Chapter 79: Anyway, It’s Not the First Time
Suhua Courtyard.
A figure came rushing through the air at extreme speed, blood pouring recklessly through the sky alongside streams of light, forming a crimson river of stars overhead.
Her entire body was soaked in blood, her robes tightly clinging to her figure.
As she flew, droplets of blood dragged into long streaks behind her, forming a lingering scarlet trail.
The figure carried boundless urgency and fury. Wherever she passed, the wind chimes beneath the eaves rang sharply and wildly.
She did not even have time to properly stop her flight momentum before crashing directly into the courtyard where Cheng Hua used to practice swordsmanship within Suhua Courtyard.
Boom!
Grass clippings and dirt flew everywhere.
She staggered several steps, the hems of her robes stained with mixtures of blood and mud.
Blood still dripped continuously from her body.
Her injuries were extremely severe.
Yet she paid no attention to them at all.
Instead, she strode quickly and directly slammed open the door to the nearby dormitory room.
The sight within the room—
caused her pupils to contract sharply.
At this moment,
her eldest disciple Cheng Hua lay upon the bed.
A white cloth covered her entire body... including her delicate face that resembled a painting.
Meanwhile, her youngest disciple had bandages wrapped around her head, terrifying bloodstains seeping through them.
At this moment, the little girl lay sleeping weakly and exhausted atop Cheng Hua’s body, tears still lingering at the corners of her eyes.
“Yue Shu.”
Perfected Yue Xi walked out from within the room.
Medicinal supplies still rested in her hands.
After the great battle, this Sixth Realm Perfected cultivator’s aura was weary and weakened, while guilt and apology lingered upon her face.
Instantly—
the blue bricks beneath the feet of the woman named Yue Shu cracked apart, killing intent condensing around her without erupting.
Yet after the surge of fury, a helpless sorrow emerged from the depths of her eyes.
Her body softened as she held the curled-up little disciple upon the bed, unable to stop tears from falling.
“Master...”
Cheng Hua’s little junior sister awoke with a start.
Upon seeing her own master, joy instantly appeared upon her face.
But after seeing the countless wounds and blood covering Yue Shu’s body, panic and heartache immediately replaced it.
“Master, there’s so much blood on you...”
“It’s nothing... Does your wound hurt?”
“It doesn’t hurt anymore. Senior Sister, she...”
“This master knows... this master knows... you don’t need to say anything...”
The sorrow within Perfected Yue Shu’s eyes only deepened.
A moment later, fierce anger resurfaced as she slowly turned to look toward Perfected Yue Xi behind her.
“Don’t worry... I won’t let off a single person who injured your senior sister or harmed her.”
Perfected Yue Xi approached with healing medicine.
“How did you end up this severely injured? Quickly circulate your cultivation to heal yourself and don’t leave behind future complications.”
“It’s fine if others cannot tell, but are you still trying to deceive me as well, Yue Xi?”
“...I don’t know what you’re talking about.”
“The Five Turbid Path is certainly hateful, but those Cui Family cultivators playing such a despicable game of inviting wolves into the house, treating Canglan Mountain disciples as consumable bait... all of you are just as much a blight upon the sect.”
“......”
Perfected Yue Xi had no response.
This matter might deceive disciples of low and middle realms whose horizons and experience were insufficient.
But it could not deceive an old veteran like Yue Shu.
“Judging from the final result, things actually still—”
“The result?”
Yue Shu’s voice turned icy.
“The moment I sensed the disturbance, I rushed out immediately. Yet along the way, I was intercepted by two Sixth Realm cultivators of the Five Turbid Path. Only after fighting both of them did I manage to return. And when I came back, I saw Xiao Hua...”
“And you still dare speak to me of the result?”
Two Sixth Realm cultivators?
Perfected Yue Xi inwardly trembled.
She knew Yue Shu was exceptionally strong even among Sixth Realm cultivators, yet she had never expected her to fight two cultivators of the same realm at once...
Wait.
That matter could be set aside for now.
Had Yue Shu misunderstood something?
Yue Xi frowned.
“Although Cheng Hua’s injuries are severe, most of it comes from her Spiritual Essence being completely drained. She is not actually in mortal danger.”
Yue Shu froze.
A strand of qi shot from her fingers, lifting the white cloth aside.
Immediately, Cheng Hua’s delicate face appeared beneath it, breathing steadily.
Meanwhile, the little junior sister let out an “Ah!” and hurriedly covered Cheng Hua back up with the cloth, then began chanting “Amitabha” at the side while imitating a monk performing funeral rites.
“......”
“......”
Have I perhaps never beaten this little thing before?
No better day than today.
I’ll give her a beating tonight.
Perfected Yue Xi placed the medicine aside.
The Cui Family had indeed behaved rather shamelessly in this matter, and she did not wish to remain here any longer.
Taking advantage of Yue Shu still standing there awkwardly in shock, she lifted the curtain and quietly departed.
Moonlight filtered through the clouds like cold frost.
After swallowing a medicinal pill, Yue Shu lay down upon the reclining chair that had already been moved beside Cheng Hua’s bed.
She tiredly held the tiny little junior sister in her arms.
In the end, she still could not bring herself to hit her.
“Do you know what happened?”
The little junior sister thought for a moment.
“Senior Sister took me and ran away. Then we met some people we didn’t recognize, and for some reason they started fighting.”
“And then?”
“Then I fell asleep.”
“How useless, you little fool.”
Yue Shu knew she had fainted from injuries and dizziness, so she affectionately patted the little girl’s bottom.
“Oh right! While I was sleeping, I vaguely saw Eldest Senior Brother!”
“Who is Eldest Senior Brother?”
“I don’t know. He was very handsome, and he smelled really nice.”
“Better than this master?”
The little junior sister raised her head, her eyes utterly sincere.
“Master, stinkiness and fragrance cannot be compared together.”
Was this little brat asking for a beating?
“And then?”
“And then Eldest Senior Brother carried Senior Sister in his arms.”
“Your senior sister probably slashed him with her sword.”
“No. Senior Sister leaned against his chest and seemed to say something like ‘Anyway, it’s not the first time.’”
“?!”
Yue Shu instantly sat upright.
She stared at Cheng Hua upon the bed in complete shock.
Disciple, what exactly is going on with you? You secretly hooked up with a man behind your master’s back?
The worried master then immediately became delighted.
Canglan Mountain cultivated the Grand Void Path, not the Desireless Path. Romance and marriage were not forbidden.
Moreover, unlike others, Yue Shu had always worried that Cheng Hua’s “clear Dao Heart,” untouched by worldly experiences, would eventually become the greatest obstacle in her cultivation. She had constantly tried to make Cheng Hua experience more of worldly life.
Yet now, without her noticing—
this clueless little pig had already learned how to root around cabbages!
Good, good, good!
“Do you know what that person was called?” Yue Shu asked excitedly.
“I think his name was Fang... Chang?”
“Fang Chang? Isn’t that the Corpse Refinement Path cultivator she keeps mentioning?”
Just as she was lost in thought—
Yue Shu suddenly noticed Cheng Hua shifting slightly upon the bed.
Turning toward the sound,
she saw her eldest disciple lying there with eyes tightly shut, a faint blush spread across her face while her breathing became hurried and heated.
Beneath the brocade blanket, her smooth jade-like legs pressed tightly together as they trembled, curling inward before slowly stretching again, her toes arching taut like drawn bowstrings.
“Fang... Chang...”
“Fang... Fang Chang...”
A suppressed whimper escaped Cheng Hua’s throat, her tone softer and more delicate than Yue Shu had ever heard before.
It sounded like complaint—
yet also like coquettishness.
Like restraint—
yet also yearning.
Her body began trembling faintly as her slender waist involuntarily arched upward.
Suddenly she rolled over.
Her sideways posture perfectly outlined the curves of her slim waist and lifted hips.
Yue Shu could see Cheng Hua’s abdomen tightening violently. Every contraction caused tremors to spread across her entire body in fine, shuddering waves.
Her legs spasmed, alternately pressing together and spreading apart. After repeating several times, her body collapsed limply upon the bed as though every bone had been removed.
Yet the trembling of her waist refused to stop.
As though she were still enduring something.
Yue Shu stared in complete shock.
You’ve just reminded me... no wait!
What exactly is going on with you, disciple?!
