Chapter 429: Chapter 429: Exchange of Interests
"Sister, I don’t blame you. I blame myself for taking the wrong path and joining the Ten Thousand Poisons Sect!"
Cheng Ruonan couldn’t help but sob. Her biggest regret was joining the Ten Thousand Poisons Sect and making many mistakes. Now that she had defected from the sect, the Sect Leader would definitely hunt her down, and she might even implicate Cheng Qiyue.
"How did you become an assassin?"
Cheng Qiyue asked, frowning.
Cheng Ruonan took a deep breath and said, "Back then, I thought you had been captured. If I stayed, I would surely escape with my life, so I took the chance to run. I was saved by a man, the Sect Leader of the Ten Thousand Poisons Sect."
"He said that by joining the Ten Thousand Poisons Sect, I could cultivate the most advanced cultivation technique and become powerful. At the time, I understood nothing and only wanted to avenge our parents and you, so I stayed with the sect."
"Until a few days ago, I received a mission to assassinate Ye Ling’er, where I met Yang Cheng and found out he has the Pure Yang Dragon Physique, and then we..."
Cheng Ruonan’s cheeks flushed with embarrassment. Although she didn’t continue, Cheng Qiyue understood clearly, as she too had always had an eye on Yang Cheng’s Pure Yang Dragon Physique.
"So that’s how it was. Have you now left the Ten Thousand Poisons Sect?"
Cheng Qiyue asked.
"I’m considered to have betrayed the Ten Thousand Poisons Sect, and Yang Cheng also killed one of their assassins. The Sect Leader will definitely not let us go. He might have already sent another batch of assassins, and they could be on their way now."
Cheng Ruonan felt very uneasy.
Yang Cheng, listening to the two sisters talk, now knew their family background.
Earlier, he wondered why two women named Cheng were so interested in his Pure Yang Dragon Physique, as if they wanted to devour him.
Back then, he didn’t think much of it and didn’t expect that these two were really sisters.
"No problem, don’t worry. I will do everything in my power to protect you."
With a serious look, Cheng Qiyue said.
Cheng Ruonan was incredibly moved. Despite not seeing her for fifteen years, her sister still protected her like before.
"Her current strength is at the Qi Refining Sixth Stage. Who’s protecting whom here!"
Yang Cheng, sensing the gloomy atmosphere, teased the two sisters with a remark.
"What? You’ve reached the Qi Refining Sixth Stage?"
Cheng Qiyue was astonished, gripping Cheng Ruonan’s hand more tightly.
Though she was not yet a cultivator, she was quite familiar with the levels of the Qi Refining Realm. She hadn’t expected Cheng Ruonan to have reached such a height.
"I cultivate a Dual Cultivation Technique, mainly absorbing spiritual energy from men, which makes my progress quite fast. It was dual cultivation with Yang Cheng this time that allowed me to break through so quickly to the sixth layer."
When Cheng Ruonan mentioned this, her beautiful eyes sparkled, exuding an enchanting charm.
"Dual cultivation?"
Cheng Qiyue frowned slightly, momentarily reflecting on Cheng Ruonan’s situation within the Ten Thousand Poisons Sect, and felt a deep, stifling heartache.
"Sister, don’t misunderstand. I gave my first time to Yang Cheng. Although I practiced dual cultivation techniques before, I only absorbed spiritual energy from my disciples without losing my virginity."
Cheng Ruonan, noticing her sister’s distress, quickly explained.
She was relieved she hadn’t let those dirty men of the Ten Thousand Poisons Sect touch her; otherwise, she would have been even more regretful.
"That’s good then."
Cheng Qiyue breathed a sigh of relief, beaming at her sister.
"Yang Cheng, you go take a seat up front. My sister and I still have a lot to talk about!"
Cheng Ruonan reached over and gave Yang Cheng a little push.
"Earlier, you were screaming and kicking, refusing to get in the car or talk to Cheng Qiyue. Now that you two have reconciled, you’re kicking me out, aren’t you?"
Yang Cheng grumbled discontentedly.
"I was just confused for a moment. Haven’t you ever lost your senses?"
Recalling her earlier actions, Cheng Ruonan was full of embarrassment.
How could she have the right to blame her sister?
Back then, when she sprained her ankle, if it wasn’t for her sister drawing people away by herself, she would have been dead long ago.
Fortunately, her sister had good luck, fainting only shortly before encountering a good Samaritan who saved her. Thinking about that scenario, she felt frightened.
At this point, Cheng Qiyue had already moved to the back seat, and the two sisters leaned against each other, just as close as they were fifteen years ago.
"Sister, let’s never separate again, okay?"
Cheng Ruonan asked softly.
"Alright!"
Cheng Qiyue agreed without hesitation, reaching out to tidy the stray hairs near Cheng Ruonan’s temples.
She suddenly remembered something and asked, "Earlier, Yang Cheng said you did that in the car to heal. Is it true?"
As she brought it up, a blush immediately spread across Cheng Ruonan’s pretty face. She shyly responded, "Before you came, I was injured by people from the Ten Thousand Poisons Sect, damaging my dantian. Yang Cheng has a Pure Yang Body, and his essence has healing properties that could help restore my dantian."
"I really misunderstood Yang Cheng then."
Cheng Qiyue dryly chuckled.
Yang Cheng, looking exasperated, wondered if he really looked like a lecher.
"It’s dark now, and there’s no lodging in this service area. We’ll just make do in the car tonight and head for Zhonghai tomorrow to lay low for a few days. We’ll head back to Peach Blossom County after that."
He parked the car in the corner of the parking lot and turned off the engine.
"Will staying away for a few days really make the people from the Ten Thousand Poisons Sect stop coming?"
Cheng Qiyue asked curiously.
"Of course not. But right now, I can’t let Miss Ye get hurt."
Now that the Cheng sisters had reunited and he had just saved Cheng Ruonan, she was already reliable enough. So he shared the matter of the elixir embryo inside Ye Ling’er with them.
"Now you two must help me protect Ye Ling’er. Once it’s done, I can also assist you in seeking revenge."
Yang Cheng felt that with an exchange of interests, the Cheng sisters would be more reliable.
"Would you really help us?"
Cheng Qiyue’s eyes lit up instantly. She had not expected Yang Cheng to offer help, only hoping he would share a night with her to help her become a cultivator.
"I stand by my words. But before that, you must stay by my side and help me deal with those pests from the Ten Thousand Poisons Sect."
Having killed someone from the Ten Thousand Poisons Sect, Yang Cheng knew the Sect Leader wouldn’t just let it go. Having two more helpers would make things easier.
"No problem, we’re willing to help you. But our enemy likely has an unusual identity. I’ve found no clues all these years."
Cheng Ruonan expressed, furrowing her brows.
"The Sect Leader seems to know something, but he has refused to tell me. Until this time when I came to Peach Blossom County, he said that once I completed the task and returned, he’d give me a surprise. Maybe he was planning to reveal the enemy’s identity."
"Don’t worry about it. As long as they’ve done it, there’s bound to be traces. How difficult could they be compared to the Ten Thousand Poisons Sect?"
Yang Cheng raised an eyebrow, showing little concern.
"So it’s settled then. We sisters will do our best to help you!"
Cheng Qiyue felt a surge of excitement, having found no leads for fifteen years. However, she believed that Yang Cheng would become the breakthrough in their situation.
