"Impossible," Gui stated emphatically.
"I've met Zhao Lingfei. Your lady's cultivation aptitude is ten thousand times better than yours. Hmm, you might not grasp that comparison; let me put it this way—when I first practiced the 'Ant Ascending Heaven Technique,' I advanced to the Fu Yao Realm in just one iteration. She would need, at most, to practice it thrice."

"How could it possibly take four years? Four quarters of an hour, maybe. You must have remembered it wrong."
Zhao Rong furrowed his brow, pondered for a moment, and shook his head. "No, I haven't remembered it wrong. She started cultivating when she was ten. Before that, she had always been studying in the private school in Zhao Mansion with me. After she turned ten, while I continued my studies, she and Qian'er started their cultivation journey under my mother's and a few other mentors' guidance."
