“Sect Master…” Guan Jun’s face was flushed red, not knowing what to say.
“Go on, get some proper rest.”
Yan Nantian waved his hand dismissively.
Guan Jun said nothing more. Enduring the soreness, she quickly left.
When Yan Nantian led Alliance Leader Liu into the room, Chen Ping had only just finished putting on his clothes.
Seeing Yan Nantian bring in yet another woman, and this one dressed all in white with long hair cascading over her shoulders, looking extremely dignified and elegant, her beauty clearly a cut above Guan Jun’s, Chen Ping immediately spoke.
“Sect Master Yan, I truly appreciate your kindness, but after another session of dual cultivation, I really am not sure I can manage it.”
“Tomorrow, perhaps tomorrow I could dual-cultivate with this young lady. What do you think?”
Chen Ping assumed Yan Nantian had sent him yet another woman.
Yan Nantian hurriedly explained, “Chen Ping, you have misunderstood. This is the Alliance Leader of the Earth Fiend Alliance…”
“The Alliance Leader of the Earth Fiend Alliance?” Chen Ping was stunned. He had not expected the other party to be a woman.
Alliance Leader Liu looked at Chen Ping and gave a faint smile. “Young Master Chen is indeed a fine figure of a man. Not only is your appearance outstanding, but your skill is remarkable too. That Miss Guan just now is truly fortunate.”
“I’m terribly sorry, you have seen something embarrassing!” Chen Ping replied, abashed.
“Young Master Chen, my name is Liu Xue. I am the Alliance Leader of the Earth Fiend Alliance. I know there has been some misunderstanding between us, so I have come especially to express my apologies.”
As Liu Xue spoke, she actually gave Chen Ping a deep bow.
This scene left even Yan Nantian rather surprised.
Chen Ping froze on the spot, unsure what medicine Liu Xue was selling in her gourd.
“I can accept the apology, but your Earth Fiend Alliance injured me so badly, so surely…”
“I have specially brought resources for Young Master Chen to make amends for our mistake.” Before Chen Ping could finish, Liu Xue tossed over a storage pouch.
Chen Ping opened it and found it filled with high-purity immortal stones, immortal herbs, immortal crystals, and the like.
“If Young Master Chen feels the sincerity is insufficient, then whatever Miss Guan was able to do, I can do as well.”
“I am also willing to dual-cultivate with Young Master Chen and help you recover as quickly as possible.”
Liu Xue spoke openly about dual cultivation, as if it were no big deal to her at all.
Chen Ping looked at Liu Xue in surprise, put away the storage pouch, and shook his head. “Dual cultivation can be forgotten. I am afraid that Alliance Leader Liu…”
“I have never dual-cultivated with anyone before. You may rest assured…”
Liu Xue knew what Chen Ping was worried about and explained.
Yan Nantian, standing to one side, looked at Chen Ping with eyes full of envy.
Liu Xue had become Alliance Leader of the Earth Fiend Alliance at such a young age through sheer ability and ruthless methods.
A woman like this was someone every man dreamed of conquering, yet none had the capability.
Now, the moment Liu Xue met Chen Ping, she actually took the initiative to offer dual cultivation. How could anyone not be envious?
“Chen Ping, Alliance Leader Liu is considered a great beauty even in the Ninth Heaven. Countless men dream of dual-cultivating with her, yet none have the fortune. Now that she has offered it herself, are you not going to seize the opportunity?”
Yan Nantian said to Chen Ping.
Yet to everyone’s surprise, Chen Ping still shook his head. “Although I do like beautiful women, I would never coerce one. I accept Alliance Leader Liu’s apology, but as for dual cultivation, let us leave it aside!”
Liu Xue was slightly taken aback. She had never imagined a man would refuse to dual-cultivate with her.
At this moment, the way Liu Xue looked at Chen Ping was filled with a desire to explore him further.
“Since Young Master Chen has accepted my apology, I feel much more at ease.”
Liu Xue smiled faintly, not dwelling on the matter of dual cultivation, and continued, “I have heard that Young Master Chen possesses a spiritual sword whose sword spirit can leave the blade. May I have a look?”
With a casual grasp, Chen Ping summoned the Dragon-Slaying Sword into his hand.
