1080. I am worried about him.
Hearing Xun'er's humble words, Xiao Yan, unusually, continued to argue, "Speaking of the past, when wasn't it always you who was stronger than me? It's just that you, girl, didn't want to show it to others."
Xiao Yan was well aware that Xun'er was a prodigy, a possessor of divine bloodline from the ancient clan. Her cultivation speed was naturally not slow; it was only because of his feigned death that Xun'er's cultivation stagnated. However, the ancient clan had invested heavily in her, and those healing treasures were essentially accumulating strength for Xun'er. Only after she successfully resolved her bloodline issue and advanced to the Dou Sheng realm did she truly unleash her cultivation talent.
The statement that cultivating enough divine bloodlines can lead to becoming a Dou Di is absolutely true.
Xun'er tilted her head, feigning surprise, and said, "Really? I don't remember at all. Sister Little Fairy Doctor has already sent a message, Brother Xiao Yan, hurry up and go obey orders, hehe..."
……
Thunder Clan, Thunder Realm.
In the misty mountains.
Jiang Yunyan sat on the ground, her most relied-upon sword quietly hovering in front of her. It showed no sharpness, but when the bamboo leaves around her fluttered down, they were cut in half by an invisible force the moment they approached the sword.
At the same time, as Jiang Yunyan's fighting spirit surged, all the clouds and mist around her seemed to be churning.
"Senior sister, I'm back!"
Lei Qingyue walked over to Jiang Yunyan, pulled over a specially made, huge rattan chair, and sat down without any hesitation. At the same time, he used his fighting spirit to summon several greenish-blue pies in his hand. He didn't care about the decorum of a Dou Sheng powerhouse and grabbed one, taking a bite.
"Where is Jingxiao?" Jiang Yunyan asked slowly, opening her eyes.
Lei Qingyue smiled and said, "I was afraid you would punish him, so I'm here to investigate for him first."
Upon hearing this reason, Jiang Yunyan's usually calm and composed face revealed a rare smile.
"I tested his strength on the way back. He's a two-star Dou Sheng in the early stage. The improvement is indeed significant, but he's probably still at a disadvantage compared to Lei Dong," Lei Qingyue murmured.
Jiang Yunyan was overjoyed upon hearing this news, her eyebrows slightly furrowed: "And what about the strange fire I prepared for him?"
"There's a chance, but I think it's only about 30%." Lei Qingyue took a bite of a pie, but he didn't seem that happy.
Jiang Yunyan then chimed in to defend Lei Jingxiao, saying, "After all, Jingxiao is still quite young, and the resources available are relatively limited, so it's normal for him to lag behind. But the level he's reached in his cultivation is already quite impressive."
Lei Qingyue nodded in approval: "Indeed outstanding, and worthy of his quasi-divine bloodline."
Jiang Yunyan ended her cultivation, gracefully rose from the ground, turned back to look at Lei Qingyue's relaxed demeanor, and gave him a somewhat disgruntled glare: "It's all those old guys' fault. Give me some more time, and I believe Jingxiao will be absolutely fine!"
"Senior sister, can you stop looking at me like that? This decision wasn't mine."
Lei Qingyue sensed Jiang Yunyan's dissatisfaction and helplessly spread his hands: "Besides, you know the cause and effect of this matter. No one was genuinely trying to make things difficult for Jingxiao; they just happened to run into him. And regardless of whether he succeeds or not, with our positions, we can always protect him."
Jiang Yunyan didn't refute Lei Qingyue's words. She had also lived in the Lei Clan for hundreds of years and was very clear about the operating logic of this Dou Di descendant family. She also knew that they were not actually wrong. If a Dou Di descendant family continued to practice nepotism, it would only lead to its downfall. Every Dou Di family adhered to the principle of the most capable person holding the highest position.
"What about his personality? Do you think it has changed?"
After Lei Qingyue finished the last pie, he clapped his hands, shook his head, and said, "There has been progress, but not much change. However, from the bottom of my heart, I prefer him the way he is now."
Upon hearing this answer, Jiang Yunyan's eyes showed even more conflict, as if two thoughts were constantly battling within her, preventing her from calming down.
"I know, and I prefer it this way too, but I can't stop worrying about him. Originally, I had Xiao Yan take him along so that he could experience the setbacks of the outside world. Only by going through everything can he truly grow up."
Upon hearing this, Lei Qingyue chimed in, "Unexpectedly, Xiao Yan, whom I casually entrusted with this task, turned out to be exceptionally reliable. Not only did he not take advantage of or ignore him, but he also protected Jingxiao just like you."
When it comes to this, both Jiang Yunyan and Lei Qingyue felt helpless. They couldn't very well criticize Xiao Yan for being too good to Lei Jingxiao.
"But I always feel sorry for my sister. I neither protected her well nor truly nurtured Jingxiao..."
Lei Qingyue keenly sensed the rare fear and guilt in Jiang Yunyan's heart. He walked to her side, gently supported her, and whispered comfortingly, "Senior Sister, no matter who says what, you've already done very well in this matter. Jingxiao has his own path to walk, and I think this trip will definitely be very helpful to him. He's gained enough sincere friends and met someone he likes. Regardless of whether he succeeds or not, the two of us will surely be able to provide him with a fulfilling life..."
Jiang Yunyan stretched out a hand and rubbed her smooth forehead, saying in a very low voice, "The current situation on the mainland always worries me. I hope it can reach a point where I can truly feel at ease."
Only then did Lei Qingyue truly smile: "Senior Sister, you are a genuine five-star Dou Sheng. To put your mind at ease, that kid will probably need to work hard for another hundred years."
Just then, Lei Jingxiao's voice came.
"Auntie, I'm home!"
Upon hearing this voice, Jiang Yunyan trembled as if by reflex and immediately separated from Lei Qingyue.
The worry on his face for Lei Jingxiao vanished instantly, replaced by a stern expression. He turned to look at Lei Jingxiao, his eyes filled with scrutiny.
Lei Jingxiao had always been most afraid of Jiang Yunyan's gaze since he was a child. Even though he had reached the level of a two-star Dou Sheng, he couldn't help but feel a sense of fear.
He quickly showed off his achievements: "Auntie, I didn't slack off! I'm already a two-star Dou Sheng!"
"So what?" Jiang Yunyan's voice seemed devoid of any emotion. Only Lei Qingyue, standing to the side, secretly chuckled at the stark contrast in Jiang Yunyan's demeanor.
"Your elder brother, Xiao Yan, was far weaker than you when he first met you. How about now?"
Compared to anyone else, Lei Jingxiao was confident. But with Xiao Yan, he had no desire to compete with him, only heartfelt admiration for him.
"Big Brother is different, he's practically inhuman!" Lei Jingxiao said, then added, "He's not even a magical beast, he's too freakish!"
"Ah, speaking of my older brother, he asked me to give this to you."
Lei Jingxiao took out a very exquisite and precious wooden box. Jiang Yunyan took it and saw that there was a Bodhi seed inside.
