As the Xun Shuren was about to leave him to settle in, she paused and said, “Remember, if you need guidance or help, you can come to me or any of the inner disciples. As long as they aren’t the eccentric type they will help you out.”
Shen Yuan nodded appreciatively and said with a slight smile, “I will. Thank you, Elder Shuren.”
Xun Shuren also smiled softly, “Now, I feel like I have finally done something an elder should have done. You can come look for me if you have any problems or need help.”
Shen Yuan smiled and nodded, “I will definitely bother you if I have something I need help with,” he glanced at Han Qingyu, “For now, can you show Qingyu around the inner sect and settle her as well? I doubt an outer sect disciple like me can visit the inner sect at will.”
Xun Shuren replied, “You can visit the inner sect if an inner sect disciple has invited you or if you are a follower of an inner sect disciple. Hehe~ you can decide for yourself whatever you want to do.”
She paused as she looked at Han Qingyu, “As for Qingyu, I will show her around the sect, you can leave her to me.”
“Good, then for now I will catch up with Sister Huo while you show her around the sect.” He turned towards Han Qingyu. “You can take a few days to settle down and take some rest, after I’m done here, we will explore the sect.”
“I understand, Brother Yuan. I will take my leave for now.” She nodded politely towards Huo Rong before taking her leave together with Xun Shuren.
After Han Qingyu and Xun Shuren left, the courtyard got noticeably quieter. Shen Yuan turned towards Huo Rong, who was looking at him with an amused look on her face get her eyes were filled with fondness.
“So, Yuan’er,” Huo Rong began teasingly, “Now that you have joined the sect and settled here, how do you feel about becoming the only male disciple of one of the strongest all female sects?”
Shen Yuan smiled and walked closer to her, “It feels…great. It feels as if I’m surrounded by flowers. The view, atmosphere are all good. Especially the sweet and intoxicating fragrance all around.”
Huo Rong felt her face turning a bit red as she scolded him under her breath “You pervert!”
She hurriedly looked outside, seeing that no one was around she closed the door and came in front of Shen Yuan.
Huo Rong stood in front of him and said with a smirk. “You really are bold, if any of the inner disciples heard what you said and they spread it around, those beautiful flowers will show you their thorns.”
Shen Yuan chuckled and wrapped his hand around her waist, pulling her closer towards him, he felt her soft breast pressing on his chest, he whispered in her ears softly, “Will this flower also show me her thorns?”
Huo Rong smiled sweetly and hugged him back, resting her head on his chest, “I missed you.” She gently spoke while burying her head in his chest.
Shen Yuan smiled gently and patted the back of her head, “I missed you as well. How was your seclusion? Did you successfully change your cultivation technique?” freewёbn૦νeɭ.com
Huo Rong nodded her head, “Yes, this new cultivation technique is so much better and stronger than my previous cultivation technique. And together with the pill’s effect, my cultivation base has been strengthened to an unimaginable level. I feel like I can beat up my past self with a single hand.”
Shen Yuan chuckled looking at her acting all excited, “Alright, alright, calm down. You can test your strength when Sister Bing comes out of seclusion. Let’s explore the courtyard for now.”
Huo Rong nodded and led the way for him.
‘Hey, Yue Lan, how many hits can I take from Sister Huo with my current cultivation base?’
Yue Lan’s mocking voice echoed in his mind,
[It would be a miracle if you can withstood a single hit from her previous self, much less now with her enhanced strength.]
Shen Yuan felt his lips twitching at Yue Lan’s mocking voice, but she also spoke the truth as he had overestimated himself far too much to be compared with someone on Huo Rong’s cultivation base.
As they walked through the courtyard, Shen Yuan could feel the atmosphere changing due to Huo Rong’s excitement. He gently grabbed her hand, “What made you so excited?”
“Hehe~ I’m finally alone with you after such a long time, so I’m just happy.” She said as she turned her head and Shen Yuan saw a bright smile on her face. Her smile was truly infectious as even Shen Yuan started smiling to himself.
“Look,” she pointed towards a corner where stones were placed with wooden weapons, “You can practice martial arts there. They gave us a variety of choices to look through which ones are the best for us.”
Shen Yuan nodded as they continued exploring the courtyard, she pointed towards a cherry tree with a mat placed below it, “You can meditate there after you finish training.”
Shen Yuan smiled as he looked at the peaceful spot under the cherry tree. “It looks perfect, peaceful and serene. I would definitely enjoy sitting there peacefully.”
Huo Rong squeezed his hand lightly, feeling the warmth of her hand, her smile still bright and radiant, “I knew you would like it! This courtyard will be your home for at least some time, you will soon join the inner sect though so we have some time to enjoy ourselves here before that.”
Shen Yuan chuckled softly, “Haha, you don’t need to flatter me. Even if I soon join the inner sect, that doesn’t mean I can’t take my courtyard with me. Just wait until I become a core disciple, and I will place our mansion inside the core peak of the sect.”
Huo Rong’s smile turned a bit nostalgic, “Master used to stay in the mansion on the Radiant Heart Peak before she met up with you. We cultivated inside her mansion all the time, learning new things as well as getting lectured. But anyways, it will definitely be quite a shock for everyone to see her mansion again, but in the hands of a male disciple, hehe~”
At the end she couldn’t stop herself from giggling slightly, making Shen Yuan shake his head and lightly spank her butt, “Ahh~” making Huo Rong moan softly.
“Don’t start thinking of pranking others so soon. Let them digest the fact that a male cultivator has joined the sect first before giving them an even bigger shock.”
Huo Rong lightly rubbed her ass while nodding her head with a smile, “Hehe~ don’t mind me.”
Shen Yuan smiled lightly and shook his head at her behavior. He decided to continue exploring the courtyard for a little more time since it was already evening and the sun had already gone down.
As Shen Yuan had explored most of the courtyard, he decided to head inside and look for his room. “Let’s see how my room is for now.”
Huo Rong giggled softly, “Hehe~ by that, do you mean Our room?”
“Yes, our room.” Shen Yuan agreed with a smile.
“Good, let’s head into your room to see how good it is.” She said as she dragged him along with her towards their room.
Shen Yuan smiled and followed along while saying, “Now, don’t be too disappointed if you don’t find anything good inside.”
“Shouldn’t I be the one sharing that?” Huo Rong asked back with a grin on her face.
“The room is for both of us, no? So you would also be disappointed if there is nothing good inside of it.” He countered her with a smile.
…
As their banter continued, they soon stepped foot in front of his room. It was a plain wooden door with simple lotus drawings on it.
“Looks like we can’t expect much from the room.” Shen Yuan said with a light chuckle.
“Hehe~ let’s enter the room first.” She said as she pushed open the door, revealing a simple and modest room.
The walls were bare with minimum furnishings inside, only a bed and a table was placed inside the room.
“Well…this is worse than I expected.” Shen Yuan said with a light shake of his head.
“The sect don’t decorate the rooms because in the past, the disciples used to scrap all the decorations and instead use what they buy themselves, so the sect stopped doing it at all.” Huo Rong explained with a mischievous grin on her face.”
“Wait, you already knew about it and still didn’t tell me?” Shen Yuan turned towards her and asked with an amused grin.
Huo Rong felt something amiss with his grin but she still confidently replied, “Of course I knew it. I am a inner sect elder here you know. I know at least these things about my sect.”
Shen Yuan struck her ass again with a bit more force, making her yelp in surprise, “Ahn~”
