Double Cultivation
become rebels
"This seal...is this a formation?" Su Yang suddenly asked them.
"We're not actually sure." Xie Wang replied. "It looks like a formation, but when we asked the top formation experts in the Eastern Continent to look at it, they couldn't find the formation, he said it was a natural phenomenon."
Hearing such words, Su Yang shook his head and said, "Just because you can't see it, doesn't mean it's not there. Are they really top formation experts? I'll revoke their titles if I were you."
"…"
The people there were speechless, and also, they could not deny his words, he said, because they had witnessed for themselves how he could create a powerful formation with a flick of his fingers while others might take decades to make.
"Then I have another question— why do you limit the number of people who can enter the place to 4? Is there a specific reason?" Su Yang then asked.
"Yes, because the Heavenly Pool would lose its effectiveness drastically if there were more than 4 people cultivating there at once. Nothing would happen if there were only 4 people cultivating there, but once we added an extra person there, the effectiveness would slow down by about 50%." Xie Wang explained to her.
Su Yang slightly narrowed his eyes after hearing Xie Wang's words, appearing in deep thought.
A moment of silence later, he nodded, "I understand what happened there. Thank you for confirming my speculation."
"Eh? What do you mean by that? Do you know anything about the Heavenly Pool?" Lord Xie asked him.
"One or two things, but I have to see it before I can be 100% sure."
Lord Xie and Xie Wang looked at each other with wide eyes. The Heavenly Pool was discovered by the Ancestor of the Xie Family over a thousand years ago, yet they knew nothing about it other than the fact that it could increase one's cultivation speed if they were cultivating within it.
"Can you tell us about it? Even if you're not confident, we want to hear it." Xie Wang asked him a moment later.
However, Su Yang shook his head and said, "I can tell you, but you have to wait."
"…"
After a few seconds of silence, Su Yang suddenly said, "Actually, I can tell you a little about the Heavenly Pool now."
They all stared at him with blinking eyes filled with anticipation.
"Color of Heaven is not his real name, or at least that's not what I'm calling, and also saying that it can only be used once every 100 years is also wrong."
Lord Xie immediately stood up from shock after hearing his words, and he exclaimed, "What do you mean we don't have to wait 100 years to use the Heavenly Pool ?!"
However, Su Yang did not respond to her question and simply looked at her with a mysterious smile on his face.
"So what if I'm like that?" Su Yang remained seated there with a calm expression on his face. "If you can't wait, you can try to figure it out yourself."
Liu Lanzhi and the other disciples started to sweat after seeing the fierce atmosphere between Su Yang and Lord Xie, afraid that the alliance between them would end even before the day ended.
"Be calm and more patient, Father. Su Yang said he would tell us when the time was right. There's no reason for him to lie to us." Xie Xingfang suddenly said to him in a calm voice.
Lord Xie's brows twitched as Xie Xingfang sided with Su Yang, and he looked at her and said, "I've been ignoring this for a while but you ... Lately you've become increasingly rebellious, haven't you?"
"With all due respect, I don't know what you're talking about, Dad." Xie Xingfang spoke with an indifferent expression on his face.
"Hmph! You can act stupid all you want, but don't think I don't see what's happening." Lord Xie snorted coldly.
He then turned to look at Su Yang and spoke, " Anyway, if you don't want to tell me, I won't linger any longer, because there's still a lot of work to be done!"
As soon as Lord Xie left, Xie Wang spoke with a strange smile on his face, "Is there a special reason why you always try to upset him?"
"Not really." Su Yang shrugged his shoulders. "It's my nature to tease anyone who seems to be begging for it."
Xie Wang raised his eyebrows in a surprised manner. Does Lord Xie have a face that begs to be ridiculed? She did not know.and also, it did not mean that she did not understand Su Yang's feelings, because she also enjoyed teasing Xie Yimu when she was young.
But little did Xie Wang know that from Su Yang's point of view, everyone in this room — this whole world was only considered a child in front of his countless experiences.
A while later, everyone returned to their respective rooms to rest tomorrow.
"Teacher, I can sleep with you tonight, right?" Yan Yan asked her as they approached their room.
"Of course, because that's what I promised you yesterday." He's nodding.
So, Yan Yan Yan exchanged rooms with Liu Lanzhi and the disciples for the night.
As soon as they entered the room, Yan Yan immediately climbed onto the bed, lay down, and began to stare at him in silence.
Su Yang smiled seeing this and also climbed onto the bed, before sleeping right beside him.
"Thank you, Master, for sleeping with me. My parents used to do this every night before they died," he suddenly said to her as he curled closer to Su Yang.
"Your parents.. If you don't mind me asking, how did they die?" he asked her a moment later.
