Chapter 423 - I Can Take You With Me

*Knock* *Knock*

Yuan knocked on Fei Yuyan's door after arriving at her doorsteps.

A few moments later, Fei Yuyan opened the door slightly just enough for Yuan to see one of her eyes through the thin crack.

"Disciple Yuan?"

Once Fei Yuyan noticed who it was, she opened the door wider, and Yuan could see her wearing a towel, looking like she'd just gotten out of the bath, her hair still wet.

If it was anyone else, Fei Yuyan wouldn't have revealed such an enticing sight, but since it was Yuan, she wanted to act a little bold.

"Umm… I can wait until you're prepared." Yuan said.

"I-It's okay. Come inside." Fei Yuyan said with a slightly rosy face.

It was at this moment Fei Yuyan noticed Meixiu following behind him.

"Who is she?" Fei Yuyan asked, as this was their first meeting.

"This is my friend, Meixiu." Yuan gave a quick introduction.

"I-I see…" Fei Yuyan nodded.

'What a beauty… I wonder if they're anything more than just friends…' Fei Yuyan wondered inwardly.

Once they were inside, Yuan sat on the couch whilst Fei Yuyan sat on the opposite side.

Of course, she was still in nothing but her towel, and her bare slender legs were in full view.

Meixiu was speechless. Either female disciples in the cultivation world are usually this bold or this Fei Yuyan is very special.

"Have you been practicing the Divine-grade zither technique?" Yuan asked her once he sat down.

Fei Yuyan nodded, "Yes, I have been practicing it every day since I obtained it."

"Oh, right. I never got to thank you for giving me the technique. Thank you, Disciple Yuan."

"You don't have to thank me. On the other hand, I'm sorry I wasn't able to hand it to you personally. I tried looking for you, but you were in closed cultivation according to Elder Shan."

"Anyways, let's get to the main reason I'm here today. I'm here to say goodbye."

"Eh?" Fei Yuyan's face immediately froze after hearing his words.

At first, she was puzzled, then she was shocked.

"G-Goodbye? Are you going somewhere?" Fei Yuyan asked him in a trembling voice.

Yuan nodded and said, "I am going to leave the Dragon Essence Temple soon."

"What?! That's too sudden!"

Fei Yuyan suddenly stood up from her seat, and because of how fast she stood up, the towel covering her body came loose and dropped onto the ground before she could even react.

"..."

Yuan's eyes widened as he stared at Fei Yuyan's seemingly peerless naked body that was directly in front of his face.

"Ahem!"

Meixiu suddenly lifted her arm and blocked Yuan's view.

"Ahh!"

It was at this moment Fei Yuyan finally realized that she was naked and reacted, and she quickly went to pick up the towel to cover herself again, but it was already too late, as Yuan had seen everything.

"I-I'm sorry! I will be right back!"

Fei Yuyan then rushed to her room to wear her clothes.

A few minutes later, Fei Yuyan returned to the living room, but her face was still as red as a tomato.

"Are you okay?" Yuan asked her in a perfectly calm manner.

"Y-Yeah… I'm sorry you had to see such a sight…" Fei Yuyan responded in a mosquito-like voice.

"A-Anyways, you're going to leave the sect soon, right? Can I ask why?" She quickly changed the subject.

Yuan nodded and said, "I don't really have a particular reason. It's just that I think I have enough experience."

"Experience?"

"Yes. I joined the Dragon Essence Temple for experience since I wanted to know what it was like to be a disciple. I never intended to stay very long, either."

"Can I ask what you're going to do afterward?"

"I am going to explore the Lower Heavens some more with my friends before I ascend through the Stairway to Heaven."

"Stairway to Heaven… You're really different from the rest of us. I cannot even imagine challenging it, yet you're already going to challenge it soon." Fei Yuyan sighed.

She then looked up at the ceiling and sighed, "Spirit Heaven, huh? To be completely honest, I also want to ascend, but with my talents, I know it's not going to happen."

"If you want, I can take you with me." Yuan suddenly suggested.

"What?" Fei Yuyan looked at him with wide eyes.

"I will be bringing Disciple Min with me when I challenge the Stairway to Heaven, and it won't make much of a difference if I take you with me as well… I think…" Yuan said.

"I… I don't know what to say, really…" Fei Yuyan mumbled in a dazed voice.

"You don't have to make a decision now. I will ask you again when I return to pick up Disciple Min." Yuan said.

"Okay…" Fei Yuyan nodded with a serious look on her face.

Sometime later, after speaking some more with Fei Yuyan, Yuan left her place and headed to Xuan Wuhan's living quarters.

"He… He saw me naked… What a blunder!" Fei Yuyan laid on the couch in a dazed manner for many minutes even after Yuan left her place.

After leaving Fei Yuyan's place, Yuan realized that he's never been to Xuan Wuhan's living quarters.

Thus, he contacted Elder Xuan to ask for directions.

"Thank you, Senior Xuan."

Once he knew where to go, Yuan went directly to Xuan Wuhan's living quarters.

However, on his way to Xuan Wuhan's place, Yuan stopped his tracks when an unfamiliar face suddenly walked in front of him and blocked his path.

"You're Disciple Yuan, right?" This handsome young man asked him.

"Yes, but who are you?" Yuan asked.

"Name's Gu Tan from one of the Seven Legacy Families— the Gu Family, and I am here to recruit you to the Gu Family." This young man introduced himself.

And because of his impression of the Min Family, Yuan immediately frowned after hearing that he was from one of the Seven Legacy Families.

"Sorry, but I am going to have to refuse." Yuan immediately rejected the Gu Family's invitation, leaving Gu Tan speechless.
