On a new day, Kiana sat in the guest seat of the Taiyin Mansion, while Fu Hua sat beside her, giving her a lesson.
Fu Xuan sat in the main seat.
Because Fu Xuan was still a bit worried that Kiana was too young and lacked the temperament to manage the vast Warahip properly, she planned to stay for a few more days to provide guidance.
At the Luofu Divination Commission, the work of the Grand Diviner was being handled in an orderly fashion by Qingque. She was quite gratified, so she was no longer in a hurry to return.
Through this, Fu Xuan had completely recognized Qingque's Talents; she certainly wouldn't let her stay idle in the future.
Moreover... currently, no one held the positions of the 'Local Six Sovereigns' of Warahip, and there was a scarcity of talent in various departments. At present, it was the grassroots personnel who were handling the affairs of Warahip's various departments.
It was unknown whether the position of the Grand Diviner for Warahip's Divination Commission would be filled by a renowned family of diviners transferred from The Jade Pool Divination Commission headquarters or something else.
In fact, she quite hoped that Qingque would take up the post of Grand Diviner for Warahip's Divination Commission, but Qingque's seniority was still shallow, and she feared it would be difficult to convince the masses... "This matter is decided by the Alliance Six Sovereigns. I am merely the Luofu Grand Diviner; no matter how much I think about it, it is useless."
She shook her head, then glanced at the drowsy Kiana and sighed.
Not only was Fu Xuan having a headache, but Fu Hua was also exhausting her mind over Kiana.
Despite trying everything, Kiana still couldn't listen.
Was the material she taught really that sleep-inducing?
"Kiana..."
"Ah...? Is class over!? That's great!"
Hearing someone call her name, Kiana's sleepiness vanished instantly, and she jumped up excitedly.
If there weren't others nearby, she would likely have disappeared from the Taiyin Mansion in the next second.
Seeing no response, Kiana only felt two death stares landing on her.
Coming back to her senses, Kiana scratched her head with a silly laugh and sat back down.
"Hehehe, please continue, please continue..."
"Kiana, what I am teaching you is helpful for your management. I hope you can study seriously..." Fu Hua said earnestly.
"I know! I will definitely study hard and not let Fu Hua's meticulous cultivation go to waste!"
"I hope so..."
Seeing Kiana's serious look, Fu Hua sighed softly, then slowly stood up and changed the subject.
"Seeing that you don't have much heart for learning these things right now, I will teach you a set of martial arts to cultivate your mind and character."
"Good! This is much more interesting than boring knowledge!"
Kiana didn't hesitate for a second and agreed immediately, fearing Fu Hua would regret it and continue lecturing her on those heavenly books.
Fu Hua looked at Fu Xuan, and the two nodded to each other.
"Let's go. We'll go to the Cloud Knights' training ground. I saw yesterday that there is still plenty of open space available there."
Fu Hua finished speaking and walked outside.
"Alright~"
Kiana followed closely behind, but just as she reached the door, she saw Theresa walking in while looking down at a photo in her hand.
"Aunt?"
"Hmm...? Kiana, I was just about to look for you."
Hearing the familiar voice, Theresa looked up, then saw that the two seemed to be heading out and tilted her head in confusion.
"Where are you guys going?"
"Aunt, we're heading to the Drill Ground. Why are you in such a hurry? Is there something you need me for?"
Kiana stopped and leaned in to look at the photo in Theresa's hand.
The photo showed various vacant plots of land in different areas of the Xianzhou that were currently undeveloped.
"Do you want to choose a site from these places, Aunt?"
"Yes, these places are all quite good. Some are near Flowing Cloud Lane, and some are closer to where the Cloud Knights train. I don't know how to choose."
Theresa nodded upon hearing this, looking at the photos in her hand with a troubled expression.
"Do you have any recommendations?"
"I really don't. Why don't you go in and discuss it with Fu Xuan?"
"Sigh, alright then..."
Having not received an answer, Theresa put away the photos and continued walking inside.
"Aunt is really busy."
Glancing at Theresa's back, Kiana walked in the opposite direction... On one of Warahip's Drill Grounds, Fu Hua and Kiana stood facing each other.
In the same Drill Ground, the Cloud Knights who were originally sparring stopped their movements and looked at the two upon seeing their General and 'Marshal Hua' arrive.
"Today I will teach you a technique called Taixu Sword Qi."
"Mm-hmm!"
Kiana's eyes sparkled as she looked at the serious face of Fu Hua.
Taixu Sword Qi! If she learned this, her combat style would become much more diverse!
And that divine presence—summoning a giant sword from the heavens is super cool, okay!?
Kiana couldn't wait to start the introductory level.
Seeing that Kiana's joy was genuine and that she truly wanted to learn, Fu Hua nodded with satisfaction.
"Taixu Sword Qi is divided into the Five Omens: Heart, Form, Intent, Soul, and Spirit. The state of mind is the introductory technique, and the core is the Blade Heart Mantra, which is divided into four realms: Still Water, Dustless, Clear Mirror, and Great Void..."
Fu Hua spoke softly, explaining the martial art of Taixu Sword Qi.
At this moment, although Fu Hua's voice was not loud, her entire body exuded a profound and mysterious aura, and her temperament held an indescribable majesty.
Like a martial arts grandmaster teaching and resolving doubts, her brow was full of a maturity and steadiness that didn't match her appearance.
As Fu Hua's in-depth explanation and the teaching of the Blade Heart Mantra progressed, Kiana quickly entered the Still Water realm under Fu Hua's astonished gaze.
Currently, Kiana's eyes were slightly closed as she sat cross-legged, her consciousness having already entered her own spiritual world.
A vast blue sky, and a lake so clear that it could vividly reflect Kiana's graceful figure.
The calm lake had not a single ripple, as if it were a crystal-Clear Mirror.
"So this is the Still Water realm. I feel very calm inside, much like the state of entering Ultra Instinct."
Kiana looked at her reflection in the lake with a calm expression, lacking her usual boisterous manner.
"The progress is pretty good; it's time to move to the next stage."
Kiana's figure disappeared from the lake, and in the next moment, she woke up in reality.
At this moment, Fu Hua's heart was not as calm as her surface suggested; instead, stormy waves were surging within her.
She had just started the Blade Heart Mantra and had already crossed two realms to reach the Clear Mirror realm... What a terrifying talent!
When Kiana woke up and saw Fu Hua, who although still looked as calm as usual, was staring at her without moving, she knew the other must be stunned!
After withdrawing from the operation of the Blade Heart Mantra, Kiana smiled again, returning to her cheerful, lively, and energetic self.
Kiana stood up, patted her bottom, and then waved her hand in front of the still-dazed Fu Hua.
"My dear Teacher Fu Hua, you must be frightened by This Young Miss's talent!"
Kiana's voice rose slightly, and she raised her chin proudly, looking exactly like a little girl seeking praise from her parents.
"Uh... indeed. Kiana, your talent far exceeds others; it wouldn't even be an exaggeration to call you a genius among geniuses."
Coming back to her senses and seeing Kiana's lively and free-spirited nature, the corners of Fu Hua's mouth curled up slightly, and she didn't hold back her praise at all.
"Hehehe, it's still because Fu Hua teaches well~"
Actually being praised, Kiana felt a bit embarrassed instead.
