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

Chapter 281 I treat you as my brother, and you treat me as your brother-in-law (5.6k)

"Junior sister, I have to go down the mountain for something, please take good care of me!"

You Su quickly put on his clothes and ran up the ladder, leaving Ji Lingruo leaning against the window, looking at his back with a puzzled look on her face.

You Su didn't know what happened to He Kongyue, but the other party's words "I won't see you anymore" still made him feel shocked.

I did not favor one over the other. I would just feed my wife and leave my brothers hungry.

In fact, most of the redundant Xuan Qi that was almost exploding was distributed to He Kongyue who was in the Ningshui upper realm. It was too difficult for the three Lingtai realms to digest the "gift" from Venerable Qianhua alone.

Logically, Brother He should have made a breakthrough in his realm, so why can't he see me?
You Su read all the messages sent by He Kongyue, trying to find some clues, but to no avail.

Most of the messages were asking when he would be back, whether things were going smoothly at Qianhua Pavilion, or simply asking if he had returned to Shenshan, reminding him not to forget his appointment to the He family.

Only the one about Gray-kun surprised him greatly——

"Do you want to die?"

You Su knew very well that the other party would not say such things for no reason. She must have discovered something, and it was most likely that he had arbitrarily collected followers.

But how did she know? Did she plant a ghost eye on my body?
You Su had no choice but to reply to the letter while on his journey.

"Why do you say that, Lord Gray?"

To You Su's surprise, Hui Jun replied quickly as usual. Could it be that this important figure with such an extraordinary status was always keeping an eye on Xuan Ji Ling?
"How dare you absorb the power of a flesh follower so casually?!"

Just by looking at this text, You Su could feel the anger and accusations from the other party.

"How did you know?"

This piece of news was not as fast as the first one:

"He Kongyue's cultivation suddenly increased dramatically. He came to ask me for the reason without knowing it. I also got the news that when Venerable Bihua brought you back to the sect, he said that you had the sign of a breakthrough. Putting it together, it can only be that you got something for nothing."

You Su was silent for a moment, and in order to get more information, he chose to confess:
"I did take in a flesh follower, and his cultivation is very high."

"Is it Venerable Qianhua or Venerable Bihua?"

"Please forgive me Yousu for not being able to comment."

Gray was silent for a moment, then asked:
"That's Venerable Qianhua. How did you take him in?"

"With my own blood."

"You're looking for death! No matter how strong the power of the Lord is, it's impossible for you to completely control a Dongxu Venerable with your spiritual cultivation! Such a family relationship is not solid! Have you ever thought about what kind of situation you will face if you fail and expose this ability?"

"The situation was critical at the time... I was forced into a corner."

"I wish you the best! Remember, contaminating the enemy into evil is your last resort! It is also the most desperate resort!"

"I, the Pure World Sect, help you so that you can save the world, not so that you can turn everyone in the world into evil spirits!"

"The one who can only corrupt people's minds is called the evil god! He is our mortal enemy!"

Huijun wrote three consecutive messages, full of excitement, like a dedicated teacher who is worried that his beloved student will go astray.

"I won't do anything reckless in the future. At least for now, that woman isn't that dangerous."

"How do you judge?"

You Su hesitated for a while, but still chose to conceal it. He couldn't say that the woman seemed to enjoy the process of constantly resisting the training...

"Still no comment. I will proceed with caution."

"Your current understanding of God's power does not support you to collect so many followers. Because in the process of collecting followers, your God's power will also spread out, which will only make your power weaker and weaker.

But the most terrifying thing is not just that. Have you ever thought about what if she also pollutes others? What if others pollute more people? Are three evil gods not enough? Do you, the Lord, want to create more evil gods?

You think you can become the master of the world in this way, but don't forget that water can carry a boat, but it can also overturn it! You don't understand the horror of God's power at all! If you accidentally create an immeasurable monster or involve innocent people, you will be a sinner! "

You Su was stunned for a moment after hearing this, and fell into self-reflection. Abusing powerful authority would only lead to self-destruction.

"More importantly, it can be dangerous to those around you."

Mr. Hui suddenly said something else.

You Su suddenly came out of his shock and asked with concern, "Why?"

"Do you think that the Venerable Dongxu is a vegetarian? At their level, they can already coexist with the Heavenly Dao. Below Dongxu, the Xuanqi of a person after death will be re-integrated into the Heaven and Earth. Above Dongxu, their Xuanqi is no longer the same thing as the Xuanqi between Heaven and Earth."

"You can't control her at all. You distributed her Xuan Qi to your followers. If she wants, she can trace her own Xuan Qi and find out who you gave it to! Then she can get back the Xuan Qi that should belong to her!"

You Su paused. He had probably angered this sick woman, Venerable Qianhua, by suddenly snatching her Xuan Qi. If she knew that he had given Xuan Qi to other people, she might do something like this...

"But isn't she also a dependent...what can she do?"

"Followers cannot attack the Lord of Faith, but that doesn't mean they can't attack followers of the same clan. Because she believes in you, not someone else!"

"In order to get more food from their parents, ladybug larvae often eat unhatched eggs, or even newly hatched larvae that are weaker than themselves. When the larvae begin to grow, they will attack other larvae. They will kill each other, and the same applies to their own relatives!"

It is not uncommon for relatives to kill each other because of jealousy of their own kind, greed for power, and morbid loyalty to their masters.

"If she dares, I will make her regret giving birth to her!"

"Protect the people around you. Unless she is absolutely trustworthy or you are prepared to kill her after sucking her dry, don't do this kind of thing easily. What you think is generosity may actually harm them."

"Thank you, Mr. Hui, for the reminder. I will."

"Even if it's you, don't absorb her power easily, because you know nothing about the Void Realm. If you absorb a little bit, it will be enough to kill you. The evil spirits will devour the power of the flesh followers because the evil spirits have no limit on the realm of cultivation. Each evil spirit has an immeasurable upper limit. They absorb power more like recovery, not breakthrough.

But you are different, you are a human, your body limits the amount of Xuan Qi you can contain, if you try to cultivate by absorbing the energy from others, you must be prepared to explode and die at any time."

"Then...what if I absorb the Xuanqi of a low-level cultivator?"

You Su’s question is actually very simple. If high-level ones cannot be sucked randomly, then can’t low-level ones be sucked at will?

"Do you know what you are talking about?!"

"I don't mean anything else, it's just that some people don't deserve to live in this world. Since they are going to die, we might as well make the most of them."

Gray seemed to be lost in thought again and did not respond for a long time.

"It is indeed feasible in theory, and there are no side effects. But in essence, you are no different from some evil cultivators, except that they suck the good people, and you suck the bad people. Once you have tasted this kind of unearned pleasure, can you guarantee that you will always stick to your original intention and not indulge in it?"

This is indeed a question that strikes the heart. On the surface, this seems to be You Su's punishment for those damned evildoers, and cultivation is just a bonus. But once the priorities are reversed, will You Su do things that confuse right and wrong and cover up evil thoughts for the sake of Xuan Qi?

"I will consider it carefully."

You Su was not sure of the answer for a moment. Hui Jun did not explicitly stop him from thinking this way, but he also expressed his concerns.

Frankly speaking, he had no intention of touching her cultivation before he was angered by Venerable Qianhua. But after experiencing such rapid progress, he realized how addictive it was to just sit back and enjoy the fruits of one's labor.

"I will also keep an eye on you, and when I realize you are not the savior, I will show no mercy. Don't let me down, and don't let down those you cherish."

Mr. Hui left a meaningful message, and You Su was deeply moved when he saw it.

He possesses the most terrifying power in the world, and what the world will become depends almost entirely on his thoughts.

He can choose to be the greatest savior, or he can choose to be the most evil destroyer.

Gray Jun saw him very accurately and did not try to constrain him with a lot of responsibility and justice. Because he didn't really care about what the world was like, he cared about the people he cherished.

For these people, he will try his best to play the former role.

Also for these people, he would not hesitate to transform into a ghost.

"I will."

"Ah."

……

Soon, You Su had walked to the gate of He's mansion with ease.

The guards were extremely flattering towards the young man and soon took You Su to He Kongyue's door.

At this time, He Kongyue was sitting on the lotus platform with his eyes closed and resting. His aura was vigorous and full, and the surrounding mysterious energy was faintly flowing with him as the center.

You Su sat opposite him without disturbing him, but he didn't know that He Kongyue was not in meditation at all, but just wanted to create the illusion that he was not waiting for the boy deliberately.

Her long eyelashes trembled slightly. She wanted to open her eyes but didn't dare. She planned to pretend for a while to look more like one, but she couldn't help but said in surprise:

"Brother You, you're here?"

"Yeah." You Su smiled. "I wrote you a reply, but I don't know if you've seen it. Would it be rude to visit you without permission?"

He Kongyue not only saw it, but also watched it many times.

"How could that be? I told you that the He Mansion welcomes you very much."

He Kongyue walked down from the lotus platform and sat in the host chair.

"That's good, but what did Brother He mean when he said 'you'll never see me again'?" You Su didn't beat around the bush and went straight to the point. This was also the reason why he rushed here without stopping.

"Ah? I didn't say 'never again'..."

He Kongyue looked embarrassed, and his fair face turned slightly red.

In order to get You Su to come as soon as possible, she deliberately said some words that were full of a sense of crisis and could easily be misunderstood.

You Su's actions also proved that he cared about her, which made He Kongyue feel a little happy and a warm feeling flowing through her heart.

You Su frowned, "What do you mean by not being able to see me?"

He Kongyue smiled awkwardly and poured a cup of tea for You Su:

"To be honest, I have been blessed by the Heavenly Dao recently, and my cultivation has greatly increased. I have already shown signs of breaking through to the Feather Transformation Stage. But the current situation is that my reserves of Mysterious Qi are sufficient, but my physical strength is not yet up to par. So I may need to go into seclusion for a period of time, and then strive for the Feather Transformation Stage."

That's it?

You Su also looked helpless after hearing this. He thought that the other party must have said such words because something had happened to him.

After all, it is hard not to think of something wrong when seeing such chat records. A person who was very enthusiastic about you just now suddenly said that he couldn't see you and never spoke to you again. Who would rush to see him, right?

"What's that expression, Brother You?"

"Nothing... I just thought Brother He meant that we wouldn't be able to see each other for a long time."

He Kongyue raised his eyebrows and said angrily, "I don't know how long I will be in seclusion, and it will take a long time for me to condense the water and break through to the feather transformation. Adding this together, it will be a long time before we can see each other, right? Do you think I said this on purpose to trick you into coming here?"

"That's not what I meant...Brother He has actually reached the threshold of the Feather Transformation Realm at such a young age. It's really admirable and worth celebrating."

Now that he was here, You Su naturally couldn't leave, so he had to change the subject and raised his hand to congratulate.

If He Kongyue can break through within two years, he will be able to successfully break the record of the youngest person to reach the Feather Realm held by Fairy Wangshu.

However, she did not seem to be very happy, but exclaimed:
"Brother You, have you also achieved a breakthrough?"

"It was just luck. I didn't reply to Brother He's message these days because I was in seclusion to break through."

He Kongyue was surprised. "Your progress is too amazing. When we first met, you were just at the Lingtai realm. Now you are at the Condensation Water realm at the age of 18. With such talent, you will definitely be among the top on the Tianjiao list next year!"

You Su was not very excited either. This kind of false reputation that was not earned by working hard always made him feel a little ashamed, and he could not accept other people's praise with peace of mind.

"It's all just luck. When it comes to cultivating the Dao, it doesn't matter how fast or slow you are. What matters most is who can reach the end."

"Brother You has such understanding at such a young age. There is a lot to look forward to in the future."

You Su didn't want to continue to be involved in this topic. It was enough for him to see that Brother He accepted his "gift" safely.

"Is the place where Brother He is in seclusion safe?"

"It's naturally safe. Why are you asking this, Brother You?"

You Su shook his head and smiled, "Nothing. By the way, didn't Brother He ask me to come to the He family last time? Why?"

He Kongyue was startled at first, then his expression became serious:

"I asked you to come here because I have a few questions for you."

"Question?" You Su was stunned. "Brother He, you can ask as much as you want."

He Kongyue pursed her thin lips, then took out a book from behind her. It was the "The Return of the Condor Heroes" that Ji Lingruo sold to Tianxin Book Pavilion.

"Recently, a book has become popular in Henggao City and the surrounding cities. It is called The Return of the Condor Heroes. I wonder if you have read it, Brother You?"

You Su was stunned, and suddenly had a bad feeling in his heart.

"Have heard a little bit."

"This book is wonderfully written, with a tortuous and fascinating plot. But the name of the heroine is too coincidental. It is also called He Shutong. This name is not common. Brother You, do you think the author of this book really chose this name by chance, or did he do it on purpose?"

For some reason, You Su always felt that He Kongyue had guessed something.

He wanted to evade the question, but that would only make his statement more obvious.

“It was intentional.”

"Oh?" He Kongyue's eyes sparkled. "How do you know?"

“Because I am the author of this book.”

He Kongyue was a little stunned, and seemed surprised by You Su's frank admission.

He is so frank... Could it be that the protagonist's name really has no other meaning...?
"Brother You is 'Junior Sister is the Best in the World'?"

You Su coughed a few times and nodded in acknowledgment.

"So writing books is your source of income?"

"Yes, I don't have any special skills, so I can only make up stories to entertain people for a living."

He Kongyue asked again: "Did you write all these books?"

"I dictated it, and my junior sister transcribed it and edited it."

He Kongyue looked at You Su with an unnatural expression, and his face turned even redder when he saw the folded footers on some pages, and he quickly smoothed them out.

This is the mark she left for in-depth study, and she must not let You Su find out.

"You are quite knowledgeable..."

You Su raised his eyebrows, feeling that the other party was hinting at something, "It's just that he has a rich imagination."

"Then why did you use that woman's name as the heroine's name of this book?" He Kongyue sat up straighter and asked the question she wanted to ask most.

"Because... it's a nice name."

"Sounds good?"

The name He Shutong does sound nice, but He Kongyue doesn't believe it's such a simple reason:

"That's it?"

You Su thought for a while, "Also because the impression she gave me was particularly consistent with the image of the heroine in the book. She was as cold as an iceberg when we first met, but as we got to know each other better, I realized that she was as gentle as water."

"Are you sick?" He Kongyue couldn't help but ask.

You Su raised his eyebrows and asked, "What's wrong?"

"How can she be like what you said? She is much worse than you think!"

You Su shook his head helplessly, "Brother He is too rigid. If you have the chance to really get in touch with her, you will find that it is not like that."

He Kongyue looked a little angry, looking at You Su as if she were a fool, "You have over-beautified her! She is not at all what you imagined!"

He Kongyue's chest heaved, and his tone sounded a bit angry at the lack of fighting spirit.

"Then let me ask you again, what is the origin of this male protagonist's name?"

You Su felt that Brother He's questioning attitude was a little strange. "Disciple means to have nothing, which is very consistent with the life experience of the male protagonist in the book. Brother He, what do you want to ask? You may as well speak directly."

Seeing that You Su was so upright, He Kongyue dispelled some of his concerns.

She didn't know what was wrong with her...she was so sensitive after seeing that name.

Are you worried that You Su will develop unrealistic delusions about that iceberg girl?

Or maybe it's because he likes the sister he hates the most, instead of feeling jealous...

"What is your attitude towards her?"

He Kongyue knew that she shouldn't ask this question, but she couldn't resist her curiosity and was eager to know the answer.

"manner?"

"That is... you are so eager to find her, is it really just to repay her? Do you... like her?"

You Su's breath skipped a beat when he heard this. He was now very sure that He Kongyue must have investigated something and guessed the true meaning of "official disciple".

This was the first time that someone questioned his attitude toward his master's wife.

You Su subconsciously wanted to avoid this question, always feeling that this was a secret that could not be made public.

His attitude towards his master's wife definitely goes beyond that of an ordinary master and disciple.

Therefore, those diligence and good deeds are not just out of the younger generation's filial piety to the elders.

But when did this filial piety begin to deteriorate?
Is there really any point in continuing to cover it up?
What is there for me to be ashamed of admitting?
You Su looked at He Kongyue and finally made up his mind:
"like."
