Fairy Lu Was Angry
"I wonder where this kid gets his strength from..." the Third Elder murmured, then glanced at the Fifth Elder beside him. "He's already this exhausted, and you Crimson Rainbow Peak are still going to challenge him tomorrow?"
The Fifth Elder did not answer and turned to leave.
"Aren't you afraid people will say you won unfairly?" The Third Elder frowned.
"Everyone thinks that Crimson Rainbow Peak will definitely make a move. If I don't, won't people think that Crimson Rainbow Peak is afraid?" The Fifth Elder put his hands behind his back, facing away from the Third Elder. "Third Elder, rest assured, the sparring will be fair."
"We're both Sword Cultivator, is it really that important to distinguish who's better?"
"It is precisely because we are both Sword Cultivator that we must distinguish between superior and inferior."
As soon as the Fifth Elder finished speaking, he and his disciples flew out of the sea of clouds on their swords.
"Senior Sister?"
You Su was gently placed on her bed and softly called to Wangshu Fairy was standing silently to her side.
Throughout the flight, including being carried up the mountain by Wangshu Fairy, she remained unusually silent. You Su had called her "Senior Sister" many times, but Wangshu Fairy had never responded to him. This was completely different from the Senior Sister who had always answered his questions and granted his requests before.
This time, my senior sister still didn't respond.
But she didn't leave, and an awkward silence filled You Su's room.
You Su couldn't help but feel uneasy, unable to figure out what had caused his senior sister to become like this. He tried to open his eyes, but it was ineffective, perhaps due to excessive exertion. However, even though he couldn't see people, his senior sister's feelings were still conveyed to him through the form of You Su surrounding Mystic Qi.
Normally, the flow of Mystic Qi around my senior sister is smooth and natural, with all the Mystic Qi flowing between heaven and earth eagerly hoping to enter her spiritual platform. But now, it seems to be fearing and resisting something, becoming tangled and chaotic, as if reminding You Su's Divine Sense:
"Don't provoke her, she's very unhappy right now!"
You Su lay in bed, trying to recall what had upset her senior sister.
Was it that "fair-minded" Fairy Lu? She dismissed her senior sister's intention to protect her junior brother as a mistake, thus defining her senior sister's innocent actions as counterproductive, making her the "bad person" who ruined her junior brother's efforts. As a result, the senior sister fell into self-blame and displeasure.
You Su believes that this is the most likely reason.
"Senior sister, I still won in the end, didn't I? Don't take what Fairy Lu said to heart. Victory or defeat isn't important. On the contrary, I'm very grateful that you care about your junior brother so much. To be honest, I'm quite flattered."
"What do you mean by being flattered?" Senior Sister finally spoke, her voice unusually cold and clear.
"It's because I feel both happy and uneasy about receiving this care," You Su explained softly, adding that her senior's cultural knowledge in papermaking seemed to be quite limited.
What are you uneasy about?
"I feel uneasy... I don't know how to repay my senior sister."
"Is that really what you think?" Wangshu Fairy's tone softened slightly.
"Of course!" You Su replied decisively.
Wangshu Fairy stared intently at You Su with her deep blue eyes for a while before slightly turning her body away. Her inner Mystic Qi seemed to become even more chaotic!
You Su noticed this subtle change, and his heart sank. In his eyes, his senior sister had always been as pure as crystal, a very simple woman. Why was she getting angrier the more he tried to coax her?
He was anxious, and his vital Mystic Qi was depleted. Exhausted, he began to cough violently.
Wangshu Fairy, no longer displaying her aloof demeanor, quickly approached and placed her hand on You Su's abdomen, continuously channeling her Mystic Qi into it.
Although one cannot use the Mystic Qi of others, it can at least relieve the immediate crisis and alleviate the thirst of those meridians that have long been accustomed to the presence of Mystic Qi.
You Su felt a warmth in his heart as he sensed his senior sister's movements. However, in his Divine Sense, although the girl's hand was on him, her head was still tilted to the side, and she still looked angry.
You Su's thoughts shifted slightly. He suddenly realized something: if Fairy Lu had angered his senior sister, why would she have taken a few steps back when he stood in front of her?
It was clearly himself who made his senior sister angry.
After much thought, You Su couldn't figure out what he had done wrong to upset his senior sister. He decided to stop wasting time internally and took the initiative to ask:
"Senior sister, I'm sorry. It was my foolishness that caused you to be displeased."
Wangshu Fairy turned her head, looked at You Su's sincere face, then lowered her head slightly and stammered:
"Junior brother, if you think I'm good to you, why are you still being mean to me?"
?
You Su back on all his conversations with his senior sister, the only one that could be described as "being fierce to her" was probably that one sentence he uttered on the stage today—"Don't come!"
So that's why my senior was unhappy...
"This is my first time having a junior brother, and no one has ever taught me how to be a senior sister... If I did something wrong, my junior brother can teach me, but please don't be so fierce anymore..."
"I... I don't want to be yelled at by my junior brother."
Honestly, You Su had absolutely no intention of being mean or blaming his senior sister. In the heat of the moment, he was focused on the battle and didn't want to be interrupted by anyone. In that split second, he didn't have the energy to sense who was coming to his rescue, so he could only shout out in a slightly angry tone.
Unexpectedly, the senior sister was so sensitive that she fell into self-pity for a long time just because of a harsh remark made unintentionally by her junior brother.
You Su was speechless for a long time. He didn't want to label his senior sister's sensitivity as being pretentious or naive, because either way, it was a sign that she valued her own opinions too much.
He once again marveled at his own good fortune, having exclusively received all the sincerity of this lonely girl atop the mountain. He secretly resolved to protect his senior sister's true heart.
"Senior sister, I'm sorry, I didn't mean to. It was too urgent at the time, and I wasn't deliberately yelling at you alone." You Su's voice was as warm as a spring. "I swear, junior brother will never yell at senior sister again."
"Yes!" Wangshu Fairy nodded emphatically, "Junior brother is so kind."
As her mood improved, the Mystic Qi around her returned to normal, as if it were celebrating her transformation.
You Su felt that the hand placed on her abdomen was icy cold, but the Mystic Qi entering her was warm and soothing, making her feel pleasant.
"Senior sister is truly wonderful."
You Su smiled helplessly, marveling at her senior's naiveté. Even though her senior had been sullen and unhappy the whole way, a simple apology from her was enough to make her instantly better, as if she wasn't angry at all, but just pretending to be angry like a child, telling him—I'm unhappy, come and comfort me.
With her lovely senior sister, kind master's Mistress, and dear junior sister who has not yet returned, You Su has made up her mind to stay on Lotus Peak.
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but feel a little worried. Today's sparring had far exceeded the usual level, which meant that although he had delivered a stunning performance, his body was already on the verge of exhaustion.
Although the powerful physique brought by Tai Sui left him without any external injuries, the accumulation of Mystic Qi requires a process. If someone were to challenge him again tomorrow, how would he cope?
