Chapter 539: Their Physiques Are Really Terrible
The next day, Xiang Shaoyun met Tang Longfei and made an appointment to head for the academy three days later. He then returned to the Skeleton Gang. There, he found that Devouring Ghost had returned. He brought two masked experts with him.
Xiang Shaoyun couldn\'t even sense the strength of the two experts. Therefore, he was sure they were no weaker than the Sovereign Realm. Since they could follow Devouring Ghost around, it was clear they were Green Ghost\'s devoted subordinates.
"Young master, I\'ve already drawn a rough plan on how to handle the Skeleton Gang. Let me tell you my plans," said Devouring Ghost. He then went straight to the topic.
His plan was simple—to merge the Skeleton Gang into the Ghostface Sect. The Ghostface Sect would manage everything the gang had. As for the gang members, the sect would train them before sending those with potential out for tempering. From an outsider\'s perspective, the gang had been swallowed by the sect.
But in reality, the sect would not swallow anything belonging to Xiang Shaoyun. When he returned, everything would fall under his control again. Even the trained gang members would be under his command.
If it were anyone else who had proposed this plan, Xiang Shaoyun would reject it without hesitation. But since this was Devouring Ghost\'s plan, he had full confidence Devouring Ghost would handle it properly in a way that he wouldn\'t suffer any losses. In any case, Devouring Ghost was even hinting that even the Ghostface Sect could fall under his command if he wished.
An outsider would find it hard to believe everything Devouring Ghost was saying. But Xiang Shaoyun believed him wholeheartedly. He had personally witnessed the obedience Green Ghost showed Devouring Ghost. He also sincerely believed that even if the world betrayed him, Devouring Ghost would not. He had an odd sensation that, in a previous life, Devouring Ghost was a brother he could trust with his life and someone worth his absolute confidence.
After listening to the plan, Xiang Shaoyun agreed with zero hesitation. After all, the territories of the Skeleton Gang and the Noxious Blood Gang were nothing for the present Xiang Shaoyun, even though outsiders considered their territories a delicious cake. Xiang Shaoyun knew that so long as he kept growing, he could get anything he wanted in the future with his own strength.
Xiang Shaoyun then introduced the Han Clan sisters to Devouring Ghost. He did that so Devouring Ghost could find a way to fix the flaws in their physiques.
"Devouring Ghost, help me take a look at their talent for cultivation," Xiang Shaoyun went straight to the point.
"Yes, young master," Devouring Ghost answered. He then said to the sisters, "Come, let me read your pulse."
The sisters appeared confused, but they still listened and walked over. They had already learned from Han Pojun the proper method of conducting themselves after becoming Xiang Shaoyun\'s followers.
They had to know their place and obey his words, or they would have no chance of entering the Dragon Phoenix Academy. Devouring Ghost first read Han Qianwei\'s pulse, and an odd look appeared on his face. He then did the same to Han Xuewei.
"Alright. Got it," said Devouring Ghost before signaling Xiang Shaoyun with his eyes.
Xiang Shaoyun understood tacitly and said to the sisters, "You may leave first."
The sisters nodded and left the hall.
"Big sister, who is that person? Young Master Xiang seems to trust him a lot?" Han Xuewei asked through voice transmission.
"He\'s obviously a hidden expert behind the young master. When I faced him, the sensation he exuded was even scarier than when I face uncle," said Han Qianwei. "But don\'t worry. Young Master Xiang only wanted to know our cultivation talent. We both have the Yin Frost Physique, so our talent is decent. Everything will be fine."
"That might be the case, but the ancestor mentioned that we have some flaws to our physiques. What we have aren\'t perfect physiques," said Han Xuewei as she pouted.
"You can\'t be thinking that Young Master Xiang will abandon us, right?" Han Qianwei asked.
Han Xuewei shook her head, but then she quickly nodded. "He is a man of his word, so he won\'t easily renege. I believe he is just trying to evaluate how useful we can be in the future."
"Exactly. Uncle said that we should work hard and catch up to him as soon as possible. Otherwise, we won\'t be qualified to be his followers, let alone his women," said Han Qianwei.
"Big sister, you finally admitted it! I thought you didn\'t want to be his woman?" Han Xuewei teased.
"So what? Don\'t tell me you\'re not thinking the same?" Han Qianwei admitted frankly.
"I, y-yes..." Han Xuewei lowered her head and answered with a blush before running away.
...
In the main hall, Xiang Shaoyun asked Devouring Ghost, "So?"
"Young master, are you sure you\'re bringing them to the Dragon Phoenix Academy?" Devouring Ghost asked.
Xiang Shaoyun nodded. "Yes."
"If possible, abandon that thought. Their physiques are terrible!" Devouring Ghost sighed.
"Is it that bad? I heard they each have a Yin Frost Physique. Although their versions are flawed, it can\'t be that bad, right?" Xiang Shaoyun was astonished.
"What do they know? What they have isn\'t even the Yin Frost Physique. They merely have some innate frost in their body. This tiny talent can at most help them reach the Dragon Ascension Realm. It\'s almost impossible for them to reach a higher height," said Devouring Ghost with disdain.
"What? That bad?" Xiang Shaoyun blanked out.
"There\'s more to it. They won\'t live past 50," said Devouring Ghost.
Xiang Shaoyun staggered. He had assumed that their talents wouldn\'t be that bad, so this was quite a surprise.
"What\'s up with that? Don\'t they look fine right now?" Xiang Shaoyun asked nervously. If they were really that bad, he might really have to give up on them. It wasn\'t that he looked down on them, but he needed followers with potential instead of followers that would die young. Also, he wouldn\'t know how to face Han Pojun after they died. In this scenario, bringing them with him would be an arduous and thankless task.
"Their innate frost energy should be something accompanying them since birth. You can also call it fetal frost energy. If they possess a full Yin Frost Physique, they would be fine. Moreover, they would have excellent talent in cultivation. Unfortunately, they each only have a strand of fetal frost energy in them. At birth, they were mere babies that couldn\'t control the fetal frost energy, resulting in the energy damaging their natural lifespan. They might look fine, but the stronger they become, the stronger a backlash they will suffer from their fetal frost energy, ultimately leading to death," said Devouring Ghost gravely.
