Dual Cultivation With My Yandere Disciples

As Chen Xuan’s voice echoed through the cultivation room, Su Yitian suddenly froze.

Her expression shifted rapidly, astonishment, panic, and even a trace of fear flashing across her face one after another.

She had expected Chen Xuan to ask many questions. However, she had never imagined he would ask that one.

For the briefest moment, her composure nearly collapsed. Fortunately, she recovered almost instantly.

The fear on her face disappeared as she hurriedly shook her head.

"I don’t know what you’re talking about. The same aura? You should know that’s impossible!"

"You’re mistaken. Perhaps it’s because both Senior Sister and I practice the same cultivation technique."

She denied it outright.

Not only that, she even looked at Chen Xuan as though questioning his sanity.

Two cultivators possessing the exact same aura? That was simply impossible.

Her expression practically screamed that Chen Xuan had gone mad.

The look nearly made him choke.

Although he had expected a denial, he certainly hadn’t expected her to be this shameless.

Even more interestingly, the moment he voiced his suspicion, Su Yitian’s aura subtly changed.

It remained somewhat similar to before, yet its essence was now distinctly different, as though she had instinctively concealed something.

Unfortunately for Su Yitian, such a trick was meaningless before Chen Xuan.

Not only had he already confirmed his suspicions long ago, but he also possessed the Heavenly Insight Eye.

This meant that he was able to see her information easily.

With a single glance, her information appeared before him.

...

[Name: Su Yitian]

[Physique: None]

[Cultivation: Nascent Soul (Late) {Sealed}]

[Technique: None]

[Talent Rating: None]

[Evaluation: A bizarre creature born out of the practice of a forbidden technique. She does not know her true identity and possesses her own memories.]

...

This was, without question, the strangest panel Chen Xuan had ever seen.

Almost every column was empty. Even the Talent Rating, which the System had never failed to provide before, was completely blank.

There was no Physique. No cultivation technique.

From every possible perspective, such a person should not have existed.

Even ordinary mortals possessed Mortal Bodies. Su Yitian lacking a Physique didn’t merely imply she couldn’t cultivate.

Rather, it suggested that she shouldn’t exist in the first place.

Fortunately, the Evaluation provided enough clues to illuminate most of Chen Xuan’s doubts.

A creature born from the practice of a forbidden technique!

That single sentence explained almost everything.

Forbidden techniques.

Chen Xuan was naturally familiar with the term.

Such techniques referred to cultivation arts or secret methods that granted tremendous benefits while carrying equally terrifying drawbacks.

The simplest examples were Life-Burning Arts, which sacrificed one’s lifespan or vitality in exchange for a brief explosion of power.

Nearly every experienced cultivator knew at least one such technique.

However, beyond these relatively common methods existed far stranger forbidden arts.

Some devoured bloodlines. Others damaged the soul.

Judging from Su Yitian’s existence, Su Tianyi had clearly cultivated one of the latter type.

After all, giving birth to an entirely independent being with its own memories and personality was far beyond the capabilities of ordinary cloning techniques.

Su Yitian wasn’t a clone. She was an entirely new life.

The more Chen Xuan contemplated the matter, the deeper his shock became.

He had never encountered anything remotely similar.

Furthermore, although Su Yitian’s strange reaction suggested she might know something about her unusual origins, the System clearly stated otherwise.

Most likely, everything she believed about herself had been fabricated. Or perhaps implanted.

’Does Su Tianyi even realize what kind of existence she has created?’

’How can she feel at ease allowing this girl to wander outside?’

Although Chen Xuan had never seen such a lifeform before, he understood one thing perfectly.

Su Yitian was extraordinarily important.

If someone captured her, there was an overwhelming chance they could influence Su Tianyi through whatever mysterious connection existed between them.

Whether it was by using her as a medium for a curse, or enslaving her soul to affect Su Tianyi, they were all possible.

Subconsciously, Chen Xuan recalled every previous conversation he had shared with Su Tianyi.

She had mentioned Su Yitian more than once.

Yet strangely enough, she had never once asked Chen Xuan to send her back.

On the contrary, she had repeatedly and rather subtly suggested that Su Yitian remain by his side.

Previously, Chen Xuan hadn’t paid much attention to those words. He had merely assumed she trusted him enough to keep the girl alive.

Now, however, he interpreted them very differently.

He strongly suspected Su Tianyi was facing some sort of predicament, one that prevented her from personally looking after Su Yitian.

Unable to protect her herself, she had instead entrusted her safety to Chen Xuan.

This not only showed her trust in him, but was also evidence of the difficulties she was facing. As a Nascent Soul cultivator and the practitioner of this technique, Su Tianyi couldn’t possibly know less than him.

’Could it be...’

’Did this girl also come to help me because of Su Tianyi’s arrangements?’

’But judging from her reaction, she doesn’t seem aware of that at all. If anything, she looks like a child who secretly ran away from home.’

’Could she have been manipulated?’

Although it remained only speculation, Chen Xuan found the theory increasingly convincing.

Most likely, Su Tianyi had quietly guided Su Yitian into seeking him out while making her genuinely believe the decision had been entirely her own.

Such methods sounded absurd.

Yet considering Su Tianyi’s intelligence, it was quite possible.

With that thought, Chen Xuan dismissed the System panel.

When he looked back at Su Yitian, his gaze carried an unmistakable trace of pity.

Being born through a forbidden technique was already tragic enough. To remain blissfully ignorant of her own circumstances only made it worse.

This girl... was not too smart.

Su Yitian had originally expected Chen Xuan to continue questioning her.

After all, even she knew her excuse had been rather flimsy.

Yet instead of pressing further, Chen Xuan merely stared at her silently for several long moments.

Then, he looked at her with sympathy.

Her mind immediately short-circuited. She had absolutely no idea where such an expression had come from.

Still, her instincts told her one thing.

Whatever Chen Xuan was thinking was definitely not anything good.

She puffed up her cheeks, preparing to protest. Unfortunately, Chen Xuan interrupted her first.

He slowly raised his hand.

"Alright."

"For Su Tianyi’s sake—and because you helped me once—I will spare your life for now."

The moment those words fell, Su Yitian’s eyes immediately brightened. Relief spread across her face.

However, before she could celebrate, Chen Xuan calmly continued.

"For now, you’ll remain by my side."

"We’ll wait until I meet Su Tianyi again. Then we’ll discuss how you should be dealt with."

"I’ll keep your cultivation sealed in the meantime. You can serve as a maid."

Those few words left Su Yitian completely dumbfounded. For several seconds, she simply blinked blankly.

But as the word "maid" registered, her entire face turned crimson.

Despite her cultivation being sealed, she looked ready to leap forward and scratch Chen Xuan’s face.

Unfortunately for her, Chen Xuan gave her no opportunity whatsoever.

With a casual wave of his sleeve, Spiritual Energy wrapped around her body.

Before she could utter another complaint, she had already been sent flying outside the courtyard.

"Follow Su Ying’s instructions. If you fail to adapt to your new role, I’ll have no choice but to send you back to the dark room."

Those indifferent words continued echoing inside Su Yitian’s mind long after she had disappeared.

At the same time, Chen Xuan transmitted a message to Su Ying, briefly explaining the situation and asking her to look after the newly appointed "maid."

Watching Su Yitian vanish into the distance, Chen Xuan let out a slow breath.

Her situation was far more complicated than he had initially imagined. Moreover, he had the faint feeling that this matter would not be resolved anytime soon.

Not only because of Su Yitian herself, but also because of whatever circumstance had prevented Su Tianyi from handling such an important issue personally.

The more Chen Xuan thought about it, the heavier his heart became.

He retrieved a transmission talisman and even considered sending Su Tianyi a message.

In the end, however, he lowered his hand.

If she had wanted to tell him, Su Tianyi would have already done so.

Since she hadn’t, it meant that she could either not say it or simply didn’t want to.

Shaking his head, he rubbed the space between his brows.

Although the war had ended, he felt tired.

Especially when he remembered the next matter awaiting him. Even compared to Su Yitian’s situation, it wasn’t any less troublesome.

Unfortunately, he could no longer continue putting it off.

With another wave of his hand, a second figure materialized inside the cultivation room.

Unlike Su Yitian, this person appeared quietly, still looking somewhat weak from her injuries.

The moment she scanned her surroundings and saw Chen Xuan, her eyes lit up.

Happiness flashed across them.

"Brother Chen?"
