132: Reunion
Upon arriving at the destination, Zhou Xing found his younger sister, Zhou Keer, sitting by the pool, her bare feet soaking in the emerald-green Water of Life.
Sitting next to her was a woman, and Zhou Keer was currently chatting happily with her.
Zhou Xing recognized the person immediately as Lin Yue—no, she should be called Li Yue now.
“Brother!”
Hearing footsteps, Zhou Keer immediately turned around and saw the brother she had been thinking about day and night. She stood up in surprise and rushed toward him.
“Stop. You're how old now? Don't you know that men and women should keep their distance?”
Watching his sister rush toward him, Zhou Xing pressed down on Zhou Keer's head and spoke with feigned seriousness.
“Hmph, you're my dearest, dearest brother. I don't care about those things.”
As she spoke, Zhou Keer seized the opportunity and suddenly lunged into Zhou Xing's embrace.
Soon, sounds of sobbing came, and she looked up, tears streaming down her face: Brother, I missed you so much.
Zhou Xing gently patted his sister's shoulder and softly said, “I missed you too. How have you been? Are there any issues with your health lately?”
“No, but Godmother says my physical condition is improving every day. It has already reached the intensity of the Celestial Phenomenon Realm Early Stage.
Once my divinity fully Awakens, I might directly become an Awakened One at the Celestial Phenomenon Realm Middle Stage or even Late Stage. Then I can protect you, Brother.”
Zhou Keer shook her head vigorously and said proudly.
“System, is Keer's condition normal?” Zhou Xing secretly asked the System.
“host, rest assured. Your sister's situation is completely normal, and her physical strength is steadily increasing.”
The System's reply allowed Zhou Xing to breathe a sigh of relief. Moreover, his sister no longer needed to use attribute-less divinity crystals for suppression, indicating that his Godmother's healing methods were very effective.
“Hey, does a certain someone only have eyes for his sister and can't see me?”
At this moment, Li Yue's voice came from the side.
Only then did Zhou Xing turn to look at Lin Yue.
This time, she had changed from her usual battle attire, wearing a simple floral dress with her silver hair casually tied into a ponytail, looking beautiful and fresh.
“Of course I saw you. Thank you for making the effort to come and keep Keer company.”
Zhou Xing and Li Yue exchanged glances, and his heart couldn't help but speed up. He forced himself to speak calmly.
“Sister Yue comes to visit me basically every two or three days, and she brings lots of delicious food every time.”
Zhou Keer interjected, giggling.
“Your 'thank you' is really perfunctory. Forget it, I'm too lazy to argue with a dullard like you. Speaking of which, I remember that no one is allowed to leave the Special Training Camp during the first year. You didn't sneak out, did you?”
Li Yue slightly furrowed her brows at this moment, looking at Zhou Xing with some concern.
“I came with our Mentor, Yue Hua, so naturally, there's no problem.”
Zhou Xing said, then fell silent.
He had many things he wanted to say in his heart, but he didn't know how to express them.
It was Zhou Keer, seizing the opportunity to chat, who finally got the three of them talking casually.
An hour later, Yue Hua's voice came, “Zhou Xing. We should head back.”
“Ah? So soon?”
Zhou Keer instantly looked a bit downcast, grabbing her brother's sleeve with reluctance.
Zhou Xing was naturally reluctant too, but they had been out long enough, and if news spread, it would make things difficult for the Training Camp: “Be good, Keer. Brother will be able to come out anytime soon. You must listen to Godmother here, and absolutely mustn't run around.”
He then turned to Li Yue, opened his mouth, but only managed to squeeze out: “Well... you... take care.”
Li Yue stomped her foot in exasperation: “You really are a dullard.”
“I...” Zhou Xing's Face flushed crimson. Finally, he pulled a Divine Battle Armor out of his Myriad Manifestation Divine Crystal and handed it to Lin Yue, “This is for you.”
This Divine Battle Armor was a Wind-attribute Divine Battle Armor of the Celestial Phenomenon Realm level that Zhou Xing had selected from the Kunlun Treasury, which was within the scope of the authority granted to him monthly by The Officials of Xia Country. Once activated, no one below the Law Realm could break its defense.
Lin Yue was also a bit stunned at this moment. She could feel the aura on the Divine Battle Armor, which originated from the same divinity as the god of wind control.
Just as she was about to say something, Zhou Xing had already turned and left with Yue Hua.
Before leaving, he specifically went over and greeted Liu Shuyun.
“This idiot!” Li Yue held the Divine Battle Armor, feeling both annoyed and amused.
Zhou Keer covered her mouth and snickered on the side: “Sister Yue, you know my brother is a block of wood. Because of me, he hasn't interacted with any other girls. You need to be more proactive.”
Li Yue sighed and ruffled Zhou Keer's beautiful hair: “But knowing how to give gifts is some progress.”
On the way back to the Training Camp, Yue Hua suddenly spoke: “That girl, Li Yue, is quite good.”
Zhou Xing nearly fell out of the air: “Mentor... I... we aren't...”
Yue Hua smiled meaningfully: “His father is Li Rui, you should know that, right?”
Zhou Xing nodded. He had already learned this clearly from his Godmother.
Li Yue's father was notoriously hot-tempered among the many Demigods of The Watchers.
It is said that an Awakened One at the Control Peak rashly pursued Li Yue years ago, and Li Rui directly slapped him away. He didn't give Face at all, even though the other party also had a Demigod backing him.
His daughter was the apple of his eye, and few men could catch his attention.
“You don't need to worry. Just let nature take its course. With your talent, if Li Rui isn't willing to accept you as a son-in-law, then he won't find anyone suitable on the entire Blue Star.”
Yue Hua said meaningfully, “However, your current strength is still too low. When you reach the Celestial Phenomenon Realm or even the Law Realm, there will be countless people wanting you as a son-in-law. I don't believe Li Rui will be able to resist.”
No one would refuse to get closer to a Genius like Zhou Xing.
It's just that she doesn't have a daughter; otherwise, she would definitely arrange for them to meet. After all, Zhou Xing is not just a simple Three-Attribute user.
Although Jiang Ming didn't say much to her, Yue Hua knew very well that a Three-Attribute user wouldn't be worth the personal attention of Jiang Ming, the leader of The Watchers.
Zhou Xing definitely still holds significant secrets.
Of course, she didn't intend to investigate; everything would happen naturally.
Combining what Zhou Xing and Elder Fu said today, it actually implicitly confirmed some information.
If Three-Attribute isn't the limit, then Zhou Xing might have hidden divinities besides the three exposed ones: Ice, Fire, and Healing.
As for how many he hid, that was unknown... Under Yue Hua's guidance, the two returned silently to the Training Camp without attracting anyone else's attention.
Although Zhou Xing's own strength could continuously improve with the help of the System, the facilities in the Training Camp were extremely helpful to him.
During this time, many students had already begun trying to earn points by going through the Challenge Tower, which they then used to access other facilities to improve themselves.
In the 99-story Challenge Tower, the points gained multiplied exponentially as the challenge difficulty increased.
And Zhou Xing planned to tackle the Challenge Tower next, to gain more combat experience against various Mutated Beasts.
