Guan Yu's excitement was enthusiastically explosive, but his mouth and heart had acted faster than his mind. The sheer promising prospect of dual cultivating with an Ascended as a mortal had driven him to speak out his willingness. That said, it didn't halt his brain from processing the implications of the mysterious woman's words.
Guan Yu blurted out, "You're an Ascended?" His expression noticeably paled as he stepped backwards a few times, his eyes glinting with traces of fear. As if to seek verification, he stared at the unsurprised facial expression of Wei Wuyin. His heart was doused in cold water and he felt a chill flow through his spine.
While not betraying his emotions through his expressions, Wei Wuyin was considerably surprised internally at the offer he was given. While he didn't understand Ascended culture very well, he did comprehend Astral Core Realm culture towards those lesser cultivators, especially amongst females.
