A day passed quickly.
Today, Wang Junze rarely skipped sword training and instead spent the entire day playing with his sister.
"Brother, why don't you come to the Cloud Mirror Sect with me?"
In the evening, after being sent back to her room, Wang Xin suddenly said.
"Don't be silly, what would I be doing at the Sect with you?" Slightly taken aback, Wang Junze then smiled and shook his head, refusing, "Do you think you've become an Elder of the Cloud Mirror Sect?"
"Brother, my master is very kind, as long as I ask her, she will definitely let you stay." Wang Xin said seriously.
"Silly girl!"
Wang Junze naturally understood that it was because the little girl saw other people laughing at him at the Martial Arts Arena in the morning, fearing he'd suffer grievances.
Reaching out to pat the little girl's head, Wang Junze softly replied, "If I can't open my veins, even if I stay at the Cloud Mirror Sect, I'd only face more ridicule."
"Who dares!" Wang Xin's eyes turned cold as she shouted sternly.
At this moment, Wang Xin seemed no longer the little girl, but the prodigious disciple of the Cloud Mirror Sect.
"In front of you, of course not, but you can't follow me around every day, can you?" Smiling, Wang Junze said softly, "Besides, do you have so little faith in your brother?"
Shaking his head, Wang Junze gently said, "I told you, I will definitely succeed in Opening my Veins on my own power, and... I promise, I won't be weaker than you little girl. Didn't brother say he'd protect you for a lifetime?"
"Brother!"
Wang Xin's eyes instantly reddened.
She certainly remembered this was the vow her brother made in front of their mother when she passed away.
However, no one expected fate would play such a joke; the genius everyone once admired failed to open his veins and became an Innate Wasted Vein.
Instead, she, the little girl who used to cry all the time, became a cultivation prodigy and joined the Cloud Mirror Sect.
"What, you don't believe me?"
Patting the Iron Sword on his waist, Wang Junze smiled and said, "Just so you know, brother is actually very strong. For the past three years, I've practiced my sword ten thousand times every day... The things I aim to achieve are things those mediocre people would never understand!"
"Do you know why, when they were mocking me this morning, I didn't respond to them?" Wang Junze explained again, "Because they're not worthy of even a bit of my time!"
"Brother, I believe in you!"
Looking up at Wang Junze's face, the little girl earnestly replied.
In her heart, her brother was always that admirable figure.
"Go to sleep now. Maybe by the time you come back next, Brother will visit you at the Cloud Mirror Sect."
Patting Wang Xin's little head, Wang Junze spoke gently.
After coaxing the little girl to sleep, Wang Junze left and quietly returned to the Martial Arts Arena, once again swinging the Iron Sword in his hand!
What he had just told Wang Xin wasn't just to appease the little girl.
For these past three years, no one believed he could still succeed in Opening his Veins, except he himself never gave up.
Others only saw his Innate Wasted Vein, mocked his pointless sword practice, but only Wang Junze understood that every swing of the sword would foster a wisp of Sword Qi that silently merged into the meridians in his body.
With ten thousand swings a day, his body had long accumulated an extremely terrifying amount of Sword Qi, just awaiting an opportunity to break open blocked meridians and directly achieve Opening Veins!
Wang Junze was unsure of how many veins he would open but was confident that he wouldn't be inferior to any of the Wang Family or any genius in Jubei City.
Wang Junze was by no means the waste others spoke of, but a true unparalleled prodigy!
The dragon hides in the abyss, only waiting for an opportunity to soar to the sky!
What he needed to do now was to continue practicing his sword until... he broke free of the cocoon and became a butterfly!
However, Wang Junze didn't know that not far away, his sister, whom he believed to have fallen asleep, was quietly watching him train...
A night passed without words.
The next morning, after Wang Junze sent his sister off, the house steward came directly to find him.
Bowing slightly, the old steward spoke softly, "Young Master Junze, the Master asked me to enquire one last time, will you hand over the Meridian Opening Pill, or leave the Wang Family?"
Slightly narrowing his eyes, looking at the old steward, the corner of Wang Junze's mouth crept into a cold smile.
His sister had just left, and his father couldn't wait to send someone to drive him out of the manor, truly ruthless.
"No need for my father to worry. I will leave the Wang Family right away."
Shaking his head, Wang Junze coldly smiled.
"Young Master Junze..."
With a sigh, the old steward softly said, "Let this old servant say one more thing: while the Meridian Opening Pill is precious, it may not help you open your veins, and many people saw Miss Xin give you the pill yesterday. Even if you leave the Wang Family... it will be hard to protect it, so why not take a step back?"
Pausing for a moment, the old steward continued, "After all, you are father and son. If you are willing to take a step back, according to the Master's arrangements, live peacefully as an ordinary person, with your status, leading a prosperous life is not an issue, isn't it better than wandering without a home?"
"Prosperous life? Do you mean letting me be a waste peacefully, so as not to embarrass the Master and the Wang Family?" Sneering, Wang Junze replied disdainfully, "Rest assured, once I leave the Wang Family, I won't have any ties with them, nor will I tell anyone I'm from the Wang Family."
Looking up, Wang Junze continued, "However, if anyone from the Wang Family tries to take my things, I will show no mercy!"
