Chapter 244: Dual Cultivation
“What do you mean by satisfied?”
As soon as Han Li heard this, he suddenly felt uneasy. Then, hearing Li Huayuan repeatedly praise him only deepened his sense of foreboding!
Moreover, he had already noticed that since he entered the room, the young girl had been sneaking glances at him several times, her expression full of displeasure. And when Senior Uncle Hongfu said he was very good, her body shuddered slightly, and she hurriedly lowered her head.
At the same time, a gaze full of hostility swept over Han Li, startling him so much that he looked back—and it was none other than his Seventh Senior Brother, Wu Xuan, whom he had just brought in.
Seeing Han Li notice his stare, Wu Xuan’s face showed a flicker of surprise before quickly turning his gaze away, looking guilty.
Han Li was even more puzzled, but he still habitually maintained a calm and composed demeanor. This unintentional display of steadiness made the Red-Clothed Woman silently nod in approval.
“This is the one. I think he’s very suitable. I’ll take Xuan’er back now and wait quietly for your good news!” The Red-Clothed Woman nodded and suddenly spoke.
“Senior Sister, don’t worry. I will make proper arrangements later,” Li Huayuan hurriedly promised as he stood to see the woman off. Meanwhile, the Senior Uncle Hongfu led the girl away while Han Li was still confused.
When Li Huayuan and his wife returned with Han Li and the others to the main hall, their faces beamed with joy. Even the silent young woman beside them smiled without speaking.
Once they sat down again, the couple kept scrutinizing Han Li, making him feel uneasy. He couldn’t tell what their intentions were.
“Han Li, I must congratulate you first!” After looking at Han Li happily for a while, Li Huayuan suddenly blurted out this unexpected remark. Han Li’s heart skipped a beat, increasing his unease.
“Disciple really doesn’t know what to be happy about. I hope Master will enlighten me!” Han Li controlled his ominous feelings and spoke respectfully.
“Hehe! This is a great matter! Your Senior Uncle Hongfu has taken a liking to you and wants you to form a good match with her disciple, becoming a pair of dual cultivation partners!” Before Li Huayuan could answer, the young woman revealed the secret, leaving Han Li stunned.
“Dual cultivation partners?” Han Li muttered, lost in thought. This was so unexpected!
“How about it? This is something others would only dream of! You must understand, the female disciples in the mountains are already few, and those who successfully establish their foundation are even fewer. Dual cultivation is an excellent way to greatly enhance cultivation for both men and women. Others would search everywhere with a lantern and not find such a good opportunity!” Li Huayuan said cheerfully.
For him, establishing a connection with the profoundly magical Senior Sister Hongfu was a huge advantage. Everyone knew that Immortal Lady Hongfu was one of the top core formation stage cultivators in the entire immortal cultivation world of Yue Country! In Yellow Maple Valley, she was second only to the Ancestor in magical power.
Thinking of the benefits of becoming fellow disciples through marriage, even the usually stern and formal Li Huayuan couldn’t help but smile.
“But disciple has never thought about dual cultivation before. It’s a bit sudden. Besides, with so many male cultivators in Yellow Maple Valley who are better looking and more talented than me, why would she choose me?” Coming back to his senses, Han Li could only grit his teeth and reply. This really baffled him.
“Hehe! That’s your fate! Your Senior Uncle Hongfu suffered a heartbreak years ago and dislikes handsome, frivolous men. So when she chose a partner for her disciple this time, those men she disliked naturally didn’t catch her eye. This meant the candidate had to be about the same age and not look repulsive to her. Among hundreds of foundation establishment stage disciples in Yellow Maple Valley, that’s hard to find. She visited multiple secluded mansions like your master’s, but you’re the first she met and liked so much,” Li Huayuan said proudly.
