Fairy, Don't Be Afraid, I Am Blind

Chapter 141 - 113: Master: He’s So Fierce

The Third Elder suddenly stood up straight, collecting that slovenly demeanor, like a proper mentor, and said:

"But, you know, I think this cultivation technique is still somewhat mediocre, not quite fitting for the disciple of the Lotus Sword Venerable. How about this, give me this book and I’ll find a better Sword Nurturing Spell for you."

You Su knew the misunderstanding with the Third Elder was still unresolved, he was being duped. Moreover, the Sword Nurturing Spell also contained that spiritually rich gold paper, how could he casually hand it over to someone else, and being in the Void Realm himself, You Su didn’t believe the Third Elder could find a better one.

So he replied, "Third Elder, how could I possibly agree, besides, wasn’t it just now you said the suitable is the best, the rank is not important."

The Third Elder raised her brows slightly, not expecting the counter to come so quickly, thinking that such an idea couldn’t possibly be true anyway, she simply pouted her lips and said:

"Suit yourself then, but make sure to cultivate properly, don’t pursue the trivial and neglect the essential, nurturing the sword is just supplementary, swordsmanship is the key."

"Thank you for your guidance, Third Elder," You Su replied respectfully.

The Third Elder nodded, making a gesture as if to leave, as she passed by You Su, she brought a fragrant breeze to his face. Suddenly she turned her head and said to You Su:

"By the way, your master is looking for you, she seems very uneasy about whether you can smoothly pass the announcement. I hope you can show some spirit as a young man and not make her worried even during her retreat. Walk into the mountains, and you will naturally find her."

Is my master proactively seeking me for such a trivial matter during her retreat?

You Su furrowed his sword brows and said formally, "I’ll go right away."

"You don’t have to go right away, go now."

Upon hearing this, You Su replied "Yes" and began to move.

The Third Elder sighed inwardly, she couldn’t convince the Thirteenth Elder, only hoping this child could.

But she had no intention of directly exposing He Shutong’s injuries, You Su was blind and his cultivation was low, he certainly couldn’t see through the disguise his master put on her injuries, yet Wangshu, she didn’t dare guarantee, after all, this kid was too mystical.

She glanced at Wangshu Fairy who was longing desperately, afraid she’d follow, and said:

"Little Wangshu, you’ve listened to so many of my lessons, I should check your homework now."

Saying this, she turned back, walked toward the peach tree in the courtyard.

Wangshu Fairy, anxious like she’s protecting her junior brother, quickly shuffled her lotus steps, stood in front of the peach tree to protect it.

"Third Elder, you can’t bully Taohua anymore!"

"Why do you still call it that? I’ve taught you, this peach tree is for eating, not for looking at, its flowers are small and ugly, how does it deserve to be called ’Taohua’? Calling it ’Little Peach’ would be more appropriate."

...

He Shutong gently leaned against the jade stone flowing with luminescent grace, only the beautiful neck and head exposed above the water.

The Lotus Pool was already filled with spiritual water, and now He Shutong was using it as an external spiritual platform, the pure Profound Qi leaking from her body was contained in the water, making the mist over the heavenly pool seem like it’s transformed into tangible Profound Qi.

He Shutong sighed slightly, though she didn’t regret her choice, she was somewhat worried about the current situation. Not because she was reluctant to lose her realm, just feeling that if her cultivation were still there, she could certainly protect her two disciples better.

Thinking that You Su still had to prove to others that he was worthy of being her genuine disciple made her feel troubled, if others disagreed, would she not take You Su then? Whether he was qualified to be her disciple was for He Shutong herself to decide.

Suddenly she seemed to hear something, the body submerged in water slightly moved, the clear pool water filled her distinctly visible collarbones, so charming.

How did You Su come here? Wasn’t it told not to disturb me casually?

This kid You Su knew manners, surely wouldn’t come here without permission, surely the Third Elder was up to something...

He Shutong listened to the "Master, Master" coming to her ears, feeling delighted, she wanted to see You Su but was a bit conflicted.

She pursed her cherry lips and focused her gaze in one direction. In her sight was a pitiful blind boy, anxiously searching for his master in the mountains.

He Shutong softened her mind, it’s alright, he’s a blind child, can’t see her, nor see through her...

She then gently waved her jade hand, transforming the maze array outside the pool into a Guiding Array.

Meanwhile, the environment in You Su’s Sea of Consciousness changed.

The surrounding trees were no longer chaotic and repetitive, the spacing between them suddenly became subtle. In the dense forest, it seemed a path vaguely appeared.

You Su knew this was his master’s permission for his visit.

So he followed the path that was guided, probably walked several hundred steps. Along the way, the fragrant grass was beautiful, the fallen flowers were abundant, he finally walked out of the flower forest. In front of him in the Sea of Consciousness was a small open space, observing its structure, it was a quiet pool.

The thick Profound Qi in the air made You Su quietly marvel, if cultivating in such an environment, the speed would be hundreds of times faster than in Chuyun City.

"Why have you come?" Master’s voice appeared suddenly.

"It was the Third Elder who said, master has something to discuss with me." You Su saluted in the direction of the voice’s source.

This time, he didn’t even perceive the light mass with black spots of his master, as if there was a thick fog between the two.

"What did she say to you?"

"She said master was concerned I might not report smoothly and wanted to remind me a few things." You Su answered honestly, then realized something was off, asking, "Was the Third Elder joking with me?"

His heart tightened a bit, he could faintly feel the Third Elder’s dissatisfaction towards him, if the Third Elder purposely let him disturb his master’s retreat, what could be done?
