"Decision? Senior Sister Su, what are you talking about?" Yang Kai, seeing Su Qingxue clutching both arms around her bosom, couldn't help but ask.
Dual cultivation is the remedy that can help you. Those were the words that had resonated in Su Qingxue's mind all day long yesterday.
It had been almost a decade, and slowly she had even begun to forget the faces of her parents and how they looked before they died all of a sudden while taking her away from the Su Family.
Yesterday, the constitution mentioned by Chen Fang had jolted awake some memories in her mind that had been deeply buried for some reason.
In the Su Family, she had been treated like a genius that only appeared once in a thousand years. At the same time, the patriarch of the Su Family had always given her more importance than his own daughter.
She had always wondered why, and for that reason she had even pitied Su Yanmei, the patriarch's daughter.
However, one certain day, just as she had turned thirteen, a certain family's delegation had visited the Su Family. That was the day everything changed for her. In the middle of the night, her parents took her out of the house and ran, continuously, for almost months.
In those months, she lost her father, who tried to protect both mother and daughter from a sudden ambush, and her mother, who slowly fell to death after being gravely injured, leaving her in the territory of the Cloud Pearl Sect.
Knowing that her life was in danger, she chose to live in Cloud Pearl City, even if that life forced her to become a servant.
If dual cultivation can help me get stronger, then I'm more than willing to accept that. Last night, she had steeled her resolve.
Her parents' souls must still be wandering in this realm without any rest. She had yet to find answers to the questions that remained hidden in the shadows. How could she think about such a small matter when she could gain something big in return?
Chen Fang, who had already noticed Su Qingxue approaching, was a little surprised by her reply.
It wasn't that he had expected her to decline the dual cultivation path, but the fact that she claimed she was ready so boldly still surprised him a little. This chapter is updated first at novelping dot com.
"Are you sure?" he asked, his tone quite calm.
Su Qingxue's hands began to play with her fingernails, showing that she was still nervous about what she had said. But then she raised her head and looked Chen Fang in the eyes. "I'm sure about it, Elder Chen. But I have a favor to ask." As she said that, she glanced at Yang Kai from the corner of her eyes.
Chen Fang, who had obviously caught that glance, panicked immediately.
Don't tell me… is it now my time to wear a green hat?
However, realizing she might not feel comfortable stating the favor she was asking in front of Yang Kai, Chen Fang breathed a sigh of relief. Turning his gaze toward him, he said, "Disciple, why are you still standing here? Go start practicing if you want to follow me in the future."
Yang Kai, whose ears had been fully perked up, immediately felt them droop.
He wanted to hear what Senior Sister Su was trying to say, but at the same time, following his master was more important in his heart. So, clutching the basic sword technique manual in his hand, he immediately departed toward the disciple quarters.
"Alright, now you can tell me what favor you wanted to ask of me." Chen Fang said calmly, but inside his heart was already jumping around in anticipation.
For a moment, Su Qingxue didn't say anything and continued staring at the ground. Then, with a sudden thud, she sat down on her knees. "I know this will sound presumptuous, as I am nothing but a servant of the Cloud Pearl Sect, while you are an Elder of this prestigious sect. But can this servant dare to ask Elder Chen to be her dual cultivation partner?"
After steadying her mind regarding the dual cultivation decision, the question of a dao partner had remained in her heart and hadn't even let her sleep.
Without a good dao partner, even with dual cultivation she would just be a trash vessel for another person.
All those thoughts had been eating away at her when suddenly Chen Fang's image popped up in her mind. Though there was a heaven-and-earth difference between them, Elder Chen was the one who had taken her out of the servant quarters and given her a chance, even taking on the animosity of Steward Cao, who had good relationships with other elders.

If that person wasn't right for her, then she didn't know what kind of person was.
With all those words and thoughts out of her mind, she closed her eyes, her heart beating wildly as she waited for Elder Chen's response.
Today, either she was going back to the servant quarters, or she was going to start a new life, giving her complete loyalty to Elder Chen.
Meanwhile, Chen Fang was smiling inwardly from ear to ear, as he finally heard what he had been waiting for. The panic of wearing a green hat had now completely vanished from the back of his mind.
Just as Chen Fang was about to say something, the system's ethereal voice fell into his ears.
[Congratulations, Host, for successfully obtaining your first Harem Member (Su Qingxue)]
[Detected that the harem member possesses the 'Chaos Yin Body'. Triggering system enhancement reward. Since the Host's body does not support the Yin attribute, changing the attribute accordingly to the Host.]
[Congratulations, Host, for successfully acquiring the Immortal-Grade Chaos Yang Body]
In an instant, a warm surge of energy began rushing inside Chen Fang's body without warning.
Chen Fang immediately closed his eyes, checking the energy as it began to course through his bones, meridians, and every single cell, pushing his body toward a drastic transformation.
Chen Fang, who could feel the word "trash" resonating with his body, now felt as if he was finally breaking free from some invisible shackles, while an unprecedented sense of power and clarity filled his whole being.
