With Big Sister or with Me? (6k)

The next day, on Lotus Peak.

The Third Elder was elegant in posture and moved with light steps.

She wore a floor-length gown, the hem swaying gently with her steps, like a flower blooming in the wind.

In fact, she did not deliberately hide her presence at all. It was just that, being naturally compatible with plants and trees, she naturally became one with nature after reaching the Void Glimpse Realm.

Thinking back, it had been quite a while since she had visited Lotus Peak.

Bihua Pavilion is currently making intensive preparations for its official opening, and she is extremely busy with many other matters.

My purpose in coming here is twofold: first, to deliver the letter sent by the patriarch of the Snake Clan of the Eastern Ying Continent to Lingruo; second, to check on the progress of Lotus Sword Venerable's recovery; and third...

The purpose was to send You Su to inspect the preparations at Bihua Peak and, incidentally, offer some further suggestions to the current disciples.

Actually, the Third Elder felt somewhat embarrassed to personally "invite" You Su to come out of seclusion.

He had thought You Su would care about the Bihua Pavilion just as much, after all, he had put in a lot of Heart's Blood. But who would have thought that the blind man would never come back after that night when he asked him to be gentle with him!

So many beautiful female cultivators on Bihua Peak are eyeing you, and you remain completely unmoved? Are you blind?

It seems he really has gone blind...

The Third Elder felt a mixture of resentment and delight.

Because You Su was truly different from the other men. Faced with so many senior sisters who favored him, he did not take advantage of their favor or try to force himself on them. Instead, he treated them calmly, showing a gentlemanly demeanor.

With that thought in mind, the Third Elder had already walked outside the courtyard.

Suddenly, the plump, beautiful woman frowned and looked at the birds in the tree.

I didn't call out...

Where did that melodious cry come from?

For some reason, the Third Elder felt that the cry made him blush, and it sounded... very familiar.

Her beautiful eyes widened instantly as she looked towards the source of the sound— You Su's room!

She focused her Divine Sense and detected two auras within the room!

What on earth is this blind man doing to Lingruo?!

The Third Elder was furious. He had just been praising You Su as a gentleman, but then he caught him humiliating a woman. How could she possibly accept that?

She arrived at You Su's door in an instant, only to find that the door wasn't even locked!

"Junior sister, please keep your voice down... Did I use too much force?"

Damn it!

A snap.

The door was pushed open, and the Third Elder glared angrily, Ji Lingruo's panicked gaze. They stared at each other in bewilderment.

However, the scene she had imagined— Ji Lingruo disheveled—did not occur. Instead, both of them were dressed casually, not engaged in any intimate moments.

"Third Elder, you've arrived!"

You Su retrieved the scabbard of the Ink Pine Sword from Ji Lingruo's back and laughed heartily.

"Third Elder..."

Ji Lingruo also greeted them with her head down, her face slightly flushed.

"Hmm, what are you doing?"

The Third Elder's alluring eyes scrutinized the two of them suspiciously, her delicate nose twitching slightly as she scrutinized every possible clue.

"My junior sister has been practicing swordsmanship too hard lately and complained to me of her aches and pains, so I used the scabbard to massage her and relieve her muscles and bones."

You Su spoke sincerely and calmly, without any hint of guilt.

"Lingruo, is that so?"

Ji Lingruo blushed even more, but still nodded.

The Third Elder sensed something amiss, so he stepped forward and gently stroked the girl's head, allowing the azure Mystic Qi to flow into it.

The Third Elder observed carefully and realized that the girl had indeed been somewhat tired recently.

"There should be a limit to sword practice. Those who cultivate themselves strive for long-term results, not for short-term gains. Remember to practice in moderation in the future, and remember to relax after you finish."

Ji Lingruo nodded obediently, knowing that the reason for her fatigue was neither sword practice nor anything else.

"Junior Sister has acquired the Immortal Sword by chance and is very fond of it. It's understandable that she wants to practice using it diligently. I will remind her to know when to stop," You Su explained softly.

The Third Elder was slightly taken aback, unable to believe that You Su had casually uttered those two words.

"The Immortal Sword?!"

Ji Lingruo took out the Cheng Ying Sword, which had regained its brilliance, from her Universe Bag. As soon as she took it out, the sharp aura emanating from the sword made people want to back away.

"It was a gift from my senior brother..."

The Third Elder was utterly astonished and could not believe it.

She had seen quite a few immortal Immortal Sword, but this was the first time she had ever seen Spirit Platform Middle Stage wielding Immortal Sword.

She was also a connoisseur; judging from the sword's design and the news from a while back, she recognized it as the famous Cheng Ying Sword.

The beautiful woman then looked at You Su with a complicated expression:

"Everyone said that the Cheng Ying Sword disappeared without a trace, but I never expected that you would take it?"

"Just lucky," You Su.

"I witnessed the sudden change in the weather and the soaring Sword Qi energy at Lotus Peak a few days ago, and I thought it was because your master's recovery had progressed. I never expected that Lingruo had Chengying recognize her as his master. She truly has a bright future ahead of her."

The Third Elder was lavish in his praise.

"Thank you for your high expectations, Third Elder. It's all thanks to my senior brother. Lingruo will work hard."

"You must work hard so as not to disappoint your senior brother."

The Third Elder glanced approvingly at You Su a few times, his opinion of the young man rising even higher.

If she remembered correctly, You Su's swords weren't even Immortal Sword, yet he was willing to give Immortal Sword to his junior sister. His generosity was especially commendable, and even the Third Elder couldn't find any fault with it.

So she did a favor by secretly using her Method Formula to nourish the girl's body with her own green energy.

Before long, Ji Lingruo felt all her fatigue vanish, her mind clear and her eyes bright. She could easily fight another three hundred rounds.

"Thank you, Third Elder!" Ji Lingruo said sweetly.

The Third Elder smiled kindly, but he knew perfectly well what the young girl was thinking.

Even with a strong massage, it wouldn't easily make that kind of sound...

Seeing You Su's upright and gentlemanly demeanor, and recalling the girl's shy and timid appearance when he entered, the Third Elder could easily guess that the massage was probably initiated by the girl, which was why she was so shy after he caught her.

After all, anyone could see that the relationship between the two was unusual, much closer than that of normal senior and junior brothers and sisters.

Then the situation becomes clear:

You Su was taciturn and didn't understand, yet he was incredibly generous and selfless towards Lingruo; Lingruo, suddenly receiving such a generous gift, deeply felt You Su's You Su affection and loyalty, and wanted to become closer to him. So, she deliberately went to You Su's room under the pretext of giving him a massage, making those kinds of noises...

Ah, the first stirrings of young love...

Well, well, I can't control what other people's disciples are like. Compared to other men, You Su is truly outstanding.

"Third Elder, please have some tea."

You Su poured the beautiful woman a cup of hot tea with great care, "What brings you here Third Elder?"

The Third Elder wouldn't go out of her way to warn the two senior brothers and sisters not to be alone together in a room. After all, she had learned from her conversation with Ji Lingruo that You Su had been Lingruo's senior brother for three years before she joined Lotus Peak, and they had been inseparable.

In short, these two were deeply in love and spent so much time together on this deserted mountain; how could they not spark something?

Only after accepting the cup from You Su did the Third Elder realize with a start that he had subtly begun to treat You Su differently from others to this extent.

If she discovered another man giving her junior sister a massage like that, regardless of the reason, she would definitely curse him for having ulterior motives.

"You Su."

The Third Elder did not answer, but addressed him by his given name.

You Su looked up in surprise, and Ji Lingruo also glanced over, only to find that the Third Elder was sitting upright, his proud chest creating an overwhelming aura, and his tone was extremely serious.

Do you like your junior sister?

Ji Lingruo hearing this, not expecting the Third Elder to suddenly ask such a question.

"I like it, I like it a lot, I like it very much."

You Su Sulian said "I like it" three times, her emotions building and her tone becoming firm.

The Third Elder nodded secretly, then asked, "Since you know your junior sister is Demon Cultivator, why do you still like her so much?"

You Su nodded.

"But love between a human and a demon is unacceptable to society, making it very difficult."

"The Third Elder knows that You Su is never afraid of difficulties."

You Su then turned to look at the dazed Ji Lingruo and said solemnly:

"Until the mountains crumble and the heavens and earth unite, I will never part from you!"

"Very good!"

The Third Elder looked at You Su approvingly; she was very satisfied with You Su's performance.

"I hope you will keep your word. If you encounter any difficulties, you can come to me."

If You Su feared the difficulties brought about by the difference in their social status, she would definitely protect Ji Lingruo well, so that no woman would be heartbroken over a man.

Out of her sight, Ji Lingruo kept her head down, not daring to meet You Su's gaze, and secretly squeezed her legs together under her skirt.

"Thank you, Third Elder..." the two young men said in unison.

The Third Elder smiled with satisfaction, "I came up the mountain for no important reason. It was just that Sister Lingruo's letter arrived, and I came to deliver it."

After saying this, the Third Elder conjured up neatly bound letters from his hand and handed them to the girl.

Ji Lingruo accepted the letter with a flustered expression, her cheeks burning red. She still didn't dare to look up. "How could I trouble the Third Elder with such a task? You could have just asked someone to call me to pick it up."

"This letter arrived the day before yesterday. I did want you to come and pick it up. But there's no way to get up Lotus Peak from here, so I asked someone to wait for you at the foot of the peak, and neither of you ever came down. Since it's your sister's letter, it must be extremely valuable. I didn't dare to use a carrier pigeon to deliver it, so I had to come and deliver it myself."

"I'm so sorry, thank you so much!"

Ji Lingruo quickly bowed and thanked him, but the mud under her skirt made it inconvenient for her to stand up. Hesitating, she waited for the Third Elder to place his hand on the girl's shoulder first.

"It's alright, I just happened to come and see your master." The Third Elder took a sip of tea, noticing that You Su had a good palate, and then said, "You Su, your master and senior sister used to ignore the outside world, so there was no way to contact them on the peak, and they were basically living in seclusion. Now that there are more people on Lotus Peak, you should find a way to make up for it, otherwise it's too inconvenient."

"You Su will certainly live up to expectations."

"Alright, the letter has been delivered. I'll go check on the back mountain." The Third Elder stood up gracefully, and as she left, she casually added, "Oh, by the way, your Senior Sister Si Han has been talking about you. If you have some free time this afternoon, you can go see her."

"Must."

After saying this, the Third Elder smiled slightly, turned around and walked into the forest, secretly praising himself for his brilliant use of the tactic of "femme fatale" in Donghua.

Only You Su and Ji Lingruo remained in the room Ji Lingruo, seeing that the Third Elder had disappeared, began to breathe heavily, her face still showing lingering fear.

Seeing You Su's calm demeanor, she said with shame and indignation:

"It's all your fault! You said the early bird catches the worm! If I hadn't been sharp-eyed, the Third Elder would have found out!"

Ji Lingruo took out the remote control for the Heavenly Ladder. It only had the words "up" and "down" on it, and the "up" button was off, indicating that the Heavenly Ladder was stopped at the mountaintop and could not go any further.

She and You Su never went down the mountain; normally speaking, the word "up" was indeed always extinguished.

Ji Lingruo was also in a daze while lying on the bed when she noticed the word "up" go from bright to dark. She was immediately startled and forced out by You Su.

Fortunately, the absurd incident occurred after the two had gotten up and dressed, which led to the massage scene.

"Junior sister is incredibly meticulous; senior brother truly admires her."

It must be admitted that Ji Lingruo indeed exceptionally talented in reconnaissance, which may be a racial trait of the snake race.

"But if it weren't for my junior sister wanting to share a bed with her senior brother last night... ouch!"

You Su's waist was pinched again, and she hissed in pain.

"I'm just too tired. Why don't you sleep in my room?"

The two of them have become increasingly unrestrained these days. Without their senior sister's presence, Lotus Peak has become their paradise.

You Su even bought three days' worth of food and stayed on Lotus Peak all day cultivating with his junior sister.

Not only their room, but also the bathroom, kitchen, and yard bore the marks of their battle.

Half of it was for the significant progress brought about by cultivating the Joyous Union Technique, while the other half was entirely due to the instinctive intimacy of young lovers.

You Su had somehow appeared behind the girl and whispered in her ear:

"Junior Sister was tired before, but thanks to the Third Elder's nourishment, she's not tired anymore. It's me, her senior brother, who's still exhausted."

Ji Lingruo feeling very uncomfortable, so she quietly moved her head away and spat:

"What are you talking about? I was the one who was tired the whole time..."

"The path of cultivation is most vulnerable to giving up halfway, junior sister, I'm so tired of enduring... Let's continue..."

You Su rested her head on Ji Lingruo's shoulder and nuzzled the girl's head, as if she were being affectionate.

Ji Lingruo bit her lower lip in embarrassment, and her legs pressed even tighter together.

She was still unsatisfied with the abrupt ending. Furthermore, You Su's candid confession to the Third Elder had struck a chord with her.

She had heard many sweet words from You Su, but whispering them in private was a completely different experience from saying them in front of others, especially in front of respected elders...

The young girl's heart had long since melted, but You Su continued to stir things up in her ear.

She felt dizzy and somehow ended up slumped over the table by the window.

She was very familiar with this spot, and with You Su's encouragement over the past few days, she had become much bolder. She looked nervously out the window and, half-heartedly, tacitly allowed You Su to push her up.

"Quickly defeat them... quickly!"

Ji Lingruo bit her lower lip in embarrassment and anxiety, caught in a dilemma of wanting to enjoy it but not daring to.

Having neither the inclination to cultivate both Mystic Qi nor the desire to indulge in pure pleasure, he took out the letter his sister had sent and opened it, hoping to distract himself.

The letter on the paper was written in Ji Xueruo's own handwriting. Although it was written by a woman, the handwriting was beautiful and had an indescribable air of nobility.

Ji Xueruo first expressed her concern for her younger sister's life, then answered some questions from her sister's letter, and said that everything was well with the snake clan. She also informed her of the good news that the snake clan and the Golden Peng Clan of Shenshan had made contact.

The table kept shaking, and Ji Lingruo revealed a gentle smile from the bottom of her heart. She felt that she was completely filled, both physically and mentally, and was extremely happy.

The girl continued reading, and sure enough, her older sister couldn't resist mentioning You Su's name.

However, he was actually scolding her for being more discreet, telling her not to act like she'd never seen a man before, and that she wasn't even officially married yet, so how could she be doing that with You Su?

This caused her great distress, as they were separated by the two sides of the strait. Then, she changed the subject and sarcastically expressed her envy that her younger sister could travel and enjoy the scenery with You Su. She also reminisced about her brief but unforgettable experience at Jade Ring Pool and then subtly hinted that You Su had said some things that made her feel embarrassed.

The final line, "Perhaps You Su is in front of you, but thinking of someone else," is a devastating blow, completely igniting Ji Lingruo's rebellious and competitive spirit.

Ji Lingruo tensed up in anger, You Su felt his scalp tingle and hissed repeatedly.

"I'm asking you! Are you going to have sex with my sister or with me?!"

You Su immediately guessed that it must have been Miss Xue Ruo who said something provocative to her junior sister in the letter, but those were just bedroom words and couldn't be taken seriously.

These two snake demon sisters are naturally like spring orchids and autumn chrysanthemums, each with their own strengths and advantages, and there is no question of which is better or worse.

However, with his junior sister in front of him, he couldn't possibly praise other women.

"Of course it's my junior sister! My Junior Sister is Number One in the World!"

Upon Ji Lingruo smiled smugly, "Then call me by my name, not 'Junior Sister,' but 'Lingruo'..."

Unable to contain his feelings, You Su naturally obeyed his every whim.

However, Ji Lingruo's victorious demeanor did not last long. A moment of relaxation led to a complete collapse of her army, resulting in a crushing defeat.

"Junior sister, has your sister replied to me?" You Su asked breathlessly.

Ji Lingruo seductive eyes, unfolded the last small piece of paper, on which were written a few concise words:

'I don't understand. Next time, say something more meaningful.'

Ji Lingruo glanced back at You Su, who was looking at her expectantly, and couldn't help but laugh out loud. She then stuffed the small piece of paper into his arms.

"See for yourself."

After saying that, she struggled to sit up, clutched her skirt tightly, and slunk away to her room with awkward steps.

You Su carefully tidied up the mess before putting the letter Xue Ruo had sent into his Universe Bag and reading it.

Upon seeing the words on the paper, he couldn't help but chuckle and shake his head slightly.

The proud Miss Xue Ruo demonstrated an exceptional ability to appreciate poetry at Jade Ring Pool. It's impossible that she couldn't understand the meaning of the words, let alone the emotional metaphors.

The reply was brief and forceful, tinged with a subtle ruthlessness.

Perhaps she was ashamed to respond because she knew her sister would definitely read their correspondence, or perhaps she simply didn't dare to directly confront You Su's 'wolf's ambitions'.

Her comment, "Next time, say something of value," revealed her true thoughts; she was still looking forward to You Su's reply.

You Su found it amusing and thought to herself that next time she must write even more bluntly, until Miss Xue Ruo couldn't help but reply with a few more words.

So he carefully folded the small piece of paper and treasured it.

When the Third Elder returned, Ji Lingruo had already closed her door and was not going out, while You Su still had that clear and bright smile, seemingly extremely happy.

You Su didn't wait until the afternoon; she went directly to Bihua Peak with the Third Elder.

Upon arriving at the Bihua Pavilion, they discovered that it wasn't Si Han Sister Sihan who had been talking about them, but the Third Elder.

When faced with a problem and at a loss, the Third Elder would subconsciously ask, "Where 'You Su? Why isn't he here?"

The Third Elder was exposed by his disciples in front of everyone, which made him lose face. Fortunately, You Su was very understanding. He blamed himself for neglecting his duties and promised to come more often in the future to help the beautiful woman ease her embarrassment.

He then worked with his fellow senior sisters to resolve the current problems of the Bihua Pavilion one by one, providing effective suggestions for most of them, which earned him their admiration.

You Su was gentle, handsome, and young and promising. He was not only good at winning women's hearts, but also very easy to get close to. Originally, without Ji Lingruo's secret interference, the women thought they could get closer to You Su, but they did not expect that their own master would become the obstacle.

The Third Elder didn't mince words and publicly announced that You Su and Ji Lingruo dao companion, warning the disciples not to spread the word. After all, their cultivation was still shallow, and if they were exposed to the world too early, it would inevitably attract criticism and opposition from those with ulterior motives.

The women were not surprised, as it was obvious. Instead, they praised You Su for his courage in transcending race for love and surrounded him even more closely.

The Third Elder was helpless. He had only explicitly forbidden his disciples from having romantic relationships with the opposite sex, but he had not forbidden them from making friends.

The women thought to themselves that their master was being too nosy. What did it matter to him whether he had dao companion or not?

Not to mention that Lingruo had already become their best friend after so many days of sharing joys and sorrows.

Despite the women's reluctant attempts to persuade him to stay, You Su resolutely returned to Lotus Peak.

When they reached the foot of the mountain, a fellow disciple was waiting for them.

Only after talking did I learn that this was a senior disciple from the outer sect who was in charge of delivering messages.

I came here to find You Su because I have a letter to deliver to him.

You Su could tell from the touch that the letter was expensively packaged, and she felt a surge of curiosity: who would send her a letter?

Could it be that Miss Xue Ruo sent her a letter separately?

However, You Su was not qualified to receive such intercontinental letters on his own, otherwise he would not have asked the Third Elder to deliver them.

It couldn't be Yu Meng and Yu Long from Jade Ring Pool, could it...?

He wasn't dwelling on the twin sisters; he was simply curious about the current state of Jade Ring Pool, whether the Xiao Yu was safe, and whether it had taken on the responsibility of restoring the Jade Ring Pool.

However, Jade Ring Pool was placed under strict control after the incident, making it unlikely that he could send a letter to her alone.

Who could it be?

You Su quickly tore open the letter, but before he could put it into his Universe Bag to read it, he discovered that the envelope contained not only paper but also a piece of thin gauze.

The fabric felt smooth and dense to the touch; You Su was extremely familiar with this texture, so it was undoubtedly stockings.

He then brought it to his nose and sniffed it lightly. The fragrance was light yet not bland, clear yet not cold, just the unique scent of his senior sister!

But how come there are pieces of my senior's stockings here?!

You Su's brows furrowed instantly, his heart pounding like a drum, as he read the contents of the letter—

To You Su. You Su:

I have long admired you, but have had no way to visit you. It just so happens that your senior sister is visiting Jinhua City, and she has specially invited you to come and chat. If you are free, I will prepare flowers in anticipation.

This invitation is extended to you.

-- Qianhua Venerable.
