The Taixu Sword Sect Falls Apart

"... Is this the start of a war?" Fu Hua stood up and looked down at Lin Zhaoyu beside her.

"You can interpret it however you like... Master, I am an adult now, no, I have been an adult for a long time."

"... Senior sister, is this what you wanted to see?"

Qin Suyi looked at Su Mei in silence.

Now, Su Mei's face shows an expression of "suppressing laughter," which is rarely seen now.

"How awful." Jiang Wanxi smiled as well.

Although it's not the best thing, this gossip is... so interesting!

Now, everyone else, namely the Jiang sisters, Su Yi Sushang, and Cheng Lingshuang, are watching this scene.

"Stop laughing! Master and Senior Sister might really be on the verge of a falling out! Senior Sister! This is all your doing!"

Qin Suyi shouted at Su Mei.

"It's better to break up over something like this than over something more serious, right?" Su Mei was still trying not to laugh, and had even covered her mouth with her hand.

Qin Suyi couldn't understand why Su Mei was so happy.

"Can't we just break off all ties?"

"They'll break up sooner or later. The compatibility between Master and Senior Sister is actually quite subtle."

After a while, Su Mei finally stopped covering her mouth with her hand, but the smile on her face was still three times brighter than usual.

My whole being brightened up.

"But I never expected to hear my senior sister say something like 'I'm an adult too'..."

No, Su Mei still wants to laugh when she talks about this.

Lin Zhaoyu's biggest problem is that he naively believes that relationships and people will never change.

In other words, this person is stubborn and idealistic in unrealistic ways.

Such people are easily beaten down by reality.

(Hmm... it slightly satisfied my villainous fantasy. Su Mei paused for a moment.)

Now, Lin Zhaoyu is actually making a move on Fu Hua because of love.

(... Indeed, some things become much simpler with just a slight change.)

The others, watching this scene, couldn't quite understand Su Mei's sense of humor—after all, they were actually more familiar with Su Mei in their earlier years.

Su Mei personally taught them swordsmanship.

Su Mei was taught by Lin Zhaoyu step by step.

Su Mei knew Lin Zhaoyu's flaws all too well, and she also knew Fu Hua's... or rather, Fu Hua's flaws in the past.

(Thank goodness for the 'setting'... otherwise I don't want to have that headache from back then again, no, I should say nobody wants to have that headache from back then again.)

(Back then, my master was the kind of person who was impossible to communicate with. Even if you used a little moral blackmail, things wouldn't have turned out that way.)

(But then again, isn't kicking your master under the bed and making him sit at the same table with Firefly a kind of betrayal of his master and ancestors?)

Su Mei felt a surge of pent-up emotions when she thought of Fu Hua and Firefly dressed as puppies, squatting on the ground with their eyes covered, waiting to eat the leftover Jin Lengye.

"So, Senior Sister, you called us over just to show us your masterpiece?" Although Cheng Lingshuang was quite close to Su Mei, she didn't give her a friendly look this time.

It's inexplicable.

"No, I'm asking everyone to choose a side—Senior Sister is fighting with Master for a man, are you junior sisters just going to stand by and watch?"

Su Mei's smile carried a subtle malice.

"Of course, as your senior sister, I support all of you junior sisters in profiting from this. After all, the saying 'the capable should take the lead' is quite applicable."

Chapter 327 The Taixu Sword School Sect Falls Apart

As soon as Su Mei finished speaking, all the junior sisters and Sushang looked at Su Mei.

Senior sister, you've come up with such a huge task, and then you ask us this kind of question?

Do you think we dare to actually do something?

Daring my ass!

"Second Senior Sister was especially scary today..."

Jiang Wanru complained to her sister in a low voice.

"... It doesn't feel like it's impossible?"

Jiang Wanxi was clearly much bolder than her younger sister.

"No matter what... Senior Sister never lied to us, right?"

"It's not a question of whether or not it's a lie..."

Jiang Wanru couldn't help but complain.

The real question is why we should encourage them to date...

Well, although they are... or rather, they are well past their prime.

Liu Bai is someone who has no flaws except for his private life, and someone I know quite well.

The only men they knew were Ma Yanqing and Liu Bai.

But how should I put it... Ma Yanqing is indeed quite imposing and strong, but they treat Ma Yanqing like a little sister!

I Neon

Upon seeing Ma Yanqing, everyone's first thought was, "This kid has grown up to be ugly."

I can't accept it, I simply can't accept it.

As for Liu Bai... although his private life has some issues, if you put yourself in his shoes, Liu Bai has done quite well.

Anyway, all they know about Acheron right now is that they are all "feudal remnants".

My impression of Liu Bai... is quite good.

"Boring." Cheng Lingshuang curled her lip and turned to leave.

"...That makes sense. No matter how you look at it, there's no way Fifth Brother would support something like this." Jiang Wanru felt that there was still someone as normal as herself.

—Even though I, a normal person, am almost convinced.

"Is this the first time Fifth Brother has been so impatient with us?" Su Mei smiled.

Although Cheng Lingshuang is indifferent to outsiders, she is quite patient and respectful to her own family.

Even if she disagreed with certain behaviors, Cheng Lingshuang wouldn't have just left like this.

"..."

A moment of silence fell over everyone.

"... Mom, are you getting involved too?" Li Sushang tugged at Qin Suyi's sleeve.

Although the two are not related by blood, and are more like best friends than mother and daughter, they are still nominally related!

Isn't that strange?

—Of course, this doesn't mean she has any thoughts of her own.

It's strange that I have another godfather who is about the same age as me!

"... Thinking about it carefully, as a homebody, shouldn't I cherish the handsome guys around me who share my interests?"

Qin Suyi was also a little tempted; meeting a guy she liked was a rare and precious thing.

"Why don't you just put on a revealing cosplay outfit and go to a comic convention? There's bound to be one or two handsome guys there!"

"Sushang! Your mother didn't teach you such a trendy sentence, did she!"

"Huh? Using your status to pressure me now?"

Su Mei looked at the chaotic crowd in front of her, and the Jiang sisters who were preparing to quietly disappear into the chaos.

... I'm pretty hopeless in some ways too.

Su Mei smiled.

Although I don't dislike a peaceful life, after too much peace, I still want to find some fun.

For example, the current Taixu Sword School's Love Battle Royale.

"... Oh, right, can we choose to stand on your side, senior sister?"

Qin Suyi suddenly remembered this matter.

If you were to ask who on your team has the highest win rate...

It must be my second senior sister!

She's beautiful, has a great figure, and is smart too.

Now, aren't Master and Senior Sister completely manipulated?

As long as they're not brain-dead, they'll definitely bet on their own second senior sister!

Compared to the second senior sister, what are Master and Senior Sister but rotten fish and shrimp?

Upon hearing this, the Jiang sisters, who were planning to run away, immediately stopped.

Cheng Lingshuang is one of the three Sword Deity Realm the Taixu Sword School Sect. Theoretically, no one in the Taixu Sword School can control her.

And what about the two of them...?

Forget about the two of them. Below the Sword God, Su Mei is the fourth strongest in the Taixu Sword School...

Lin Zhaoyu killed the second-best swordsman in the world with three sword strikes, Su Mei, at the age of nine, surpassed Lin Zhaoyu in cultivation level...

Therefore, there is a reason for having Su Mei replace Lin Zhaoyu as the teacher's assistant.

All of them were taught swordsmanship by Su Mei. What a nuisance!

What a load of rubbish!

If I run away now, what will happen if my second senior sister settles scores with me later?

"Well... I'm not planning to participate for the time being." Su Mei seemed surprised that Qin Suyi would find this out.

She's very quick-witted, but Su Mei hopes Qin Suyi will use that intelligence in her love life.

"Is that so..."

Qin Suyi muttered something, then looked at the monitor screen.

Now, the once inseparable master and disciple on the screen have completely broken ties. Just as Fu Hua slams the door and leaves, Lin Zhaoyu stands forlornly pouring water into his teacup.

... Is it really okay for this kind of scene to occur just to steal a man?

"You really have a lot of free time."

In the coffee shop, Liu Bai and Elinore sat and enjoyed afternoon tea.

Although Liu Bai has been a bit of a nuisance these days, he has managed to become quite familiar with Elinore —after all, Elinore really has no good reason to drive Liu Bai away.

In addition, Liu Bai hasn't shown her any malice in the past few days.

With some reluctance, Elinore could only choose to talk more with this "Liu Qi" in front of her.

What else can we do?

"With the mission objective right in front of me, how could I not be idle?" Bai shrugged. "So, La Signora. Elinore, how are your recent missions going? When are you planning to leave Liyue?"

"Did you invite me to afternoon tea just to tell me to get rid of you?"

Although Elinore said this, her face showed no sign of displeasure.

She didn't really want to stay here any longer—while they weren't exactly hostile, the place certainly felt alienating.

Elinore could subtly understand this feeling.
