Double Cultivation
the untouchable princess
“Murid it looks so familiar.” Lin Shao Shang pondered to himself after Su Yang entered the house.
A few minutes later, he finally recalled the disciple named Zhang Xiu Ying.
"That's right! She was the Touched Princess, Zhang Xiu Ying!"
After the incident with Su Yang, in which he destroyed many disciples in the Burning Lotus Sect and even threatened the Sect Master, Huo Yuanjia, with his death, he warned them that Zhang Xiu Ying was his friend and if Zhang Xiu Ying was harmed then he would return for revenge.
Ever since that incident and Su Yang's warning, the disciples and sect elders alike treated Zhang Xiu Ying as if she was a princess, not even daring to glance at her, therefore her nickname, was, The Untouchable Princess.
And also, his cultivation base had increased significantly since that incident, and became a Core Disciple a few months later.
At this moment, Zhang Xiu Ying was akin to a Goddess within the Burning Lotus Sect – entities that lived in a different world than them. especially after Su Yang defeated Hong Yu'er and became the number one genius in the Eastern Continent.
The more people were afraid of Su Yang, the more disciples in this place were afraid of Zhang Xiu Ying, as he was directly under Su Yang's protection.
"What is their relationship with each other?" Lin Shao Shang could not help but become interested.
A while later, he used another concealment technique to further conceal his aura so that not a single hint of his presence could be felt. With his presence and aura completely hidden, it was as if Lin Shao Shang had turned into a ghost – entity that did not exist in this world.
After he was sure that he had performed his concealment technique perfectly, Lin Shao Shang approached Zhang Xiu Ying's residence and peered inside through the window.
"So why did you really come to the Burning Lotus Sect, Su Yang?" Zhang Xiu Ying asked him after serving tea for him.
"I have business with Wang Shuren."
"Senior Wang? He's not in the sect right now."
"I know, that's why I'm gonna stay here until he gets back."
"Eh ?!" Zhang Xiu Ying closed his mouth in surprise after hearing his words. "You live here ?!"
Su Yang calmly nodded his head after taking a sip of his tea.
"But there is only one bedroom in this house, and the bed is only big enough to fit one person!"
Zhang Xiu Ying seemed to have misunderstood Su Yang's words as he said he was going to stay there.
Su Yang chuckled after seeing her reaction and said, "i didn't really mean that I would stay here. All I mean is staying in the sect when I say 'here'. I live about ten minutes from here."
"O-Oh! Forgive me for the misunderstanding ..." Zhang Xiu Ying blushed in embarrassment.
"You know, even though the bed is small, it's still enough to fit two people if they sleep close together." Su Yang suddenly said to her.
"J-If you don't mind feeling a little uncomfortable sleeping with limited space.." she replied a while later with her red-flamed ears.
Even though they had already done so often with each other, she still felt ashamed whenever she was around him, especially when she was teased by him.
"Who said anything about sleep? We can do it all night if you want." Su Yang chuckled.
"Aah!?" Zhang Xiu Ying looked at him with a surprised face. Do it all night? Even if his endurance had been strengthened since the last time they cultivated, he would definitely not last more than a few hours with him, let alone an entire night!
"By the way, how was life as a student after that day? Does anyone dare to bother you?" Su Yang suddenly asked her.
"Th-That's…"
Zhang Xiu Ying showed a bitter smile and started explaining to him how he had basically become a loner afterward.
"Since that day, no one has dared to talk to me, let alone bother me. Not even the sect elders are willing to deal with me. Unfortunately, I have become a loner in this sect. Although it also means I have a very peaceful life, so I don't mind. "
"Eh?" Su Yang's eyes widened in surprise.
He really did not expect this result. He only wanted people to stop bothering him, yet he somehow turned him into a loner in the sect ?!
After pondering for a while, Su Yang spoke, "Then, will you come with me to the Profound Flower Sect? We're taking more students now, you know."
"You want me to join the Profound Flower Sect?" Zhang Xiu Ying looked at him with wide eyes full of disbelief. He would never have imagined that Su Yang would invite him to his sect.
He nodded and said, "Since everyone here is afraid of you, why don't you come to our sect? I'm sure you'll quickly get along with the other students."
"Um. although I would love to come with you, I cannot leave my Master here. He is the only reason why my cultivation base has reached this level in such a short period of time, and I doubt he will agree if I leave the Burning Lotus Sect after spending so much resources on me."
"Your teacher... Wang Shuren?" Su Yang asked, and he nodded.
"Why didn't you talk about this matter with him when he came back? I'm sure he'll gladly let you come with me. I'll keep you company."
"really? You think Senior Wang will allow me to go to the Profound Flower Sect?" Zhang Xiu Ying looked at him with expectant eyes.
"i'm sure." He nodded with a confident smile.
Meanwhile, Lin Shao Shang listened to their conversation with an expression of disbelief on his face.
'This Su-Su! He is really hunting your students! And even a Core Disciple! How shameless!' he screamed in his heart.
