"What others say doesn't matter; you have to verify it yourself to know the truth. Have you practiced cultivation?"
"No."
Xiao Nannan shook her head.
“Then starting tomorrow, you will train with me, and I will teach you.”
Xiao Zhan smiled.
"Yes, Master."
"Master... Compared to a master, family is better. What do you think?"
Xiao Zhan asked.
"family..."
Xiao Nannan was stunned. It seemed that she no longer had any family in this world, and she did feel the warmth of home from Xiao Zhan.
This feeling reassured her; she would no longer be alone and could rely on her family even if she was bullied.
"Don't let my youthful appearance fool you, I'm actually over sixty. How about I become your grandfather someday?"
"Yes, Grandpa."
Xiao Nannan's eyes were filled with tears.
"Sigh, I've made you suffer all these years. Take a good rest today and take a walk around the Xiao family compound to familiarize yourself with the surroundings. I'll come back tomorrow to guide you in your cultivation."
Xiao Zhan patted her head.
"good."
Xiao Nannan nodded.
The next day.
After a day of rest, Xiao Nannan regained her usual radiance, but her body appeared somewhat frail due to years of hunger.
Xiao Zhan brought Xiao Nannan to the cultivation ground.
Xiao Hao had already arrived by then.
Xiao Hao was quite surprised to see Xiao Zhan leading a girl over.
"Grandpa, who is she?"
It's no wonder he was puzzled. After all, he had lived in the Xiao family for so many years and knew the faces of all the members of the Xiao family, but he had never seen Xiao Nannan before.
"Hao'er, from today onwards, Nannan is your little sister. You must protect her well, understand?"
Xiao Zhan said with a smile.
"younger sister!"
Xiao Hao was taken aback, then overjoyed.
I've wanted a younger sister for a long time.
So he began to introduce himself with great enthusiasm.
"Hello, my name is Xiao Hao, I'm eight and a half years old. Don't underestimate me because I'm young, I'm already a Nascent Soul cultivator. If anyone bullies you in the future, just tell your older brother, and I'll beat them to death!"
Seeing Xiao Hao's enthusiastic manner, Xiao Nannan became somewhat timid.
This was a huge blow to Xiao Hao. Did he look that scary?
No way! Grandpa said I'm cute and that I'll definitely be dashing when I grow up.
"Hello... My name is Xiao Nannan, and I'm six years old..."
Finally, Xiao Nannan mustered up her courage and began to introduce herself.
Xiao Zhan then said seriously to Xiao Hao, "I rescued Nannan from outside the day before yesterday. She's a bit introverted now, so you can't be too boisterous, you know?"
"Okay, Grandpa."
Xiao Hao nodded, "I see."
"Then let's begin the cultivation. Hao'er, you cultivate on your own, and I'll teach Nannan first."
Xiao Hao naturally had no objections.
I found a place and sat down cross-legged.
Xiao Zhan also began to teach Xiao Nannan about cultivation.
To his surprise, no matter what knowledge he taught, Xiao Nannan could remember it after listening to it only once, and she could even apply it to other situations.
This terrifying level of comprehension left Xiao Zhan speechless.
He truly deserves to be called the chosen one.
Having witnessed Xiao Nannan's terrifying comprehension, Xiao Zhan also accelerated the pace of his teaching.
A week has passed in the blink of an eye.
During this period of study, Xiao Nannan has thoroughly mastered the theoretical knowledge.
"My dear, you can start your cultivation today. Just do as I taught you before."
Xiao Zhan said.
Xiao Nannan nodded, then sat down cross-legged and began to circulate her energy.
Xiao Hao, who was standing to the side, also stopped cultivating and began to pay attention.
After a long pause, the two of them frowned simultaneously.
Something's wrong. It seems like there's something wrong with Xiao Nannan's body. No matter how she tries to draw in external spiritual energy through her cultivation techniques, her body refuses to absorb it.
Xiao Hao hesitated, then gestured to Xiao Zhan with his eyes, indicating what they should do now.
Xiao Zhan hadn't expected that Xiao Nannan really couldn't cultivate.
After a long while, Xiao Nannan opened her eyes dejectedly: "Am I really useless...?"
"What are you saying, Nannan? This isn't your problem. It must be because the cultivation method is unsuitable."
Xiao Hao immediately offered encouragement.
Xiao Zhan also spoke up, "That's right, just like Hao'er said, everyone is suited to different cultivation methods. It's possible that none of the existing cultivation methods are suitable for you, which creates the illusion that you can't cultivate them."
"Cultivation technique..."
Xiao Nannan was taken aback, then seemed to understand something. The theoretical knowledge she had learned during this period of time had not been in vain.
Actually, she had already realized during her own cultivation that her physique seemed unsuitable for cultivation, but the two people's words gave her another way out.
Since one's constitution makes it impossible to cultivate using these techniques, why not create one that one can cultivate?
"Grandpa, I want to create my own cultivation method."
Xiao Nannan revealed her thoughts.
"Create it yourself? Fine, since that's what you think, I, your grandpa, will definitely support you. Creating a cultivation technique isn't something that can be done overnight; it also requires a vast amount of knowledge."
Therefore, I will continue to teach you the knowledge of the techniques, and you will also need to learn a large number of techniques to use as models.
Xiao Zhan said seriously.
With Xiao Nannan's terrifying comprehension, she might actually succeed.
In the days that followed, Xiao Zhan brought a large number of cultivation techniques for Xiao Nannan to study and taught her a great deal of knowledge about cultivation techniques.
Her terrifying comprehension seemed to have no upper limit; she could learn anything, grasp things instantly, and even expand upon them.
After learning a great deal of knowledge, she began to practice with the incomplete martial arts techniques.
Completing a technique is easier than creating one.
Under her repair, the incomplete cultivation manuals were restored to complete chapters.
Xiao Zhan was stunned; this kid was terrifying!
Xiao Hao was also very surprised; his younger sister seemed to be truly extraordinary.
Another year has passed in the blink of an eye.
Yunlan Sect.
Below the mountain gate.
A young man dressed in black robes looked at the sect on the mountaintop and smiled disdainfully.
Without further hesitation, he walked uphill with firm steps.
After a long while, the boy was stopped outside the sect.
"Who goes there!"
"Xiao Yan of the Xiao family has come to keep the appointment."
The boy took off his hood, revealing a resolute face.
"You are Xiao Yan!"
The man was startled; quite a few people were aware of the rumors surrounding Senior Sister Yan.
"Since you are Xiao Yan, then come in."
This person led Xiao Yan into the sect's interior.
Along the way, many disciples discussed it animatedly.
"Who is this person? And he doesn't seem to have any good intentions. Could he be thinking of causing trouble at the Yunlan Sect?"
"You don't know this? Haven't you heard the rumors about Senior Sister Yan? Today seems to be the three-year mark."
"You mean, this person is Xiao Yan?"
"No doubt about it, there's going to be a good show soon."
"I see. I heard that Xiao Yan's talent has regressed, yet he still dared to make a three-year agreement with Senior Sister Yan. He was no match for Senior Sister three years ago, and he will be no match for her now."
Despite the discussions, Xiao Yan remained unmoved; his years of mental refinement were no joke.
Today he has only one goal: to defeat Nalan Yan and utterly trample on her dignity and face.
He will collect the debt owed to the Xiao family double!
