Double Cultivation
story before sleep
Liu Lanzhi continued to stand there with a brooding expression after a moment of silence.
Although he did not wish to accept someone who was not even a disciple of the Sect to become a Patriarch, he really had no other choice, as his prowess seemed to be too profound for a small Sect like the Profound Flower Sect.
Moreover, if what he said was true – that he was willing to protect the Sect and even give them some cultivation techniques, then the status of the Sect within the Cultivation World can even soar to the sky, allow them to float next to the truly great names in this world!
The current position possessed by the Blossom Sect within the Cultivation World was not something worthy, it even looked like an ant in the eyes of giants like the divine sword sect, but with the appearance of these mysterious old monsters, perhaps they might become something bigger than just ants.
Liu Lanzhi suddenly closed his eyes, sighing in a defeated tone. He then began to lower his body until he knelt on the floor.
"Liu Lanzhi greets the Patriarch!" he said it out loud.
Seeing this, Su Yang nodded with a smile. "Alright, then I'll stay in this outfit a little longer …"
"And as agreed, I will not touch the Sect, nor will I change anything, so that you can continue each day as usual. Unless this Sect is in danger, I will not intervene with your affairs" he continued.
"What about him?" Liu Lanzhi pointed at the lifeless Li Qiang and asked.
"I will leave his body and the announcement of the new Patriarch to you. Even if you have to lie to everyone in the Sect, I don't want too much of a fuss, because I hate the loud noise," he replied, basically leaving all the responsibility of Li Qiang's death to him.
Feeling bitter, Liu Lanzhi nodded. "i understand."
"good. Then I'll be gone for a while. If you need anything from me, you can contact me using this Jade Slip."
Su Yang threw it at the Jade Slip that was meant purely for communication before turning around to approach the window again, and Liu Lanzhi saw him leave without saying a word despite the many questions for him.
At this moment, all he wanted was for him to leave quickly so that he could finally set up his chaotic thoughts, which he had, not to mention he had to think of the reason for Li Qiang's death and the sudden appearance of a new Ancestor without causing too much commotion within the Sect.
"Ahhh .. why is this happening?" Liu Lanzhi muttered in a daze.

Su Yang returned to his residence after leaving the Yin Yang Pavilion, where Qiuyue was patiently waiting to return.
"You're still awake? Although cultivators at your level do not require much sleep, you look tired. Sleeping, or else it will affect your beautiful skin," Su Yang told Qiuyue as he returned, pretending that he was unaware of his cunning surveillance.
Qiuyue nodded in silence.
He then removed his legs from the lotus position and lay down on his bed, treating it as if it was his own bed.
Su Yang could only smile at her actions and decided to leave her alone.
However, just as he turned around, a low and sweet voice echoed.
Stopping his steps, Su Yang spoke with a smile on his face: "Which story are you going to choose tonight, my spoiled little daughter?"
It was a phrase she used to use whenever she asked him for a bedtime story.
"The story of the mortal girl who traversed the universe in search of her missing father — has been my favorite ever since I first heard it .." she replied.
"I know," said Su Yang. "From the hundreds of stories I've told you, that's the only story you want me to repeat."
Su Yang then sat on the bed beside him, and he started telling the story in a soft voice, as Qiuyue slowly closed his eyes to listen.
"There's a young girl named …"
"He loved his attentive father, who had worked until he fell from exhaustion to feed him, very expensive …"
"But one day, he suddenly disappeared like a ghost …"
"Destroyed by the disappearance of his father, he travels in search of him …"
"In his journey, he had killed many demons and wild beasts, even making his name famous throughout the world …"
"But unfortunately, despite his worldwide fame and strength, he still cannot find his father even after so many years …"
"However, he did not give up and continued to search …"
"One day, he broke human boundaries and soared higher than any other cultivator in the world …"
"Finally, he reached the point where he could cross the stars and explore the starry sky …"
"Countable years have passed since he began his journey in search of his father, but the possibility of his father being only human when he disappeared was still alive at this moment does not exist …"
"However, despite having known such facts many years ago, the stubborn daughter continued to look forward to the day her father appeared before her again every day …"
"In the end, he became one of the strongest existences in the universe with the power to influence even fate …"
"He then travels to a mythical place where mindless souls await reincarnation, with some souls there having been around for thousands of years …"
Qiuyue had long since fallen asleep by the time Su Yang reached this point, his sleeping face as pretty as a fairy fell asleep and as calm as a sound asleep baby.
Su Yang stopped telling the story and grabbed his teary-eyed face with his hand, wiping a trace of tears from his delicate face. He stood up from the bed and left the room shortly after, closing the door behind him.
"Haaaa ..." Su Yang sighed deeply as soon as he was alone, his gaze seemed to be filled with countless deep thoughts as he recalled the story of the young girl trying to find her father.
And for the rest of the gloomy night, Su Yang sat in the living room in silence, seemingly in deep thought.
