Fairy, Don't Be Afraid, I Am Blind

Chapter 150 - 118: Senior Sister Is Angry

"Where did this boy get his strength from..." the Third Elder mumbled quietly, glancing at the Fifth Elder on one side, "He’s already exhausted, and your Red Rainbow Peak still wants to challenge again tomorrow?"

The Fifth Elder did not respond and turned to leave.

"Aren’t you afraid others will say you’re winning without honor?" The Third Elder frowned.

"Everyone thinks Red Rainbow Peak will certainly act. If I don’t, won’t others think that Red Rainbow Peak is afraid?" The Fifth Elder clasped his hands behind his back, turning his back on the Third Elder. "Rest assured, Third Elder, the spar will be fair."

"Is it so important to determine superiority among Sword Cultivators?"

"Precisely because we are Sword Cultivators, we must determine superiority."

As soon as the Fifth Elder finished speaking, he had already flown out of the sea of clouds with his disciples.

...

"Senior Sister?"

You Su was gently placed on his bed, softly calling out to Fairy Wangshu who stood silently beside him.

The entire flight, including being carried up the mountain by Fairy Wangshu, she maintained an unusual silence. You Su had called her many times, but Fairy Wangshu had never responded, which was unlike the senior sister who always answered questions and fulfilled requests.

This time, she still did not respond.

But she did not leave either, and an awkward silence filled You Su’s room.

You Su couldn’t help but feel uneasy, uncertain about what had turned his senior sister into this. He tried to open his eyes, but perhaps due to excessive exhaustion, it was in vain. Even though he couldn’t see, his senior sister’s mood was conveyed through the flow of her surrounding Profound Qi.

Normally, his senior sister’s surrounding Profound Qi flowed smoothly and naturally, those in heaven and earth happy to enter her mind sea. But now, they seemed to fear and resist something, tangled and chaotic, as if warning You Su’s Divine Sense:

"Don’t provoke her, she’s very unhappy now!"

You Su lay on the bed thinking carefully about what made his senior sister unhappy?

Was it that "impartial" Miss Lu? She had denied his senior sister’s intention to protect her junior brother, misjudged her pure actions as interference, branding her the "villain" who ruined her junior brother’s efforts, causing self-blame and displeasure.

You Su thought this was the most likely reason.

"Senior Sister, didn’t I ultimately win? Please don’t take Miss Lu’s words to heart. Winning or losing doesn’t matter. Instead, I’m truly grateful that you care so much about your junior brother. Honestly, I’m flattered."

"What does ’flattered’ mean?" His senior sister finally spoke, but her voice was cooler than before.

"It means feeling both happy and uneasy due to receiving care." You Su gently explained, realizing his senior sister’s cultural knowledge seemed limited.

"Why are you uneasy?"

"I’m uneasy... about not knowing how to repay you."

"Is that really what you think?" Fairy Wangshu’s tone softened.

"Of course!" You Su said decisively.

Fairy Wangshu’s blue eyes focused deeply on You Su, then she slightly turned away, her surrounding Profound Qi becoming even more chaotic!

You Su noticed this subtle change, his heart sinking halfway. In his eyes, his senior sister had always been as simple as crystal, a straightforward girl. Why was she getting more upset as he tried to console her?

Feeling anxious and due to depleted Profound Qi, You Su started coughing severely.

Fairy Wangshu immediately lost her aloof demeanor, quickly approaching to place her hand on You Su’s abdomen, continuously infusing her Profound Qi into him.

Although one cannot use another’s Profound Qi, it can alleviate immediate needs, providing relief to those meridians long accustomed to the presence of Profound Qi.

You Su felt his senior sister’s actions, his heart warming slightly, though in his Divine Sense, the girl’s hand was on him, her head turned away, still appearing angry.

A thought flickered in You Su’s mind, suddenly pondering why if Miss Lu made his senior sister angry, she retreated several steps when he stood before her?

It was clear that he himself had angered his senior sister.

Despite thinking it over, You Su couldn’t figure out what he had done wrong to upset his senior sister, so he decided to stop dwelling and asked directly:

"Senior Sister, I’m sorry, your junior brother is foolish and doesn’t know what he did to upset you?"

Fairy Wangshu turned her head, looking at You Su’s sincere face, then slightly lowered her head, muttering:

"If you think I’m good to you, why were you so harsh to me?"

?

You Su reviewed all his conversations with his senior sister, and the only instance that could be considered "harsh" was probably today’s in the arena – "Don’t come!"

So it was because of that...

"It’s my first time having a junior brother, and no one has taught me how to be a senior sister... If I do something wrong, please teach me, but don’t be that harsh, okay..."

"I... I don’t want my junior brother to be harsh."

Reflecting honestly, You Su had no intention of being harsh or blaming his senior sister. It was merely in the urgency of the moment during the battle; focused on winning, he wanted no one to interrupt. In the heat of the moment, he had no time to sense who came to rescue him; he merely shouted out in anger.

He never imagined his senior sister was so sensitive, swayed by her junior brother’s unintentional remark, wallowing in self-blame for such a long time.

You Su couldn’t speak for a moment. He didn’t want to define his senior sister’s sensitivity as pretention or naivety, simply because either way, it was her showing how much she valued his opinion.

He once again felt grateful for his luck, enjoying the sincere affections of this solitary girl on the mountaintop. He resolved to protect his senior sister’s genuine heart.

"Senior Sister, I’m sorry, I didn’t mean it. It was urgent at the time, and I wasn’t deliberately shouting at you." You Su’s voice was like warm spring waters, "I swear, your junior brother will never be harsh to you again."

"Okay!" Fairy Wangshu nodded emphatically, "Junior brother is really good."

And as her mood brightened, her surrounding Profound Qi returned to normal, as if rejoicing in her change.

You Su only felt her hand on his abdomen was cold, yet the Profound Qi flowing in was warm and gentle, delighting him.

"Senior Sister is truly good."

You Su smiled helplessly, marveling at his senior sister’s simplicity. Despite pouting her displeasure all the way, a simple apology from him cheered her up instantly, as if she wasn’t really upset, just pretending to be to tell him – I’m upset, hurry and cheer me up.

His lovely senior sister, his compassionate Master, and his dear, yet to return junior sister; You Su had firmly decided, he absolutely wanted to stay on this Lotus Peak.

Reflecting on this resolve, he couldn’t help feeling some worry; today’s sparring far exceeded the usual standards, though it led to an astounding battle victory, it pushed his body to the brink of exhaustion.

Though the robust body provided by Taisui had no external injuries, the accumulation of Profound Qi required a process, and if challenged again tomorrow, how was he going to cope?
