Chapter 138 - 112: Master’s Renewed Debt to You Su
You Su finally figured out the source of Mr. Liu’s and the other’s strange behavior. The books sent from the Book Mountain Pavilion are supposed to be the most suitable for newcomers, yet the one sent to him was a book with aphrodisiac powers.
He couldn’t help but smile wryly. Of all the books to choose from, the golden paper picked this one, inviting misunderstanding.
But then, he wondered, was this spiritual item really picking a book at random for him? In such a vast collection at the Book Mountain, You Su didn’t believe there wasn’t a second Sword Nurturing Spell. Yet, the golden paper chose this one. Could it truly foresee that he might need the book’s secondary effect in the future?
What a joke! You Su thought disdainfully. As a vigorous young man, he was at the peak of his "sword’s edge." Why would he need external aids?
"Zhengyang is indeed a genius of the highest order, having reached a state where even external objects can be transformed into swords."
Although You Su felt he wouldn’t need it, he sincerely admired the ingenious ideas of Zhengyang.
Mr. Liu noticed You Su’s clear and forthright demeanor, and the strange expression on his face lessened. He said:
"Indeed, your Qi is robust and pure. The Book Mountain Pavilion gifting you this book likely carries no hidden intentions. Cultivate the Sword Nurturing Spell well, and you will undoubtedly reap endless benefits. Since you already have a partner, there’s no need to view dual cultivation as something sinister, but do not give in to excess."
"I will remember." You Su bowed and replied.
"Hmm." Mr. Liu nodded approvingly, "The true disciple token by your waist has a message transmission ability. During the seven-day public announcement period, if anyone raises objections against you, I will notify you, and you’ll need to descend the mountain to address it."
"Thank you, Mr. Liu."
"Alright, you should go back. Your senior sister has been waiting for you for a while. It seems that Fairy Wangshu cares quite a bit about you, her junior brother."
Mr. Liu murmured softly and glanced towards the end of the corridor, where a pure white silhouette stood silently beside a stone pillar, gazing in their direction.
You Su was momentarily stunned and looked in the direction Mr. Liu turned his head. There, at the limits of his Divine Sense, the white light belonging to his senior sister appeared. Earlier, his Divine Sense had been focused on the stone gate, not noticing his senior sister’s presence at all.
"Senior Sister is kind-hearted and naturally wants to take extra care of a ’blind person’ like me. Mr. Liu, Mr. Zhu, I will take my leave."
Mr. Liu gave a light hum, while Mr. Zhu looked regretfully at the "True Yang Sword Nurturing Spell" that You Su put away, saying with a face full of reluctance:
"You Su, make sure to come to Ancient Moon Residence for meals often. If you can bring your senior sister along, I’ll even let you have all the Primordial Ginseng you want!"
Fairy Wangshu is the leader among the younger generation of the Profound Sky Sect, her status and strength are enough to be called the sect’s Divine Maiden. She is also extraordinarily mysterious and aloof, even for junior elders like them, Fairy Wangshu is a rare sight. If such a talked-about figure were to appear at his Ancient Moon Residence, wouldn’t he profit greatly?
You Su was already walking away briskly and looked back with a smile, replying, "Sure thing, Mr. Zhu!"
The two elders, one thin and one fat, just watched as You Su trotted toward Fairy Wangshu.
Suddenly, Mr. Liu seemed to recall something, spread open his hand, and said, "Bring out the tea."
Mr. Zhu patted his belly, giving his old friend a sideways glance, "It’s not yours, why are you so anxious? This is the return gift You Su gave me, don’t you know?"
"As an elder, have some face, will you? That tea is temporarily placed with me by You Su. He forgot to take it, so I have the obligation to keep it safe for him," Mr. Liu declared righteously.
"You sure have a way with words," Mr. Zhu waved his hand, signaling Mr. Liu to let it go.
Mr. Liu, annoyed, said, "Hey! If you don’t believe me, call You Su back and ask."
"Fine, we’ll ask! We’ll see if he meant to give it to you or to me!"
With that, Mr. Zhu turned his head to look at the departing You Su, acting as if he was about to call out, only to be stupefied by the sight before his eyes.
He rubbed his eyes and withdrew his gaze, sighing, "I really must be getting old, I’m seeing things."
"You’re not seeing things. The care Fairy Wangshu shows for her junior brother at home is... a bit too meticulous."
In the inner courtyard of the lecture hall annex, You Su was already lying horizontally in Fairy Wangshu’s arms, being carried skyward by this renowned Divine Maiden, disappearing behind the eaves amid exclamations.
...
At the top of Lotus Peak is a heavenly pool named Lotus Pool.
Surrounding the Lotus Pool is a veil of mist and clouds, yet the pool water is as clear as if nothing else exists, with only a single pure white lotus in the center of the heavenly pool. The petals of the lotus possess a faint touch of cherry pink.
The shapely Third Elder bent down, crouching by the poolside, her voluptuous form rendered shapeless by full thighs, combining the splendor of spring with the reflection of the lotus in the pool.
She reached out with a delicate hand to gently caress the water’s surface, stirring ripples. Her pretty brows furrowed as she chided:
"You’re really about to give out?"
With her body mostly submerged, Shutong, whose lotus form was prominent, said nothing, but those ripples faded to nothing the moment they neared her body.
Seeing this, the Third Elder let out a soft sigh. She knew this was spiritual water drawn from the Jade Ring Pool, the very place where Lotus Sword Venerable had broken into the Void Realm years ago. She could see it: Lotus Sword Venerable’s profound platform was now shattered, and two hundred years of accumulated robust Profound Qi was unfetteredly leaking, forcing her to soak in the Lotus Pool, relying on the power of spiritual water to temporarily contain the dissipating cultivation.
The Third Elder stood up again and took a sip of wine, lamenting:
"I sought out the method to break the Ice Heart for you to break and then rise, not to break and then break!"
Shutong then opened her eyes, gazing through the mist on the water’s surface at the Third Elder:
"This was my own choice."
The Third Elder felt frustrated yet had nowhere to vent her anger. She gently bit her lip, her eyes dimming, and sighed:
