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

Chapter 447: Immortal Ancestor's Message; Returning Victoriously
In the dark room of the Jade Curtain Flying Boat, You Su's fingertips were stroking the pearl buttons on Venerable Qianhua's cheongsam.

This black and gold cheongsam is exquisitely made, except for the two buttons which are pink.

Gold-rimmed glasses hung diagonally on the bridge of the woman's nose. Behind the lenses, her eyes sparkled like spring water, and the sigh that escaped from her lips was wrapped in the scent of cedar:
"My master rejected the supplier of this snow silk. How is he going to compensate me..."

Before he finished speaking, Venerable Qianhua's pupils suddenly shrank, and a silk ribbon shot out from his sleeve, rolling the scattered dress into the shadow behind the screen.

Before You Su could react to what was happening, his hands were tied up with silk and he was brutally pressed on the table.

This kind of "turning the tables and becoming the master" move made You Su subconsciously angry, but when he saw the other party's sudden serious expression, he probably guessed the reason, and cooperated obediently as if they had telepathy, and did not resist.

"Master Da, do you know that this flying boat is mine? Not only this flying boat, but everything in it is also mine." Venerable Qianhua's jade finger gently brushed the boy's cheek, like a mature woman teasing a good boy, "Since you volunteered to fall into the trap, why blame me for catching you in the trap?"

It was rare to have the opportunity to tease You Su without getting a fight back, so she enjoyed acting it out very much.

You Su pretended to be willing to die rather than surrender, "Venerable Qianhua, please respect yourself. I didn't know this was your flying boat beforehand. Please let go of the silk, and I will leave immediately."

"Young master, why do you treat me like a snake? Didn't we have a good time the first time? Now that troublesome woman is stuck in the sacred mountain attending a meeting and cannot get away, we should renew our past relationship. As long as you don't say anything and I don't say anything, how can she know?" Venerable Qianhua caught You Su's handle.

You Su raised his eyebrows slightly. Anyone who has raised a dog knows that a puppy cannot touch the sausage without permission, so he took Venerable Qianhua's arrogance to heart.

"Your Excellency, please don't make it difficult for me. It wasn't my own will the first time. Your Excellency thinks highly of me, and I don't want to disappoint her expectations, so I will definitely not make the same mistake again."

"You think highly of your master. I won't be so fierce this time. I will definitely let you meet someone better than your master, okay?"

The woman's eyes were seductive, as if she was in a play. You Su had to admit that this woman was really good at seducing people.

Just at this moment, the cabin door had been knocked open by the Xuanbing Chijia, and the cold wind wrapped in snow particles blew on his back, making him tremble all over.

As expected, she is here...

Venerable Qianhua had just noticed the arrival of Venerable Qianlong, but it was too late for her to put away her clothes, so she immediately chose to turn the tables, take the blame on herself, and gave You Su a chance to show his loyalty in front of the woman outside the door.

As expected, Venerable Qianlong observed outside the boat for a while before entering. If the two of them were in a hurry to clean up the scene, they would definitely be discovered, and it would be more realistic than acting like this.

You Su was secretly afraid, but he also glanced at Venerable Qianhua, thinking that it was really reassuring to be secretly... with such a smart woman who had full anti-detection awareness and anti-detection methods!

"Venerable Qianhua, what are you doing!"

Venerable Qianlong, who was coming with great momentum, roared loudly, blasting away the charming and warm fragrance in the cabin of the flying boat.

Venerable Qianhua is an excellent actress. With her natural personality, she would not show panic when her good deeds were exposed. She slowly retracted the silk thread and said calmly:

"I saw that your disciple was lonely here, and I was worried that he might be uneasy, so I came to chat with you, young master."

Venerable Qianlong gritted her teeth, her eyes spitting fire. If she hadn't had so many concerns before the battle, she would have taught this woman a lesson on what it meant to follow the rules.

"Didn't I ask you to guard the army? You neglected your duty!"

"My Lord, do you really want to have a war? I thought you just wanted to show off your power and let those people know that the cultivators in the distant mountains are not easy to mess with. I didn't expect that we would really have to fight. I did not act properly, please don't blame me, my Lord." Although she was apologizing, there was no sincerity in her voice.

Her insight into the situation made Venerable Qianlong so angry that he was speechless. After all, everything she said was right, so he could only observe You Su's situation resentfully.

Fortunately, the two people's clothes were still intact, not as messy as the last time they were caught cheating. From the conversation just now, it can be heard that the two seemed to have just started. Therefore, Venerable Qianlong calmed down a little and vowed to never give this woman the chance to be alone with You Su again.

It was just the faint scent of grass and wood in the air that reminded her of the smell of crushed red plum blossoms on a snowy night.

"It seems that the Lord is not in a good mood. I will go to the army for a walk. Please help yourself, Lord." She spread out her palms, letting Lord Qianlong help himself, but what was not so much the tea on the table, but the young man.

After saying this, she turned around, but was stopped when she passed by the Lord.

"Wait a minute, since you are here, let's listen together."

Venerable Qianlong walked towards You Su as he spoke, and took the seat next to You Su first, as if he was waiting for Venerable Qianhua to stand up and give up his seat before calling her.

Venerable Qianhua pushed the gold-wire frame of his glasses, his eyes wandering between the Venerable Lord Beiao and his own master, and he had no choice but to sit opposite him.

"The Heavenly Listening Immortal Official has issued a decree."

As if thunder suddenly struck out of nowhere, the cup that Venerable Qianhua had just raised suddenly hit the table, making a loud noise.

Her gold-wire lenses reflected a cold light: "Is it... Immortal Ancestor Kong Yuan?!"

"The Immortal Ancestor's personal instructions." Venerable Qianlong clenched his hands, and ice crystals condensed into gilded characters in the air. Each stroke seemed to be wrapped in thunder:

"Kong Yuan ordered: Bei Ao Mang Cang, you younger generations, instead of thinking about honing your cultivation, treat the common people as chess pieces, and stain the frozen earth with blood. You all say you want to save the world, but you kill and chop each other, how is it different from evil spirits? This is not what I want to see.

Since the beginning of the chaos, the Bei Ao have respected the strong. Now, a three-level competition is specially set up to prove the great way. The winner will rule the continent, and the loser will stop fighting. If there is any disobedience, the thunder of heaven will strike him. "

When the last word "殛" exploded, the entire flying boat seemed to resonate. You Su held down the trembling Mosong Sword, and in a trance, he seemed to be enveloped by a huge pressure that was invisible.

Such pressure did not make people want to surrender, but it was as if everything about them was controlled by these words and they were powerless, so they could not even have the slightest hope of resisting the punishment of thunder.

You Su's Adam's apple moved slightly, "Can the Immortal Ancestor Temple really pass on the Immortal Ancestor's orders? Didn't they 5,000 years ago ..."

"Just ascend to heaven." Venerable Qianlong immediately interrupted You Su's words. She knew very well that You Su wanted to say the word "death".

You Su also quickly fell silent. He had no respect for the so-called Five Great Immortal Ancestors, but all people's arrogance came from not having seen it with their own eyes. So when he really heard that such a being might still be alive, he naturally dared not speak nonsense anymore.

"The five great immortal ancestors ascended to the sky and built a high wall in the sky to block the extraterritorial demons for us. They have not passed away, they are always here." Venerable Qianlong explained to You Su patiently, "The Immortal Ancestor Temple is an existence that listens to the heavens and governs the world. However, the immortal ancestors' decrees are extremely rare. Unless it is a matter of great impact, the immortal ancestors will not easily turn their attention to the human world."

"The last time a decree came from the sky was the great war to purify evil held by the five continents a hundred years ago, right?" Venerable Qianhua seemed to be thinking about something, and stroked the ice crystal characters with his black satin gloves: "It's just that this decree from Immortal Ancestor Kongyuan came at the perfect time. It didn't come earlier or later, but appeared just when the Lord's army was approaching..."

She crushed a "戈" character with her fingertips, and gold powder fell down. "It seems that the Immortal Ancestor is also afraid that you will really destroy the sacred mountain."

Venerable Qianlong's eyes suddenly turned cold: "Don't talk nonsense about the Immortal Ancestor! I went to the Immortal Ancestor Temple in person, and these words were copied from the armor book carried by the golden turtle!" Venerable Qianhua confirmed the authenticity of the oracle before slowly restraining his frivolous look, "So, this battle really can't be fought? Using the three-level arena to decide who Bei'ao listens to, it seems that you know you are no longer the Venerable Qianlong who can cover the sky with one hand, and want to choose a new lord for Bei'ao."

Her words were blunt, but the truth was there. Venerable Qianlong took a deep breath and said, "Tomorrow at noon, the three levels will begin. I will let them know that before I die, none of them can think of taking charge of Bei'ao."

You Su was also touched by the fighting spirit in the woman's words, and couldn't help asking: "Three levels of the arena, which three levels are you talking about?"

"Each side will send out three Dongxu masters, and the one who wins two games first will win."

"Can you care about life and death?"

"Of course I don't care about life or death!" Venerable Qianlong snorted coldly.

Venerable Qianhua leaned back in his chair, his eyes behind the gold-rimmed lenses as deep as a lake: "I didn't expect that this dispute would end in the simplest and crudest way... But I have to admit that Immortal Ancestor Kongyuan's decree is indeed a return to nature. To decide the victory by setting up a competition is undoubtedly the way to minimize losses for Beiaozhou, and it is also the fastest way to resolve differences. Apart from being a little hasty, it is indeed the most efficient strategy."

"Venerable Qianhua, do you think that the rule of our Beiao that respects the strong is wrong?" Venerable Qianlong lowered his voice.

Venerable Qianhua didn't want to be accused of being a regional black. "I said it was hasty because I was worried whether the Venerable Master and his ilk could definitely win? I'm not worried about the Venerable Master's strength, but it's a best-of-three game. Do you have any candidates for the other two?"

"We already have a candidate."

Venerable Qianlong answered indifferently, but did not say his title. It seemed that he had decided to keep the secret to the end and would probably not reveal a single word until before the war.

Venerable Qianhua did not feel resentful towards the other party's concealment, he just felt that it was human nature. Such a duel is naturally not as simple as you send out the best horse and I send out the inferior horse. The venerables who can be entrusted with important tasks must be the top of Beiao. There is no absolute difference between the strong and the weak, but there is a saying that they can restrain each other. Therefore, it is natural not to expose the participants and give the enemy the opportunity to treat the symptoms.

"Then everything will be revealed tomorrow..." You Su muttered to himself. After the important matters were discussed, he asked with concern, "Venerable Qianlong, where are my senior sister and Bai Ze?"

"After seeing that the Dragon Palace was safe and sound, the Immortal Temple did not want the army to enter the city, so they blocked all the entrances and exits of the sacred mountain. When I return triumphantly tomorrow, you will see them for yourself." Venerable Qianlong gave him a reassuring look.

You Su nodded slightly when he heard this. Looking at this unparalleled beautiful face, he always felt that there was a hint of uneasiness in the eyes of this extremely noble woman.

The experience of accompanying each other all the way came to his mind, and he was surprised to realize how deep the impression this woman left on him. There were many beautiful women around him, and there were also many women with great ambitions, such as Miss Xueruo who was determined to revive the snake clan.

These women would certainly support his ambitions, but it would be difficult for them to understand the burden of saving the world on his shoulders. However, this woman who wanted to kill him when they first met, surprisingly shared the same ambitions with him. Although she only had her sights on Beiao, she would not stand idly by when other continents were in trouble.

It was difficult for You Su to describe his feelings for this woman. She understood him, and he understood her, so it was no exaggeration to describe them as like-minded. That was why he was so scared when he was caught cheating... because he did not want his good image in the heart of this Taoist friend who was hundreds of years older than him to collapse.

He hesitated again and again. Venerable Qianlong saw that he had something to say and kept waiting. He still couldn't help but speak:

"My Lord, just do your best. There is no need to fight to the death. I am not from your Bei'ao. Even if we lose the battle, I will not sit idly by and watch the evil spirits kill innocent people. I am afraid that the thunder of Bei'ao will not be able to strike me."

He deliberately spoke in a light tone, but Venerable Qianlong looked at him in a daze, his breathing slightly stagnant.

A young man actually said such big words that he could protect her in front of her, the Lord of Beiao, but she was not angry, nor did she laugh. Because she knew that what the young man said was true, and he really could ignore the thunder.

This was an emotion that this noble fairy who had lived on the top of the mountain for more than a hundred years had never felt before. It was like an undercurrent surging under the ice. She thought it was just water that was slightly warmer than ice, but she found out it was actually burning magma.

If only I had met him earlier than her... she thought again.

"If you don't have the determination to fight to the death, how can you defeat an opponent who is fighting for his life? Don't worry, I won't lose, and I won't let a outsider like you to care about Beiao's life or death." She chuckled, but the outsider in her words was no longer the xenophobic and harsh one before, but came from the kindness of not wanting You Su to get hurt.

Venerable Qianhua rolled her eyes and felt jealous when she saw the two people's eyes intertwined. The conversation between the two people almost ignored the fake master-disciple relationship, as if she was nothing. The relationship between the two people was not simple no matter how you looked at it, which made her sigh at her master's ability to grasp the peach blossom fate.

This is Lord Bei Ao! Could it be that this young man wants to take all the most noble female cultivators in the world into his pocket?
"I don't know, Your Excellency's beloved disciple is not Beiao's?" She didn't want to continue watching the two of them exchange glances, so she interrupted them deliberately.

Venerable Qianlong finally came back to his senses, and a flash of embarrassment flashed across his snow-white face.

"You just rest here and wait to go into the mountains to meet them tomorrow. But Venerable Qianhua, I have a favor to ask of you." Venerable Qianlong suddenly stood up, choosing to ignore the woman's question, and his tone returned to solemnity.

"Oh? What's the matter?"

"The battle is imminent tomorrow, please discuss it with me, Your Excellency." She said little, her skirt with dragon pattern swept across the broken crystals on the ground, and she walked out of the cabin.

Venerable Qianhua gritted his teeth in anger, knowing that this woman was only interested in discussing the Dao, but the real reason he didn't want her to get close to his master alone!
But You Su's threatening look left her no room to refuse, so she had to clench her fists and walk out the door in disappointment.

You Su looked at the sacred mountain outside the porthole and felt that although the snow here was white, there were always some dark parts of the huge mountain that could not be covered by the snow.

……

The next day, the sky was clear.

The Jade Curtain Flying Boat was suspended in the clouds. You Su looked up at the sky through the ice crystal porthole. The sky was split by red and blue colors. Ice spikes and hexagrams exploded in the air, like a broken glass galaxy.

"In the first round, Venerable Qingsong wins!"

There was a thunderous cheer at the foot of the mountain, and You Su was also excited. The old woman gave him the feeling that she was unfathomable, and the victory was as expected.

"In the second round, Reverend Ningshuang wins!"

The cheers came to an abrupt end. You Su saw the icy mist suddenly rolling in the sky, and the withered face of Venerable Ningshuang was vaguely visible in the mist.

But at this moment, the sky suddenly lit up with an icy blue color.

The figure of Venerable Qianlong emerged from the clouds, with nine black ice dragons coiled around her body. She tapped the air with her toes, and her gorgeous skirt left a long afterimage under the sun, and then disappeared deep into the clouds.

You Su suddenly remembered the frozen millet in the ruins of Dongjing City, which was now lying quietly in her Qiankun bag.

"The third game——"

The cheers exploded like a tsunami.

"The Venerable Qianlong wins!"
