Chapter 174: Thank You For Your Consideration
Xu Xiang was delighted when she heard that Mu Yucheng agreed to teach her, and said, "I want to learn the martial arts you used to escape from the village of the Xiuluo tribe. Just teach me these two skills, and I will provide you with food and water. You can eat and drink as much as you want from now on."
Mu Yucheng thought about which martial art Xu Xiang was referring to, and asked, "You mean the Thousand Cloud Step movement technique?"
"Is that the name of that martial art?" She asked with interest.
He thought for a moment, looking at her and said, "Why don’t I show you first, and you can tell me if this skill is the right skill that you want to learn."
Xu Xiang nodded quickly and eagerly said, "Alright. Show me quickly."
Mu Yucheng glanced at her eager face and stood up from the stone boulder calmly. He straightened his clothes then said, "Watch carefully."
As soon as his cold but calm voice fell, he disappeared from there. Sitting on the stone boulder, Xu Xiang blinked a few times and thought: ’... What should I see? I don’t see anything, and you have already disappeared.’
When she came back to her senses, Mu Yucheng was already standing in front of her again. Looking at his calm face, his regular breathing and neat clothes, she couldn’t believe that he just disappeared and reappeared in less than ten seconds.
Unable to hide her excitement, she looked at him with admiration and asked, "How did you do it? You just disappeared from here and suddenly reappeared."
Mu Yucheng looked at Xu Xiang who was busy circling around him calmly, raised his hand and said, "I went to the mountain to pick this."
She looked at his hand, where a piece of grass was held between his fingers. Looking at the tender green grass between his fingers, she said, "You said this grass was picked from the mountain just now?"
Not knowing why she needed to reconfirm what he just said, Mu Yucheng nodded. He handed her the grass and said, "I felt a very faint life force energy coming from the mountain just now, so I went over to have a look. I found this grass growing on the side of the path leading to the mountain not far from here."
After listening to his words, she carefully inspected the grass. Half a minute later, she looked at him and said, "It seems that we should go to the mountain to have a look."
He nodded and walked towards the mountain. Before he could take more than two steps, Xu Xiang grabbed his sleeve. Mu Yucheng looked at her fingers pinching on his sleeve and said, "Man and woman should keep their distance."
She looked at him with a smile and asked, "Why don’t you show me that Thousand Cloud Step movement technique again?"
Thinking that maybe his movements were too fast for her before, he nodded and said, "Mhm."
He waited for her to let go of his sleeve, but Xu Xiang just stared at him. Tilting his head slightly in confusion, he said, "Miss Xu Xiang, you are still holding on my sleeve. I can’t show you the Thousand Cloud Step technique if you are still holding on my sleeve."
She shook her head and said, "Take me with you. This time, I want to see how you do it myself."
Mu Yucheng looked at her serious face, thought for a while, and said hesitantly: "..... All right."
Xu Xiang got her wish and said in a good mood: "Let’s go."
After a moment of hesitation, he wrapped his left arm around her waist and said, "Hold tightly."
Before she could answer, Mu Yucheng leapt up and headed towards the mountain. Xu Xiang hugged his waist tightly, realizing that maybe she would never be able to learn this Thousand Cloud Step movement technique in her life.
With her eyes tightly closed, she screamed in her heart: ’This speed is not for human beings, ah!’
After twenty seconds that felt like forever, the wind that kept hitting on her face finally disappeared and she let out a sigh of relief. As soon as her feet landed, Mu Yucheng let go of her waist.
Seeing that she was still holding onto his waist, he patiently said, "Miss Xu Xiang, you can let go now."
She opened her eyes, raised her head, and looked at the surroundings. A few seconds later, she moved her arm around his waist away and staggered back a few steps.
Mu Yucheng was taken aback by her weak appearance, and reached out to catch her. Fortunately, he caught her before she fell to the ground. He looked at her and asked, "Miss Xu Xiang, are you alright?"
Shaking her head, she felt nauseated and weakly said, "Mu Yucheng, this skill of yours is not for humans. Do you have any other skills that are not so fast?"
He helped her to stand up properly, and only let go when she recovered from her nausea. After thinking for a while, he shook his head and said, "This Thousand Cloud Step is the basic movement skill. If you think you can’t handle this speed, then you should learn only until the third level."
Hearing that this movement skill has levels, Xu Xiang looked at him and asked curiously: "So what is your current level of Thousand Cloud Step movement technique?"
He replied casually: "I have mastered this skill a long time ago. This movement technique is one of the basic martial arts that I need to master in my first year of cultivation in Tian Jian Sect."
"So the speed just now is the speed of a master level?" She asked again.
He shook his head and said, "No. I only used fifty percent of the maximum speed because I’m not sure you can handle the speed or not."
Hearing his answer, Xu Xiang looked at him without speaking. After a moment of silence, she said, "Thank you for your consideration."
