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

Chapter 290 The Third Elder Gives You Su Ice Milk Wine (6k)

There was great joy at the foot of Lotus Peak. Not only Henggao City, but even Xuanxiao Sect was celebrating the New Year with red lanterns and wedding clothes everywhere, as people celebrated the new year together.

The girl on Lotus Peak was extremely greedy in her demands, because she knew that in three days, her senior brother would have another senior sister to exchange sword skills with.

In order to show her presence to her senior brother and to vent the resentment in her heart, Ji Lingruo almost aimed to make You Su unable to lift the sword on his wedding night with his senior sister.

To achieve this goal, she tried her best.

For example, she was a snake demon, but she put on a tail and pretended to be a fox; window paper-cuts were supposed to be pasted on windows, but she pasted them on her belly; she was a younger sister, but she acted as the chief of the snake tribe who sat at the desk and handled official business seriously...

Unfortunately, she underestimated You Su's combat effectiveness after he had broken through to the Condensed Water Realm. He was no longer comparable to her at the Lingtai Realm.

Even though she borrowed the power of the Lady Talisman and asked two maids to support her when she got tired of sitting, she still couldn't make You Su surrender.

When the two were in the same realm, it could barely be considered 40% to 60%, but now it was 20% to 80%. However, her "dedication" in cultivation still made You Su feel very satisfied, so he was willing to admit defeat and satisfy his sister's competitive spirit.

It's not that he really has such amazing self-control that he can bear to leave this gentle and lingering land, but he has to make some preparations before the big event. He can't really be squeezed into marrying his senior sister in just three days. That would be too unreasonable.

Today is the third day of the Lunar New Year, and You Su also pulled up his junior sister.

He opened the window to let the slightly lewd smell in the room dissipate, and a slight cold wind blew in, making him shiver.

Many trees in the yard have withered, the streams in the gorge have dried up, gray clouds are rolling in the sky, and there is silence between heaven and earth.

You Su took a deep breath. He knew that this was a sign before snow.

This will be the first snow of this winter. For Henggao Mountain, the highest mountain in Zhongyuan Continent, this first snow comes a little later than usual.

But for You Su, he felt it came at the right time.

The two of them simply washed up and decided to go and pay New Year's greetings to several important seniors. Although this etiquette is not popular among practitioners, as the younger generation, it is still necessary to pay greetings.

As this pair of senior and junior brothers and sisters walked on the road, they attracted countless sidelong glances from their fellow disciples.

You Su was wearing a black and gold costume. He had a slender figure and a restrained temperament. In order to cater to the atmosphere of the New Year, Ji Lingruo also pinned a string of red tassels on his waist, making him look youthful and energetic, yet mature and steady.

Ji Lingruo was wearing a white and red cheongsam, which was beautiful and radiant like spring flowers. After going up the mountain and being watered by You Su, her figure became more and more plump, which made her different from a real childish little girl. The charm of a snake demon always showed inadvertently.

But her most charming thing is not her natural charm, but the childishness in her delicate and sharp face. She has an extremely slender figure, but she wears cute double buns with red silk. This contradictory temperament of being charming and ignorant is perfectly integrated in her body, becoming a more charming temptation.

The eyes around were a little fiery. Ji Lingruo quietly hid behind You Su. You Su was not vague either and held Ji Lingruo's hand openly.

Although human-shemale love should not be publicized under the current circumstances, there is no reason to be a coward at this time.

You Su knew very well that what his junior sister wanted from him was not the essence of the sword, but just a tiny sense of security.

If he can't even give the woman he cherishes this sense of security, then what right do he have to talk about love?

"Brother... this isn't a good idea..."

Ji Lingruo tried to break free. As early as when she parted with You Su in Izumo City, she had made You Su and her reach a consensus. When they reached the top of the mountain and no one could control them, they would openly declare this love between a human and a demon.

But You Su's big hand held the soft hand tightly, with no intention of letting go.

"Brothers and sisters have a good relationship, isn't that okay?"

Ji Lingruo lowered her head upon hearing this, feeling as if her heart was about to melt into water. The afterglow of waking up in the morning was aroused again, and she said hesitantly:

"Brother...why don't we just stop paying New Year's greetings and go back?"

You Su raised his eyebrows slightly, how could he not know that his junior sister was greedy again. His junior sister was a novice and loved to play, but she loved to play too much...

He squeezed the girl's hand and said lovingly:

"The door is open. It will be quick."

"Oh……"

Ji Lingruo had no choice but to nod in disappointment and silently let You Su lead the way.

The first person they wanted to visit was, of course, the most powerful person in Xuanxiao Sect, second only to the first person. The chief elder.

Tianshu Peak is where all the geniuses of the entire Xuanxiao Sect gather. The number of true disciples here is not the highest among the thirteen peaks of the Xuanxiao Sect, but in terms of combat power, no peak dares to challenge Tianshu Peak head-on.

The research of magic at Tianshu Peak is not only the best in Xuanxiao Sect, but also the pinnacle of the entire Five Continents. There are so many cultivators in the Five Continents who practice magic. Every cultivator obsessed with magic yearns to come here, but the threshold of Tianshu Peak can only make all kinds of magic geniuses stay away.

You Su and Ji Lingruo, however, walked freely and unhindered on this magnificent mountain road.

Of course, all this was arranged by the chief elder. He had always wanted to invite You Su to be his guest, but never had the chance. Now that You Su took the initiative to come to him, he naturally welcomed him.

You Su and Ji Lingruo bowed respectfully and wished the chief elder a happy new year.

The chief elder stroked his beard with a look of melancholy, "Time flies, another year has passed, I almost forgot how old I am..."

Even for cultivators who have reached the realm of perfect Dongxu, their lifespan cannot exceed 500 years, unless they break through to the realm of Tianxing.

The chief elder lived for more than 400 years, and it seemed as if he could already foresee his own death.

"I only hope that before I die, I can see the day when the five continents are cleansed."

This is the biggest wish of this elderly man in his life.

"I definitely will." You Su agreed confidently.

The chief elder glanced at You Su indifferently, with a hint of appreciation and expectation in his cloudy eyes. The old man did not continue with such a heavy topic in the New Year, but instead chatted with You Su and Ji Lingruo about family matters like an ordinary old man who cared about the young.

The only thing he hated was evil spirits. He treated all demons equally and did not hold a hostile attitude towards them like many high-ranking cultivators did. This made Ji Lingruo feel quite favorable towards him and he let down his guard a little.

At the end of the conversation, You Su took the initiative to resign. The chief elder tried to persuade him to stay and suddenly asked:

"When you passed the public notice, I gave you a copy of "Theory of Art". Have you read it carefully?"

When You Su successfully passed the public notice period, eight great elders gave him gifts, but the only useful one was the Wind Weasel Formation Plate. Of course, if the Lady Talisman had not been snatched away by the junior sister, it would probably have been of great use.

It can be seen that the more magic weapons you have, the better. In fact, many magic weapons are flashy and have no practical use.

"You Su has of course read the book given by the chief elder."

"Since you have read it, are you interested in learning my magic? I can see that you and your sister are both talented people."

"When You Su became Master's disciple, he had already decided to focus on the way of the sword. The way of magic was not what You Su wanted to learn."

You Sudu only wanted to understand the theory of magic and had no intention of delving deeply into it.

Unlike when he was not confident in his own strength in Izumo Castle, You Su, now holding the sword, did not feel that he needed to rely on other powers.

"Me, me too..."

Ji Lingruo was a little timid that she dared to refuse this top magic master of the Five Continents.

"I understand what you're thinking. You're just cultivating immortality. If you don't know any magic, who would know you're an immortal? If you learn more magic, it will be more convenient for you to be outside."

While chatting and laughing, he took out two thick volumes, which turned out to be a collection of magic tricks compiled by the chief elder himself - "Thirty-six Essential Magic Tricks for Traveling in the Jianghu".

This person who is at the top of magic chose a very down-to-earth title for his book.

"You have come to wish me a happy new year. This is the New Year's money I give you. One copy for each of you. If you have any questions about cultivation, you can come to Tianshu Peak to ask."

This is a gift more valuable than money. You Su and Ji Lingruo wanted to politely decline, but the old man said:

"A cultivator follows the will of heaven. Magic is a convenience given by heaven. There is no reason not to use it."

The chief elder's purpose was very simple, to let these two juniors start by learning simple and practical techniques, so that they might become interested in more advanced techniques in the future.

The two of them had no choice but to accept it "against their will". However, after hearing this, You Su suddenly remembered the doubts that had been in his mind since he read "The Theory of Art":

"First Elder, You Su is not good at magic, so I have a question for you."

"But it doesn't matter."

The chief elder was curious about what questions You Su Neng might have.

"When performing a spell, one must chant a spell, make hand gestures, and consume the mysterious energy in the body. All of these are to establish a connection with the Heavenly Dao, and then to get a response from the Heavenly Dao, resonate with it, and exert extraordinary power. In other words, it is actually borrowing power from the Heavenly Dao and temporarily mastering part of the authority to control the rules. I wonder if what I said is correct?"

The chief elder thought thoughtfully, "About the same."

"Well, I wonder if there is a possibility..."

"What is possible? Just say it boldly."

"What if it's not the Way of Heaven? When performing magic, it is still subject to the limitations of the Way of Heaven. Can we create a magic that doesn't use the Way of Heaven as the creditor, but a powerful person as the creditor?"

The chief elder looked stunned and his eyelids trembled unconsciously.

He didn't know how You Su came up with such a rebellious idea, so he calmed down his inner thoughts and said:
"Do you think there is anyone in this world whose power can rival that of Heaven? You can draw on the power of Heaven because you are cultivating the Qi of Heaven and Earth. Even if there really is such a person, the Qi of cultivators cannot be of the same origin, so it is impossible to borrow the Qi of others."

"You Su is new to this, so I am just making random guesses. Please don't blame me, Chief Elder."

"Who hasn't thought about breaking the rules when they were young? The hearts of young people are the most rampant. I'm also an experienced person, so why should I blame you? Do you still have questions?"

You Su shook his head and saluted, "That's all. Thank you, Elder Chief, for clearing up my doubts. Then my junior sister and I will withdraw first and visit Elder Chief again next time."

The chief elder stroked his beard and smiled gently, then casually performed a spell.

"I'll take you there."

You Su and Ji Lingruo were seen floating up slowly, three inches off the ground, and suddenly a cotton-like cloud appeared on the soles of their shoes.

Before You Su could say no, the two clouds carried the two people and flew close to the ground, speeding down the mountain. The chief elder looked at the two people's backs as they went away, and withdrew his gaze, You Su's speculation was still echoing in his mind.

There is no doubt that the Way of Heaven has given people the path to practice Taoism, but it has also restricted people’s progress.

He had been in this cave for many years, but he could never figure out the vague light of awakening. However, the young man's unintentional question today seemed to have allowed him to vaguely find the answer.

Jump out of the way of heaven...

……

The first elder's magic was so amazing that he guessed that You Su and Ji Lingruo would visit the third elder next. In a flash, he sent the dumbfounded two to the foot of Bihua Peak.

"The chief elder is too amazing..."

Ji Lingruo was still frightened after falling to the ground suddenly.

You Su only felt that the old man was as deep as the ocean, and people could never guess his true intentions.

"You're in such a hurry to send us away. I guess you think he's wasted too much of our time."

You Su smiled bitterly and shook his head, then led his junior sister towards the mountain.

As expected, even during the festive season, most of the senior sisters from Lotus Peak gathered at the Bihua Pavilion, which was the result of their hard work.

Most of these female disciples had happy lives and good family conditions, but they did not go home to visit their families during the New Year holidays. It was not that the Third Elder did not approve leave for these female disciples, but they all volunteered to stay, and they would have no regrets even if it meant that the Bihua Pavilion could open one day earlier.

The third elder, who is the head of a pavilion, is also here. She is wearing an exquisitely tailored black and red cheongsam, which shows her luxury and solemnity, while also retaining the unique charm and style of a mature woman.

Seeing the two coming, all the girls were very enthusiastic and surrounded them to ask about their well-being. They were all wearing new clothes they had made themselves, looking very happy. Combined with the decorations on Bihua Peak, it can be said that Bihua Peak is the place with the strongest "New Year atmosphere" in Xuanxiao Sect.

You Su and Ji Lingruo responded to the blessings one by one, but the third elder sat outside the crowd and glanced at the people from time to time. A strange look flashed across his charming face, and no one knew what he was thinking of.

These female disciples also knew the purpose of You Su and Ji Lingruo's coming here, so they left on their own accord after making a fuss. Only then did You Su and Ji Lingruo pay their respects to the Third Elder.

"Third Elder, it's New Year, and my junior sister and I are here to greet you."

You Su's acting skills have always been very good. He performed very naturally, as if he had completely forgotten about being drunk that day.

The third elder quietly sat up straighter, her mind looking more majestic, and she didn't want to reveal her true identity.

The beautiful woman glanced at the young man, her face gentle, but she was secretly complaining in her heart:

He knew to come... He acted so naturally, as if he didn't remember anything about that day... Did he really drink too much and got his head burned?
It is not uncommon for people to lose their memory due to drunkenness. The third elder said anxiously:

Then, then wouldn’t I be at a big loss?

I thought that things were irreversible at this point, so I decided to use You Su's sense of morality to trap this talented person.

But if You Su really didn't remember, then he would have been rubbed and sucked for nothing...

But if he remembered, given her status and a boy three hundred years younger than herself, he wouldn't have any bad thoughts...

For a moment, the Third Elder was in great confusion and couldn't even tell whether he wanted You Su to remember or not.

"Master? Lingruo and Senior Brother are here to greet you..."

Sihan carefully reminded her stunned master that even though she was usually timid, she couldn't bear to see You Su bowing all the time.

The Third Elder finally came back to his senses and coughed a few times to hide his embarrassment:

"You are so thoughtful, so hurry up and get up. People who practice cultivation don't care about these etiquettes. Lotus Peak and Bihua Peak are like one family. You can eat the New Year's goods on the table as you like."

"Thank you, Third Elder."

You Su and Ji Lingruo said in unison, and then Ji Lingruo stood up and walked towards the Third Elder. Compared to her reserved attitude with the Chief Elder, she was obviously more at ease at Bihua Peak.

You Su, on the other hand, just stood up, confused.

Even though the Third Elder doesn't seem to be very smart, he is at the top of the mountain after all. How could his words be so contradictory?
First you say you don't care about the New Year, then you ask people to eat New Year's goods...

Is the Third Elder worried about something?

You Su just felt that he was too sensitive. It is worth mentioning that when You Su went to visit the chief elder, he left empty-handed, because the chief elder was obviously not a person who liked these worldly etiquettes, and You Su also knew that there was nothing he could do that would catch the eye of the chief elder.

But the Third Elder was different. Although she lived high on the mountain, she was not like the immortal mountain ancestor who was far away from the world. You Su clearly remembered the conversation with the Third Elder when they were drinking that day. This beautiful woman actually had a heart that yearned for the human world.

He gave Ji Lingruo a signal, and Ji Lingruo immediately understood. She took out various exquisite gifts bought from the Henggao City New Year's Eve street fair from her Qiankun bag and distributed them to everyone one by one.

"My dear senior sisters, these are what my senior brother and I bought during the fireworks festival in Henggao City. I have been very cared for by you senior sisters these days, so please accept them!"

Although the idea of ​​giving the gift was from You Suti, it would definitely be more appropriate for Ji Lingruo to deliver it.

The senior sisters were overjoyed and thanked the two repeatedly.

These gifts are not expensive, but they are very much in line with the women's wishes, which shows the intentions of the gift givers.

For example, the gift that Yutong, the youngest child, received was a string of candied haws that was said to be good enough to lick for a year. The slogan was that if you finish them in a year, you can buy a new string the next year.

Yutong was very satisfied with the gift. She opened the package directly, put the candied haws into her cherry mouth, and couldn't wait to suck it.

But before she had held it in her mouth for long, she pulled out the candied haws that was still dripping with saliva, covered her sore cheeks and said angrily:
"No wonder they say it can last for a year. My teeth are almost falling out from the sweetness. Who can eat two more bites? If I lick it once, can't I eat it for a year?"

Everyone burst into laughter upon hearing this, and the atmosphere became more lively and bustling, as they all gathered together to see whose gift was the most novel.

The third elder watched quietly, and when he saw the disciples having so much fun, the corners of his mouth curled up slightly, but a slight sour feeling arose in his heart.

This Ling Ruo is too ignorant. Although I am over 300 years old, don’t I deserve to receive a gift? I don’t want you to give me anything expensive.

In fact, if the Third Elder had been more polite to the man, the gifts she would have received would have piled up like a mountain, but she would always just give the things given by men to dogs on the street.

But even so, what woman doesn't look forward to receiving gifts?
"Third Elder, You Su has received a lot of help since he came to the mountain. Please accept this little gift."

A soft voice called out to the Third Elder, but it did not disturb the thin and plump people who were making a fuss nearby.

The beautiful woman looked at You Su holding the exquisite brocade box in surprise, her beautiful eyes flickering with a complicated meaning.

"It's just a simple favor. I've asked you to do a lot of favors, so forget about the gifts."

"Third Elder, you are joking. There are many people who can help you, but you chose You Su. This shows that you respect him. You Su has not seen much of the world. You must accept this small gift, otherwise I will be ashamed."

Are you ashamed?

The third elder crossed his arms over his chest, feeling somewhat uncomfortable in his heart again, and rubbed it quietly with his arms.

"In that case, I will accept it with a smile."

You Su obediently handed over the brocade box, and the Third Elder slowly opened it, her beautiful eyes widening instantly. She saw a box of colorful soil in the two palm-sized brocade boxes.

"Is this the five-colored soil at the bottom of Yuhuan Pond?!"

"Exactly."

After the Yuhuan Pond Incident, Venerable Chengtao gave You Su a Qiankun bag as a reward, which contained a box of this precious five-colored soil. The lotus flowers and lotus roots in the Yuhuan Pond all took root in the five-colored soil.

He gave the Qiankun bag to his junior sister. It was also when they were talking about it by chance that he remembered that this strange soil might be more useful to the third elder who liked to grow spiritual plants.

The third elder was silent for a moment, then sighed, "You are thoughtful."

She finally realized that her position in You Su's heart was still not low. That day, You Su spoke the truth after drinking, and it was not a lie that he would not betray Bihua Peak.

"This is what You Su should do."

"After the Jade Ring Pool was closed, the Five-Colored Soil disappeared from the outside world. You gave me such a valuable gift, what do you want me to give you in return? Don't say that you don't have to return the gift. After all, I am also a venerable. It is not right for me to accept the favor of a junior for nothing."

You Su was prepared, "I want the Third Elder to give me a bottle of wine, not intoxicating, but just a drink to soothe me."

"liquor?"

The third elder frowned slightly, inevitably becoming nervous.

Why did You Su come to me for wine for no reason? This was the first time. Did he not only remember what happened that day, but also planned to insult me ​​in person?
If he is such a bold person, I will never swallow my anger!

"What do you want wine for?!"

You Su thought about it and decided to do it with the Third Elder first and report later, so as to avoid any setbacks in his marriage with his senior sister. So he concealed the key information and said:

"Today, our master wants the four of us to get together and celebrate, so I want to ask for a bottle of wine that won't make you drunk."

The third elder suddenly realized that he was overthinking.

I knew You Su wasn't the kind of person who would act recklessly...

The fact that You Su had the nerve to ask her for wine showed that he had nothing to hide.

This is not okay...

The third elder was also determined that he would not suffer in vain and must trap this young man.

Suddenly, a glass wine jar appeared in the beautiful woman's hand, and the jar contained milky white nectar.

You Su only smelled a rich milky aroma, which was very pleasant, and thought to himself that it must be a good wine.

The name of the wine that the Third Elder immediately said made his eyelids twitch and he almost knelt down to apologize.

"It's milk wine."
