Past life sage: This life a dual cultivator

"Zhan Chen, what do you know about the Soul island?", Chi Zhuyan looked towards Zhan Chen after Tao Shang left.

"It is the treasured land of the Spirit palace. Beside that, I didn't have any idea about the place", Zhan Chen replied.

"Then would you like to know some details about it?", Chi Zhuyan asked.

"Ofcourse", Zhan Chen looked towards Chi Zhuyan with a curious look on his face.

Chi Zhuyan chuckled a little after seeing the easygoing attitude of Zhan Chen. This was what he wanted, to make Zhan Chen more comfortable around him.

"Our Soul island is unlike thre treasured lands of other powers. It does not help in increasing your cultivation rather it will help in strengthening your soul.

Strengthening your soul is the only way if you want to enter the Martial ascension realm", Chi Zhuyan spoke.

"I have expected this much", Zhan Chen thought to himself. But outwardly he saw a startled expression to encourage Chi Zhuyan.

"The longer you can stay in the soul island, the more beneficial it will be for your soul. Generally, a Core condensation realm cultivator can stay in the soul island for two hours. So, it will be upto you how longer you can stay inside the soul island", Chi Zhuyan spoke.

"Uncle Zhuyan, thanks for the information. I will definitely do my best to stay inside the soul island for a longer period", Zhan Chen spoke.

"Father", suddenly an oriole like voice interrupted their conversation as a pretty little girl walked into the hall. A gentle expression immediately appeared on Chi Zhuyan 's face as soon as he saw the pretty little girl.

"Ying'er, what are you doing here?", he asked to the little beauty infront of him. The little beauty threw a curious glance towards Zhan Chen before looking towards Chi Zhuyan.

"Father, grandpa Shang said that the entrance to the Soul island is opening. So, I am planning to enter with others and cultivate there", the little beauty spoke.

"Oh, you are planning the enter the soul island?", Chi Zhuyan looked towards his daughter. The little beauty nodded her head and looked towards Chi Zhuyan with an expectant look on her face.

"I will give you permission but you must not be greedy. Earlier, you didn't control yourself and stay unconscious for seven days", Chi Zhuyan spoke.

"And another thing. You have yet to greet our guest here", Chi Zhuyan looked towards Zhan Chen.

"Hello", the little beauty greeted politely after hearing her father's reminder. There was deep curiousity on her face as she felt a familiar sensation from Zhan Chen's body.

"Zhan Chen, meet my second daughter. Her name is Chi Shuying.

Her elder sister is not present. Otherwise, I would have introduced both of them to you", Chi Zhuyan spoke.

"Miss Shuying, why don't you take a seat beside us?", Zhan Chen looked towards Chi Shuying.

Chi Shuying nodded her head shyly and took a seat beside Zhan Chen. The sensation she was feeling became more prominent after she sat beside him.

"Zhan Chen, what do you think about the appearance of the devils? Will you fight them or not if you get the opportunity?", Chi Zhuyan asked. His star like eyes gleamed a little as he looked towards Zhan Chen.

Zhan Chen knew the palace master of the Spirit palace was testing his character. He could easily fool him but Zhan Chen chose not to do that.

A genuine friendship was what he wanted with the Spirit palace. Moreover, the character and insight of the Spirit palace master was really to his liking. So, he chose to speak the truth what he felt about devils.

"Uncle Zhuyan, the question is whether they cross path with me. If they affect me or my loved ones, then I will definitely step out but for some ideal, I am not going to fight them", Zhan Chen spoke.

"I see. You are rather selfish but are not you willing to help the Northern desert continent when it is in peril?", Chi Zhuyan looked towards Zhan Chen.

"I am happy to help out but I will do that on my own volition. It will be foolish if I jump ahead just because of some idealism and others machinations", Zhan Chen replied.

"You are rather sharp", a praising look appeared on Chi Zhuyan 's eyes after he heard Zhan Chen's words.

"No one can stop the rise of Zhan clan as long as you are breathing", he further added.

"But I want to fight the devils", an aggrieved voice interrupted the serious conversation between Chi Zhuyan and Zhan Chen.

Both of the adults looked towards source of the interruption and a speechless look appeared on both of their eyes. It was because Chi Shuying was pouting with a dissatisfied look on her face.

"Miss Shuying, do you want to fight the devils?", Zhan Chen looked towards Chi Shuying with an amused look on his face.

"Of course, I am not a coward like you. Big sister has promised me that she will take me out to fight the devils", Chi Shuying spoke with serious look on her face.

Zhan Chen wanted to pinch her cheeks after seeing how adorable she was looking.

"Nonsense, who said that you can go to battle? I will ground that blockhead of a sister of yours if she do something foolish like this", Chi Zhuyan spoke. There was a frustrated look on his face as he observed the determined expression of his daughter.

"Woo!", the eyes of Chi Shuying became misty after she saw the expression on her father's face. Drops of tear came out from her eyes as she started to cry.

Chi Zhuyan finally realised what had he done. A helpless look appeared on his face as he looked towards Zhan Chen.

"Miss Shuying, I will take you to the battlefield if you want. Your father will not allow you to go out with your sister but I guess he can allow me to take you out", Zhan Chen spoke.

"Really!", Chi Shuying stopped crying and looked towards Zhan Chen with her beady eyes.

"Uncle Zhuyan, what do you say?", Zhan Chen directed the focus towards Chi Zhuyan.

Chi Zhuyan was reluctant to agree as it was also another outrageous proposition for him. But he had to nod his head after seeing the look on his youngest daughter 's eyes.

"Thank you, you are really a good person like what I have previously thought", Chi Shuying spoke. She threw an aggrieved look towards Chi Zhuyan before leaving the main hall.

"I have really did it again", Chi Zhuyan spoke as a helpless look appeared on his face. He took few moments before he could start his conversation with Zhan Chen.

"Zhan Chen, you may be wondering why she is like this?", Chi Zhuyan looked towards Zhan Chen.

"No, I have not been thinking anything rather I am amazed that she still has such a pure heart despite her age", Zhan Chen spoke.

"Oh!", finally a smiled appeared on Chi Zhuyan 's face. No matter how calm he was, a father was always worried about his children and he was not different from others in this matter.

"Ying'er has an innate body. I would have never disclosed it infront of outsiders but my instinct is telling me that I can trust you", Chi Zhuyan looked towards Zhan Chen.
