Past life sage: This life a dual cultivator

"Zhan Chen, I have yet to ask one thing. How can you have such a monstrous killing intent when you are merely an eighteen year old young man?", Lu Tai Cang looked towards Zhan Chen after returning from the sky.

The emperor was gone but his appearance was a true headache for Lu Tai Cang. So, he decided to confront Zhan Chen as soon as he came down to the ground.

"Senior, you don't necessarily have to kill to have such a killing intent like myself. Killing intent is more about what your heart desired at the very moment", Zhan Chen spoke.

"Brat, you are uttering nonsense. What might be hidden inside your heart that you have such a terrifying killing intent?", Lu Tai Cang looked towards Zhan Chen with disbelief in his eyes.

Zhan Chen shook his head and stayed silent. Lu Tai Cang didn't know what to say anymore. So, he spoke Zhan Chen to rest and left towards his room.

'Today's incident is more troublesome for the Lu clan than I have imagined. I most repay them somehow for the support they are showing towards me', Zhan Chen thought to himself. He checked the surrounding with his soul consciousness once again before leaving towards the room where Li Yan was resting.

Kai Min, Li Shu, Lin Xintong and Sun Xiu lan were inside the room where Li Yan was resting. They turned their heads towards the door when Zhan Chen entered inside.

"Young master, what did elder Cang say?", Li Shu asked with concern in her eyes.

"Nothing serious. Where is big sis?", Zhan Chen asked in return to her.

"She is with us untill now. She has just left for her room", Sun Xiu lan added.

"Well, Li Yan seems to be soundly asleep. You girls should go and take some rest. I am going to check on big sis", Zhan Chen spoke after taking a look at Li Yan.

He left the room where Li Yan was resting and went towards Zhan Qingyue's room. "She is feeling out of the place here. I don't know what I can do to make her more comfortable", Zhan Chen thought to himself.

"Knock, knock", he wrapped his fingers on the door of Zhan Qingyue. After few moments, the door was unlocked and Zhan Qingyue came out.

"Ahh! Little Chen, what are you doing here?", she asked with little surprise in her eyes. She was not expecting Zhan Chen to visit her at this moment.

"Am I not welcome?", Zhan Chen asked her with a smile on his face.

"Little Chen, what are you saying? Come inside", Zhan Qingyue replied with a flustered look on her face.

-----------------

"Here she is", Zhan Chen murmured to himself with a smile on his face. It was early morning of the next day. Lu Mingxi had come to visit him alongwith other members of the Lu clan.

Zhan Chen stood up from his cultivation place and walked towards the main hall. Lu Tai Cang had already come out to meet with Lu Minggxi and other cultivators of the Lu clan.

"Good morning, lady Mingxi", Zhan Chen greeted her with a smile on his face. A smile appeared on Lu Mingxi's face after she heard the greetings of Zhan Chen.

"Are you alright now?", she asked with a concerned look on her face.

"There is no problem with me in the first place", Zhan Chen replied.

"But you scared me for a moment when you stood up yesterday", Lu Mingxi spoke. That chilling aura, she couldn't beleive that Zhan Chen could emit such an aura.

"Sorry for the inconveniences. Everything is alright now", Zhan Chen spoke to her with an apologetic look on his face. The Lu clan cultivators looked at Zhan Chen with strange looks on their faces.

"A person who acted so fierce turned cordial within the span of a single night. If that is not strange, then what is?", they thought inside their mind while observing Zhan Chen. The girls showed up one by one and together, they left for the ground of Grand sect competition.

Lu Tai Cang decided to stay back on request of Zhan Chen. Li Shu also stayed back along with Lin Xintong and Sun Xiu lan to look after Li Yan.

"Zhan Chen, don't be reckless today. Please talk to me before doing anything reckless", Lu Mingxi spoke while they were travelling in a flying treasure.

"Don't worry, I have no planning to give you any trouble", Zhan Chen replied. He kept talking with her while traveling to the ground of the Grand sect competition.

The place was looking more crowded when they stepped out from the flying treasure. Some gazes came towards them when they landed on the hill top but they eventually looked away after observing them a little.

There were more cultivators present on the nearby hills than the previous day. Everyone was waiting impatiently for the day of the competetion to begin.

A loud commotion went up when the cultivators spotted the flying disc from the Spirit palace. The judges stepped out from the flying disc and ordered the competetion to begin.

Young cultivators started to beeline towards the ground but Zhan Chen was not impatient. His eyes were on the crowd as he was searching for a certain person.

The sound of Spirit drums reverberated and the battle of the second day officially began. Lu Mingxi turned to look towards Zhan Chen but he was not in his place when she looked towards him.

"Where is Zhan Chen?", Lu Mingxi looked towards Kai Min and Zhan Qingyue. Both of them shook their heads as they had not any idea about where Zhan Chen had gone.

Lu Mingxi spread her soul consciousness but it was to no avail. She finally gave up with a worried look on her face.

Zhan Chen was aware of Lu Mingxi's attachment towards him. So, he decided to snuck out without informing her. His Target was a girl whose name was Shi Xuejing.

With his soul prowess, it was easy for him to look through some recent memories of Li Yan. There, he found out about the girl named Shi Xuejing who gave warning to Li Yan before she got attacked.

"Where is she?", Zhan Chen knitted his eyebrows as he couldn't find Shi Xuejing among the crowd present. It would have been an easy task if he was to use his soul consciousness but he couldn't do so in the presence of emperors.

He was feeling a headache when an idea struck his mind. He chose few cultivators around him and made them his soul slaves. He sent the appearance of Shi Xuejing into their minds and asked them to scour the nearby hills.

He himself returned to the hill top where Lu clan cultivators were present and sat beside Lu Mingxi as if nothing was happened.

"Where were you?", Lu Mingxi asked him with a displeased look on her face.

"Lady Mingxi, are you worried about me?", Zhan Chen asked her back with a smile on his face.

A blush appeared on Lu Mingxi's face after she heard Zhan Chen's words. "You are mistaken. Why would I worry about you?", she tried to refute the words of Zhan Chen.
