Dual Cultivation

Chapter 1100  Commotion Outside Lin Xinyi’s Residence

News of Su Yang and Lin Xinyi's official partnership continued to spread throughout the sect even long after they left the Pavilion of Declaration.

When the disciples who had attempted to court Lin Xinyi but failed heard the news, they were understandably upset. Some, especially the Inner Court and Core Disciples, took the news harder than others.

"I lost to some fucking Outer Court disciple who lives in the Outcast Peak?! Impossible!" An Inner Court disciple punched a hole in their wall after learning of this news.

"She dares to choose an Outer Court disciple over me, a Core Disciple?! Where is that logic in that?! From what I heard, that Xiao Yang has an ordinary appearance, too!"

Meanwhile, somewhere in the Outer Court.

"Sister Fei, did you hear? That Lin Xinyi actually accepted a partner before you did!"

"Oh, really? Good for her." Disciple Fei mumbled in a disinterested voice.

"You know, I actually made a bet with Sister Mu—a bet to see who will acquire a partner first—you or Lin Xinyi. I bet you'd find a partner first." Her roommate said.

"Why'd you bet on me?" she asked.

"You seem more serious about finding a partner, and you're much more popular than her."

"Serious about finding a partner, huh?" Disciple Fei muttered with a seemingly distant gaze.

"By the way, you'll never believe who she chose as her partner. Do you know that disciple who recently joined the sect and started a huge commotion in the Outer Court?" her roommate continued.

"That's right! It's Disciple Xiao! That massager at the Outcast Peak!"

Disciple Fei's eyebrows twitched after being reminded of him.

"It's him?"

Disciple Fei wore a surprised expression on her beautiful face.

"Oh? What's this? You're actually interested?" her roommate showed a teasing smile, as Disciple Fei rarely showed interest in anything.

"Don't tell me you're also interested in Disciple Xiao?"

"No… that's not it." Disciple Fei shook her head.

"To be honest, I am kind of envious of Lin Xinyi. I have experienced Disciple Xiao's massage, and it was godly. He definitely knows how to pleasure a woman, and I can only imagine how good it'll feel to cultivate with him."

Disciple Fei looked at her roommate with a dumbfounded face.

"Are you looking down on me? You'd understand me if you'd experienced his massage, too."

"That will never happen." Disciple Fei sneered.

"Anyway, I am going to cultivate." n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om

Disciple Fei returned to her room the next moment.

"Disciple Xiao…" she mumbled with a pondering face after closing the door.

A few days later, talks about Su Yang and Lin Xinyi slowed, as every disciple in the Outer Court had heard of it by now.

During these few days, numerous male disciples visited Lin Xinyi's residence, each attempting to persuade her to reconsider her partnership with Su Yang.

"Fairy Lin! Please reconsider! You'll definitely be happier with me!"

"Nothing good will come out of partnering with that troublemaker!"

Eventually, the door opened, but it was not Lin Xinyi who came out.

"Can you all just leave already?! It's obvious that Disciple Lin doesn't want to listen to any of you!" Her roommate, Disciple Ru, shouted at the crowd outside their home.

"We're only here to talk to Fairy Lin, so stop sticking your nose into our business!"

"That's right! If you want us to leave, let us speak with Fairy Lin!"

Lin Xinyi's roommate sneered and spoke as she glared at them with disdain, "What a bunch of sore losers! You were unable to court Disciple Lin before, so what makes you think you'll change her mind now? Get lost before I call for an Elder!"

"What did you say, you bitch?!"

"Who the hell are you, anyway?!"

Suddenly, a figure approached them. This individual was a tall and handsome man, and every step he took exuded immense grace.

"It's a Core Disciple!" The disciples there exclaimed after recognizing his disciple outfit.

"That's Senior apprentice-brother Yun Xiao Hong! He was also trying to court Fairy Lin but failed!"

"What brings you here, Senior Apprentice-brother Yun?" Lin Xinyi's roommate greeted him with a respectful bow.

"I came here to ask Junior Sister Lin a question. Can you let her know that I am here?" Yun Xiao Hong responded with a calm smile on his face.

"Okay… I'll let her know." Her roommate nodded, reluctantly agreeing to his request. Due to the difference in their disciple status, she had no choice but to treat him respectfully and listen to his request as long as it wasn't unreasonable.

"Sister Lin, Core Disciple Yun Xiao Hong is here to see you… I can deal with the Outer Court disciples, but he's different. I'm sorry, but I cannot afford to offend a Core Disciple." Lin Xinyi came out of her room with an apologetic smile and said, "Thank you for everything, Sister Qin. I'll speak with the Core Disciple."

Although she could easily ignore the Outer Court disciples crying outside her home, a Core Disciple was an entirely different matter.

A few moments later, Lin Xinyi went outside to confront Yun Xiao Hong.

"This Junior greets Senior Apprentice-brother Yun. How can I assist you today?"

"Disciple Lin, when you refused to be my cultivation partner, I thought it was because I was lacking, so I wasn't too upset and accepted the results. However, you accepted an Outer Court disciple who lives in the Outcast Peak as your partner, and I cannot fathom why. I doubt there's anything an Outer Court disciple has that I, a Core Disciple, lack," Yun Xiao Hong stated confidently.

"So, can you answer this question for me? Why did you choose that Outer Court disciple over me, who is clearly superior in every way?"

"..."

The entire place fell silent, and everyone there turned to look at Lin Xinyi, who had a perplexed expression on her face.

There was simply no way for her to answer that question without offending the Core Disciple.

"I will not leave until I receive an answer, Disciple Lin," Yun Xiao Hong pressured.

Lin Xinyi clenched her fists, and just as her lips parted, a clear voice resounded, "I can answer that question for you."

"Who the—?"

Everyone turned their heads to see an ordinary-looking young man approaching them with confident strides.

Their eyes widened with shock after realizing his identity.

"Xiao Yang?" Lin Xinyi muttered his name with a dazed face.
