Training Deathsworn?

The airship moved steadily above the clouds.

Wang Siyuan pursed his lips, his Adam's apple bobbing up and down, his heart overflowing with emotion.

He secretly vowed in his heart that he would never flinch even if it meant going through fire and water for his Senior Brother Lu!

Lu Yang had no idea what Wang Siyuan was thinking at that moment.

He casually flipped his Storage Ring, and a flash of light appeared on it. A large pile of Low-Grade Spirit Stones poured out and piled up in front of Wang Siyuan, their spiritual light flickering.

"Here are 100,000 Low-Grade Spirit Stones. Take them and use them first."

Wang Siyuan: "????"

He stared at the mountain of Low-Grade Spirit Stones, and his lips twitched violently.

After a long pause, he finally managed to tear his gaze away from the Spirit Stones and look at Lu Yang, asking somewhat cautiously, "Senior Brother Lu, how about we establish Master-Servant Contract? Otherwise, I really feel uneasy..."

Are you kidding me?!

They took out 100,000 Low-Grade Spirit Stones all at once, just for him to cultivate?!

Wang Siyuan felt that he would be embarrassed to take the money without Master-Servant Contract!

Although he knew that Senior Brother Lu was a very good person and always generous.

But the weight of these 100,000 Spirit Stones was too heavy, so heavy that it made his scalp tingle.

Lu Yang was also taken aback by Wang Siyuan's words.

What is that?

A Master-Servant Contract?!

This is a bit much, isn't it?

He was somewhat at a loss for words, both amused and exasperated.

He originally just thought Wang Siyuan was a good person, and since he happened to have an investment card, he just invested a little.

For him, making money is great, but losing money won't hurt him much.

He has too many ways to obtain Spirit Stones.

With his current savings of over three million Spirit Stones, to be honest, he wasn't too concerned about the profit or loss of this investment.

He just wanted to do it, so he did.

It's that simple.

But Wang Siyuan was even more outrageous than he had imagined.

You're willing to become a servant?

Something's definitely not right.

Lu Yang muttered to himself, secretly glancing at the favorability rating on the panel.

Favorability: 100

Lu Yang's lips twitched slightly.

Junior Brother Wang, you're awesome!

He now feels a little regretful that Junior Brother Wang isn't a female cultivator.

Reaching 100 favorability with a male cultivator is useless; it doesn't unlock the "Beauty Cultivation" module or trigger any special rewards.

However... with such a high level of affection, it's no wonder she took the initiative to ask to sign Master-Servant Contract.

Junior Brother Wang is practically the template for a suicide squad now, isn't he?

Lu Yang waved his hand, his tone casual and gentle. "No need, since it's for you, just take it."

With 100% affection level already, whether or not we sign Master-Servant Contract makes no difference, to be honest.

Wang Siyuan paused for a moment, then nodded vigorously and said earnestly, "I'll listen to Senior Brother Lu!"

In his mind, he might as well consider himself to have signed this Master-Servant Contract.

Lu Yang said no more, telling Wang Siyuan to go to the guest room to cultivate in peace, while he turned and went up to the top floor of the flying boat.

As soon as Lu Yang stepped onto the top floor, he saw Jiang Shiqing standing at the bedroom door, her body straight, her hands folded in front of her, her posture upright.

She looked like a maid waiting for orders.

She wore a simple light blue dress, her long hair was tied into a simple bun, revealing a section of her fair and slender neck.

Upon seeing Lu Yang approach, she quickly bowed and greeted him, her voice respectful yet tinged with nervousness. "Young Master."

Lu Yang smiled and said casually, "No need to be so polite, just relax."

He paused for a moment, then remembered something and asked, "Shiqing, do you have a communication token?"

Jiang Shiqing was slightly taken aback, then quickly nodded. "Yes, but my communication token is of low quality and can only be effective within a radius of a thousand miles."

"It's alright." Lu Yang smiled. "Now that you're with me, we should exchange our communication tokens. Let's do it now, and when we get to the Golden Rainbow Sword Sect's market, I'll buy you a higher-quality communication token."

Jiang Shiqing nodded gently. "Yes, young master."

She took out a white jade token from her Storage Bag, and Lu Yang also took out his sect token.

After a series of steps, the mark was applied, and the exchange was complete.

Lu Yang glanced at the "Beauty" template on the panel; Jiang Shiqing's information had already appeared.

However, to Lu Yang's surprise, Jiang Shiqing's favorability rating was unexpectedly high.

Jiang Shiqing (Favorability rating: 78)

Goodness...

This is almost at the standard for dual cultivation!

It's important to know that Lu Yang and Jiang Shiqing have hardly interacted at all lately!

The last time we talked was at that banquet in the Taibai Mountain Range.

Unexpectedly, Jiang Shiqing's favorability rating towards him reached 78 points!

This is even faster than when Senior Sister Lin's favorability rating increased!

However, after a moment's thought, Lu Yang quickly understood the reason.

When Lu Yang first met Senior Sister Lin, he was just an ordinary beginner disciple who was slightly more handsome.

However, the situation was completely different when he met Jiang Shiqing.

The Flowing Light Flying Boat hovered in the sky, accompanied by Golden Core servants, and was welcomed by all the forces of Taibai Market.

Such a handsome and mysterious noble young master, with an unfathomable background, would give any ordinary female cultivator a dazzling aura from the very beginning.

More importantly, the Jiang Household was in a very bad situation at the time.

Lu Yang's decision to have Jiang Shiqing accompany him at the banquet was almost like a ray of hope for the Jiang Household in their desperate situation.

Therefore, Jiang Shiqing's current level of goodwill is quite reasonable.

This is only because the two of them haven't interacted much.

If I showed Jiang Shiqing even a little more care, her favorability rating would probably immediately reach 80 points.

With this in mind, Lu Yang wasn't in a hurry to claim the favorability reward.

He looked at Jiang Shiqing gently, his tone filled with concern, and asked, "How is the Jiang Household now? You are now one of my people. If the Jiang Household is in any trouble, you can tell me."

Jiang Shiqing clearly hadn't expected Lu Yang to bring this up.

She froze for a moment, as if her most tender spot had been touched. Her eyes reddened slightly, and a thin layer of mist appeared in them, glistening in the sunlight streaming through the porthole.

Young Master Lu... is actually concerned about her Lineage?

A warm feeling welled up from the bottom of her heart.

She quickly took a deep breath, suppressing the bitterness in her voice, which was still tinged with emotion. "Young Master... it's all thanks to you taking Shiqing. The forces in the Taibai Mountain Range, who are wary of you, have become much more friendly towards the Jiang Household."

Lu Yang nodded slightly. "That's good. Let me know if you encounter any problems in the future."

Jiang Shiqing's red lips trembled slightly, and she nodded vigorously. "Yes! Thank you for your concern, young master."

Lu Yang looked at Jiang Shiqing, who was moved, and remained silent for a moment before gently reaching out to touch her hair.

The movements were light and unhurried, carrying a soothing quality.

Jiang Shiqing's body visibly stiffened when Lu Yang's palm landed, and then she trembled slightly involuntarily.

However, she quickly calmed down, though her breathing was a little rapid.

She did not flinch.

Gradually, her tense shoulders relaxed, like a cat whose fur had been stroked, and she stood there quietly, letting that warm hand cover her head.

Lu Yang did not stay for long.

He withdrew his hand, his expression remaining gentle and composed, showing no sign of urgency.

From beginning to end, his peripheral vision kept glancing at the favorability rating on the panel.

From showing concern for the Jiang Household earlier, to gently patting Jiang Shiqing's head to comfort her.

In just a short while, Jiang Shiqing's favorability rating has reached 85 points!

Lu Yang's lips curled up, his expression quite pleased.

I've also earned the 80 points of favorability reward!

He chuckled softly and said gently, "Go and cultivate. You don't need to stand here. I'll call you if I need anything."

With that, Lu Yang turned and walked into the bedroom.

Jiang Shiqing looked at the closed bedroom door, couldn't help but purse her full red lips, and a hint of envy appeared in her watery eyes.

She knew Lin Ying was here; she had even heard some strange noises coming from there before.

... Now that you've gone inside, young master, the two of them will surely make that kind of noise again, won't they?

As Jiang Shiqing pondered, her pretty face gradually flushed.

Although she knew she was not good enough for the young master, his warm words of comfort still made her think: if only the young master could be a little closer to her.

Jiang Shiqing unconsciously squeezed her legs together, turned around, and quickly walked towards the bedroom on one side.

That was the room Lu Yang had arranged for her; it included a cultivation room.

However, after entering the room, Jiang Shiqing wrapped herself completely in the blanket, her eyes filled with tears.

Then, she bit her lower lip, wrapped her entire body in it, and quickly threw out her plain light blue dress.

Young master, Shiqing harbored impure thoughts towards you, I'm so sorry...

In the bedroom, the lamplight was dimmed, and the sheer curtains filtered the sunlight from the window into a soft, warm hue.

On the large spirit wood bed, the brocade quilt was slightly disheveled. Lin Ying lay on her side on the pillow, her pretty face still bearing the languid look of someone who had just weathered a storm. The lingering blush on her cheeks was particularly captivating in the dim light.

She half-opened her eyes, gazing at the direction Lu Yang entered with watery eyes, a hint of coquettishness in her gaze.

An embarrassed look appeared on Lu Yang's old face.

Clearly, Senior Sister Lin had overheard what he and Jiang Shiqing were saying outside the door.

Showing concern for another female cultivator in front of his dao companion made him feel somewhat guilty, no matter how you looked at it.

He strode to the bedside, bent down and kissed her cheek, forcing a smile, "Senior Sister Lin, you're awake?"

Lin Ying nodded slightly.

She then glanced towards the door, her voice soft and gentle, yet clearly tinged with a hint of resentment. "You naughty junior brother, why didn't you eat Shiqing? Shiqing is quite a sight to behold."

Lu Yang's lips twitched.

A wicked smile then crept into his eyes. He leaned down and whispered in her ear, "Of course, we have to satisfy my dear Senior Sister Lin first."

Lin Ying's delicate body trembled violently, and her pretty face, which still carried a hint of languor, turned pale instantly.

The fifth day of the first lunar month.

Morning.

Lu Yang glanced at Lin Ying, who was fast asleep beside him, and a smile appeared on his lips.

In the end, Lin Ying even took the initiative to ask Lu Yang to find someone to help her share the burden.

This sense of accomplishment is indeed quite addictive.

He gently kissed her, tucked the stray hairs from her forehead behind her ear, and then opened the system panel with satisfaction.

He planned to check out the rewards for Jiang Shiqing's three favorability levels first.
