Chapter 24:

After Xiao Ren sleep, outside his room his Mother and Father was talking "It is because of you that Ren was training too much" Liu Bing said while staring at Xiao Feng before she continued "Look even Xi er is also training too much"

"Hey, I just said to Ren to be prepared for the Three Cities Hunting Competition, It's not my fault besides if Ren really want to become strong he also needs to work hard and that's what his doing while for that little lass It's okay for her to train more and it seems she is maturing now" Xiao Feng countered knowing that if Liu Bing gets angry at him he will get a hard time for this week.

"Humph" Liu Bing snorted before taking the plate in the table to wash it. After doing this Liu Bing then walk towards their room with Xiao Feng in tow who was thinking about their happiness in their room, but he was bound to be disappointed as like what he was fearing earlier will come true starting today till next week.

...

The next morning after Xiao Ren woke up he didn't immediately go to the mountain because he was caught by Xiao Xi just when he was about to out and train.

Xiao Xi was walking ahead of Xiao Ren on the way but Xiao Ren managed to know where Xiao Xi was bringing him "Xiao Xi It's Sister Xing er's courtyard where going right? you two are already training why do you have to take me with you?" Xiao Ren asked Xiao Xi while still following her.

"It's because you've promised that you are going to help me in training but I think you forgot about it because you were busy this past few days" Xiao Xi replied and turned her head back to look at Xiao Ren and her eyes started to moist "you're going to fulfill your promise today right?" Xiao Xi continued with her tears gathering ready to be released.

Xiao Ren was startled by her answers and he remembers his promise that he will help her then Xiao Ren suddenly saw the tears gathering at Xiao Xi's eyes "Of course I'm going to train with you now haha... let's go I already want to train with you" Xiao Ren said before catching up to Xiao Xi and pulled her hands to walk faster.

Seeing his big brother panicked and hearing his words Xiao Xi turned her face to the side to not make Xiao Ren see her face that now stop crying and has a brightest smile it had today while letting him pulled her hands. If Xiao Ren can see Xiao Xi's face he must not have known whether he should cry or laugh as he was baited by the crying face of Xiao Xi.

After a while Xiao Ren and Xiao Xi arrived at the house of their first uncle and saw a female servant that was cleaning in the front "Uhmm were here to go to Sister Xing er's courtyard" Xiao Xi said to the female servant.

"Ohh young miss Xi and young master welcome, young miss is in her courtyard I will call another servant to lead you there" the female servant said before he started walking towards the door.

The female servant didn't walk to far before she heard Xiao Xi's word "Ohh it's okay we can arrive there on our own, you don't need to call a servant" Xiao Xi said before turning her head towards Xiao Ren and she continued "Let's go big brother Ren" to which Xiao Ren just nodded and smiled at the servant that was saying 'It was okay'.

It didn't take a long time for Xiao Ren and Xiao Xi to arrive at the courtyard and when they didn't saw Xiao Xing er they guess that she must still tin the room so the two just sat in the stone chair. After the two sat down "Uhmm big brother Ren, I didn't get to ask earlier but what is that thing on your back?" Xiao Xi asked curiously while pointing her index finger to the Black Myrtle Sword that was wrapped in the cloth in Xiao Ren's back.

"Ohh this It was a... necessary item for my training" Xiao Ren said as he take the sword from his back before holding it with his hands.

Xiao Xi blink her eyes and stare at the item wrapped in clothes curiously "big brother can I see it?" Xiao Xi said turning her head to look to Xiao Ren from the item that Xiao Ren was holding.

"Uhmm well you can see it when we started training so let's not hahaha" Xiao Ren said with a laugh to tease her cute little sister. Hearing her big brother's word Xiao Xi just pouted her cute little lips making her looked more adorable.

Xiao Ren and Xiao Xi waited for a few minutes before the door in the room opened before it let out Xiao Xing er in her usual red dress.

After Xiao Xing er go out from her room he instantly saw Xiao Ren and Xiao Xi so she begun to walk towards the two "So Xiao Ren is also here today huh" Xiao Xing er said while eyeing Xiao Ren.

Feeling Xiao Xing er's gaze, Xiao Ren started getting fidgety and was thinking about changing the topic when Xiao Xi was the first to reply "Yes, sister Xing er I invited him because he promised to help me train so here he is" hearing her little sister answer first Xiao Ren thought 'nice little girl hehe I really love you girl, good job'

Xiao Xi and Xiao Xing er then continue to talk that Xiao Xing er forgot about Xiao Ren and that topic. After talking for a while "Uhmm I think we should start training" Xiao Xing er said while smiling at Xiao Xi before looking at Xiao Ren.

"Yes hehe" Xiao Xi happily replied before walking to the center "Big brother let's spar, but you should only used a 4th layer body tempering realm strength okay" Xiao Xi said while looking at Xiao Ren.

"ehh why do we need to spar" Xiao Ren said with dumbfounded look on his face.

"I want to show you that I am already at initial mastery in the palm technique I use in the test and my defense technique is also close to initial mastery so we need to fight" Xiao Xi said excitedly.

"Uhh, alright" Xiao Ren said before walking towards Xiao Xi before stopping a meter away from her. then Xiao Ren and Xiao Xi start sparring Xiao Ren was having an easy time while Xiao Xi was already perspiring and after a few dozens exchange "Arghhh big brother you're a bully wahh" Xiao Xi said irritated before she started throwing her tantrum as she can't even hit Xiao Ren in their spar.

"Hahaha hey you can't call me a bully and just let you hit me, but you really improved huh I'm proud of you" Xiao Ren said with a warm smile on his face while staring at Xiao Xi.

After hearing his words Xiao Xi stop her tantrum. Meanwhile when Xiao Xing er saw they end their sparring, she said "Then let us spar now Xiao Ren"

"Ohh okay hahah" Xiao Ren reply

"But don't you hold back or else this time I will kick your ass" Xiao Xing er said while looking at Xiao Ren "Here I come" Xiao Xing er said before she attack with her full strength and let out the aura stronger than when they last fought in the test.

"8th layer body tempering?" Xiao Ren said with a surprise tone before saying with a smile "then Sister Xing er I'm sorry if I hurt you"

BANG!

Xiao Ren and Xiao Xing er both take a step back when their fist and palm clash after stabilizing their footing Xiao Ren said "Sister Xing er it's my first time using this" after finishing his words Xiao Ren's speed then got more faster and his movement even bring a raging wind on his wake.

"Heh, don't think that you're the only one who got a movement technique with initial mastery" Xiao Xing er replied before her body move with a fluid movement.

Xiao Ren and Xiao Xing er exchange many times before they stop and concluded that it was a draw.

"haaa haaa Sister Xing er is really strong" Xiao Ren said with a smile while still panting.

"Well haaa 'gulp' you're improving to fast I thought you may still need a month to breakthrough to 8th layer but I guess I'm wrong" Xiao Xing er said while staring at Xiao Ren with shock.

After saying this Xiao Ren and Xiao Xing er rest while Xiao Xi brought them a drink before asking "big brother please can you now let me see what is that thing you bring"

"well okay I guess it's time for you to see it hahah I guess Sister Xing er may also want to see it haha" Xiao Ren said before standing up and pick the sword that was wrapped in cloth.
