Fairy, Don't Be Afraid, I Am Blind

The moon hung in the sky like a silver plate, emitting a gentle moonlight that draped a mysterious and gentle silver veil over the earth.

The voluptuous Third Elder stood in the open space, taking a light sip of fine wine with a greedy look, then casually placed the jade wine gourd on the stone beside her. The clear light spilled down, and the Third Elder’s shadow under the moon was indistinguishable from that of the jade gourd.

The cold wind gently brushed, and You Su sobered up a bit.

So he stopped behind the Third Elder, silently waiting for the other to speak first.

"This time at Bihua Pavilion, it was all thanks to you."

The Third Elder turned around, her gaze somewhat softened.

Previously, no matter how satisfied she was with You Su, her eyes always carried thorns, a habit when she looked at men. She would pierce any undesired fantasies before they even sprouted.

But now, for this blind man who helped her greatly, she found it hard to categorize him with ordinary men.

"Third Elder, you’re too kind. I just wanted to earn some money."

"Your share of the profit certainly won’t be shortchanged."

The Third Elder nodded slightly. You Su didn’t boast about his merit, and his honest candor made her even more satisfied. If an ordinary man had such an achievement as saving the efforts of several female cultivators, he would have long become arrogant and delusional.

"You helped revive Bihua Pavilion, so I should give you some reward. What do you want?"

You Su pondered for a moment and then said:

"I don’t need any reward. Actually, I can see that with the temperament of my master and senior sister, they won’t be able to hold the position of Lotus Peak without Third Elder’s help behind the scenes. Since Third Elder never asked for anything in return, I should not accept any reward for helping Third Elder."

The Third Elder was somewhat taken aback, surprised by You Su’s keen insight. She had never claimed her contributions to Lotus Peak, but You Su, as a newcomer disciple, had noted all this in his heart.

"I never thought Lotus Peak owed me anything, and even if it did, why would you need to repay it?"

"That’s where you’re wrong, Third Elder. I belong to Lotus Peak, so why shouldn’t I repay it?" You Su blinked, "Moreover, this isn’t repayment. Third Elder is a friend of my master, and mutual assistance between friends is normal. If we begin to calculate gains and losses, it would create estrangement."

The Third Elder pursed her red lips, "Let’s not talk about the reward, then. Tell me, do you have any requests?"

"What request?" You Su asked in surprise.

The Third Elder shot him a coquettish look, "A wager!"

Only then did You Su remember the wager he had made with the Third Elder. Of course, he wouldn’t claim the generous gift since helping was primarily to make his junior and senior sisters happy.

"I, Mr. Bihua, have never been one to break a promise. Since you don’t want a gift, you cannot refuse your request, so speak up." The Third Elder said with determination.

Hearing this, You Su hesitated. To be honest, his recent life had been too smooth, and he was lacking nothing. To suddenly command an immortal of the Void Realm, he really didn’t know what to ask.

He thought for a while, then beamed with surprise, "Anything reasonable is possible?"

Recalling You Su’s excited eyes during the initial wager, now identical, the Third Elder wondered what this blind man had thought of to be so excited...

The Third Elder instinctively straightened her posture, standing taller:

"Any reasonable request is acceptable."

"Then, please, Third Elder..."

As expected, it involved her!

The Third Elder clenched her molars with hidden anger, suspecting this blind man was like those other lecherous men drooling over her!

"Please speak to me more gently, Third Elder, in the future."

?

The Third Elder stood frozen, a blush of shame rising upon her seductive face, bringing a unique charm:

"That’s it?"

"Actually, I can feel that Third Elder doesn’t particularly like me, which is why your words to me subtly carry thorns. Third Elder is a respected elder whom I admire, and I’ve been trying hard to change your view of me, but to no avail. Although I’m strong, my heart is made of flesh. That night, when I wanted to help you, your first reaction was to shut me out. I didn’t say it, but it hurt. I want to take this chance to understand your opinion of me; if there is a misunderstanding, it can be promptly resolved. I really don’t want you to have a prejudice against me, Third Elder."

You Su spoke gently, bowing his head, hands folded at his forehead in salute, his attitude extremely earnest.

Listening to You Su’s explanation, the Third Elder realized how much harm her usual poor attitude toward men had caused this young boy.

All he earnestly wanted was to build a good relationship with his elder, yet he faced an inexplicable coldness time and again.

If it were other men, she wouldn’t care; let them be sad. But precisely, it was You Su who had been so generous to her, and he could have used this request to make a significant demand, yet he sought only to remove a misunderstanding.

The Third Elder felt complex emotions, unable to speak harshly as she looked at You Su’s respectful bow:

"I don’t have a misunderstanding; it’s you who do. Honestly, you’re the most exceptional junior I’ve ever met, and I have no reason not to like you. You’re overthinking it."

"Really?"

You Su raised his head, looking at the Third Elder with surprise, his eyes filled with disbelief.

"Of course."

The Third Elder’s pretty face turned slightly red, the intoxicating Immortal Brew gradually taking effect.

It was the first time she ever told a man, ’I have no reason not to like you,’ even though she knew it was the affection from an elder to a junior, it still made her face burn.

"Enough, I was harder on you because your master spoiled you too much, so I hoped to encourage you. But seeing your performance, you’re not someone needing supervision, and henceforth I’ll treat you as I would my beloved apprentices."
