The carriage procession set off again, with Xu Ning inside one of the carriages.
Xu Ning was sitting to the side with his eyes closed, resting.
Shen En looked at the other person, wanting to speak, but not daring to.
After walking for a long time, Xu Ning finally spoke: "Which son of Shen Yun are you?"
Shen En quickly replied, "The thirteenth!"
Xu Ning nodded. Calculating the time, Shen En should have been born to Shen Yun when he was in his forties. Having a child late in life, no wonder he was spoiled like this.
He then said, "Go outside and check the situation. I heard some noise!"
"Alright!" Shen En was bored, so he quickly pulled back the curtain and climbed out.
As he was peering around from the edge of the carriage, Xu Ning's foot darted out from inside and kicked him hard.
"Ah--"
"Ah! Mom!"
Shen En was kicked off the carriage and rolled around.
The caravan had to stop! Xia Ming and Sun Xiaowen, who were in the carriages behind, heard the commotion and quickly got out of their carriages as well.
"What happened?" Xia Ming couldn't help but ask.
Before Xu Ning could speak, Shen En immediately scrambled to his feet, glaring fiercely at Xu Ning: "You dare kick me? You're asking for it! I'll fight you to the death! Men, kill him!"
The guards around him immediately drew their swords and rushed forward, surrounding Xu Ning.
Xu Ning remained completely calm and looked at Shen En: "Do you think they can pose a threat to me?"
After speaking, Xu Ning's aura as a martial arts master instantly erupted.
The aura emanated from him, pushing the surrounding guards back several steps.
Shen En's mouth gaped open, and his shoulders slumped, as if he had lost all his strength at that moment.
Xia Ming's eyes gleamed with admiration, and she quickly cupped her hands in greeting: "So you are a martial arts master, senior. No wonder you are an old friend of my father. Please forgive my poor eyesight for not recognizing you!"
Xu Ning ignored Xia Ming and walked straight up to Shen En, flicking him on the forehead with his hand.
This time, the force used was so great that it brought tears to Shen En's eyes.
"Didn't you want to kill me? Come on!" With that, Xu Ning flicked him on the head again.
Shen En: "Senior, I was wrong, I was wrong!"
Xu Ning withdrew his hand and put it behind his back: "Let's continue!"
It took Shen En a long time to recover before he quickly climbed onto the carriage.
Xia Ming wanted to say something more, but seeing this, she had no choice but to shut up.
However, Shen En seemed to have a rough time after that, as Xu Ning would often kick him off the carriage.
If he didn't get up to practice martial arts in the morning, Xu Ning would pick him up and throw him out.

Shen En was furious, but dared not say anything.
That day, Shen En, who had been thrown out of the carriage again, couldn't hold back any longer: "Senior, why are you only torturing me? Why not her?"
As Shen En continued speaking, he couldn't help but point at Xia Ming.
Xu Ning walked towards the carriage with his hands behind his back, then said softly, "She's already a prodigy before she's even twenty, I can't find a reason for that!"
Upon hearing this, Xia Ming's mouth dropped open in surprise.
Shen En suddenly turned to look at Xia Ming: "Sister Ming, is what the senior said true? You actually reached the Innate Realm behind my back!"
Xia Ming felt a little embarrassed by what was said, and turned around to get into the carriage with a blush on her face.
Dejected, Shen En boarded the carriage and plopped down opposite Xu Ning, not wanting to say a word.
Xu Ning: "Don't feel it's unfair. Those people you bullied in the past didn't feel any better than you do now!"
Shen En: "I haven't done anything wrong!"
Xu Ning sneered: "Never done it before?"
Shen En trembled with fear and said dejectedly, "Indeed, I have bullied quite a few people! Senior, I know I was wrong!"
Xu Ning: "Xia Ming was born with innate talent before she was even twenty years old, and she's good at hiding her abilities. I'm afraid only a few people in the entire Da Xuan know that there's so much more hidden behind her that you don't know about!"
"When I first met you, I could see the difference between you and her at a glance. Someone like you wouldn't last three days in the cultivation world!"
Shen En was taken aback: "Senior, am I really as bad as you say?"
Xu Ning: "You must keep your abilities hidden. In the cultivation world, if your trump cards are all figured out, you'll be dead in no time!"
Shen En lowered his head: "Senior, I know I was wrong!"
Xu Ning nodded: "It's not bad that you can admit your mistakes and correct them!"
In the following days, Shen En did become much more restrained and started to settle down, making time to practice martial arts every day.
Xu Ning also began to guide his martial arts training.
With Xu Ning's current martial arts level, instructing Shen En is an overwhelming force from another dimension.
As soon as he received guidance, Shen En's cultivation technique broke through one level, and two days later, he broke through another level.
Xia Ming was alarmed by this and approached Xu Ning that day, saying, "Please, senior, guide my cultivation!"
Xu Ning couldn't help but nod: "You little girl, you know how to fight for what you want, unlike some good-for-nothings! There's really no comparison."
Shen En remained silent, but dared not speak.
However, Xu Ning then looked at Xia Ming and asked, "Girl, you're going to cultivate immortality, don't you think practicing martial arts is useless now?"
Xia Ming smiled slightly after hearing this: "Senior, martial arts are about physical training. I think having a strong physique will definitely help with cultivating immortality!"
"Furthermore, since the senior is instructing Shen En, it means that the senior also knows that practicing martial arts is helpful for cultivating immortality. After all, the senior should be a cultivator!"
Xu Ning couldn't help but laugh after hearing this, then turned to Shen En and said, "See? That's the difference!"
Shen En looked at Xia Ming with disbelief, as if he were meeting her for the first time: "Sister Ming, have you been possessed?"
Xia Ming smiled and turned to look at Xu Ning.
Xu Ning raised his hand and flicked Shen En on the forehead: "Can't you see it yet, you little brat? The way Xia Ming acted before was what she wanted to show you! Idiot!"
Shen En felt dejected, as if he were a complete waste.
Along the way, Xu Ning would teach the two martial arts every day, and their progress was rapid.
However, what alarmed Xu Ning was that Xia Ming became familiar with him and often talked to him about her elders.
Given the girl's keen observation skills, Xu Ning didn't dare to say much, fearing that she might discover some clues. Sometimes, he would try to keep quiet.
Time flies, and a month has passed in the blink of an eye.
Under Xu Ning's guidance for a month, Xia Ming successfully broke through to the eighth level of martial arts, just one level away from becoming a grandmaster.
Shen En also reached the seventh level.
At this moment, the group had arrived not far from the Qingdong Mountains.
Xu Ning jumped off the carriage and dismissed the driver and guards.
Under the bewildered gazes of Xia Ming and Shen En, Xu Ning spoke up: "Girl, Shen En, all good things must come to an end. You two should go inside first!"
Xia Ming and Shen En were both startled, and reluctance immediately appeared on their faces.
They immediately clasped their hands in greeting, saying, "We will never forget your kindness, senior."
Xu Ning waved his hand: "Martial arts are very important. Even if you cultivate immortality in the future, don't slack off! Enough talk, go!"
Shen En nodded and was about to get into the carriage when he realized something was wrong and quickly turned around.
