"Did you gain any insight during this retreat?"
Cao Ying looked at him with great concern and asked.
In the family, Cao Ying has many trump cards, and the person in front of him is definitely one of the most important ones.
Therefore, he is particularly concerned about this person, because he knows that even in times of crisis, he will never betray him.
Glaring expressionlessly at Cao Ying, he said without any emotion, "There’s still no breakthrough, though I feel I’ve gained more insights. Next time, I should be able to achieve it all at once."
His face held not a trace of emotion, as if discussing something unrelated to himself.
Upon hearing his words, Cao Ying was not the least bit disappointed, instead gently advising, "Your expectations for yourself are too high. You are already the strongest in our family; don’t put so much pressure on yourself."
"Family Head, is there anything else? If not, I will continue with my cultivation. My time is precious."
Hearing this slightly impatient tone, Cao Ying’s eye twitched.
If anyone else spoke like this, he would have cursed them outright.
But he didn’t dare to now, because he was still counting on this person to help him.
"Don’t hurry. You’ve just finished your retreat; going back into it isn’t great. Take a break, I have something for you to do, just to relax."
"What’s the task?"
"To secretly follow a few young members of our family to gather some information for me! Ensure their safety if necessary."
Having said that, Cao Ying took a deep breath and briefly mentioned some matters previously assigned to Cao Wei.
"You mean to have me play bodyguard? Do they deserve my protection?"
Sensing his annoyance, Cao Ying quickly soothed him, "It’s not about protecting them, but for you to relax. Besides, the primary task is for you to investigate someone named Hu Xiaobei for me."
Pausing somewhat here, Cao Ying soon continued, "Previously, I heard from Cao Ya that this Hu Xiaobei seems quite proficient. You should test him out. You’re at a bottleneck, more encounters could help you break through faster."
"Is he really proficient?"
Noticing some interest from him, Cao Ying calmly continued, "I’m not entirely sure of the specific situation. But you could try; it might not disappoint you!"
"Is that so! When will they leave?"
"They are preparing now, should be soon. You can stealthily follow."
"Okay! Got it!"
Nodding his head, this person left directly...
...
"Geniuses truly come in various forms!"
Watching him turn and leave directly, Cao Ying mused inwardly.
This person named Cao Tian is the most talented genius Cao Ying has ever encountered, never forgetting anything.
Therefore, Cao Ying had a deep impression of him from an early stage.
After contact, Cao Ying found this person’s IQ indeed very high, but his EQ is quite lacking, often opposing him.
Initially, Cao Ying was a bit upset, but gradually became accustomed to it.
"Family Head, is it a bit too formal to send Cao Tian for this?"
"Yes, Family Head, it’s just a Hu Xiaobei."
Hearing the two elders’ soft-spoken remarks, Cao Ying squinted his eyes and said calmly, "Things are not as simple as we think; Cao Ya definitely concealed something before. I guess he must have suffered. Cao Ya’s strength isn’t great, but decent enough. If he suffered, it indicates the opponent is truly skilled, so a bit of formality is good."
