"Ah, it's this little thing! I haven't seen it in so long, I've actually missed it!" Sure enough, Yu Xiaoke's attention was immediately drawn to the Heavenly Thunder Pig. She scooped up the little creature and gazed at it affectionately. But after a while, she was startled. "It's already a spirit beast at the peak of the late Mystic rank?" "Yes, heh heh, I can help others raise their strength. Didn't you know that back at the ancient tomb?" Wei Zhao asked.
"Back then..." Yu Xiaoke had not been well acquainted with Wei Zhao at the time and had not asked in detail; now she could not quite remember clearly either. But it did not matter. She was astonished. "You can raise a spirit beast's strength? Then why not raise it to the Heaven rank?"
"..." Wei Zhao was somewhat speechless. "That is already the limit. It cannot be raised any further."
"Oh..." Yu Xiaoke nodded. Wei Zhao's words brought her back to reality. Right—raising a spirit beast to the Heaven rank, was that not a joke?
Wei Zhao quickly pitched the tents. He had brought two: one for himself and White Leader, and one for Yu Xiaoke. As for food, they had brought their own compressed biscuits and the like.
Once the tents were up, Yu Xiaoke had assumed Wei Zhao would share a tent with her, and she had been rather excited about it—because in her view, White Leader was the teacher and would naturally have a tent to himself, leaving her with Wei Zhao. But to her surprise, Wei Zhao went into a tent together with White Leader!
"Male thief, you two together?" Yu Xiaoke was somewhat reluctant to accept it. She had finally gotten a chance to be alone with Wei Zhao—even if they did nothing, just whispering together would have been nice!
"I am helping Teacher Bai heal his injuries. He is slightly wounded. Xiaoke, if you are not sleepy, you can help us with the **!" Wei Zhao said.
"All right, then I will just sit nearby!" Only then did Yu Xiaoke cheer up again. Though with White Leader present she could not say anything too intimate to Wei Zhao, she was content simply to be with him.
Wei Zhao said nothing more. He sat cross-legged in the tent with White Leader, his hand pressing on the pulse point at White Leader's wrist, while Yu Xiaoke watched Wei Zhao's healing method with curiosity.
"Male thief, you are using true qi to help your ** heal?" Yu Xiaoke was curious. Though she was an external ** practitioner, she knew a little about internal ** as well. Seeing Wei Zhao use true qi to heal White Leader, she was puzzled. "Can you treat him because you are of the same sect, or can you treat anyone's injuries?"
"Xiaoke, Xiaoyi is healing me now. If you have questions, ask him later, all right? Do not disturb him," White Leader said, startled, afraid Yu Xiaoke would interfere with Wei Zhao.
"Oh, oh, oh..." Yu Xiaoke nodded hurriedly and covered her mouth. She had heard that an expert of the internal school must not be distracted while circulating the mental cultivation formulas, especially when performing important tasks. But she was an external ** practitioner, free of such concerns—which was why she had spoken up—and she had nearly disrupted Wei Zhao!
