Infinite Awakening: My Exp Doubles Everyday novel Chapter 29

Chapter 29: Give Him To Me

After the lunch break concluded, Xiang Yu and Li Yao returned to their training ground, the afternoon sun casting dappled shadows through the forest canopy. The empress’s voice echoed in Li Yao’s mind, offering a suggestion that made her eyes light up with excitement.

[Since you want to help your senior brother train, why don’t you put on weight clothes when you spar with him? That way, you can both train simultaneously.]

Li Yao marveled at the brilliant simplicity of the idea. She hadn’t even considered it herself! This was perfect—she could assist her senior brother while simultaneously advancing her own cultivation. It was the definition of efficiency, killing two birds with one stone. Three, if she counted practicing the new sword technique she was learning.

Xiang Yu absorbed another powerful blow from Li Yao, his feet sliding backward across the packed earth. Unlike earlier encounters, he managed to stabilize his stance rather than tumbling helplessly to the ground. Though he couldn’t muster a counterattack, the improvement was undeniable—progress worth celebrating in its own small way.

As he regained his balance, a thought crystallized in his mind: his junior sister was truly a monster of talent. Even with weighted clothing hampering her movements and wielding a sword technique she wasn’t yet familiar with, she still generated enough pressure to push him to his limits. She embodied everything a protagonist should be—extraordinary talent, unstoppable growth, and boundless potential. The realization settled over him like a comfortable truth; he was training with the main character of this cultivation world.

From his private chambers atop the mountain, Elder Guo observed his disciples with quiet approval. His weathered fingers stroked his beard thoughtfully as he watched their training unfold below. After a while, he rose from his seat and departed the room, his footsteps carrying him toward the forest’s edge.

The elder stood silently at the riverbank, watching crystalline waters tumble over smooth stones with hypnotic rhythm. The Azure Cloud Sect sprawled across an impressive mountain range, each pavilion occupying its own distinct peak. His gaze drifted upward, settling on the most imposing summit of all—Celestial Summit Peak, home to the sect leader and the highest point in the entire sect.

As he contemplated the majestic scenery, a feminine voice broke through his reverie.

"Are you still worried?"

Elder Guo turned unhurriedly, his eyes meeting those of Huang Fengqi, the respected elder of Phoenix Ascension Pavilion—a branch of the sect specializing in bloodline exploration and martial physiques.

"He’s grown up now," she continued, approaching with measured steps. "He can take care of himself."

"What are you talking about?" Elder Guo responded with feigned nonchalance. "I was just admiring the scenery."

She studied him for a moment, her eyes narrowing slightly. "Is that so?"

"Yes," he affirmed, his tone leaving no room for debate.

"Uncle Master was..." she began, but before she could complete her thought, Elder Guo had already launched himself skyward.

"I’m going to cultivate," he called back dismissively as he soared away.

Huang Fengqi watched his retreating form with a resigned sigh. "This guy..." she muttered before taking to the air herself, following in his wake.

Soon after, the two elders sat together atop a secluded peak, sharing wine as they caught up on events. Huang Fengqi took a measured sip from her cup, appreciation evident in her expression.

"Looks like your brewing skills have improved," she remarked.

"Yeah, because someone keeps asking me to brew for them," he retorted dryly.

"Does that mean I helped you improve?" she asked with unmistakable cheekiness.
