Primordial Cultivator

Chapter 160: A Request

Yang Wei held a gawking expression as he never expected to be on the ranking list.

During that time when he thrashes Xia Tingfeng, Yang Wei only thought he was another nobody that was babbling nonsense so he didn’t even care much about his words.

However, it seemed like Xia Tingfeng was indeed somebody well-known within the outer disciples.

“Uhh- I didn’t know about Xia Tingfeng ranking initially.” Yang Wei tried to explain to Instructor Su.

“I know that- after all, you were the only outer disciple that went to the mystery realm.” Instructor Su halted his explanation as she smiled slightly at him.

“You don’t seem to be surprised that I have found it out.” Instructor Su continued when she noticed Yang Wei merely nodded his head.

Yang Wei took a seat down as well and shrugged his shoulders.

“It’s not like I have been keeping it a secret at all and anyone with an intelligent mind can figure out the truth.” Yang Wei then said.

His disappearance in the sect was aligned with the time when the mystery realm opened and his reappearance was when the mystery realm officially ended.

As long as someone took the time to think a little bit then they could pinpoint who was the lucky outer disciple.

Thus, Yang Wei wasn’t surprised that Instructor Su figured him out right away.

Instructor Su chuckled softly at Yang Wei’s calm composure as she said, “I knew there was something different about you during our first meeting. However, I just couldn’t pinpoint it where but now that I have gotten a closer look.”

Instructor Su then proceeds to sense Yang Wei’s cultivation base and said, “To think that you managed to increase your cultivation base by 8 stages in such a short term- such a feat is near impossible.”

Yang Wei shook his head, “It’s not that amazing since I have required multiple help from someone and the lucky encounter I get.”

He wasn’t going to claim the credits of being a genius when he managed to increase his cultivation base because of Elder Jing.

After all, without Elder Jing’s help, Yang Wei feared that he would still be a 3rd stage Qi Condensation realm for a very long time.

Instructor Su no longer lingered on this topic as she took a deep breath.

Afterward, she looked at Yang Wei solemnly as she slowly asked, “Yang Wei, are you willing to help Instructor Su out with a mission?”

Yang Wei was confused as to why Instructor Su would ask him for help when there are multiple candidates and better people than him.

“Instructor Su, as much as I want to help, I hope that you don’t overestimate my ability as I’m just an outer disciple.” Yang Wei said, hoping that Instructor Su would find someone more capable.

Instructor Su grabbed the cup from the table and took a few sips. “Did you think I would come over here just to hear you reject my request?”

“Uh- probably not,” Yang Wei stuttered. For some reason, he felt a chill coming from Instructor Su.

It was almost like Instructor Su changed to a different person.

“Yang Wei, who was the person that helped you out in that dilemma?” Instructor Su asked.

Yang Wei didn’t even take a second as he replied swiftly, “It was you, Instructor Su.”

“Then shouldn’t it be obvious that one should return the favor to their benefactor,” Instructor Su smiled as she stared at Yang Wei.

Yang Wei raised his hand in surrender when he had nothing else to retort her claim.

Not to mention, arguing with his instructor wouldn’t be ideal since he still needs to attend her lecture.

“Good, follow me then,” Instructor Su clasped her hand as she stood up.

Sometime later, Yang Wei was surprised that Insutrctor Su brought him back to her courtyard.

“Don’t even try to think of anything dirty or lewd. I only brought you here to give you an item.” Instructor Su said, making it clear to Yang Wei.

“Of course, Instructor Su,” Yang Wei replied softly. 

The thought of doing something lewd with Instructor Su has never crossed his mind as he was merely confused about what the mission was.

Coming from his instructor, he already knew it wasn’t going to be some simple mission as she wouldn’t have personally gone to his courtyard.

Meanwhile, Instructor Su took some time before finding a token that was covered in dust.

Instructor Su retrieved a small cloth as she wiped away the dust slowly and said, “This token was rumored to open up a cave and that there is an item inside that could help increase a woman’s beauty.”

While saying this, Instructor Su was blushing as she asked Yang Wei to keep this a secret.

“Remember, t-this is a secret and you are not allowed to tell anyone that I want to maintain my beauty.” Instructor Su said, causing Yang Wei to rub his temple slightly.

Yang Wei was rendered speechless at her action and said, “I-Instructor Su, your beauty is already amazing so I don’t see why you would want to go for a rumored item to maintain your beauty.”

Yang Wei wasn’t lying as he could tell that Instructor Su was on par with Elder Shan and Elder Jing.

Hence, he didn’t get her reason to chase after a rumored item and more importantly, asking him to help her out.

Meanwhile, Instructor Su started exuding a cold aura as she said, “What do you know about a female and their beauty? No matter where, any female would want their beauty to be the best.”

Yang Wei didn’t deny her words as he would occasionally see Elder Jing secretly applying makeup back in the mystery realm.

“Then why did you specifically ask for my help? Shouldn’t you be asking a female disciple for this kind of stuff?” Yang Wei then asked her.

“It’s because I’m too popular with the disciples that everyone would know as soon as I ask them. I need someone trustworthy and have no friends in the sect.” Instructor Su said.
