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

Chapter 262 Wuzhou Soft Advertisement (5k subscription request)
Today is the fourth day of Bihua Pavilion’s opening.

The winter sky is like a fresh ink painting.

Ye Qingchen was awakened from his meditation by the noise of his fellow apprentice sisters. He felt strange. These pampered women were still deeply immersed in the failure of Bihua Pavilion last night, so how come they recovered today?

Amidst all the noise, the laughter of his eighth junior sister Lin Sihan was particularly harsh. This gentle and sentimental woman was the saddest last night, so why was she laughing so heartlessly today?
There is weirdness.

Ye Qingchen put his clothes in order and flew slowly towards Cuilan Palace.

What surprised him was that these junior sisters who were supposed to have given up weaving actually started working at the looms early in the morning.

Moreover, the decadent atmosphere was changed to become a joyful one.

"Sihan, isn't Bihua Pavilion going to close? Why are you still busy here?"

"Second Senior Brother?" Lin Sihan turned around, her eyes sparkling, in stark contrast to her last night. "Who told you that we're closing down? We won't give up that easily."

"Continue? But yesterday I went to see Master and wanted to talk to her about cooperating with the Ye family, and she sternly rejected me. How come she changed her mind overnight?"

"Of course Master is reluctant to close the door." Lin Sihan turned her head away, as if she was too lazy to continue talking to Ye Qingchen.

"But isn't it a waste of time and money if it keeps running without any business?"

These days, his master and fellow disciples have all been staying in the Bihua Pavilion. He can only keep the company of that rough guy Shi Yan in the huge Bihua Peak, and he is really not used to it.

Lin Sihan didn't like what she heard. She frowned and turned back to argue:

"Brother, Bihua Pavilion isn't renting someone else's land, so why waste money? As for time, we all enjoy it, so how can it be called a waste? And how do you know there will be no business?"

After saying that, the girl turned her head again and continued to manipulate the silk thread in her hand.

Ye Qingchen's face darkened a little, and he was about to criticize Lin Sihan for being disrespectful to him, but when he remembered that the other party might tell his master, he gave up.

Just at this moment, the third sister, who had one-third of the charm of the third elder, stood up. In the absence of the eldest sister, she was the female disciple with the highest status.

"Master has issued an order. Everyone should gather at Bihua Pavilion. You Su's results have been obtained!"

"Really!" The beauties stood up immediately, their eyes full of excitement.

Ye Qingchen was surprised when he heard this name. You Su’s achievement?
How is You Su related to Bihua Pavilion?
When he came to his senses, the beauties had already walked out the door.

Ye Qingchen thought for a moment and decided to follow him to find out what was going on. Even if it meant risking being punished by his master again, he had to find out the truth.

Cuilan Palace is located halfway up the Bihua Peak, while Bihua Pavilion is located not far from the top of the mountain to facilitate customers to come and shop.

Ye Qingchen had been following the female disciples carefully. He was the only cultivator in the Feather Transformation Realm among these true disciples. It would have been easy for him to hide his aura and not be discovered, but in the eyes of the third elder in the Void Realm, he had nowhere to hide.

So when he arrived outside the Bihua Pavilion, he only dared to watch from afar.

Outside the Bihua Pavilion, the stunningly beautiful third elder was standing at the door, with the snake girl and Fairy Wangshu beside her. Next to these three beauties stood an extremely unconventional young man in black, who was You Su.

Ye Qingchen gritted his teeth in hatred, but saw that his fellow apprentice sisters rushed up to You Su as soon as they saw him, surrounding him in a circle, and laughter could be heard from time to time.

Ye Qingchen's eyes suddenly bulged with veins. Isn't this Bihua Pavilion a no-men-allowed place? How come You Su can do it but I can't? !
You Su is obviously an outsider, so why is he more like a true disciple of Bihua Peak compared to me?
Thinking of this, a trace of anger flashed in the corner of his eyes. Without any hesitation, he went straight forward to find out what was going on.

But before he had taken a few steps, he felt something restraining his feet. It turned out that the weeds on the side of the road had tied up his feet.

Ye Qingchen frowned, he knew that this was his master warning him.

"Qingchen, don't go any further."

A mature and charming voice came to his ears.

The Third Elder was in a good mood today, and there was no harshness in his words. He just reminded softly.

This gave Ye Qingchen some confidence, and he decided to ask:
"Master, why can You Su come in but I can't? Isn't You Su a man?"

The third elder turned her head slightly and looked in the direction where Ye Qingchen was hiding. She frowned slightly:

"The rule that men are not allowed to enter the Bihua Pavilion has been cancelled. You can still enter, but not now. You Su is a partner of the Bihua Pavilion, and he is here to discuss important matters. After the discussion, no one will stop you from visiting."

"He is a partner?! Master, I can join too! My Ye family has a lot of business in Henggao City. Isn't it more worthy of your cooperation than him?"

Ye Qingchen was really puzzled. Could it be that the reason why Master changed his mind overnight was because of this blind man?

Suddenly, several evergreen branches in the center of Ye Qingchen's field of vision began to grow on their own, and combined into a barrier, blocking Ye Qingchen's view of the Bihua Pavilion.

"Qingchen, I appreciate your kindness. But your Ye family can't help me, and I don't want to owe you any more favors. If you don't understand, go back and think about it slowly."

After saying this, Ye Qingchen looked at the branches separating him and his master with a deathly pale face.

He turned back sadly and went up the mountain silently, but his temples were tense from gritting his teeth.

Of course, he understood what his master meant by this sentence. From the beginning to the end, Venerable Bihua had never wanted to accept him as a disciple. If it weren't for the favor the Ye family had done to her, he would have never had the opportunity to become Venerable Bihua's disciple.

"I don't want to owe my Ye family any more favors... But if there is no Ye family, how can you, Venerable Bihua, exist? ! "

……

The 'No Men Allowed' sign not far from the entrance of Bihua Pavilion had indeed been removed.

This was of course what You Su meant. It would be absolutely unwise to abandon the vast male cultivation market, but he did not completely abandon the Third Elder's demands.

Although Bihua Pavilion is currently targeting middle- and lower-level female cultivators, it does not mean that it will not produce high-end products in the future. In fact, according to the memory fragments in You Su's mind, there are only a lot of novelties.

After discussions with the third elder, the sales model of Bihua Pavilion has been basically determined, that is, mid- and low-end products are aimed at the general public, while high-end products are only customized for female practitioners.

Therefore, the women deliberately cleared the third floor of Bihua Pavilion as a reception room for high-end female customers in the future. However, in this place where men are truly not allowed to enter, You Su was sitting in the middle.

To be precise, they were sitting in the middle of the long table with the Third Elder. Eight female disciples from Bihua Peak surrounded them excitedly. You Su and the Third Elder were the leaders of these people. Ji Lingruo and Wangshu, like door gods, stood on both sides of You Su, blocking these "bad women".

You Su only felt that his nostrils were filled with refreshing fragrance, as if he saw a sea of ​​flowers in all colors, with each flower blooming and vying for beauty.

You Su couldn't help but wonder, are all the women in Bihua Peak raised on nectar? Why are they all so fragrant?

"I wonder if any of you sisters have made stockings with the exclusive pattern of Bihua Pavilion?"

"It's done! After we were notified last night, we rushed to make twenty-four pairs!"

Lin Sihan quickly took out the results of her and her sisters' work that night and wanted to hand it to You Su personally, but she found that You Su's junior and senior sisters were staring at her. She was discouraged for a moment and obediently put the stockings on the table.

You Su took it himself, spread it out in his hands and tasted it. The texture was as good as ever.

In fact, he just found out that the stockings that he had torn when he was practicing dual cultivation with his junior sister were all produced by Bihua Peak, so he could be said to be the man in the world who knew the most about Bihua Pavilion stockings.

"Thank you for your hard work, you are just new to textiles, but you have such great skills. It is really admirable."

You Su praised sincerely, which made several female disciples very happy. After all, there is a difference between praise from the same sex and praise from the opposite sex.

Ji Lingruo glanced at You Su, but did not get angry because there were so many people around. She just quietly wrote down the account.

"My disciple is not only smart but also hardworking. It is only natural that he has such a result." The third elder also showed a proud look.

"I just touched it. Isn't the symbol of Bihua Pavilion a peony? Why does it feel like it doesn't look like one?"

"Peony? Junior Brother You must have remembered it wrongly. It should be chrysanthemum."

Although Yutong is younger than Yousu, he can still call Yousu "Junior Brother" because he joined the sect earlier.

"chrysanthemum?"

You Su was obviously stunned, because he had clearly been talking about Peony with the Third Elder last night.

The Third Elder raised his eyebrows, as if he knew You Su's doubts, and said calmly: "Everyone in the world loves peonies, but I only love lotus flowers that grow out of mud without being stained. After you say this, who will still love peonies? Of course, we can't use peonies."

You Su suddenly realized, "Why is it chrysanthemum?"

He remembered that when he was in the Third Elder's back garden, the Third Elder asked him what his favorite flower was, and his answer was chrysanthemum. But in that garden, there was not even chrysanthemum planted, which meant that the Third Elder did not like chrysanthemums, so how could he use chrysanthemums as a symbol?
"Chrysanthemums are easy to embroider and more approachable than peonies. They are more in line with the philosophy of our Bihua Pavilion. Why not? Do you have any objections?"

The Third Elder sat upright and sipped her tea. Today they had to discuss serious matters, so she rarely replaced tea with wine.

You Su naturally didn't dare to object, "No, no, chrysanthemums are good, better than peonies."

Even though he said that, You Su still had a misconception that the Third Elder changed the pattern to a chrysanthemum just for him...

The third elder glanced at You Su casually, and when she saw that You Su did not ask any more questions, her straight back relaxed a little, as if she had let down her guard.

"Now that the pattern has been finalized, please tell me about the results of your night's preparation."

You Su was thinking the same thing, and said with a smile:
"I don't know if the person from Qianhua Pavilion was the one who kicked the female cultivator wearing Bihua Pavilion stockings out of the banquet. If that was the case, then I can only say that Qianhua Pavilion dug its own grave."

The beauties didn't understand what he meant, but they felt inexplicably at ease listening to You Su's words, as if they had already secured victory.

You Su also picked up the teacup and took a sip with confidence:
"Junior sister, take it out and show it to everyone."

Ji Lingruo took out a roll of paper from her sleeve and spread it on the table. She glanced at the words on the paper and looked away as if she couldn't bear to look at it again.

The girls were very curious and quickly gathered around, only to find that the paper was filled with words that actually contained a short story.

The Third Elder was naturally embarrassed to join them, but with her level of cultivation, she no longer had to see it with her own eyes. She just felt a little uncomfortable watching her beloved female disciples surrounding You Su in the middle. But she also thought that You Su was the savior who brought hope at the moment, so she could only acquiesce.

While observing whether You Su would do anything wrong, she read the story on the paper.

The protagonist of the story is the daughter of a poor family in a remote mountain town.

The family were all farmers and had one son and one daughter. Although they were poor, they were considered happy.

One time, my daughter was spotted by a passing immortal, who wanted to take her to Henggao City for study.

The whole family was very happy and felt that their daughter had made great progress. However, ordinary immortal sects were not as wealthy as Xuanxiao Sect, and most sects would not teach their disciples for free.

This poor family tried their best to support their daughter so that she could practice well in Henggao City.

With the money, my daughter did live a good life in Henggao City. At least, it was much better than those disciples who had to work part-time or go out on missions. But after all, it still couldn't allow her to integrate into the circles she longed for.

Later, my daughter's sect and other sects jointly held a social banquet next month. My daughter also wanted to attend, but it was said that people who were not dressed appropriately would be kicked out.

The daughter looked at her plain skirt, and then at her female classmates whom she envied from afar.

They are the darlings of fashion and always wear the most fashionable clothes. Recently, a kind of socks called silk stockings has become popular among them. After seeing it once, my daughter was attracted by the beauty of the silk stockings.

At that moment, her desire for a pair of stockings reached its peak.

But these stockings are rare and are only sold in the Birds Pavilion in Henggao City. If converted into mortal silver, they would cost at least twenty taels a pair.

This was definitely not something she could afford with the little money she had saved, so she had no choice but to write a letter home and send it to her parents.

She told her parents that she had no friends in the sect and she needed money to buy a pair of socks. That was the key to her integration into the sect and she had to get it.

My mother quickly sent a letter back, with a few hundred copper coins attached.

"Mom has earned three hundred coins from digging wild vegetables in the mountains these days. You can use it first. If it's not enough, come back and tell me."

But three hundred wen was still far from twenty taels. Seeing that she had made a start, she kept asking her family for money just to buy a pair of Bainiaoge stockings before the banquet next month.

Letters from my mother kept arriving, along with copper coins of varying amounts:

"This is what my mother earned from washing dishes in a restaurant."

"This is what my mother earned from carrying manure for the rich."

"Mom dug out some gold jewelry she had saved from the past. This is what she got from selling her gold jewelry."

"Sister, we have money now! You can buy the socks you want! Mom is sick, and we sold our house to get this money. We are renting at Aunt Liu's house now, so if you come back to see us, don't make the wrong choice. But you still shouldn't come back, you have to practice well, and take care of yourself over there. Sister is an immortal, the most powerful!"

When the daughter saw the letter, she burst into tears as if she had just woken up from a dream.

Only then did she realize that her father did not appear in any of the letters.

She wrote to ask with trembling hands, but the reply was like a bolt from the blue. It turned out that her father had died while she was away studying. But in order not to affect her studies, he had kept it a secret from her...

The story ends here, and all the beauties have tears in their eyes.

The originally lively atmosphere turned into a scene of birds singing and flowers complaining.

"This Hundred Birds Pavilion is clearly the Thousand Flowers Pavilion. Really, why are the stockings sold at such a high price?!"

"I can bear the injustice myself, but I cannot bear to see my parents suffer injustice. This daughter is such a despicable person!"

"Wow, so pitiful. Stop torturing your family. Can't I give you money to buy stockings?"

The youngest, Yutong, even shed tears.

All the women were sighing sadly, or hating their daughter's stupidity, only You Su laughed out loud in an extremely abrupt manner.

The Third Elder's face darkened. She was not born into a famous immortal family. Before she became an immortal, she was just a little medicine boy. Compared with his disciples, she could empathize with the sufferings of mortals more.

She immediately slammed the table and said angrily:

"You Su! How can you still laugh?!"

You Su quickly stopped smiling and said awkwardly:

"Don't be surprised, Third Elder. It's just that You Su saw that this story was so touching and true, and he knew that this plan would definitely work, so he laughed out loud. Senior Sister Yutong, don't cry, the story is not over yet."

As he spoke, You Su took out a bag of glutinous rice candy from his Qiankun bag and handed it over.

Seeing this, the little girl held back her tears, took the candy, and said angrily:

"I asked you to find a way to improve the reputation of our Bihua Pavilion, why are you telling stories?"

You Su suddenly felt a chill coming from the right. He understood what she meant and took out another piece and gave it to his senior sister with blue eyes flashing. Only then did the chill dissipate.

Ji Lingruo saw it and made a note of it in her heart.

"Senior Sister Yutong, you don't know that changing public opinion depends on this story. It can make you feel deeply distressed, and it will definitely resonate with others."

This is not an exaggeration. I would like to ask, who in this world can say that they have never owed their parents anything?
"But what's the use of this story?" Yutong asked doubtfully while chewing candy.

She was still inexperienced and had not yet realized the significance of this story, but the Third Elder was slightly moved and looked at You Su with a brilliant look in his eyes.

She had already vaguely guessed the direction of the story. If this story was really well written, it would have a more profound propaganda effect than those portraits.

She really didn't expect that this blind man's skills in inciting people were so terrifying.

"In fact, this story is exactly what I found the inspiration for from the woman who was kicked out of the banquet. Basically, all the elements of this business fight are included in it. As long as this story is deeply rooted in people's hearts, not only will our reputation be reversed, but even the good reputation of Qianhua Pavilion will be hit. That's why I said that they are digging their own graves."

You Su raised his lips in a confident arc, and tapped the table with his index finger:
"Senior sister, please take out the second half."

Wangshu obeyed the order obediently and immediately spread out another roll of paper, as if he had been waiting for this moment.
