Chapter 39 My Territory
Chapter 39 My Territory
The suburb area of Jiangnan City is already reckoned as countryside.
Here is a small yard situated alone beside the river. Inside the yard there is a pear tree. Now is the bloom season of pear flowers. As a wind blows over, pear flowers fall slowly, every of which is dancing gracefully in the wind just like a lively elf.
Gao Ge is sitting in the yard. The yard has been slightly cleaned and some garbage has been thrown away. Yue Xincheng is busy handling the trivial matters for Gao Ge. Holding a book in one hand, Meng Jing is seated under the pear tree with a pear flower in her other hand and her eyes fixed on the book. She wanted to help, but she was stopped by Gao Ge for several times. Hence, she has no choice but to read the book.
“Here is my territory!” Gao Ge sits up with his back straight and laughs out.
This is his first property since he came back to life.
Yue Xincheng takes off his black cap on the head, flicks the dust away on it, and then puts it back on. He looks at Gao Ge who is so excited and feels rather confused. He cannot help asking again, “Boss, what good does it do to buy this house? You spent so much money on it with such a small yard. If you were not my boss, I would doubt whether you are insane.”
Gao Ge laughs.
Meng Jing puts down the book and walks towards him.
“Have you finished reciting the text?” Gao Ge asks.
Meng Jing beams, “It is quite easy.”
“Then how about you reciting the digits of pi to me?” Gao Ge says with a smile.
“Okay. You make a start for me.”
Gao Ge is speechless.
Yue Xincheng is laughing out loud beside them.
The more he looks at Gao Ge and Meng Jing, the more he believes that these two just make a perfect couple.
“You still haven’t realized what the difference between this yard and other places is?” Gao Ge asks seriously.
When he came to the yard for the first time, he felt the power of stars inside his body going seemingly faster. He didn’t figure out the reason behind it. After all, he has not found a way to fully master the power of stars by far.
Even though he had started practicing in the last life, all he had inside his body was strength but now it becomes the power of stars.
The power resource is different from before anyway.
However, it doesn’t influence Gao Ge’s judgement. He clearly realizes that significant changes have happened to this yard.
Yue Xincheng closes his eyes and takes a deep breath.
“What are you doing?” Gao Ge asks.
“I am feeling the difference of this place.”
Gao Ge ignores him.
However, Meng Jing beside him starts to speak.
“I feel that I can recite the text faster here.” Meng Jing says, “It usually takes me at least half an hour to completely recite one text. Now I only spend over 10 minutes to memorize it. When I close my eyes, the text is vivid in my mind.”
Yue Xincheng feels shocked and walks towards her. He takes up the book from her and reads it carefully for a while. Then he shakes his head.
“No, I don’t feel the same way.”
“It’s about the brain. Don’t worry.” Gao Ge says, which breaks Yue Xincheng’s heart.
Yue Xincheng has his hand placed on his heart and returns the book to Meng Jing.
“Jing, are the fruits delicious?” Yue Xincheng asks with a smile on his face.
Meng Jing nods her head, “They are much more delicious than those bought from the fruit stand. I didn’t know the wild fruits were so yummy.”
Yue Xincheng sighs, feeling she is recklessly wasting God’s good gifts. Very few people know better than him about the benefits of the fruits brought from Mount Duanlong.
Then Gao Ge checks the martial meridian of Yue Xincheng. He is surprised at the result.
When they left the Mount Duanlong, Yue Xincheng had opened 30 martial meridians. Only after a few days, another two martial meridians are opened. Now he has broken through 32 martial meridians.
It can tell that Yue Xincheng is rather talented.
In his last life, Yue Xincheng didn’t go to Mount Duanlong and still made it into the Class Earth of the Cultivation Academy after the era of aura recovery started.
In this life, with the help of the trip to Mount Duanlong, it is not a big deal for him to break through 32 martial meridians.
He wonders what achievement Xia Lu has made.
“Boss, do I need to practice any martial art method now?” Yue Xincheng asks.
Gao Ge gets stunned and asks, “Do you have any method?”
Yue Xincheng turns upset right away, “Boss, I am the second young master of the Yue Family after all. I still have some methods of martial arts.”
Saying so, he appears so proud and cocky.
Gao Ge laughs and asks him to write down his methods.
Yue Xincheng doesn’t hide anything from Gao Ge. Thus, he borrows a pen and some paper from Meng Jing and starts to write down the Yue Family’s basic method for running strength.
While Gao Ge is watching him writing, he keeps sighing.
Yue Xincheng is sitting on pins and needles beside him.
“Boss, is anything wrong with my method?” He already starts to imagine himself going deranged for practicing the Yue Family’s method.
Gao Ge glances at him and shakes his head, “No, it is just that the handwriting is so ugly that I cannot recognize the words easily.”
Hearing Gao Ge say so, Yue Xincheng is relieved and yet gets even more upset.
It is better to hear him say there is something wrong with the method.
Gao Ge bursts into laughter and comforts him, “Yet, the method is not bad. It should be counted as a middle-level mental cultivation method.”
Gao Ge thought the method Yue Xincheng knew must be some low-level or middle low-level one and didn’t expect it to be a middle-level method. It is even not easy to meet such a method on the earth even after the aura recovers, which indicates the Yue Family has accumulated quite some treasure as one of the three ancient martial arts families.
There are not many methods about running strength. The Qi conduction is one of the kinds but it is an upper-level method. After all, it is put forward through tremendous efforts by making the best use of numerous advantages and avoiding many disadvantages.
Of course he doesn’t hesitate to pass down the Qi conduction to Yue Xincheng. Meanwhile, he has made up his mind to publicize this method. Otherwise, according to the track of last life, he cannot be able to explain why he knows the method in advance after the Cultivation Academy figured it out.
After he came back to life, Gao Ge became more cautious. As to many things, he has to think ahead and be as cautious as possible in case that he gives himself away. He must act carefully as if treading on eggs before he becomes strong enough.
Though Yue Xincheng is not good at academic works, he shows a remarkable ability of understanding when Gao Ge teaches him the Qi conduction. He gets a grasp of it in no time, just as quickly as Xia Lu did. Simple and clear as the Qi conduction is, their giftedness is also very significant.
“Eh?”
All of a sudden.
Meng Jing, who is sitting under the pear tree, appears amazed.
