With His Senior Sister, They Taught Each Other
You Su got out of bed. He first used his Divine Sense and weak vision to reopen the closed door, wishing the window could be opened wider as well.
After doing all this, he sat down on a wooden chair, with the serene Wangshu Fairy sitting in front of him.
This reminded You Su of his time at the Mandarin Sword Sect, where Ji Lingruo and he had been taught privately by him in his simple room.
At first, he kept the doors and windows wide open as if to avoid suspicion, knowing that no one would see him but wanting to be at peace with himself. But later, in the month before they parted, his teaching with his junior sister had evolved to the point where he felt embarrassed to conduct the lessons without keeping all the doors and windows tightly closed.
Thinking of this, he subconsciously glanced at his senior sister who was waiting for him to begin his lecture. Although his vision was blurry at the moment, her mysterious and beautiful appearance was still clear in his memory.
You Su shook his head inwardly, trying to ignore the strong sense of déjà vu. He was certain that his teaching with his senior sister was serious and proper, and would never gradually turn into the kind of teaching with his junior sister.
"Senior sister, is there no one else on Lotus Peak?"
Wangshu Fairy shook her head and said, "It's always just been me and my master."
"So who usually tutors you?"
"I've always relied on my master or read books on my own. After my master passed away eight years ago, other elders would occasionally come to guide me."
You Su nodded. Judging from his Mistress's behavior over the past eight years, it was understandable that her disciples might lack understanding of certain concepts and behaviors. He then asked:
"So you're just going to stay on the peak forever?"
"From the moment I was brought to the sacred mountain at birth until now, it has basically been like this," Wangshu Fairy answered truthfully, her tone still calm, as if she had become accustomed to it.
You Su thought to himself that it was just as he had guessed; Senior Sister Wangshu's upbringing and environment were almost a blank sheet of paper.
"Do you have any friends?" You Su asked again.
This question, however, rendered Wangshu Fairy speechless for the first time. She remained silent, her blue eyes darkening slightly.
You Su, being perceptive, realized he must have asked the wrong question, which had silenced his usually responsive senior sister. He thought to himself that he deserved to die and was trying to find a way to make amends when Wangshu Fairy raised her eyes again, staring intently at You Su, and said:
"I have no friends, but I have junior brothers."
Senior Sister's innocence almost made You Su forget her age. She acted as if she were a detached Fairy cultivated immortality alone on the immortal peak, unaware of the ways of the world. She was not a simple person from birth. She had always been with the sacred mountain, so it could even be said that she was "born an immortal," skipping the stage of seeking the mountain from a human to become an immortal.
You Su was moved by Wangshu Fairy's words. He dared not easily trust others and had no friends. His junior sister had been his greatest emotional support for the past three years, and he could empathize with Wangshu Fairy's State of Mind when she said those words.
"I don't have any friends either," You Su smiled gently, "But I have a junior sister, and now I have a senior sister."
Wangshu Fairy stiffened, gave a soft "hmm," and remained indifferent, but her fair hands, resting lightly on her thighs, caused one to unconsciously curl her skirt slightly.
"Senior sister, let's get back to the important matter. Why are you sleeping next to me?"
"Master said that during her seclusion, I will take over her duties of teaching my fellow disciples, and she will examine me when she emerges from seclusion."
"Did you say anything else?"
"You even said I'm the senior sister and you're the junior brother, so the senior sister should care for and love the junior brother more, and be closer to you."
Well, that's why they say a good teacher produces outstanding students.
"Even if you want to get close to your junior brother, you can't sleep next to me, understand? If I were your junior sister, then maybe I could accept it if you did that," You Su admonished sternly.
Upon Wangshu Fairy stared at You Su for a while. You Su felt a little uncomfortable under her gaze, wondering if her senior sister was trying to turn her into a junior sister.
Is it because men and women are different?
No, so you knew?
"That's right, Senior Sister needs to remember this. You are a woman, and you should keep your distance from all men, including Junior Brother."
Wangshu Fairy remained silent for a moment, then suddenly asked, "Since men and women are supposed to be different, why don't you and your junior sister keep your distance? Why do you insist on keeping your distance from me?"
You Su raised an eyebrow, wondering when her senior sister had realized that she and her junior sister were no longer keeping their distance. She replied, "Because my junior sister is special to me."
You Su simply responded with "special," already imagining the scene where he would explain it to his senior sister with complicated love stories, only to be relentlessly questioned by her.
"Oh."
Sensing his senior sister's somber tone, You Su felt a pang of guilt and could only offer words of comfort, "Of course, senior sister is special to me too."
"Yes, Junior Brother is special too," Wangshu Fairy replied quickly.
You Su felt dizzy and lightheaded, as if she couldn't teach Ji Lingruo how to do math problems no matter what, and was also being subjected to her stupid mental attacks.
"Of course, there are different kinds of special things. The special relationship between me and my junior sister is different from the special relationship between me and my senior sister."
"What's the difference?" Wangshu Fairy persisted.
You Su sighed, not wanting to make things worse, and could only say, "If you're interested, Senior Sister, I'll tell you the story of me and Junior Sister later, and you'll understand."
"Mmm." Wangshu Fairy hummed twice for the first time.
"In short, if you want to get closer to me, Senior Sister, you can't do it this way."
"Then what method should we use?"
"You can help your junior brother pass your master's Mistress's test by patiently teaching me Cultivation Method and swordsmanship. Mutual help is the best way for fellow disciples to bond."
You Su intended to end this failed lecture and instead have her senior sister teach her.
Although they were talking about serious matters, You Su felt like he was seducing an innocent woman. However, there was nothing he could do about it, as he didn't want to disappoint his Mistress 'Mistress after her seclusion ended.
Wangshu Fairy nodded and took out two books from an exquisite brocade pouch at her waist: "The Foundation of Cultivation" and "General Knowledge of Sword Techniques".
She opened one of the books and slowly read aloud, "The sword is a weapon of refined elegance, possessing uprightness, a sharp edge within gentleness, and with spiritual power, it can reach the divine, its mysteries reaching the sublime..."
You Su was surprised that she had entered teaching mode so quickly and was a little slow to react. The fact that the other person was willing to read to her word by word must be because she knew that she was blind.
He was touched, but also didn't want his senior sister to overwork herself, so he reminded her:
"Senior sister, you don't need to read it to me. I've put it in my Universe Bag, and I can read it myself with my Divine Sense."
Wangshu indeed stopped reading and handed the book over.
You Su put the book into his Universe Bag, and when he scanned it with his Divine Sense, he was astonished to find that the writing was completely different from those Evil Cultivator books.
He could naturally understand the words in those books of Evil Cultivator, but he couldn't understand the words in these two books of the righteous path!
