"Secluded" Cultivation

After Yang Kai left it was just Ah Tao and Xiu Xiang, their son, Xiu Liang and their new born Xiu Ding Ai. There was a moment of silence until a servant came in. It was the family's butler and he was holding something. Though he didn't understand the situation much since he wasn't there. He had been in seclusion and only came out just now. 

"Oh, you've made some progress this time. Good. My baby girl is born, come and see her." Xiu Xiang said, motioning for the butler.

"She is quite adorable. She is quite lucky to live in such a family. Doting parents and a responsible big brother in Young master, Xiu Liang and a lover big sister in the young miss, Xiu Che. Not to mention the young man she married." He said then remembering the item in his hands. "When I exited seclusion this was waiting for me. I haven't read it yet but perhaps it's something I should." He said, activating his power to read the jade. Then he looked at his mistress and scowled. "It seems the Madam has angered the Young Master quite significantly. He seems to be even more upset that you made his loving wives cry like that." The butler mentioned, also quite angry himself. 

"I didn't mean to, I just wanted to know how his father and him had such a relationship. I… I… never wanted to anger him or cause trouble." Ah Tao said, worried about what is going to come next. 

"Ah Tao, this may be what you say now but the words you used, and the way you did this… Really don't line up. I can't defend what you did. But I can help to remedy the problem. I know that even I would have been quite angry myself if someone threatened me the way you did to him. And he is the reason our family is even here to this day. I'm sure that there is room for forgiveness though." Xiu Xiang said, making sure to highlight the problem she had unilaterally created. 

"There is indeed a way for the Young Master to let this go. And that is time to settle and a proper apology. From this, I think he considered the fact that the Madam was not in the right state of mind when she made her remarks. Otherwise, I doubt even I would be so lenient. Especially if I had as much influence as he does. It's best not to slap his face. He already told me what the apology he wished for was. But it is not something I could say. So the madam will have to read it for herself." The Butler said, allowing Ah Tao to see it. 

Ah Tao read it and then quickly handed it back. And coddled her newborn with a great big happy smile. "He really did think about such things and was all in that angry state. I'll have to make sure to thank him properly for such considerations." She said, thankful. 

Everyone else in the room scrambled to read the letter as well. Each coming to the conclusion that "The Young master is truly magnanimous isn't he." The Butler chuckled. 

"Indeed." Xiu Xiang and Xiu Liang said in unison. 

~~Void Temple~~

A giant bolt of lightning struck down revealing my form to everyone there. I was now at the Disciples sparing platforms. And I made sure to put on the smile of a perfect Young Master like I must. Miao Fei Ping was still in seclusion at the moment and I knew why. So someone else took the lead. It was Deacon Tang Wen. 

"Young master has returned, I'm afraid that Temple Master Miao Fei Ping is not currently available at the moment. So please allow me to both welcome and congratulate you." Deacon Tang Wen said, with a greeting Salute. 

"This is fine, I already know that Miao Fei Ping is trying to break through. My father should come and speak with him soon. As for my breakthrough, there is no need for congratulations. I only require a Best quality Stone Room. My father wants me to seclude myself here, instead of at my home I built in the forest. And there are many reasons why this is the case. So I really couldn't refuse." I explained, as I cooled my anger. 

"Hmm, the best quality… I'm afraid… Those rooms have been filled. So it is not easy to do so. And the earliest one to open won't be for a month." Tang Wen said, with a bead of sweat appearing on his face. "This young man could have defeated me while he was a peak origin King. Just how much stronger is he now?" He thought. 

"Hmm… I see, then it can't be helped." I said jumping up onto one of the unused Sparring platforms. "Then I'll use this for the time being." I continued, as I tapped the platform with my foot. "It should be sturdy enough I guess. Eh, not that matters much. There are few things in the Void World that can handle me." I said stretching. 

"May I ask the Young master Leiji what he plans to do on the platform here?" Tang Wen asked, incredibly nervous. 

"Oh, I'm going to start. You said there is a whole month right? It would be wrong to waste such a valuable commodity such as that. So I'll start cultivating here. If someone has questions about the Dao of thunder, time or space they may watch. And see if they learn a thing or two. Other than that I'd appreciate it if you don't disturb me." I said, and then activated my strength that made others shutter in shock.

"So… so this is the strength of the Young Master. No wonder I felt like an ant in comparison. He truly is a freakishly powerful man." Tang Wen thought. "Alright everyone let us give the Young Master some space. We will…" He continued. 

"Feel free to continue practice on the other platforms. You will have giant gains. I only request that you don't come onto my platform." I added in quickly. 

"Oh, in that case everyone may continue as they were." Tang Wen said and then left. "I have to find myself a sparring partner now as well. Only big things can get me anywhere." He thought.
