12: Oh no, her mother is here!

“Did you bring paper today?”

It was not yet dawn, but Su Yang and Wen Yunyao in the Confinement Room had already finished Cultivating.

Today's Cultivation ended earlier, but Wen Yunyao also arrived earlier, so the total Cultivation time was longer than before. Both Su Yang and Wen Yuheng had greater increases in their Cultivation than before.

“Mm, I did…”

Wen Yunyao nodded, her face red.

The two descended from the air. Wen Yunyao immediately covered Su Yang’s eyes, “Don’t look!”

Then she quickly took care of what needed to be done and got up from Su Yang.

“I’ll come earlier tonight,” Wen Yunyao said.

Su Yang teased, “Why don’t you just not kill me?”

Wen Yunyao was stunned for a moment, then immediately understood why he said that. Her face red, she said, “Even though I told you I’d come earlier, it doesn’t mean I’ll come at any specific time. Bullying me every day, don’t think I’ll give up on killing you, hmph!”

With that, she quietly left the Confinement Room.

She spoke the harshest words, but these past two days, as soon as she left the Confinement Room, an uncontrollable smile would always appear on her face.

It seemed that coming to Cultivate with him every day was the happiest thing in her life.

Of course, she would definitely not admit it herself.

Taking advantage of the faint light of dawn to return home, she was indeed not noticed by anyone. Wen Yunyao lazily lay on the ground and went to sleep.

Su Yang in the Confinement Room, however, was not idle.

After skillfully mastering the newly acquired true Qi, he continued to practice the Left-Right Inter-Combat Technique in his Sea of Consciousness.

He was not an immortal Cultivator with a deep background like Wen Yunyao. He was just one of the many Disciples of the Profound Heaven Dao Sect. Without any reliance, he had no other option but to do his best to make himself stronger.

He Cultivated from before dawn until dark.

Su Yang’s Cultivation never stopped for a moment.

The door of the Confinement Room slowly opened.

Su Yang acutely noticed this subtle movement.

The corners of his mouth curved slightly.

“This girl is coming earlier and earlier.”

Since this girl didn’t intend to hide her figure, he would preempt her!

A stream of true Qi wrapped around the person who entered, directly pulling her over.

“Ah—”

A low cry of surprise sounded.

Su Yang was clearly startled when he heard the voice, because it was obviously not Wen Yunyao’s voice.

Who was the person who came?

Naturally, it was Wen Yunyao’s mother, Miao Qingsha!

Miao Qingsha never expected to be enveloped by Su Yang’s true Qi as soon as she entered the door. Due to her carelessness, she directly fell for Su Yang’s move.

Miao Qingsha, who landed in Su Yang’s arms, was both shy and angry. She struck Su Yang with a palm. Su Yang was shocked and immediately crossed his arms in front, while simultaneously mobilizing all his true Qi to protect himself.

Taking the palm strike head-on, Su Yang used the force to fly back and create distance between them.

“Who?”

Su Yang entered a state of high alert.

Miao Qingsha, who had just struck with her palm, looked at Su Yang, who was flying back with the momentum, with considerable surprise. She hadn’t expected that a Disciple at the Foundation Establishment Stage - Early Phase could take a palm strike from her, a Nascent Soul Stage - Middle Stage Cultivator, without getting injured.

Although that palm strike was not her full power in a hurry, she was, after all, a Nascent Soul Stage - Middle Stage Cultivator. An ordinary Foundation Establishment Disciple would have long been spitting blood from that palm strike.

It was truly surprising that he could defend against it.

“I wanted to ask you that. Who are you?”

Miao Qingsha was, after all, a Nascent Soul Stage - Middle Stage Cultivator, and her strength was evident. Facing a Sect Disciple at the Foundation Establishment Stage - Early Phase, she naturally wouldn't be intimidated. She directly questioned, “I have already checked your information. You are a Disciple who joined the Profound Heaven Dao Sect eight years ago, with a five-colored miscellaneous Spiritual Root of gold, wood, water, fire, and earth. However, in the five years after joining the Sect, you Cultivated to the thirteenth layer of Qi Refining, just like other gifted Disciples. Then, for unknown reasons, your Cultivation was unable to Breakthrough for a long time, until the Foundation Establishment Ceremony a few days ago. Although you did not participate in the Foundation Establishment Ceremony, you still had a Breakthrough that day, and no one knows how you Breakthrough.

“In these few days of being confined, my daughter secretly snuck into the Confinement Room to Dual Cultivate with you, and her strength increased suspiciously.”

“Do you think I don’t know anything?!”

“Su Yang, you are full of doubts! Honestly, are you a spy from the Demonic Path’s Joyful Union Sect, planted in my Profound Heaven Dao Sect? Or did you come into contact with the Joyful Union Sect during the three years your Cultivation was unable to improve, and have already joined the Joyful Union Sect?”

Miao Qingsha’s voice was extremely serious, and at the same time, she had already mobilized her true Qi to lock onto Su Yang.

From her investigation results over the past two days, Su Yang’s Aptitude during the entrance test was extremely poor, but his early Cultivation speed was not slow at all, which was very suspicious.

Although he was unable to Breakthrough after the age of 15, and there were no records of any abnormal behavior from him in the Sect during this period, his sudden Breakthrough after this Foundation Establishment Ceremony was itself a mystery. No one knew how he Breakthrough, and whether he received help from external forces was unknown.

Furthermore, the way her daughter Cultivated with him clearly had very strong characteristics of the Joyful Union Sect.

This made it very difficult for her not to have such suspicions.

“Sect Master’s wife…?”

Su Yang already knew who the person was from these words. At the same time, by the moonlight, he basically determined that this person was indeed the Sect Master’s wife, Miao Qingsha.

So Junior Sister Yun Yao was right when she said her mother was suspicious.

What a headache.

To be discovered so quickly!

However, Su Yang was very calm. He knew that with his current Cultivation, it would be difficult to win if he went head-to-head with the Nascent Soul Stage - Middle Stage Sect Master’s wife. So he stepped forward and respectfully bowed:

“Disciple Su Yang greets the Sect Master’s wife!”

“I did not know it was the Sect Master’s wife just now, and I was very presumptuous. I hope madam will forgive me.”

Miao Qingsha saw that his attitude was acceptable and softened her stance slightly.

But her true Qi remained locked onto Su Yang, preventing any possibility of an accident.

“Answer me honestly, who are you?”

Su Yang directly said, “Disciple Su Yang is a Disciple of the Profound Heaven Dao Sect, not a spy from the Demonic Path. During my time in the Profound Heaven Dao Sect, I have never had any contact with anyone from the Demonic Path, and I have not fallen into the Demonic Path.”

“The Profound Heaven Dao Sect’s mountain-protecting formation can identify Demonic Path Qi. If Disciple were from the Demonic Path, I would have been discovered long ago, and it would be impossible to hide for eight years.”

“Furthermore, the Profound Heaven Dao Sect has detailed records of any Disciple leaving the Sect. In the eight years since Disciple joined the Profound Heaven Dao Sect, I have never left the Sect, so I could not have come into contact with the Joyful Union Sect. Madam can check the Sect’s personnel travel records; Disciple Su Yang’s every word is true.”

“As for the Aptitude and Cultivation issues that madam mentioned, Disciple myself cannot explain them clearly. The Sect Master also investigated Disciple’s situation earlier, and the Sect Master also could not explain what happened with Disciple’s Cultivation growth before the age of fifteen. Madam can ask the Sect Master about this.”

Miao Qingsha could hear the righteousness in Su Yang’s tone.

She also knew that what Su Yang said was true.

When she checked Su Yang’s identity information, she had already confirmed the information Su Yang stated. As he said, he indeed had not left the Sect these past few years.

Her true Qi locked onto Su Yang also did not detect any unique Demonic Path Qi within his body. In fact, she even found that the true Qi within Su Yang’s body was extremely pure, a true Qi that the Demonic Path could not possess.

This made her even more puzzled.

“If that’s the case, why do you know the Dual Cultivation method?”

“This…”

Su Yang looked at Miao Qingsha, pondered for a moment, and then continued, “Disciple did not know this was a Dual Cultivation method. A few days ago, when Disciple attempted to Breakthrough on the day of Spiritual Abundance, I encountered a life-threatening danger. Fortunately, Junior Sister Yun Yao saved me. Not only did I successfully Breakthrough the long-standing shackles, but I also unexpectedly discovered that Cultivating with a female can greatly improve each other’s Cultivation.”

Su Yang told Miao Qingsha the parts he could, while withholding some parts.

Since Miao Qingsha already knew about his continuous Cultivation with Junior Sister Yun Yao, a complete concealment would instead easily reveal flaws.

Miao Qingsha’s suspicious gaze locked onto Su Yang’s face, trying to catch evidence of his lying from his expression.

But Su Yang gave her no chance, calmly facing her suspicion…
