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

Chapter 302 You Can Still Stand By Me
At the turn of spring and summer, under the scorching sun.

Deep in the Falling Star Valley, the trees are lush and green, flowers are blooming under the trees, and birds can be heard from time to time, making the place seem full of vitality.

Mottled light and shadows leaked through the gaps between the leaves, sprinkling on the lapels of the monks, making them look as if they were in a trance.

But the wind blowing across the valley still carried with it the peculiar smell of desolate dust of Fallen Star Valley.

They were monks from the Exorcism Division stationed outside the valley. This morning, they were suddenly allowed to enter the valley to check the results of the exorcism. But they hadn't done anything yet. They had only been on guard for a few days, and hadn't even seen the shadow of any evil spirits. Walking deep into the valley, I felt like I was trapped in a maze.

Because the difference between here and the shallow valley is so great, it's like a completely different world.

In their minds, Luoxing Valley had long been completely cultivated and desolate, with not even a blade of grass growing on it. Even the poorest civilians had abandoned this land.

It was like a sponge that had been completely squeezed dry of all the water, but unexpectedly, water appeared in the very center of the sponge.

"So, all of this... was accomplished by that Buddha in mind?"

The person who spoke was a middle-aged male cultivator with ordinary looks. Since his hometown was in the city on the edge of Luoxing Valley, he knew this land very well.

As a clerk sent by the Exorcism Department, he needed to record the process of the evil spirit being exorcised and to verify it. However, he still couldn't believe the scene in front of him.

"Uncle Lu, how serious a crime is it to fabricate the process of exorcising evil spirits? Don't I know that?"

Tao Yaoyao curled her pink lips, looking playfully displeased after being questioned.

She was wearing an orange-pink dress, and her oval face was still childish. Her black hair was tied into symmetrical buns, which made her cheeks look even whiter. She looked like a petite and cute girl next door, the kind who would buy a lot of buns and stuff them into her clothes, making her chest bulge.

"I don't mean to question Xiao Tao. Besides, Yousu Shenzi is here. Although he doesn't know much, it basically matches what you said."

You Su nodded silently beside him. He had been unconscious since he was raped by Hua Jing's chief for no apparent reason last night. It was definitely not because he was dying of pleasure, but because his spirit was too weak.

When he woke up again, he was already in Tao Yaoyao's tent. Then, he followed Uncle Lu into the valley as a witness to collect evidence.

"Let's close the case here," Tao Yaoyao urged.

"No hurry, we just came in, we should at least go through all the steps."

Uncle Lu is very serious about his work. After all, this is not a job that can be easily smuggled in. Post-war cleanup is even more important than simply eliminating evil.

Tao Yaoyao felt helpless and had to continue leading the way forward.

"You said... this Falling Star Valley was originally desolate, but now it has come alive because of the evil spirit... Doesn't this mean that the evil spirit..."

Among the monks who were accompanying him, someone was sighing in a low voice, but was suddenly interrupted by Uncle Lu's stern voice:

"What does that mean?! Lu Mingzhao, be careful with your words and actions!"

Just by listening to the last name, one can tell that Lu Mingzhao probably has a close relationship with Uncle Lu.

Lu Mingzhao was indeed honest and didn't dare to speak nonsense anymore.

Soon, the altar used to worship the Buddha of thought arrived.

Everyone looked at the deep pool in the desolate valley and was shocked by the strange power that could create something out of nothing.

Tao Yaoyao then continued to give a brief account of their process of exorcising the evil spirits:
At first, she learned that there was a Buddhist altar in the deep valley, so she hid there with Hua Jing abbot and confirmed that this was the source of the evil in the valley.

Zi Yiyi killed the glass Buddha, only to find out that it was not the real Buddha. But she was seriously injured, so Tao Yaoyao placed her in the camp first.

Then You Su followed the abbot Hua Jing to track down the real Xinxiang Buddha and finally succeeded in eliminating the evil.

Under the guidance of Tao Yaoyao, Uncle Lu recounted the process of the battle one by one. Although the evil spirits would turn into pus and dissolve into the earth after death, the traces of You Su's desperate battle with the evil tide were still preserved.

Uncle Lu admired this Son of God very much and praised him repeatedly, which made You Su feel a little embarrassed, as if he was the key person to purify the Buddha in his heart.

But looking back on this day and night, apart from acting as a bystander and giving a few reminders to Huajing Master, he did not accomplish any other achievements.

Instead, he got a "reward" that he never dared to imagine...

Looking back, it really seemed like a dream.

After the incident, the ink in You Su's pupils gradually faded away, and he still remembered the last look before his sight disappeared.

There was still no trace of lust in the eyes of that most beautiful woman in the world, and he was still unable to find out the true path to the life of Hua Jing's leader. This was not a misunderstanding, but a misunderstanding that should not have happened but was unavoidable.

Compared to the master's wife who passively sealed her heart and locked her love but was actually as gentle as water, and the senior sister who seemed cold but was actually ignorant, You Su felt that Master Huajing was the one who most truly fit the description of the Iceberg Fairy.

Because she is equally indifferent to everyone. This is her natural nature, not the indifference brought to her by any external factors.

After he woke up, he checked the gold paper in his sea of ​​consciousness, but the noble woman did not appear on the column of dependents.

He did inject the evil into it, but it seemed that the woman quietly expelled it from her body after she left, completely.

This was clearly how it should have been, but he felt both fortunate and disappointed.

Even after what happened, he still couldn't get any closer to her. You Su felt that this woman was like a piece of cold silver stone that could never be warmed up, so stubborn.

"Youshenzi, what are you thinking about so obsessed?"

Tao Yaoyao quietly poked You Su with her elbow, then asked through voice transmission.

She had a suspicious look on her face, and felt bitter in her heart as she looked at You Su's lost look.

"You... aren't you worried about Sister Yiyi?"

You Su came back to his senses and nodded quickly.

"She will be fine. Her achievements are still there. Even if she is possessed by evil spirits, the Exorcism Bureau will not take her life..."

Tao Yaoyao hasn't told anyone yet that she let Zi Yiyi go. In her opinion, she just hopes that the people from the Exorcism Bureau will find out as late as possible, so that Zi Yiyi can run away from her.

Otherwise, she would be arrested right after she decided to become an evil cultivator. That would be a waste of her determination to stand by her friends...

After walking for most of the day, we finally completed the exploration of Falling Star Valley.

"I will show the file to the Chief of Huajing. Once she has no objection, the case can be closed."

Uncle Lu adheres to a meticulous work style.

Tao Yaoyao secretly breathed a sigh of relief. She didn't know the truth of the matter and just hoped that her best friend would be exposed later.

The group returned to the camp, only to find that the leader of Huajing, who had disappeared for two days, had returned.

Her face was still shrouded in mist, and no one could look directly into her eyes.

She briefly instructed her subordinates on the tasks of cleanup, and only the young boy and girl were left in the accounting office.

You Su and Tao Yaoyao both became visibly nervous at once, each with their own guilty conscience.

"Yaoyao."

Tao Yaoyao's name was called suddenly, her delicate body trembled, and her waves made people dizzy.

"Yes!"

"According to the law code, those who conceal the fact of someone who has gone astray and fail to report it are considered as harboring someone and are guilty of the same crime as the evil cultivator. Did you know that?" The last bit of hope that Tao Yaoyao had in her heart was gone. She knew that none of this could be hidden from her own Lord Hua Jing.

"Yaoyao knows..."

"Then I asked you to take her to the Exorcist Department to be punished, why did you let her go?"

Tao Yaoyao originally thought that she had gotten used to Master Huajing's usual cold tone, but at this moment she was still trembling with fear.

She stammered with her pink lips, not knowing how to answer, her eyes were red with anxiety, and she was inconsolable. She even blamed Master Huajing in her heart. If there hadn't been this test, she wouldn't have parted ways with her sisters.

Seeing that the atmosphere was becoming increasingly tense, You Su felt that Hua Jingzuo's accusations were not well-founded.

It was obvious that if she didn't want to let Zi Yiyi go, Zi Yiyi would be unable to escape even if she had wings.

"She disappointed me a lot, and I don't want you to disappoint me too. Otherwise, there would be no need for me to accept you as my personal servants. Do you understand?"

"Yaoyao understands..."

Tao Yaoyao bit her lower lip, and bright red blood oozed out from the wound.

Before these two women, Master Huajing had no one close to him, and all his attention was devoted to eliminating evil and defending the Way.

Everyone secretly thought in their hearts that although these two women were called personal servants, they were actually more like adopted daughters. Master Huajing knew that he was getting old, so he wanted to train two successors and then adopted them.

After being asked this by Master Hua Jing, the resentment in Tao Yaoyao's heart disappeared without a trace.

You Su also understood that Master Huajing wanted to teach Tao Yaoyao a lesson. Although she acquiesced to Zi Yiyi letting her go, she still wanted Tao Yaoyao to remember this and not to do it again.

She also took great pains to take care of these two goddaughters-like servants.

You Su suddenly thought shamelessly, I wonder when I can become a special person to her?

I'm afraid it's impossible...

"I will not hide the truth for her. I will make known to the world the fact that she has turned to the devil, because since she has chosen this path, she deserves it. If you want to atone for your sins, arrest her as soon as possible so that I can clean up my mess."

The voice of Master Huajing was like a cold spring. Even though Tao Yaoyao was naive, she could sense a different meaning from it.

She was terribly frightened just now, but now it seems that Master Huajing doesn't really want her to be guilty of the same crime.

And if Lord Hua Jing really wants to clean up the mess, wouldn't it be better for him to just go and capture Sister Yiyi himself?

"Yes! Yaoyao will bring the traitor back and make him kowtow and admit his fault in front of you!"

Tao Yaoyao regained her spirits. She clenched her fists and looked confident, which was a complete change from her previous lazy demeanor.

After beating Tao Yaoyao, it was naturally You Su's turn next.

You Suxin's heart was also in her throat. She felt that she would not be so nervous even if she faced the evil god head-on.

"The key to cracking the Buddha of Thought is the Son of God. This trip is all thanks to the help of the Son of God. I will record your merit. Now that we have finished our work here, the Son of God can return first. Yaoyao will take you back and bring the information to the sacred mountain."

I didn't expect that as soon as I opened my mouth, I was chased away.

You Su pursed his lips, thinking that Master Hua Jing's attitude towards him really had not changed at all.

It had always been his wish to finish the work early and go back to celebrate his junior sister's birthday, but now he felt a little reluctant.

"The words of the chief monk Hua Jing are serious, You Su dare not take credit for it." You Su hesitated for a moment, but still spoke, "I think the Buddha has been eliminated, so you won't leave?"

"This evil is too vicious, and we must not be careless in clearing out the remaining evil. Moreover, I have already explored the strata of Falling Star Valley, and indeed there is a spring that can be drawn. This desolate valley has finally regained its vitality, and I will help it to the end."

You Su was slightly startled when he heard this, and praised, "If Master Huajing can really make this Falling Star Valley full of vitality, you will be the real reincarnation of the True Buddha to the people around here."

“That’s not a nice word.”

Tao Yaoyao raised her eyebrows slightly, not understanding the meaning behind their words.

She just felt secretly strange in her heart. Since Lord Hua Jing was only concerned with exorcising evil spirits, why would he also do something like investigating water sources which had nothing to do with evil spirits?

The two bowed and left, but You Su paused before taking the last step, and heard a cold whisper in his ears:
"If you are still in a trance, please come find me. I hope that you can still stand by my side when I cut off the head of the Dream Master."

You Su suddenly felt extremely happy, as if the female classmate who was rude to everyone in the school suddenly smiled at you.

This sentence is obviously normal. It means that the author hopes You Su can continue to stick to his original intention and always stand on the side of righteousness represented by Hua Jing's leader.

But You Su wondered why he had to say "around"? He couldn't help but let his imagination run wild...

……

High in the sky, clouds are flying by.

It was still the familiar white horse sedan. You Su was already familiar with the interior of this magical instrument.

Unfortunately, things have changed. The days when I and Junior Sister Zi Yiyi and I squeezed in a sedan chair to travel together seem like yesterday, but Sister Yiyi is no longer here.

Tao Yaoyao was also feeling melancholy, staring out the window in a daze.

Although she had a brief exchange with You Su, she still didn't know that her master had fallen into evil and then been eliminated. After all, this was one of the greatest leaders of the cultivators, and this news was enough to shock the entire Five Continents and bring unimaginable consequences.

However, Tao Yaoyao was a cheerful person after all. Thinking of the oath she made in front of Zi Yiyi, she felt a little uncomfortable being alone with You Su.

"Um...Last night, Master Hua Jing said he would marry me to you. He was just joking..."

Tao Yaoyao picked up a piece of cake and a blush appeared on her pretty face.

"Don't worry, Sister Yaoyao. I didn't take it seriously." You Su answered lightly.

The cake in Tao Yaoyao's hand was suddenly pinched and deformed. Her cheeks puffed up slightly, and she crossed her arms over her chest, saying angrily:
"What do you mean by that? Can the Son of God just look down on others at will?"

"Sister Yaoyao, you misunderstood. I didn't mean that." You Su didn't know what he had done to annoy the girl.

"So you are not interested in me?" Tao Yaoyao glanced at You Su's handsome face. "If Master Hua Jing said he wanted to marry Sister Yi Yi to you, you would nod immediately."

You Su only felt that the girl was naive and that he was really interested in someone else.

He recalled Tao Yaoyao's confession in front of Zi Yiyi last night. The young leader of Lingbao Sect angered Tao Yaoyao because of his favoritism.

I think she must be annoyed about this at the moment. Sisters who have been together since childhood like to fight for equality in everything.

"Whether it's Sister Yaoyao or Sister Yiyi, it's the same. I know that what Master Huajing said is just a provocation and can't be taken seriously."

"You know the truth."

Tao Yaoyao felt a little better and put the pastry into her mouth, but suddenly she felt scared.

Even though she spoke so disrespectfully, the Son of God did not get angry, but remained approachable. It was as if he did not regard her as a subordinate at all, but as a friend.

She looked at You Su's face and suddenly felt that You Su was a really nice person. No wonder so many people liked her, even men were not spared.

"Come to think of it... He Kongyue's retreat seems to be nearby. Do you want to go take a look?"
