Double Cultivation
potential partners
The next day, the Profound Flower Sect prepared to leave the city and return to their own Sect.
"The majority of the other Sects have left the city and returned to their respective places, but the Burning Lotus Sect and the Heavenly Swan Sect said that they will visit us soon." Liu Lanzhi said to Su Yang as they prepared to leave the city.
"Then we must return before they decide to visit us." Said Su Yang.
Some time later, the disciples entered the carriage, and the Profound Flower Sect departed from Snow City.
During their journey back, Su Yang explained more about the Profound Flower Sect and their situation to Qin Liangyu, who was inside the same carriage as him, Fang Zhenlan, Sun Jingjing, and the others, and Liu Lanzhi.
When he explained to her that they specialize in dual cultivation, Qin Liangyu reacted in disbelief. Even in his wildest imagination he could not imagine that a Sect that openly encouraged his disciples to practice dual cultivation could exist in this world.
However, the Eastern Continent had different ethics than the Southern Continent, so it wasn't too surprising, especially since he was affiliated with Su Yang.
"I know what you are thinking, but the Profound Flower Sect is a unique place even in the Eastern Continent. We were even the first to introduce this kind of place to the world." Liu Lanzhi spoke with a proud expression on her face.
"By the way, I am the Sect Master of the Profound Flower Sect, Liu Lanzhi," he introduced himself to Qin Liangyu.
"Master Sect…? But I think Su Yang is the Sect Master?" Qin Liangyu tilted his head. In the Southern Continent, each Sect could only have one Sect Master, except things were different here in the Eastern Continent.
"Usually, there was only one Sect Master for each Sect. However, due to our nature, we must maintain balance and equality to protect our students. Therefore, we have two Sect Masters – one man and one woman." Liu Lanzhi explained.
Qin Liangyu nodded with a face full of understanding, "So so…"
"By the way, how old are you? You look very young to someone in the Earth Spirit Realm." Liu Lanzhi suddenly asked him.
"i'm twenty years old."
"D-Twenty ?!" The girls inside the carriage looked at him with shocked expressions.
"A-Are you helping her too, Su Yang?" Liu Lanzhi looked at him, who only shook his head.
"Imust be!" They became even more shocked after hearing that Su Yang was not involved with his cultivation.
The only reason Sun Jingjing and Fang Zhelan reached the Earth Spirit Realm was because of Su Yang. To achieve that without him, it was an incredible feat that could not be imagined.
"Because of our lifestyle and environment, we always fight with strong beasts, almost every day, so we have to be strong to survive. Of course, we also ate a lot of spiritual meat from the beasts we hunted" Qin Liangyu said.
"I-I wouldn't know such a thing.sorry.." Qin Liangyu shook his head.
Su Yang then spoke, "Although the overall cultivation there is much higher than this place, they lack techniques and foundations. A normal cultivator at the 1st level of the Profound Spirit Realm in this place might be able to defeat someone around the 4th to 5th level of the same realm of the Southern Continent. I can't speak for cultivators belonging to the Sect, because I haven't seen a single one of them during my trip there."
"junior brother Qin, do you have the intention to join our Profound Flower Sect?" Liu Lanzhi suddenly asked him.
"you will soon be promoted to Core Disciple, of course."
"Ma…"
Qin Liangyu looked a little confused after hearing his question, then he turned to look at Su Yang for a moment before speaking, "Sorry, Sect Master, please, but I can't join Sect – or any other Sect for that matter."
"So ..." Liu Lanzhi looked a little disappointed and spoke, "Although it is a pity, can you tell me the reason for your decision?"
"Because I've already made a commitment with Su Yang, so I can't allow myself to do with another person or place .." she replied with a blushed face.
"…" The whole place became quiet.
"I-I did want to ask, but what is your relationship? And why are you following him?" Sun Jingjing was the first to break the silence, asking questions in Liu Lanzhi and Fang Zhelan's current minds.
"H-our relationship…?" Qin Liangyu's face suddenly became blank.
Now that he thought about it, what did it have to do with Su Yang, actually? Although she had cultivated with him before, so had the other thirty-two women in the Pig Tribe. How is his relationship with her different from the others?
"He's my partner." Su Yang suddenly said, causing the people there to look at him with wide eyes.
"i have taken away his Pure Yin Essence, and he decided to follow me, so we are now partners." Su Yang said.
He then turned his head to look at Qin Liangyu and continued, "Although there is no serious commitment between us right now, in the future, after you are sure of wanting to be with me forever, I can make it serious. There is also no need to rush into a decision. Until then, we can still be considered partners."
"Su Yang ..." Qin Liangyu was speechless, as he did not expect that he would actually see her as his partner.
Meanwhile, Liu Lanzhi and Fang Zhelan were staring at them with wide eyes, as they did not consider Su Yang to be the type of man who had a 'serious' relationship with others.
Of course, Sun Jingjing's relationship with her still remained a secret between the two of them, so in Liu Lanzhi and Fang Zhelan's eyes, it was still a secret, Qin Liangyu suddenly became Su Yang's first serious potential partner – and not just a dual cultivation partner like the two of them and the other disciples in the – Sect but a true partner! The one who will follow him until the end of their time!
