Upon hearing Beiming Xue and Ouyang Feiting's words, Beiming Heng sighed and said, "Oh, what did I just say? Men are destined to be abandoned by women."
After finishing, Beiming Heng shook his head, sighing, and looked at Wang Yan with a gaze filled with sympathy for a kindred spirit.
Looking at Beiming Xue and Ouyang Feiting standing before him, Wang Yan showed a hint of sorrow on his face, lowered his head hesitantly for a moment, nodded, and said, "Xue'er, Feiting, I don't know why, but when I heard what you both said, I felt a deep pain in my heart. However, as long as you both have decided, I shouldn't force you."
Seeing Wang Yan's sorrow, and hearing his words, Beiming Xue couldn't help but burst into a laugh.
Seeing Beiming Xue laugh, Ouyang Feiting couldn't help but laugh as well.
At first, both of them were just smiling lightly, but their smiles grew broader, slowly filling their entire faces.
Looking at the two laughing heartily in front of him, Wang Yan couldn't help but scratch his head, wondering why they were laughing.
Beiming Xue and Ouyang Feiting laughed for quite a while before gradually stopping, wiping away a crystal tear from the corner of their eyes, they looked at Wang Yan with tenderness.
Wang Yan awkwardly asked, "What's so funny?"
Beiming Xue sweetly smiled and said, "Brother Wang Yan, how could I bear to leave you? Those words I just said were taught to me by my master, not my own intention."
Ouyang Feiting also nodded and said, "If I had to leave you, I would rather not learn. Anyway, my master didn't order me to leave you, hehe, Brother Wang Yan, I'm heading back now."
With that, Beiming Xue and Ouyang Feiting waved to Wang Yan and turned back to their respective thatched huts behind them.
Wang Yan turned to look at Beiming Heng and asked in confusion, "Senior, do you know why they changed their minds so quickly?"
However, upon hearing Wang Yan's question, Beiming Heng didn't answer at all.
At that moment, Beiming Heng's eyes were wide open, his mouth almost capable of holding an egg, just staring blankly at Wang Yan.
It took Beiming Heng a long time to blink as if coming back to his senses after hearing Wang Yan ask him.
Then, Beiming Heng slapped his thigh and said, "Kid, you've got a real skill here, feigning disinterest to catch later, brilliant, truly brilliant, I've lived over a hundred years in vain." Thɪs chapter is updatᴇd by ɴo(v)elFɪre.ɴet
"Senior, what are you talking about?" Wang Yan asked in confusion.
"Don't call me senior, let's be brothers, you call me Heng, I'll call you Brother Yan." With that, Beiming Heng pulled Wang Yan, who was about to refuse, to sit beside him, warmly saying, "Brother Yan, quickly teach me how to make women obedient."
"Senior, I really don't know, I don't understand women at all, I really can't answer this." Wang Yan replied helplessly.
Beiming Heng quickly laughed and said, "Don't worry, I won't ask you to teach for free. How about this, you teach me how to make women obedient, and I'll help you increase your cultivation. How's that? I see you're only at the level of a Demon Master, though that's good for young people, with my help, you'll surely improve much more. Hehe, I don't know who your master is, if he knew I was guiding you, he'd surely come to thank me."
With that, Beiming Heng reached out and grabbed Wang Yan's wrist, inspecting it carefully.
Wang Yan knew Beiming Heng meant no harm, so he let him grab his wrist, asking simultaneously, "Senior, I still don't know what your name is?"
Beiming Heng said, "My name is a secret, just call me Heng..."
The rest of Beiming Heng's sentence was interrupted by his sudden change of expression; he abruptly released Wang Yan's wrist as if burned, then stood up from the chair, his face full of fear.
Wang Yan asked in surprise, "Pre... Oh, Heng, what's wrong?"
Beiming Heng stared at Wang Yan as if looking at a monster, his face filled with terror, and after a while, he said, "I was talking nonsense earlier, I hope your master's wisdom doesn't take offense, I was wrong."
With that, Beiming Heng made a respectful salute towards the void, and only when he straightened did the fear slowly subside from his face.
Wang Yan was even more puzzled and asked, "Heng, my master won't blame you for what you said earlier."
Beiming Heng shook his head and said with reverence, "A master high up cannot be desecrated. Brother Yan, who is your venerable master?"
Wang Yan shook his head and said, "I don't know, my master never mentioned his name."
Beiming Heng again asked, "Then what is his cultivation level?"
Wang Yan shook his head even more, saying, "My master has never revealed his cultivation level to me. Heng, what did you see inside me to be so shocked?"
Beiming Heng said, "Brother Yan, to be honest, I initially thought your cultivation was not high, despite being in your teens, only a Demon Master, thinking your master had wasted your years. If it were me, you might have already been a Demon King by now. But upon inspecting your insides, I realized your master is indeed an extraordinary master; his teachings to you are truly divine."
As Wang Yan listened, he became more confused and urgently asked, "Heng, is there anything unusual within me?"
Beiming Heng said, "If my guess is right, your master has not activated your Demon Pattern in over ten years."
Wang Yan nodded and said, "Yes, when I was seventeen, my master told me about the Demon Pattern, and it took me a year to reach the level of a Demon Warrior."
Beiming Heng's eyes lit up and said, "Your master's brilliance is right here. Because for the previous seventeen years, none of your time was wasted, but you were unknowingly tempering your entire body. This kind of tempering has brought your body and mental realm to an extremely high level, that is — Unity of Heaven and Man."
"Unity of Heaven and Man? What's that?" Wang Yan asked curiously.
Beiming Heng slowly raised his head, solemnly saying, "Unity of Heaven and Man is a magical state. Even I have only heard of it. It is said that those who reach this state, during cultivation, progress rapidly, and the advancement accelerates even more with time. Unlike others who find their progress fast at first but slower later, you are just the opposite, slow at first, but increasingly fast as you proceed."
Hearing this, Wang Yan nodded and said, "No wonder it took me so long to advance from Demon Warrior to Demon Master."
Beiming Heng stroked his white beard and said, "See, I'm not wrong, how long did it take you?"
Wang Yan thought for a moment and said, "I was a mid-tier Demon Warrior when I came down the mountain, and now I'm a Demon Master; it took about two months."
As Beiming Heng was stroking his beard, after hearing Wang Yan's words, he suddenly pulled out seven or eight strands of his white beard, not feeling any pain at all, then he widened his eyes and said, "What? Two months is long? Are you... still human? If so, won't you progress even faster later on? Not human, you're simply not human, my goodness, with such a prodigy emerging, how are we elders supposed to live?!?"
