Do You Really Think You Can Spoil Your Master for a Thousand Years? (Continued)

However, after the Seven Swords killed their master, they simply burned down Fuyun Temple and went their separate ways... Without any ulterior motives, some things become unclear.

"Master doesn't understand people's hearts..." Su Mei continued, looking at Liu Bai expression.

"It's not that she doesn't understand people's hearts..."

Liu Bai shook his head but didn't say anything more.

Unfortunately, he couldn't handle Divine Sound's situation; he lacked the knowledge and experience in that area.

Su Mei smiled slightly upon hearing this, "You don't understand... I really don't know if Master has noticed that Senior Sister has already started applying makeup?"

"... Why bring this up all of a sudden?"

Liu Bai tilted his head slightly, as he was aware that Lin Chaoyu was wearing makeup.

"Grandmaster, do you think Su Mei is the most dangerous?" Su Mei did not answer the question directly, but instead asked in return.

"... Yes, when it comes to intelligence, courage, and even action, I think you are number one among the Seven Swords."

"Grandmaster, your praise is truly flattering to Su Mei."

Su Mei smiled brightly, but then her expression turned calm as she looked up at the ceiling.

"But, the most dangerous among us Seven Swordsmen... at least I think the most dangerous one is actually my dear senior sister."

"Reason?"

"My senior sister is too nostalgic. She always feels that some things can remain unchanged."

Although Su Mei spoke cheerfully, her expression remained as calm as the pine trees outside the house.

"But my senior sister is also intelligent and quick-witted. There are some things she actually knew a long time ago, but she just refuses to admit it—she will be thirty-five years old next year."

A hint of reminiscence appeared on Su Mei's face.

"Back then, how majestic and graceful was our senior sister, who defeated Lord Yama, the second-best martial artist in the world, at the age of twenty-one? But now she has to resort to makeup to cover her wrinkles in front of our master... I suppose she has realized the difference between immortals and mortals?"

"..."

"Of course, if that's the case, given Senior Sister's nostalgic nature, she might just live her whole life deceiving herself. But if we really have an irreconcilable conflict with Master... ha!"

Liu Bai thought for a moment, then nodded silently.

After the Seven Swords unleashed their lightning, Lin Chaoyu rebelled against Fu Hua in order to plead for mercy.

"Even if Senior Sister is nostalgic, Master is the past, but aren't we younger sisters also the past? After realizing the difference between immortals and mortals, even if Senior Sister is still trying to deceive herself, she will eventually stand on our side. But this is a pity for Master, who actually trusts Senior Sister the most."

Liu Bai could only nod.

Although Lin Chaoyu hesitated on the matter of killing his master, he ultimately protected Cheng Lingshuang from her final attack.

As for Fu Hua... she truly trusted Lin Chaoyu the most, even the feathers she left behind and the illusions in her mind showed the figure of Lin Chaoyu at the age of twenty.

"Actually, if we take another step back, if the eldest sister doesn't make a move, how can Su Mei have the face to order the other junior brothers and sisters around? Sometimes, being killed by the master can be considered as settling the karma."

Su Mei stopped there.

Liu Bai understood that there was no need to continue the conversation once it had been said.

"Once Hua returns, you can all go down the mountain."

After a moment of silence, Liu Bai spoke softly.

"You're all getting on in years. Let's not even talk about the sixth and seventh kids. It wouldn't be a bad thing for you senior sisters to go out and establish your own sects or find a place to live peacefully. In the long run, whatever happens to the Tai Xu Sword Sect will have nothing to do with you."

"Go down the mountain?"

Su Mei was slightly taken aback, seemingly not expecting Liu Bai to make such a suggestion.

"The idea of going down the mountain sounds more like a family division to you, Grandmaster."

Su Mei smiled wryly, shook her head, and bowed to Liu Bai.

"Su Mei doesn't care. Having lived on Tai Xu Mountain for so many years, Su Mei has long had the desire to travel. But for my junior sisters, Tai Xu Mountain is their home. There's no reason to force them to leave home."

"Isn't that the duty of you, the second senior sister and the eldest senior sister Lin Chaoyu?"

Liu Bai had anticipated this problem.

"You know the Seven Swords have lightning, yet you insist on waiting for it to explode? That's not good for anyone. Besides, you're all capable of taking care of yourselves. Apart from Xiao Liu and Xiao Qi, which one of you can be considered 'all grown up'?"

Su Mei gave a wry smile, but remained noncommittal.

"In that case... as long as Master agrees, most of us would probably be willing to go down the mountain. After all, there are quite a few people like Su Mei who are feeling stifled. But then again, Senior Sister is good at deceiving herself, so that might not be the case..."

"If she were the only one left, everything would be fine," Liu Bai sighed softly.

This was the best solution he could think of; if some things couldn't be resolved, then they shouldn't have happened in the first place.

"Grandmaster, what are you saying?" Su Mei shook her head. "Then Su Mei will try her best in this matter... But then again, aren't you spoiling Master too much?"

"That's quite an overstepping of boundaries."

Liu Bai said softly, and the atmosphere between the two eased.

"But no matter what, Hua is still my student, and you guys are still my grand-disciples... Am I being biased?"

"It's a bit off-topic, but it's still reasonable and well-founded."

Su Mei laughed from the bottom of her heart, "But isn't there an old saying that grandparents love their grandchildren more? You spoil your master so much that even your grand-disciple is a little jealous."

"I'm not going to talk about that. Your grandmaster is only eighteen this year, okay?"

"Hmm..." Su Mei shook her head helplessly, "If Master could be like you, Grandmaster, then it probably wouldn't matter whether it's shocking or not... Speaking of which, Su Mei has always been curious about how you and Master became master and disciple?"

"It's fate."

"Fate? That's right, it's just that fate is such a wonderful thing... It's just a pity that the seven of us don't seem to have much fate with you, our grandmaster."

Su Mei stood up and bowed to Liu Bai.

"The seven of us will probably be scattered in the future, but Grandmaster... please don't find my words unpleasant, but our master has a mental problem. If this continues, even if Su Mei is gone today, there will be Zhang Mei and Li Mei in the future; if the Seven Swords of Taixu are gone today, there may be a Six Swords of Taixu or an Eight Swords of Taixu in the future... Can you really spoil our master for thousands of years?"

Su Mei bowed deeply to Liu Bai again, then turned and left without waiting for Liu Bai's reaction.

"My Lord God ..." Otto moved closer to Liu Bai.

Although she didn't interrupt, she heard everything the two of them said.

Su Mei's last words could be considered, in a sense, a "heart-piercing" attack.

"Don't worry, we'll see about the future in the future. It's already very kind of Su Mei to be willing to open up to me."

Liu Bai was in a good mood. Although the Divine Sound was a degraded version of the Discipline, it was still not something that could be solved now, and neither could the Imaginary Archive.

After all, the Divine Sound relied on a portion of the original owner Aponia's power; without Aponia, it would have been difficult to handle.

... Perhaps, apart from violence, the only other option is to rely on the passage of time.

"Now that this matter is out in the open, we can go back with peace of mind when spring comes. It's just a pity that Kallen and Elinor didn't reach the level of a sword god."

When the topic turned to Kallen and Elinor, Otto felt somewhat helpless.

"After all, the realm of Sword God is somewhat difficult to describe, and apart from True Person Chi Yuan, Cheng Lingshuang will not teach anyone else."

Otto wasn't too disappointed, since they essentially Tai Xu Sword Qi. Why have such high expectations for something that's free?

"Although there was some issue with the teaching, Kallen's natural talent was also lacking." Liu Bai nodded.

Although Kiana is usually silly, there's no denying that she inherited the best bloodlines of Schariac and Kaslana.

Cecilia and Siegfried, taken individually, are both capable of being heads of families in this era. It is almost impossible for family heads to marry each other. However, in the future, Otto will kill his own family, and the other two major families will be crippled.

This situation, coupled with Otto's desire to see what kind of child would be born, allowed the two to successfully get together.

Then came Bianka, a freak with talent on par with the overpowered genius, and Kiana, on top of that talent, also possessed the Herrscher talent...

Not counting the Previous Era, Honkai is a system where the present is stronger than the past. In this era, Honkai is so stingy that it takes a long time to produce a Herrscher. So it's not unfair for Liu Bai to say that Kallen's Kallen is a bit lacking.

"I've never heard of Kallen being untalented before..."

Otto sighed.

"Elinor's entry into the profession halfway through was indeed a bit of a stretch... but Elinor is also more diligent than Kallen."

"Alright, alright, there's no point in discussing this anymore. Let's pack up and go to sleep."

"Go down the mountain?"

Fu Hua listened to Liu Bai's words with a frown, then glanced at his seven disciples.

"What Master said is not without reason, but..."

"This disciple is willing to go down the mountain to slay demons and monsters for my master."

Su Mei stepped forward first and bowed.

"I will be twenty years old after the New Year, and it is time for me to travel the world in place of my master."

Su Mei's words were so well-chosen that even Fu Hua, who was somewhat opposed to them, couldn't find fault with them.

"Su Mei, you are fine, but..."

"This disciple is also willing to descend the mountain."

Cheng Lingshuang stepped forward with her sword in hand—which surprised Su Mei slightly.

"This disciple wishes to accompany the Patriarch to visit the country of 'Europa' in the west."

Fu Hua nodded in agreement upon hearing this.

Although Ling Shuang is young, her martial arts skills are unparalleled, and she should be fine staying by her master's side.

"Disciples are also willing to descend the mountain and travel the world in place of Master, slaying demons and monsters," Jiang Wanru and Jiang Wanxi said at this moment.

However, judging from the reason given, it's clear that these two were taught by Su Mei.

"My sister and I support each other, so our master doesn't need to worry."

Jiang Wanxi, the older sister, added.

The two sisters, one strong and one gentle, complement each other quite well... but...

Fu Hua hesitated slightly. In her opinion, if Herrscher were to appear in this era, it would inevitably be one of these two people—these two people were too accepting of Honkai.

However, after all these years, there has been no sign of recovery from the Honkai...

"...Alright." Fu Hua nodded, which was taken as an agreement.

Su Yi still wants to stay by Master's side.

Qin Suyi said timidly that she didn't understand why, all of a sudden, not only had her grandmaster left, but her senior sisters were also leaving.

"Su Yi is still young and close to her master, so it is only natural for her to stay on the mountain."

Su Mei looked at her junior sister and smiled.

Although Qin Suyi and Cheng Lingshuang are the same age, their temperaments are completely different.

(Su Yi's temperament was ultimately a bit weak.)

"Then why don't you follow Fifth Senior Sister?" Cheng Lingshuang raised an eyebrow.

"Stop fooling around, Fifth Brother, how could you possibly take care of someone?" Su Mei tapped Cheng Lingshuang's head.

"Isn't there a founding master?" Cheng Lingshuang looked at Liu Bai as if it were the most natural thing in the world.

Liu Bai: "..."

"This journey to the Western Regions is tens of thousands of miles long. You, Fifth Brother, are the one who can handle it. Su Yi can't." Su Mei said irritably.

"Then, Second Senior Sister, will you take care of them?"

"I...?"

Su Mei raised an eyebrow, looked at Cheng Lingshuang's cold face, and shook her head inwardly.

(The fifth one is still very perceptive...)

Su Mei was certain that her fifth junior sister had "smelled" something, otherwise she wouldn't have been so proactive.

"I'll bring it if I want. If Su Yi is willing, I, as her senior sister, will naturally take the responsibility."

"I..." Qin Suyi couldn't help but feel conflicted, after all, on one side was her closest second senior sister, and on the other side was her most relied-upon master...

"Chaoyu, what about you?"
