Chapter 816: Dual Cultivation Technique (Part 5)

"No, if you don’t want them, I don’t either." He wasn’t about to risk losing everything over something so trivial.

Amalia snorted.

As if he’d dare.

She continued flipping through the remaining technique, only to discover that Kenny Lin seemed to have an unhealthy obsession with positions in dual cultivation techniques.

Apart from a few normal ones, most of the techniques were filled with bizarre and inappropriate content, which she immediately set aside.

Every time Amalia discarded a technique, Kenny Lin felt a pang in his heart.

These were the ones he had carefully chosen.

Ironically, the few that Amalia kept were the ones he found to be merely "passable."

If it weren’t for his fear that she might reject all the technique, leaving him with nothing, he wouldn’t have included those more standard techniques in the first place.

As it turned out, that precaution was necessary.

Not a single one of Kenny Lin’s favored techniques had made the cut.

"Return all these immediately," Amalia ordered, pointing to the pile of over thirty dual cultivation techniques she had rejected.

Only three remained.

Those three were relatively normal: two high-level dual cultivation techniques and one top-tier technique.

The two high-level techniques had some visible wear, indicating that other people had read them before.

However, the top-tier one seemed almost untouched, as if no one had dared to look at it.

Kenny Lin, unwilling to give up, tried again, "Are you sure you don’t want to take another look? There are some techniques you haven’t even checked. Maybe one of them would suit you."

"I don’t need to look to know they’re not suitable," Amalia replied without lifting her head.

"I spent a long time picking these out," Kenny Lin muttered under his breath.

"Really?" Amalia glanced at him, "It seems to me you spent the most time picking out these three ’normal’ ones."

He seemed to think every technique with bizarre positions was great, but when it came to the ones with more standard techniques, he hesitated with each one, looking like he was making a huge compromise.

Seeing her firm expression, Kenny Lin knew there was no convincing her, "What about the three you kept?"

The positions in all three were the same—nothing special.

He didn’t really care which one she picked.

When he initially chose them, he had only skimmed through the content without studying them in detail.

"These two high-level techniques are pretty standard. This top-tier one, though, is a bit odd," Amalia said, rubbing her chin in thought.

"What do you mean by ’odd’?" Kenny Lin’s eyes lit up, thinking he might have missed some exciting, unconventional positions.

Noticing the excitement in his voice, Amalia shot him a cold look.

She knew exactly what he was thinking.

If he was hoping for strange positions, he could keep dreaming.

"This top-tier technique looks like it should yield the best results, but for some reason, very few people seem to practice it. However..."

Amalia suddenly brushed her hand over a spot on the page.

"However, what?" Now that Kenny Lin realized there were no strange positions involved, his interest began to wane.

"This top-tier technique seems to be a copy, not the original," Amalia said.

"Who cares if it’s a copy? As long as we can practice it, it’ll do. Let’s go with this one—the ’top-tier’ label will be more impressive," Kenny Lin said, indifferent.

If he had to choose from the three techniques he liked the least, anyone would be fine, since the positions were all the same to him.

Amalia could easily tell what was bothering him.

She regretted letting him go off to find dual cultivation techniques—it nearly escalated into a disaster.

Though she hadn’t planned to keep their relationship a secret, she definitely didn’t want it to become a widely known topic.

"So, which one are you going to choose?" Kenny Lin asked, "Once you make a decision, I’ll return the others."

"I’ll take another look," Amalia replied, sitting down with the three techniques in hand.

Ignoring the images, she flipped straight to the text descriptions.

She had to admit, compared to the other two, that this top-tier dual cultivation technique deserved its ranking.

But still, something about it felt off.

No matter how closely she examined it, she couldn’t pinpoint the issue.

Seeing her frown, Kenny Lin added, "I say just go with this one. Since the Green Lotus Sect made it available, there shouldn’t be any problems. Whatever feels off to you is probably just because it’s strange pose."

"... That sounds oddly reasonable," Amalia said with a hint of sarcasm, but she begrudgingly agreed, "Alright, let’s go with this one."

"I always make perfect sense," Kenny Lin protested.

"Do you really think a man’s logic, when driven by lust, makes any sense at all? That’s pure nonsense."

Amalia scoffed.

"Alright, so it’s settled on this one, right?" Kenny Lin gave up arguing.

At this point, the outcome was decided, and none of the chosen techniques matched his desired positions.

Amalia made her decision and stopped overthinking it.

She tossed the other two high-level techniques to him, "It’s settled—this one will do. Also, make sure not too many people see it."

Kenny Lin casually nodded his head, though his reluctance was clear as he gathered up the techniques and prepared to return them back to the Hidden Art Pavilion.

The main peak was only about a dozen miles away, so he arrived quickly.

From a distance, Kenny Lin could already see the main peak shrouded in mist.

Too lazy to walk, he flew straight to the entrance of the Hidden Art Pavilion.

The disciples on the main peak, upon recognizing him, didn’t dare say anything.

The one who is guarding the pavilion was still Elder Pan, who smiled warmly when he saw Kenny Lin return.

"Why is Junior Master Uncle Lin coming back so soon? Do you want to return the technique? Don’t you want to keep them for a few more days?"

Renshu Chang had already informed him earlier, so Elder Pan had expected Kenny Lin to return them by tomorrow.
