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

Chapter 240 Brother He's skin is so smooth...

Who is washing?

You Su spread out his spiritual sense and found that there was no figure at He Kongyue's original position.

He secretly felt amused, thinking that Brother He was really a hypocrite. Brother He's family background and upbringing destined him to be a person who was not particular about details. How could he refuse the temptation of a clear river when he was so dirty?

You Su had already realized a lot, so he just opened his eyes.

Although he could not see, compared with his eyes that were completely opaque to light before, he could now vaguely see very close objects, so his sense of light was much stronger than before.

The night pearl could illuminate most areas in the cave and was obviously extremely bright, but You Su found that when he opened his eyes, everything he could see was pitch black.

Are you taking the Night Pearl?

Night-shining pearls are beads made of a special kind of jade that can absorb light during the day to illuminate at night. The night-shining pearls in He Kongyue's hand must not be the inferior ones that only shine for a moment after being exposed to the sun for a whole day, so there is no problem of the night-shining pearls not storing enough light.

"Brother He, why are you taking a shower with the lights off? Can you see?"

You Su wanted to make fun of him, after all, he had been made fun of by the other party many times.

You Su clearly heard a loud splash of water, and He Kongyue was obviously frightened by him.

"Brother You?! Why...are you awake?"

“I didn’t sleep either.”

You Su was indeed not asleep, he was just closing his eyes to rest and savor the sword intent.

He Kongyue's entire body was buried in the water. There was no light in the cave. His eyes flickered, but he couldn't see You Su's appearance clearly.

I can't even see him clearly, he's blind...there's no way he can see me, right?
Thinking of this, he seemed to feel a little relieved, his tense body relaxed, and even his tone became much calmer:

"I thought you were asleep, so I took the night pearl away, hoping you would sleep more soundly."

The two men first encountered a fierce battle and then explored in the mountains all day, so they were indeed very tired.

You Su sighed that He Kongyue seemed to really treat him as his younger brother and took care of him everywhere.

If he is really my master's wife's biological brother, then what should I call him?
Master uncle?

You Su felt a little awkward.

He Kongyue even turned off the lights when taking a shower just to let him sleep more peacefully. You Su was naturally embarrassed to continue teasing, so he said in a serious tone:
"Brother He, I didn't mean to offend you when I said you didn't like taking baths..."

"puff……"

You Su raised his eyebrows: "Brother He, what are you laughing at?"

"I laugh at you for being too cautious."

He Kongyue turned his back to You Su and gently wiped his arms with the cool river water.

You Su pursed his lips and said hesitantly:

"I just……"

"No, buddy." He Kongyue interrupted You Su with a helpless look, "Do you deal with other friends like this? It was just a joke, how could I take it seriously?"

"Friend" is a very important title in Yousu.

You Su actually wanted to say that he didn’t have many friends, or rather, male friends.

In Izumo City, Wu Cheng probably doesn't count, and Zhou Li is just someone he's close to. He and Zhou Li may not even be familiar with each other.

In terms of Shenshan, Shiyan might be considered half a person. Although they have more interactions than others, the differences in their personalities and hobbies are too great. They are the kind of people who would sit together and chat when they meet in Shenshan.

He Kongyue might really be considered a friend. Putting aside the fact that he approached her on purpose, he was indeed a friend worth making close to. He was excellent, enthusiastic, generous, and had no airs. He also had a strong sense of justice. The two of them even killed villains together. The only shortcoming was that he liked to visit brothels, but at least he didn't play with women's emotions. He only did things that were consensual.

Because he valued this person, You Su also subconsciously applied his cautious approach to the women around him. Because he has always been more involved with women.

Now I remember that there are not so many twists and turns between men. He forced an explanation, which made him look petty.

Seeing You Su was silent, He Kongyue asked again:

"I often tease you, brother You. You won't bear a grudge against me, will you? If I have offended you, I will apologize to you first."

"No, no, Brother He, there's no need to do this." You Su quickly stopped him.

It is natural to be polite when you first meet someone, but after you really get to know each other, why should you be so cautious? This is also the process of his relationship with Ji Lingruo. From the beginning, he pretended to be a gentleman in front of his junior sister, and even said some flirtatious words to tease her in bed without really getting angry.

You Su felt deeply ashamed of this. He Kongyue already treated him as a friend with whom he could joke, but he was still trembling with fear, as if he treated the other party as an outsider.

It doesn’t matter whether you call him uncle-master or not. He is the younger brother of my master’s wife, so they are family and we shouldn’t be so distant from each other.

"That's good. I think what Brother You said makes sense. Taking an ice bath in winter is more refreshing than a hot spring. I've been busy all day, and I feel very energetic now."

He Kongyue saw You Su's embarrassment and naturally changed the subject.

Seeing that the other party could appreciate the taste of ice bath, You Su felt quite satisfied that his recommendation was accepted by his friend, and said with a smile:

"Taking a hot shower is to nourish yourself with the temperature of external objects, so just enjoy it. But taking a cold shower is different. A cold shower relies on external objects to stimulate your own essence to generate heat. Cold showers are hard to accept at first, but once you get used to it, you will find that they have a unique flavor."

"That makes sense. Even taking a bath requires constant exercise of the essence. No wonder Brother You has such an outstanding physique."

He Kongyue's answer was half praise and half joke.

But in fact, exercising his will or physical strength is not the biggest reason why You Su takes a cold shower occasionally. The real reason is that the yang energy in his body is too strong.

In the past, he had no place to vent his anger, so he had to take a cold shower to calm down. Now he has an outlet to vent his yang energy, so he takes a hot shower on Lotus Peak. After all, who would suffer when they can enjoy? He is not Shi Yan who became stronger by being abused.

"It's not as bad as Brother He said. It's just that when I was very young in my hometown, I had to rely on myself to solve the trivial matters of life. I was blind and couldn't collect much firewood, so I had to save the firewood. Baths didn't have to be hot, but meals had to be cooked. I was young at the time, but I knew how to make choices, so I developed the habit of ice baths."

You Su casually talked about the past. He felt that his life was very hard at that time, but now when he thinks back on it, he doesn't feel that it was a big deal.

But these words sounded different to He Kongyue. He was silent for a long time, and felt a little sympathetic to You Su. He was a nobleman from a famous family, so he could not understand You Su's mood at that time.

"You are blind and no one takes care of you?" he asked in disbelief.

"My master from my hometown took care of me before I was ten, but he went out to travel when I was ten and has not returned since. Since then, I have been self-reliant and have grown up healthily."

You Su was quite a bit arrogant when he said this. He did not blame his master, but it was something to be proud of that a ten-year-old blind child could take care of himself.

"Brother You is indeed strong, but your master is too irresponsible."

"That's not the case. The master left a mistress for me."

"Master's wife?!"

He Kongyue's tone was surprised, as if he had heard something unbelievable.

"I have a master's wife...what's wrong?" You Su asked curiously.

"No, nothing..." He Kongyue knew that he had lost his composure and explained, "I just didn't expect you to still call the previous master as master. Didn't you already take Master Lianjian as your master?"

"Venerable Lian Jian was very kind to me. She allowed me to have two teachers at the same time."

You Su also understood the other party's surprise. After all, how could a cultivator of the level of Master Dongxu agree to teach a disciple with others? But he couldn't explain that He Shutong was his master's wife, so he could only say half of the story.

"So that's the case... It seems you have deep feelings for your former master."

"Not bad." You Su nodded.

"What about your master's wife? Doesn't she take care of you too?"

He Kongyue seemed to be very concerned about the problem of no one taking care of You Su, and it seemed that he sympathized with this self-reliant blind man very much.

"Master's Wife...Master's Wife is too busy to take care of herself for some reasons, so why would I bother her? Besides, I can take good care of myself." You Su said softly. If it was before, he did have some resentment towards the cold Master's Wife, but now he knows that there are reasons for it, so how could he blame the gentle Master's Wife now.

"Can't take care of yourself? Even if you can't take care of yourself, how can you not even have time to boil water for your blind apprentice? It seems that the irresponsible one is not your first master, but this master's wife. You are pitiful for having to deal with her."

He Kongyue was a little angry, as if he was standing up for You Su.

"Brother He, please don't say that about my master's wife. She is very kind to me and I am very grateful to her. I am not pitiful for meeting her, but I am very lucky."

You Su's words were so sincere and heartfelt that He Kongyue was slightly stunned and even forgot that she was still in the cold pool.

"I respect your opinion, but if I were you, I would definitely not regard this person as my real master's wife. I would even only regard her as a stranger, let alone be grateful to her."

He Kongyue curled his lips and said, "In my opinion, Brother You is just too lacking in love. No matter who treats you a little bit better, whether they do it intentionally or not, you will magnify this good thing infinitely in your heart."

It wasn't quite appropriate to say this directly, but He Kongyue had no intention of making up for it.

You Su did not refute and admitted generously:
"That's true. Brother He has only been with me for a short time, but he has seen through me."

He Kongyue was somewhat speechless. "I only said this truthfully because I consider you my friend. Although it sounds a bit harsh, it is very objective. I said this to make you change. Why do you seem so proud of it?"

"I grew up like this. I can't see, so I can only exchange sincerity for sincerity. If someone is good to me, I will be ten times better to them. Because of this habit, I have gained a lot of people who truly care about me. Why can't I be proud of it?"

You Su did not quite understand He Kongyue's idea of ​​changing his attitude towards others. He brother probably felt that he was not worthy of being grateful to the sister he hated, so he reminded himself

And this is exactly how Brother He shows his care for his friend.

"Forget it. When sincerity can't be exchanged for sincerity, you just behave yourself."

Seeing that he could not persuade You Su, He Kongyue said no more.

"What about Brother He?"

"Me? Me what?"

"Brother He seems to seldom talk about your past stories."

Although the two had chatted before, it was mostly superficial and never got to know each other in depth. You Su now wanted to get to know this friend better.

"As the only son of the main branch of the He family, I have had a smooth journey. I have nothing to share."

He Kongyue wanted to just say something perfunctory, but she was afraid that You Su would be disappointed, so she pursed her lips and said:
"The only thing worth saying is that I am actually over 170 years old."

"Are the rumors true?" You Su was very surprised.

"The He family has never admitted it, but they have not denied it either. This secret method of freezing nourishment is risky and is not suitable for publicizing for others to emulate."

"Sorry..." You Su looked gloomy.

"What are you apologizing for?" He Kongyue asked curiously, "You don't really treat me as an elder who is over 170 years old, do you?"

"Of course not. It's just that you've been sealed in ice for over a hundred years, so you must hate this cold feeling. But I kept urging you to take an ice bath, which was really wrong."

"Brother You, you think I'm too delicate. Besides, I was sealed up not long after I was born, and I've been sleeping ever since. I can't even remember how I felt at that time, so it's not that taboo."

"That's good. I thought you could always feel the pain of the cold. In that case, being frozen is actually a good thing. Although you were born more than a hundred years later, you gained a stronger talent in return."

"If I could, I would rather be born decades earlier than I was."

He Kongyue's tone was serious, which was very rare.

"Why?" You Su was puzzled.

This secret method of icy nourishment is completely beneficial with no harm.

"Because if I had been born decades earlier, I would have definitely found my sister and made her kneel before my mother and admit her fault, so that she wouldn't be so angry that she would die decades later."

You Su was stunned for a long time after hearing this. Was it true that the master's mother was angered to death by the master's wife who ran away from home?
That's a tricky thing...

"But my mother died... on the day I was born. In all these years, she never even came to pay her respects. Brother You, I lied to you last time. I didn't want to know what her difficulties were, because even if I knew, I would never forgive her in my life."

He Kongyue turned around, his eyes shining firmly in the darkness, and his tone was full of unquestionable certainty.

You Su stood there in a daze, putting himself in He Kongyue's shoes and thinking about it. It was understandable that He Kongyue had such thoughts, which made him not know where to start to persuade him.

"Forget it, let's not talk about this sad woman. Don't worry, brother You, I will still find the person I need to help you find."

He Kongyue smiled, dispelling the slightly heavy atmosphere.

The sound of splashing water was heard, and He Kongyue straightened up in the water.

Even though there was no light in the cave, this body was like a night pearl, emitting a faint fluorescence, as if it was translucent white.

Of course, You Su couldn't see it.

You Su just felt that Brother He was very well-mannered. Why were his movements so gentle, as if he was afraid someone would hear them?

Just as He Kongyue's left foot stepped onto the shore, a strong cold wind suddenly blew in from the narrow crevice, making He Kongyue shiver.

"Why is the wind so strong and why doesn't it stop?"

He Kongyue couldn't help complaining, so he wanted to get up quickly and use some magic to dry his body.

But with half of her foot still in the river, she realized something was wrong. Why did this underground river become so turbulent?

Immediately afterwards, the entire cave began to shake!
wrong!

You Su stood up immediately, his nerves tense:
"There's something weird about this place!"

The huge rocks and blocks of soil on the surrounding stone walls began to fall off and hit the ground with a loud bang.

You Su's five senses were sharp, and he actually found that the ground under his feet was slightly moving. He used his spiritual sense to explore and found that the slightly narrow crack at the entrance was closing!

"Oh no! These two mountains are colliding! We're going to be sealed off!"

He Kongyue had obviously also noticed this. This cave was about a hundred meters deep. If they were really sealed in, even he, who was at the Water Condensation Realm, would have difficulty breaking out of the mountain. Because if both the front and the back were sealed, there would be no replenishment of Xuanqi. His reserves of Xuanqi at the level of Water Condensation alone were not enough to shake a hundred-meter-thick rock!
"It's the tomb of Venerable Chengying! Her tomb is opened!"

He Kongyue exclaimed, "Only those in the Cavernous Realm have the ability to move mountains!"

"Forget about chance! How are we going to get out?"

You Su had already run to the cave entrance, slashing at the stone walls on both sides of the crack with his sword. But it was in vain, as the crack at the entrance was no longer passable, not even sideways.

He Kongyue was also urgently thinking of a countermeasure. Was he just going to wait inside and send a message for help?
He was clearly the person closest to the tomb, so how could he be willing to stay here?

"Let's go by water! This underground river is accessible and wide enough. We can definitely swim out by following the waterway!"

He Kongyue yelled at You Su:

"Jump!"

But You Su was in trouble: "I can't swim that far!"

You Su is blind and lacks a sense of security, so he is always afraid of deep water, which makes him a poor swimmer. He was reluctant to save Yudie in Yuhuan Pool, and it would be difficult for him to swim in the water all the time.

"What?! Why are you always thinking about taking a bath in the river when you can't swim? You're just pretending to be cool!"

He Kongyue was furious. Before You Su could explain, he grabbed You Su's hand and put it on his shoulder, shouting:
"Hold on to my shoulders!"

You Suyiyan grabbed He Kongyue's shoulders with both hands, and only then did he realize that He Kongyue had not had time to put on his clothes.

I have to admit that the skin care products used by wealthy families are really good. Their skin is smoother than that of women...

Then he jumped into the river with He Kongyue.
