"mm, now with the completion of your task, your training for survival in the mountain range also officially end." Xiao Lie annoucing the completion of their training.

Yuanba and Lingxi can"t help to contain their happiness as they shouted out.

"now all of you can go home and have a rest as there is an important things that I want to talk to all of you." After said that, Xiao Lie turn back and left the group.

"yes, thank you grandpa." Xiao Che bowed again to Xiao Lie.

"yeaayy, finally! I"m gonna take a loong and nice bath to my heart content." Xiao Lingxi said it as she really miss to take a warm bath.

"yes, I"m also miss the delicious food at my home." Yuanba saying it while drooling.

"wait a minute, I need to talk about something first. Espescially to the two of you." What Xiao Che said wake the two up from their daydream.

"Noooo. Can"t you just save it for now and told us tommorrow ?" Xiao Lingxi begging Xiao Che.

"No, it can"t do, I need to say this as the team leader. Be patient and listen to me now Little Aunt." Xiao Che didn"t comply with Lingxi request.

"okay, okay. Say that piece of your mind." Xiao Lingxi can only obey it.

"First, Yue"er. For the last battle, you really done a good job, I didn"t have much to say to you." Xiao Che praising his fiancee.

"thanks." Said Qingyue a little blushed.

"next, Little Aunt. Your sword skill is fast and accurate, in addition of your nimble footwork, you should be able to withstand your ground even for a long time under the a.s.sault of multiple wild wolves. You need to be cautious of your surrounding and never be careless." Xiao Che evaluating the previous battle.

"do you understand Little Aunt ?" Xiao Che wanted to confirm that Lingxi pay attention to what he said.

"yeah, yeah, I understand Little Che." Said Lingxi a little didn"t care about what Xiao Che said.

" no, really. You don"t understand. Do you even consider about what could happen to you if there us no Little White ? Can"t you understand the graveness of your mistake ?" Xiao Che can"t help but reprimand his Little Aunt.

"but, there was you, you will protect me right ? Or you mean that you don"t want to care about me anymore ?" Xiao Lingxi eyes got teary because of Xiao Che"s reprimand.

Seeing his little aunt, he can"t helped himself to become strict to his little aunt.

"it"s not like that... siighhh... listen to me carefully. You are my precious little aunt, of course I will protect you... even with the cost of my life I will still protect you. But... if I am really dead after protecting you, what would happen then ? If you can"t even defence yourself, won"t my death just become in vain ? At least... please... you have to be capable of defending yourself." Xiao Che take another way of approach to make Lingxi become more cautious in a soft way.

"no... no, you can"t die and leave me... sob, sob... I don"t want... Little Che to die... sob, sob... I will become strong, so... don"t die okay... waahhhh!!!" now Xiao Che really didn"t expecting to his little aunt to cry because of him.

Seeing what this is have turned out to be, Xiao Che got speechless and didn"t know what to say.

But he saw that Qingyue staring at him... jealously ? Xiao Che knew that he need to say something. "and for you too Yue"er. I will protect you with my life." Xiao Che said it with a gentle and soft voice but his eyes saying it that he is not kidding around.

After a while, Xiao Lingxi calmed down and Xiao Che continued his evaluation.

"and last, Yuanba." Said Xiao Che while shifting his eyes to meet Yuanba eyes.

"p-please big bro, don"t be too harsh to me." Yuanba got a little scared to his Big Brother-in-law.

"no, you need to know your mistakes. Got yourself in danger because of didn"t cautious enough is one thing, and got yourself in danger because of underestimating your enemy is worse." Xiao Che really didn"t hold back.

"you underestimate your enemy because it"s weaker than you, you didn"t even bother to the enemies attack and worsely let yourself wounded."

"what do you think would happen if the Nascent Profound Realm Grey Wolf suddenly attack you ? you would have suffer a grave injuries by only one sneak attack from it. Then with the wild wolves surrounding you, you can only struggle with your life." Said Xiao Che reprimanding Yuanba.

"I-I"m sorry big brother che." Xia Yuanba apologize with his head hanging down and staring the ground.

"you don"t need to apologize to me, and Yuanba, raise your heads up." Xiao Che know when he need to stop in reprimanding someone.

"listen to me carefully, and carve it deep inside your heart." Xiao Che talking while directly staring into Yuanba"s eyes.

"You have a special things that everyone didn"t have. You... have a kind and pure heart that many people in this world didn"t have, but at the same time... You also have an Emperor"s heart, heart of a ruler who rules far above everyone else.You need to have a dignifed bearing... to your family, you will protect them till the last drop of your blood... to your enemies, never you show a mercy..."

"when you fight, fight like an emperor, with overbearing presence, never look down on your opponent, and, never let them, to look you down... that is how an Emperor fight... and that... is the Emperor"s way."

When Xiao Che done with his words, the light in Yuanba"s eyes changed as the light in his eyes become clears and full of determination.

"that is all the things that I have to say. And the last, Good work everyone. All of you really have worked hard. And I"m really grateful to have you trusting in me to lead you all." Xiao Che said this with a face full of smiles.

"take a good and nice rest. See you again tommorow."

After Xiao Che said that, Qingyue and Yuanba also said goodbyes to Xiao Che and Lingxi.

When Qingyue and Yuanba walked back to their house, Yuanba suddenly stopped and talked to his big sister.

"big sis. Right now, and from now on... In my eyes... Big Brother Xiao Che is the most amazing person in the whole world." His eyes full of worship to his big brother-in-law.

"mn... me too..." Xia Qingyue feels something that he never felt before, when she heard someone praising her fiancee. It makes her feels really happy than someone praising her directly and make her chest feeling really proud of her fiancee. "that"s right, he is my... fiancee" Qingyue said it with a really little voice.

Xiao Clan, Xiao Che"s courtyard, bathroom.

"aahhhh... This feeling while dipped inside tube of warm water after a hardwork is really the best." Xiao Che feels full bliss as he closing his eyes fully enjoyed the bath.

"now I"m 12 years old, the four of us really working really hard to the bone with grandpa training us with all of his abilites." Xiao Che thought to himself.

"Yue"er"s talent is really top notch, as she now is already First stage Nascent Profound Realm."

"maybe, Little Aunt"s talent is also stimulated by Yue"er and me plus Yuanba, as she now having a spurt of growth to her profound strength and it looks like not going to stop for a while. I guess she will have another breakthrough in a few weeks and entered Eight stage Elementary Profound Realm."

"as for Yuanba, seeing his determination in his eyes before, I hope it will awaken his Tyrannical Emperor"s Divine Veins."

"and me... I guess it"s quite too wishful hoping to have a faster breakthrough in profound realm while I"m focusing in my body strength."

"if my pace got averaged, it"d take around one year for me to have a breakthrough in profound strength. It"s getting harder and harder after each level and it only thanks to increasing my intensity of my training that I can barely have a breakthrough every year." Xiao Che thought to himself in thinking about the current situation

"but even though with my average profound strength level and my weights still on. I can beat Nascent Profound Realm early level if I entered my State of Zone." Xiao Che thought as he feels like his hardwork didn"t betray him.

"I think I"m gonna hit the bed already as I feel really tired after the training in the mountains." Xiao Che mumbling to himself.

After he got out from the bath and changing his clothes Xiao Che the sleep peacefully on his bed.
