Chapter 456: Chapter 276 Yun Xianxian_1

Although Palace Master Yun Xianxian would always speak as if all men were alike, appearing to despise them, she had never forbidden romantic relationships between the male and female disciples of the Mysterious Moon Palace, let alone prohibited their intimate relations.

On one hand, she was well aware that humans have the seven emotions and six desires, and the Tao of Cultivation is the loneliest journey; repressing one’s emotions and desires for a long time will inevitably lead to an accumulation of negative emotions, which can easily cause a cultivator to deviate during practice.

On the other hand, of course, she told Chen Wanrong that she wanted to see if any disciple of the Mysterious Moon Palace could comprehend the Dual Cultivation Skill.

As of now, not a single disciple had grasped the Dual Cultivation Skill, but certain disciples with Dao companions had noticeably faster cultivation speeds after obtaining Dao companions compared to those without, a phenomenon that Yun Xianxian had long noticed.

Naturally, compared to some ascetic disciples, those with Dao companions found it hard to stand out significantly.

For example, a woman she once brought up the mountain focused all her energy on cultivation; unlike Chen Wanrong, who was her direct disciple, she just gave the woman her Cultivation Technique and offered some guidance. Originally, she wasn’t optimistic about the female disciple, yet she managed to break through to the Heavenly Human Realm in a short period of time.

Of course, even though abstinence could accelerate cultivation speed and enable one to go farther, Yun Xianxian never considered forbidding the disciples of the Mysterious Moon Palace from seeking Dao companions. In her view, some people are simply not meant to travel far on this path.

However, this did not include her two direct disciples, one being Chu Yue and the other Chen Wanrong.

Yet, both of her direct disciples disregarded her words and insisted on finding men, which greatly annoyed her.

After examining Chen Wanrong’s body and confirming there was no Evil Yin Energy within her, Yun Xianxian was pretty sure that Lu Chen practiced some authentic Dual Cultivation Skill, which somewhat relieved her. As long as Lu Chen was not using the crooked paths of demonic cultivation, not exploiting women’s Primordial Yin for his own cultivation, it would be acceptable.

No wonder Chen Wanrong had just said that Lu Chen treated his women well; the Dual Cultivation Skill requires harmony of mind and spirit between man and woman, so naturally, Lu Chen would be good to his wives and concubines.

Being able to achieve such harmony also implied, from another perspective, that Lu Chen likely truly cherished his wives and concubines; otherwise, he wouldn’t be able to use the authentic Dual Cultivation Skill.

At this thought, Palace Master Yun reflected that Yue’er’s child turned out to be a man of great affection.

At this moment, Chen Wanrong spoke, “Master, since I and the North Prince practice the authentic Dual Cultivation Skill, may I resign my position as the Palace Master and marry the North Prince to cultivate in the North Prince Mansion?”

Seeing that Chen Wanrong was still thinking about going to the North Country, Palace Master Yun said coldly, “Even if you practice the authentic Dual Cultivation Skill, what of it? The greatest taboo of the Dual Cultivation Skill is inconstancy of affection. He, as a Seignior, has so many wives and concubines — how much of his heart can be on you? Sooner or later, he will deviate.”

Confronted with Yun Xianxian’s words, Chen Wanrong was despairing inside. It seemed she was destined to be confined to the Mysterious Moon Palace by her own master.

She wondered if Lu Chen had been serious when he spoke those words, telling her that if she did not return, he would come and take her back by force.

She actually hoped that Lu Chen wasn’t serious, for although she might never see Lu Chen again in her life, she was even less eager for a conflict to arise between the North Country and the Mysterious Moon Palace.

Just as Chen Wanrong thought she might never see Lu Chen again in her life, Yun Xianxian said, “Enough; what’s done is done. Since your Pure Yin Body has been broken, there is no other way but to accept the mistake as it is.”

Hearing this, Chen Wanrong could hardly believe her ears; she gazed at Yun Xianxian’s icy face and then asked, “Master, do you mean you’ll allow me to leave the mountain?”

Yun Xianxian snorted and replied, “You’re thinking too highly of yourself. Since you’ve been appointed by me as the Palace Master of the Mysterious Moon Palace, you’re to keep that position.”

“Once my strength recovers somewhat, I myself will go to test that lover of yours. If he has feelings for you, I can permit you to enhance your Cultivation State through the Dual Cultivation Skill in the future. But if he’s only fond of your body, without real affection, then you will stay in the Mysterious Moon Palace for good, never thinking of going to him again.”

This…

Chen Wanrong was anxious inside; she hadn’t expected her master to actually consider going to test Lu Chen.

If her master found Lu Chen to be a lecherous libertine, preoccupied with women instead of proper affairs, wouldn’t that mean the end of her relationship with him?

To be honest, at this point, Chen Wanrong had no confidence in Lu Chen at all; she didn’t believe for a second that he could withstand her master’s test.

After spending time with Lu Chen, she saw him as thoroughly lecherous. Although he indeed could improve his skill through the Dual Cultivation Skill, to Chen Wanrong, it seemed Lu Chen was more interested in the pleasures than in cultivation. She didn’t think Lu Chen had his mind set on dual cultivation.

Despite her anxiety, Chen Wanrong dared not say no outright. If she strongly resisted her master’s decision to go down the mountain and test Lu Chen, her master would surely conclude that something was wrong with him.
