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

Chapter 268 He Kongyue's inexplicable resentment
Taking advantage of the fact that there was no one on Lotus Peak, Ji Lingruo quickly took a bath and refined the essence in her body.

This time, I didn't use the dual cultivation method until the end, so I have to pay more attention to the remnants of that thing.

After all, she was very young and had no intention of becoming a mother.

After four days of intense practice, the Xuan Qi in her body surged. The cultivation of the middle level of Lingtai was not only stable but also very full, but although the cultivation level increased, the control and perception of Xuan Qi could not be obtained by dual cultivation. If Ji Ling had full confidence and let her comprehend for a while longer, she would definitely be able to touch the threshold of the upper level of Lingtai.

She continued to look inward, and saw that the green demon pill was glowing with green light, more dazzling than ever before.

Ji Lingruo frowned secretly, she felt that this demon pill had changed again...

Not only is the cyan color more pure, but it also seems to be a little bigger...

In fact, after Ji Lingruo got this top-grade demon pill, she developed a habit. Just like a little girl who got a beloved doll, she couldn't help but stare at it all the time.

So she would often look inward at the demon pill, and she could clearly feel... this demon pill was different from when she first got it.

It's like a living thing...it absorbs energy and grows...

Just as the spirit altar would expand, it was not surprising that the demon pill would grow. She just felt that this top-grade demon pill was too magical.

But at least, she didn't feel anything unusual because of this demon pill. Her sister and Granny Liu also checked her body, so she thought there should be nothing wrong with this demon pill.

Ji Lingruo withdrew her gaze and shook her head.

After calming down, she spread out her sister's letter and read it again. Even though she was angry with her sister and had a quarrel, the person she missed most in her heart was still her sister.

She knew that if she felt the same way, her sister must feel the same way.

In the first half of the letter, there is indeed a lingering sense of sisterhood flowing through.

Just seeing the content about You Su, Ji Lingruo still pouted in anger.

But it doesn’t matter. My sister can only show off her eloquence in the letter, and she is the real winner today.

Just as she was about to replace You Su's bed cover with a new one, she suddenly noticed something wrong.

If my sister wanted to retaliate against me for showing off to my senior brother, and deliberately said those words to anger her, it means that my sister still cares about my senior brother, otherwise why would she be angry with me?

But if she cared about her senior brother, why was her reply to his letter so cold?
That only means that my sister is too shy to express herself, but why does she dare to openly show her special feelings for my senior brother in front of me?
My sister is not so shameless, so Ji Lingruo began to analyze carefully: the arrogant and cold image in the reply letter to senior brother is the true image of my sister. Given my sister's personality, she should not mention senior brother at all in the letter, and it is even more impossible for her to recall the past with senior brother.

The purpose of my sister saying these things on purpose...

Just to irritate her!

Ji Lingruo felt that she had grasped the key to the problem, but why did her sister provoke her?
Since it wasn't for verbal disputes, why did she deliberately divert the comparison between the sisters from the amount of time You Su spent with her to the bed...

Isn't this just to make her angry so that he can prove that he is better than his sister and work harder in front of his senior brother!

But since I'm working so hard, my sister, who is connected to me spiritually, should be even more troubled!
What she didn't know was that Ji Xueruo had been hiding in the house for three days, claiming to have physical complaints.

Thinking of this, Ji Lingruo was suddenly stunned and her pupils slowly contracted, just because she thought of an incredible possibility.

My sister wouldn't... expect me to work harder, right?!
In this way, all the inconsistencies in the letter can be explained.

When she and her senior brother were practicing... that clan leader sister who was so proud in front of others not only didn't think it was a problem, but actually enjoyed it, and even complained that she wasn't doing a good enough job?!
Ji Lingruo couldn't help but spit. She felt as shocked as if she was seeing Sister Qing's true face for the first time.

"Sure enough, I knew it! White and green ones are all snakes, why are you pretending to be abstinent!"

Ji Lingruo cursed angrily, feeling that she was being used by her sister, but she recalled the scene when she woke up in the snake blood pool: she had been separated from her senior brother for several months at that time, and she also enjoyed it through the divine sense...

So she couldn't be annoyed by her sister's scheming. Her sister and her senior brother were separated by two sides of the Taiwan Strait, and they had to write letters and wait for more than half a month to communicate. Although her sister didn't say it, she must have missed her senior brother very much...

Besides, Ji Lingruo had to admit that it was extremely stress-relieving to have sex like this when she was anxious and tired. It was no wonder that her sister wanted to release more pressure than her since she was under so much more pressure.

Never mind, Ji Lingruo thought, since she had already tacitly approved of her sister and You Su's relationship, why not be more generous? She was the one who felt the real feelings anyway.

But you must not let Senior Brother know about this. If he knew that dealing with one snake is equivalent to dealing with two at the same time, he would go crazy...

Ji Lingruo felt scared at the thought, and then suddenly burst out laughing.

She had already thought of a witty remark that would definitely make her sister speechless, and she had to thank her for her kindness -

“Sister, it’s a pity that it’s me in front of Brother, it’s me in his heart, and it’s still me that he calls. But in order to give you a sense of participation, next time I will ask Brother to call her Xueruo instead of Lingruo… Hahaha!”

Ji Lingruo laughed so hard when she thought of her sister's gloomy expression when she saw these words.

Just at this moment, the door was pushed open, which scared her.

"Senior brother?"

The person who came was You Su, who looked stern and anxious.

"What, what's wrong?"

Ji Lingruo quickly stopped smiling and realized something was wrong.

You Su didn't say anything, but gave her the letter sent by Venerable Qianhua.

Ji Lingruo finished reading it with just a quick glance, and was even more frightened when she saw the pieces of stockings attached to the letter.

She knew very well that the simple-minded senior sister was very careful about things, and this pair of stockings was only worn under the snow fox fur coat that she always wore. How could she bear to see them cut into pieces?
"Senior Sister is being held at the Qianhua Pavilion headquarters?!"

"It should be the work of Venerable Qianhua. She knows that I am the one behind the Bihua Pavilion, so she wants to lure me over by using the name of Senior Sister."

You Su's tone was cold, but Ji Lingruo knew that beneath the seemingly calm tone, there was surging anger.

"Should we tell the Third Elder?"

You Su shook his head. "Not for now. The other party obviously doesn't want to communicate with the Third Elder, but wants to settle things with me privately. If I alarm the Third Elder first, I'm afraid the negotiation won't work out. So not only can I not tell the Third Elder first, I can't even tell Master's Wife. I can't let them worry."

"Venerable Qianhua is also an upright cultivator. Would she dare to attack my senior sister?"

"Among the cultivators in the Five Continents, there should be no one who dares to attack Senior Sister, so there is no need to worry about her safety. But Senior Sister has always been a spontaneous person, and she was actually able to be kept by Venerable Qianhua. I'm afraid there is something fishy going on."

"What should we do then?" Ji Lingruo also frowned.

"I will go to the meeting first. It only takes a little over a day to get from Henggao City to Jinhua City. If I don't come back after three days, Junior Sister will tell the Third Elder about this."

"I can't go?!"

Ji Lingruo had just obtained the magic sword and was ready to show off his skills.

"If Junior Sister doesn't stay at home, Senior Brother won't feel safe to bring her back."

Ji Lingruo pursed her nose, but she was not so easily fooled:
"You plan to go to the meeting alone. Are you afraid that it will intensify the conflict between the Third Elder and Venerable Qianhua, leading to the complete failure of the Bihua Pavilion?"

Ji Lingruo stamped her feet again, revealing a look of solidarity:
"What are you afraid of? Our Bihua Pavilion is so popular, so why not confront them openly? Who is afraid of whom?"

You Su smiled gently, but he knew that business fights were not as simple and rough as pulling hair between women. He rubbed the girl's black hair lovingly, "Junior sister is getting smarter and smarter, but a starving camel is bigger than a horse. After all, Qianhua Pavilion has dominated this industry for hundreds of years. If they are serious, Bihua Pavilion will have little hope of success. This is not only the hard work of Bihua Peak, but also our Lianhua Peak. I can't watch it fail."

Ji Lingruo pursed her lips, feeling You Su's determination, she could only sigh:
"Go early and come back early. If the Third Elder finds out, you can't blame me."

You Su was moved and hugged the girl for a long time.

Although the junior sister is usually spoiled, she is rarely willful and generally supports You Su's decisions.

"Junior sister is the cutest and most virtuous wife in the world."

You Su leaned close to the girl's ear and whispered some extremely cheesy words.

Ji Lingruo's face was burning, she felt that these words were more lethal than "the mountains are gone, the sky and the earth are united", she was so embarrassed that she quickly broke free from You Su's embrace:
"If we don't leave now, it will be dark!"

You Su raised the corner of his mouth, touched the girl's lips like a dragonfly touching the water, then waved his hand and rushed out of the yard.

Ji Lingruo stroked her lips, which still had the residual warmth of You Su. She knew that she would probably be eaten by this blind man for the rest of her life.

……

You Su sat on the small flying stick and headed towards Jinhua City along the route he took when he returned from Moye City.

He hesitated for a moment, but still took out the Xuanji Order.

"Is Brother He here?"

Counting the days, he and Brother He haven't sent each other messages for several days.

The last message in Xuanji Order still stopped at Brother He's words:

"I have to go out of town for something recently, so just leave a message, Brother You."

But he has been deeply immersed in the gentleness of his junior sister these days. Who would think of sending a message to his brother in the middle of the night?

Women's beauty can lead to misleading friends!
After sending the message, there was no reply for a long time. You Su felt that he was not used to it. Brother He always replied immediately. He just hoped that Brother He would not feel that he had ignored him and get angry.

"What's the matter?"

He Kongyue's reply finally came.

You Su secretly breathed a sigh of relief, but he felt that something was wrong with Brother He’s attitude, as if he was a little...cold?
If it were before, the response would definitely be something like "What's wrong, Brother You?"

"I want to ask you, do you know what kind of person Venerable Qianhua is?"

"Why are you asking her? Are you interested in her? Or are you interested in this kind of beautiful female fairy with a plump figure and noble status?"

Three big question marks popped up in You Su's mind. He just asked such a simple question, why did Brother He associate it with that as if he was stressed?

If it was a normal chat, You Su would definitely talk to his friend about his own hobbies.

He was indeed interested in this kind of woman. After all, who wouldn't like the feeling of conquest?

But at this time he also clearly felt that something was wrong with Brother He. Although he couldn't feel the tone from the text, he instinctively felt that he should not talk along the lines of Brother He.

"Brother He, you are joking. It's just that because of the matter of Bihua Pavilion, Venerable Qianhua invited me to have a secret talk with her. I was a little scared, so I wanted to ask Brother He about the situation."

"You are indeed very capable. These female cultivators on the mountaintops who are not polite to men are all very fond of you."

No, what’s with this sour smell that’s about to overflow the screen?

"Brother He, do you admire Venerable Qianhua?"

This is the only reasonable explanation You Su can think of. Otherwise, why would Brother He react so strongly?
"Nonsense! Don't put yourself in other people's shoes!"

"If Brother He doesn't know either, then I'll go ask someone else."

You Su didn't want to continue arguing with He Kongyue about the matter of liking his older sister. He didn't know what had stimulated the other party, but he really didn't have the time to comfort her.

"Why did you come to He's house? I'll tell you in person."

"Brother He is back?"

You Su felt strange. He thought that Brother He didn't send him a message because he was still busy outside, but it turned out that he had already returned?

"Unfortunately, I'm already on my way to Jinhua City. This matter is really important to me and it concerns Bihua Pavilion. I hope Brother He can help me."

You Su's attitude was sincere, even a little distant. Given their previous relationship, there was no need to talk about this.

He Kongyue felt uncomfortable when reading these words of pleading.

She sighed slowly, her eyes fixed on the copy of The Return of the Condor Heroes spread out beside her.

After her on-the-spot investigation, she found out that You Su's former master was indeed named Guan Chujun, and had been traveling for eight years. And He Shutong was You Su's former master's wife, and they lived together for eight years.

He Kongyue saw at a glance that her sister's and Guan Chujun's identities were fake, because that icy girl could not possibly fall in love with someone else.

But from You Su's perspective, why is the heroine He Shutong's partner in the book not called Guan Chujun but Guan Tu?
Does the word "tu" really mean having nothing?
She thought of You Su's persistent attitude towards He Shutong, the unprecedented fact that this cold-blooded woman accepted You Su as her disciple, and the connection between You Su as the author and the male protagonist in the book...

Could it be... that it means 'official's apprentice'?

She hadn't sent any messages to You Su because she was conflicted about how to feel about You Su.

But it was not until this moment when she realized how estranged she was from You Su that she realized how reluctant she was.

"Qianhua Pavilion is a clothing store, and also a huge cultivation organization. The huge benefits have brought convenience to the cultivation of the senior members of Qianhua Pavilion. The Pavilion Master of Qianhua Pavilion is also known as Qianhua Reverend, which is a rare honorific title that can be inherited.

This generation of Qianhua Venerable has been famous for a long time, 150 years. She is not only the most famous tailor in the Five Continents, but also the most ambitious Pavilion Master of Qianhua Pavilion. Beiaozhou is cold and does not like fancy clothes, so it has always been abandoned by Qianhua Pavilion. However, she overcame difficulties, adapted to local conditions, and spread Qianhua Pavilion's business all over the Five Continents.

Rumor has it that she is extremely beautiful, but a meticulous person. She is a complete 'tyrant' in Qianhua Pavilion. Many members of Qianhua Pavilion are afraid of her severity, but they have to admire her talent, so they are willing to work under her. "

You Su read it patiently and had a preliminary understanding of the image of Venerable Qianhua - a strong woman who is extremely ambitious and capable.

"Do you have any weaknesses or anything like that? Like someone or something you care about?"

He Kongyue raised his eyebrows. Why did You Su seem to be threatening others?

"Besides Qianhua Pavilion, what else could she care about?"

You Su nodded slightly, and understood:
"Thank you, Brother He. I am no longer afraid."

He Kongyue pursed her lips, resisting the urge to continue chatting with You Su, and instead continued to delve into the title of 'official apprentice'.

"Come back from Jinhua City and come to my He's house immediately!"

"must."
