Fairy, Don't Be Afraid, I Am Blind

Chapter 169 - 127: The Rear Hall of the Third Elder

You Su remembered.

When Mr. Wang handed the reforged Mo Song Sword to him, he did not collect any extra gold, instead, he asked You Su to fulfill a request—

To defeat a cultivator who wields a sword forged by Venerable Ye Qing.

I don’t know whether Mr. Wang survived the calamity in Chuyun City; he left in such a hurry that he didn’t even have the chance to bid farewell to the elders of Chuyun City.

A swordsmith is also a lover of swords. I only hope that when Mr. Wang hears of my sword cutting down Mr. Liou, the City Lord, he won’t regret handing the Mo Song Sword over to me.

As for this agreement, You Su will certainly find an opportunity to fulfill it. He no longer thinks, as Mr. Wang suggested back then, about competing with some affluent and lucky heirs who happened to possess swords.

Now, as a disciple of the Lotus Sword Venerable, his demeanor and bearing should match the reputation. Sparring with shallow individuals is a loss of stature; if he fights, it should be with sword cultivators who are truly powerful.

Later, the two continued to chat casually as they made their way towards Bihua Peak step by step.

Passing by Bihua Residence, Shi Yan generously offered to treat You Su to a drink.

Mortal alcohol cannot intoxicate an immortal, but the pleasure of fine wine is cherished by immortals; hence the use of spiritual treasures and intricate processes to craft immortal brews. The most potent of these can intoxicate even Venerables of the Void Realm.

You Su smiled and politely refused, as he would be meeting the Third Elder soon and drinking might interfere with his plans.

It wasn’t that he expected anything to happen under the influence of alcohol, but visiting elders with a body reeking of wine is quite disrespectful.

Bihua Peak is renowned for its spirit plants and is an important production site of spirit plants for the Profound Sky Sect and Henggao Divine Mountain. Cultivating these spirit plants requires extensive scale, so Bihua Peak is the largest among the thirteen peaks of the Profound Sky Sect in terms of scale.

Every inch of land on the mountainside is covered with immortal plants and spiritual flowers, and at the foot of the mountain, there are large spirit fields making Bihua Peak resemble a giant green jade stone standing between Heaven and Earth.

Even though You Su couldn’t see it with his own eyes, he was amazed by the various fragrances permeating the air. The Profound Qi on Bihua Peak is much more concentrated than that on Lotus Peak; it truly is a treasure mountain.

Bihua Peak is free from the wind of worries, allowing unrestricted flight. Initially, it was present, but the Third Elder personally drove it away for convenience.

However, since You Su and Shi Yan’s realm was insufficient, and they lacked flying magical treasures, they naturally had to walk obediently up the mountain.

Unlike other peaks of the Profound Sky Sect which are sparsely populated, Bihua Peak has abundant trees and people. Most are outer disciples hired to care for the spirit plants across the mountain; upon completing cultivation tasks, they receive appropriate rewards from Bihua Peak.

As they walked along, many greeted Mr. Shi, who seemed quite unaccustomed to the title, as he often tried to correct them to no avail.

After ostensibly walking for a long while, Shi Yan finally led You Su to their destination, which turned out to be just halfway up Bihua Peak.

Here, halfway up the mountain, lies a massive palace named Cui Lan Palace. Around Cui Lan Palace, lush green trees abound, radiant and resplendent; as the breeze caresses, it resembles a green ocean wave, hence its name.

Standing beside it were two charming senior sisters from Bihua Peak, one in a pink skirt and the other in blue, utterly graceful and alluring. They both fixated their eyes on You Su’s cold yet delicate face, as if admiring a rare treasure, while nudging each other as they approached.

"Eighth Senior Sister, Ninth Senior Sister," Shi Yan greeted warmly.

"Hmm, hmm, Shi Yan, who is this junior brother...?" The Eighth Senior Sister in the pink skirt didn’t glance at Shi Yan, inquiring with concern.

"He is You Su, the second True Disciple of Lotus Peak," Shi Yan introduced.

Upon hearing his name, the Eighth and Ninth Senior Sisters’ eyes immediately sparkled. The two youthful maidens exchanged glances, seemingly sharing an unspoken understanding. The noticeably more shy Ninth Senior Sister lightly tapped the giggling Eighth Senior Sister, causing her laughter to grow.

"You Su greets the two senior sisters of Bihua Peak," You Su respectfully saluted.

"I’ve heard much about Junior Brother You Su’s name, and meeting now, he truly is impressive in appearance."

The Eighth Senior Sister smiled charmingly, restraining the Ninth Sister’s restless hand resting on her arm.

"Eighth Senior Sister, what about me? How do I look?" Shi Yan asked curiously.

The Eighth Senior Sister glanced at him, eyeing his muscular physique, she laughed and said, "Go ask your Sixth Senior Brother; he likes your type the most."

Shi Yan laughed heartily, "Seems like someone still appreciates my looks."

You Su raised an eyebrow, hoping that the admiration wasn’t of a certain kind, replying:

"Senior Sister overpraises me; the fairies of Bihua Peak are much more renowned than me."

This indeed is true, except for the ordinary-looking Shi Yan; among the ten true disciples of Bihua Peak, two are men, and eight are women, all possessing excellent beauty.

Among disciples, there are rumors that good looks are one of the criteria the Third Elder uses for accepting disciples. After all, the Peak Master, Third Elder, consistently ranks among the top in the Central Continent Celestial Immortal List compiled by enthusiasts. Nonetheless, this rumor was discredited after Shi Yan was taken in by the Third Elder.

Notably, despite the Lotus Sword Venerable rarely appearing, she has dominated the top of this list for many years.

"Junior Brother truly knows how to talk. Between us, who is prettier?" The Eighth Senior Sister laughed as she pointed towards the Ninth Senior Sister beside her.

Before You Su could answer this perilous question, the previously silent Ninth Senior Sister spoke first in a reproachful tone:
