450 Let Us Cultivate Together Part I (1/2)

In the midsummer evening, even the cold starlight could not add a bit of chill. However, Ye Hongyu's pale face and indifferent voice made people feel that they were in a snowy winter, instead of being in the courtyard beside the lake.

”I won't die, so nobody will come after you. I just need time to cultivate.”

Ning Que thought it was justified that she was cultivating. But he did not know what the amazing method of cultivation she had from the Divine Hall. Ning Que said softly, ”You can cultivate alone. But cultivating with me is also a good choice. If you encounter some difficulties, you can talk with me. Maybe it will be beneficial to your cultivation.”

Ye Hongyu replied coldly, ”How could you be so kind?”

Ning Que did not bat an eye and said, ”Cultivating with me may be a win-win situation.”

Ye Hongyu calmly said, ”You've said that even Chen Pipi dared not flirt with me with such bestial words. You are such a nudnik.”

Ning Que was startled and said, ”I didn't use bestial words.”

Ye Hongyu silently looked into his eyes and saw that there was no shame and awkwardness in his eyes. She thought that the double cultivation method was a top secret in the Divine Hall. ”Maybe he didn't know that?”

However, she had experienced his indifference and impudence many times in the Tianqi Mountains while in the Wilderness. Therefore, she would not insist on her previous thought but said, ”You are a student of the Headmaster, there's no need for you to learn from me.”

”I've said that I didn't want to steal anything from you. I just want to share with each other.”

Ning Que paused for a little while and said with a smile, ”All right, I do want to learn something from you. Although there is almost everything in our Academy, there are no Classics on Divine Skill.”

”You know the Divine Skills.”

He stared into her eyes and said, ”By the Daming Lake, I saw the boundless grandeur lights.”

Ye Hongyu said, ”Divine Skill is the top secret in Haotian Taoism.”

Ning Que said, ”Sangsang is the inheritor of the Divine Priest of Light. She is qualified to learn the Divine Skill. However the Great Divine Priest of Light passed away too early, so, she learned little from him.”

Ye Hongyu frowned a little bit.

Ning Que said, ”What are you worrying about? Are you afraid that you will be replaced by Sangsang as the number one in the group of West-Hill's young powerhouses?”

Ye Hongyu said, ”Are you goading me?”

Ning Que said, ”Yes.”

Ye Hongyu said, ”I knew that it was your trick to goad me. Why should I agree?”

Ning Que said with a smile, ”Because you are the most powerful Tao Addict. How could you be afraid of being surpassed by Sangsang?”

Ye Hongyu responded with a poker face, ”I won't worry about something that will never become true.”

Ning Que asked, ”Then, why don't you agree to it?”

Ye Hongyu thought for a long time and said, ”But what would you give me in return?”

Ning Que answered in a very serious manner, ”The house rent.”

Ye Hongyu looked at him quietly and said, ”I have underestimated you.”

Ning Que asked, ”My impudence?”

Ye Hongyu nodded.

Ning Que turned and was ready to leave the guest room.

Ye Hongyu stared at his back and opened her mouth to suddenly say, ”You can't be present and she can't tell you what she has learned.”

Ning Que stopped walking, looked back at her and said seriously, ”I can swear this on the Headmaster's name.”

...

...

It was a bit of a pity that Ning Que had not discovered any of Ye Hongyu's secrets. Thus, he could not take advantage of them. But he believed that as long as she continued to live in Chang'an, he would have the chance to discover her secrets one day.

Lying in the big bed, like the last dozen summers, he held Sangsang's little feet, which were as white as lotuses and as cool as jade. He enjoyed the exclusive sense of coolness and refreshment in the hot summer.

”I don't know why she agreed to it, but this is a good opportunity. She is the only one that I admire in the West-Hill Divine Palace. I don't mind how far you can go in the process of cultivating Divine Skill, but I believe it will help you in getting rid of the cold inside your body faster.”

Sangsang felt a little bit itchy and rubbed her feet on Ning Que. Then, she answered by grunting in a soft voice.

Looking at the silvery starlight and hearing the intermittent cicada chirps, Ning Que found that the feet in his arms turned warm while his mind became increasingly calmer. He thought about how he had traveled with the Calligraphy Addict. Now, he was living with the Tao Addict. He wondered about Long Qing, as he might be dead. The Flower Addict might come for revenge, but maybe he could convert this enemy into a friend. Therefore, he would have close relationships with the three Addicts in the world. It must be a good story on everybody's lips.

Thinking about this, he was very proud of himself. However, the silvery starlight turned into fluffy snow in front of Chang'an's red wall in winter. It frustrated him to think about that girl in the snow with long black hair and charming appearance.

Sangsang had been able to perceive his most subtle mood change since they were children. She could sense that Ning Que was getting frustrated just from that moment of silence, so she asked curiously, ”What are you thinking about?”

Ning Que rubbed her little feet and said, ”Nothing to worry about.”

He thought in his mind that it was such a helpless life that he could not even imagine beautiful and happy moments.
