Past life sage: This life a dual cultivator-Chapter 201 Parting Is Always Difficult

Elder Cheng hurried over to the pill furnace and picked up the pill that Zhan Chen had concocted. An overly excited look appeared on his face after he observed the pill in his hand.

"Wow! It is a Heart enlightenment pill with pill veins!"

"Young master, you are amazing", elder Cheng looked towards Zhan Chen with excitement in his eyes.

Zhan Chen smiled slightly after seeing the overenthusiastic look of elder Cheng. He could understand his excitement though as he knew the importance of pill veins for a peak fifth stage cultivator like elder Cheng.

A pill with pill veins had a huge qualitative advantage over a normal pill. It improved the efficacy of a pill by many folds and thus provided a huge advantage to a cultivator who was using it.

If before elder Cheng had a thirty percent chance of breakthrough then now the Heart enlightenment pill with pill veins had raised it to ninty percent. Such an advantage was unimaginable if he had taken a normal Heart enlightenment pill.

"Thank you young master", elder Cheng bowed towards Zhan Chen. This time he was thoroughly convinced by the abilities of Zhan Chen.

"I have done my part. Now, tell me whether you are willing to take up my offer?", Zhan Chen looked towards elder Cheng.

"Subordinate is willing", elder Cheng replied. A smile appeared on Zhan Chen's face after he heard the answer of elder Cheng.

Lan Yueyue had already woken from her sleep when Zhan Chen entered his room. She turned to look towards Zhan Chen after he entered inside.

"Have you slept well?", Zhan Chen asked.

"Mmm", Lan Yueyue nodded her head in return.

"Zhan Chen, I have to leave. I can't stay away from the Hundred blossom city any longer", she spoke to Zhan Chen after staying silent for a moment.

Zhan Chen could see that she was reluctant leave but she still had decided against the wish of her heart.

"If possible, come to see me in the Grand sect competition", Zhan Chen spoke. f𝘳ℯℯ𝙬𝒆𝚋𝐧oν𝑒Ɩ.c𝑜𝙢

"I will", Lan Yueyue replied.

Zhan Chen could see her inner turmoil. So, he took her in his embrace to comfort her. Two drops of tear came out of Lan Yueyue's eyes after she leaned on Zhan Chen's shoulder.

Zhan Chen gently wiped away her tear and placed a soft kiss on Lan Yueyue's forehead. "Why are you crying? Have I said that I am going for ever?", Zhan Chen spoke while cupping her face with his hands.

It took a while for him to coax Lan Yueyue. He also felt a little emotional after seeing the sadness in her eyes. "Yueyue, I have already taken care of the expert you have brought along with you. I can guarantee that he will never cause any trouble for you", Zhan Chen spoke.

"You have already taken care of elder Sima?", Lan Yueyue looked towards Zhan Chen with a little amount of surprise in her eyes. But her surprise lasted for only a moment as she regained her calm after seeing the confident look on Zhan Chen's face.

"It is so thoughtful of you. I am having a headache about how to explain our matters to elder Sima", Lan Yueyue spoke.

Zhan Chen bade her farewell after a while and saw her out of the Clear spring inn. He sent a mental command for elder Sima to protect her well and returned to his room after seeing them out.

A contemplative look appeared on his face after he came back to his room. The sad face of Lan Yueyue had left a impression in his heart.

"Feelings are only natural. I can't give up on my path because my goal is already set. Rather I should act more resolutely as it is the only way to protect myself and everyone around me", Zhan Chen thought to himself as a resolute look appeared on his face. 𝗳𝒓𝚎e𝚠𝒆𝐛𝐧𝐨v𝚎Ɩ.co𝓶

"I will take care of each and everyone of them. It doesn't matter how many I will get. I will make sure they remain safe and sound even if I am not present in this land", Zhan Chen thought to himself.

He sat crosslegged and cultivated for a while. He stopped cultivating when the midnight approached the Yellow stone city.

"It is time to fulfill my promise. I have to accept whatever her decision is", Zhan Chen thought to himself. He stepped out of his room and closed the door. He took a look at Li Yan, Li Shu and Kai Min's rooms before leaving towards the stairs.

The environment inside the Golden leaf pavilion was calm and tranquil. Zhou Xiaoling was lying peacefully on her bed but she couldn't sleep for some strange reason despite her several attempts to take a nap.

She was looking very attractive at this moment as the moonlight was falling upon her alluring face.

"Miss, Xiaoling. You are looking very beautiful today", a voice crept into the ears of Zhou Xiaoling when she was looking out of the window with an absent minded look on her face.

"Zhan Chen!", Zhou Xiaoling came out of her reverie after hearing the voice of Zhan Chen. She turned her head and found Zhan Chen standing next to her bed.

"Am I seeing an illusion? Otherwise, how is it possible for you to appear here?", Zhou Xiaoling murmured.

Her room was in the third floor of the Golden leaf pavilion and the third was the most secure location in the Golden leaf pavilion. There were many restrictions for a intruder inside the Golden leaf pavilion. So, Zhou Xiaoling found it unbelievable when she saw Zhan Chen standing next to her.

"How silly! Come here and find for yourself if I am real or not", Zhan Chen smiled at Zhou Xiaoling.

Zhou Xiaoling finally came to reality after hearing the words of Zhan Chen. A smile appeared on her enchanting face as she saw a grinning Zhan Chen standing next to her bed.

"Are you leaving tomorrow?", she asked Zhan Chen.

"Yes, that's why I have come to see you before leaving", Zhan Chen replied.

Zhuo Xiaoling blushed after seeing the heated gaze on Zhan Chen's face. Her heart beat went up as she saw the handsome profile of Zhan Chen. It was the natural charm of Zhan Chen which made him irresistible for anyone of opposite gender.

"Xiaoling, I have already told you that I am interested in you. If possible, I would have like to interact with you for some more time before asking you to be my woman.

But, beleive me. I have no spare time to spend in the Yellow stone city. The Grand sect competition is waiting for me and even after it is over, the relentless pursual of strength will leave me no time to pursue someone slowly".

"That's why here I am baring my desire infront of you. It may seems too sudden, but I need an answer from you. Your agreement will help me immensely in raising my strength. Your disagreement will certainly disappoint me but I will accept whatever your decision is ", Zhan Chen spoke.

Zhou Xiaoling was listening to the words of Zhan Chen silently. Her mind was not on Zhan Chen's words rather she was looking at Zhan Chen's eyes. She could see the strong desire of Zhan Chen for her. Her heart became hooked to Zhan Chen after hearing the words of Zhan Chen.

She didn't give a reply to Zhan Chen but she saw her reply through her eyes. She couldn't deny that she was interested in Zhan Chen. Now after hearing the words of Zhan Chen, a seed of love took root inside her heart.

Both of them looked at eachother for a while. Moon light was supporting their vision as they walked towards eachother simultaneously.
