"Although I do not want to have you challenging him, it seems like I will be able to stop no matter what I say. Try not to feel like you're being bullied, else he's going to enjoy tormenting you."

Xiao Fei'er shivered at the thought of her father before standing up, "Alright, with that out of the way, I'm going to return to Xun Jia's side. I feel like she's going to be your sister-in-law soon enough."

Wang Ling raised a brow, "Is she a good person?"

"Yes she is, it seems like she's a good friend of your Hong'er and they had been traveling together since two years ago. Though they had to stop after the burnt marks appeared on her arms."

"How old was she when this happened?"

"I supposed she was twenty years old by then." Xiao Fei'er answered his question. She then saw Wang Ling shook his head as asked one last thing.

"Is her mother still alive? Or was she afflicted with the same disease?"

"Yes, she was. It is unfortunate but she died early with the same cause. But do not worry, the pill the Flame Mistress is going to give her will heal her entirely." Xiao Fei'er sounded confident.

Wang Ling shook his head and asked, "Where is Sister Renhuo again? I have to speak to her."

"They are currently concocting a pill, it would be best if you don't disturb them."

"Alright, but can a mother do me a favor? This is to ensure Sister Xun Jia's recovery is ensured."

Wang Ling took out a piece of paper and started to write. It took him three minutes but after he was done, Wang Ling passed it to his mother, "Please tell them the thing Xun Jia is inflicted with is an innate poison that is passed down through generations.

"It is called a Slithering Yin Poison, I once read it in a book. That paper I handed you mother is the correct way to ensure the recovery of Sister Xun Jia. I can do it myself but contact with the bare skin must be made so I do not want to do that. Even so, it is a rather easy process so please take care of it."

Xiao Fei'er read through the paper and indeed it was a viable instruction for treating someone and because Xiao Fei'er had already examined Xun Jia, she knew various paths the dark burns had taken root in.

Looking at the detailed explanation and instructions, Xiao Fei'er looked at her son, "How did you learn this?"

"I once read through a book of ancient ways of healing someone. Though that book was destroyed in one of the scuffles I have been through.

"After the whole thing is over, please keep this a secret to everyone. I do not like rowdy environments."

Five days passed and Wang Ling had chosen to hole himself up in one of the rooms of the palace. He did come out of the room one day. Though he did congratulate Xun Jia for recovering. Wang Ling didn't care.

He attended the banquet for the princess's recovery and stayed in the Tranquil Empire till the present day.

Though in the past few days, he had gained enlightenment in a lot of things. His dao path had been slowly solidifying and a little more time and he should be able to reach dominion realm.

Though he is still a middle-grand saint stage cultivator, Wang Ling was already preparing for the future.

He was not hasty, he was merely looking into the future.

Other good things had happened in the past few days. First would be his bloodline, more specifically the Greater Holy Lord bloodline.

He had already passed through the 18 bells of heavens, he was already preparing for the 27 bells. In the past few days, he had already reached 21 bells.
