Jiang Chuan looked at the small cone of soil crumbs piled on the ground. Holding his chin, deep in thought, he turned to Jiang Xia. “Xiao Xia, when did you first notice Xiao Gu’s unusual strength?”

Jiang Xia recounted the incident where Jiang Gu pushed the chubby kid to Jiang Chuan.

But that wasn’t the only incident.

While Jiang Xia and Jiang Gu were escorting the chubby kid home, they passed their neighbor’s residence.

This neighbor was the village’s renowned icy beauty. Living alone and still unmarried, she often faced advances from some single men at night. As a deterrent, she kept two large dogs that growled and barked at strangers, serving as her guards.

Being on her own, she didn’t have the pressures of feeding an entire family. The dogs were content with the leftovers she provided.

Lying on the ground, each dog measured nearly a meter in length. Standing on their hind legs, they’d probably tower over most people.

Jiang Gu, unafraid and seeing dogs for the first time, was immensely curious. She approached them playfully.

The two dogs circled around Jiang Gu, nearly making her dizzy, but she laughed and hugged their necks.

Observing this, the icy beauty remarked to Jiang Xia, “It’s strange. These dogs typically growl at everyone except for me. But today, they’ve been surprisingly calm around your little sister.”

Jiang Xia often felt that the icy beauty, though appearing indifferent to most, she always seemed very friendly towards Jiang Xia. She didn’t understand why, but whenever she met the Ice Beauty, she felt a deep sense of closeness and wanted to befriend her.

While the icy beauty was speaking, she didn’t notice Jiang Gu, with her back turned to the dog. But Jiang Xia saw it all – Jiang Gu, displaying surprising strength, lifted one of the large dogs with ease.

Given the ongoing food crisis, the dog shouldn’t be that heavy. Yet, for a six-year-old, lifting such a massive dog was nothing short of remarkable.

This incident reinforced Jiang Xia’s belief in Jiang Gu’s extraordinary strength.

That same day, an experiment in which Jiang Gu crushed soil clumps convinced Jiang Xia. Like her and their parents, Jiang Gu had inherited the family’s unique power.

Hearing this, Jiang Chuan exclaimed, “I’ve been so preoccupied lately. I didn’t even notice when Jiang Gu’s strength started to manifest.”

Sensing Jiang Chuan’s guilt, Jiang Xia consoled him, “Dad, our focus has been on earning money to ensure Jiang Gu’s education. We might have overlooked this detail, but it’s fortunate we discovered it before others became suspicious. Explaining such strength in a child would be challenging.”

Jiang Chuan smiled and said, “You have a sharp eye.”

Upon hearing this, Jiang Xia expressed a concern, “Dad, since Jiang Gu is part of our family and possesses powers, do you think our elder sister might have some abilities too?”

Jiang Chuan frowned, “It’s hard to say. Initially, even Jiang Gu didn’t exhibit any powers. Her strength developed over time while she was with us. Perhaps the abilities in our family manifest after a certain amount of time together?”

Feeling downcast, Jiang Xia thought about how long she’d been in this world without finding her elder sister.

Jiang Chuan comforted her, “Don’t dwell on it. Our family has faced some recent challenges, but things might settle soon. Let’s use this opportunity to discreetly inquire about her. Perhaps we can find some clues about your elder sister.”

Jiang Xia quickly got over her emotions and nodded with a smile.

She recalled that they had planned to slaughter a sheep for meat the day before. Just as she was about to fetch the sheep, she heard someone call out from outside, “Third Brother, are you home?”

Both Jiang Chuan and Jiang Xia turned towards the voice, recognizing it as belonging to their neighbor, Xiao Li.

Jiang Xia approached to open the door, and as Xiao Li stepped in, she greeted him warmly, “Uncle Li.”

Xiao Li acknowledged her and then looked towards Jiang Chuan in the yard, asking, “Third Brother, why is your door shut in broad daylight? Is something happening at home?”

Jiang Chuan welcomed him inside, saying, “Not really. We just bid farewell to Zhou Lan’s elder brother. We were feeling a bit low, and to avoid unnecessary chatter, we decided to keep the door closed..”
