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

Henggao City, Ye Family.

The sunlight shines through the window lattice onto an exquisite wooden bed covered with soft bedding.

A young girl in an elegant pink Liuxian dress was leaning lazily against the head of the bed, holding an ancient book in her hands.

Her hair was as smooth as a waterfall, casually tied up, with a few strands brushing against her cheeks, adding a touch of gentleness. Her eyes were focused and peaceful, as if the whole world was condensed between those pages.

The name of this book is "The Return of the Condor Heroes", the latest publication by Tianxin Bookstore.

Suddenly, the girl frowned and impatiently took a shining jade pendant from the bedside.

She connected to the mysterious Qi, and a few lines of text slowly rolled out in her sea of ​​consciousness:
"Ye Erong, what are you going to do?! Didn't I ask you to find a few sisters to support my master? What do you mean by finding a few uneducated low-level female cultivators? How can you be so perfunctory!"

Ye Erong curled her lips in displeasure and replied:
"Brother, my sisters are all busy. Who has time to go to Venerable Bihua to show their support? Almost all the female cultivators in the city are trying to get clothes at Qianhua Pavilion. It's good to find a group of people. If you are not satisfied, go find them yourself. I'm reading a book. Don't bother me."

"Reading? Do you think I don't know what kind of books you read? You read those cliché books about love affairs every day, and your brain is going to be damaged! Stop reading! Go find me a new group of people, preferably you lead them. You are a famous lady in Henggao City, take them with you to help Bihua Pavilion. Remember, you must not just look but not buy. All your expenses will be reimbursed by me!"

Ye Erong turned over and swung her legs, which were lightly covered with silk stockings, out of boredom:
"No, if you want to go, go by yourself. And if Venerable Bihua finds out that we are your shills, she won't be grateful to you, and she will feel that her self-esteem has been hurt by you. Wouldn't you lose more than you gain?"

"Can you read less of this kind of rubbish? Is that how you use the word? Then don't come. Arrange for a few more famous fairies to come instead of poor bastards who have to be picky when buying clothes!"

"I'm not going, I'm not going! I asked you to take me to find You Su but you refused to help. You even slandered him in front of my parents for no reason. Why should I help you?! Aren't you very capable? Find a way to go yourself! Don't disturb me while I'm reading! I won't reply to your messages!"

Ye Erong put down the jade pendant angrily, and buried it under the thick quilt, trying to pretend that she didn't see it.

It is unforgivable to say that the book by the author "Junior Sister is the Best in the World" is rubbish!

The first time Ye Erong came into contact with the book of this author was when she handed it over from a blushing maid. When she read it herself, she thought it was a cheesy book that sold pure sex. But after reading it out of curiosity, she found that the lingering love story in the book was what could capture the reader's soul.

This made her unable to put the book down, but she had to hide from her family because of the erotic descriptions in the book.

She often fantasized, could she also have a love story as complicated as the heroine in the book?
The girl sighed softly, and the young man in black appeared in her mind again.

If I go to Bihua Pavilion to buy something, will I have a chance to meet him... ?
……

The first day of opening of Bihua Pavilion ended dismally, with the only few pairs of stockings sold being handled by acquaintances.

“Master, I finally understand how my parents wanted their son to be a successful person, but then they found out that their child is actually a bug. Woohoo… I will definitely practice hard in the future and not let them down. Woohoo…”

Zi Xun couldn't hold back the grievance in his heart and sobbed, and several female disciples also had red eyes.

In fact, these female disciples had been smooth sailing all the way, and rarely encountered setbacks. This time, they were all somewhat unable to accept the failure of their hard work.

The third elder showed reluctance and comforted everyone again, which rekindled everyone's expectations for tomorrow.

We are unlucky today, but tomorrow we will definitely be packed with guests!
Everyone thought so and dispersed.

Ji Lingruo and Wangshu returned to the mountain, and You Su keenly noticed that something seemed wrong with their emotions.

Previously, they returned to the peak in the evening. Although they looked very tired, it could be felt that they enjoyed it.

But today, I feel a little depressed.

You Su asked tentatively, but Ji Lingruo just evaded the question casually.

It wasn't that the girl didn't want to be honest with You Su, she just felt that the surprise she had prepared for a long time had failed, and it would be a bit embarrassing to tell You Su about it.

Wangshu should have been instructed by Ji Lingruo not to say anything about the Silk Stockings Empire's failure. Although this girl with white hair and blue eyes did not reveal her true appearance, her emotions were the most unconcealable.

There was no venting of sexual desire tonight, nor any inappropriate intimacy.

You Su sensed the girls' disappointment and did not ask any further questions. He just asked them to rest early.

He respected their privacy and just said to them softly:
"Junior sister, if you have any difficulties, you can come to me. I am always here."

After returning to the room, You Su practiced for a while, and then took out the Xuan Ji Order as usual, but did not receive any new message.

Today, Brother He sent me a message a little late, which was unprecedented. I don’t know what he was busy with.

What was even more unexpected was that He Kongyue was not as clingy as usual tonight. He just said hello to You Su briefly and then left the website on the pretext that he had to study.

You Su looked at the Xuanji Order which had not vibrated for a long time and actually felt a little uncomfortable. However, since Brother He was clearly serious about studying all night, how could he disturb him? So he had to continue practicing the Zhengyang Yangjian Jue to get through this long night.

Little did he know that in the He Mansion at the foot of the sacred mountain, what was placed in front of He Kongyue was not some serious work like "The Official History of the Five Continents" or "Commentaries on the Heart Sutra", but a copy of "The New Edition of White Snake" and a copy of "The Return of the Condor Heroes".

"Junior sister is the best in the world?"

He Kongyue looked at the pen name on the book and felt a little jealous for some reason.

"I didn't expect that a blind man like him could make money by writing books... He definitely wouldn't want to take the money if I gave him it directly. I wanted to promote his books, but I didn't expect that these books have already been sold well in Zhongzhou. How much talent do you have? I don't know..."

He Kongyue shook her head slightly, and then opened the book in front of her with full of expectation and joy.

……

On the second day, the scene of the house full of guests and friends that the ladies of Bihua Peak had expected did not appear. Instead, it seemed even more lonely.

Because the friends and relatives who came to support the event on the first day out of consideration for their friendship would not be able to come again today, only a few female disciples who had completed the task of repairing the medicine field on Bihua Peak would stop by for a stroll today.

However, how could these female disciples who needed to constantly take on missions afford such flashy products as stockings? On the contrary, the Third Elder generously gave each of these people a pair of stockings for the sake of popularity.

This method did increase popularity, but all of these new customers wanted to get something for free.

The cold wind whistled through the forests and mountains. Amid the voices of gratitude from the female disciples, the beautiful female cultivators in the Bihua Pavilion felt even more desolate this winter day.

Zixun and Yutong, who were soliciting business for Bihua Pavilion in the sect, also came back. They looked livid and seemed extremely indignant.

"Master, Qianhua Pavilion's promotion is still going on today. Those who didn't get anything yesterday are lining up again to grab their clothes..."

Those who haven’t bought anything will continue to rush to buy it, and those who have bought it will naturally no longer have the desire to consume at Bihua Pavilion.

"Qianhua Pavilion did this on purpose! They never hold any promotions, but they actually did it for two consecutive days. It's obvious that they want us to have no business!"

A female disciple spoke out in anger, and the Third Elder frowned. In fact, she had expected this to happen. She just didn't expect Qianhua Pavilion to do such a drastic thing.

"Let's wait until tomorrow..."

Unfortunately, on the third day, the situation had not improved. The promotion at Qianhua Pavilion was still going on, and the situation outside the mall was even getting worse.

Several of the female disciples who had received gifts from the Bihua Pavilion actually returned the stockings, which made the girls on Bihua Peak very sad.

They got it for free, but they didn't even keep it and even wanted to return it. How much do they despise their hard work...

They also asked indirectly about the reason.

It turned out that there was a rumor in the outside world that a woman wore the stockings of Bihua Pavilion to attend the banquet. She was surrounded and laughed at by many female cultivators for a long time, and was even kicked out of the banquet. The reason was that the stockings of Bihua Pavilion were counterfeit and inferior products. How could anyone wear such things to go out?

What's worse, some people even said that the stockings made from Bihua Pavilion were made of poor quality materials and would cause leg rot if worn... Of course, such lies were self-defeating.

Later, the isolated female cultivators apologized under pressure, but the incident had a huge impact. Originally, the fact that Bihua Pavilion sold stockings was not so well-known, but now all the female cultivators in Henggao City know about this business, and the image of Bihua Pavilion stockings as inferior has been deeply rooted in people's minds.

It was only because the reputation of the Bihua Venerable was as strong as her breasts that the reputation of the Bihua Pavilion did not fall. However, there were more and more people who secretly cheated on her. More and more people did not dare to come to the Bihua Pavilion to shop, and there was even a tendency to feel ashamed.

The winter evening was a little bleak, with the dim setting sun shining on the eaves and corners of the Bihua Pavilion, making it look lifeless.

Most of the women gathered in Bihua Pavilion had gloomy faces. They had to admit that their ideas were beautiful, but the reality was very cruel.

Qianhua Pavilion has been the leader in women's clothing for hundreds of years, and despite countless competitors, it still manages to stand firm. There are many clothing stores with more capital than Bihua Pavilion, but in the end, they can only make a name for themselves in the other four continents. In Zhongyuan Continent, no one can shake Qianhua Pavilion's position in the field of women's clothing.

"Thank you for your hard work these past few days... It's all my fault."

The Third Elder's cheongsam today is still mainly red, but it doesn't look festive at all.

"That's not the case... It's clearly Qianhua Pavilion's fault! They are too petty. We are just a small clothing store in the sect, but they want to target us and ruin our reputation. It's so abominable!"

Lin Sihan held back her tears and choked up as she comforted the Third Elder.

The third elder smiled bitterly and shook his head: "Silly child, your master actually has a grudge with Venerable Qianhua. She must have seen that my Bihua Pavilion is trying to compete with her, so she targets my Bihua Pavilion everywhere." "Taking personal revenge in public, how petty!" Zi Xun was very angry.

"That's right!" The smart little Yutong echoed repeatedly.

The third elder raised the corner of her mouth. How come her disciple seemed to be scolding her as well...

"It turns out that it is too unrealistic for me to want to defeat her in her area of ​​expertise, just like she cannot defeat me in the field of spiritual plants or wine."

The third elder took out the jade wine flask she carried with her and took a sip. Before opening the shop, she was so busy that she had no time to drink. After opening the shop, she seemed to want to make up for the wine she had not drunk in the past half month in these three days.

The disciples' hearts tightened when they heard this, and they vaguely guessed what the Third Elder was going to say next.

Wangshu's pupils dimmed, and Ji Lingruo also pursed her lips, unable to believe that her beautiful dream was shattered like this.

"We have worked so hard for the past half month, but this is the result. I feel that your efforts are not worth it. In this case, we might as well do what we should do and close the Bihua Pavilion."

As soon as the words fell, the girls felt as if a huge rock had fallen from their hearts. Rather than feeling relieved after being liberated, they felt more of a loss after their fantasy was shattered.

"But it doesn't mean that our efforts are useless. At least we have learned the skill of weaving. Anyway, we are not planning to sell it in large quantities. With our skills, we can more than make our own business. In the future, we can make not only stockings but also some skirts that we like. Isn't it wonderful?"

The Third Elder comforted her softly. As a master, she also enjoyed the experience of being in solidarity with her female disciples. She felt that she had never been so close to her disciples before. The friendship between a master and disciple who had fought together and an ordinary master and disciple was naturally very different.

"That's right! We sisters no longer have to go to Qianhua Pavilion and spend a lot of money to buy clothes! We can just make whatever style we like ourselves! I don't believe that they can say that we are not good-looking!" A female disciple raised her chin and agreed loudly.

This was not an empty statement. As the third elder's female disciples, they were all extremely beautiful. Even if they were a little less beautiful than Ji Lingruo, they were still rare beauties. Moreover, to be a true disciple of Xuanxiao Sect, they were incomparable in terms of qualifications and family background. Even if they wore clothes made by themselves, no one would dare to drive them away.

"It's not that the stockings we make can't be sold, it's that they don't deserve to wear the stockings we make!"

The female disciples comforted themselves and their sisters in this way, but Lin Sihan was speechless.

She still felt unwilling to accept the outcome. She and her fellow sisters had clearly worked hard enough, and the quality of the stockings they made was good enough, so why should they have to endure such an outcome?
In fact, she was not the only one who thought so. When had these talented female cultivators who were born with a silver spoon in their mouths ever wanted to accomplish something so much? And how could they accept their failure so easily?

Doing this is just putting on a smile to retain the last bit of dignity for oneself.

"Okay, everyone, go home now. You don't have to get up early tomorrow to worry about the affairs of the Bihua Pavilion. You can all have a good sleep. From now on, the Bihua Pavilion will be your exclusive wardrobe. Looking across the Five Continents, I'm afraid there is no other female cultivator who can have such a luxurious building to store clothes."

The third elder smiled again.

"Great!"

The female disciples gradually dispersed amid such false cheers.

At the end of the mountain path, Ye Qingchen, who had just finished facing the wall at Siguo Cliff, looked at the desolate scene in front of Bihua Pavilion and sneered:
“Master, Master, without Qingchen, you would have accomplished nothing… Cooperating with my Ye family might bring you back to life…”

……

Something is wrong. A hundred things are wrong.

Why did the senior and junior sisters go straight back to their rooms after returning today without saying a word?
You Su looked at the meal he had carefully prepared and felt it was hard for him to eat it alone.

Fortunately, Ji Lingruo and Wangshu came out in response to You Su's call, but they still didn't say a word.

"Junior sister, what are you doing buying wine?"

You Su looked at the jar of wine that Ji Lingruo took out and was a little surprised.

The junior sister had secretly tasted wine when she was in Izumo City. It was spicy and smelled bad, so the girl hated wine. Why did she take the initiative to buy wine today?

"I bought some green plum wine from Bihuaju. Please drink it with me."

Ji Lingruo placed two large wine bowls in a hurry, looking as if he was going to get drunk.

Seeing this, Wangshu moved her bowl forward. Even if she didn't drink, she would never be willing to be left behind.

You Su raised his sword-like eyebrows, knowing that the situation today was quite serious. The two women must have suffered a huge blow:

"Junior sister, senior sister, what happened?"

"Oh, don't worry about it, just drink."

Ji Lingruo took a big gulp first, but it was still too difficult for the young girl to swallow it all in one gulp. She choked and her face turned red before she could swallow much.

Wangshu carefully patted Ji Lingruo's back to help her calm down, his eyes filled with some distress.

Rather than feeling distressed, You Su felt more angry.

He slammed his chopsticks on the table, making a clicking sound.

He has always been gentle to the women around him, but that doesn't mean he can't be serious:

"I know you are hiding something from me, but I never ask out of respect. I noticed that you started to encounter difficulties three days ago, and I have been telling you that you can discuss anything with me, because I think we are from the same sect, which means we are a family. We can overcome any difficulties together, instead of you hiding it from me. But you still refuse to tell me until now, do you think I am not worthy of knowing?!"

You Su's tone was a little harsh, which scared Ji Lingruo.

The girl was already feeling a little uncomfortable from being choked, and now she felt her nose was sore. She didn't want to keep these bad things in her heart anymore, if she had someone to complain to, it would only be You Su.

"Brother Wuwu, I am such a failure..."

……

"You also put in the royalties from The Return of the Condor Heroes?!"

Yousu asked in shock.

Ji Lingruo nodded with some guilt, "The Third Elder said she didn't want my money, but I thought if I invested more, she would definitely give me more dividends in the future, so I insisted on giving it to her. She doesn't need my money, and now that Bihua Pavilion is closed, she will definitely return it to me, but how can I have the nerve to take it..."

You Su held his forehead and shook his head. It turned out that his junior and senior sisters had started a business behind his back. He felt like a complete failure:

"Is the money I earn from writing books not enough for you? Why are you still going through all this?"

"It's not like that..." Wangshu seldom spoke. She was also a little afraid of such a serious You Su. The white-haired girl lowered her head and whispered, "We also want to spend money on our junior brother. We don't want our junior brother to spend money on us all the time..."

You Su was stunned when he heard this, and felt a warmth in the softest part of his heart.

I didn't expect that they had been busy all this time just for me.

This made You Su feel a little guilty, and he immediately restrained his harsh tone and said softly:

"So the mastermind behind obstructing the opening of Bihua Pavilion is Qianhua Pavilion?"

"Although there is no confirmed evidence, it is almost certain." Ji Lingruo had a sad face and suddenly pulled You Su's sleeve, "Brother, don't be impulsive! If you want to fight Qianhua Pavilion alone, eight hundred lives will not be enough for you to die!"

You Su smiled bitterly in his heart. Even if he wanted to break through the barrier for the woman he loved, he couldn't die, right?
"Do you think I am such a reckless person, Junior Sister?"

After saying that, You Su stood up. The cold wind was blowing, and he looked like a determined warrior who would never come back.

"You still say he doesn't look like him!" Ji Lingruo quickly grabbed You Su, fearing that he would do something stupid.

You Su rubbed her head and said, "I'll go find the Third Elder."

Wangshu's eyes lit up when he saw this, and he also came over and bent his legs. You Su then rubbed Wangshu's head lovingly.

"What do you want to do with the Third Elder? If the Third Elder wants to pay it back, then he can pay it back. If he doesn't want to pay it back, you can't just ask for it!"

Ji Lingruo didn't have time to care about the intimate behavior of these two people in front of her.

"I won't take it. Not only will I not take it, but I will also find a way to earn it back."

Ji Lingruo was stunned, "How do you make money?"

And You Su has already walked towards the ladder:

"Senior sister, junior sister, believe me, Bihua Pavilion will not go bankrupt. Not only that, it will become very popular!"

The two girls looked at You Su's back and exchanged glances. For some reason, they always felt an inexplicable sense of security when You Su stood in front of them.
