Cultivation Online novel Chapter 304

Chapter 304 - Handshake

"I see... Sorry to bother you..." Wang Xiuying sighed after being told off by Elder Shan, and she turned around with a dejected look on her face.

However, a stiff voice suddenly resounded, halting her steps.

"Wait."

"Huh?" Wang Xiuying turned around, and to her surprise, Yuan was looking at her, even walking in her direction.

"D-Disciple Yuan?" Elder Shan looked at him with wide eyes. He ignored all of the male cultivators when they tried to approach him, but when it came to a pretty young lady approaching him, he didn’t mind it, even responding to her?

A few moments later, Yuan stood in front of the speechless Wang Xiuying.

He then extended his hand, almost like he was asking for a handshake.

Wang Xiuying stared at Yuan’s hands in a dazed manner, her eyes filled with disbelief.

"You wanted a handshake, right?" Yuan asked her in a low voice so she won’t easily recognize him, snapping her out of her daze.

"Y-Yes! Sorry for the delay!" Wang Xiuying nodded her head before she quickly reached for Yuan’s hands, giving him a firm handshake.

’What a pair of beautiful and clear eyes— it reminds me of someone...’ Wang Xiuying thought to herself when she looked at Yuan’s bright eyes through the holes in the mask, feeling nostalgic for some reason, almost like she’d seen them before.

"Umm..."

Despite shaking hands for longer than one normally would, Wang Xiuying didn’t remove her hands from Yuan, almost like she’d forgotten about it after seeing his eyes.

"Oh! Sorry!" Wang Xiuying hastily released her grasp once she realized the situation.

"Anyways, I am Healer Wang, and I’m from the Medicine Valley. It’s an honor to finally meet you, Player Yuan! Thank you for shaking my hands, and good luck in the Mystic Realm!" Wang Xiuying gave Yuan her nickname, completely unaware that Yuan already knew her real identity.

’Healer Wang...?’ Yuan raised his eyebrows at her name but he didn’t say anything, merely nodding in silence.

Once Wang Xiuying left, Yuan returned to the others.

"Yuan, that girl was Doctor Wang’s..." Meixiu also recognized Wang Xiuying since she visits Doctor Wang’s hospital often with Yu Rou.

"Yes, it was Wang Xiuying," Yuan confirmed. "Just like you, she looked almost like she did when she was young, so I immediately knew it was her."

"So you knew her?" Elder Shan said.

Yuan nodded, "Yes, she’s a good friend of mine."

Elder Shan became even more confused after hearing such words since it looked the complete opposite just now, almost like it was their first meeting, especially since Wang Xiuying didn’t appear to know him.

Sometime later, they returned to their lodging.

Inside, Yuan spoke, "Since I cannot bring treasures inside, I won’t be able to hide my face... Are there any methods to get around this?"

Long Yijun then said, "That’s simple— you can just wear an ordinary mask inside."

"I see..."

"I can go buy one right now." Elder Xuan said.

"Thank you for your trouble," Yuan said to him.

Elder Xuan left the place shortly after to buy some masks for Yuan.

Long Yijun said afterward, "Here are the tokens for the Mystic Realm. Don’t lose them or you won’t be able to enter the Mystic Realm."

He then handed a blue token to each of the participants.

"Disciple Yuan, here." Elder Xuan handed Yuan a black mask, but it was made of ordinary material. _{freewebnøvel.coɱ}
