Chapter 6: Ying Yue (2)
If he was being honest, Shen Yu would say Ying Yue was one of the most beautiful women he had seen—well, if he didn't include the original Shen Yu's memories.
She wasn't the tallest, but she stood high enough. She looked adorable with her small face, neck-length smooth, deep black hair, and golden orbs shining in her eyes.
Shen Yu smiled and gestured for her to sit at a table in the same room. He had thought about everything before making the quarters for the disciples, and the rooms included everything.
Ying Yue smiled and took Shen Yu's offer. She also had a lot of questions that she needed answers to. And Shen Yu was probably the only man who could answer her.
'Now that I think about it, this room is crazy. What's with the sick density of Qi? Even while standing, I can feel it circulating in my meridians. What kind of God he is to live in such a place?'
Ying Yue thought, stupified. She couldn't understand what kind of place she had entered after diving into that dangerous Formation. She had never experienced something like this before or even heard of it.
'So that dangerous Formation was actually of this man's sect? What did he call it again? Divine Harem Sect?'
Guessing the purpose of the sect from its name, Ying Yue blushed.
"So, I actually found you unconscious in the periphery of my sect. Those assassins were chasing you, I suppose?"
Shen Yu began the talk by serving Ying Yue a special tea he had obtained from the system like a gentleman.
"Yes, well, due to many things, those guys wanted to kill me, and since I was injured, I couldn't defend myself. They had sneaked upon me when I was vulnerable. That's what Assassins are..."
Ying Yue didn't want to lie to Shen Yu since he was her benefactor, but she also couldn't tell him the whole truth. What would she say? That she used to kill people just because her higher-ups told her to?
Although the world of cultivators was filled with bloodshed, honor and pride were also there. Assassins, being the kind of cultivators who led the path of cowardness, were despised by Cultivators who put their honor and pride above everything else.
Ying Yue was stunned, and her cup of tea almost slipped from her hand. She pointed her trembling finger at herself and asked.
"Did I say that aloud?"
"Yes, you did!"
Ying Yue's face burned red in embarrassment as she put her teacup down on the table. She cursed herself.
'Wasn't controlling emotions easy for me? Then why can't I do that with him?'
Shen Yu smiled, looking at Ying Yue as he tried his best not to blush. It was too cute of a sight for him, and he really wished he could squeeze those red cheeks. However, he held back his urges.
But he also made the decision. He would try to get Ying Yue into his sect. Sometimes, first impressions are all one needs to see how a person is, and Shen Yu was confident in his judgment. Ying Yue deserved to be in his sect. As for his harem, that depended on Ying Yue.
Ying Yue soon calmed down and thought about Shen Yu's words.
'So he really is a hidden expert who has reached great heights, and there's nothing more for him to achieve. And maybe something happened in his journey to the top that now he decided to help people? But why only females?'
Ying Yue was confused as she couldn't understand Shen Yu's reason for only taking female disciples. She had thought about the Harem part, but given Shen Yu's Cultivation, many Heavenly Beauties would throw themselves at him, so why was he doing this?
Ying Yue sipped all the tea in her thoughts but only then realized something. She looked at her empty cup in shock and thought.
'The hell! Why do I feel my Cultivation stabilizing after drinking this tea? Does this contain something special?'
Ying Yue really needed to get used to extraordinary things.
