Moreover, over the past few days, He Dantou had vaguely received some news from his elder brother, Patriarch Xuanchen. Yang Qiqi's younger sister, Xiao Jiu, was very likely an earth-element inheritor named Tu Ranran.
After all, Patriarch Xuanchen had personally overseen the Inheritors and Cloud Stair Island plan. Although the Yellow Earth Heights Sect was a sect from the Western Regions, if it wanted to participate in the Cloud Stair Island plan, it could not possibly go around Patriarch Xuanchen. It had no choice but to tell him about the inheritor.
That was how the news had reached He Dantou's ears. During the days he had been injured, He Dantou had also contacted Patriarch Xuanchen and mentioned Wei Zhao. But Patriarch Xuanchen had told him to set his mind at ease. Once Wei Zhao returned, someone would naturally deal with him!
"Yes, President He." Yang Qiqi nodded politely.
"Elder Wang, go and fetch a Great Recovery Pill and bestow it upon Yang Qiqi. This is the tradition of our Overseas Cultivators Association. Yang Qiqi, you must not refuse." After speaking to Elder Wang, President He turned to Yang Qiqi.
"Then thank you, President He!" Yang Qiqi said in delighted surprise.
"Qiqi, I heard that your younger sister, Xiao Jiu, is an inheritor of the Yellow Earth Heights Sect?" He Dantou asked tentatively.
Yang Qiqi was immediately startled. She had not expected He Dantou to know about this. But after thinking it over, she decided not to conceal it. Xiao Jiu's identity being exposed could only benefit her, not harm her.
No matter how capable He Dantou was, he would never dare oppose the entire ancient world. Xiao Jiu's identity as an inheritor was equivalent to a protective talisman. Anyone who dared lay a hand on Xiao Jiu would be declaring war on the entire ancient world. Of all those experts at the peak of the late Heaven-rank and those at the consummate peak, who would not want to participate in the Cloud Stair Island plan and advance to Heaven-Dao rank?
"Yes. She is the long-lost younger sister of Tu Bawang, the young sect master of the Yellow Earth Heights Sect." Yang Qiqi nodded and answered truthfully.
"Heh heh, so both of you really are cultivation prodigies. But Qiqi, how did I fail to see it before? How did your cultivation advance so quickly? Did you encounter some fortuitous opportunity?" He Dantou asked tentatively. Naturally, he was not suspicious of Yang Qiqi. He simply wanted to know whether she possessed some special secret.
"President He, the truth is that I did not practice internal cultivation before because I could never calm my mind. As you know, internal and external cultivation are different. One requires stillness, while the other requires motion. Because of Xiao Jiu, I used to travel everywhere seeking medicine to cure her illness, and I simply could not settle down to cultivate. But now that her problem has been resolved, I have finally been able to cultivate at home during this period." Yang Qiqi continued, "However, because of the special nature of the Assassins' Group, we are generally not permitted to disclose our strength to outsiders. I had merely reached a bottleneck before, and because I trusted the Overseas Cultivators Association, I chose to tell the Association about these matters."
"I see!" After listening, President He nodded. Everything Yang Qiqi had said was perfectly reasonable. It seemed that she truly was a cultivation prodigy. "Very well, Qiqi. Go home and continue cultivating diligently. And give Xiao Jiu my regards!" To be continued.
