Double Cultivation
the body of a hundred poisons
Xie Xingfang looked at their handshake with a somewhat confused expression. He did not know why he willingly reached out to shake hands; it was almost as if his body was moving without thinking.
"This is the first time I have felt the skin of a man who is not my family ..," she said inwardly as Su Yang's warm hand gently held her hand.
Perhaps it was because of Su Yang's natural charm and presence, but Xie Xingfang didn't know why he reached out to her. Even Senior Zhong was surprised to see his young miss, who had a tendency to stay away from others, willingly doing that.
"Umm ... my hand ..." said Su Yang a moment later when Xie Xingfang did not let go of his grasp after some time.
"ah! Where is my manners! I'm sorry for that ..." Xie Xingfang quickly pulled his hand with a reddened face when he realized that he had been holding her hand for a long time.
His actions caused Senior Zhong to widen his eyes in shock. What the hell is going on here? Where did all his elegance go? All of that seemed to have disappeared the moment he saw Su Yang.
"Ahem." Xie Xingfang cleared his throat.
"Sister Xiao, if you don't mind me asking, where are you from?" he then asked.
Ignoring the way he called out to her as if familiar, Su Yang casually raised his arm to his chest to show her the floral motif on his sleeve.
"I am from the Profound Flower Sect," he said.
"The Profound Flower Sect …?" Xie Xingfang showed a puzzled expression behind his veil. He had never heard of such a place before.
Senior Zhong also showed a questioning expression. He had never even heard of such a place. However, for them to have such a formidable swordsman within their sect, how could he not have heard of them before?
"We're not from around here, so I don't know of such a place .. unfortunately .." Xie Xingfang said in a regrettable tone. "However, for them to have someone as strong as you, it must be a special place."
Su Yang smiled and shook his head. "It's really not as impressive as you think. In fact, if I could go, I would."
Senior Zhong's eyes shone with a bright and sharp light when he heard Su Yang's words, and he said: "Then what about joining my Divine Sword Sect? We would greatly appreciate a talented sword teacher like you to join our ranks.I am sure that the disciples there will also appreciate having a new teacher who can teach them about sword intent. "
"i appreciate the offer, but there are still things I have to do there. After I'm done, maybe I can make a trip to this Divine Sword Sect." Su Yang kindly rejected her offer without rejecting it at all.
However, he was not entirely discouraged as Su Yang did not completely reject his offer, even hinting that he might join them in the future.
"Then until you finish your business there, we will wait patiently. Know that our divine sword sect will always open the door for anyone who is talented in swordsmanship" he said moments later.
"Sister Xiao, you look so young, even younger than me .. How old are you, exactly?" Although it was hidden from view, Xie Xingfang's eyes lit up with an anticipating light.
Su Yang simply smiled at her question and did not give her the right answer. They seem to be very interested in his age. However, he was unwilling to reveal that at the moment because it might be too shocking for them. After all, what kind of 16-year-old child could wield sword intent superior to the sword intent of a Heavenly Spirit realm expert? Even a miracle could not possibly manage such a feat.
Seeing how Su Yang did not want to reveal his age, Xie Xingfang was disappointed in his heart.
"What about you, senior brother Xiao? Surely you have a lot of questions to ask, especially after experiencing that unfortunate event." Xie Xingfang decided to treat the question earlier as if it had never happened, because he did not want the atmosphere to be awkward.
Senior Zhong felt that it was extremely rude for Su Yang to ignore his question, as it would be considered presumptuous if he knew his background. But seeing how Xie Xingfang decided to ignore him, he also decided to do the same.
"There was something in my mind after that little event ..." Su Yang narrowed his eyes at Xie Xingfang's alluring figure, and he continued: "Your Heavenly Constitutions, the body of a hundred Poisons—"
"?!?!"
Before Su Yang could even finish his question, Senior Zhong's eyes widened warily, and his aura emanated with killing intent as his hands instinctively grabbed Su Yang's exposed neck in a clawing motion, like an eagle grabbing its prey.
However, just before he could touch Su Yang, Xie Xingfang's loud voice echoed: "Stop!"
Senior Zhong's movements instantly froze, his claw-forming hands were only a few millimeters away from suffocating Su Yang's pale neck, which was not even surprised in the slightest from his sudden attack.
"…" Su Yang sat quietly there, his expression still as calm as usual, looking as if he did not even care a little about the situation.
He suddenly closed his eyes and said in a calm voice: "It may be rare for your Heavenly Constitution in this world, but I do not have the slightest interest in the body of a hundred Poisons of your royal grade. Even if it gave people absolute immunity to all poisons, its ability, unfortunately, was limited to mortal level poisons. It will be useless once you find a spirit level poison. "
The words of Su Yang astonished both Senior Zhong, who was still prepared to continue his attack and Xie Xingfang, who was an expert in poison arts.
