Walking towards the young beauty seemingly taunting him, the immortal-like young man smiles before looking back at the ladies gathering around the table he is previously on, said ladies looking at him with cheering and confident eyes as if they think that there's nothing that can top his answers to the young beauty's question.

After taking one last look at the beauties, the immortal-like young man continues walking, eventually standing just right in front of the young beauty and her mature beauty of a guardian, her aunt, his expression that of someone who is just about to do a menial task that he is already so used to doing.

"You said that your named Dongfang Jing right? Then miss Jing, before I answer your question, why don't you tell me first what you think the Dao is?" looking at the young beauty sitting in front of the table with him at the opposite side of it, Su Xiaotian asks with the same confident smile on his face, the words coming out of his mouth surprising not only the young beauty but her guardian as well.

Looking at the immortal-like young man, the young beauty couldn't help but stare at him with a sort of hostile gaze as he time and time again already defies what she thinks people are supposed to do when standing in front of her, even going as far as straightly branding him as the sort of man who is a natural enemy to her.

Holding such emotions inside her though, she decided to take a deep breath before looking towards the immortal-like young man eye to eye, her gaze allowing her to completely observe the appearance of this man in front of her, causing her to get stunned for a moment as she takes in the complete appearance of his face.

It is not only her that experienced such thing though as even her aunt, along with the ladies occupying the top floor of the restaurant couldn't bring themselves to look away from the Su Xiaotian's face as well, reveling on their imaginations as they starts thinking of all sorts of scenarios where they are together with this young man, the greatest genius of the continent so far.

Being one with greater will when compared to most geniuses of this world though, the young beauty manages to shrug off such feeling far quicker than anyone else on the same generation as her, such experience causing her to think even lower of the immortal-like young man as she thought that he uses a charm technique on her.

"Humph!! You're really underhanded huh…" the young beauty said with a hint of anger on her voice and expression while looking at the immortal-like young man, clearly expressing her negative impressions of him through this action of hers.

"I wonder what you are talking about Miss Ji─" hearing such words from the young lady, Su Xiaotian couldn't help but frown as he looks at her to inquire about the meaning of her words, but got even more annoyed at this lady suddenly dragging him into this when she interrupted his words, his mind already branding this one as an unreasonable and rude lady who focuses more on herself rather than anyone else.

"Shut the hell up, stop pretending in front of me, you want to hear what I think about the Dao right? Then I'll start my discussion now" the young beauty said with a bit of pride plastered on her face as she starts speaking without waiting for any words from the immortal-like young man, her words putting nearly all of the more intelligent ones among the geniuses that discusses previously into a trance, clearly showcasing her superior comprehension when compared to those people.

As she continues to discuss, most of the people already fall into an enlightened trance, causing her to look even more proudly as she tauntingly smiles at the immortal-like young man, not even paying attention to his companions as she knows that they are also already tranced on her words.

'Hehehe~ now you know the difference between us now don't you?' the young beauty thought to herself without stopping her words, her explanation eventually reaching the end as she releases a satisfied sigh after all of that, before turning her head around to look at the effect of her discussion, when she got hit by a realization that chips a significant part of her pride.

On the table where the immortal-like young man is previously, she saw his companions looking all too well as if her words don't even affect them in the slightest, a response usually being yielded by only two types of people, ones who are so dumb that they are not even qualified to cultivate and ones who knows the Dao at a level far higher than her comprehension, and seeing that these ladies are clearly people who can cultivate, they are definitely part of the latter type of people.Nôv(el)B\\jnn

"Miss Jing, so you're saying, that the Dao is the end goal, right?" after hearing the young beauty's words, Su Xiaotian asks in a low voice while still having the same confident smile, his expression causing the young beauty to panic a bit as she starts to wonder just what made him look like that.

"T-that's right, I told you already right, the Dao is the path in which we tread, the Dao is also oneself, the thing anyone develop the most when they stepped into the world of cultivation, and by saying that the Dao is my end goal, it also means that I am treading a path in which I develop myself more and more" the young beauty explains once again, feeling quite confident with her words if not for the immortal-like young man sending in a question on her way once again.

"Then Miss Jing, if the Dao is the end goal, why is it the end goal?" the immortal-like young man asked, stunning the beauty as she never even decided to think of that.

"T-that is because by discovering the Dao, a cultivator can be the best version of oneself, stronger, wiser, generally just better than their current self" said the young beauty now with some hesitance lacing her once confident voice, the mature beauty beside her looking at Su Xiaotian with more interest now as he starts questioning what is already established in her niece's mind, something that she and her sister wish for her to explore even more but fails to do so as she is way too focused on this thing, thinking that it is already the path she wants to tread.

"Discovering the Dao huh… interesting words of choice, but let's discuss about that previously young lady, for now, just like previously Miss Jing, I'll ask again, why is it that you want to be the best version of yourself?" Su Xiaotian asks as he takes a seat on the chair against the two beauties, the younger one among the pair already feeling quite antsy as she tries to figure out what is it that makes her so fixated on being the best version of herself.

Seeing that she can't even answer such simple question, the immortal-like young man smiles once again, this one a wry smile that seems to mock more of himself rather than the young beauty.
