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

Chapter 252: The Master's Wife Calls Su'er; The Junior Sister Calls Kuai'er (5.4k)

A thin layer of mist floats over the lotus pond. The warm water vapor rises and meets the cold winter air, forming a layer of beautiful ice crystals that hang on the leaves of the surrounding fairy trees, like bright little diamonds, sparkling with crystal light.

You Su stood outside the pool. It was so quiet here that the only sound he could hear was his own breathing.

Is it always this quiet when Master's wife is alone?
Is it... a little too lonely?
He Shutong's beautiful figure was hidden behind the mist. She looked at You Su gently, as if she was checking whether the young man was injured.

"Master's wife." You Su was the first to break the silence.

"Just returned to the peak?"

"Ah."

You Su nodded, hesitated for a while and added, "I thought I would report my safety to Master's wife as soon as I got back... That's why I ventured into the forest. I hope I didn't disturb Master's wife..."

"Didn't you talk to your senior sisters first?"

Yousu shook his head.

After receiving this reply, He Shutong smiled even more and said softly:
"If I think you will disturb me, you won't get close to the Lotus Pond. So if you want to find Master's wife, just come and find her. Don't worry about these things."

The fairy forest outside moves according to He Shutong's thoughts. If she doesn't want to, even the third elder will be turned away.

"Yes."

You Su nodded slightly. Normally, he should have left after reporting that he was safe, but he hesitated, as if he was reluctant to leave.

Fortunately, He Shutong didn't seem to want the boy to leave so soon. She said softly:
"Tell me the story of your trip. You did a lot of things out there, but I know very little about them."

The latter sentence has a hint of resentment, but it is not directed at You Su, but at oneself.

You Su also felt soft-hearted after hearing this. He had no reason to refuse.

So he slowly recounted his experiences of the past few days. He was also well aware of the principle of reporting good news rather than bad news, so he weakened the thrill of the story and instead strengthened the final gain.

Of course, he never mentioned some secret things, and the name of He Kongyue was also never mentioned. After all, this was a surprise for his master's wife, and You Su didn't want to reveal that he had contacted the He family. As for He Kongyue, who had a strong presence in this story, he just roughly summarized it by saying that he had made a new friend.

"Is your new friend a man?" He Shutong asked suddenly.

You Su was stunned at first, and then felt a little embarrassed. Could it be that in the eyes of his master's wife, he was Jia Baoyu who only played with girls?

"Of course it's a man."

He Shutong smiled in surprise and asked a series of questions:

"What's his name? Is he from Xuanxiao Sect? Or another sect in Shenshan? Which family in Henggao City is he from..."

"Master's wife asked him what he was doing?"

"He is the first person you admit is your friend, so of course I have to get to know him better. I can take care of him when I see him next time."

You Su secretly found it funny and couldn't help asking himself: Am I so difficult to get along with?

The master's wife looked as if she was watching her own lonely child finally make the first friend in life. She felt very pleased, but she also wanted to hold on to that friend tightly, as if she was afraid that the friend would stop playing with her child.

"Master's wife, there is no need to do this. It's not like I can't make friends."

You Su dealt with it casually and changed the subject:
"Does Master's Wife have any friends? When I see them in the future, I can be more respectful to them so as not to embarrass Master's Wife."

You Su's disrespect towards Master Jiyuan was enough to show that this blind man was fearless when necessary.

But He Shutong couldn't answer for a long time. She seemed a little guilty and said sadly:

"I don't have many friends... maybe your master is one."

She felt guilty for a reason. Many young people's elders were able to bring blessings to their offspring through their accumulated connections, but You Su could not enjoy the convenience she should have brought him. Even if he relied on her, he could not really rely on her...

You Su blamed himself deeply when he heard this. He knew that Master's Wife had been unkind before, but he still asked this question. Wasn't he deliberately poking at Master's Wife's sore spot?

"Master's Wife and Master...are they just friends?"

You Su asked this question almost subconsciously.

"I guess so. Your master seems to be heroic, but in fact she is very arrogant. I am the only one who can have a say, and I am actually similar to her."

He Shutong smiled indifferently and remembered the carefree Guan Chujun again.

"That's it..."

You Su fell into deep thought. He had thought that his master's wife and his mistress were just ordinary senior and junior brothers and sisters, but in fact, their relationship was better than he thought, which gave rise to some obscure guilt.

"Then why did Master's Wife want to pretend to be a Taoist couple with Master?"

"If it's not a fake knot, is it a real knot?"

He Shutong asked back in confusion. Seeing You Su's hesitation, she became confused. Her dark eyebrows like distant mountains knitted slightly, and her voice became more serious:

"Didn't I tell you to ask whatever you want? So don't be shy."

"So...I asked?"

"Ah."

You Su mustered up his courage and wanted to confirm an answer:
"Master's Wife doesn't like Master?"

?

He Shutong was stunned. "Why are you asking this?"

"Ah? Nothing... Master's wife doesn't have to answer."

He Shutong keenly noticed that You Su actually lowered his head. She looked carefully and found that the boy blushed, which was extremely rare.

Although he didn't know why You Su blushed, since He Shutong had said that before, it was impossible for him not to answer:
"I have no romantic feelings towards your master, and your master feels the same way towards me."

She pursed her red lips, which were as thin as a cicada's wing, and added:

"But even if your master and I are not real Taoist partners, I am still your real master's wife. Or do you have a grudge against this false title?"

Until now, she still didn't understand why Guan Chujun had to disguise himself as a man to deceive You Su, but she had always been a person who kept her promises, and she would definitely not take the initiative to expose Guan Chujun's secret.

"No grudges! Absolutely not!"

You Su quickly proved himself.

It can be said that after hearing He Shutong's answer, You Su no longer had any grudges in his heart.

He suddenly felt an impulse in his heart, which made him bravely say what he just thought was inappropriate:

"Master's Wife actually has more than one friend, Master..."

He Shutong pondered for a moment, "Are you talking about the Third Elder?"

Perhaps the Third Elder could really be considered one, but I owed her a little too much... He Shutong thought so.

You Su gritted his teeth lightly, raised his head, and his eyes lit up slightly:
"The Third Elder is... me, me too... Of course, Senior Sister and Junior Sister can also be one."

He Shutong's eyes were like water and she smiled softly, "You are so young, how can you be counted?"

You Su refuted in a serious tone: "People who practice cultivation don't care about the age difference. There are so many friends who are close to each other. As long as the friendship is deep and the interests are the same, how can we not be friends?"

He Shutong remained silent, feeling deeply moved.

Did he hear what I just said about having no friends and want to comfort me by making friends with an old woman like me?

This child is so gentle...

"It is important to have a teacher in learning, but it is also important to have a friend. A teacher and a friend are both good teachers and good friends. It can be seen that teachers and friends can go hand in hand. What does it have to do with irrelevant things such as age? Doesn't the teacher's wife want to be friends with Su'er?"

You Su stared blankly at the woman behind the mist, his expression somewhat gloomy.

Su, Su, Suer...? !

He Shutong started stuttering in his heart before he even said anything.

She always called You Su by his full name.

He even called the fairy Wangshu, who had been raised by him since childhood, Wangshu.

Looking back on her life, she seemed to always keep a distance from others, and she had never called out an intimate name like "Su'er"...

This is not because she looks down on others, on the contrary, it is a kind of protection for others. Because of the sealing of the heart and locking of love, she is afraid of close relationships that will bring harm to others.

This kid... is actively trying to get closer to me?

He Shutong couldn't help but hesitate. She was worried that she would hurt You Su just like she had hurt her mother, her master's wife, and Venerable Yujing.

But the warm pool water around her reminded her that she was no longer the same person she used to be. Bing Xin melted because of You Su, and she no longer had to run away.

"Of course I'd like to be friends with...with Su'er."

He Shutong bit her bright red lower lip gently, and a touching blush appeared on her cheeks. In this cold winter, she actually felt that the warm pool was a little too hot.

You Su smiled, and he seemed to relax:

"Master's wife, I have made a new friend. Her name is He Shutong. Please take care of her for me."

He Shutong's smile was made by You Su's teasing, like a blooming flower, the whole world was brightened up, it was so beautiful that it was breathtaking.

"Okay. I also made a new friend, his name is You Su, when you see him next time, remember to be respectful to him."

Hearing this, You Su scratched his head with a silly smile.

The sun was warm, and He Shutong couldn't remember how long it had been since he last smiled like this with his teeth showing.

I didn't expect that there would be someone in this world who would tease her with witty remarks. In fact, she was not a cold and boring iceberg.

She felt happy from the bottom of her heart because her relationship with You Su had taken a step further. In addition to being a disciple and his wife, they were also friends who could joke with each other.

very nice……

But she didn't know yet, since You Su didn't mind whether she was his real master's wife or not, why did he ask her if she liked his master?
Does this... affect their ability to make friends?
……

The days in winter are always shorter.

When You Su came out, it was already getting dark, and Ji Lingruo and Wangshu also returned to Lotus Peak.

Wangshu was very surprised and waved his arms and shouted "Junior Brother". Ji Lingruo spat softly, and waited for Yousu to come in before pretending to be calm and saying:

"Are you willing to come back?"

You Su was in a good mood and just laughed it off.

Ji Lingruo was secretly curious and used her elbow to push You Su away:

"Why do you always look so disgusting every time you come out from Master's place?"

"How am I disgusting?"

"Just... that laugh is disgusting..."

Ji Lingruo curled the corner of her mouth in disgust.

"Because Junior is very happy, especially happy."

Fairy Wangshu looked into You Su's eyes, and You Su quickly looked away as if he was guilty of a crime.

"Master's wife praised me, so I naturally felt happy."

"Praise you? Praise you for what?" Ji Lingruo asked curiously.

With his senior sister here, You Su couldn't lie and could only tell the truth:
"Master's wife praised me for my beautiful dress."

Ji Lingruo raised her eyebrows and looked You Su up and down.

Only then did I realize that You Su's outfit was a change from his previous style of all black. Instead, it was mainly black with red, with silver-grey silk threads interspersed throughout, and embroidered with auspicious clouds and hidden dragons, making You Su look extraordinary.

Ji Lingruo nodded frequently and was very satisfied with You Su's outfit.

"Not bad, not bad, he looks like a real person..."

But remember, a woman's expression changes faster than turning the pages of a book. She immediately grabbed the soft flesh between You Su's waist and abdomen and said in a dangerous tone:
"But I don't remember this piece of clothing being included in the pack for you... Tell me! Which woman bought this for you?!"

Wangshu did not forget her junior sister's instructions. She leaned forward and sniffed around, reporting:
"Report to Junior Sister, there are two smells, one is female, and the other... should be male."

"It really has a feminine scent!" Ji Lingruo pretended to twist it.

You Su didn't expect that the two of them would cooperate with each other, and explained helplessly:

"This dress was given to me by He Kongyue, not bought by a woman."

Wangshu came closer and sniffed a few more times, then nodded and said, "Junior brother, I'm not lying. The smell of this clothing is indeed very familiar. It's definitely He Kongyue."

?

You Su raised his eyebrows, wondering if Brother He said that he had never worn this dress, then why did he seem to be so aroused... But that was fine, at least he didn't have to waste his breath on it anymore.

"Senior sister is here, how could I lie. As for that woman, she is actually Tao Yaoyao, another personal maid of Huajing Master, who is Sister Yiyi's sister. She was the one who sent Brother He and me back on this trip. Sitting in a sedan chair, it is inevitable that there is some smell." You Su continued to explain.

Ji Lingruo also let go of her hand after hearing this:

"Why are you picking up clothes that other people have worn? People who don't know would think that we can't afford them. Hurry up and change them. I'll take you shopping in Henggao City sometime. Buy as many clothes as you want."

It would be nice if Ji Ling was a miser, but being a miser doesn’t mean not spending money. It means that one will only spend money within a certain range.

She was about to become a wealthy stockings tycoon, so naturally she was willing to dress up her man.

"Yes! I want to buy one for my junior brother too!" Fairy Wangshu clenched her pink fists, looking forward to it too.

You Su looked flattered and asked in surprise, "Did the royalties for The Return of the Condor Heroes come in?"

Ji Lingruo snorted mysteriously, "You'll know when the time comes. Go to Guyue Residence, I'll treat you to a good meal and welcome you!"

After saying this, the girl walked out with a bold crab-like step, and Fairy Wangshu took the initiative to walk over and hold her arm.

You Su smelled the familiar fragrance and felt very happy, and hurried to catch up.

"Lotus Peak is still the best..."

……

The night was cold and the sky was dotted with sparse stars.

The weather has been getting colder these days. Even those who have practiced at the Lingtai realm cannot act as recklessly as before.

There was a space like a kang under the bed in Ji Lingruo's room, which was filled with several pieces of fire rainbow stones for heating. Not only was the bed warm, but the whole room was also filled with warmth.

This is a treasure sent to her by the Third Elder. It is a spiritual stone from the edge of a volcano that was traded from Dongyingzhou. It contains the fire attribute Xuanqi absorbed from the volcano. Every winter, this spiritual stone will be particularly popular in Zhongyuanzhou.

Since receiving this stone from his hometown, Ji Lingruo has never used it once. After all, it is not only difficult to buy, but also a consumable.

But today she used it, and I don't know why...

The door creaked again and was gently pushed open.

The girl spat at the mirror and said "Sure enough", then continued to comb her long black hair.

"You coaxed Senior Sister to sleep again?"

You Su sat down by himself, then picked up the teacup that Ji Lingruo had drunk from and drank it all in one gulp.

Ji Lingruo said angrily, "You are so thirsty."

You Su chuckled, "Don't mention it. Senior sister insisted that I make up for the Qingqing Grassland I owed her these days. I talked for a long time before I coaxed her to sleep."

"Do you dislike my senior sister?" The girl glanced at You Su.

"How could that be? I'm in a hurry to get to my junior sister's room."

"I didn't ask you to come." Ji Lingruo rolled her eyes prettily.

You Su tactfully took the wooden comb from the girl's hand and began to stroke the girl's half-dried hair.

Ji Lingruo recalled the moment when Fairy Wangshu's mask shattered outside Moye City. She pursed her lips and asked in a serious tone:

"Tell me the truth, what is your attitude towards Senior Sister?"

You Su paused in her hair-combing movements, "Of course it's my attitude towards Senior Sister."

"You are just telling lies. Do you like Senior Sister?"

She is not blind. She has seen the interactions between the two when they were alone. They don't seem like normal senior and junior sisters.

Although the relationship between her senior and junior brothers is not normal...

You Su didn't want to hide it, "It should be love, the kind of love between a man and a woman."

Ji Lingruo knew this would be the answer, but she was still a little angry when she heard You Su admit it.

She turned around and twisted You Su's waist as if to vent her anger.

You Su did not cry out in pain, this was what he should bear. Facing the first girl who entered his life, he only felt guilty.

"Why do you always eat the grass near your own backyard?" Ji Lingruo scolded.

"This wasn't intentional..."

You Su expressed his helplessness and could only say that his personality destined it to be easier for the "grass next door to home" to enter his heart.

Ji Lingruo asked this question not to blame You Su, but she also didn't want to make the atmosphere awkward when they met again.

The girl sighed:

"Do you know what Senior Sister looks like?"

"When I was getting close to my junior sister, I didn't know what she looked like."

Ji Lingruo shook her head: "It's different..."

"What's different?"

"nothing."

Ji Lingruo looked into You Su's eyes and suddenly felt that being blind was probably an advantage in the eyes of her senior sister.

"Senior sister is a very kind person. You can't make her sad, okay?"

The girl turned her head away again. She was actually very soft-hearted.

This is the difficulty of having grass in the backyard. The grasses all know each other and are familiar with each other, so she can't bear to shut others out.

"I won't make my junior sister sad."

You Su put down the comb and began to massage the girl's shoulders diligently.

"How dare you say that." Ji Lingruo curled her lips, "But don't expect me to help you. If you want to be unfaithful, just rely on your own ability. If I feel that I am being ignored, then I will ignore you too. If you treat me badly, then I will leave you! I will not hang myself on a tree, do you hear me!"

You Su was touched and kissed the back of the girl's head quietly. He took a deep sniff:
"I will never let my junior sister leave me."

Ji Lingruo's cheeks flushed with shyness. In fact, she had no confidence to say this. Even if You Su really ignored her, would she really be willing to leave You Su?
You Su knew very well that the girl needed a sense of security, so he put his arms around her neck from behind.

Ji Lingruo's body was tense at first, but then she slowly adapted and leaned relaxed in You Su's arms.

The Fire Rainbow Stone was still emitting heat continuously, and the two of them stayed in such passionate silence for a long time. Ji Lingruo felt that she was about to sweat from being hugged so hard, so why didn't this blind man take the next step?
What are you doing? Are you planning to spend the night together?
She felt that You Su was someone who could do such a thing. After all, he had just done something wrong and wanted to pretend to be a affectionate gentleman in front of her for one night.

But this lady not only wants you to be affectionate, but also wants you to be deep!

Otherwise, wouldn't my Fire Rainbow Stone be wasted?
Isn’t it a waste of time to wear this special little dress with a bow?

I can't take the initiative, right?
In order not to waste the early preparations, she twisted her body slightly and sat lower.

She raised her left arm slightly, began to rub it slowly, and then gently clamped it...

You Su hissed and smiled triumphantly.

My junior sister is a proud and arrogant person by nature, and she can never bring herself to bring herself to deal with matters between men and women.

He did it on purpose. You can't ask him to lick me every time.

It was a cold winter outside, but it was a warm and humid spring inside the room.
