Double Cultivation
matriac little girl
Su Yang silently watched as Li Qiang's lifeless body lay slumped on the floor, his gaze as calm as a calm lake, looking as if the situation could not affect him even the slightest bit.
"I was just planning to give you a warning tonight, but seeing how you so wanted to get yourself killed, I went ahead and fulfilled your wish."
Su Yang shook his head and turned around to approach the window.
However, just as he was about to leave, the door of the room opened violently, and Liu Lanzhi walked in while shouting: "Why are you making so much noise in the middle of the night ?! I will kill you, Li Qiang— "Liu Lanzhi has been aggravated by her inability to sleep, yet she still has to listen to the commotion in this room, she said, but his expression and lips quickly froze when he saw the situation.
The first thing he noticed was the handsome middle-aged man due to his absurd and shocking appearance. He then noticed Li Qiang's lifeless body on the floor with blood dripping from his lips, looking as if he was suffering from serious injuries.
"Who are you?" Liu Lanzhi stood guard after a quick observation of the scene, his hand had already touched his storage ring in preparation for the battle.
However, he did not immediately attack Su Yang and just stood there, looking uneasy.
Although Li Qiang was below him in terms of his cultivation base, he was still one of the top experts in this Sect, yet for him to be dealt with so quickly and efficiently by this middle-aged man, he was still one of the top experts in the sect, Liu Lanzhi did not dare to exaggerate his abilities by attacking him without knowing his identity.
"Silence, little girl. I came here tonight just for a dead fool on the floor" Su Yang said with one foot in the window.
"Little girl?" Liu Lanzhi frowned.
While her appearance resembled the appearance of a young woman who was still in her prime, she was actually over eighty years old.
Su Yang noticed the anger in his eyes when he treated her like a little girl even though he was trying to hide it, and he smiled and continued: "Maybe if you manage to live another thousand years, then you will live another year, I'll consider calling you a young girl …"
Liu Lanzhi was more shocked than offended this time. A person who was a thousand years old was only a young girl in his eyes? How long has he been alive so far? What cultivation base could he achieve to have such a long lifespan? It was something that he could not even mentally understand because Earth Spirit Realm experts like him usually had a lifespan of around three hundred to four hundred years.
"Why would someone as deep as you appear here to kill someone as small as Li Qiang?" Liu Lanzhi suddenly asked him. "He's the Patriarch of this Sect, you know? How can I explain this to the Sect?"
Although Li Qiang died, Liu Lanzhi seemed to show no signs of grieving for him, which made Su Yang feel a little surprised.
"i killed him because he was laughing at my appearance when I was passing by," Su Yang said with a solemn expression, stunned Liu Lanzhi who obviously did not expect such an answer.
"K-Because he's laughing at you?"
For him to kill an Ancestor like Li Qiang for such ludicrous reasons, Liu Lanzhi no longer doubted his advanced age, because only old monsters with long lives and deep cultivation bases could exhibit such eccentric behavior!
"Do you have a problem with that, little girl?" Su Yang removed his legs from the window and slowly approached him in an arrogant manner.
Liu Lanzhi instinctively took a few steps back when Su Yang's overwhelming pressure filled the room, his back drenched in cold sweat.
"A-I was already planning to replace him when I found a better candidate, and he was guilty of offending Senior, so I had no problem with Senior's decision! Instead, I would like to thank Senior for helping me in dealing with him, even though it was not Senior's original intention! " Liu Lanzhi said as he bowed, thanking him for killing Li Qiang.
Su Yang stopped his steps and nodded his head in agreement, acting like a deep old man.
"Alright, I accept your gratitude," he said a moment later.
"Although I don't plan to create trouble for your Sect, my actions have done just that, so my humble self will compensate for your lost loss …"
Although it would be rude to reject his offer, Liu Lanzhi did not want to receive compensation from someone who had just killed the Patriarch of the Sect himself, fearing that his offer might do more harm than good, not to mention his frightening presence that forced him to sweat profusely from just his presence alone.
"…"
Refusing his offer, Su Yang frowned, deliberately looking offended despite feeling calm in his heart: "You rejected my good intentions? It has been more than four thousand years since someone last rejected my generosity …"
"?!?!?!"
Liu Lanzhi trembled violently after hearing his low voice spoken in a displeased tone, and his feet even trembled clearly from the killing intent emanating from Su Yang's narrowed gaze.
"E-E-Four thousand years !?" Liu Lanzhi exclaimed inwardly, almost shouting loudly.
What cultivation base would one need to be able to live for over four thousand years and still look so young and energetic?
Now, Liu Lanzhi was sweating so much that the spot she was standing on was covered in liquid, making it seem like she had just urinated on herself.
"Hmm? leaking at your age, you are truly a little girl .." Su Yang continued to tease her while recalling the arrogant attitude that she originally had with him in the Examination Hall.
Liu Lanzhi looked down at his feet and realized that the liquid under his feet was actually peeing and not sweating! He deliberately made himself annoyed out of fear!
"I-I-I'm sorry for showing such an embarrassing sight to Senior ..." Liu Lanzhi said in a trembling voice, showing more attention to his presence than his pride.
Seeing that he was really going to cry, Su Yang decided that it was time to stop teasing him, and he said while pointing to Li Qiang's corpse: "My compensation to your Sect for killing your Patriarch is that I am willing to become a Patriarch until you find another replacement for that trash there … "
"W-What?"
Liu Lanzhi looked at him with absent-minded eyes, as if she was in disbelief. He was so stunned by Su Yang's words that he still doubted his own hearing after a while.
"You heard me—" Su Yang stopped to walk to the wardrobe, where he took a clean set of Patriarch robes, even wearing them on the outer Court disciple robe, and continued: "I happen to have a lot of time on my hands, so I don't mind wearing these clothes until you find the right replacement. "
"T-But .." Liu Lanzhi wanted to express her concern, but Su Yang was already one step ahead of her.
"What's there to worry about? I will only be the Patriarch in name, so not only will I not change anything within the Sect, but I will even protect this place as long as I am here."
Regardless of his words, Liu Lanzhi still felt doubtful towards his true intentions. Why did he offer to become the Patriarch of this Sect when there was nothing he could take advantage of from being a Patriarch? Why was he wearing clothes meant for the Outer Court disciples? Did he also forget that he was the reason why the Sect no longer had Patriarchs?
"Hmm ... How about this?" Su Yang continued to speak. "i understand that you are wary of my intentions, because anyone would feel the same way. However, you seem to have forgotten that I have the ability to destroy this small place without needing to waste my time playing the role of Patriarch. "I really don't have any evil ambitions towards this place, just bored and wanting to find something to do to spend my seemingly eternal time. Even though I did kill your Patriarch, it was really just an unfortunate incident that he brought upon himself. "
After a moment of silence, "What do you think, little girl? I can even bless this Sect with some cultivation techniques that I acquired during my simple life …"
"…" Liu Lanzhi remained silent.
however his eyes seemed to change drastically after his explanation. There was still doubt in his heart, as everything he said sounded too good to be true, but he also gave little reason for him to reject his offer.
In fact, the profit that could be obtained from his bid far outweighed his losses!
