Fairy, Don't Be Afraid, I Am Blind

"Mr. Jiyuan, this person belongs to our Profound Sky Sect. He should be brought back by me. What do you mean by this?"

"Young friend, please be patient. Let me first examine him. If the child is unharmed, I will naturally hand him over."

"Our Profound Sky Sect also has physicians, so there’s no need to trouble Mr. Jiyuan."

"Not quite... The child is not seriously injured, but all these Sword Cultivators claim he and Mr. He have apprenticed under this demonic master, and battled alongside him. If the situation isn’t clear, my heart will be unsettled..."

The speaking old man had a slightly hunched back and gray hair. His old crimson robe was covered with medicine pouches, containing rare herbs and pills, burdening him even more under their weight, yet he did not unload them.

This was the renowned physician, Mr. Jiyuan, from Zhongyuan Continent. Because he belonged to no sect, but often traveled and saved numerous lives, he was highly esteemed in Zhongyuan Continent.

Behind Mr. Jiyuan were two Void Realm Venerables stationed.

They were the Venerables nearest to the Spirit Void Mountain Range and rushed there as soon as they sensed something amiss.

One of them was the Grand Elder of Hualan Sect, the largest sect in the northern Zhongyuan Continent, while the other Venerable was the former Patriarch of Henggao City’s Ye Family — Ye Langtian, Venerable Langtian.

He had been concerned about his granddaughter, thus staying at a distance where he could arrive promptly. Ye Erong hid behind her sprightly grandfather, trembling fearfully.

And the one opposing these three Venerables turned out to be a little girl in a pink dress.

She had bright eyes and pearly teeth, with a delicate sculptured appearance. Though she wasn’t tall, her face gave the impression of a girl around fifteen or sixteen, yet she had a noticeably full chest, making her embroidered peach blossom jacket bulge, greatly contrasting her youthful features.

Furrowing her slender brows, she silently cast a spell, transmitting her voice to the elder before her:

"Mr. Jiyuan, these two individuals, one is Lotus Sword Venerable’s disciple, the other is the He Family’s eldest young master. If you escalate the situation, it will look bad..."

Mr. Jiyuan merely pulled a wry smile at his dried lips, didn’t transmit his voice but spoke frankly:

"No matter who stands behind them, I must ensure they haven’t been tainted by evil influence."

The rescued Sword Cultivators gathered around and loudly echoed:

"That’s right! A thorough check is essential! We must not give any opportunity to evil!"

They harbored no animosity towards You Su and He Kongyue, but were filled with resentment against Mr. Chengying, who had frightened them to their wits’ end.

Roused by the shouting, You Su opened his eyes, finding confusion before him.

The first thing upon awakening was to look for He Kongyue. He released his Divine Sense and discovered him lying right beside him, which soothed his mind considerably.

"Good that you’re awake, then we’ll test you first."

As Mr. Jiyuan finished speaking, You Su, who had just woken and hadn’t grasped the situation, was lifted into the sky by a force.

He wished to struggle, yet couldn’t.

Beneath him was an array disc formed of a six-pointed star, its light flowed with hidden golden threads winding around.

"Grandpa... Mr. You saved me; he’s not a bad person, please don’t target him."

Ye Erong nervously tugged at her grandfather’s sleeve, looking at You Su with a distressed expression.

Ye Langtian raised his thick brows, focused on You Su for a moment, and reassuringly smiled:

"With grandpa here, he will be fine."

You Su, not understanding the situation, was about to call out when suddenly a voice reached his ears:

"I am Yaoyao, Hua Jing’s personal maidservant and True Disciple of Profound Sky Sect’s Fifth Elder, your fellow sect senior sister. Do not be afraid, Mr. Jiyuan is testing if you’re tainted by evil. If you’re untainted, shake your head and let the old man finish the test. If you’re tainted, nod, and I’ll forcibly disrupt his test."

You Su turned with surprise to see the woman transmitting the voice to him was indeed that girl.

This name was familiar to him; during his journey with Zi Yiyi by carriage to Return God Mountain, they had mentioned Hua Jing having two personal maids. One was named Yaoyao, adept at swordsmanship and held a position under Mr. Chihong, while Zi Yiyi excelled in magic, following Hua Jing closely.

Unexpectedly, he encountered the other so soon. You Su subtly shook his head in the opposite direction, and the ceremony continued.

He didn’t believe he would be found relating to evil influence. If so, surely the Exorcism Bureau would have detected it already.

The golden thread in the array disc felt alive, burrowing into You Su’s palm, coursing through his body in a complete cycle, then emerging from his palm.

Mr. Jiyuan observed the golden thread, still shimmering intensely, with surprise in his eyes:

"The boy is unharmed, still a cultivator of the Human Race."

Thus, You Su was released.

As the elder observed him he marveled inwardly, his Sedating Gold Needle was sensitive to impurities in the body, thus capable of detecting evil. Yet upon returning from the boy’s body it seemed reluctant to leave, an uncommon occurrence for one in the Spirit Platform Realm, indicating the astounding purity of his essence, unprecedented.

At his words, Yaoyao was relieved, patting her own full chest:

"Mr. Jiyuan is overreacting, it’s just taking on a master, nothing as frightening as you think..."

"Mr. You was only accepted as the senior disciple, hasn’t even completed the ceremonial bow to the master. But Mr. He is different, he completed it!"

Someone shouted loudly from among the crowd.
