Chapter 407: The First Resonance...

[Knowledge of the name is unnecessary but Understanding is sufficient.]

Stan remained silent. ’Damn. So this is possible?!’

The revelation was staggering. People didn’t necessarily need to know the word Dao or dao language to interact with Qi. They didn’t even need to understand cultivation.

If they naturally understood and resonated with a principle of existence deeply enough, their souls could comprehend Dao before their minds ever became aware of the concept.

And Sacha had apparently done exactly that.

Stan was still processing the information when he felt another gaze.

He looked up. Camilla was staring directly at him. Their eyes met.

’So she had sensed it too.’ he sighed...

Her vampire senses were far more sensitive than those of an ordinary human. She could feel the faint energy gathering around Sacha, the subtle flow of Qi entering her body.

’That energy...’ Camilla’s crimson eyes narrowed. ’It is gathering around her. She’s going through that stage, it’s been only a few hours at most

She watched Sacha carefully. She is absorbing it. There was no rejection. No discomfort..No resistance. She isn’t rejecting it.

Camilla’s gaze shifted back to Stan.

His expression had changed. She immediately understood that he hadn’t expected this.

So even he did not know this was possible. That realization was more interesting than the phenomenon itself.

Camilla remained silent, continuing to observe. Sacha eventually noticed the two of them staring at each other.

She sighed. "Why are you two locking eyes like some lovebirds?"

Stan and Camilla both stiffened.

Sacha rolled her eyes. "Seriously."

Stan cleared his throat and Camilla looked away.

Sacha shook her head before gathering her handbag. "Anyways, it was nice playing with you two. I really enjoyed the game."

She stood. "I’ll be leaving now."

Then she smiled. "It’s good that the game ended with everyone winning. No hard feelings, right?"

Stan and Camilla both gave slightly stiff nods. Neither had completely recovered from what they had just sensed.

Sacha turned toward Stan. "It’s a good thing I was able to have some quality time with you, brother. I’ll make up the time and visit you later."

"Okay, Sis." But inwardly, Stan immediately turned his attention toward the system.

’Is it okay for me to have her out of sight?’

The system responded almost immediately.

[The Supreme Rebate System knows you have no inappropriate thoughts toward your sister.]

[She will receive the same protection treatment as your harem.]

[You will be able to sense when she is frightened or in danger.]

Stan’s eyes softened. ’Really? That’s good then.’

The system continued. [This is one of the functions granted by the Harem feature during the previous upgrade.]

Stan relaxed slightly. At least if something happened to Sacha, he would know before hand since he’ll be able to tell from her emotions first...

Before leaving, Sacha casually walked over to Camilla and gave her a light pat on the shoulder.

Camilla stiffened slightly at the unexpected contact. Sacha noticed but simply smiled warmly.

Then she turned toward Stan and hugged him.

"Goodbye, Stan."

Stan hugged her back. "Goodbye, Sis."

She pulled away and looked at him with a knowing expression. "I know you’re doing well for yourself now and everything, but it’ll still be good for you to take your certificate seriously too."

Stan immediately understood why she had said certificate rather than studies.

Sacha knew him well enough to understand that, after everything he had accomplished over the past few weeks, conventional education was probably no longer at the top of his priorities, that’s why she said certificate and not education..

Stan smiled. "Don’t worry, Sis. I’ve got that covered."

Sacha shook her head with a smile. She could tell what’s going through his mind, "You cheeky boy. Knowledge is important too."

Stan laughed. "I understand, Sis."

Sacha then turned toward the door. "Come on. See me out."

Stan nodded. "Sure."

He followed her. To his mild surprise, Camilla casually followed them as well.

Stan noticed but didn’t say anything.

With that, the three of them entered the elevator.

Sacha leaned casually against the wall, glancing between her brother and Camilla. "So, Camilla."

Camilla looked toward her. "Yes?"

"You know, I think you might be the only person who can tolerate him now."

Stan’s expression changed. "Hey."

Camilla considered the statement. "I have not made that determination yet."

Sacha burst out laughing.

Stan looked at Camilla in disbelief. "You too?"

A faint smile appeared on her lips. Sacha pointed at him. "See? You’re doomed."

The elevator doors opened. They continued through the building and eventually reached the entrance.

Outside, Sacha looked around and soon spotted a taxi approaching.

She raised her hand. The taxi slowed and stopped near the gate.

Before getting inside, she turned toward Stan. "Goodbye, brother..."

She paused. Then her eyes moved toward Camilla.

A mischievous smile spread across her face. "...and my brother’s beloved."

Camilla froze and Stan noticed immediately.

Sacha’s smile widened. "I hope you two stay good together. Take good care of each other, alright?"

Camilla’s cheeks immediately flushed. She turned her face toward the side.

Sacha looked delighted. "Bye!"

She stepped into the taxi and Stan waved at her...

"Bye, Sis."

The taxi pulled away.

Stan lowered his hand and glanced toward Camilla. She was still looking to the side.

Her expression was unusually stiff, and the faint crimson coloring high on her cheeks had not disappeared.

Stan didn’t need enhanced senses to figure it out. She’s blushing.

And judging from how deliberately she refused to look at him, she was probably far more embarrassed than she wanted to admit.

Stan suppressed a laugh.

Camilla finally spoke without looking at him, "Your sister is... troublesome."

Stan laughed softly. "She likes teasing people."

Camilla remained silent for a moment. Then she muttered, "She is too bold."

Stan looked at her with amusement, "She’s my sister."

Camilla finally glanced at him, "True."

A small smile tugged at Stan’s lips as they turned back toward the building.

Yet beneath the amusement, his thoughts returned to what he had discovered.

Sacha had comprehended Dao. She had begun absorbing Qi.

Her cultivation path had already started, even though she didn’t know the first thing about cultivation.

And somehow, that realization felt like the beginning of something much bigger.

Stan looked toward the building ahead. ’Sis... what exactly did you comprehend?’
