Chapter 286 Training With Xiao Xiao
Shi Yao was also surprised to see Xiao Xiao. As a senior cultivator, she naturally knew about his identity, and she did not expect that she was related to Ling Yun.
Ling Yun only smiled at their reactions and led them into the house. "Let's just talk inside."
"Why are you in this city, Madam Chang?" Xiao Xiao asked as she glanced at Shi Yao with a raised eyebrow.
"Anyway, you can call me by my name; there's no need to call me Madam Chang anymore because my husband decided to divorce me." Liu Qiyue answered as she followed Ling Yun into the house, surprising Xiao Xiao. "Oh, I have also agreed to be his woman, so I will live here with him."
'This kid! He has too many women by his side, yet he still dares to touch other people's wives.' Xiao Xiao grumbled in her heart after hearing that. As far as she knew, Liu Qiyue's family was very harmonious, but now they had decided to divorce. "Are your husband divorced you because of him?"
Ling Yun's lips twitched at Xiao Xiao's question, and he grumbled in his heart. 'Big Sis Xiao! What do you really think of me?'
However, Liu Qiyue shook her head and explained to her. "You're wrong, Doctor Xiao. My ex-husband divorced me not because of Ling Yun, but instead, he was the one who gave me a new ray of hope."
"Oh!?" Xiao Xiao looked at Liu Qiyue in surprise. "Could you tell me about that?"
Liu Qiyue nodded and told Xiao Xiao about what happened to her yesterday and the reason why her husband chose to divorce her.
Shi Yao also confirmed Liu Qiyue's words. Although she was still weird about her daughter's relationship with Ling Yun, she also felt grateful towards him. Without him, her daughter's life would have been ruined by now.
Xiao Xiao's eyes narrowed after Liu Qiyue finished her story; she felt sorry for her fate because she knew very well about the infamy of that heretic clan. "Mo Clan, huh? I didn't expect that your ex-husband was a member of that heretical clan, and I also just found out that his real name is Mo Yu."
"Anyway, I'm curious about one thing, Qiyue." Shi Yao finally couldn't contain his curiosity. "Since when have you been in a relationship with Ling Yun? Judging from the attitude between you two, I believe your relationship has been going on for a long time; that means you cheated on your ex-husband, right?"
Liu Qiyue took a deep breath and confessed to her mother. "I'm sorry, Mom! We have known each other since two and a half years ago, and I've had feelings for him since then. However, I buried it deeply because I was Mo Yu's wife back then. But now I'm a free woman, so I decided to follow my feelings and want to be with him."
Shi Yao looked at her in a daze. "Don't you think about other people's opinions of him later? You just divorced Mo Yu, and now you've decided on this matter, let alone he is much younger than you."
"You don't have to worry about that, Aunt Shi." Xiao Xiao tried to mediate them. "Ling Yun always follows his own heart, and he never cares about other people's opinions of him. Moreover, he is a special and rare young man, and I am sure Qiyue will be happy with him."
Even though Xiao Xiao was trying to deny her fate, with the great responsibility that awaited him in the future, she was sure that Ling Yun was no ordinary man, or else he would not be able to bear it.
Shi Yao sighed softly and asked. "Are you really sure about your decision, Qiyue?"
"Yes! I'm sure that Ling Yun won't let me down." Liu Qiyue replied confidently.
"If you are confident in your decision, I will support you." Shi Yao finally gave in to her daughter's decision, and she turned to Ling Yun. "I hope you won't let my daughter down later."
"Don't worry; I will never let Qiyue down." Ling Yun replied with a smile.
After they chatted for a while, and since the other women were not in the house except for Kate. Xiao Xiao then took Ling Yun to practice in the back garden, and she took out the two puppets from before. "I've set their strength in the Upper Foundation Realm like you, so it shouldn't be a problem for you to fight them."
"All right." Ling Yun immediately started training against the two puppets.
On the other hand, Xiao Xiao and Ling Xi watched him train from the side of the garden while discussing Ling Yun and the others' future.
*Boom*
However, they were suddenly startled by a loud bang and turned their heads toward Ling Yun. Xiao Xiao gawked at the area around Ling Yun, as there was a large palm hole. Moreover, her two puppets also lay helplessly on the spot. "What kind of palm technique is that?"
"The name of the technique is Golden Buddha Palm. Although it is a palm technique, the range of the technique is quite large, and its destructive power is also extreme." Ling Xi explained as she chuckled. "Just two puppets won't be his match, Little Xiao."
Xiao Xiao took a deep breath, walked towards Ling Yun, and pulled back the two puppets. Then she replaced them with ten other puppets, as she said. "Since two puppets are no match for you, then you can fight these ten puppets, and all of them are in the Upper Foundation Realm."
After that, Xiao Xiao returned to Ling Xi's side, and they continued to focus on observing Ling Yun.
Ling Yun almost choked at Xiao Xiao's words. Still, he had no intention of protesting and immediately used his Apocalypse Set. "Ten puppets, huh? I can't just rely on my palm and fist techniques to deal with them, so I have to use those techniques."
He closed his eyes to concentrate, but all the puppets quickly attacked him.
*Boom*
Another loud bang rang out, but Ling Yun had already disappeared from his original spot. Just before the puppets' attacks hit him, he had already used the Nine Heaven Steps to dodge their combined attacks.
"Oh? He's getting more proficient with his movement techniques; he even knows when to use them properly." Ling Xi was quite surprised that Ling Yun dodged the puppets' attacks. "But his attacks are still too slow."
"True! He didn't immediately attack the puppets despite being vulnerable." Xiao Xiao spoke as she nodded in agreement.
"It's because his fighting instincts haven't been honed yet." Ling Xi's eyes kept following Ling Yun's movements. "During his training with Lei Lin, he didn't have the chance to attack her, and he was more focused on avoiding her attacks."
"He's been training with her before?" Xiao Xiao asked in surprise, she knew Lei Lin didn't like to train others, but she had trained Ling Yun instead. "Anyway, what are your plans with his women? Are you going to train them too? Because he will definitely need a lot of help in the future."
"Of course! I have prepared training for them. Only Shui Lan, Ling Ling, and Yi Shu are ready to fight among them, and the rest are still novice cultivators." Ling Xi replied with a nod, then she explained all her plans for Ling Yun's women to her.
Xiao Xiao nodded in understanding and spoke to him. "Out of all of them, only Sister Mingxia isn't a fighting type cultivator. It's better if she deepens her healing techniques. That way, she can take care of them if anything happens to them."
"Yes!" Ling Xi nodded in agreement with him.
An hours later.
"Have you realized your weakness?" Xiao Xiao asked Ling Yun, who was lying on the ground as he was panting heavily.
Three of the ten puppets could be defeated by Ling Yun, but his condition was also not good. His clothes were messy and torn in several places, and his face and body were also bruised.
Ling Yun shook his head at her; he felt he had tried his best, but there were too many of them.
Xiao Xiao sighed softly and explained it to him. "Your biggest weakness is that you overthink when fighting, making your reactions very slow, and you waste too many opportunities to attack them. In the end, you make a lot of useless moves, and all of that drains your qi very fast. Fortunately, your opponents are mindless puppets who only know to attack. But you're already dead by now if you're dealing with real cultivators."
Ling Yun was silent, contemplating Xiao Xiao's words. He closed his eyes, trying to recall his battle with the puppets earlier, and tried to analyze according to her words.
'He doesn't get discouraged easily, huh? And it's also good that he wants to listen to other people's opinions.' Xiao Xiao muttered satisfactorily; she felt pretty satisfied with Ling Yun's mindset.
Moments later, Ling Yun had already opened his eyes. "I understand, Big Sis Xiao."
"Good!" Xiao Xiao nodded at him. "I'll show you how to fight properly, so you should pay close attention."
Xiao Xiao then suppressed her cultivation to the Upper Foundation Realm, and she started moving against the puppets.
Ling Yun continued to watch Xiao Xiao face the ten puppets, and his eyes focused on following her movements that he didn't even blink.
