Fairy, Don't Be Afraid, I Am Blind

Hmm?

You Su felt a bit awkward. Although he knew that Master was also a descendant of the Mandarin Duck Sword Sect and should not be as reticent about the Yin Yang Dual Cultivation as others, the other party was, after all, an elder of the opposite sex...

"I’ve been a bit neglectful recently due to being busy with the affairs of Bihua Pavilion... Master, you don’t need to worry, I will address it regularly."

He Shutong fell into thought upon hearing this. Logically, such a loving couple should be deeply passionate with each other, so how could they forget such an important matter?

After hesitating for a moment, she decided to say:

"Do you know why the Mandarin Duck Sword Sect is named after mandarin ducks?"

"Because the sword moves are all derived from mandarin ducks?"

You Su truly didn’t know, but the names of the moves in the Mandarin Duck Sword Scripture were indeed related to birds.

"Because mandarin ducks often live and fly together, they are a symbol of love. Although Heaven and Earth Yin Yang Joy Sect later deteriorated due to promiscuity and other reasons, it was initially believed that Dual Cultivation was a natural method arising from love," He Shutong patiently explained. "Therefore, it should not be treated as a task, nor should you force yourself or your partner. If the woman is unwilling at the moment, you must take good care of her. You and Lingruo are emotionally compatible; she won’t be unreasonable, so do not use the excuse of excess yang energy to coerce her, understand?"

You Su was bewildered, finally understanding that Master was worried about him not releasing excess yang energy and thus upsetting his junior sister.

"Su’Er understands. Do I seem like that kind of person to you, Master?"

He Shutong examined You Su carefully for a while and then smiled, "You are gentle, determined, and understand how to care for women. You certainly do not."

You Su felt joyful inside, as it seemed Master held him in high regard, and he responded thick-skinnedly:

"Master truly has a discerning eye."

You Su was always modest, and the sudden contrast made He Shutong’s lips curl slightly. Seeing him no longer so cautious in front of her and instead showing more of a lively youthfulness, she was very pleased.

However, looking at the handsome and charming You Su, she couldn’t help but feel a bit worried and advised:

"Now that you’re on the Divine Mountain, you will no longer be obscure and will likely attract the attention of many women. Do not become complacent, do not flirt or deceive, and do not start something without seeing it through, playing with others’ emotions. Last time, I counseled you to match your greed with capability, but the precondition of that greed must be sincerity."

"The world may be tempting, but it cannot deceive the eyes of a blind man like me. Rest assured, Master, Su’er will never do such things."

"I trust you." He Shutong’s gaze softened.

As You Su paid his respects, he suddenly remembered something very important...

Should he confess to Master about his ambiguous relationship with his senior sister now?

Master had previously counseled him, knowing he wanted to pursue both Xueruo and Lingruo. Master also believed that as long as he had the ability and could treat women equally, he should pursue them boldly.

But anyone with eyes could see that his senior sister meant something to Master that no one else could. So, does that pursuit include his senior sister?

Would Master consider him a troublemaker? She brought him to Lotus Peak out of goodwill, but now he was about to break the branch of the senior sister she raised like a daughter...

And he had just given his "mother-in-law" two pairs of lace stockings?

The situation was a bit complicated, You Su felt a bit guilty and didn’t dare to directly confess his feelings for his senior sister, so he decided to test Master’s mood:

"By the way, Master, recently senior sister asked me what a couple means. I didn’t dare to taint her Innate Purity, so I didn’t explain it. If she asks again, how should I answer?"

Couple?

He Shutong couldn’t help but recall when Wangshu came to ask her the meaning of ’soulmates.’ At the time, she didn’t think much of it, assuming it was a whimsical young girl’s curiosity.

But the fact that the young girl had actually asked You Su too indicated that Wangshu was quite interested in matters of love between men and women. Could it be that Wangshu’s feelings were awakening?

"You don’t need to answer, wait for her to return from this task, and I will explain to her."

You Su followed up with the remark, "Could it be that senior sister is looking for a Daoist partner?"

He Shutong furrowed her brow, her once calm expression turning somewhat serious, her mind flashing back to Wangshu pointing at her Jade Rabbit Mask saying, ’I want to take it off.’

All these signs combined gave He Shutong reason to believe that her senior disciple indeed had someone in her heart.

"It seems she really has developed feelings..."

He Shutong sighed softly, although she encouraged Wangshu to pursue what she wanted boldly, her heart remained mixed with joy and worry.

Joyful that this pure and immaculate fairy was gradually adopting some human traits, worried that the girl she personally raised would be taken away by someone else.

"I wonder what kind of man could capture the heart of senior sister." You Su also lamented with a seemingly disappointed tone.

He Shutong glanced up at You Su, and suddenly a shared understanding arose in her heart.

Before You Su appeared, Wangshu had never wanted to remove her mask. But why did she have that thought after You Su appeared?

Could Wangshu’s beloved person actually be...

He Shutong increasingly felt it could be the case, as who else besides You Su could have contact with Wangshu?

"Wangshu’s affection is a good thing, but unfortunately, Wangshu’s situation is unique. Trying to form a partnership with her would likely be fraught with difficulties."

He Shutong spoke while observing the changes in You Su’s expression.

"For love to cross the mountains and seas, both mountains and seas can be leveled." You Su felt at ease seeing that Master did not object to senior sister having feelings. "If it’s true love, what is there to fear from difficulties? If that man is even afraid of this, then he does not deserve senior sister’s affection, and I’ll be the first to kick him out."
