Fairy, Don't Be Afraid, I Am Blind

Chapter 344 - 197: Does Senior Brother Not Like Me Anymore?

On Lotus Peak, the air was clear, mists wafted, the rocks were rugged, and the immortal forest was flourishing.

The mountain wind howled, like the roar of dragons and tigers, threatening to shatter gold and stone.

You Su was walking on his way back, reflecting on the heavenly sounds of nature, unexpectedly comprehending a profound truth.

At that moment, he felt his mind clear and spirit tranquil, as if he had reached a transcendent state, forgetting both self and surroundings.

Such a state is recorded in various Immortal Family texts, and in the Joyful Union Skill it is known by another name—Wise Realm.

It is said that upon reaching this realm, a person’s perception and fortitude undergo dramatic changes, making the ability to infer from one example to many second nature.

You Su deeply experienced this, and he even sensed that the previously fulfilled Middle Spirit Platform Realm was now subtly touching the barrier of breakthrough.

With just one step, he could advance to the Lower Spirit Platform Realm.

Looking back over these days, from breaking through to the Spirit Platform Realm to today, it’s only been four months, yet he was about to cross two minor stages. Such a cultivation speed is astonishing.

After deep contemplation, You Su decided to take a brief rest today before setting off immediately. Not to rush through the test, but to clear his mind.

So he silently returned to his room, only to find someone already waiting for him there.

"Junior sister?"

"It’s me, what’s wrong?"

Ji Lingruo sat at the tea table, arms crossed, giving You Su a sidelong glance. She didn’t know why, but seeing You Su’s lips unconsciously curve into a smile irritated her.

Didn’t this blind fool know the danger he was about to face? How could he still have a look of secret joy, like he was about to die happy?

"Nothing, it’s just nice to see you."

You Su smiled even more broadly; now, with his mind cleared, he had no more worries and expressed his affection openly.

Ji Lingruo only instinctively retorted to You Su, but didn’t expect this guy to change his usual banter style, defeating her with gentleness.

The annoying thing is, she’s really the type that bows to gentleness rather than hardness...

Of course, at certain times she can be the stubborn girl who prefers firmness over softness.

"What nonsense are you talking?" Ji Lingruo’s face turned red, she cursed softly, "Whenever something happens, you know to go find her, what’s the use? Can’t you just watch as you face the evil forces?"

You Su couldn’t allow his junior sister to belittle their master, he seriously said, "Junior sister, the matter of the Divine Son is not something our master can control. From the moment I started from Chuyun City, I may have been destined to walk this path, you should understand that. She has already helped me a lot, don’t think like that about our master."

"How has she helped you? As far as I know, your swordsmanship was taught by our senior sister, right?"

"Master..." You Su contemplated for a moment and suddenly declared firmly, "Is the guide of my life!"

Whether mentally or physically, He Shutong is worthy of these four words.

"Whenever I am confused, master will always guide me, she has helped me a lot."

Ji Lingruo listened to You Su’s defensive words, pouting her lips, though she only grumbled outwardly and certainly wouldn’t really show disrespect towards their new master in her heart.

"Alright, alright I get it." Ji Lingruo hung her head, "She’s a good master, and I’m not a good junior sister, right."

The girl looked as if she was blaming He Shutong, but was actually angry at her own helplessness.

"Junior sister is the best junior sister in the world."

You Su took the opportunity to sit down, naturally placing his large hand over Ji Lingruo’s white and soft hand.

In the past half month since Ji Lingruo went up the mountain, aside from the initial confrontation with the joint forces of her and her senior sister, You Su hadn’t touched Ji Lingruo’s hand even once.

Ji Lingruo froze, she stared at You Su in surprise, her heart suddenly leaping like there was a restless little rabbit there, her face inexplicably flushed.

This blind fool suddenly changed like this, his attack so direct, catching her off guard.

Was he thinking he might not return, so he was settling his affairs?

This made Ji Lingruo’s determination even firmer: "Then do you want to leave me?"

"Of course not, I wish I could be with junior sister every moment." You Su didn’t even think, he answered decisively.

"Alright, then I’ll go to Mo Ye City with you." Ji Lingruo let You Su hold her hand, clearly feeling the boy’s strength increased a bit.

"The elder and you guys said it too?"

"Shouldn’t he have?" Ji Lingruo’s tone was unfriendly, "He went and came back, took senior sister away, told me to tell you not to wait for senior sister, she will appear in Mo Ye City at the right time. Before leaving, he also told me that I’m of the Demon Race, and during this tense time between humans and demons, if it’s announced, many disciples will want to spar with me. Though I’m not afraid of them... But I don’t want to fight them."

Ji Lingruo has been on the mountain for nearly a month, and due to her sensitive identity, she attracted far more attention than You Su did at the time, nearly everyone knew Profound Sky Sect had a new demon disciple.

Although it’s true, true disciple announcement is a rule, and it’s also a way for new disciples to greet all fellow sect members. Even if Ji Lingruo is of the Demon Race, she cannot be exempted.

Ji Lingruo learns sword techniques quickly, but her actual combat experience is really scarce. You Su and Fairy Wangshu have already helped her improve as much as possible, but how could they resist the ’eager eyes’ of so many people? Although someone behind the scenes will surely prevent the situation from getting too ugly, it’s really hard for junior sister of the Demon Race to avoid the initial intimidation.

"Junior sister, wait for me to return, then I’ll sit on the sidelines and make sure no one dares to challenge you."
