Chapter 5: Lucky hit
At night, Mu Tian was planning to sleep when he heard a sudden knock in his door then General Mu and his wife entered his room with a serious expression.
"Father,mother?" Mu Tian called out.
Mother Mu smiled kindly when she heard him call her.She sat in his bed and asked kindly with her eyes were full of concern,"Tian.Were you at the library whole day?"
"I have nothing to do.I was bored.So went to library to read some books." Mu Tian replied.Then he looked at her and General Mu with a confused expression.
"Father,mother, why are you looking so serious?"Mu Tian asked.
"Oh!Your Granda Wen told us that you have been spending half a day in the Martial Hall."
"Your father is afraid that you will be too depressed and hurt yourself so he bring us here to talk with you."
Mother Mu said as she looked at him with concern.Then she signals her husband to say what he wanted to.
"Ahem!Tian'r,listen to dad.Don't do anything stupid. Father can promise you that I will definitely find a way to reconstruct your meridians ."General Mu said again with all seriousness afraid that Mu Tian wouldn't belive him.
Mu Tian's heart warmed hearing this. Although system has already repaired his broken meridians.He still felt emotional when seeing his father and mother so concerned about him.
"Don't worry father.I just want to spent my leisure time in the library.I definitely won't do anything to hurt myself."Mu Tian replied with a reassuring smile.
Both General Mu and his wife heaved a sigh of relief after Mu Tian promised them seriously.
Since Mu Tian had already promised General Mu and his wife didn't stay longer in his room.After saying some assuring words to Mu Tian they left.
The next day,Mu Tian didn't sign-in in his room but instead he brought Xunr to the first level of Martial Hall.
After entering the huge hall,the first thing Mu Tian did is to sign-in.
As soon as Mu Tian commanded a series of notification appeared infront of him.
[Ding!System has detected that that host is currently in the Martial Hall.Do you want to sign-in?]
Mu Tian said yes without even thinking.
[Ding!Host has signed-in the Martial Hall of the Mu Family.]
[You are awarded with a Supreme grade Qi Cultivation technique."Yin-Yang Chaos Scripture."]
[Do you want to retrieve it now?]
Looking at the row of notification in front of him and the name Supreme grade made Mu Tian feels like he had won a million yuan lottery.
"What!Of course I need to retrieve it.Retrieve it now."Mu Tian said excitedly but then he remembered Xunr is still in front of him.
Fortunately ,the scripture is delivered to the system storage,not in his hand directly and Xunr hadn't noticed any abnormality.
He sighed in relief thinking that he had almost exposed himself.
Although Mu Tian is very excited and eager to see what kind of scripture that can be called a Supreme Grade and what kind of effect it will have but he still taught Xunr to read patiently.
As he has already decided on Xunr,he came with this way of teaching to get closer to her.
Thus the whole morning Mu Tian patiently taught her while Xunr sat on his lap and listen with a red face.
At afternoon,Mu Tian was finally alone.After locking his door,Mu Tian took out "Yin-Yang Chaos Scripture" from his system storage.
Looking at the book and the dazzling ancient chinese symbols on it,Mu Tian excitedly opened the book.As soon as he opened it a stream of chinese symbols started to enter in his mind from the book and soon the book in his hand vanished.
While Mu Tian's mind is immersed in receiving the information a figure sitting in a lotus position and murmuring something appeared in his mind.
Mu Tian didn't delay any longer. He followed the figure in his mind and started muttering the strange symbols.
A vortex of spiritual Qi formed around his body as the surrounding spiritual were sucked into his body and his aura started to rise.
Fortunately,he didn't have any cultivation and the energy that his body can absorb is limited or else his deeds would have caused a commotion.
Mu Tian don't know how long he had been in this state.The moment he opened his eyes,his surrounding has already turned completely dark.
He carefully inspect his body and notice the newfound strength in his body.At this moment he felt he could kill a wild bull in a single punch.
What made his even happier that even after sitting in lotus position for so long he isn't feeling uncomfortable at all. Instead he is feeling very refreshed as if he had just taken a hot bath.
"Umm...what lebel my strength is now?"Mu Tian thought and once again sit cross-legged and started cultivating.
But this time he isn't too engrossed. He carefully sensed the energy that is flowing inside his body and noticed that his body has already reached Body Tempering level five.
"Ummm..Not bad."
"With this cultivation technique and my holy grade spirit root it shouldn't take me much time to surpass the previous owner."
Mu Tian muttered and then once again immersed himself in cultivation, spending the whole night.
When Mu Tian woke up from his cultivation, it is already the morning of the next day.
He had leveled up twice in a single night and his cultivation reached the seventh level of body tempering technique.
After waking up,the first thing Mu Tian do is to consume a marrow refining pill.Then he went to took a bath.
"Young Master it's time to eat." As soon as Mu Tian came out after taking a bath he herad Xunr's voice.
Xunr who has just entered the room with a plate full of food saw the scene.
At this moment,Mu Tian had just taken a bath and upper half of his body is completely exposed.Water dripped from his long hair a which made his look extremely handsome.
"I...."Xunr sputtered and the plate in her hand almost slipped. Fortunately Mu Tian reacted in time and caught the plate.
"Young Master...I..I'm leaving."Xunr stammered then she was about to turn around and leave when Mu Tian caught her hand.
"Why are you leaving?"
"Come.Help me dry my hair."
Mu Tian said as he pulled her towards his bed and force her to sit next to him.Then he put the plate in his hand on the table beside his bed and took out a towel and handed it to her.
Xunr took the towel with her shaky hand and started to wipe his hair.
Mu Tian took this opportunity. He asked,"Xunr.Didn't I asked you to not call me young master?"
"Ummm.."Xunr nodded, indicating that she remembered him.
"Then why don't you call me big brother?"Mu Tian demanded with a probing gaze.
Looking at his intense gaze Xunr lowered her head and replied in a low voice,"Xunr isn't worthy."
It take Mu Tian a few moments to understand what she meant.
From the memory of the previous owner,he recalled that Xunr used to call him Big Brother when she was a child.
But later after being tested with a false spirit root,she started to change the way she used to address him.
The previous owner had tried many times but she insisted on calling his young master.
"Could it be that she felt inferior?" Mu Tian thought.
He looked down at her carefully and saw her hand clenched tightly. He held her hand in his palm and let out a soft smile.
Feeling the warmth of his hand Xunr also looked up.She looked at him with her deer like eyes.
"Silly girl! What's going on in your small head?"Mu Tian asked with an affectionate gaze.
Hearing his soft voice and looking at his affectionate gaze two Xunr's eyes become watery and two drops of tears fell from from her eyes.
"They said...they said that Xunr isn't worthy of big brother and isn't worthy to be a daughter of Mu Family."Xunr said with sobs as she lay in his embrace.
As if they had retuned to their childhood, when Xunr used to complain every grievance she suffered.
Looking at her pitiful expression Mu Tian suddenly felt a tinge of pain in his heart.He didn't know if he like the feelings that the previous owner left in his but absolutely doesn't dislike it.
Especially this girl Xunr.Who wouldn't like such a lovely girl?
Thus at this moment Mu Tian really started to fall for her and he didn't act just because of the tingh of regret that the previous owner left.
He warpped his arm around her and tightened the hug.Then he whispered in her ear.
"Silly girl!Why didn't you told me that they had bullied you?"
"Your big brother don't care and never cared about what other say.So,you can't distance yourself from him."
"Also,you have to tell me if other bully you."
"My Xunr can only be bullied by me not others."
"Do you understand? Hmmm?"
Mu Tian asked in a coaxing voice.Then he held her face by his hand and foced her look at him.
Looking at her teary eyes and her pitiful expression Mu Tian felt an ich in his heart.
On the other side,Xunr felt extremly emotional as she heard his comforting voice.As if venting years of grievance, tears started to fall uncontrollably from her eyes.
"Xunr.Don't cry."
"Don't you know big brother's heart ache when he see you sad?"
"Big brother will punish those who had bullied you.Okay?"
Mu Tian patiently coaxed her as she silently shed her tears in his chest.
