Double Cultivation
even now I can't stop thinking about it
"What do you think of the pill, Matriak?" Elder Deng asked for his opinion. "How does it compare to a high-quality pill?"
"This is without a doubt a pill with 100% quality – pills of perfect quality." Matriak Zhu's arm trembled as it held the bottle. "As for the power of the pill .. unless I try it myself, I have no way of comparing the two."
"But this pill ...Even with this seal in the bottle, I can still smell the fresh scent emanating from the pill."
Elder Deng sighed, "Just who is this young man …? He's full of surprising abilities and secrets that we can't understand."
"…" Matriarch Zhu did not answer him and remained silent. Although he was quite well known to Su Yang as the son of the immortal elf Su Yue, it was still hard to believe.
"Where is the immortal elf Su Yue now? Why did his son suddenly appear? Is this related to the appearance of the Ghost Girl?" he wonders to himself.
"Umm ..." Qing Shan silently stood there while Matriak Zhu held the Advanced Spirit Refreshment Pill tightly in his grasp, seemingly unwilling to let it go.
Even though he had already prepared for such an outcome before, he was still afraid that Matriak would try to take this precious pill from him, and his heart would definitely get hurt if that happened.
"Hmm?" Matriarch Zhu noticed the way Qing Shan looked at him nervously and smiled,
"Calm down, Qing Shan. I won't lie and say I don't want this pill for myself – actually, I really want it – but I'm not that low to steal it from my own students. "
Said matriak zhu while handing the bottle to him.
Qing Shan sighed in relief inwardly after holding the pill in his hand again.
Matriak Zhu then continued, "Although I won't take this pill from you, I don't plan on doing anything either. I have many offers in my mind that I want to exchange for this pill, either, so why don't we sit down and talk about it? "
Hearing her words, Qing Shan showed her an apologetic smile, and said, "Sorry, Matriak, but I have no intention to give this pill to exchange– no matter what."
"…"
Matriarch Zhu fell silent, as did Elder Deng. They understood his feelings perfectly. If they were in position, they would also say the same no matter from whom the offer came.
"It's a pity, but I fully understand." Matriak Zhu shook his head, feeling sad. "Make sure to keep the pill safe – even if it costs your life!"
"I will!" Qing Shan did not need Matriak Zhu to say such a thing to him, as he would do so even without his words.
Matriak Zhu and Elder Deng left a little later.
"What should we do with him now?" Elder Deng asked him.
"You just need to focus on your part. I have a mind of my own." said Matriak.
"… Yes, Matriak." Elder Deng did not speak anymore.
Elder Deng and Matriak Zhu walked apart a moment later.
"Murid Gu welcomes the Sect Master!"
"Murid Lin greeted Matriak!"
"Murid Pan greeted Sect Master!"
The three Core Disciples stood in front of Matriak Zhu with their bodies bent and faces full of respect.
"Where did he go?" Matriarch Zhu suddenly said, "There's no record of him leaving the Sect, yet I don't feel his presence in the Sect."
"…" The three disciples started smiling with bitter expressions. They knew exactly who Matriak was talking about even though no names were mentioned.
"And don't try to hide it from me. Even if you're a core disciple, I'll punish you for lying in front of my face" Matriak said
"…" The three Core Disciples exchanged looks over each other, before one of them opened his mouth to speak, "Although I don't know why, I did, senior brother Zhu went to the Sacred Sword Academy to meet their Master Disciple after receiving some sort of message from him, and it seemed like an emergency, seeing him leave in a hurry. "
"Holy Sword Academy again? I should have known!" Matriak Zhu washed his face. "Yes, why does the boy go there even though I constantly warn him?"
"Since he had been friends with the old man's daughter all those years ago, he had grown more and more disobedient!" he thinks to himself.
When Matriak Zhu sent the core Disciple away, then, he took out a communication talisman and directed a few simple words towards the Sacred Sword Academy, saying, "Tell my daughter to come back this very moment!"

Inside the Sacred Sword Academy, Wu Jinjing sat before a young woman of the same age as him and an appearance that rivaled his own.
The young lady looked at Wu Jinjing with eyes full of disbelief, and she spoke, "Sister Jinjing, you must be joking with me!"
Wu Jinjing shook his head with a smile on his face, and he said, "I'm telling the truth. I met a young man in the Nine Spring Hall, and I will give birth to his son in the future."
"B-But you just met him, right? How could you do such a thing when you were practically still a stranger! That ... It was unthinkable even by the freaks out there, let alone people like you!"
"You won't understand," Wu Jinjing remained calm and said. "He was someone who defied all common sense, and that uniqueness devoured my reasoning. Even now, I can't stop thinking about it."
"What about your dream to surpass your father and become the best swordsman in the world ?! How will you achieve such a goal now that you are about to conceive a child ?!"
"Although giving birth to this child will definitely slow down my pace, it will not stop me from achieving my goal!" Wu Jinjing said as he rubbed his stomach with a passionate expression, making the young lady dumbfounded, who had never seen a side of himself like this.
"This ... this is crazy!" The young lady became speechless and almost fainted from shock.
