Chapter 395 Clues (1)

, which might make them uncomfortable.These female soldiers served as personal bodyguards to the three young women; there weren’t many, just dozens, yet this arrangement made these three much more at...Chapter 395 Clue 1

This made Free-and-Easy somewhat perplexed, unable to figure out why it seemed as if something was gradually lifting a previous suppression.

Perhaps this is because my body has grown accustomed to the environment here; previously, I wasn't used to it!

In the end, Free-and-Easy could only offer such an explanation, as there was no other plausible reason. If it were something else, he would just have to wait and see.

Recently, Free-and-Easy's progress has nearly reached the King level; these past few days, he’s been at the peak of the Duke level... Eh He has already reached the King level

Free-and-Easy had just thought that he was about to enter the King rank, but during his chat with Wang Yanyu, he advanced directly without any signs.

"..." Upon sensing Free-and-Easy's change in aura and feeling the nearby Heaven Earth Origin Qi stir because of him, Wang Yanyu looked at him strangely, as if seeing a monster.

“Just now, you entered the King rank” Wang Yanyu asked.

"Yes! It’s around this time; I thought it would be tomorrow." Free-and-Easy nodded and continued his cultivation while answering Wang Yanyu's question.

I really want to ask what kind of monster you are. Previously, when you told me about the Divine Farmer Scripture and broke through in a short period, I could understand that as storing up strength for a breakthrough or being lucky. But now, there is no sign at all before entering the King rank; it’s simply advancing directly into the King rank. This doesn’t make sense.

Wang Yanyu had never heard of such a thing: someone breaking through to the King rank level without any signs beforehand. Even the most prodigious geniuses need time to break through this barrier.

The time required for breakthrough varies; some might only need a few hours, while others require days or even weeks. Many people can be stuck at this stage for several years, or even their entire lives!

As one progresses further, they tend to get stuck longer, regardless of how talented they are. The difference is merely the duration; it's unheard of that someone would advance smoothly without any hindrances.

This situation with Free-and-Easy simply doesn't make sense at all!

“There were signs, but you didn’t notice them.” Free-and-Easy casually replied. He hadn't expected to advance today and wouldn't have been cultivating here if he had; he wanted to avoid unnecessary trouble.

If people knew, they’d ask how he did it... Ugh, just thinking about it is annoying!

That’s right, I don’t need to break through this barrier. All I need to do is accumulate strength, and when my strength reaches a certain point, the breakthrough happens naturally because my realm exceeds my strength level. My advancement only requires one thing: cultivation to accumulate internal qi.

Why would there be such discrepancies

Free-and-Easy thought about it and believed that this might be due to his speed in cultivation increasing, causing the breakthrough to happen earlier than expected; he needs to prepare better next time as he can't set a fixed timeline.

"You didn’t notice" Wang Yanyu was skeptical. She spoke while observing but shouldn’t have been so distracted. However, if it wasn’t due to her being distracted, how could this situation be explained

This seems indeed impossible; I've seen several prodigious geniuses of all ages, and even they need time for such a breakthrough. Free-and-Easy doesn't seem like an exceptional genius; otherwise, he wouldn't just have broken through to the King rank.

Forget it, let’s say I didn’t notice!

Wang Yanyu decided not to probe further as she couldn't prove anything unless Free-and-Easy advanced again in front of her. If he insists on denying, even if she witnesses the process firsthand, it wouldn’t make a difference.

"Yes, you didn’t notice!" Free-and-Easy nodded and continued cultivating. Normally, one would stabilize their strength at this point, but he still didn’t need to do so.

Stabilizing strength and cultivation look the same; she wouldn't be able to tell if I were stabilizing my strength. However, if Free-and-Easy said he was going to stabilize his strength and left as an excuse now, it would seem odd and arouse suspicion.

The last time Free-and-Easy broke through, Wang Yanyu was nearby; that breakthrough was due to potential unlocking and a significant leap in strength. She felt like he was breaking through but didn’t leave after that. If his behavior differed now, she would notice the discrepancy.

It’s best not to do anything different. Continue cultivating and accumulating strength for advancement... Who knows how many people envy Free-and-Easy's cultivation method where all one needs is cultivation without worrying about realm barriers!

If people knew about it, there would be countless individuals coming to ask him for his secrets. However, even if he told them the secrets, they wouldn't be able to learn them.

The secret of being carefree was that his realm surpassed his strength, and if anyone could reach this standard, then they would have long broken through already. Why would they come to seek out the carefree one

In truth, the carefree one simply understood realms faster than others, but he still needed to comprehend them and hadn't skipped any necessary steps that other people had to do.

He merely walked a bit faster!

The only difference was in his realm, where he surpassed others. In terms of strength, however, he lagged behind significantly. This would reduce the envy from others and bring some comfort to their hearts. It’s called having gains but losses; what use is a realm if it still lags behind us

But one couldn’t help feeling envious all the same. Following this path ensured certain results, making the journey much easier than for those who were stuck and wasted.

However, envy was useless because no one could be like the carefree one… "Carefree, let's stop here today. We'll continue tomorrow..."

Another night had ended and another day begun; nothing about this day differed from yesterday. Whether it was due to the information he received regarding that woman or entering the rank of King, his life hadn't changed.

Soon however, something else caused changes in his life… Several days after that night, carefree was sunning books on the academy platform; this was part of his daily routine, ensuring the books wouldn’t become damp and moldy.

"Aaa…"

The beast hadn't arrived yet but its voice preceded it. It barked at carefree.

"You little thing, are you here because your master is nearby" Carefree chuckled as he looked at the beast and understood that if Yunyun was present, then Xuanwu Lingxiao must be close by too.

Carefree wasn’t surprised to see Xuanwu Lingxiao; this place was an academy where many people from the Xuanwu family would come seeking books. The most sought after were martial arts manuals to help them break through or master new skills.

He also didn't think that Xuanwu Lingxiao would seek him out, as he wasn’t in such a high position. Any previous favors had already been repaid and they could only greet each other like a miss and her servant now.

For example—

"Yunyun…" Xuanwu Lingxiao came looking for Yunyun, then noticed carefree and the beast beside him. She walked over to them.

"Miss Lingxiao, good morning!" Carefree stood up and bowed politely in greeting.

"Morning to you too. Are you busy with work" Xuanwu Lingxiao nodded her head while asking.

“Yes.”

Xuanwu Lingxiao said, “I’m taking a book now and leaving. Yunyun, let’s go.” She spoke without warmth but also didn’t neglect him; just a plain tone.

"Take care!" Carefree replied casually as he turned his gaze away from Xuanwu Lingxiao to the books. He then flipped through pages for them to bask in sunlight.

At this moment, carefree focused solely on reading book contents; so many books together, memorizing one page each and flipping it over to another page. Yes, he read while working. These were his personal books that didn’t need sunning.

These were all unread books. His way of reading seemed impossible for others to comprehend; no one would think that so many pages could be memorized at once. But carefree managed it by first remembering the content, then reorganizing them in his mind. As such, each book appeared in sequence within his brain—though lacking subsequent parts—the organization was still clear.

His head remained organized, but outside things became chaotic. Someone deliberately flung books off the ground using a powerful palm strike; anyone wouldn’t believe it wasn't intentional.

There were no battles around here, and this floor wasn’t practice stone to randomly fling books away; someone must be behind it.

Carefree looked and saw a young master standing nearby. He seemed familiar to carefree who immediately understood why the young master was there.

This young master was from earlier when he had been糾纏with Xuanwu Lingxiao. His actions now were still due to her.

“Young Master, good morning!”

Carefree greeted him before going to pick up the books. Not because of his good temper but knowing that getting angry wouldn’t solve anything; he could only accept his fate.from that male-female couple there. Of course, it wasn't impossible for Fang Xunchun or Zhu Yue Princess’s partner also to have Luo Family blood, but the chances of this were extremely low—almost impo...
