Fairy, Don't Be Afraid, I Am Blind

The next day, on Lotus Peak.

The Third Elder had an elegant demeanor and walked with light steps.

She wore a long flowing dress, the hem swaying gently with her steps like a blossom fluttering in the wind.

In fact, she hadn’t deliberately concealed her presence; it’s just that with her innate affinity to plants and trees, after reaching the Void Realm, she naturally blended with nature.

Thinking back, it had been some time since she last visited Lotus Peak.

Nowadays, Bihua Pavilion was busily preparing for its grand opening, and she was caught up with various affairs.

The reason for this visit was firstly to deliver a letter sent by the Snake Clan Leader of the East Japan Continent to Lingruo, and secondly, to check on the recovery progress of the Lotus Sword Venerable, and thirdly...

To have You Su inspect the preparations at Bihua Peak and offer some advice to the current disciples.

Honestly, the Third Elder felt slightly awkward having to personally ’invite’ You Su this time.

She had thought You Su would be as concerned about Bihua Pavilion, considering he had invested quite some effort. But who would have expected this blind man, after asking her to be gentle with him that night, never showed up again!

So many beautiful female cultivators at Bihua Peak yearn for you, yet you remain unmoved? Are you blind?

Seems he really is blind...

Despite some resentment, the Third Elder was also somewhat pleased.

Because You Su was truly different from other men; facing so many admiring senior sisters, he wasn’t proud or eager, but rather treated them with indifference, embodying the demeanor of a gentleman.

Thinking this, the Third Elder had already reached the courtyard outside.

Suddenly, the voluptuous beauty knitted her brows, looking at the birds in the trees.

They weren’t chirping...

Then where was that melodious singing coming from?

Not knowing why, the Third Elder felt the singing was somewhat blush-inducing, yet... strangely familiar.

Her beautiful eyes widened, looking towards the source of the sound — You Su’s room!

She concentrated her Divine Sense, detecting two presences inside the room!

This blind fool, what is he doing to Lingruo!!

The Third Elder, overcome with anger, had just been praising You Su as a gentleman, only to catch him supposedly harassing a woman — how could she accept it.

In an instant, she arrived at You Su’s door, only to find it wasn’t even locked!

"Junior sister, lower your voice a bit... am I using too much force?"

Bastard!

With a loud crash, the door swung open, and the Third Elder glared angrily, meeting Ji Lingruo’s panicked eyes, both of them staring at each other.

Yet the imagined scene of Lingruo’s disheveled clothes didn’t appear; both were in casual dress, not in some intimate entanglement.

"Third Elder, you’re here!"

You Su withdrew the Mo Song Sword sheath from Ji Lingruo’s back and laughed heartily.

"Third Elder..."

Ji Lingruo bowed her head to greet, her face slightly red with embarrassment.

"Hmm, what are you two doing?"

The Third Elder’s charming eyes suspiciously surveyed the two, her delicate nose twitching, not missing a single clue.

"Junior sister recently practiced swordsmanship too hard, complaining of body aches, so I used the sword sheath to massage and relax her muscles."

You Su spoke sincerely, calmly, with no hint of guilt.

"Lingruo, is that the case?"

Ji Lingruo’s face flushed redder, but she nodded.

The Third Elder noticed some implication, so she stepped forward, gently caressing the girl’s head, letting her Cyan Qi flow gently into her.

The Third Elder observed closely, realizing the girl indeed seemed fatigued recently:

"Practicing swordsmanship should be paced, cultivation thrives on gradual progress, not impulsive spurs. Remember to balance practice with relaxation."

Ji Lingruo obediently nodded, yet she knew the cause of her fatigue wasn’t just sword practice, although attributing it to ’sword practice’ wasn’t entirely inaccurate...

"Junior sister recently acquired an Immortal Sword and couldn’t part with it, eager to become acquainted, so it’s understandable to be diligent. I will remind her to take it easy." You Su softly explained.

The Third Elder felt a slight shock, disbelieving how You Su casually mentioned those words.

"Immortal Sword?!"

Ji Lingruo retrieved the newly radiant Chengying Sword from her Qiankun Bag; as soon as it emerged, the sharp aura of the blade induced a natural aversion.

"It was a gift from senior brother..."

The Third Elder was astonishingly surprised, finding it hard to believe.

She had seen quite a few Immortal Swords, yet it was the first time seeing someone at the Middle Spirit Platform Realm wielding one.

Being knowledgeable, she recognized the sword’s style, recalling recent news, identifying it as the renowned Chengying Sword.

The beautiful woman shifted her complex gaze to You Su:

"It was said the Chengying Sword vanished without a trace, who knew you acquired it?"

"Just a stroke of luck." You Su’s smile was modest.

"A few days ago, I saw the skies over Lotus Peak suddenly change, Sword Qi soaring, thinking your master was recovering, only to find it was Lingruo who gained the Chengying’s allegiance, truly promising."

The Third Elder praised generously.

"Thank you, Third Elder, for your high expectations. It’s all thanks to senior brother’s effort; Lingruo will work hard."

"Yes, work hard, so not to let down your senior brother’s sentiments."

The Third Elder glanced approvingly at You Su, elevating the young man a few more notches in her heart.

If she remembered right, You Su’s swords weren’t Immortal Swords, yet he generously gifted an Immortal Sword to his junior sister—such generosity, especially precious, even the Third Elder couldn’t find any fault in it.

Thus, she kindly invoked a spell, nurturing the girl’s body with her Cyan Qi.

Before long, Ji Lingruo felt all her fatigue vanish, her mind clear, and she could continue fighting three hundred more rounds without issue.

"Thank you, Third Elder!" Ji Lingruo sweetly thanked.
