Chapter 25: Advice
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
In Chu He’s opinion, Zhao Yuling’s breakthrough was quite a success.
Even though her success was never in doubt, she did not need much effort either!
“Brother Lil Chu! I’m a Precelestial already!”
Zhao Yuling was thrilled and flustered.
She swung her little punch forcefully and the strong wind struck so powerfully that it made an audible sound.
“Calm down, it’s just being a Precelestial!” Chu He smiled calmly.
“Bear in mind, before you’re a king, you should never expose your cultivation. You’ll be in trouble if you find yourself being the weaker party.”
Chu He reminded her again.
Even though he had warned the girl about that issue a long time ago, she was still a youngster and would easily get overexcited.
The girl would be unbearably full of herself after she had broken through.
Perhaps if she was slightly careless, she might be tempted to start showing off.
Hence, he had to repeatedly remind her from time to time.
“Got it, Brother Lil Chu!”
Zhao Yuling pulled her punch back.
“Good!”
Chu He said with satisfaction, “You’ve exposed quite a quantity of your aura. For the time being, you’ll remain in the book depository. Once you’ve improved your sword arts a notch or two, then you’ll be allowed to step out.”
“Ok!”
Zhao Yuling agreed obediently.
For the past few years, she had spent most of her time at the book depository. Hence, the arrangement would not make her feel uncomfortable.
...
Time flew past swiftly.
Another five years had passed in a blink of an eye.
After Chu He had mastered his cultivation to the Fourth Turn, he began to slowly but steadily progress further.
Currently, he was already in the Third Level of the Fourth Turn, proceeding to the Fourth Level of the Fourth Turn.
The time of cultivation flashed past.
The feeling of toying with the little tortoise and teaching the girl was quite fulfilling enough.
However, the girl’s cultivation had not been proceeding very smoothly lately.
Besides, Chu He could not interfere with it.
Her mentality had bumped into an obstacle.
Currently, she was already at the Precelestial Ninth Erudition level and had started accumulating some experience in a routine enough method.
However, Chu He, who possessed higher cultivation and extraordinary eyesight, had spotted a huge flaw buried deep within her.
It was something ordinary people would never notice.
If things continued to proceed like this, there should be no problem for Zhao Yuling to break through to the King realm, but her potential had reached its limit. She would have to overcome many hurdles ahead if she wanted to improve herself.
Since the root of the problem had been spotted, naturally, it needed to be dealt with.
The problem with Zhao Yuling was that she was a young person with bounds of energy, which made her differ greatly compared to the mentality of an old man like Chu He.
However, in these few years, she had been following Chu He’s every step and was always being restrained by him, causing her character to inexplicably become more similar to his, which resulted in her failing to unleash her potential.
To put it more simply, her abilities had improved but she was discontent deep inside because she could not show off.
“Come over here, girl!”
Chu He waved his hand.
Zhao Yuling, who was trying all means at her disposal to pull out the little tortoise’s head that had retracted back into the shell, hastily rushed over.
“You’re now a Precelestial Ninth Erudition, and I can confidently say that you got the ability to defend yourself. You can now head out to relax, and experience being in the society!”
Chu He told her with a smile.
Zhao Yuling’s eyes sparkled when she heard it.
She entered the book depository at the age of nine and made a vow to become a great person.
In the blink of an eye, she has been there for eight years.
Even though her mindset was much stronger than any child of the same age, she was still at the age of falling in love and had been lonely for a very long time.
The passion within her was burning fiercely. Given her age, it was already a great achievement that she could suppress the urge to suggest heading out to have a stroll.
Right now, she was obviously delighted when Chu He brought it up.
“But, if you leave, who’s going to keep you company, Brother Lil Chu?!”
Zhao Yuling said after a moment’s hesitation.
Even though she was eager to head out to society to test out her abilities, she still had a considerably kind disposition. She was sharply reminded of Chu He being lonely and all alone.
These few years, Chu He had been teaching Zhao Yuling. All the outsiders thought this was a test to earn a meeting with a grand person.
Perhaps no one was disturbed because it was the Lin family’s arrangement. The entire book depository, including the rooms around it, had no other people staying in it.
Usually, only Chu He and Zhao Yuling would be there...with the addition of the little tortoise, of course.
If she left, Chu He would certainly be very lonely!
“Alright, girl! It’s not like you’re departing after someone’s death. You’re just heading to have a stroll. Don’t tell me you won’t be coming back after you leave?”
Chu He could resist reaching out to touch her head. He shook his head and smiled.
‘Lonely? Alone?’
Nonsense.
Chu He had never feared those two things.
He would never be scared as the book depository was not a prison. If he wanted to have a walk, he could just head out whenever he wanted to.
“Take this, open it up whenever you’re in danger.”
Zhao Yuling eventually took the pouch given by Chu He, and headed out into society.
The book depository was deserted.
Chu He grabbed a book and sat on the deck chair, rocking it while reading the book.
The little tortoise, who had grown much older, was sunbathing outside the book depository. It raised its head to look at the sky, giving some thought to its life philosophy.
It lacked energy!
One human and a tortoise-it was rather quiet.
“Come here, little tortoise.” 2
Chu He put down the book and suddenly called out.
The little tortoise’s eyes that resembled green beans turned away from the sunlight and glanced at Chu He. Then, it slowly crawled its way toward the man.
Chu He was not in a rush. The little tortoise crawled in front of Chu He’s and its two hind claws bent down, standing in a position as if it was listening.
“Do you want to cultivate, little tortoise?!”
Chu He found that he seemed to have taken a liking to the role of a tutor!
There were no other people there!
He was bored and suddenly had an urge; he wanted to give the little tortoise some advice.
After all, it was the tortoise that was going to have a race with him, to see who would live longer. He should be taking good care of it.
The little tortoise was dumbfounded. Even though it was not too sure what cultivation meant, it could still sense that it was going to be a good thing.
Hence, the head of the tortoise nodded continuously as it agreed to it.
Chu He nodded and stretched out a finger to tap on the tortoise’s head, transferring his thoughts to the animal. A miraculous message was sent to the little tortoise’s consciousness.
Chu He transmitted a technique of cultivating the body.
The level of that technique was not high, but with Chu He’s high accomplishments in martial arts, he decided that this technique was the most suitable for the little tortoise to cultivate after he analyzed it.
After all, it was not a human and was not compatible with most of Chu He’s secret manuals of cultivation. It was already quite impressive for it to have a technique that was compatible.
