161 Making Choices (2/2)
”For others that are thinking about the second path, I see two possible options.” He said, ”The first one may take a longer time and there may be dangers. That would be to travel the world for a period of time and search for a loose cultivator that you can take as your husband. It will be a challenge but you may find a person you truly like.”
Reactions were mixed to this, which he expected. Loose cultivators didn't have a good reputation in the eyes of immortal set disciples. They were people that were either kicked out of immortal sects for being trouble makers or ones that never had that talent in the first place.
”The second option is safer but depends on if you accept it or not. Since I am in full control of Divine Blazing Mountain, I have purged all the men who have harmed you in the past. But there are still many male disciples remaining and you are free to choose your partner from any of them. I have also stipulated that if a match is made, the male disciple has to divorce all of their previous wives if he has any. He is also not allowed to have any other wives in the future.”
This was met by yet more mixed reactions. Chen Wentian sighed; these were the best he could come up with. They had the freedom to choose whatever they wished. Pretty much all of the questions had been answered and nobody else raised their hands. He told them to think about it and adjourned the meeting.
He turned to his disciples, ”We're going back to the sect soon, so say your goodbyes for now.”
”Yes master.” They said.
After the five of them ran off, Long Yifei approached him. She had a curious expression on her face that he could not discern.
”Sir Chen… I have some things I want to ask, but can we speak about it in private.” She asked.
Chen Wentian was taken aback but he quickly nodded and the pair left the crowd of women and into an empty hallway.
Once they were sufficiently alone and out of earshot, she turned to him, ”Sir, if I may ask, what would happen to the other disciples of the sect. Can we also learn the complete secret art?”
”Umm… sure?” He said lamely, not sure where this conversation was going. ”You can choose a partner cultivate it if that is what you want.”
Long Yifei stared at him silently for a long time. Chen Wentian felt a bit self-conscious as she seemingly took measure of every detail of his body and appearance. She must have seen something she liked because her next words left him dumfounded.
She looked into his eyes and spoke with complete seriousness, ”If that is the case, I have made my choice. Will you be my dual cultivation partner?”
