"It's nothing!" Billy smiled and shook his head. "I just suddenly thought of this, so I asked you."
As he spoke, he took the jade pendant from Harleen's hand and examined it carefully, but found nothing special about it.
"Honey, this jade pendant should have a special meaning to you, right?" Harleen smiled and said, "I'll return it to its rightful owner now. Keep it safe and don't lose it, okay?"
Harleen Knight was a smart woman who didn't believe that Billy had just suddenly remembered this matter. She could see from Billy's eyes what was going on. And she remembered five years ago when Billy held onto the jade pendant tightly before falling into a coma as if afraid of losing it.
A few days ago she had intended to return the jade pendant to him but got busy with other things and forgot.
"Thank you, my dear wife!" Billy smiled. "It does have some special meaning for me. I'll tell you later."
He hadn't planned on asking Harleen to return the jade pendant back to him, but after what happened earlier today he realized that leaving the jade with her could cause her trouble so he decided to take possession of it again.
"Mm-hmm," Harleen nestled in Billy's arms and nodded slightly. She knew there were many secrets hidden within Billy but she wouldn't be like other women who would pester him until they found out everything. She believed that if there was something important for her husband to share with her, he would do so when the time was right.
...
The next morning after playing outside with Tasha for a while, they walked back home together.
"Daddy! Uncle Casey is sleeping over there!" As they approached their villa courtyard, Tasha pointed towards Casey sitting cross-legged in a nearby pavilion looking asleep.
"Tasha, Uncle Casey is practicing his martial arts, he's not sleeping." Harleen responded with a gentle smile.
"Harleen, can you take Tasha home now?" Billy sensed a change in Casey's aura and his eyes flickered slightly.
"Okay!" Harleen nodded and led Tasha into the small courtyard.
Billy then walked towards the pavilion.
Walking to a distance of about 100 ft from the pavilion, the air around Casey began to flow faster and a piercing whistling sound was heard.
In no time, dozens of sharp gusts of wind rushed around him like blades, and cracks appeared on the pillars around the pavilion. At the same time, Casey's energy continued to strengthen, and the entire area was thick with tension.
"Uh..."
A few minutes later, Casey's brow furrowed slightly and his aura became somewhat disordered.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
As Billy swiftly flipped his wrist, three silver needles flew out of his hand, piercing directly into Casey's body.
Immediately after, Billy took a few big steps froward to come up behind Casey and lifted his hand to press it on top of his head while speaking.
"Sink to Dantian, preserve the essence.
Seal the crown of the head, the energy door, the chi gathering place and the fountain point."
"Uh!" Casey raised his eyebrows and mumbled in a deep voice.
Phew!
A surge of chi energy, as powerful as the sun and moon, flowed from Billy's palm into Casey's body. Then it exploded like a bomb inside Casey's body, instantly rushing towards various parts of his body.
"Uh..." Casey frowned again.
