Primordial Cultivator

"That damn old man, he's leaving us with the hard work." Elder Shan cursed loudly.

They were going to play the bad role where they forced disciples to their death while the Sect Leader would act incognito and have no idea what's going on.

"Jing Feng, you're not really going to choose disciples for the expedition right?" Elder Shan then asked Elder Jing.

Elder Jing showed a pale complexion. "We'll have to sacrifice some for the greater good. You should know that if we can't stop whatever conspiracy Tang Xin is cooking then the Phoenix Kingdom could be considered wiped out of the map."

Yang Wei sighed softly at this outcome.

"Since things have come this far then I wished to be able to go on the expedition." Yang Wei volunteered himself to be one of the disciples.

Although it may seem like a stupid decision, Yang Wei needed to hone himself and strived through countless dangers to improve.

Being safely protected by many Elders would never be the correct path to improve.

Elder Jing also understood Yang Wei's mindset so she remained silent while glancing at Elder Shan.

Elder Shan twitched her mouth at Elder Jing's action.

"Fine, we'll enroll Yang Wei in the mandatory force." She then said while glaring angrily at Elder Jing.

Elder Jing shrugged and gave her a thankful look.

Sometime later, Elder Shan and Elder Jing continued to discuss further how to proceed with this incident.

"So it's decided that we will hand over these outer disciples to the Phoenix Sky Sect." Elder Jing said.

"I guessed so." Elder Shan mumbled softly.

It was never a good feeling for her to choose disciples to go to their death even though they did nothing wrong.

"Anyway, I shall take my leave for now." Elder Shan then said as she stood up and left the courtyard.

Yang Wei glanced at Elder Shan's back briefly.

"Is Elder Shan going to be alright?" He then asked.

"Probably not." Elder Jing shook her head. "Shan Zhilan is the type to punish those who broke the rules very harshly but soft on the innocent."

"I see…" Yang Wei muttered in a low tone, seemingly concerned about Elder Shan's behavior.

Elder Jing chuckled softly as she stood up. "Well, I'm going to be a bit busy studying the pill clouds from your refinement. Thus, I won't be able to accompany you for at least an hour or so."

She then winked at him and entered the cultivation room.

Yang Wei smiled slightly at Elder Jing's action.

'Indeed, a mature and understanding woman like Jing Feng is better than the likes of Lian Xinyue.' Yang Wei exclaimed inwardly as he sat in a lotus position and took a few more moments to recover his spiritual qi.

After recovering a decent amount of spiritual qi, Yang Wei stood up as he prepared to head out.

Sometime later, Yang Wei arrived at the Disciplinary Hall and asked the guard standing nearby.

"Excuse me, but has Elder Shan returned yet?" Yang Wei cupped his fist at the guard as he asked him.

The guard remembered Yang Wei and knew that Elder Shan seemed to be fond of him.

Hence, the guard shook his head and replied respectfully. "Elder Shan hasn't returned since she headed out to the source of a dark lightning cloud."

Yang Wei thanked the guard for his information as he turned around and walked away.

'Hmm, Elder Shan isn't in the Disciplinary Hall then where could she be at.' Yang Wei wondered silently.

"Maybe she's back there…" Yang Wei muttered as he activated his movement technique.

With his swiftness, Yang Wei quickly arrived at the secretive room that Elder Shan had dragged him to.

Unfortunately, the room was locked and Yang Wei does not have the key to open it.

Yang Wei used his spiritual perception and sensed a sign of life inside the room, meaning Elder Shan was there.

After all, Elder Shan had told him that this was her personal and secretive room.

Yang Wei knocked on the door slightly. "Elder Shan, are you inside?"

There was no response from Elder Shan.

"I know you're inside, Elder Shan." Yang Wei knocked on the door again. "If you are not feeling good about something, then it's best to have a companion to talk it out with."

It took a few more moments before Elder Shan finally responded to Yang Wei.

"Go away, Yang Wei." Elder Shan said. "I'm taking a shower right now so unless you want to peek at your sect elder then please leave."

"..."

'This Elder Shan is really shameless with her excuse.' Yang Wei sighed softly as he sat down and leaned on the door.

"By all means, you can open the door when you're done showering. I doubt you'll be in the shower for the whole night." Yang Wei then said.

If Elder Shan thought she could get him to leave with a shower excuse then she couldn't be any more wrong.

"Elder Shan, if I count the time now and when you would open the door, people are going to be interested in how long you take." Yang Wei teased further.

Sometime later, Elder Shan opened the door when Yang Wei continued to blabber on nonstop.

"Are you done being annoying?" Elder Shan asked irritatingly.

Yang Wei stood up and smiled at her. He could see some redness around her eyes.

"I'll be done when you are alright." He then said.

"I'm fine and I don't need you pestering me."

"No can do."

Yang Wei ignored her pouty look as he walked inside, acting like he was the owner and just got home from work.

Elder Shan shut the door behind and glared angrily at Yang Wei. "Don't you know it's rude to enter a lady's room without permission?"

"Well, considering how you have been flirting and touching around me. I believe we have surpassed that part where I need permission to enter." Yang Wei smirked as he took a seat down on the couch.

Afterward, he pointed to an empty seat next to him and said, "You can tell me to leave when you're feeling better."
