all around.

"Where is the old woman?" He asked with a slight confused look, causing his sisters to burst out laughing.

Clearly they knew what he meant. Their mother had no demeanor of an adult in the slighest, and she dared to call herself an old woman.
