Cultivation Online novel Chapter 189

Chapter 189 - Instrument Store

After a moment of silence, Elder Shan cleared her throat and said, "While that is true, have you forgotten who I am? As a sect elder, there are risks I must take, and I am very confident that I can protect myself. After all, I have managed to protect myself for over three hundred years in this world dominated by beasts."

Fei Yuyan looked at her with her eyebrows raised, unsure of what to think at this moment.

"A-Anyway, you are lucky that Disciple Yuan is a good kid, or your maiden status would’ve been revoked during your first night together." Elder Shan then said, before quickly changing the subject.

"By the way, do you have feelings for Disciple Yuan? Do you like him?"

"L-Like him?" Fei Yuyan’s jaw dropped slightly. Why does Elder Shan care so much about their relationship? She’s usually not such a busybody, and it was almost like she’s jealous of them or something.

"While I respect Disciple Yuan, even admire him for his talents, so I definitely like him, but I don’t think it’s that sort of ’like’ Master is thinking about... I think," Fei Yuyan responded after a moment of silence.

"Why do you ask, Master?" Fei Yuyan decided to ask her.

"No reason, really. I was just curious since this is my first time seeing you so close to a man— almost intimately." Elder Shan said.

And she continued, "Since you don’t have any serious feelings for him nor did anything really happened between you two, I guess there’s no need for us to continue the conversation any longer. Let’s go. You want to go to the music shop, right?"

"You’re coming with us, Master?" Fei Yuyan asked her with a surprised look.

"Of course. I have a duty to protect Disciple Yuan. If anything happens to him, the Sect Master will have my head..." Elder Shan said.

"Just who is Disciple Yuan, and why is the sect so protective of him?" Fei Yuyan asked.

However, Elder Shan shook her head and said, "Even if you are my disciple, I am not allowed to tell you. But you’re a smart girl, so you’ll most likely figure it out without me. And if you can wait a few more weeks, you’ll know exactly why the sect treasures Disciple Yuan so much."

"A few more weeks?" Fei Yuyan immediately pondered.

The first thing that appeared in her mind after hearing Elder Shan’s words was the Mystic Realm, one of the biggest events occurring in the Lower Heavens this year, and coincidentally, it’s only a few weeks away.

"D-Don’t tell me... Disciple Yuan... He’s going to participate in the Mystic Realm?" Fei Yuyan couldn’t help but ask.

Elder Shan merely smiled at Fei Yuyan’s guess without replying or confirming it.

’I see... So Disciple Yuan’s going to be participating in the Mystic Realm...’ Fei Yuyan thought to herself after seeing Elder Shan’s smile.

Sometime later, they left the room and regrouped with the others.

"Are we ready to go?" Yuan asked them afterward.

"Yes, let’s go."
