13: Madam, this was your daughter's initiative!

Miao Qingsha's gaze was as sharp as if it could pierce Su Yang.

Although she appeared to be a refined and cultured beauty, as the Sect Master's wife, she could display an equally oppressive Aura when necessary.

Su Yang could clearly feel the Spiritual Pressure emanating from her.

She was trying to make him reveal a flaw.

All Su Yang could do was remain calm and composed.

If she had solid evidence to prove what she was saying, as the Sect Master's wife, she wouldn't have come to question him alone; she would have immediately informed the Sect Master, and by then, a large group of people would have come to apprehend him directly.

The things she suspected were baseless to begin with, so Su Yang naturally felt no fear.

If he were to panic because of her suspicions, it would only invite more suspicion.

Miao Qingsha indeed found no flaws.

But she clearly didn't think the matter should end there.

Miao Qingsha, who had been standing still, suddenly moved like the wind, arriving before Su Yang at a speed imperceptible to the naked eye; she seemed to stroll leisurely but closed the distance between them in a single breath.

Is this the strength of a Nascent Soul Stage Cultivator?

Su Yang was startled, but he couldn't entrust his safety to her when he didn't know her intentions. He immediately focused his True Essence on his feet, using his Phantom Steps to the extreme, attempting to quickly create a safe distance between them.

A flicker of obvious surprise crossed Miao Qingsha's face.

A Foundation Establishment Stage - Early Phase Cultivation, yet he could react so quickly in such a short time. This strength piqued her greater curiosity. She approached Su Yang again, her True Essence transforming into a tangible sword that whistled as it pressed towards him.

Su Yang's expression changed dramatically.

He didn't know if Miao Qingsha truly intended to kill him, but he knew that if he didn't take it seriously, this Sword Qi could very well take his life.

At this point, even Phantom Steps would be hard-pressed to dodge such a swift sword, and there was no time for him to cast defensive spell formations.

Su Yang immediately channeled all his True Essence into his hands, intending to directly meet her sword with his True Essence.

The two streams of True Essence collided, and spiritual light exploded.

Su Yang only felt the True Essence before him strike his hands like a terrifying meteor; if he were to take it head-on, both his hands would surely be crippled immediately.

Su Yang dared not underestimate a Nascent Soul Stage powerhouse, so from beginning to end, he never intended to meet it head-on. Instead, he used the power of the colliding True Essence to rapidly retreat.

However,

Su Yang was, after all, facing Miao Qingsha, who possessed a Nascent Soul Stage - Middle Stage Cultivation.

Miao Qingsha had already arrived behind Su Yang the moment their True Essence collided, striking his back with a palm.

"So fast!"

Su Yang had no idea when she had gotten behind him; he only heard the strong palm wind, which was how he knew Miao Qingsha was already behind him.

He had originally intended to retreat using the momentum from the front, but unexpectedly, Miao Qingsha had blocked his escape route.

In a flash, Su Yang quickly gathered all his True Essence to control Qi and soar into the air.

Miao Qingsha's palm struck empty air, and she instead had to face the Sword Qi she had just released, once again surprised by Su Yang's agility.

But she was, after all, a Nascent Soul Stage master. After her palm missed, she waved her hand and dispelled the residual True Essence before her.

By this time, Su Yang had used the opening to put distance between them, ready to defend against her next move.

Miao Qingsha, however, did not attack him again but withdrew her Aura.

Looking at Su Yang floating in the air, Miao Qingsha's curiosity was even greater than when she first entered.

And it was much greater.

She hadn't intended to kill him just now, but to push him to the brink of life and death, forcing him to use all his strength to counter her attack.

If he harbored Demonic Path power, it would be impossible to conceal it under such circumstances.

From their brief exchange, she hadn't detected even a trace of the unique power of the Demonic Path; instead, the purity of the True Essence within him was further confirmed.

To Cultivate through Dual Cultivation, yet his True Essence was so pure.

This was enough to pique curiosity.

Furthermore, the strength Su Yang displayed made even her, a Nascent Soul Stage Cultivator, find it incredible.

Just a small Foundation Establishment Stage Disciple, yet he could calmly face her coercion and even emerge unscathed. He was truly a rare talent.

"Come down, I won't hit you anymore."

Miao Qingsha said indifferently.

Su Yang hesitated for a moment, thinking she probably had no reason to lie to him, and then descended from the air.

"Sect Master's wife, Disciple Su Yang is indeed not a Demonic Path spy, has never been involved with the Demonic Path, nor has he fallen into the Demonic Path."

Su Yang maintained his distance, bowed again, and explained.

"I believe what you say."

Miao Qingsha nodded, no longer dwelling on why he used Dual Cultivation to Cultivate, but said: "Some Cultivators do exhibit special Cultivation talents, and perhaps you are one of them. I can overlook what has already transpired between you and Yun Yao. However, as Yun Yao's mother, I must clearly tell you that Yun Yao has long had a marriage engagement with the Yu Ling Sect's direct Disciple. She cannot become your Dao Companion. I hope you will proactively sever contact with her, allowing her to return to normal Cultivation and life, instead of secretly coming to find you every day... for Dual Cultivation."

Her voice was actually very calm, but Su Yang could detect the warning tone in her words.

Su Yang naturally knew what she was saying.

In fact, Su Yang had never believed that Junior Sister Yun Yao would become his Dao Companion; her status as a direct female Disciple of the Sect made the possibility of her becoming his Dao Companion extremely slim.

Another very important reason was his current Innate Kidney Body.

After unlocking the Innate Kidney Body, his Cultivation was destined to be inseparable from women, but it had only been a few days since the Innate Kidney Body was unsealed. He didn't know much about the Innate Kidney Body yet, and it was still unknown whether he would only need one woman to Cultivate well in the future, or if he would need many, or even many, many women to Cultivate well.

Irresponsibly speaking, even for the sake of his future strength growth, he could not rashly make Junior Sister Yun Yao his Dao Companion.

At this stage, their relationship was more like a mutual exchange.

Su Yang pondered carefully and said very seriously, "Madam, rest assured, I will make it clear to Junior Sister Yun Yao!"

"Good, I believe you can do it!"

Miao Qingsha finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Since everything was clear, she had no intention of lingering here any longer. She turned to leave.

Just then, the door to the Confinement Room silently opened.

Miao Qingsha froze for a moment, immediately realizing that the person entering must be her daughter. She instantly transformed into a phantom and hid in the corner of the Confinement Room.

She didn't want her daughter to know that she had come to see Su Yang.

Su Yang also hadn't expected Junior Sister Yun Yao to come so early today. He watched her enter, feeling both amused and helpless.

Wen Yunyao gently closed the door, holding her sword, about to launch a sneak attack on Su Yang, but then she saw him standing there, staring straight at her, and she froze.

But she seemed completely unconcerned about whether the assassination would succeed. Seeing Su Yang looking at her, she pouted and put away her sword.

"Since you've already seen me, my assassination definitely won't succeed, and I definitely can't beat you in a direct fight."

Wen Yunyao ran lightly to him, "Aren't you usually Cultivating? Why aren't you Cultivating today?"

"Cough cough... something came up..."

"Liar. You're in Confinement, what could possibly come up?"

Wen Yunyao thought he was just waiting for her, and although a little embarrassed, she still proactively pulled Su Yang to sit down, and then... Miao Qingsha in the corner, with the help of tonight's bright moonlight, was astonished to see her daughter so proactively sit on Su Yang, directly entering a state of Cultivation with him.

"What are you looking at? Let's Cultivate early so I can go back early."

Wen Yunyao's face was red, but her shyness was tinged with a graceful composure, as if Cultivating with Su Yang had become a habitual part of her life.

Su Yang's exasperation at this moment was impossible to hide.

Sect Master's wife, you saw it, your daughter was the one who initiated it today!

To give the Sect Master's wife a chance to leave the Confinement Room, instead of watching them like this, Su Yang took a deep breath and slowly entered a state of Cultivation.

In the corner, Miao Qingsha watched the two of them floating in the air, emitting a faint spiritual glow, her heart pounding, both surprised and embarrassed...
