Dual Cultivation With My Yandere Disciples

A few hours later, Chen Xuan sat silently, facing Su Ying’s cold gaze.

The joy of her previous breakthrough had vanished. A chilling aura spread through the courtyard.

"Peak Master, didn’t you promise that you would take care of the Peak while I was gone?" Su Ying asked in a sweet voice.

"Is this your definition of ’taking care of the Peak’? Going into seclusion and leaving the Peak leaderless?"

Facing Su Ying’s sweet smile, which seemed terrifying in his eyes, Chen Xuan couldn’t help but rub the back of his head in embarrassment.

Su Ying was right.

When Su Ying claimed that she wished to go into seclusion to prepare for her breakthrough, he had promised that he would take charge of the Peak and let her go with peace of mind.

But after receiving the rewards of the System, he immediately shut himself into seclusion and forgot about this.

Chen Xuan knew that anyone in his position would have reacted the same way.

Yet, he also knew that this was not an excuse. Or at least, it was not an excuse that Su Ying would be willing to accept.

Su Ying’s smile became even brighter upon seeing Chen Xuan’s silence.

Chen Xuan was speechless. He sensed her killing intent and noticed an oppressive, dark aura gather behind her head, like a storm was about to break.

If he didn’t give her a convincing explanation for his sudden disappearance, he would end up in danger!

Unfortunately, he couldn’t think of a single valid excuse. And Su Ying clearly realized this.

She interlaced her fingers and stretched them with a faint pop before silently advancing towards Chen Xuan.

With her very first step, alarm bells rang in Chen Xuan’s mind!

A flurry of thoughts rushed through his mind, and he was ready to flee.

Yet, just when Su Ying was practically next to him, a bulb lit up inside his head.

He suddenly remembered something.

"Cough, cough," he coughed awkwardly, "You’re right. It’s all my fault. I neglected taking care of the Peak," he apologized sincerely before changing his tune.

"However, it’s not because of my carelessness or my lack of concern for it."

His gaze straightened.

The embarrassed expression on his face vanished, replaced by a gentle smile.

"I happened to obtain an ancient inheritance the last time I went out. In that inheritance, I discovered the recipe for this pill," He flicked his wrist and a perfectly round, emerald-green pill materialized in his hand.

Under Su Ying’s puzzled gaze, which seemed rather disbelieving, Chen Xuan explained.

"This is the Jade Beauty Pill of the long-lost Medicine Emperor Sect. Its effects are incredible!"

"It can help a female cultivator retain her appearance forever. Of course, it only works for the most beautiful of women!" he said and handed the pill to Su Ying.

"This is my gift to celebrate your breakthrough."

Su Ying picked up the pill.

Though she was somewhat doubtful about Chen Xuan’s claims, she trusted him and knew that he would not deliberately harm her.

She chose to immediately swallow it despite her inner doubts.

The pill’s effects were nearly instantaneous.

The so-called Jade Beauty Pill quickly dissolved into pure energy and spread throughout Su Ying’s body.

As a Foundation Establishment cultivator, she was able to grasp the changes taking place inside her.

Su Ying sensed herself becoming younger.

Although her lifespan remained the same, she had a hunch that her appearance would remain young for the rest of her life.

Her first reaction was not joy, but astonishment.

Unlike Huo Ling’er, who took the pill’s effects for granted, Su Ying understood the preciousness of the Evergreen Pill.

Countless women throughout the cultivation world would go mad if its effects were to spread.

It was more than enough to cause a war between several domains.

’This must be a Heaven-Grade Pill! Only a Heaven-Grade Pill could possess such powerful effects!’

Su Ying couldn’t help but wonder how Chen Xuan had obtained the recipe and how he was able to refine it.

But she ultimately restrained her curiosity and chose not to question him.

She knew that it must be his secret. If he had wished to tell her, he would have already done so.

Asking at this point would not only be meaningless, but it would also betray his trust.

Still, Su Ying’s thoughts ran wild.

’I was too reckless!’

’Brother Chen obtained such a powerful recipe, and his first thought was to gift it to me! How could I have blamed him for this?’

’I’m unworthy of Brother Chen!’ she bit her lip.

Su Ying regretted her earlier actions.

She had been too harsh and too quick to blame him.

It was apparent that Chen Xuan had not been idle while she was in seclusion.

Or rather, he was extremely busy!

He had been working hard to prepare the gift for her breakthrough! Su Ying could imagine how difficult refining this pill must have been!

Chen Xuan must have worked for days without a break.

But rather than praise him, she had blamed him!

Shame flashed across Su Ying’s face, and she tried to think of a way to make up to him.

On the other side, Chen Xuan maintained a gentle smile and continued staring at Su Ying.

Inwardly, he was breathing a sigh of relief.

His trick had worked better than expected!

Judging by Su Ying’s guilty look, she had believed his lies and had already forgotten about the Yin Yang Peak’s matter!

’Thankfully, I’m witty and reacted quickly. Otherwise, Su Ying would have chased me all over Yin Yang Peak today.’ He thought while wiping the nonexistent sweat on his forehead.

However, when he noticed the intense self-blaming look on Su Ying’s face, it was his own turn to feel guilty.

He felt that he was bullying an honest and kind girl.

He was about to comfort her.

Just then, though, determination flashed across Su Ying’s eyes, combined with a trace of shyness.

She ignored her inner shame and reached behind her head to wrap her hair into a ponytail.

After glancing at Chen Xuan for a brief moment with a fierce gaze, she took a step closer and knelt before him.

Then, she gently reached out with her hands and unbuckled his robe...
