While Others Cultivate, I LVL UP In My Sleep Using The Dungeon System

"Thanks for the offer, but I am just your average cultivator and you are overestimating my medical knowledge. I just studied a few books and dabbled in healing others a few times, but I am not worthy of such a position," he answered.

However, despite his words being very humble, it was clear he wasn't interested in the position in the slightest.

The Branch Master would benefit and be rewarded for recruiting such a capable individual, but he truly was looking out for Adam, which he appreciated.

If he knew that Adam had a blue amulet, then he would probably faint in shock.

And it wasn't only because he had such a high-grade amulet that would give him incredible influence within the Marital Arts Union, and essentially the entire country.

But also because it meant that he must have met the one with the golden amulet, as that was the only way he could be issued such a high grade amulet!

The Branch Master and even Su Lan wanted to persuade him to change his mind, but Adam truly had no need for the position with the blue amulet in his inventory, so had no reason to take on board more responsibility.

Without anything else to do there, Adam turned to leave and wanted to take some time to cultivate and recover to his peak state, and also hunt in the dungeon as much as he could before the nationals began.

However, before he did, Su Lan grabbed his arm.

Adam and the Bnrach Master thought that maybe she was still trying to persuade him to rethink his decision, but what she said surprised them both.

"Would you like to go out to eat with me?" she offered in a shy and embarrassed manner. 

She had barely even spoken to males outside her family before meeting Adam, so just asking him to go out to eat was hard enough. 

Seeing how much she struggled to merely ask him out to a meal, Adam couldn't help but smile as he compared it to the fearless swordswoman that he fought against. 

However, he didn't want her to get the wrong idea, so he answered: "I already told you, I'm not interested in you th..."

But before he could finish, she jumped, "I know. I just wanted to speak to you about something."

Watching their exchange, the Branch Master didn't know how to react and he knew that many around the country would be enraged to see how vulnerable the cold beauty was with this unknown figure. 

"Alright, I am quite hungry anyway. Do you also have a place I can stay at until the tournament?" he asked nonchalantly. 

The Branch Master wanted to offer Adam somewhere to stay at his Martial Arts Union Branch so that he could observe him for longer and try to get him to accept the offer, but before he could, Su Lan had eagerly nodded her head. 

Looking at her weirdly, unable to suppress his thoughts, the Branch Master was shocked to see that even he could cause her composure to waver slightly. 

Clearing her throat and calming down, realising how much she was letting her emotions show, she clarified, "It's not what you think. If he stays at my home, I will get to train with him or at least observe how he trains so I can learn from him."

Adam was just amused by the two before him who were meant to be capable figures, and yet one was getting flustered and the other was acting so casually and making it clear that he was very dirty minded.

"Lead the way then Su Lan. I have already checked up on your body and everything is fine, so let's go get a meal," he said.

"And you're paying right?" he added. 

She smiled slightly and nodded as they were escorted out by the Branch Master who bid them farewell and said that he was eager to watch them fight in the nationals. 

He did want to observe the two incredible youths, especially Adam, who he just couldn't understand, but he knew it wasn't his place to join them and he also had a lot of duties as a Branch Master of the Martial Arts Union. 

Adam asked Su Lan what place she had in mind for them to eat, and when she answered a fancy place that is known for its grilling, the excitement was clear on his face. 

He had been craving some meat and couldn't wait to eat his filling, which he didn't bother hiding from the one that invited him and would also be paying for the meal. 

"Why don't you take off your disguise? I like your real face better," she asked after walking for a short while in silence and confirming that nobody was tracking or secretly watching them. 

"I would rather not for now. It stands out to much and some people might easily recognise me," he answered. 

Su Lan then continued asking him all sorts of questions, such as how old he was, where he came from, how is Chinese was so good and why he joined the tournament. 

She had never felt so interested in someone in her life and Adam answered her honestly, not having much to hide, but also didn't provide her all the details that she wanted. 

The dark horse and cold beauty of the region were obviously being recognised, and the fact that they were together shocked and displeased many. 

The cold beauty had never been seen before with someone else let alone a man around her age, and seeing how close she walked beside him and how comfortable they were together, one couldn't help but assume they were a couple. 

It would also explain why he stood up for her. 

Quickly rumours about them being together spread, and as the skilled, cautious and powerful cultivators that they were, hearing the whispering of people around them was inevitable. 

However Su Lan didn't seem to be against the rumours and seeing as Adam didn't seem bothered by them in the slightest, she didn't care to deny their validity.
