Fairy, Don't Be Afraid, I Am Blind

Chapter 176 - 130: Senior Sister’s Tough Side

"Go to the scripture hall."

You Su shouted to the floating green boat, not even needing to infuse Profound Qi or any other means. The extremely spiritual banana leaf carried him swiftly onward.

You Su sat on the green boat, riding the waves through the clouds; fortunately, the autumn sun shone bright, keeping the chill at bay.

The surface of the leaf, wide enough for two people, quietly gathered the moisture from the clouds, forming into dewdrops that were absorbed by the leaf, transforming into the power of the flying leaf.

You Su merely experienced this for a moment, and then landed at a secluded spot near the scripture hall.

Riding the Third Elder’s flying magical artifact within the Profound Sky Sect was somewhat conspicuous; wanting to quietly acquire tasks, he did not wish to attract too much attention.

He patted the leaf body of the green boat as a reward, and the green boat seemed to sense this, happily circling around You Su a few times before shrinking to the size of a normal leaf, landing in You Su’s palm.

Feeling its marvel, You Su tucked it fondly into his chest and headed towards the bustling scripture hall.

Along the way, many people greeted him; even though he had only joined for less than a month, he had already become known among the outer disciples as ’Mr. You.’

You Su remained indifferent, relying on his memory to find Mr. Liu’s room.

Mr. Liu was leisurely appreciating the white magnolia tea that You Su had ’forgotten’ here last time, sipping reluctantly and smacking his lips, savoring the endless aftertaste.

Seeing You Su suddenly appear at the door, he discreetly pushed the teacup behind his desk, fearing that You Su, though blind, might see it.

"Mr. Liu, I’ve come to receive a task." You Su bowed and spoke directly.

Mr. Liu gave You Su a startled glance, looking perplexed.

Profound Sky Sect disciples enjoy the Immortal Sect’s resources without a tuition fee, but they must periodically complete tasks issued by the Profound Sky Sect, earning the necessary contributions each year to avoid being expelled prematurely.

This method firstly allows disciples to practice what they’ve learned, and secondly provides the sect with a lot of cheap labor for its basic operations.

However, it’s rare for newly admitted disciples to rush in completing contribution quotas. Upon joining, they should familiarize themselves with the sect; moreover, You Su was a true disciple with lower quotas.

"You don’t even know the mountains of the Profound Sky Sect, yet want to take on a task?"

"I’m not one to sit idle; it’s hard for me to endure sitting and practicing on the mountain. I heard tasks can be picked up at the scripture hall, so I came to find something to do."

Mr. Liu naturally didn’t believe You Su’s words; someone might be diligent, but they wouldn’t find discomfort for themselves.

"What type of task do you want? Collecting, trading, finding someone, or something else?"

"Mr. Liu, is there a task issued by the Third Elder?"

Mr. Liu’s eyes narrowed slightly, thinking that You Su had indeed come prepared.

"You want to take on a task issued by the Third Elder?"

You Su nodded.

"Your information is quite up-to-date; even her second disciple hasn’t taken it, yet you came first." Mr. Liu stroked his beard, speaking indifferently.

Previously, tasks issued by the Third Elder were immediately taken by Ye Qingchen. Later, people criticized them as fake tasks deliberately issued by the Third Elder to conveniently allow her disciples to meet contribution quotas; hence, the Third Elder rarely issued tasks anymore.

"The Third Elder has treated me well, and I wish to offer some humble help for her."

Mr. Liu scrutinized You Su subtly; being faster than Ye Qingchen could only mean that the Third Elder had informed You Su beforehand. It was unclear how the two, with such disparate statuses, had formed a connection.

"The Third Elder rarely shows favor to male disciples; even her second disciple, descended from an Immortal Family, isn’t spared."

Actually, Mr. Liu wanted to say that even he, being an elder with one foot in the grave, was treated the same.

"The Third Elder is close to my master, that’s why she shows kindness through association." You Su understood Mr. Liu’s implications.

Mr. Liu merely smiled helplessly; as a junior elder, he had no intention of spying into what kind of bets or agreements existed between the two. He simply sighed that this young blind boy indeed had good fortune with women.

Despite only joining the sect briefly, You Su had quickly become a disciple under the unmatched beauty of the Central Continent, the Lotus Sword Venerable, and participated in a task-receiving game with the admired Third Elder. Moreover, he had a mysterious senior sister, who was widely known yet never seen, and was already wed to someone else.

Though blind, he truly made others envious.

Mr. Liu drew a sheet of rice paper from his desk, wrote You Su’s name on it, and pushed it toward him.

Tasks are divided into two types: public tasks, which are open for fair competition, and private tasks, which only the recipient can undertake.

The Third Elder had issued the latter.

Receiving the rice paper, You Su folded it and placed it into his Qiankun Bag, intending to use Divine Sense to explore the task content later when he had time.

"Thank you, Mr. Liu." You Su bowed and took his leave.

Although the task content was relatively simple, it ultimately required him to leave the sect. Watching his decisive actions, Mr. Liu initially wanted to offer some advice, but thinking that the Third Elder had specially assigned this task, he assumed provisions were already made, hence staying silent.

A sudden question arose: Did the Thirteenth Elder know that the Third Elder had given You Su an individual task?

...

By the time You Su flew to the foot of Lotus Peak and began walking up the mountain, it was noon.
