Chapter 53 : Another Type of Cultivation 2 (2/2)

Shi Sheng was speechless. ‘Wasn’t Lin Yiyi at the 7th level of Qi Refining? And she has Fire Spirit veins too! What are you yelling for?!’

After a few strange crashing sounds, Lin Yiyi entered with a crestfallen face. There were water marks on her body, causing her to look slightly dishevelled.

“Martial Aunt…” ‘Why did you fling icicles at me the moment I opened the door?!’

“Ahem… I was just testing it out to see if it was any good.”

Lin Yiyi blinked before asking with pleasant surprise, “Martial Aunt, you’ve built your Foundation? That’s great! I knew Martial Aunt was the best!!!”

‘Hey, hey, why are you answering your own question, huh? Also, you’re still at the 7th level of the Qi Refining stage! How can you tell if I’ve built my Foundation or not?!’

Only when Lin Yiyi had calmed down did Shi Sheng find out she guessed it. ‘I think you’re the only person who can get so excited from your own guess…’

“Oh right, Grandmaster said you’d be leaving seclusion today. He said to go find him when you come out.” Only now did Lin Yiyi recall what she was there for.

She had only met Yu Xiao twice since she had taken over. The first was when she woke up. The second was when Yu Xiao delivered the pill to her. After that, she had gone into closed door cultivation so this would only be the third time she was seeing Yu Xiao.

Yu Xiao still looked like a forbidden male god; His eyes were cold, as if the concern she had seen there had been an illusion.

“Xiaoshu… You’ve built your Foundation?” Yu Xiao noticed Shi Sheng’s current cultivation at a glance.

In Shan Shu’s memories, this Master of hers had always been this cold. Though he wasn’t strict, he definitely wasn’t doting either. Hence, Shan Shu had always been a bit afraid of this Master of hers.

“I wasn’t paying attention and somehow broke through…” It really had been an accident. All she had done was to cultivate according to Shan Shu’s memories but perhaps it was because this body was very talented, for she managed to successfully enter Foundation Building.

“It seems like the things I’ve prepared won’t be able to be of any use.” Yu Xiao nodded slightly before keeping the things on the table. “In a few days, the sect is going to the Mortal World to look for new disciples. Your Senior Martial Brother will be the one in charge so if you want to go, just tell Bai Lang.”

Shi Sheng took in Yu Xiao’s actions. She couldn’t help but exclaim inwardly, ‘This Master with face-paralysis is actually a warm-hearted one ah!’

“This disciple understands.”

‘Wasn’t Ye Qingqiu going on this trip to the Mortal World too? And she’ll meet her male lead there too…’

That’s right, the two leads would meet early on. It was just that the male lead was in such a sorry state that had Shi Sheng not known the whole story, she wouldn’t have felt that fellow was the male lead.

‘*clicks tongue* Not going would be a disgrace to my(bbb) status as a villain! I(bbb) should at least go to shake things up a bit!’

Yu Xiao suspiciously glanced at Shi Sheng. ‘Why do I feel like this disciple of mine had a bit of… wickedness coming off her just now?’

But when he took a closer look, that feeling vanished.

‘Am I just too tired from these few days of pill-refining?’

“You may leave.”

Shi Sheng left Yu Xiao’s cave residence and looked back at it.

Although Yu Xiao had gone to a great extent for Shan Shu’s sake, according to the novel, he hadn’t had any romantic feelings for her. Hence, there were two possibilities. One, was that he hid any romantic feelings very well. The second, was that he was raising her as his daughter.

‘Shan Shu only said she wanted to accompany Yu Xiao for a lifetime but she didn’t specify in what capacity. There’s plenty of room for manoeuvring…’

These help determine a person’s personality and you can usually get a pretty good estimate of a person’s personality from their three views. Usually, when the author refers to the three views being destroyed, they mean that these people have deviated severely from the norm.
