Don't be afraid, fairy, I'm blind

Chapter 220: The Story of the Master's Wife

When Ji Lingruo returned with Fairy Wangshu, You Su was chatting with Zi Yiyi in the carriage.

Even through the curtains, I could hear the women's laughter coming from inside. It seemed like the two of them must be having a great conversation.

Ji Lingruo frowned slightly, wondering when these two people became so close?
She was secretly annoyed at her own carelessness. This senior brother was the one who could provoke her own sister just by going to Yuhuan Pool. How could she be so careless and let him be alone with Sister Yiyi?

So the girl hurriedly pulled Fairy Wangshu into the sedan chair, breaking the harmonious atmosphere of the two people talking and laughing.

Seeing Ji Lingruo and others arriving, Zi Yiyi quickly restrained her smile, calmed her expression, and even sat more upright.

"Sister Yiyi, what are you guys talking about that makes you look so happy?"

Ji Lingruo's tone was curious, but her eyes were sharp, which made Zi Yiyi feel guilty for some reason. Even though they didn't talk about anything special, she felt guilty.

"Just some interesting things about cultivation."

"What's so funny? It's not often that I see Sister Yiyi smiling so happily."

Not only was it rare, but even when something particularly funny happened on the way back from the trip, she always remained calm and had never laughed so relaxedly and happily.

"It's just a very ordinary thing...it's just that the Son of God has a humorous way of speaking and tells jokes in a very funny way, so I laughed."

Zi Yiyi's expression eased a little. She couldn't possibly say that You Su was talking to her about the stupid things Ji Lingruo had done in the past, right?

It was awkward for two people to sit alone in a sedan, and the best way to ease the awkwardness was to discuss another person that both of them knew.

"Brother, your words are indeed very pleasant to hear."

Ji Lingruo praised them on the surface, but her tone was mixed, which made You Su and Zi Yiyi feel uncomfortable.

"I think so."

Fairy Wangshu with pure eyes was more supportive and nodded in agreement.

Ji Lingruo rolled her eyes prettily and was too lazy to pursue the matter further. Anyway, she quietly reminded herself in her heart to always be wary of the enemies around her.

After saying that, Ji Lingruo took out today's spoils from the Qiankun bag given to her by You Su.

What Zi Yiyi didn't expect was that Ji Lingruo even bought her share.

The girl had a keen eye and the skirts she picked were all very suitable for her style and won her heart.

She was touched. She had only taken the opportunity to save her from the evil spirit that night, but the girl had already regarded her as a friend.

In fact, even if she wasn't there, Fairy Wangshu wouldn't let Cai Ling take Ji Lingruo away. This friendship seemed like something she had picked up for nothing.

Zi Yiyi thanked the girl repeatedly, but for a moment she couldn't find anything she could give back to the girl, so she could only stammer and say:
"Thank you, Junior Sister Ji... In the future in the Exorcism Division... I will take good care of the Son of God..."

Ji Lingruo's smile froze when she heard this, and she said with a fake smile:
"Haha, then I'll have to trouble Sister Yiyi."

"I can do it too!" Fairy Wangshu also agreed.

Ji Lingruo looked around in the sedan chair and felt inexplicably helpless.

So I'm the only one here who's not from the Exorcism Bureau?
This won't do! I have to cultivate to the Water Condensation Realm as soon as possible and pass the test of the Exorcism Department!

Ji Lingruo secretly promised in her heart that she must start rewarding hard work when she returns to the sect this time and she won’t be a lazy snake anymore!

At this time, she was still so confident that she didn't think she could not endure the hardship of boring practice.

As they were talking, several people had already finished their repairs.

Filled with laughter and joy, the white horse sedan set off again, slowly driving towards the majestic sacred mountain.

……

It took just over five days from the time we set out to the time we finished investigating the case in Moye City, but it took a full seven days to get back to the peak.

Zi Yiyi said goodbye to You Su and others after entering the mountain. At this time, You Su had recovered. Standing at the foot of Lotus Peak, he took a deep breath of the unique fragrance of Lotus Peak and felt refreshed.

Along the way, we passed many impressive cities and beautiful scenery, but it was not until we got close to Lotus Peak that we realized that this was the most fascinating place.

"Let's go home." You Su said hopefully.

As he said this, he was about to climb the mountain as usual, but a sturdy figure with a dark complexion stopped him.

"Junior Brother You, it's been a long time since we last met."

It turned out to be Engineer Fang from Tumu Peak. He also greeted the two women behind You Su respectively.

"Brother Fang? I hope you are all right."

You Su is extremely sensitive to sounds and can basically remember everything he hears.

"Junior Brother You, are you taking your fellow disciples out to travel and relax? I've been waiting for you for many days but to no avail." Engineer Fang joked.

You Su did not comment: "Blindly practicing is not advisable. I wonder what Senior Brother Fang wants to talk to me about?"

Mr. Fang smiled brightly and quietly moved aside, only to find that behind his broad back, which was like an open door, was a strange cube.

The cube looks like a huge box made of clear glass. If you look closely through the azure sky, you can see four thick silver ropes hanging from the top.

"This is……"

Ji Lingruo looked at the exquisite crystal cabin with curiosity.

"Senior Brother Fang has made it?!"

Although You Su couldn't see it, he immediately guessed what the crystal cabin was by scanning its general outline with his spiritual sense.

Fang Gong showed his upper and lower rows of teeth and said cheerfully:

"That's right! Under the leadership of the Peak Master, we have already built this thing initially. We have even used the strength of the entire peak to build this ladder for Lotus Peak! Although there are some omissions from Junior Brother You's idea, at least we have realized the idea of ​​being able to go up and down the mountain freely."

Engineer Fang gestured on the crystal cabin as he spoke, "This cabin wall is made of water colored glaze produced only in Nanyangzhou. It is not only strong but also very transparent. Sitting in the ladder, you can also enjoy the beautiful scenery along the way. And this cable is made of the tendons of the snow carp from Beiaozhou. It will not break even if it bears nearly ten thousand pounds!"

Fang Gong looked eager to try, and was obviously extremely confident in this ladder. He even personally opened the door of the ladder for the three of them and said,
"Junior Brother You, why don't you take your fellow junior brothers and sisters to try it out? By the way, this project was completed under the supervision of the Third Elder, and she was full of praise for it."

Upon hearing this, You Su thought that the Third Elder was really responsible. Although she had already made an agreement with Tumu Peak, she did not allow Tumu Peak's people to do whatever they wanted in Lianhua Peak, so she led the two women into the crystal cabin.

Fang Gong took out a token and handed it to You Su. It turned out to be the controller of the cloud ladder. The cloud ladder was operated by the formation maintained by the spirit stone, and the token could control the rise and fall of the cloud ladder. Without this token, the cloud ladder could not be controlled, so security and privacy were also guaranteed.

Ji Lingruo and Wangshu were both curious about this novel object and kept looking at it and touching it from time to time.

It would have been fine since Fairy Wangshu could fly, but Ji Lingruo felt as if she was falling into the clouds when she sat on this transparent chair. She felt terrified but also very curious.

“No more hard climbing! Yay!”

Ji Lingruo kicked her feet and cheered.

You Su looked outside the cabin with a smile, and even in his blurry vision he seemed to be able to see the entire picture of Lotus Peak.

He finally confirmed his relationship with his junior sister, passed the test of the Son of God, and even Lotus Peak became more and more livable.

The days on this sacred mountain are becoming more and more promising.

……

"Why haven't you returned after being gone for so long..."

In the clear pool water, He Shutong was paddling the water surface out of boredom.

Once upon a time, a dozen days seemed to pass in a flash to her, but now she feels that the days are long.

She had been alone for the past few days, and she felt a little uncomfortable. She gently stroked her fat bunny that was half exposed above the water, as if asking herself who she was really worried about.
Wait, someone is coming?
The formation in the fairy forest was connected to her consciousness, and any movement could not escape her observation. Anyone who wanted to approach had to go through her guidance, otherwise they would not be able to leave the fairy forest.

Is it... You Su?
The two heavy arcs under her collarbone trembled unconsciously, it seemed that she already knew the answer to the question.

You Su walked very slowly, fearing to disturb his master's wife. If he found any obstacle, he would turn back without hesitation.

But his worries were obviously unnecessary, as the journey was smooth and unobstructed. Although it was a winding forest path, You Su walked on it as if it were a broad road.

Soon, he stood in front of the Lotus Pond.

After this battle, You Su's cultivation level broke through and his body was healed. He felt that his eyes were clearer in his normal state. When he brought an object very close, he could tell what it was by the rough outline he saw with his naked eyes.

Facing the pure white mist, his breathing became a little faster.

"How did you come?"

He Shutong tried his best to keep his voice calm.

"Didn't Master's Wife ask the Third Elder to leave a letter in Junior Sister's room, asking me to come and see Master's Wife as soon as I return?"

You Su spoke hesitantly, afraid that he might have said the wrong thing.

He Shutong then remembered what he had done...but that was all on the first day You Su set out.

"The Third Elder is kind-hearted."

He Shutong's reply was very ambiguous. It could be said that the Third Elder voluntarily wrote the letter for her, or it could be said that the Third Elder enthusiastically agreed to her request.

You Su smiled slightly upon hearing this, "The Third Elder is indeed a good person."

He Shutong changed the subject and asked:

"How did the assessment go?"

"Thanks to my master's wife, I passed smoothly."

You Su certainly couldn't tell his mistress that he had killed a Dongxu Master with his own hands, otherwise this female sword fairy who was "trapped in prison" would definitely be worried about him all the time.

"Not hurt?" He Shutong asked suspiciously.

As if to prove himself, You Su opened his heart and allowed He Shutong to observe him, and even smirked complacently:
"Master's Wife, do you still not believe me? I have faced Zangtu head-on, so it would be easy for me to deal with a mere ghost mite, right?"

"Perhaps you really are the Son of God."

He Shutong sighed softly and was not amused by You Su.

There was both praise and concern for You Su's future life in his tone.

If possible, she certainly wouldn't want her disciples to be in dire straits, but she still couldn't stop anything.

So is Wangshu, and so is Yousu.

"Compared to the so-called Son of God, I only know that I am a disciple of Lotus Peak."

You Su's words were very convincing and they all came from his heart.

He Shutong smiled softly:
"If you become the Son of God, many people will want to take you as their apprentice. Maybe there will be other teachers who are more suitable for you. You don't have to rely on me for support."

Upon hearing this, You Su nervously took a few steps forward:
"Does Master's wife want me to leave?"

"Of course not! Why would I think that?" He Shutong's heart tightened and he hurriedly explained.

"In that case, Master's Wife, there is no need to say such things anymore. I am blind and cannot find any good teacher. I will choose whoever comes to me first. No matter how hard it gets, I will not change my mind!"

You Su clenched his fists and spoke in a decisive tone, with a hint of anger in his voice.

He Shutong was slightly stunned and felt bitter, knowing that his unintentional words had hurt the boy's sensitive heart.

"I don't mean to drive you away, but..." He Shutong suddenly felt that any more explanations would be futile, so he said firmly, "Forget it, I will teach you wholeheartedly on behalf of your master, and you can just be at ease as my disciple of Lotus Peak."

When You Su heard this, he felt a warm current in his heart and was deeply delighted by the unintentional display of dominance by his master's wife.

"Yes!"

You Su smiled and said yes.

For a moment, the master and disciple seemed to have said everything they wanted to say, and then fell into a long silence.

The two seemed to have a wonderful tacit understanding. They clearly didn't know what to say next, but were reluctant to part ways, so they could only remain there in a slightly awkward stalemate.

It was You Su who found the topic and asked:
"Master's wife, do you still remember that you still owe me a reward?"

He Shutong frowned slightly, "What is the reward?"

"Last time I said I wanted to hear the story of Master's Wife, but I immediately passed out and nothing happened afterwards. So I want to make it up to her..."

You Su said he was daring, but in fact he was very cautious.

He Shutong remained silent for a long time. She thought the boy had forgotten about it, but she didn't expect that he still remembered it.

Does he really want to get to know me better?

He Shutong looks back on his broken life, and feels that everything got better only after he met You Su. Should he be more honest with him?

"Don't be so brave... You deserve it. When do you want to start listening?"

"If time permits, of course, everything."

There is no reason to be greedy in this kind of situation.

He Shutong bit his thin lips lightly, his chest heaving, and finally he made up his mind to peel off the layers of the onion.

I just hope that after hearing her story, the young man won't be completely disappointed in her, so that she at least has a chance of redemption...

"The lotus fairy seed is empty again, right?"

He Shutong glanced at You Su Jiran's brow and asked suddenly.

You Su knew that he could not hide this from his master's wife, so he had to nod and agree.

"Take off your clothes and come down to take a bath... There's not much I can do for you for now, otherwise I won't allow you to participate in such a dangerous operation again."

He Shutong is not a fool. The fact that all the lotus seeds are gone shows that the battles You Su experienced were beyond imagination.

No wonder he came back so late, it turned out he was waiting to recover from his injury.

Hearing this, You Su's heart beat even faster.

He didn't know why, he was a strong and courageous person to others, but when facing his master's wife, he always wanted to give up and enjoy the glory of her motherhood.

Although he knew he should refuse, his hands still honestly untied his belt.

"Then I'll trouble you, Master..."

The pool water was warm and had an enchanting fragrance, but You Su's body was still trembling slightly due to nervousness.

He Shutong pursed his lips and began his brief narration.

"When I was very young, I wasn't actually a sword cultivator. I was a book cultivator..."
