Chapter: 2820
The father and daughter walked through the front and back courtyards, heading to He Hongsheng’s study. He Hongsheng entered the room first, followed by his daughter, He Yingxiu. After closing the door, he turned to her with a look of guilt and helplessness.
“Yingxiu, you need to forgive me for this,” he said. “I didn’t have much choice…”
He Yingxiu nodded and replied, “Dad, I know you’re thinking about the He family…”
“Exactly!” He Hongsheng sighed. “If it weren’t for the He family, I wouldn’t have made this decision. It sounds easy, but it’s hard for me, He Hongsheng…”
He continued, “Yingxiu, please don’t blame me. I want to get Ruoli back just as much as you do. You won’t have to meet with the Su family anymore. Just focus on finding Ruoli!”
He Yingxiu smiled sadly, thinking, “What can I find that’s better than what I have now? Dad is really missing the point. The He family has a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, but it’s not with the Su family; it’s connected to Charlie Wade, Ye Master.”
She knew she couldn’t say this outright, so she decided to approach the topic gradually.
Then He Hongsheng looked at her seriously and asked, “By the way, Yingxiu, I’ve noticed that your strength and overall presence seem to have improved a lot since yesterday. What’s going on?”
He Yingxiu was surprised that her father noticed. She asked, “Dad, how much improvement do you think I’ve made?”
He Hongsheng thought for a moment and replied, “Honestly, I didn’t see any major changes yet. To me, you still…”
He Yingxiu glanced at her father and asked, “Dad, what do you mean by a strange feeling?”
He Hongsheng thought for a moment and replied, “It’s hard to explain. Imagine you’re like a pool of water. From yesterday to today, the surface looks the same, so you might think nothing has changed. But I feel like the water in that pool is much deeper now, almost bottomless. It’s puzzling to me.”
He Hongsheng’s comparison was spot on. He Yingxiu had indeed changed a lot, but it was in two main ways.
First, her physical abilities had improved significantly. Her strength, speed, perception, and toughness were all much better, but these changes weren’t visible to the naked eye. No matter how keen someone’s eyesight, they couldn’t tell how strong or fast she was just by looking at her.
So, He Hongsheng couldn’t see these physical changes in He Yingxiu.
The second area where she had improved was in her energy channels. Her Ren Vessel had progressed from 50% to a high level of success, while her Du Vessel had increased from 20% to 40%.
