What Did She Do to You Su?
The Third Elder closed his eyes, focusing intently on sensing the changes within the girl's body, completely ignoring what the other two people in the room were doing.
She wasn't unfamiliar with examining the girl's body, but today she sensed something different about what was happening inside. Normally, a cultivator's Mystic Qi should flow towards the spiritual platform in the lower abdomen, but Wangshu's Mystic Qi seemed to be subtly rising, as if it were about to...
Gathered on his face...
This usually happens when there is an injury somewhere, and the body will allocate resources to the wound in order to help it heal quickly.
Could it be that Wangshu injured her face?
The Third Elder hesitated; she naturally couldn't bring herself to remove Wangshu's mask while she was unconscious.
However, considering what that fellow Painting Cultivator had said, Wangshu's face was probably inextricably linked to this wicked woman.
It's strange, but Wangshu had known this girl since she was very young, and over the years, Wangshu had never been sick or even injured.
Having completed so many missions, the only treatment he received was for a coma caused by a depletion of his Mystic Qi, and even that was extremely rare.
As a seasoned physician, the Third Elder knew that such a situation was extremely rare, even for a cultivator; this young girl must possess some unknown secret...
Just as the Third Elder's delicate brows furrowed slightly, Qianhua Venerable also furrowed his brows at the same time.
She glared at the boy who had personally 'put' the bird bell necklace on her, her lips trembling slightly, her eyes shimmering with disbelief.
You Su smiled at her, as if to say: Can you behave yourself now?
After laughing, he casually tore off a curtain to wipe the water off his hands.
Despite her trembling body and mind, Qianhua Venerable clenched and unclenched her fists, then took a wide robe to cover her trembling body.
After a while, the Third Elder withdrew his hand and took out a Calming Grass from his Universe Bag, placing it in the girl's hand.
You Su quickly came over and asked with concern, "Third Elder, is Senior Sister alright?"
"There's nothing seriously wrong; on the contrary, there's been a breakthrough."
The Third Elder stood up and exclaimed, "Reaching the mid-stage of the Feather Transformation Realm at the age of forty-nine, Xiao Wangshu is truly a genius among geniuses."
You Su was also extremely surprised, never expecting that her senior sister would actually benefit from the misfortune and even make a breakthrough.
"Why is Senior Sister still unconscious?"
"Although she has broken through, her spiritual platform is deficient, so her body is forcing her to rest."
"I see, that's good."
You Su nodded in agreement, remarking that her senior sister's breakthrough had come too easily.
The Third Elder's expression suddenly turned cold and sharp; this naturally alluring woman had a unique charm when she got angry.
"What exactly happened to you? How could Wangshu's Mystic Qi be so depleted?"
"It's all this evil spirit's doing."
You Su pointed to the strange spotted fish lying on the ground, and the Third Elder looked over in that direction.
Unfortunately, this Thousand-Faced Leopard also reached the end of its life. After wriggling twice more, it turned into a pool of black water and then disappeared.
"How did he die?"
The Third Elder was somewhat anxious. For Wangshu to be driven to this extent, this evil spirit must be extraordinary.
"If we don't kill it, it will only escape again."
You Su deliberately left the spotted fish alive, just to prove something to the Third Elder. Otherwise, without physical evidence, he would have no way to defend himself.
The Third Elder's expression was solemn as he turned to look at the aloof and beautiful woman standing silently to his side.
She intended to question the evil spirits, but she keenly noticed that Qianhua Venerable's complexion was somewhat flushed and odd...
"Are you cold? Why are you breathing on yourself?"
For Void Glimpse Venerable, who is impervious to heat and cold, Qianhua Venerable was indeed wearing too much. Most importantly, on this winter morning, the warm breath she exhaled from her lips was tangible and clearly visible.
Qianhua Venerable felt slightly embarrassed; her breath wasn't from the cold, but from unbearable discomfort...
She pushed up her gold-rimmed glasses and scoffed:
"Your aesthetic sense is still so low-level. This is called Layered Wear, don't you know? The purpose is to add layers and details to the clothes, making the outfit more sophisticated. If you don't understand, go learn more. Don't just wear one cheongsam all day and think you're so beautiful."
As he spoke, he slightly pulled open his outer robe to show the Third Elder all his outfits.
The Third Elder's expression was gloomy and uncertain, his proud, full breasts standing tall, clearly indicating that he was extremely angry.
She scrutinized Qianhua Venerable's entire body. His long, pure black fur coat reached his calves, and when it was open, a black and gold cheongsam was lining underneath. His feet were wrapped in thin, alluring black stockings, and the cheongsam was short, just enough to reveal his knees and calves.
This outfit was indeed very sophisticated, both dignified and charming. The Third Elder wanted to refute it, but he had to admit the aesthetic sense of the Pavilion Master of the Qianhua Pavilion.
A glint suddenly flashed in her eyes as she noticed a flaw in her outfit:
"Why are your stockings torn?"
Upon hearing this, You Su, the culprit, froze, and quietly lowered his head even further.
Qianhua Venerable's expression also turned somewhat unpleasant, and he glanced at You Su without realizing it.
She wore those black stockings all night, how could there not be any marks? She felt so refreshed after the Cleansing Technique that she completely forgot to change...
"An outsider is an outsider. This is a new design we're experimenting with, because destroying aesthetics is itself a form of beauty. Forget it, you wouldn't understand anyway."
The Third Elder curled her lips in disdain. She had heard these words just two days ago, from You Su, who had proposed the new product.
The wicked woman's stockings were ripped haphazardly, incomparable to the ripped stockings designed by You Su. How dare she show them off in front of her?
"It does have a certain charm, it's quite nice. If your Qianhua Pavilion sells this kind of thing, you'll definitely make a fortune."
The Third Elder retorted sarcastically, then, remembering the important matter, asked seriously, "Did you discover this evil spirit?"
"Otherwise?"
"I'm here to ask about serious matters, so you'd better watch your attitude!"
The Third Elder's voice was stern, and her impressive bust made her appear extremely intimidating. Whether as their elder or a high-ranking official of the Evil Warding Department, she was qualified to investigate this strange evil spirit.
"How was my attitude bad?!"
Qianhua Venerable glared back, not backing down.
You Su slightly raised his head behind the Third Elder, a cold glint flashing in his eyes. Qianhua Venerable caught a glimpse of this and his heart skipped a beat, his aura weakening slightly.
"I discovered it, and I also sent a message to the Venerable Tian Shu, asking him to send someone to exorcise the evil."
"Is there any evil spirit that can appear in your Jinhua City that you can't deal with?"
Although Qianhua Venerable is not the city lord of Jinhua City, it is one of the few cities with a Void Realm expert stationed there, so its safety is naturally guaranteed.
"This evil spirit is not as simple as you think. It is not very harmful, but although it is Flesh and Blood Type, it is better at hiding than evil spirits Dream Master Type. It is ever-changing and can transform into any object it attaches to, appearing perfect and flawless, yet its Evil Qi is faint, making it impossible to find."
The Third Elder was taken aback. "You're not exaggerating?"
"It's impossible to find it with the naked eye. Otherwise, why would I need to ask the Evil Warding Department for help? If you don't believe me, you can ask Young Master You next to you."
Hearing the repeated address of "Young Master You," the Third Elder felt a sense of unease. "You Su, is what she said true?"
"Reporting to the Third Elder, it is true. When I found this evil spirit, it was still in the shape of a candle. Only after I killed it did it transform into its true form as you just saw."
"Did you kill this evil spirit? Or not your senior sister?"
"It's indistinguishable to the naked eye, You Su can tell the difference," You Su confessed.
After pondering for a moment, the Third Elder suddenly realized that although this monster could Humanoid Transformation and hide, and even Wangshu and Qianhua Venerable could not distinguish it, it was nowhere to hide from the invisible You Su.
Even if it takes human form, it is still an evil spirit. If You Su suddenly sees a candle, it would be strange if it weren't an evil spirit.
From this perspective, the Third Elder finally understood why the First Elder said that You Su's blindness existed so that he could better see through the evil in the world.
"You've done a good job."
The Third Elder affirmed You Su's abilities; only You Su could easily eliminate such a hidden danger.
"Evil spirits Humanoid Transformation? This is an unheard-of ability. Could it be that other evil spirits are also openly hiding among the five continents?"
The Third Elder muttered to himself, and Qianhua Venerable glanced at You Su, saying meaningfully:
"I'm afraid it's not an isolated case."
The Third Elder's expression was grim as he nervously considered the situation.
"Evil spirits have existed for thousands of years, yet there has never been any record of such abilities. It is likely that evil spirits have evolved to a level that is beyond our imagination."
His tone was full of concern for the situation in the Five Continents.
"When I left the Evil Warding Department, I said that the Divine Radiance Stone blocking the coastline, on the surface, allows humanity to live carefree and save a lot of manpower and resources, but in reality, it also deprives us of the opportunity to directly contact evil spirits. Once they break through the Divine Radiance Stone, humanity will be helpless against those unfamiliar terrors."
"Isn't this the view of Immeasurable Seat of the Northern Ao Continent? When did you say this when you left? Didn't you say at the time that you would come back to focus on managing Qianhua Pavilion?"
The Third Elder, showing no mercy, undermined her, too lazy to bother with this wicked woman who had betrayed her faith in exorcism, and instead asked You Su:
"So the First Elder sent Wangshu to exorcise the evil, but Wangshu couldn't find it either, and then Wangshu recommended you?"
The Third Elder's idea and You Su's preparations coincided perfectly.
"I am indeed here to help."
The Third Elder nodded slightly, secretly relieved: He had thought the child had already fallen victim to that wicked woman's cruelty...
But she also knew there was no smoke without fire, and asked seriously:
"If you say this evil spirit isn't very harmful, how come it managed to force Wangshu to this extent? And you're completely unharmed? Did you just watch the junior fight the whole time?"
"This evil spirit is indeed harmless, but it is still Flesh and Blood Type feeds on human flesh. It hid within Wangshu Fairy, absorbing her power, which is why we didn't notice it until we thought Wangshu Fairy was ill. It was only when Young Master You arrived that we learned she was possessed by an evil spirit."
Qianhua Venerable offered a relatively reasonable explanation.
The Third Elder remained skeptical, but in any case, the two were unharmed and the evil spirits had been exorcised, so they were indeed safe on the surface.
The exact details will have to be determined after Wangshu awakens.
Just then, Wangshu opened her eyes drowsily, her long, snow-white eyelashes trembling slightly, a sight that was utterly captivating.
"Junior brother..."
"Senior sister, I'm here."
You Su quickly grasped the hand that Wangshu offered. The Third Elder's eyes were sharp, and his expression was somewhat off.
"Cough! Cough!"
You Su instinctively wanted to let go, but Wangshu didn't give him the chance.
Upon seeing this Qianhua Venerable sneered, his eyes filled with mockery as he glanced at the alluring woman.
A voice transmission suddenly entered the Third Elder's ears:
"They're not your disciple, why are you meddling so much and making a fool of yourself? You're just inviting trouble."
The Third Elder, his face full of anger, replied telepathically as well:
"Why are you keeping your feet so close together? Doesn't the Pavilion Master Qianhua Pavilion pride himself on being unparalleled? Why does he also like to keep his tail between his legs?"
Qianhua Venerable's beautiful eyes sparkled, and she unconsciously rubbed her plump thigh against her.
She doesn't live a life of timidity; she lives a life 'wearing' a bird bell.
Qianhua Venerable glared at her and didn't argue with her anymore, lest this woman discover the indecent things under his skirt.
"Junior brother, where is Thousand-Faced Leopard?"
"I've already exorcised it."
Wangshu touched the familiar Rabbit Mask on her face, her eyes dimming slightly before brightening again. She nodded and said:
"That's good."
Having gone through so much, this young girl will no longer have any lingering attachment to that fake face.
You Su smiled gently. Not only had her cultivation improved, but she had also grown as a person. She quickly helped her up.
"Third Elder," Wangshu greeted him.
"Hmm, are you feeling unwell?"
The Third Elder placed his hand on the girl's shoulder and checked her over again.
Wangshu obediently shook her head, "Why would the Third Elder come here? Is he here to attack Qianhua Pavilion?"
??
"Of course not! Why would my Bihua Pavilion need such methods to grow stronger?" The Third Elder was truly amazed by the girl's shocking words. "I heard that you and your junior brother appeared at the Qianhua Pavilion, and I was afraid that this woman might be a threat to you, so I rushed here to save you."
"Ha! You planted a spy in my Qianhua Pavilion?"
Qianhua Venerable looked at the Third Elder with disdain, as if he were contemptuous of such a treacherous tactic. "I didn't target your Bihua Pavilion, yet your Bihua Pavilion has targeted me first."
"How about it? Guess!"
The Third Elder, of course, had no ulterior motives. At this moment, he didn't care about the dignity of the righteous Fairy; all he wanted was to make Qianhua Venerable feel uncomfortable.
"You couldn't have come up with such a despicable trick? Don't fool yourself. You just found out from some foreign guest of my Qianhua Pavilion."
When it comes to cunning, Qianhua Venerable is far superior to the Third Elder, easily seeing through the Third Elder's pretense.
The Third Elder gritted his teeth and, deciding to lay his cards on the table, asked fiercely:
"Then let me ask you! What do you mean by Wangshu wanting to become the spokesperson for your Qianhua Pavilion and remove the mask for your Qianhua Pavilion? What exactly did you blackmail this child for?!"
Guess.
Qianhua Venerable also followed the Third Elder's trick in answering, but in reality, she hadn't prepared a good answer either. After all, the ten painters were right below, and the excuse of it being fake news was simply untenable.
Raising evil spirits without permission and abducting Goddess to be corrupted by evil—these are serious crimes, and the punishment for them is considerable.
Besides, if this conversation continues, everything could very well be revealed.
"You dare not say it?"
The Third Elder's beautiful eyes narrowed slightly, her tone chilling, "Wangshu, what exactly did she do to you? Speak boldly, and the Third Elder will uphold justice for you!"
Both You Su and Qianhua Venerable widened their pupils slightly, looking nervously at the girl.
After all, this girl has never been one to lie...
"Qianhua Venerable said that if I joined Qianhua Pavilion and took off my mask to become her spokesperson, she would stop targeting Bihua Pavilion. I didn't want everyone's efforts to fail, so I agreed. But later I changed my mind because I felt that with my junior brother, the Third Elder, and everyone else, we definitely wouldn't fail! I wanted to work hard together with everyone, so I didn't take off my mask!"
You Su's pupils widened even further; his senior sister's remarks were somewhat unexpected, so perfect that they were almost flawless...
He once again changed his understanding of his senior sister. She did not lie, but she knew exactly what to say. This girl, who could see people's emotions, knew very well what to say so as not to offend others.
The Third Elder was deeply moved, his eyes sparkling like autumn waves, and he gently embraced the girl.
"Xiao Wangshu is right, we definitely won't fail together, there's no need to be afraid of this bad woman..."
She turned back and glared angrily at Qianhua Venerable, "You're capable of poaching people's talent! What else wouldn't you do! I thought your previous suppression of my Bihua Pavilion was the lowest you could go, but I never expected you to be even worse than I thought! I'm warning you! If you ever have such thoughts again, I will definitely tear down your Qianhua Pavilion!"
Compared to the previous charges, the infamy of poaching someone's partner is far less serious.
Qianhua Venerable pursed her lips, knowing she had to choose one of the two.
"I was just joking. It didn't even work out, why are you so anxious? Don't you have any confidence in your own employees?"
"You!" The Third Elder made a move to attack again.
At this moment, Wangshu covered her head, her eyes showing pain.
"Senior sister, what's wrong?" You Su quickly helped the girl up.
Wangshu shook her head and said softly, "I don't want to stay here anymore. I want to go home to find my master..."
The Third Elder quickly checked the girl's pulse and exclaimed in alarm, "Her body was weakened when she broke through, and her cultivation level is at risk of dropping. She must go into seclusion as soon as possible to stabilize her cultivation!"
"Third Elder, I want to go home..."
The Third Elder also knew that this place was enemy territory and not suitable for the young girl to cultivate in seclusion. Moreover, the most important thing to avoid when breaking through is having no clear mind. The girl wanted to return to the peak because she was most familiar with it and could be more focused when breaking through.
"Take the Calming Grass with you; the Third Elder will escort you back," the Third Elder gently instructed. "Let's go now."
Wangshu nodded.
"Wait a minute." Qianhua Venerable suddenly called out to the two, "Young Master You, I have two things to say to you."
The Third Elder glared at him angrily, "What are you trying to do? Deliberately delay?"
Wangshu shook her head. "It's alright, Third Elder. I'm fine."
You Su shook Wangshu's hand, and Wangshu shook his hand in return.
After receiving permission, You Su followed Qianhua Venerable out the door.
After the two left, the Third Elder grabbed Wangshu and asked mysteriously, "Little Wangshu, did Qianhua Venerable do anything to your junior brother?"
Wangshu rubbed her chin and nodded emphatically.
The Third Elder frowned deeply. "What did she do?"
"Strip naked, kneel on the ground, and shake your buttocks at your junior brother."
"What?!"
