Chapter 1148: Chapter 1194: Developing Jiang Ningxiang

After Su Yiyi came back, she took Jiang Ningxiang and her classmates for a stroll about the yard and then they had a sumptuous dinner.

The architecture and gardens within the compound, as well as the restaurant that could rival a five-star hotel, made Jiang Ningxiang’s classmates feel as if they were Granny Liu entering the Grand View Garden.

And after arranging a place for them to rest, Li Yifei called Jiang Ningxiang to his study.

"Ningxiang, have a seat," Li Yifei beckoned, his attitude very kind.

Following his words, Jiang Ningxiang sat down opposite Li Yifei, and said somewhat nervously, "Brother Li, did you want to see me for something?"

Li Yifei nodded, "Indeed, it’s something important, and it concerns your whole life."

"Ah?" Jiang Ningxiang stared at Li Yifei in astonishment, then her face flushed with a sudden blush, and she stammered, "Brother Li... I... I..."

Li Yifei broke a sweat and said, "Ningxiang, you’ve got the wrong idea, Brother Li is talking about serious matters."

Jiang Ningxiang’s face blushed even more, and she replied coyly, "Brother Li, what is it about then?"

Li Yifei stood up, lit a cigarette, and said, "Ningxiang, do you know why you have such a special constitution?"

"I don’t know. Do you, Brother Li?" Seeing that Li Yifei is referring to her constitution, the flush on Jiang Ningxiang’s face faded.

"I do. It’s because you have a constitution with Innate Vital Energy. To put it simply, there is a very powerful force within you, but you don’t know how to use it. It only manifests in emergencies, like when you saved Yiyi last time; that was the power inside you at work."

"Oh, so that’s how it is." Jiang Ningxiang still looked a bit puzzled at Li Yifei, unsure what he intended by telling her all this.

Li Yifei took another drag of his cigarette and then stubbed it out. "A constitution like yours, Shanshan has as well, and Shanshan can already use this ability stemming from her constitution."

Jiang Ningxiang said excitedly, "Brother Li, so you mean to teach me how to harness this constitution?"

Li Yifei nodded, "Yes. Initially, Shanshan planned to accept you as her disciple when she got back. But I feel that developing your Innate Vital Energy earlier isn’t a bad thing, so I’m taking you on as her disciple for now."

Jiang Ningxiang replied even more excitedly, "That’s wonderful, I’ll have a master then."

Li Yifei smiled slightly, "If you are willing, then there’re no issues."

"Of course, I’m willing! I hope to become very strong, so no one can bully me anymore. And... later on, I can help Brother Li with some things too."

Hearing Jiang Ningxiang say this made Li Yifei feel a bit ashamed. "Ningxiang, to be honest, I’m also a bit selfish. Those two talent scouts today, they are actually experts, and they noticed you possess Innate Vital Energy, that’s why they approached you. I’m not sure what their motives are, but I truly hope you can help my family with some things in the future."

"So that’s how it is. But Brother Li, since I’ve grown up, you’ve been the best to me. Without you, I wouldn’t know what would have become of me. So, no matter how others treat me, I’ll only follow you, Brother Li, and I definitely won’t go with anyone else."

"Heh, you don’t blame your Brother Li for being selfish?"

"Why would I? Brother Li, you’re also doing this for my sake. Anyone might harm me, but Brother Li definitely won’t. I trust you, Brother Li."

Li Yifei then felt greatly comforted. "Since you think like this, then I am relieved. Today, I’ll teach you some basic introductory techniques. To be honest, I don’t quite understand Innate Vital Energy myself. Shanshan also inadvertently acquired Innate Vital Energy, and moreover, she gained the ability to use this Innate Vital Energy, which I don’t possess."

"Brother Li, you’re so powerful, yet you don’t have Innate Vital Energy?" Jiang Ningxiang asked playfully.

"Yes, I don’t. You should know, if you fully utilize this Innate Vital Energy, even I might not be able to beat you."

"No way, is it that powerful?" Jiang Ningxiang looked at Li Yifei in amazement.

"Yes, but it always takes some time. Come, I’ll start teaching you."

The technique Xu Shanshan acquired in the desert had been thoroughly studied by Li Yifei. Although it was not very useful to him, he had memorized every detail, so it was effortless for him to explain it to Jiang Ningxiang.

The first step was to teach Jiang Ningxiang how to control this Innate Vital Energy, to make it serve her own purposes.

Compared to Xu Shanshan, Jiang Ningxiang’s Innate Vital Energy seemed even purer, but as for its magnitude, Li Yifei was not sure.

Because it’s so pure, the learning isn’t worse than that of Xu Shanshan, but Li Yifei finds teaching it much more exhausting.

The reason is simple, when Xu Shanshan received this technique, she didn’t understand anything either, it required the circulation of some internal True Qi. Between Li Yifei and Xu Shanshan, there are no taboos, so he could guide her by hand and freely touch her body to demonstrate the pathway of True Qi.

However, Li Yifei and Jiang Ningxiang obviously don’t have that kind of relationship, and currently, Li Yifei doesn’t want to get involved with this little miss, so there are many concerns, making the teaching inherently troublesome.

More than two hours later, Li Yifei managed to get Jiang Ningxiang to understand a bit, then asked her to practice on this basis for the time being and would teach her slowly in the future.

After Jiang Ningxiang left, Li Yifei returned to the bedroom, where Li Xinyue and Lin Qiong were chatting on the bed.

"Hubby, are you done so soon? That’s not your style," teased Li Xinyue with a smile.

Li Yifei laughed as well: "Don’t tease that little girl Ningxiang. I was teaching her martial arts."

Lin Qiong rolled her eyes at Li Yifei and said, "If you have the time, why not teach me properly instead of that girl? You clearly don’t have good intentions."

"How have I not taught you? You’ve been following along and practicing quite a bit recently, and your strength has improved dramatically. But Ningxiang has the same type of Innate Vital Energy as Shanshan. Today, I encountered two people who also knew about Ningxiang’s Innate Vital Energy, and I’m afraid that if they snatch her away, that would be troublesome."

"Ah? There are such people?" Lin Qiong immediately sat up, her expression turning quite grave. As a police officer, she is instinctively sensitive to potential dangers. After Xu Shanshan acquired Innate Vital Energy, the change in her strength was something Lin Qiong knew all too well. Now that two individuals who were aware of the Innate Vital Energy had appeared in Mile City, it meant that there could be instability brewing.

"I’ve already sent someone to investigate them, and I am a bit worried myself."

Li Xinyue quickly said, "We indeed should look into this thoroughly. If it comes to it, have Shanshan come back home. Having two more experts in the family would make things safer."

Li Yifei shook his head and replied, "That’s not necessary for now. I’ve never encountered anyone with Innate Vital Energy other than Shanshan. It’s only after Shanshan learned it that I knew such people existed. Those who possess Innate Vital Energy probably won’t reveal themselves easily, nor will they act rashly."

Lin Qiong continued, "Then you really should train Ningxiang sooner. Right, keep her close to you and, if need be, take her under your wing."

Li Yifei was suddenly at a loss for words and said, "You used to give me the cold shoulder, and now you have such thoughts?"

Lin Qiong said seriously, "Times have changed. Besides, that girl Ningxiang is indeed very important to our family. We can’t let her be an advantage to others. If she becomes your enemy, it means we’ve missed out on an expert and needlessly gained a powerful foe - we’d suffer losses on both ends."

Li Xinyue also added, "Yeah, we really can’t be careless. No matter what the relationship, it’s not as reassuring as having our own family around."

Li Yifei shook his head and said, "No need. Later on, I’ll have Shanshan take Ningxiang as her disciple. That kind of relationship should suffice. I’d rather focus my energy on taking care of my current wife." Then he jumped onto the bed with a smile.

Lin Qiong kicked out, saying, "Go take a shower first, don’t think about getting into bed without washing up, that’s not happening."

Li Yifei laughed heartily, "Wife, wait for me to come back clean, and I’ll take good care of you both."

After having the bath, Li Yifei lay down in the middle of the two women, and Lin Qiong said, "Hubby, the department has arranged for me to go on training soon, which might last for three months."

"What training?"

"It’s an internal training within the Public Security System; it’s also a kind of experience."

Li Xinyue immediately chimed in, "That’s a good thing. Usually, those with opportunities for advancement are the ones who go for training. It seems you’ll be promoted soon."

Lin Qiong shook her head, "Not really. It’s normal for someone at the department head level to go for training. But I was promoted so fast, I never had such training even when I became the bureau chief."

Li Yifei quickly said, "Since it’s normal and good for your future, you should go. Heh, I actually hope you achieve a higher position; that would make our family even more impressive."

Lin Qiong gave Li Yifei a sidelong glance, "Your flattery is excessive; even if I attain a higher position, I won’t use my power for personal gain. I am a police officer, and at all times, maintaining social stability and protecting the people’s safety and property are my top priorities."

"Absolutely, my wife is the most principled. I like that about you. If you hold a higher position, you can create even greater benefits for the people. I fully support you."

Lin Qiong smiled contentedly, then suddenly flipped over on top of Li Yifei, "Hubby, I’ll be leaving in a few days, so you better take good care of me tonight!"

Li Yifei laughed heartily, "No problem! I’ll make up for the next three months all tonight."
