Cultivation Online novel Chapter 425

Chapter 425 - Core Disciple

After Xuan Wuhan kissed him on the cheeks and went back inside her house, Yuan touched the spot she kissed with a dazed look on his face, the sensation of her soft lips still lingering on his cheeks.

"What was that about?" He mumbled in a low voice.

’The girls in the cultivation world... They are truly bold...’ Meixiu sighed inwardly.

If she had such boldness, what would her situation be like right now?

After standing in front of Xuan Wuhan’s living quarters for a couple of moments, Yuan and Meixiu left the scene.

"Are you sure about this decision?"

Inside Xuan Wuhan’s living quarters, Elder Xuan sat on the couch with a cup of tea in his hands.

A bittersweet smile appeared on Xuan Wuhan’s face, and she said, "I am satisfied with just that. I know my limits. He and I... we live in two separate worlds. There’s no way I am worthy to follow him."

"You’re thinking too much. It’s not about your worth, but whether he’ll accept you or not, and if you don’t ask him, how will he know, much less accept you?"

"I-I think I was pretty obvious with my actions just now..." Xuan Wuhan said in a dumbfounded voice.

"Haha... You underestimate him, Wuhan. Yuan... He’s a special fellow who’s also quite naive and innocent. He probably won’t understand the meaning behind your actions unless you tell him straight."

Xuan Wuhan sighed, "It is what is it... I have already said my goodbyes. Even I don’t have the guts to approach him after what happened just now. I will need at least a few months to recover."

"Do whatever you want, I guess..." Elder Xuan said to her, and after finishing his tea, he left her place.

Meanwhile, Yuan went to find Elder Shan at the Blossom Peak.

Once they arrived, Yuan noticed Elder Shan giving lectures to her disciple right outside her living quarters just like his last visit.

"I’m sorry to disturb your lecture again, Senior Shan." Yuan approached them.

"That is..."

This time, Elder Shan’s disciples looked at Yuan in a different light, almost like they were filled with admiration.

"Disciple Yuan? Do you need anything from me? And you don’t have to worry about disturbing us. I’m not really lecturing them," she said to him.

Yuan then said, "I know you already know this, but I want to say goodbye formally."

"Thank you for everything, Elder Shan." Yuan lowered his head a little to pay his respects.

"W-Why are you thanking me? I barely taught you anything. In fact, I should be the one thanking you..." Elder Shan was taken aback.

"That’s not true, Senior Shan. I have learned a lot from you, and it’s always a pleasant feeling with you around."

Elder Shan couldn’t help but smile after hearing Yuan’s words, and she spoke in an enchanting voice, "Are you trying to court me before you leave? It’s working pretty well. But alas, if only I was a little younger."

"Eh?" Yuan was puzzled by her words. What did she mean by ’courting’ her?

"Good luck out there, Yuan, and most importantly, stay safe." Elder Shan said to him.

Yuan nodded. "I will."

"Before you go."

Elder Shan suddenly stepped forward with her arms spread.
