Chapter 591: If I Tell You I Want You
1 Dragon Villa.
This was the residence with the best environment to cultivate in among all the disciple residences, including the personal disciple residences. Those staying here enjoyed the highest glory a disciple could be accorded. In the past, a disciple could only be assigned this residence after going through a rigorous series of tests.
Of course, Xiang Shaoyun had also gone through a year of trial. But with his cultivation level, he really wasn't qualified to stay at the villa. Because of that, Xiao Wei had released news that anyone on the Serpent Fowl List capable of defeating Xiang Shaoyun would become the new owner of 1 Dragon Villa.
In a way, this was a test for Xiang Shaoyun. If he couldn't pass, then he really wasn't meant to stay there. Naturally, even if he managed to survive the challenges, more tests would come. The tests would only stop when he was undeniably worthy of 1 Dragon Villa.
After the duel, Xiang Shaoyun, Lady Shura, and the Han Clan sisters all returned to 1 Dragon Villa. As for Tang Longfei and Ning Wenhuang, they returned to their own residences and resumed cultivating.
In the villa, Han Qianwei questioned Xiang Shaoyun, "Why did you do that? Don't you trust us?"
Han Xuewei remained silent, but her eyes were filled with the look of someone who had been wronged. They couldn't understand why Xiang Shaoyun would ask them to join Han Chenfei.
After a slight hesitation, Xiang Shaoyun sighed and said, "There is something that I don't really want to tell you this early, but since Han Chenfei has already said it, I think both of you should be able to sense the issue of your bodies as well. That was why I wanted the two of you to join her. It will be to your benefit."
The sisters sank into deep thought. They were no fools. In the past, they had only been ignorant due to a lack of information. With Xiang Shaoyun telling them so blatantly what was wrong, they would be completely stupid if they didn't realize the truth.
"C-can it be that there really is an issue with our bodies?" Han Xuewei asked anxiously.
Xiang Shaoyun nodded. "Yes. Do you remember that I had someone check your physiques before coming to the academy? I was planning to search for a solution here at the academy, but something else happened to me during the past year, so I haven't been able to start my search. Now, Han Chenfei has figured out what is wrong with your physiques the moment she approaches you. I believe she has a Yin Frost Physique as well. Perhaps she will be able to help cure both of you!"
At this point, Xiang Shaoyun no longer wanted to hide anything from them. In any case, he already considered the Han Clan sisters his friends. He wouldn't watch them die without doing anything to help. Unfortunately, it wouldn't be easy to get Han Chenfei's help.
The sisters now knew that they had misunderstood Xiang Shaoyun, and guilt covered their faces. At the same time, a curtain of anxiousness covered their faces as well. It was understandable that they would be worried. After all, their lives were on the line. But at the same time, they had already expressed that they would not leave Xiang Shaoyun. That was a matter of principle.
Xiang Shaoyun then promised them that he would try his best to help them solve this issue. Finally, after sending the sisters away, he spent some time alone in thought. He then left the villa and headed toward Han Chenfei's villa.
Han Chenfei was a personal disciple of a certain elder who was either a previous generation elder or a grand guardian. She was one of the top 10 disciples on the Dragon Phoenix List, and the villa she resided in was also one of the top 10 disciple residences.
Thus, Xiang Shaoyun was able to easily locate her villa. Her villa's name was 2 Phoenix Villa. Just from that name alone, her status among the disciples was apparent. When Xiang Shaoyun arrived, someone blocked his way.
"Please pass on the message that Xiang Shaoyun is here to visit," Xiang Shaoyun told the person guarding the entrance.
The person hesitated slightly before deciding to go inside and pass on the message. Soon, the person returned and made an inviting gesture, allowing Xiang Shaoyun to enter. After entering, Xiang Shaoyun found that the villa looked even more elegant than his. It was indeed a suitable residence for a woman. He saw Han Chenfei standing alone under a tree of blooming flowers. She was the brightest of the flowers; all others dimmed in her presence.
"Greetings, Palace Master Han," greeted Xiang Shaoyun politely.
"You are too polite, Young Master Xiang. Just call me Chenfei, or if you don't mind, you can call me Big Sister Han too," said Han Chenfei with an enchanting smile.
In fact, she wasn't that much older than Xiang Shaoyun. At most, she was about two or three years older, but she still looked like she was 17 or 18. At that age, she was able to enter the top 10 of the Dragon Phoenix List. It was clear how terrifying her strength was.
Xiang Shaoyun smiled and did not answer. Instead, he went straight to the point. "I believe you are aware of the reason I'm here. I wonder what would you need in order to help them?"
"Looks like they are quite important for you, then?" Han Chenfei asked instead of answering.
"They are my friends!" Xiang Shaoyun declared firmly.
"Just friends?" Han Chenfei pressed on.
Xiang Shaoyun shrugged. "Yes. If you really want a precise answer, they are my followers. I don't want to see them die young, not when they have a chance to live a longer, better life. What would you need to help them?"
When Han Chenfei saw how seriously Xiang Shaoyun was speaking, she did not continue her line of questioning. Instead, she sat down before a stone table and gestured at Xiang Shaoyun to take a seat as well.
Xiang Shaoyun did not refuse the invitation. He walked over and sat down opposite Han Chenfei. There, he found Han Chenfei staring at him with her icy eyes, a faint smile on her alluring face. Any other man put in his position would probably think that he had managed to catch Han Chenfei's heart. That was not the case for Xiang Shaoyun. He met her gaze nonchalantly, not showing any sort of emotion.
After staring at him for a bit, Han Chenfei flashed him a charming smile and asked, "What if I tell you I want you?". Her choice of words was rather thought provoking.
"Me? I don't understand," Xiang Shaoyun said.
"Everyone knows you have a high-grade nine-star physique. One can say that you have the strongest physique a human can possibly have. Even my physique is inferior to yours. For the Glacier Palace, if you join us, it will be akin to adding a pair of wings to a tiger. Of course, the premise for that is for you to focus on cultivating only one power from now on," said Han Chenfei.
Xiang Shaoyun smiled helplessly. "If I am willing to do that, do you think I would have been banished to the Back Graveyard as punishment?"
He was indirectly admitting that the banishment to the Back Graveyard was a punishment due to his choice of cultivation.
"Can't that be changed at all?" Han Chenfei asked with a frown.
"No. You should think of a different term," said Xiang Shaoyun solemnly.
