Path Of Sword Master

firttt ent back to his room, as soon as he returned from the forest, he first showered and wore a set of new clothes, which looked scholarly, he then asked the maid Xiao Chu if his parents had lunch yet, to which she replied that they will soon start.

Li Jie asked her to make arrangements for him too, as he will be joining his parents for lunch today.

The maid Xiao Chu nodded and took out a talisman, in which she instructed something to the person listening from the other side.

These talismans were used to talk to people at long distances, they work for almost a year, after which a new talisman for calling is bought.

Such talismans are quite expensive, but for those of the great family, it is simply a drop in the ocean.

Li Jie then went out and was going towards the dining room, where his mother, father and his younger siblings will be present.

As soon as he entered, he first washed his hands and then he got ready to eat, whereas his mother and father both were already sitting on their seats, and it felt like they were waiting for someone, the food was ready but they were waiting.

When they saw Li Jie, their faces beamed with happiness, and joy, they asked him how he was doing, and how far he has gotten in his cultivation, they could feel from their son's physique, that he has already reached the Grandmaster stage, which was very surprising for them, after all even those with low grade bloodlines take years to just reach Grandmaster stage, whereas the matter of him reaching this stage was commendable, considering how he doesn't even have a bit of bloodline.

Bloodlines have two major supporting roles in the path of cultivation, first is that with the help of bloodline, a humans physical attributes increases automatically without much training, and with training of course they could become more strong.

The second major role of bloodlines are that with their help, a human can easily attune to the attributes that they are born with, it becomes easier for them to sense essence energy, the higher the grade of bloodline, easier it is for them to sense essence energy, this is also the reason why Li Jie hasn't been able to sense any essence energy or else he would have already broken through to the Essence Gathering stage a long time ago.

Besides these two roles, there were many other advantages too of having a bloodline, but those advantages only increase with the increase in grade of bloodline.

While Li Jie was talking to his parents, suddenly the door of the dining room opened, two young figures can be seen who had dirt on their clothes and some of it was smeared on their faces.

These two figure of a male and female were none other than the younger twins of Li Jie, Li Shuangyan and Li Zhengji.

Both of them were not allowed to cultivate for reasons unknown, they could spar or train in basic martial techniques but they were forbidden from cultivating, unless their parents allow them too, while Li Zhengji wasn't a big fan of cultivating, all he wanted was to eat and sleep, sparring with someone was also something he liked, but anything too complicated wasn't favored by him, unlike his elder brother, he was not as bright as Li Jie, which actually made his parents joyful about his personality, because they always had trouble interacting with Li Jie, who was too intelligent for his age, they couldn't solve his problems or his difficulties by talking to him, they had soon realized that their eldest son was just too intelligent and he would solve his problems and difficulties himself, and now finally with Li Zhengji, they could have a child who was a normal kid, whom they can take care of by themselves.

Whereas Li Shuangyan was a headache for them and for the whole family too, she was stubborn and had some sort of love towards cultivation, she wanted to start cultivating, as soon as possible but she was sternly stopped by her parents, when she asked them why couldn't she, they didn't say the reason, the only thing they said was that only when they turn 11 years old, can they start cultivating, after some persuasion, did she finally agreed to not cultivate until she gets to the age of 11 years old.

She always wondered why her brother gets to cultivate since young, but not them.

What both of the twins never knew was, that their parents had decided this out of love for their kids, they didn't want their kids to cultivate so soon, because they know concerning the twins talent and bloodline, it's fair to say that if they were to cultivate, their strength would increase by leaps and bounds without any bottlenecks, this is also one of the reasons why their parents didn't want them to start cultivating but let them be innocent and oblivious to the world of cultivation.

Li Jie was told by his master that his younger twins had topmost grade of bloodline, on top of which they have special physiques, which is as rare as dragon's horn and phoenix's feather.

So he doesn't have to worry, infact there were times where Li Jie finally felt envious and understood what being truly talented means, because inspire of not cultivating even once, his younger twins had strength equivalent to the strength of his body, without any hardwork or opportunities, their strength increased just by sleeping and eating, Li Jie was obviously happy but he also couldn't help but be envious of their talent, while he had to work hard and risk his life, his younger brother and sister just had to eat and sleep.

"Shuangyan, why are you and your brother covered in dirt, you know I don't mind you kids playing, but atleast wash up before joining us for a meal, look at your elder brother, he always comes to us, only after getting a shower, it's hard for me to even tell where he has been", said Li Na in annoyance.

"Mother, I just wanted to spar a bit, after sparring with others in our family, it's hard to find someone as strong as us of our age, as for those who are older than us, they somehow try to avoid us, is it your doing mom, dad", asked Li Shuangyan with a fierce gaze.

Looking at their daughter, who is a headache for them, it's obvious that those who are older than them wouldn't want to spar with them, in case they want to be humiliated.

Unlike with Li Jie, everyone in the Li family fawn over the twins, while they do not know much about their talent, but it is easy to tell how different they are from their elder brother, but due to some reason the patriarch and the mistress do not want them to cultivate yet, which made them dissatisfied, because having such talented kids, those of Li family can show off infront of the outsiders, but alas they cannot get that chance now, maybe later but not as of current.

"Father, Mother, I would like to join for the entrance examination of the academies that will be conducted this year.

Listening to their son, Li Wei and Li Na both suddenly stopped eating, suddenly the whole room felt tensed, the patriarch's brows were scrunched up, while the mistress also had a solemn expression on her face.

Feeling such a tense atmosphere, which has never happened made both Li Shuangyan and Li Zhengji gulped, they felt pressured by such a turn in the atmosphere, both of them could feel their father and mother's raging aura, which made both of them sweat, whereas the maids also were terrified.

When Li Zhengji turned his face to look at his brother, whom he thought must be terrified too, after all he was the one on whom the auras of both his parents were directed towards, but when he looked at his elder brother, he couldn't believe, while everyone was struggling for breath, his elder brother was leisurely eating his meal, unaware of the pressure exerted on him.

Both the twins and the maids were worried for what will happen next, "Father, Mother I have worked hard for the upcoming entrance examination, I have to join it, I hope you can consider my hard work and feelings", said Li Jie in a humble manner.

Looking at their eldest son's determined face, made both of them feel worst, they didn't want their son to face danger, they wanted him live a carefree life without any worries, but they also understood that their son was someone hardworking and determined, without any kind of talent, he reached the Grandmaster Stage, but what they were surprised most about was that Li Jie was subconsciously fending off their aura with his sword intent, which was extremely shocking to them, because they knew how hard it was to give birth to an intent in one's mind, and only those of Reality Acceptance Stage and above can comprehend intent.
