Chapter 2: Yin Yang Peak! Insight Eye!
These words caught Chen Xuan off guard.
Had this happened when he first transmigrated to this world and was just a mere mortal, the arrival of a System would have surely excited him.
But since he had reached this point, his first reaction was not excitement, but worry and apprehension.
"Is someone trying to mess with me? But with my cultivation, only a Nascent Soul cultivator can pull me into an illusion."
"However, which Nascent Soul expert would dare come to the Jade Pure Sect and assassinate a Peak Master?"
"Aren’t they afraid of being struck by lightning and perishing?"
Chen Xuan’s divine sense surged. He pushed his cultivation to its utmost and attempted to break out of the "illusion".
Unfortunately, the results were disappointing.
Nothing happened. The words remained there, as if etched onto his pupils.
Perhaps sensing his inner disbelief, the text changed.
Several new lines of text emerged, resembling the panel that one would find in games back on Earth.
...
[Name: Chen Xuan]
[Age: 98]
[Physique: Mortal Body (High-Grade)]
[Cultivation: Core Formation (Early)]
[Technique: Yin Yang Technique (7th level)]
[Disciples: None]
[Reminder: Please accept disciples as soon as possible!]
[To assist in the aforementioned mission, the Host has been rewarded with [Insight Eye].]
[Insight Eye: The user can peer into other people’s information and receive an evaluation regarding their talent.]
...
The moment he digested this information, Chen Xuan felt that he could use a new ability, one he had never possessed before.
He turned his head instinctively and, under Su Ying’s puzzled gaze, cast Insight Eye.
A new panel emerged once again, similar to his own, yet also distinct.
...
[Name: Su Ying]
[Age: 67]
[Physique: Yin Spirit Body (High-Grade)]
[Cultivation: Foundation Establishment (Late)]
[Technique: Yin Yang Technique (6th Level)]
[Talent Rating: 4 Stars]
[Evaluation: The talent of the other party is inadequate! Accepting them as a disciple is heavily discouraged!]
...
Chen Xuan’s eyes grew strange as he went through the text.
Not because of Su Ying’s information.
The other party had followed him for several decades, and Chen Xuan had watched her grow up. He was long familiar with her talent and cultivation.
What made him confused was the final Evaluation given by the System.
Su Ying possessed a Spirit Body and was one of the most talented people not only in the Yin Yang Peak, but also in the entire Jade Pure Sect.
Yet, her talent now seemed to be looked down upon by the System.
"Su Ying’s talent for cultivation is without a doubt."
"Compared to me, who was born with a Mortal Physique and had to spend decades slowly improving my talent, she can be considered the Daughter of Heaven."
"If even her talent is deemed unacceptable, then what disciple does the System wish me to accept?"
Chen Xuan shook his head. He didn’t know if the System had too high standards or his vision was limited.
As far as he knew, there was no one more talented than Su Ying in the entire Yin Yang Peak.
Even in the entire Jade Pure Sect, there were only a few individuals who were more talented.
However, these people also possessed Spirit Bodies at best, being similar in talent to Su Ying.
Unless something unexpected happened, it was likely that these people would also be evaluated as "inadequate" by the System.
Chen Xuan couldn’t help but stroke his chin and fall into thought, forgetting about his environment.
Facing his intense gaze that showed no signs of leaving her any time soon, Su Ying’s cheeks reddened, and she fidgeted where she stood.
"M-Master, do you want to do it now? In here?" she asked shyly.
Yet despite what her words would suggest, her hands reached behind her back and looked ready to remove her last piece of undergarment.
Her question jolted Chen Xuan awake.
He couldn’t help but laugh upon seeing her actions, knowing that she had misunderstood.
However, he didn’t stop her. Suppressing his doubts about the system, he turned around and wrapped his hands around her waist, helping her remove the thin fabric hiding her beauty.
Then, he lowered his head and claimed Su Ying’s lips.
Su Ying didn’t make any move to drive him away. Her arms also reached out and hugged him, as her legs moved and tightened around his body.
Before long, hushed whispers and muffled groans filled the back of the courtyard.
Fortunately, a formation had been arranged around it. Otherwise, the story of the Peak Master and his servant would have spread throughout the Sect.
--
Chen Xuan and Su Ying only emerged from the courtyard a few hours later.
Unlike their appearances just minutes ago, they now both looked clean and tidy, as if the previous "battle" had been an illusion.
"Master, the Disciple Ceremony is scheduled to start later today. Should I inform Elder Yu?"
Their previous conversation suddenly resurfaced in Su Ying’s mind, and she asked once again.
In response, Chen Xuan had a different reaction.
He didn’t nod but rather shook his head.
"No. You don’t have to trouble Elder Yu."
"I will be quite idle for the next few days. Since I have nothing better to do, I will be attending the Disciple Ceremony this year."
Surprise flashed in Su Ying’s eyes. However, she quickly recovered and didn’t ask further questions.
After confirming that she didn’t have to inform Elder Yu, a smile appeared on her face as she leaned closer.
"Master, I can sense that I’m quite close to a breakthrough."
"I wish to retreat for a few days to break through to the Peak of Foundation Establishment."
"Is it possible?" she questioned.
Chen Xuan didn’t expect her to ask this.
However, when he sensed the vibrant Spiritual Energy surging within her, he understood that their previous cultivation session had benefited her greatly.
Hearing that she was planning to go into seclusion, he was not saddened but was rather delighted.
There was no other expert in the Yin Yang Peak besides him and Elder Yu.
If Su Ying succeeded in her breakthrough, she would not only become the third strongest person in the Yin Yang Peak, but would also have great potential to break through even further.
"Don’t worry, you can go into seclusion." Chen Xuan immediately comforted her.
"I was planning to relax either way. I will take care of the Peak while you’re away," he said as he lightly ruffled and messed up her brown hair.
Su Ying’s smile grew even wider, and she almost hopped in place, filled with joy.
After exchanging a few more words, she suppressed her inner reluctance and hurriedly rushed to her residence. She had to break through as soon as possible!
Only then would she be able to help Chen Xuan!
Chen Xuan watched her depart before the formation around her courtyard was activated.
He understood that he would not see her again anytime soon, unless something unexpected happened.
He was used to this.
After thinking for a few seconds and recalling the matter he had previously pushed aside, he didn’t return to his own courtyard, but chose to stroll around the Yin Yang Peak.
His actions seemed without a purpose, surprising the Elders and disciples on the Peak.
Yet, unbeknownst to everyone, their information and talents were laid bare before his eyes.
