Log inChapter 20 - Four Seasons Sect
After they finished eating, Wu Yang went outside to walk around and breathe the fresh air he'd been starved of for so long.
He held Xiao Yan's waist, walking at a slow pace. He smiled as he took in everything around him, the chirping of the birds, the rustling of the leaves, the fragrance of the flowers, and the sunlight shining down on them, and he didn't think he'd be able to walk around like this again.
He felt himself come alive again, filled with energy and excitement for his future. It made him want to move forward, explore new things, and make his life worthwhile.
Meanwhile, Xiao Yan blushed deeply because her young master held her waist close to him. It was a rather intimate gesture that made her heart flutter and felt warm all over.
They walked through the garden for a while before leaving the Wu Clan's compound and entering the busy city streets. There were plenty of people everywhere they looked, bustling about on their daily errands and whatnot.
"Did anything interesting happen recently, Sister Xiao Yan?" Wu Yang asked his maid curiously.
He had lost interest in everything in the outside world since he was stuck in his room. But now, he couldn't stop himself from asking the question.
Xiao Yan looked up, her beautiful eyes glistening in the sunlight. "Ah, what would you like to know, Young Master?"
"I guess anything that might catch my interest," Wu Yang mused with a shrug. "Let's see... Are there any new things people are talking about in the city these days?"
Xiao Yan thought for a moment and said, "Hmm, there is a new teahouse in the city... It's quite popular nowadays because they also provide very good entertainment in the form of music and dances... Many people seem to go there for one of the beauties that work there. They say her beauty is unrivalled, and she could charm anyone with her alluring performance on the stage..."
Wu Yang raised an eyebrow at that and asked, "Oh? That sounds rather intriguing. I guess I should pay a visit when I feel up to it."
Then he asked, "Hmm, what else?"
Xiao Yan tilted her head. She thought more and suddenly remembered something.
"Ah, that's right... Young Master, there will soon be a recruitment in the city... It's for the Four Seasons Sect, which is one of the major powers in the province. If I'm not mistaken, it's going to happen in a week. The recruitment will be held in the Colosseum in the city centre. Anyone can apply as long as they've reached the Qi Gathering Realm or higher."
"Oh? The Four Seasons Sect?" Wu Yang was surprised by this news.
A major power like the Four Seasons Sect, which was considered a giant in the province, holding a recruitment here in the remote city where they lived was indeed a rare occurrence.
One should know that although the Four Seasons Sect might not care about the background or origin of the disciples it recruited, it was still hard to even get a chance to be evaluated, especially in smaller cities like theirs.
Under normal circumstances, they would have to travel far to the bigger cities where the Four Seasons Sect held these examinations. So this was indeed a great chance for the talented youths in their city to have a better future by joining a strong Sect.
Wu Yang started thinking about his next steps. He was quite interested in that sect, mainly because he needed powerful women for dual cultivation. This sect was one of the top powers in the region and must have plenty of beautiful and strong female disciples.
Those disciples were perfect to be his companions and help him on his path to greatness.
So when he heard the Four Seasons Sect was recruiting disciples now, he became interested instantly. It was as if fate was at work to align things so his plans could proceed smoothly.
"Sister Xiao Yan... This is great news. Thanks for telling me about it..."
He leaned down with a mischievous smile and kissed Xiao Yan on the lips. It was an instant reaction that caused the poor girl's mind to go blank again.
They parted after the kiss lasted a few seconds. Wu Yang licked his lips, tasting the soft and tender feel of the girl's mouth. It was quite addicting, making him want to kiss her even more.
"Mmm, as sweet as ever..."
Xiao Yan blushed and bit her lower lip in embarrassment, looking down. "Young Master, please stop teasing me..."
Wu Yang chuckled, not planning to stop anytime soon. "But it's quite fun to see you like this."
After that, he continued walking with a smile, thinking about the upcoming recruitment of the Four Seasons Sect. He had to get there no matter what and successfully become a disciple, or he would miss out on a huge opportunity.
Someone called out to Wu Yang from the left side at that moment, "Oh? If it isn't the Young Master of the Wu Clan? How unexpected to find you all healed and walking around."
Wu Yang stopped walking and turned to see a group of young people approaching him. His eyebrow rose slightly as he realized who the leader was. Upon seeing him, he couldn't help but chuckle mockingly, "Well, well, well, if it isn't Young Master Xu. You seem quite arrogant and haughty, as if you didn't lose to me one-sidedly last time. Do you want me to put you back in your place so you can cry to your mama again? Haha!"
"You! Wu Yang! You bastard! I wasn't prepared last time! And besides, it's been a year! How could you, who couldn't even get out of bed, dare mock me!?" Xu Chenglong growled in anger, his face twisting into a vicious expression. His eyes glinted with hatred, clearly wanting to tear the young man in front of him apart.
