Chapter 30: The Perfect Combination

Bai Yufeng slowly opened his eyes when he sensed Senior Wu's presence approaching him from a distance.

"To find me so soon, did something happen? Or have you already come to a decision?" Bai Yufeng asked when Senior Wu landed before him.

"My disciple has come to a decision. He will accept your offer." Senior Wu said.

"Are you sure? There's no need to rush such a big decision."

"Yes, we are sure. Regardless of his decision, it is a fact that he's too talented for a place as small as the Fleeting Sword Sect."

Senior Wu clasped his hands together and slightly lowered his head, "Please, take good care of my disciple."

Bai Yufeng stood up and walked to stand in front of Senior Wu before placing a hand on his shoulder.

"That's only a natural. And I may be providing him with a cultivation technique and giving him some guidance, but ultimately, you are still his master."

"Thank you, Senior Bai. The Fleeting Sword Sect owes you a great favor."

"Don't even mention it. I am doing this because it already benefits me and my sect greatly." Bai Yufeng shook his head.

He continued, "Anyway, I will leave for a few weeks to prepare. I also need to let my sect know of the situation here since the cultivation technique isn't something I can just hand out without approval. Naturally, they wouldn't refuse the chance to covet someone with the Boundless Yang Constitution."

Sometime later, Bai Yufeng left while Senior Wu returned to the Fleeting Sword Sect, where he spent the next several weeks improving Su Yang's swordsmanship while getting him ready to utilize Yang Qi.

"There are two methods that are most commonly used by cultivators to utilize their Yang Qi. The first method is related to dual cultivators, so I won't mention it. The second method, which you'll be practicing in the near future, requires you to convert your Yang Qi into an element, such as fire, which also happens to be the most used element due to its efficiency and performance."

"..."

However, Bai Yufeng didn't respond.

He simply stood there with a dazed expression on his face as he silently glared at Su Yang's devilishly handsome appearance.

"Y-you..."

Since Su Yang wore his mask during their initial meeting, Bai Yufeng wasn't aware of his appearance.

After seeing Su Yang's face which was undoubtedly superior to his own, Bai Yufeng swallowed nervously and thought to himself, 'Heaven, oh heaven... why would you give someone blessed with such a handsome appearance the Boundless Yang Constitution? Are you purposefully provoking the dual cultivators or something?'

"I apologize for wearing a mask before. I am usually wearing one so I didn't even realize it." Su Yang said a moment later when Bai Yufeng remained silent.

"O-oh, there's no need to apologize. I wasn't expecting someone with the Boundless Yang Constitution to have such a... pleasant-looking appearance."

"Huh? So you thought he was wearing a mask because he was ugly? But what does that have anything to do with the Boundless Yang Constitution?" Senior Wu couldn't help but ask.

Bai Yufeng showed a bittersweet smile and said, "Having the Boundless Yang Consitution is already a heaven-defying talent, so one would expect the heavens to balance things out by giving him a negative trait—as they typically do. Since the Boundless Yang Constitution affects dual cultivators the most, it would make sense to make him incredibly ugly to deter dual cultivators from approaching him."

"Now that you mention it... that does make sense, as there have been plenty of cases where cultivators born with heaven-defying talent are also cursed with an incurable sickness and die an early death or something that prevents them from using their talents to the fullest..." Senior Wu muttered with a look of realization on his face.

Bai Yufeng nodded, "Many claim the heavens to be fair, but it's undoubtedly an envious phenomenon—at least that's what I believe. Why else would it constantly try to hinder cultivators when they are about to achieve greatness with Heavenly Tribulations?"

"Anyways, you are incredibly lucky, Su Yang, for you have managed to slip through heaven's blind spot and were born with the perfect combination—a handsome appearance and the Boundless Yang Constitution. I can already imagine what the world of dual cultivation will do once they learn of your existence." Bai Yufeng chuckled in a joking manner.

However, Senior Wu's expression darkened after hearing such words, and he sighed, "A-about that..."
