Chapter 8: Ai Er Returns

  A stream of purple true energy slowly advanced, and every time it encountered some obstacles, as long as a little more force was added, these obstacles would be broken through. Lei Yu enjoyed such achievements, just like passing levels and cutting down generals. Along the way, there were constantly small soldiers, and when arriving at an acupoint entrance, there would be some cumbersome obstacles, which was like a guardian general. Lei Yu could usually easily pass through, but if he used too much force and caused the acupoint to rupture, it would be painful. Then, that green power would rapidly attack and repair the damaged ruptured acupoint. After countless ruptures and repairs, the acupoints in Lei Yu's body had expanded several times and were now more solid and flexible than before.

  The spiritual energy in the air is absorbed by the true energy that is moving, and the yellow bead in the brain will immediately transform into a gas, filtering all the newly absorbed true energy, removing all impurities, making the spiritual energy entering the body extremely pure.

  Lei Yu's body had formed three forces at this time, the purple true energy was his own, controlling this force to advance in cultivation, another green force would invisibly help him repair the damaged meridians and eight extraordinary vessels, while the yellow force would remove impurities from the newly absorbed spiritual energy.

  But the most confusing thing for Leiyu right now is the three forces inside his body, he doesn't know where they came from or why they exist within him. However, these are not important, what's important is that his body is indeed getting stronger.

  Half a month had passed, and Lei Yu continued to work hard in his cultivation. On ordinary days when he had nothing to do, he would go out with Nuo Hu to take a stroll around town. Occasionally, he would visit the Dragon Group to learn about some military matters. These days were dull but very regular, and Lei Yu had never thought of going against them. However, after one person appeared, everything became somewhat disordered.

  Nuo Hu and Lei Yu stood at the airport gate chatting idly, as if waiting for someone.

  "Brother!"

  A clear and crisp sound like a wind chime entered the ears of the two, they looked up to see that Lei Yu and Nuo Hu were instantly stunned.

  Nuo Hu hadn't seen his sister for three years either. During these three years, Ai Er hadn't returned to the country and had been studying abroad all along. Now that she's back, Nuo Hu felt a bit unfamiliar with her.

  A delicate face with a high nose bridge, a pair of bright and clear eyes like the moon, cherry lips with teeth as white as pearls, and long wavy hair swaying gently in the breeze. If it weren't for her not particularly full chest, she would be mistaken for a beautiful young bride in her prime.

  The girl ran over and gave Nuo Hu a big hug. The two siblings hadn't seen each other for three years, and this one hug proved the longing between them.

  "Brother, could it be that..." Aier turned her head and looked at Lei Yu, a hint of surprise in her eyes.

  "How can you not recognize him? He's Xiao Yu!" Nu Hu said with a smile.

  "Wow!" Ai Er didn't show any restraint, turning around and hugging Lei Yu tightly, "Little Yu Gege! Long time no see! You've really become more handsome!"

  Lei Yu swallowed hard, when he was younger, he didn't have any feelings, often carrying his little sister on his back and running around in the mountains. Now Xiaoe had grown into a big girl, and she was so beautiful, Lei Yu suddenly felt at a loss.

  The passersby or the crowd waiting for their flights couldn't help but cast envious glances this way, and if such a lovely girl could give herself a hug, what a wonderful thing that would be!

  The three of them drove back to Lei Yu's apartment together. The two siblings were quite pitiful, having lost their mother at a young age and their father was rarely available to spend time with them. As a result, the two siblings didn't get along well with other kids, except when they were with Lei Yu. The three naive children would be carefree and joyful only when they were together. The reason they didn't go back home was that Nuo Hu's father was busy handling some military and political affairs, and also because Nuo Hu still had to attend an important banquet with his own father, Nuo Yi Long.

  "Brother, I'll just stay at Xiao Yu's house today, okay? Anyway, you're going to the banquet with Dad later, and I don't want to be alone at home either." Aier said casually.

  "Ai'er, never mind! Wait and let Xiao Yu accompany you for a meal, you should go home, he still has to practice his skills tonight." Nuo Hu said.

  "Practicing? Little Yu, you're now highly respected in the Lei family, aren't you? You must defeat Lei Long and become the next head of the household!" As soon as Ai's words fell, Lei Yu's mood suddenly became somewhat downcast. Nuo Hu lightly pulled her while vigorously shaking his head and winking.

  "What's wrong? Did I say something wrong?"

  "Enough! Ai Er! Don't say anymore!" Nu Hu suddenly shouted, Ai Er never thought that her brother would have such a big reaction, and she was instantly somewhat tearful.

  "It's okay, Aier doesn't know anyway." Lei Yu forced a smile and gently patted Aier's head.

  "What's wrong? Tell me! What happened?" Aier thought that Lei Yu lived here simply because it was close to school, and didn't think of anything else.

  Seeing Lei Yu nodding, Nuo Hu let out a long sigh, "Alas! A year ago..."

  "This thunder cloud is really a big bad guy! Xiao Yu brother, you... why didn't you tell me earlier?" Ai Er's delicate face was covered with sparkling tears, and just looking at her made people feel affectionate.

  "It doesn't matter, it's all in the past, and I'm fine now, aren't I?" Lei Yu said nonchalantly, but was he really not bothered?

  "Little Brother Xiao Yu, let's go, it's time for dinner!" Ai Er pulled on Lei Yu's arm.

  Nuo Hu and the two of them bid each other a hasty farewell before driving away. The Nuo family only had this one son, so it was impossible for Ai Er to take over from his father. Therefore, the best candidate naturally fell on Nuo Hu's shoulders. Having early contact with some high-society people would also be beneficial for him in the future.

  Two people walked towards a restaurant together.

  "How come I don't know such a beauty?" A young man in his early twenties stood far away, staring at Ai'er's side and asked the several younger brothers beside him.

  "It's been a long time, we don't know each other either." said several people beside him.

  The young man narrowed his eyes slightly and was also silently calculating something in his heart.

  After dinner, Ai'er walked out of the restaurant first, while Lei Yu was busy settling the bill behind her. The young man from earlier reappeared, followed by two younger men.

  "Beautiful girl, can we get to know each other? You look so pretty, how about we become friends?"

  Ai'er looked the young man up and down, he was dressed with good taste, and had a face that could win women's love, but he looked like a complete pretty boy.

  Ayi smiled politely, "Sorry, I still have something to do, I'll leave first." She said, and walked around the three of them, preparing to take her leave.

  "Hey, wait a minute!" blocked Aier's path, "My name is Zhao Han, you must have heard of me?"

  Ai'er frowned and said, "Sorry, I really have something on."

  "Hey, don't be so shameless! Not anyone can talk to our Young Master Zhao!" someone behind Zhao Han cursed.

  "Shut up!" Zhao Han turned around with a venomous glare, "Who told you to speak to her like that?"

  The student immediately lowered his head, with a flattering and obedient appearance.

  Then he smiled at Ai'er: "Beauty, just make friends, why refuse people from afar? Do you have time tonight? I'll invite you to drink a cup."

  Ai'er didn't want Lei Yu to see her like this, nor did she want Lei Yu to cause trouble, he was already unlucky enough, and besides, her own brother wasn't here right now.

  "Excuse me, please make way."

  Ai'er wanted to leave, but Zhao Han wouldn't let her go. He grabbed her hand just as Lei Yu walked out of the restaurant.

  "Bastard! Stop it!" Lei Yu shouted loudly.

  Zhao Han frowned, "I've got my eye on this little girl, you'd better keep your distance from her, or I won't be polite to you!"

  "If you don't let go, I won't be polite to you!" Lei Yu narrowed his eyes. Nu Hu and Ai Er held a very important position in Lei Yu's heart, so he wouldn't allow any of them to get hurt.

  "Looking for death!" A younger brother behind Zhao Han rushed over quickly, stretching out his fist in an attempt to knock Lei Yu down with one punch.

  Those brothers who haven't collected it yet, collect it now.
