164: Chapter 164: Another Elder Has Arrived

Xiao Yuan instinctively took a step back: "Junior Martial Uncle?"

Leng Youyue walked up to him, looking up at him with her face already red to the roots of her ears.

"Junior Nephew Xiao," her voice was trembling, "Junior Martial Uncle has a question I want to ask for your guidance on."

Xiao Yuan swallowed: "Wh... What question?"

Leng Youyue took a deep breath, gathered her courage, stood on tiptoe, and leaned close to his ear, her voice as soft as a mosquito's hum: "That... Dual Cultivation Technique... Can you... teach Junior Martial Uncle?"

After saying this, she was practically smoking all over, feeling both shy and annoyed, wishing she could find a crack in the ground to crawl into.

It was simply because Xiao Yuan was too much of a blockhead, forcing her to go straight to the topic, and she actually didn't like these twists and turns either.

Hearing this, Xiao Yuan was instantly dumbfounded.

It really was coming for Dual Cultivation! At this moment, he had already been overwhelmed by the sudden happiness and surprise.

He opened his mouth, and for a moment, he actually didn't know how to answer!

Leng Youyue was already too shy to bear it, and turned around as if she was about to run.

The courage she had just mustered was instantly crushed by Xiao Yuan's silly look, and she no longer had the courage she had moments ago, now only wanting to escape.

"Forget it, forget it, pretend I didn't say anything! Pretend you didn't hear anything!"

Seeing her shrink back, Xiao Yuan instinctively reached out and grabbed her wrist.

An opportunity that was so hard to come by delivered to his doorstep, if he let the other party run away like this—

Where else would he go to find an opportunity? Perhaps this pretty Elder would be shy, and in the future... whenever she saw him she would hide, making it even harder for him to find an opportunity.

The moment her wrist was caught, Leng Youyue's whole body stiffened, and she froze completely.

Lowering her head, her ears were red enough to drip blood, and her heartbeat was as fast as a beating drum. At a loss... she actually didn't know what to do.

She even forgot that she was at the Mid Golden Core Stage of cultivation; wanting to break free from Xiao Yuan's hand should have been as easy as turning over her hand! But she... found herself feeling limp all over, powerless to break free!

When she first came, she had done her homework thoroughly and hypnotized herself countless times: for the sake of improving cultivation, everything was for the sake of improving cultivation.

But when the matter actually arrived at her doorstep, she realized it was too hard! And too embarrassing!

Seeing her like this, Xiao Yuan was both exasperated and amused.

This Junior Martial Uncle, during the day in the assembly hall, had an overbearing presence, arguing against Zhao Quanzhen without even blinking.

Now look at her, shy like a little girl.

"Junior Martial Uncle," he said softly, "about that Cultivation Technique..."

"Not allowed to speak!" Leng Youyue suddenly raised her head, her face so red it was about to explode, "I didn't say anything! You didn't hear anything! I'm leaving!"

After speaking, she flung away Xiao Yuan's hand and turned around wanting to run.

When it truly reached this step, she suddenly regretted it, and suddenly became afraid...

Just as Leng Youyue ran to the door, her hand hadn't even touched the Formation Restriction—

"Thud!"

Someone was knocking on the Formation outside the Immortal Cave again.

Immediately following, a crisp voice was transmitted inside:

"Junior Nephew Xiao, it's me, Lin Zhirou. Open the door."

Xiao Yuan's brain went buzz.

"Holy shit?!"

Junior Martial Uncle Lin is here too?!

He instinctively looked at Leng Youyue, and Leng Youyue also stiffened, her expression instantly turning incomparably colorful.

The two looked at each other, both seeing panic in each other's eyes.

"What to do, what to do!" Leng Youyue stamped her feet in anxiety, lowering her voice, "We can't let Zhirou see me here!"

Xiao Yuan was also numb.

In the middle of the night like this, a female Golden Core Elder running into his Immortal Cave, what would people say if word got out?

"Junior Martial Uncle, please hide for a moment!"

"Hide where?!" Leng Youyue looked around.

Xiao Yuan's Immortal Cave was extremely crude, consisting of only three rooms... the main hall, the Cultivation Room, and the inner room.

The main hall was clear at a glance, and the Cultivation Room was empty without even a cabinet.

Leng Youyue gritted her teeth and rushed straight into the inner room.

Xiao Yuan opened his mouth, wanting to say the Cultivation Room would do too, but Leng Youyue had already slammed the inner room door shut with a bang.

Fine, whatever happens, happens.

He took a deep breath, tidied his clothes, walked over, and opened the Formation Restriction.

The Immortal Cave door opened, and Lin Zhirou walked in gracefully.

Tonight she wore a light pink long dress, her hair rolled up high to reveal a slender neck, with a bit of heroic spirit between her brows. She was bright and moving, completely different from her gentle appearance during the day.

"Why did it take so long to open the door?" As soon as Lin Zhirou entered, she looked around, her eyes carrying a hint of scrutiny.

Xiao Yuan gave a dry laugh: "I was cultivating, right at the crucial moment, so I didn't make it in time..."

"Oh?" Lin Zhirou glanced at him and didn't ask any more.

She walked to the futon and sat down, her posture dignified, but her fingers unconsciously twisting the corner of her clothes.

Xiao Yuan's heart skipped a beat.

This action... why is it so similar to Junior Martial Uncle Leng just now?

Could she also be coming for Dual Cultivation?

Just as he was thinking this, Lin Zhirou spoke.

"Junior Nephew Xiao," she cleared her throat, "this Junior Martial Uncle has a matter I want to ask you."

Xiao Yuan bit the bullet: "Junior Martial Uncle, please speak."

Lin Zhirou was silent for a while, her face slowly turning red.

She bit her lip, as if having made a great determination, suddenly stood up, and walked toward Xiao Yuan.

Xiao Yuan instinctively took a step back.

Lin Zhirou pressed closer step by step, and he retreated to the wall, with nowhere left to retreat.

Lin Zhirou propped one hand against the wall, pinning him against the wall!

Xiao Yuan widened his eyes, looking at the bright and moving Junior Martial Uncle in front of him, his mind completely blank.

"Jun... Junior Martial Uncle?"

Lin Zhirou's face was red enough to drip blood, but her gaze was very firm.

"Junior Nephew Xiao, this Junior Martial Uncle will speak straight." She took a deep breath, "That Dual Cultivation Technique of yours, teach Junior Martial Uncle."

Xiao Yuan: "..."

It really was!

The corners of his mouth twitched, and his heart was complicated to the extreme.

This Junior Martial Uncle Lin of his was simply too direct!

Leng Youyue at least beat around the bush for a long time, but this one was good, going straight for pinning him against the wall!

Moreover, these Junior Martial Uncles came to find him one by one, what on earth did his beautiful Revered Master tell them? Making these Golden Core experts disregard their image and reserve just to come find him!

"Junior Martial Uncle, this..." Xiao Yuan wanted to say something, but Lin Zhirou had already interrupted him.

"During the day your Master already said that your Dual Cultivation Technique can make cultivation skyrocket. The reason Ruotong, Qingcen, and those few girls' cultivation skyrocketed was precisely because of that Dual Cultivation Technique. Junior Martial Uncle has been stuck at the Mid Golden Core Stage for several years, and dreams of making a Breakthrough."

She paused, her gaze turning resentful: "You couldn't possibly not want to teach, right?"

"It's not that I don't want to teach, it's just..." Xiao Yuan swallowed, "This Cultivation Technique requires..."

"Requires what?" Lin Zhirou blinked, "Requires being completely open with each other? And also... that... that aban... Junior Martial Uncle understands. Junior Martial Uncle has lived for so many years, and isn't some little girl who doesn't understand anything."

As she spoke, her face turned even redder, but her mouth did not relent: "Rest assured, Junior Martial Uncle won't let you suffer a loss. If you are willing to teach, Junior Martial Uncle will cover you from now on. Whoever dares to look for trouble with you again, Junior Martial Uncle will be the first to charge up!"

Xiao Yuan was left dumbfounded by her words.

This Junior Martial Uncle really is... overbearing!

Right at this moment...

A slight sound of "pfft" came from the inner room.

Someone couldn't hold back their laughter.
