"What? Little sister, you said you'd take me and big brother to the Qinling Mountains? But aren't you supposed to be going to Northeast China for cold-weather training? Will you be able to make it in time?"
Tang Bei looked at Tang Yue with a serious expression. "Sister, I know that Er Nan and I have caused you trouble. But, Qinling, I want to go."
He knew that at their current cultivation speed, it was uncertain when they would be able to break through to the first level of Qi Refining. Things seemed quiet in Japan lately, but who knew how long that would last?
As long as the Hatoyama family remains, they will always be in danger. Now that their father has gone to the battlefield and their sister is often away from home, only Dongzi is left at home. Tang Bei is afraid that if something happens, Dongzi will be overwhelmed.
"Huh? Big brother, didn't you always say that you should put your sister first in everything? Why has that changed?" Tang Nan was a little confused.
Tang Bei looked at him and asked, "Er Nan, do you want to break through to the first level of Qi Refining?"
Tang Nan's face instantly lit up with anticipation. "Yes, brother, I dream about it all the time."
Tang Yue felt a pang of sadness. In truth, while she was forging ahead, her brothers were also carrying a heavy burden. They just never said it.
The first thing Tang Dong heard upon entering was, "What's going on?"
Tang Yue repeated herself, and Tang Dong thought it made sense. "Alright, the spiritual energy on the South Island isn't as good as at sea. Since my sister says the spiritual energy in the Qinling Mountains is much denser, then you two brothers should go with her for a few days."
Anyway, nothing much is going on at home lately, so I can handle anything if anything happens.
Tang Bei patted Tang Dong on the shoulder, "Dongzi, you'll have to work hard at home for a while. Er Nan and I will come back as soon as we break through to the first level of Qi Refining."
Tang Dong waved his hand, "Hehe, big brother, second brother, don't worry. I'm already at the sixth level of Qi Refining, and ordinary people can't hurt me. As long as I'm here, I won't let Mom, Xixi, and Grandpa get hurt."
"There are some people we still need to be wary of."
The three Tang brothers all looked at Tang Yue, who didn't keep them in suspense. "I think there's something wrong with Wei Xin. Even though she doesn't show any flaws right now, I just have a feeling she's a spy."
Tang Nan's simple-minded face cracked with rage. "Little sister, really? Aunt Wei seems so gentle and easy to get along with. How could she be a spy?"
Tang Yue didn't reply, so Tang Bei tapped Tang Nan on the head first. "Just listen to what your sister says. Besides, spies don't have 'spy' written on their foreheads. Isn't it normal that you can't tell?"
"Little sister, have you told Battalion Commander Chang about this?" Tang Dong asked earnestly. At the same time, he was wondering whether he should keep an eye on Wei Xin secretly.
Tang Yue nodded, "I've already spoken to Battalion Commander Chang twice. But Wei Xin hasn't given anything away, so there hasn't been any progress on his end either."
Tang Dong indicated that he knew. Tang Yue continued, "Actually, I have an idea. I think Wei Xin will definitely make some moves soon."
Seeing her brothers looking at her, Tang Yue spoke her mind directly. "She's been taking photos of everyone lately, including high-ranking military officers. I think these people are good candidates if they want to turn people against their cause or plant spies in the military."
"Besides, photos make it much easier to recognize people," Tang Dong continued. "So, sister, do you think Wei Xin would tamper with these photos?"
Tang Yue nodded; she had a gut feeling that Wei Xin would definitely do this. Tang Dong indicated that he understood. "I'll keep a close eye on things."
Tang Yue shook her head. Since Wei Xin was a spy and hid so well, it was impossible for her to be discovered so easily. However, it would definitely be much better to be on guard.
Tang Yue pondered for a moment, then looked at Tang Dong, "Third Brother, have you noticed any changes in your mental strength since you reached the sixth floor?"
"Mental strength?"
"Mental strength?"
"Mental power?" the three brothers exclaimed in unison, unsure of what their sister meant. Tang Dong thought for a moment and then asked...
"Sister, are you referring to my spirit? But what exactly is spiritual power?"
Tang Yue felt that no matter how she expressed it, something was missing. Moreover, she herself knew nothing about this in her past life. Tang Yue looked at Tang Dong, "Third Brother, relax. I'll attack you with my mental power. Don't move your body; try to use your mental energy to fight back. Shall we try?"
Tang Dong found this method novel and interesting; it seemed to be a new field, and he really wanted to try it.
"Okay, little sister, I'm ready."
Tang Yue didn't know how to tap into spiritual power; she just wanted to try. Also, she didn't know what her third brother's spiritual power was like. Tang Yue used only a tiny fraction of her spiritual power—the thinnest bit of a hair's breadth—to attack Tang Dong.
Tang Dong relaxed completely, only his mind remaining alert. Suddenly, he sensed a powerful danger approaching him, and instinctively wanted to dodge. But remembering what his sister had said, he immediately used his mental energy to resist.
But it was no use. Before Tang Dong could even figure out how to resist, he immediately felt a throbbing pain in his head, and then his eyes rolled back and he fainted.
"Dongzi".
"Dongzi".
"Third Brother!"
Tang Bei caught Tang Dong, and the three of them surrounded him. Tang Yue immediately used her spiritual power to check Tang Dong's body, then she breathed a sigh of relief.
"It's nothing, he probably just had a terrible headache and passed out."
Tang Bei and Tang Nan looked at Tang Yue differently now. They hadn't realized their sister was so powerful; she could instantly kill a Qi Refining Level 6 cultivator without even moving. What were they going to do?
Tang Yue seemed to understand her two older brothers' thoughts. She felt that mental power and spiritual power belonged to two different systems. So, why not let her two older brothers try it out?
