Teacher, She Fooled You

As night fell, there was a knock on Su Cheng's door.

He glanced towards the door, not expecting Qian Renxue to arrive at this time.

After thinking about it, I got up and went over.

No sooner had he reached out than the door was opened from the outside.

Immediately afterwards, a figure rushed into his arms.

"What are you doing?" Su Cheng didn't dodge, but held her delicate body in his arms and asked with a mix of amusement and exasperation, "Why did you come at this time?"

"Didn't you tell me I'd have time to see you? Now I happen to be free."

Qian Renxue raised her head, her golden pupils shining like stars.

"All right."

Su Cheng released her hand and led her back into the room.

In any case, High-level Spirit Master hardly get any sleep anyway, and spend most of their nights meditating and regulating their breathing.

For someone like him, the main focus would naturally be on cultivating the Innate Skill.

Qian Renxue affectionately took his arm and followed beside him.

Although his arm was constantly feeling a soft touch, Su Cheng didn't have much desire in his heart at this moment; he was just a little surprised by her reaction.

He naturally had no doubt about the other party's feelings.

But neither she nor her eccentric and flamboyant second personality ever showed such a clingy attitude.

What's wrong with you today?

"I was just thinking about some things from the past." Qian Renxue's pretty face flushed slightly, and her voice was soft.

In fact, it's much more than that.

She had a lot more to say.

Especially after carefully reading through those two volumes of the Innate Skill, he could hardly contain his excitement and admiration.

Hearing her say this, Su Cheng couldn't help but recall the days when he taught her cultivation, and he felt a similar sense of emotion.

He then laughed and said, "Then you should work even harder. You're no match for me now."

"I never intended to be a teacher's rival."

The Elder Hall of Spirit City is not very large.

But there are even fewer elders here.

Therefore, when the space is divided among each person's living quarters, there is a considerable amount of room.

After arriving at an empty, unused room, Su Cheng patted Qian Renxue on the shoulder.

He only extended his palm after the other person released his arm and stood aside.

Then, five pale white, almost transparent sword energies appeared in his palm, flowing between his five fingers.

"This is...?"

As she gazed at those unremarkable, transparent auras, Qian Renxue's expression gradually became serious.

Although her cultivation level had only recently broken through to the Soul Saint, her strength was comparable to that of an ordinary Titled Douluo.

Because of their twin souls, their perception is extremely strong, and they instantly noticed the unusual nature of these sword energies.

It is no exaggeration to say that any one of them would have posed a fatal threat to her.

But this was merely a casual act by Su Cheng.

"Want to learn?" Su Cheng asked softly, noticing her surprised and wary expression.

"Can I learn it too?" Qian Renxue asked uncertainly.

She didn't doubt that Su Cheng would cherish his possessions.

She understood that Su Cheng's foundation was different from others, and there were many things that even if he was willing to teach, others simply couldn't learn them.

Moreover, Self-Created Soul Skill requires a perfect match of many factors, such as Martial Soul, skills, and even willpower.

The Clear Sky Sect is a unique sect in the world, possessing a top-tier Martial Soul that can be easily passed down, supplemented by matching Soul Skill. They also have only one Martial Soul.

Looking at their Angel Clan, although their Martial Soul has been passed down from generation to generation, unfortunately, apart from their ancestors, no one of extraordinary talent has emerged in the past.

It wasn't until Qian Renxue that she was truly gifted.

However, her Self-Created Soul Skill complements her twin soul, something that no one else can learn.

Su Cheng clenched his fingers, and the sword light disappeared between them.

"Of course you can learn it. This is not Self-Created Soul Skill; it is the third volume of the Innate Skill."

"I see." Qian Renxue suddenly looked enlightened.

She had already read those two volumes of cultivation manuals during the day.

The second volume describes the method of using one's own Soul Power to nourish the Soul Master's body and soul, and helps cultivators to utilize these unique powers to a certain extent.

Although the soul is not as easy to control as the physical body and Soul Power, at least after cultivating the Innate Skill, one can make some use of one's own Soul Power.

Even a normal Soul Master, even at the Titled Douluo level, would find it difficult to control such profound power. At most, they could only passively transfer Soul Power in their Martial Soul Avatar state, which was extremely rudimentary.

However, Qian Renxue had experience in becoming a god, and due to the special nature of her soul, she actually had a great innate advantage in this regard.

After witnessing Su Cheng's display of Innate Power, she realized that the first two volumes of the Innate Skill had a crucial function: laying the foundation for the third volume.

"By the way, teacher, should we pass on this technique to the younger generation of the Spirit Hall?" Qian Renxue asked at this moment.

The reason she asked this question had little to do with the Spirit Hall itself; she was simply reminded of Su Cheng's earlier mention of needing help.

The reason I went to the academy today to observe the cultivation of those young Soul Master was for this purpose.

"That's possible," Su Cheng said thoughtfully, "But I need to think about it first. This technique will have a significant impact, so the process of promoting it needs to be carefully considered."

He then looked at Qian Renxue beside him and said, "Since you've seen the contents, you must understand what it would mean if it were spread, right?"

"Of course." Qian Renxue turned to meet his gaze, her eyes sparkling.

In fact, a large part of the reason she came in such a hurry today was that after seeing the cultivation technique, she could hardly contain her emotions.

Under Su Cheng's past tutelage, she had also accumulated a wealth of knowledge.

Having a vast amount of theoretical knowledge, even surpassing that of Bibi Dong today, she naturally understood the significance of this set of techniques.

She never dared to underestimate her teacher.

Even so, she never expected that the other party would take such an unconventional path.

The first two volumes of the Innate Skill alone have already opened up a completely new path of cultivation.

It might even break the upper limit of Soul Master cultivation in the future.

Even at its worst, it still gave countless ordinary people the opportunity to cultivate themselves.

Even just thinking about it is enough to get one's blood pumping.

"Xiao Xue, with this technique, your twin souls will no longer be a hidden danger, but a truly unique talent. After you complete the cultivation of the third volume, you may be able to master power even stronger than mine."

"Stronger than you?" Qian Renxue thought for a moment, then snapped her fingers excitedly. "That's fine too, as long as I can help the teacher more, that's enough."

Su Cheng smiled but didn't say anything more.

Qian Renxue can do whatever she wants, and there's no need for them to worry about these things.

However, her statement just now was probably just wishful thinking on her part.

The other soul within her body might not agree with her idea.

Thinking of this, Su Cheng couldn't help but click his tongue.

The guy's behavior during the day also surprised him.

"By the way, what did Bibi Dong want to see you about today?"

Instead of rushing to cultivate, Qian Renxue first asked a question she had been curious about before.

"Nothing too important, just asked about the progress of the Silver Needle Acupoint Stimulation technique," Su Cheng said casually.

"Is it really necessary to call you over for something so trivial? This Pope must have a lot of free time."

Qian Renxue frowned, sensing that things weren't so simple.

Logically speaking, Bibi Dong is definitely not someone who doesn't know what's important.

Su Cheng was not some nobody in the Spirit Hall who had neither talent nor background and could be ordered around at will.

"Xiao Xue, I don't think you need to be so hostile towards her."

Seeing this, Su Cheng couldn't help but offer some words of comfort, "She actually still values you a lot. Even disregarding other relationships, from the perspective of the Spirit Hall alone, there's no need for you to be too antagonistic towards each other and engage in pointless internal strife. Anyway, you've already let go of those past events."

What did she say to you?

Upon hearing this, Qian Renxue not only did not feel relieved, but instead narrowed her eyes slightly, revealing a hint of suspicion in her gaze as she looked at Su Cheng.

To think that her own teacher would speak well of Bibi Dong surprised her, and also made her secretly wary.

She didn't think Bibi Dong had any good intentions.

"She said..."

Just as he was about to speak, Su Cheng suddenly realized that Bibi Dong's real purpose was to reduce the time he spent with Qian Renxue.

Regardless of whether the intentions behind this are good or bad, Qian Renxue's personality would certainly not allow her to accept such an arrangement.

To say it out loud would be like adding fuel to the fire.

It would be better to use a different excuse.

"... She said you are the hope of the Spirit Hall, the destined future Pope of the Spirit Hall, so she will do her best to help you cultivate in the future."

"..." Upon hearing this, Qian Renxue looked at Su Cheng and slowly shook her head. "No, you're hiding something from me."

"Um?"

"She contacted you first, it couldn't be just because of that. If she wanted to say that, she could have just told me directly, there was no need for her to contact you."

At this point, her pretty face first darkened slightly.

Then, surprisingly, he started analyzing things quietly to himself.

"Since she took the initiative to contact you, she must have been talking about something related to you."

"But you just spoke up for her again. You always act as you please. Since you took the initiative to say those things, you must have been moved by her."

"So, what Bibi Dong talked to you about must be related to both you and me."

"What could it be..."

Qian Renxue lowered her eyelids, her expression extremely serious.

"..."

Seeing her serious expression, Su Cheng was completely speechless.

This mother and daughter are really...

No, I can't let her keep overthinking like this.

"Xiao Xue— "

"Teacher." Qian Renxue didn't look up, but simply raised her hand to stop him from speaking.

"Don't interrupt my train of thought."

"..."

At this moment, Qian Renxue suddenly raised her head, looked at him with a serious expression, and said, "Teacher, you've probably been fooled by her."
