Fairy, Don't Be Afraid, I Am Blind

In Henggao City, the streets were bustling with traffic and people, the towering buildings and thriving shops creating a lively scene.

You Su walked down the street, pondering what gift to buy for the meeting.

He had visited the He Family twice before, the first time to investigate matters concerning his Master, and the second time to escort He Kongyue home yesterday.

This visit to the He Family was different from the past. This time, it was an official invitation from the family patriarch, so he couldn’t show up empty-handed.

Moreover... this was his Master’s father...

Broadly speaking, he could even call the other "Grandmaster," which meant he couldn’t be negligent.

But the question was, for the first meeting... what on earth should he bring?

You Su was truly troubled by this.

...

In one corner of the study.

The slanting sunlight streamed in, coating the quiet space with a layer of golden light.

He Kongyue sat by the table, dressed in a flowing robe of dusk gray, her hair tied with a band, exuding heroism between her brows, but her eyes betrayed visible regret.

Exhausted from the journey, she was indeed very tired. But in truth, she hadn’t slept a wink the previous night, tossing and turning on the bed, holding the Xuanji Order and waiting for a response. Even a brief reply like "Let’s talk tomorrow" would have allowed her to close her eyes in peace.

However, it seemed You Su had forgotten about their arrangement to use the Xuanji Order to keep in touch, leaving her in a dilemma of anticipation and resignation throughout the sleepless night, resulting in her bombarding him with messages in a bid to catch his attention.

But it was like a weight dropped onto a blanket—no response.

He Kongyue didn’t know why she felt this way, it was just a reply. If You Su saw the messages, he would definitely respond, he would never intentionally ignore her, but she still felt very disappointed.

Maybe You Su really forgot, or maybe he was busy with something else...

But what could he be busy with for an entire night?

Primordial Qi, relations... Absence makes the heart grow fonder, does it...

The image of that girl in a green dress floated in He Kongyue’s mind, inexplicably bringing a wave of bitterness to her heart.

No no no, Mr. You should be exhausted from traveling and fell asleep as soon as he lay down.

Yeah, that must be it.

It wasn’t until bright daylight outside that He Kongyue, rubbing her sore eyes, realized that she had been brooding for an entire night.

When he sees all the messages I’ve sent in the morning, will he feel pressured? Or find me annoying?

He Kongyue was deeply annoyed, wishing the Xuanji Order could have a message recall feature!

But alas, there’s no remedy for regret, and He Kongyue had no choice but to get up and use morning practice to numb herself, trying not to think about You Su not responding.

Yet this pretense didn’t last long, and He Kongyue felt frustrated, thinking if this continued, she wouldn’t be able to do anything.

No! Today she must see You Su face to face!

And then warn him that messages transferred by the Xuanji Order could be life-threatening, important messages that must be read and replied to immediately!

But what excuse could she use to lure You Su over?

He Kongyue thought over and over, feeling it inconvenient to extend an invitation using her own name, not because of the barrage of messages sent overnight and feeling embarrassed. After all, they had just parted yesterday, it would be easy for You Su to feel that she was being too clingy.

You Su was so eager to have that woman return to the He Family...

So she decided to invite him under her father’s name!

He would come to the He Family without hesitation upon seeing it!

After all, her father was now eccentric, practically self-imposing a retreat in his room, so even if You Su came, it was impossible for him to see her father.

As it turned out, her plan had not failed.

You Su finally replied to her message and was already on his way.

But now the problem was how to explain to You Su that her father suddenly wasn’t available to see him?

"Master, Mr. You has arrived."

Outside, the maid’s voice broke He Kongyue’s deep thoughts.

"Ahem, let him in."

He Kongyue quickly rubbed her face and straightened her collar, as if she forgot You Su was blind.

The wooden door was silently pushed open, and He Kongyue’s eyes lit up.

So beautiful...

Wait, is that You Su?!

This blind man... why did he put on subtle makeup?!

You Su stood with a tall and slim frame, striking features, and fair skin like a freshly peeled egg; his black hair, like ink, was tied behind his neck with a jade hairpin; he had donned a blue long robe, quite different from his usual style, with fluttering sleeves akin to a gentle breeze on water, fresh and elegant.

"Mr. You, what kind of blow did you suffer this time?"

He Kongyue rose to greet him, momentarily unadapted to You Su’s... gentle style.

She had always thought that You Su was very handsome, his usual dressing style fit his low-key and steady personality, just looking at him, one would find him very masculine and resolute.

But today, he seemed so gentle, transforming from a reserved and deep young swordsman into a gentle and clear scholar.

You Su instinctively spread his hands, frowning:

"Mr. He, do you think my outfit doesn’t look good?"

"It’s not that... Mr. You may not know, but with a face like yours, you could get freebies at Phoenix Perch Tower."

Phoenix Perch Tower was the largest brothel in Henggao City, leading in various aspects like decor and service in the Zhongyuan Continent.

"Looks like Mr. He has done quite a bit of that." You Su walked into the room with a playful remark, "I was worried that Mr. He would find my attire improper. As long as it’s decent, then my silver wasn’t spent in vain."

"Silver? What silver did you spend?"

He Kongyue led You Su to sit down, refilling her own cup of tea.
