Xie Ruyue said calmly, then looked at Lin Feng and smiled, "Why are you asking me that, are you curious or trying to woo me?"
Lin Feng smiled back, "If I said I am trying to woo you to become my partner, will you agree?"
Xie Ruyue’s smile widened, "No, as I said, I don’t want a partner just because he has good looks. No doubt you are the most handsome boy I have ever seen, but it won’t work on me."
Lin Feng nodded, he could feel it, after the initial small desire which she had for him, she never showed any again. He had to say her will is strong. Cultivators with strong will always reach unimaginable heights.
"I admire you, senior sister Xie, don’t worry, I wasn’t asking you these questions because I was trying to court you, I have some doubts. Given your beauty and talent, or rather I will say worth as a proper word.
How is it our sect hasn’t forced you to dual cultivate with someone?"
Lin Feng wouldn’t mind her as a partner, no one in this sect will be as fine as her, no doubt, but he was more curious about this aspect.
Huo Meiling was surprised why Lin Hao would say that, it’s not like their sect will force others to partner, right.
Xie Ruyue stopped walking, and this time her playful expression was gone, she was stunned before she squinted her eyes a little and looked towards Lin Feng seriously.
"I doubt elder Yan would have told you about me that much, junior brother Lin, so how did you see through me?" Xie Ruyue wouldn’t have thought much about it if Lin Feng had mentioned only talent, but him talking about her worth was basically saying that he knew about her special constitution and cultivation level.
Lin Feng shook his head, "That’s not an answer to my question, senior sister, and right now I can feel that you are getting angry, so let’s leave it," after saying that, Lin Feng began to walk.
"Stop right there," Xie Ruyue spoke with a slightly heightened tone, but Lin didn’t stop.
"Fine, I will tell you, now stop," Xie Ruyue sighed.
Lin Feng finally stopped and made his way back, "It wasn’t hard, was it?"
Xie Ruyue just shook her head, "Yes, they tried to force me to dual cultivate by coercing me first, but since I didn’t listen, they told me that my opinion didn’t matter, and they will assign a partner for me forcefully."
Huo Meiling trembled, while Lin Feng thought it was normal, "Then what?" Since she still has her purity, then she had found some way.
Xie Ruyue smirked a little, "I took a heavenly oath that if I dual cultivated with someone whom I don’t like, consciously or unconsciously, then my soul should perish."
Lin Feng was genuinely surprised, this was really a fine way to protect yourself, no doubt.
Losing a disciple of her potential is not something any sect would want to do, and with this heavenly oath, they were forced to stop any kind of plan they had made for her.
Taking a heavenly oath has its own risks, so not many take an oath casually.
"Now tell me how you saw through me?" Xie Ruyue was dying to know.
Lin Feng decided to tell her the truth, he liked her personality, "Senior sister, first of all, I have a special constitution too."
Xie Ruyue’s eyes widened a little, she was genuinely surprised now.
Huo Meiling became surprised too, she didn’t know that the vibration of that stone meant a special constitution. There was one more thing, since Lin Hao mentioned it like that, it means senior sister has a special constitution too.
"Now, the reason I was able to see through you, senior sister, is a special technique I found by luck, it allows me to see through yin and yang levels or cultivation realms of others," Lin Feng didn’t go into too much detail, it will be enough.
Xie Ruyue was shocked, a skill of that level isn’t ordinary, "You are lucky, junior brother, that’s a rare technique."
Lin Feng nodded with a small smile.
Huo Meiling felt a little left out, her personality wasn’t quite that type, she just recently became one due to Lin Hao’s presence, she gathered up her courage, "Um... senior sister, what is your cultivation realm?"
Xie Ruyue smiled, "Finally you speak, I thought you don’t like talking, I am at the peak stage of Spirit Origin realm."
Huo Meiling’s eyes widened, it was too high, her grandfather is in the Void Tribulation realm, and senior sister was already on the brink of reaching there.
"You are wrong, senior sister Xie, sister Huo is a very cheerful person, she is just feeling sad because of junior brother Fu Zhen not becoming an inner sect disciple," Lin Feng stated, although he knew that the main reason was his advances.
"Ah... yes, you must love your fiancé. You see, this is other reason why I don’t want to have a partner... although I hate too much promiscuousness of this sect, I still somewhat agree with not having deep emotional bonds.
But I know love is something which will happen for women like me, so that’s why I am waiting for someone worthy who can walk side by side with me, because in the end, you have to choose to leave them if they are burden, and I don’t want to make that choice in the future."
Huo Meiling again trembled, she could never leave Fu Zhen in the truest sense, he was not only her fiancé but they were childhood lovers too... the thought of leaving him completely is heartbreaking.
Xie Ruyue could feel her emotion, so she didn’t speak further, they had already climbed down to see more disciples.
Lin Feng ignored their gazes, for now, he didn’t have the intention to make new friends, he could get all the information he needed from Xie Ruyue, there was one thing though, none of them tried to approach them... even though he could hear their curious murmurs.
It seems they were afraid of Xie Ruyue, did she beat them or something? Maybe there is some way to challenge others to duel. Elder Yan had mentioned about the sect arena...
