Chapter 158: Dual Cultivation!

Cheng Xiu, the female lead, had just stepped inside her master's pavilion when she found three unfamiliar faces. There was a stage inside the pavilion where her master, Kong Bao, stood with a stern look, glancing at everyone coldly.

It had been one day ever since she came in the Kunlun Sect, and she already knew where she was supposed to sit.

Below the stage, the front row was meant for the senior disciples, and behind them, others would stand depending on the level they were. And currently, Cheng Xiu was supposed to stand way behind everyone.

But she could still see everyone's faces clearly, and she was surprised to see three new people. A person draped in blue robes stood on the stage, leaning against the pillar with his arms crossed over his chest. The other two people were in the first and second rows, respectively, standing in the assembly.

Every morning, disciples would assemble here for morning meditation and studies for two hours before they would head over to their own masters' peaks. Technically, it was compulsory to attend this assembly every morning to grow spiritual energy inside the body. But these three people weren't there yesterday.

The female lead frowned and suddenly thought of the rumor, and realized that these three people were probably Elder Feng, Chang Hong, and Shen Qiu. But before she could confirm her suspicion, her master opened his mouth.

"Dear disciples who joined us yesterday, you might have heard of my junior martial brother Feng, his eldest disciple Chang, and his second disciple Shen Qiu. They had an accident yesterday, and that's why you couldn't meet them. But now that they're here, I'll introduce them one after another."

And then, her master continued with the introduction, but the female lead wasn't focused on that. Her eyes stuck to Feng Chao and Chang Hong, secretly giggling in her heart.

She was thankful that she joined the right fandom! The couple she shipped was so handsome!

Ah, she was grateful to meet her elder martial brothers and sisters who told her all the recent rumors about them!

On the other side, both Tyler and his senior standing on the stage didn't know that the female lead was also here. They just stood and daydreamed about their days inside Chang Hong's house the entire time the sect master uttered introductory words.

Just after that, Kong Bao made another announcement that attracted Tyler's attention.

"After two years, the secret realm will open once again." The sect master paused and said, "But there's a restriction. Disciples and elders above the core formation stage can only enter the place. So dear disciples, if you want to get spiritual herbs and weapons hidden in the depths of the secret realm, get ready and raise your level!" He paused and tilted his head, feeling as if he forgot about something, but he couldn't remember what.

Feng Chao sighed. He just wanted to get over with this to spend more time with Tyler, but it seemed that this sect master wanted to say many things today! So he couldn't help himself and opened his mouth. "This secret realm is unique. It'll only open for one month and close again for another fifty years. If you guys can come out safely, you'll be fine. But if not, you'll be locked inside for a long time.

"When I think about it, I don't think it's anything bad to get stuck inside the realm. After all, that place is rich with spiritual energy. But there's also danger lurking in every nook and corner." Elder Feng glanced at the sea of disciples before him, and then his eyes stopped at his eldest disciple. A smile formed on his lips. "So make sure to get stronger in a short amount of time."

Tyler's ears turned red when he heard the words 'get stronger' from his lover's mouth. And there was a good reason why he blushed like that. 

This was the third day after the Qi Deviation. So as soon as Tyler and Elder Feng met Kong Bao, Shen Qiu, and other senior disciples, they realized that the air around those two people had changed. Tyler and his lover were acting intimately, and the male lead even had his arms around the former's waist!

Everyone glanced at the two of them strangely. Even Tyler started to feel uncomfortable from their collective gazes.

Zhao Jiayi was especially smirking when he saw how his master held his senior martial brother in public.

At that moment, Feng Chao told the people assembled there about Tyler's condition and how he wanted his eldest disciple to become a dual cultivation partner for the sake of everyone's safety.

Tyler still remembered seeing the color draining from Shen Qiu's face. The latter tried to make excuses and go against this decision, but since Master Feng was stubbornly insisting on this, no one dared to say another word. And even Shen Qiu silenced his mouth.

And when everyone gave their consent, Tyler could only glare at the male lead and say 'shameless' in his heart a thousand times. But things didn't stop there. The male lead insisted on arranging for the dual cultivation ceremony right there in an hour!

Since Kong Bao knew how stubborn his junior martial brother was, he didn't say anything and ordered the servants to arrange for the ceremony.

And overnight, both Feng Chao and Chang Hong became dual cultivation partners.

What's more? The male lead burst into Tyler's house with luggage and jumped on the latter's bed freely. So Tyler didn't have a choice but to kick the male lead out for the night because that man didn't ask him before forcing him into becoming a dual cultivation partner.

He was not complaining, but he hated the fact that his lover wasn't listening to him and even rebelling in such a flashy manner. So the entire night, the poor male lead was punished for staying outside Chang Hong's house.

But as soon as it was dawn, Feng Chao rushed inside and declared that he would help Tyler become stronger than everyone.

At first, the latter was skeptical, but he suddenly realized what the male lead meant, and his entire face turned red. This shameless man was flirting with him indirectly!

Feng Chao didn't really want to focus on becoming stronger, but on the activity of dual cultivation behind closed doors! He even said that both would go to closed-door cultivation and do it day and night to increase their power.

It had taken Tyler a long time to calm down after that. Now that the male lead shamelessly brought this topic again in front of all the assembled disciples, both new and old, Tyler couldn't help but blush furiously, averting his eyes.
