Chapter 605: Chapter 377: Showing Off

No one expected Wei Ziang to pull this move, everyone was stunned.

Including Xiaomi.

She guessed Wei Ziang would definitely do something to prove he could join the military and ensure his safety.

But she didn’t expect it to be this demonstration.

Xiaomi had to admit that Wei Ziang was better at utilizing the Spiritual Power within his body.

She could confidently say her Spiritual Power was much stronger than Wei Ziang’s, after all, she had spatial augmentation.

However, she didn’t dare confidently say she could achieve what Wei Ziang did, controlling Spiritual Power with such meticulous precision, destroying the stone table while ensuring the delicate porcelain remained unharmed.

Of course, if she started practicing now, she was confident she could achieve it.

But like last time when Wei Ziang used spirit energy to form knife edges, this time was the same; if Wei Ziang hadn’t demonstrated in advance, she absolutely wouldn’t have thought in this direction.

It can only be said that Wei Ziang’s sensitivity to martial arts was much greater than hers, able to flexibly use various methods to utilize spiritual energy, while she herself needed reminders from him.

"Oh my, what are you doing? Where’s the table?"

Second Aunt suddenly returned, just in time to see the missing table among the group of children, exclaiming out loud.

In the instant Wei Ziang was composed and confident, he quickly rose, not forgetting to steady the teapot and teacups in his hand.

"Sorry, Aunt, the table was accidentally broken by me just now."

Second Aunt blinked and saw the pile of ash on the ground scattered with some stone fragments, indeed matching the table’s color.

"You? Broke it?"

Looking at Wei Ziang, then at the pile of ash on the ground, she found it hard to believe.

Seeing this, Xiaomi quickly ran over and supported her mother’s arm.

"Mom, Brother didn’t mean it, I’ll have someone make a new table tomorrow."

Second Aunt was a bit dizzy, waving her hand: "No, the table isn’t worth much, if it’s broken, it’s broken. But it’s made of stone, how did it end up like this?"

About that, Xiaomi didn’t know how to explain it either.

"Ahem," Jiang Yu lightly coughed: "Mom, that’s not important, Wei Ziang being impressive is a good thing, but he wants to join the military, what do you and dad think?"

Before she could process the matter of the table turning into a pile of ash, Jiang Yu’s words instantly raised her voice.

"What? Join the military?"

For the first time, Second Aunt lost her composure in front of the children, her face even turning quite pale.

Second Aunt had witnessed the brutality of the Yi tribe invasion before, killing people with fierce cruelty.

Thinking of the children joining the military and encountering such a savage crowd, Second Aunt couldn’t remain calm.

Although Wei Ziang was young, he’d been stable in Fu’an Village for several years since coming to the Jiang family.

Having lived at home for so many years, Wei Ziang naturally heard some things, knowing about Jiang family’s situation before coming to Fu’an Village.

And, because he spent more time with his elder brother, he probably knew more than the sisters at home.

Of course, others didn’t know, but Xiaomi knew quite a lot too.

So seeing Second Aunt’s face change, Wei Ziang immediately understood what the matter was.

He promptly handed what he was holding to Liu Ze, then stepped forward in strides, supporting Second Aunt on the other side.

"Aunt, rest assured, I’m not acting on a whim. These years I’ve been diligently practicing martial arts, even if I can’t make great achievements, I definitely have the ability to protect myself."

Wei Ziang spoke sincerely, coupled with the stone table’s aftermath, Second Aunt slightly calmed down.

But then another question arose: "When did you learn all this?"

Xiaomi was instantly startled inside, oh no, how to explain this, she hadn’t thought this situation would arise before.

Even Wei Ziang furrowed his brows slightly.

While Xiaomi was racking her brain for an excuse, Wei Ziang hesitated to speak: "Actually, I’m not sure, this knowledge just seemed to appear in my mind as if after a good sleep."

"???" Xiaomi was confused, what kind of explanation is this?

Second Aunt, however, seemed to understand, even asking back: "Could it be Xiaomi was always tinkering at home because you taught her?"

Wei Ziang smiled helplessly: "Don’t blame me, Aunt, I’ve carefully checked everyone at home, only Xiaomi can learn. I just thought, since Xiaomi loves running around, learning some skills for self-defense would at least ensure her safety."

Xiaomi’s eyes widened with surprise, truly never expecting Wei Ziang to be such a fast talker.

But on second thought, this excuse seemed reasonable, he lost his memory anyway, who knows who he was before, or what he remembered?

What if he was a martial arts expert before, and this was something buried deep in his memory, which resurfaced when the time came?

Thinking of this, Xiaomi nodded repeatedly: "Yes, yes, Brother taught me because I always ran up the mountain, he wanted me to be safe in case I encountered danger."

She continued with a bitter face: "But I seem to have less talent compared to Brother, practiced for so long, still not as capable as him."

Then she got excited: "Brother can even reach out ’whoosh whoosh’ to pluck flowers from afar, snapping tree branches instantly."

As she spoke, she made a throwing knife motion with her hand, not forgetting to wink at Wei Ziang, prompting him to demonstrate.

Unavoidably, Wei Ziang had to comply with everyone’s attention, lightly waving his hand toward the distant lotus leaf.

With a crisp ’snap’, a whole lotus leaf was sliced into two by thin air.

Everyone instantly drew a sharp breath, looking at Wei Ziang with disbelief, this, this was incredible!

Why had no one ever realized that this little brother next to them had secretly become so formidable?

Having seen it once before, Xiaomi was slightly more composed, directly complimenting: "Really amazing, Brother could easily take someone’s head from a thousand miles on the battlefield, gaining merit so easily."

Wei Ziang glanced at her amusingly, her exaggerated flattery needed no drafts.

Second Aunt naturally was shocked too, but receiving so much information at once was somewhat hard to digest.

After regaining her senses, she waved her hand: "Let me catch my breath first, oh Xiaowei, go bring your father back."

Xiaomi and Wei Ziang also understood the exposure of information was too overwhelming, seeing Second Aunt still somewhat dazed, not daring to say much more, obediently supporting her back to the room.

Jiang Hu was soon brought back by Jiang Wei, having probably heard the reason behind the incident on the way. After arriving home, he first inspected the stone table, then the lotus leaf, before feigning composure and returning to the room.

The siblings were waiting there for him, and as Jiang Hu arrived, they all looked at him in unison.

Jiang Hu waved his hand directly: "Go out for now, I’ll discuss with your mother."
