In terms of cultivation attainment, Cai Ning, who had practiced since childhood and was approaching the innate threshold of internal energy, seemed to be the most suitable candidate.
However, Yang Chen thought of the fact that Cai Ning had been training in Tang Sect during her childhood, and that the premise of all her inner strength was to use a concealed weapon first. There was a huge difference between this and the unrestrained cultivation of the Memory Deriving Scripture of Mount Shu, which was to put one's life on the line, and the unrestrained cultivation of the art itself. This meant that in order to guide her, she needed to change a lot of deep-rooted concepts.
Qiangwei was different. Although she had some foundation in martial arts, she was as good as paper when it came to cultivation. In addition, from Yang Chen's point of view, Qiangwei's comprehension ability was not worse than Cai Ning's. Therefore, he instructed Qiangwei in her cultivation. Although his starting point was low, his chances of success were much higher.
Once Qiangwei's training had improved, Yang Chen would dare to let his other female friends enter an unprecedented realm.
His lifespan was still immeasurably long. If he was still so young and the women around him all walked into the dusk, then he would be as lonely as snow.
Moreover, he had chosen Qiangwei, who had been by his side from the beginning. To her, it was also a form of acknowledgement.
Yang Chen did not dare to appear in the hall after he returned home. It would be bad if he scared Guo Xuehua and Nanny Wang. After landing in his room, he opened the door, walked out of his room and went downstairs.
The smell of dinner was already wafting through the hall, even though he had made a scene. But Zhen Xiu had to go home in the evening. She would take her exams the day after tomorrow, and she had to eat better.
What made Yang Chen a bit embarrassed was that Lin Ruoxi had already put on her apron and was carrying the dishes from the kitchen to the table.
On the other hand, Zhen Xiu was sitting on the sofa watching a variety show. The girl seemed to not know what had happened during the day and felt relaxed.
"You're back." Guo Xuehua walked out of the kitchen. When she saw Yang Chen, she smiled in a very natural manner, "Sit down, it's almost time to start eating."
When Lin Ruoxi saw Yang Chen, she didn't show the slightest expression on her face. After taking a casual glance, she turned around and said to Zhen Xiu, "Zhen Xiu, it's time to eat."
Zhen Xiu quickly got up, promised to turn off the TV and ran to the dining table. When she saw Yang Chen, she asked curiously, "Brother Yang, what exactly happened in the afternoon? Sister Ruoxi didn't even tell me."
Yang Chen noticed that Lin Ruoxi was looking at him with an extremely cold gaze. He understood her meaning and said, "Sister Qianni from next door isn't feeling well, there's nothing else."
"Oh …" Zhen Xiu didn't dare to ask any more questions as she was worried that this would make Lin Ruoxi unhappy. Furthermore, Lin Ruoxi didn't look that much different from the rest.
After Lin Ruoxi confirmed that Yang Chen didn't say anything that shouldn't be said, she went back to the kitchen to continue serving the dishes and didn't spare him another glance.
Yang Chen sighed in his heart. If it wasn't for Zhen Xiu's college entrance exam, Lin Ruoxi wouldn't have given him any face. It was only because she took into consideration Zhen Xiu's feelings that she pretended to be okay.
After the family sat down, they continued to eat dinner as usual.
Although they all felt uneasy, they were afraid that it would affect the performance of the examinees the next day. Everyone pretended as if nothing had happened. Coincidentally, they were all people who knew how to act, so they were able to safely pass the night.
After the meal, Lin Ruoxi helped Nanny Wang wash the dishes as usual, while Guo Xuehua kindly asked Zhen Xiu how she had been doing. Zhen Xiu was a little nervous from the question, and her silly look made Guo Xuehua burst into laughter.
Yang Chenze was worried as he thought about how he should break the deadlock with Lin Ruoxi. He waited until Lin Ruoxi finished her chores and decided to go upstairs before following her.
When they reached the second floor, Yang Chen called out to the woman from behind.
"Ruoxi, wait a moment."
Lin Ruoxi had always known Yang Chen was behind her, but she did not turn around. Only when he stopped her did she finally regain her balance.
"I know what I'm saying now, and you won't forgive me that easily. I don't want to say anything that will upset you. I just have something that I haven't given you since I got back. "
Lin Ruoxi turned around, her face as clear as a clear pond. With a trace of coldness in her eyes, she emotionlessly said, "What?"
Yang Chen smiled embarrassedly and took out a flat, yellow, round object from his pocket. It was the old pocket watch that he took from the dead FBI Director Robert.
Yang Chen walked in front of Lin Ruoxi and showed her the old pocket watch that was decorated with an antique design.
"This time when I went to America, I brought back two gifts that I wanted to give you. That pink diamond ring wanted to give it to you too, but I was afraid that Qianni would be too sad so I gave it to her. However, I will definitely keep this pocket watch for you. "Yang Chen smiled honestly.
Lin Ruoxi shot an icy glance at the pocket watch. It was a thick, old-fashioned design with no bright spots. Other than the fact that it could be rotated, there was nothing luxurious about it. The style was clearly meant for men!
Suddenly, a sneer emerged on Lin Ruoxi's face. "You really want to give me such a good gift?" Her tone was full of sarcasm.
Yang Chen said awkwardly, "This is really a good watch!" I stole it from that old man at the FBI. "
"Old man?" Snatched it? " Lin Ruoxi laughed and shook her head, "You want to give me a watch, but do you even need to tell me about the FBI? "I know you are capable. You could give me tens of millions of diamond rings at will. How could I not like what you have given me …"
As she finished speaking, Lin Ruoxi took the watch from Yang Chen's hand and held it in her hand. However, she didn't even bother to look at it as she sneered and said, "Thank you, my dear husband. Luckily you gave me a watch instead of a 'clock' …"
At last, with reddened eyes, Lin Ruoxi bit her lower lip and glared at Yang Chen. She turned around and walked back into the study room and slammed the door!
Yang Chen was rendered speechless as he stood on the spot. He sighed dejectedly and muttered to himself, "That watch is really not bad …"
As for Lin Ruoxi, who had just returned to her study room, she had just closed the door when she leaned against it and raised her head. Two streams of clear tears flowed down her face …
When she saw the man giving the diamond ring to another woman in the afternoon, she really wanted to die!
Even though she sympathized with that woman, she also wished that the girl they grew up with could be blissful, but why did it have to be the same man that they chose!?
She scolded herself countless times. If only she hadn't indulged that man in the past, the heavens would have loved to joke around.
Lin Ruoxi only knew that her mind was a mess. She didn't know if it was because she felt wronged, or if it was hatred, or something else. In short, when she saw that man, she really wanted to bite him until his blood flowed!
Lin Ruoxi had even thought about whether divorce was a form of relief …
However, if she chose to divorce him, wouldn't that mean she admitted defeat? She lost to the other women and sent the man away!?
They should all be looking forward to that day, ridiculing her behind her back for being useless. She couldn't even keep a single man around …
How could she admit defeat to those women? Lin Ruoxi immediately rejected this idea.
Even if she cursed that stinking man for the rest of her life, she would absolutely not let him enjoy it comfortably!
Lin Ruoxi tried to comfort herself with her words, but she couldn't bear to part with them in the end …
Grabbing the heavy object in her hand, Lin Ruoxi lowered her head and looked at the man's old pocket watch. That metal antique pocket watch was heavy and cold …
Lin Ruoxi suddenly felt that this watch was just like her own heart — it was working, but its coldness was hard …
Silently, Lin Ruoxi clutched her old pocket watch to her heart …
"..."
Yang Chen didn't know that giving Lin Ruoxi such a pocket watch would make a woman think about so many things.
As far as he was concerned, he couldn't think of any other way to quickly resolve the estrangement between them. He could only use "Time", this kind of all-purpose antidote.
After returning to his room, Yang Chen took a cold shower. Then he laid on his bed and started to think about how to start Qiangwei's training.
Back then, Soong Tianxing had taken him to the Main Sect and trained him directly in the [Memory Deriving Scripture]. Yang Chen wasn't proud of this technique, it wasn't something anyone could understand. If Qiangwei practiced it, the effect would be minuscule, even to the extent that Qiangwei couldn't understand it.
On top of that, he had already cultivated the Memory Deriving Scripture for more than ten years, and there was even the "Divine Light" transforming his body. Only through repeated life-and-death battles had he gained his current level of understanding.
If he let Qiangwei learn now, she might not have any fortuitous encounters, and even after dozens of years, she might not be able to see the results!
Therefore, Yang Chen felt that he should think of a more orthodox method to help Qiangwei step into the Upper Sky as quickly as possible.
As long as one entered the Innate Stage, their lifespan would exponentially increase, and all kinds of cultivation methods would suddenly become enlightened.
In the past, Yang Chen thought that Innate Stage was a fairly high level, but now, although he didn't know what level he was at, Yang Chen didn't think that it was difficult to reach Innate Realm.
What he needed was a safe and sound theoretical system.
As for whether he would be able to step into the Deity Stage after attaining the Innate Realm, it was the same as how Yan Sanniang had been unable to help him back then. He couldn't help Qiangwei either. It would depend on her own luck and comprehension.
After thinking about it, Yang Chen felt that it would be best to read some cultivation manuals on other inner force skills. As for the person who could tell him the way, the most suitable one was only Senior Nun Yun Miao from Yanjing.
Although Yang Chen was reluctant to talk to the nun, he still found Yun Miao's phone number and dialed …
