Chapter 60 - What The Heck Happened To You?!

"You must be Daoist Yuan. I am the Patriarch of the Xuan Family and Xuan Wuhan's father, Xuan Chao. Thank you for taking the time to visit our humble family." Patriarch Xuan clasped his hands together and bowed to them respectfully with a friendly smile on his face.

"Thank you for having me." Yuan followed his movements and returned the bow.

"Please, come inside."

Yuan and Xiao Hua then followed him into the massive building.

"Welcome, Esteemed Guests."

Two rows of servants standing parallel to each other bowed to them in unison as they entered the house.

Once they were in the guest room, the servants served them tea, and Patriarch Xuan spoke as Yuan held the teacup, "I have heard about you from my daughter, Daoist Yuan, and I must say, you are as talented as… No, you have exceeded my expectations. Reaching the Fifth Level Spirit Warrior realm at such a young age, I can only imagine how talented your Master must be."

"And I cannot help but ask, just how old are you this year?" Patriarch Xuan looked at him with clear eyes filled with interest.

"I turned 18 three months ago," Yuan responded casually.

"E-E-Eighteen?!" Patriarch Xuan exclaimed, nearly standing up from shock. Although Yuan looked young, he did not really expect him to be such a young man since appearance is the most deceptive part about Cultivators with Xiao Hua as the perfect example.

"Unbelievable... I thought you were near my daughter's age, maybe even slightly older, but alas, to think you were actually younger than her by 3 years!" Patriarch Xuan praised him without feeling any shame, even feeling a little envious of his talent.

And while he wanted to ask Yuan about his background, Patriarch Xuan did not want to appear too inquisitive on their first meeting.

It was at this moment the door to the room opened, and a beautiful young lady wearing subtle yet striking makeup entered the room.

Yuan turned around to look at Xuan Wuhan and smiled upon seeing her, "Hello, Xuan Wuhan. I have come to visit you."

"Daoist Yuan! Thank you for— What the heck happened to you?!"

Xuan Wuhan suddenly exclaimed in a shocked tone midway through her sentence, dumbfounding Yuan and Patriarch Xuan.

"Eh?" Yuan watched with wide eyes as Xuan Wuhan ran towards him in an aggressive manner.

"How are you already at the Fifth Level Spirit Warrior realm?! The last time I saw you, you were only at the first level! And that was only a few days ago!" she looked at him with a gawking face.

"What!?" Patriarch Xuan stood up from shock after hearing his daughter's baffling words. Not even a cultivating monster can improve their cultivation so quickly! Just what kind of background does Yuan have?

"W-Well… A few things have occurred since the auction house…" Yuan said with a weird smile on his face.

"You must've had quite the fortunate encounter to raise your cultivation so quickly. How envious. I also want a fortunate encounter…" Xuan Wuhan sighed loudly.

"I wouldn't call them fortunate events, though…" Yuan shook his head with a bitter smile.

"Anyway, what brings you to Spring City? Don't tell me you are here just to see me?" she asked him with flickering eyes.

"I'm meeting with my sister here," Yuan calmly responded.

"Oh…" Xuan Wuhan mumbled, feeling somewhat disappointed.

"Then how long do you plan on staying here?" she asked a moment later.

"I'm not sure, but it probably won't be long," he said.

"Do you have a place to stay? If not, you can stay here for the time being. We have plenty of guest rooms."

"That probably won't be necessary, since I will be meeting with my sister in a few hours. Thank you for the offering, though."

"Don't worry. If you ever need a place to stay, you know where to go," she said to him.

"What about dinner? It's being prepared right now," Patriarch Xuan suddenly said.

"I can stay for that." Yuan nodded.

While they waited for dinner to be ready, Xuan Wuhan asked Yuan about his activities after they separated from the auction house.

Yuan then told them about his encounter with the Demonic Spider and the Mountain Lord at Pang City.
