I am a high-level martial arts master.

Within the Kingdom of Ji, a flash of white light appeared.

Wei Wanxi's figure appeared gracefully in a courtyard.

As the figure appeared, information flowed like a waterfall in front of the girl, summarizing the results of this battle.

But at that moment, she was in no mood to pay attention to the contents.

"What was I even saying at the end?!"

Wei Wanxi suddenly raised her hand to cover her burning cheeks; her fingertips were icy cold, but she couldn't suppress the intense shame.

She almost thought she had been driven crazy by that lecherous man!

If you're really capable, then go ahead and do it!

This statement is tantamount to inviting the other person to come...

Come and rub yourself.

I was actually influenced by that scoundrel to utter such lewd words!

A blush rose to Wei Wanxi's face. Back then, Ye Li had only slapped her once, yet he had forced himself on her for a whole night.

They're so rude these days, they're practically bullies!

Realizing something was wrong, she shook her head vigorously, trying to clear her mind.

With this thought, the effects of [Dao Heart Clarity] began to emerge, preparing to suppress and fade Wei Wanxi's anger, murderous intent, and shame. But before that could happen, Wei Wanxi actively stopped the process!

The term "Dao Xin Tong Ming" (meaning "enlightened mind") was born alongside Wei Wanxi's soul.

Therefore, it is natural that they can be controlled by Wei Wanxi.

Normally, when the mind is clear and focused, it automatically eliminates and neutralizes irrelevant thoughts.

Originally, after his return, under the effect of [Dao Heart Clarity], Ye Li would have gradually faded from Wei Wanxi's memory like an unrelated passerby.

In the end, we'll forget each other in the vast world and see each other as strangers who met by chance.

But now, with Ye Li's astonishing grab before leaving.

The immense humiliation, shame, and murderous intent were something Wei Wanxi absolutely could not ignore.

If we were to eliminate this matter, we might never be able to avenge this attack!

【Dao Xin Tong Ming】: This emotional memory is high-risk. Should we abandon the detection and add it to the whitelist?

Wei Wanxi: Ignore the risks!! Abandon the detection and removal! Add to the whitelist!

With all emotional memories of Ye Li added to the whitelist, [Dao Xin Tong Ming] will no longer be able to directly bypass Wei Wanxi to clear this information.

"I will avenge this humiliation!"

"We can only completely forget about him after we've at least beheaded that little thief!"

After defeating the petty thief, I will not only kill him, but before that, I will stomp on his face and crush it mercilessly, to subject him to even more extreme humiliation!

Wei Wanxi forced herself to calm down, preventing her thoughts from being affected by external things, and calmed her mind.

She gripped the sword hilt tightly, thinking to herself:

"Once I reach the Innate Realm, I can apply for a designated mission, at which point I can return to the Xia Kingdom."

"Two years! No! Reach the Innate Realm within one year, then return to Xia Kingdom and personally kill that little thief!"

One year to progress from the mid-acquired stage to the innate stage!

If this decision were to be revealed, it would probably scare a lot of people to death.

For an ordinary person, breaking through a small stage of acquired skills might take ten years, but the girl was absolutely confident in her own talent. As this thought crossed her mind, Wei Wanxi suddenly felt something was amiss.

Why didn't my [Dao Xin Tong Ming] give me any warning when I was captured?

Before this, she thought that Duhe and his group had some kind of object or term that could block perception.

But now it seems the problem lies with that petty thief!

Thinking of this, the girl gritted her teeth in anger again, wishing she could go back and kill him immediately.

On the other side, Ye Li felt refreshed after resolving a grand ambition.

I clenched my fist, savoring the lingering fragrance on my palm. Indeed, labor is the most glorious thing!

The rewards of one's own hard work are always more gratifying than unexpected windfalls; this time, I truly had a great time!

"But we still need to be careful..."

Ye Li imagined the girl's shameful and indignant state at the end.

In order to meet again next time, I must do my best to cultivate myself.

In the blink of an eye, the information on the panel came into view.

Name: Ye Li

Realm: Early Stage of Acquired (55/126 Bones)

Cultivation techniques (techniques perfected to the point of perfection are omitted):

"Azure Dragon Crossing Calamity Technique Level 2 (0/500)" [Insufficient Cultivation Level]

"Yi Sui Jing (390/500)"

Entry: [Dazzling Colors - World-Shaking Wisdom] [Blue - Gift of Body Tempering] [Green - Swiftness] +4 [White - Yang Furnace] [White - Concealment] [White - Inspiration] [White - Dragon Body] [White - Strongman] +21

Ye Li had a clear plan for the future.

For now, we will temporarily abandon the development of the bone orifices and instead focus on practicing the "Yi Sui Jing".

Once you've mastered this technique to its fullest potential, a white affix will appear that can increase your cultivation speed.

By collecting all the cultivation techniques in Guangming, I can obtain more white and green entries.

Then these attributes are added to [Swiftness] and [Dragon Body].

After all, with Ye Li's current cultivation talent, it would take him about a day and a half to break through a single bone aperture.

Even without eating, drinking, or sleeping, it would take almost a year to fully achieve the acquired perfection, and that's the fastest speed if you give up other cultivation methods.

"However, Guangming... I'm afraid he can't stay long."

Ye Li sighed inwardly as he recalled what Wei Wanxi had said about destiny.

The will of Heaven was perfectly demonstrated; wherever he went, the environment became unfavorable.

He is now thankful that he managed to send his uncle and aunt's family out of Guangming in time, so that they were not affected by this blood corpse disaster.

If we insist on staying in Guangming for a long time, there is a high possibility that something unexpected will happen again.

Composing himself, Ye Li returned to the courtyard.

Although Ye Li won the fight against Wei Wanxi, he was injured in several places.

Upon seeing Ye Li return, Jiang Xiyue's gaze quickly swept over the several new tears in his robes and the faint bloodstains seeping through:

"Didn't we agree to escort Miss Wei away? How... how did they suddenly start fighting? And why is she so badly injured?"

"Haha, they're just some minor cuts and bruises."

Facing the girl, Ye Li looked somewhat embarrassed: "I brought this trouble upon myself."

Jiang Xiyue clearly didn't believe it was that simple; she could feel the sharpness of the sword energy from afar.

But she didn't delve into it. She simply pursed her lips and said softly, "Sit down first. The wound needs to be treated promptly."

Without a word, she pulled Ye Li to sit down on the stone bench in the courtyard, and with a grin, she found some ointment and said:

"This time, consider it me helping you heal your wounds."

When the topic of healing came up, a blush rose on the girl's face; she would never forget that memory.

Lifting Ye Li's sleeve, just as Ye Li had said, it was only a minor scratch that would heal the next day.

Seeing that Ye Li was alright, the girl secretly breathed a sigh of relief. And when she thought about how Wei Wanxi had completely left Guangming, she was even more secretly happy.

"As Chief Zheng just said, the barrier separating the inside from the outside has been broken."

Jiang Xiyue's tone held a hint of reluctance:

"My parents already know the information I sent to the capital. They are very concerned about the destruction of Guangming Baibaoge and the death of Elder Qian... They sent a message urging me to return to the capital as soon as possible."

Ye Li nodded. He had already vaguely guessed that the other party was of noble status, so it was not surprising that there was some kind of remote communication involved.

"Come to think of it, after knowing each other for so long, we still don't know who you are?"

Ye Li sat on the stone bench, feeling the girl's slender fingertips gently applying ointment to the wound.

"I am the third daughter of Jiang Chengyu, the head of the Hundred Treasures Pavilion. I have two older brothers," Jiang Xiyue said softly.

He then realized that this guest had not been cultivating for long and was surprisingly ignorant of the power of the Xia Kingdom.

Therefore, she took the initiative to explain:

"Of the four existing innate masters in the entire Xia Kingdom, one of them is the ancestor of our Hundred Treasures Pavilion. It is because of the protection of the innate masters that the Hundred Treasures Pavilion has spread throughout the country."

"Four... Innate level?"

Ye Li asked in surprise, "So few? Is our Xia Kingdom really that bad?"

"There were many before, but as the nation's fortunes declined, the spiritual energy here withered, the land shrank, and resources became insufficient for innate cultivators, so they all left."

Jiang Xiyue rolled her eyes cutely as she spoke:

"Sir, do not underestimate the Innate Realm. With the Innate Realm, one can live to be 300 years old. In any country in the Southern Territory, one would be regarded as an honored guest and an absolute powerhouse. "And the Grandmasters above the Innate Realm are elders even within the Immortal Sect."

"The difference between the Innate Realm and the Acquired Perfection Realm is actually worlds apart. It may seem like only a small realm separates us, but in reality, there's an insurmountable chasm." "After age 50, the blood and energy deplete, making it impossible to break through realms. However, before age 30, without reaching the Acquired Perfection Realm, it's impossible to achieve the Innate Realm!" Jiang Xiyue said seriously, then suddenly smiled broadly.

"However, with so many secrets, you certainly don't need to worry about not being able to break through. With a little effort, Xiyue can also cultivate to the Innate Realm." "Then, the two of us can join forces to roam the martial world and be a divine couple for 300 years!"

"A divine couple for 300 years?" Ye Li stroked his chin, repeating the girl's words.

The girl noticed this expression and immediately feigned anger, saying:

"What, sir? You've even done 'that' with me, don't you want to take responsibility?"

"Anyway, Xiyue is sticking with this lecherous customer."

The girl raised her head, her watery eyes fixed on Ye Li, her cheeks flushed, radiating the courage unique to young girls.

"I'll be waiting for you in Kyoto...waiting for you..."

The unspoken words flowed silently in the air where their eyes met, the girl quietly awaiting Ye Li's promise. Love is a two-way street, not something sustained by one side; therefore, the girl needed the boy's verbal promise before she could feel at ease.

In the afterglow of the setting sun, Ye Li looked directly into the girl's watery eyes and smiled:

"Don't worry, once I get to Kyoto, I will personally meet my father-in-law and propose marriage to him."

When it came to proposing marriage, Ye Li was full of confidence.

It's just a mere innate family, where did this little Karami come from? I thought it was a speed bump.

If a peerless genius like myself were to come to their door, wouldn't the other party immediately bow down in reverence?

Currently, the highest level in the entire Xia Kingdom is only four Xiantian (innate level).

Ye Li's current strength surpasses that of a beginner-level, fully-fledged cultivator. Even in Kyoto, he'd be entitled to eat standing up, not sitting at a children's table. The Hundred Treasures Pavilion, it seemed so powerful before, but it turns out to be nothing special!

He had thought it was like the ancient clans in the late stages of the game "Battle Through the Heavens," but now it seems it's not so bad.

Unbeknownst to Ye Li, he discovered that what used to seem terrifying were now commonplace and easily attainable.
