Su Qingyan was indeed a very clever girl.
She quickly realized that if the Ancestor had no other intentions, he would have already driven her away and wouldn't have bothered to say so much.
Recalling the Ancestor's earlier words about "whether you are willing to pay the corresponding price," it was clear he had ulterior motives.
After biting her lip tightly, Su Qingyan understood something and looked up at Chen Lie: "Ancestor... what must I do to gain your full support?"
At this moment, Chen Lie didn't beat around the bush. He gently caressed Su Qingyan's cheek again:"Recently, by a stroke of luck, I acquired a Dual Cultivation Technique!
This technique is powerful, but it requires a woman of exceptional quality as a cauldron furnace for my cultivation to advance rapidly!
I see that you, Qingyan, meet this condition perfectly!
That's why I mentioned this to you today.
I think you understand my intentions, and how you choose to proceed is entirely up to you!
If you disagree, I won't force you!"
The price to be paid was to become the Ancestor's dual cultivation partner?
Although she had mentally prepared herself, Su Qingyan hadn't expected the "price" the Ancestor wanted her to pay would be this!
She was somewhat frightened, but she could understand it.
After all, the Ancestor offered the full support of the entire sect, and she had nothing of value to offer besides her beauty and body.
She didn't immediately agree, nor did she turn and leave.
Su Qingyan remained kneeling before Chen Lie.
The next second, she whispered:"Ancestor... I once heard an elder in my clan say,
Most Dual Cultivation Techniques come from the Demonic Cult and rely on harvesting a woman's cultivation and primal yin to nourish oneself..."
Before Su Qingyan could finish, Chen Lie knew where her unease stemmed from.
With a slight smile, he interrupted her: "Not all Dual Cultivation Techniques are about harvesting yin to supplement yang or vice versa. There are also Yin-Yang Mutual Complement types!
The former is indeed a demonic technique, but the latter is a righteous path technique blessed by the heavens!
If Qingyan is willing to follow me, I would never treat you as a mere cauldron furnace.
I can take you as a concubine!
You can see it as a transaction.
I never like to force anyone. If you disagree, you can leave now!"
Hearing Chen Lie's words, Su Qingyan's body trembled slightly.
Although she didn't leave, Chen Lie could tell she was having an intense internal conflict.
Should she turn away or cling to the Ancestor's leg?
Seeing Su Qingyan's pale face as she weighed the pros and cons, Chen Lie silently moved from his seat to her side.
He whispered seductively in her delicate ear:"If you choose to follow me...
I will fully support you! From today, the entire sect's resources will be at your disposal!
With me as your backing and the sect's resources as your foundation!
It can be hard to make great work when its stolen from "pawread dot com".
No matter how impressive Ye Tian's background is, Now he's an ant before you, and three years later, he'll still be an ant crawling at your feet!
Ha... does he think it's easy to rise against the heavens and seek revenge on you?
With me here, I won't let you suffer any grievances!
And the benefits of following me are not just these!
Your Su Clan will also receive strong support from my Wuji Sect!
The Su Clan raised you and treated you well; you should strive for more benefits for your family too!
Believe me, you won't regret today's choice!
Not only will you see higher vistas, but if you work hard, it's not impossible to secure a place in the Nine Heavens!
And that slap from Jiang Tan'er, you'll never forget it, will you?
Don't you want to return it one day with a higher stance?"
Return that slap?
Although Su Qingyan didn't dare to resist Ye Tan'er's pressure at the time, could she truly say there was no hatred in her heart?
Not to mention survival, becoming the Ancestor's favored concubine would be an honor for her.
Who knows how many thoughts ran through Su Qingyan's mind at that moment, but she quickly made a decision.
Closing her beautiful eyes, she took a deep breath and opened them again, completely transformed.
Her beautiful eyes were full of allure, and the next second, she spoke in an unprecedentedly sweet voice:"To have the Ancestor's favor is a blessing I've cultivated over several lifetimes,
How could I dare refuse? But there are many things I don't understand, and I hope the Ancestor will guide me well in the future!"
Hearing these words, Chen Lie knew exactly what Su Qingyan had decided.
He didn't say anything more, just pulled Su Qingyan into his embrace:"Rest assured, since you're willing to serve me, I will certainly treat you well!
Isn't it just Ye Tian? Does he think seeking revenge is easy?
With my careful nurturing, rest assured, in three years, I'll make sure you have the power to crush Ye Tian's skull!
And as for that slap from Ye Tan'er, you'll definitely get your chance to return it!"
