I May Not Get to See You Again

While using Technique Method to shield the two younger members behind him from the wind and keep them warm, the Third Elder kept steer the Green Boat without stopping, finally returning to Lotus Peak before nightfall.

But when she went up the mountain, she found that even Ji Lingruo was meditating and breaking through her cultivation.

But when I came looking for the girl last night, she showed absolutely no signs of wanting to break through...

How could this be? Is there really such a coincidence in the world?

Three siblings from the same sect, a senior and a junior, simultaneously broke through their cultivation levels?

The Third Elder found it incomprehensible and couldn't understand why. Surely, it couldn't be said that these three were destined to be fellow disciples sharing both glory and hardship?

However, she was naturally pleased that her favorite junior had improved his cultivation level, and she became even more envious of the Thirteenth Elder.

It is truly a blessing to have so many disciples who are not only exceptionally talented but also diligent and self-motivated.

After You Su and Wangshu in, she placed calming incense arrays around each of them before finally resting.

Looking at the boy meditating with his eyes lowered, she felt a pang of sadness.

To be honest, this was the first time she had ever felt insecure because of a man...

Having received help from You Su before, she felt that this young man was quite good. Although his achievements were great, she could still give You Su appropriate compensation.

However, the appearance of Qianhua Venerable made her realize that You Su's reasons for helping her were extremely untenable.

Is it because she is the Third Elder of the Xuanxiao Sect? Or is it because she has a good relationship with Lotus Peak, and because Lingruo and Wangshu are involved in the Bihua Pavilion?

However, none of these reasons had anything to do with You Su. It was only after the appearance of Qianhua Venerable, who had gone so far as to personally seduce the boy, that she realized she had been too arrogant and had always taken the boy's help for granted.

Sigh... it seems we'll have to offer some additional conditions to keep You Su...

I think Si Han is interested in him, so perhaps...

For the next few days, Lotus Peak remained quiet and peaceful.

The first to wake up was Ji Lingruo, who had broken through from the Spirit Platform Middle Stage to the upper stage of the Spirit Platform Realm, making the smallest progress among the three.

The girl was somewhat incredulous that she had actually leaped from the Channel Opening Realm to the Spirit Platform Realm in just two months, directly crossing an entire major realm.

Those who didn't know better would think she was a once-in-a-millennium genius, but seeing the increasingly radiant Demon Core, she was quite certain—

This was the power her senior brother had given her, just like the feeling she had after their first dual cultivation session in the Black Coffin.

Although she didn't know how her senior brother had done it, she knew it wasn't something she could tell the Third Elder. So when the Third Elder questioned her, she used the excuse that she had received the Snake Ancestor's baptism to deflect the question.

The second person to wake up was You Su.

You Su let out a long breath, feeling as if her clothes were stuck to her skin.

This breakthrough to a higher realm is not only an improvement in cultivation level, but also a process of cleansing and purifying the body, allowing the physical body to match the strength of cultivation.

You Su looked inward at his spiritual platform and found it completely empty. The previously radiant and vibrant gaseous Mystic Qi had dissipated, transforming into a thin layer of water within the platform. However, You Su felt no sense of disappointment; instead, he was overjoyed, for this was highly refined liquid Mystic Qi.

This was a completely different feeling, a true qualitative change. Only when You Su experienced this real and profound sense of power did he finally realize how remarkable his previous feat of being able to kill a cultivator at the Condensing Water Realm was.

In Ji Lingruo's eyes, You Su seemed to have been reborn, his temperament becoming more reserved and unfathomable.

If she had seen You Su before, she would have felt resentful, thinking that she might not necessarily lose to her senior brother if they really fought to the death. But facing You Su now, she couldn't muster any desire to challenge him.

But how could Senior Brother have broken through in just three days in Jinhua City? It couldn't have been from dual cultivation with Qianhua Venerable, could it? But with such a huge difference in cultivation levels, the side effects would far outweigh the positive ones.

"Senior brother, what exactly happened?" Ji Lingruo asked seriously. "Is my breakthrough related to you?"

You Su had no intention of hiding anything and told his junior sister about Qianhua Venerable's conspiracy.

"Did you see your senior sister's face?"

"Um."

"And you..."

"When I saw my junior sister from my dreams in Chuyun City, I still believed she was my junior sister."

Ji Lingruo pursed her lips. Her senior brother was blind, so his perception of people was based more on emotional relationships than on appearance. It was precisely this that made him value these emotions so much, which was how he was able to win the hearts of the women around him.

"But even my senior sister isn't..."

"Senior sister is trying her best to become human again, junior sister, please don't despise her, it will make her sad."

"What's there to complain about? Shouldn't you be the one complaining?"

Ji Lingruo rolled her eyes. She had already accepted this identity the moment her senior sister turned back to save her without hesitation. When she saw the panic in her senior sister's eyes when her mask broke, she, as a foreign race in human territory, felt the same way. That's why she was more affectionate towards Wangshu and wanted to soothe her senior sister's emotions.

You Su was taken aback. "Why would I dislike it?"

Ji Lingruo coughed a few times, her face flushed, feeling ashamed that she had associated such a pure senior sister with that kind of thing.

"Guess for yourself." Ji Lingruo pouted her red lips. "That Qianhua Venerable is simply too hateful! How did you manage to turn the tables and win?"

You Su smiled and explained the relationship between the God and His retinue to her, but he did not introduce her and Miss Xue Ruo as retinues.

You Su felt that the term "family members" carried too much of a subordinate connotation, and he did not want them to become his appendages. Therefore, he named these special family members who had received his Source Qi "Family Member".

"So you mean you've taken a Void Glimpse Venerable your slave, someone who listens to everything you say?!"

"That's one way to understand it..."

Ji Lingruo glanced suspiciously at You Su's body, "You wouldn't be with her..."

"What nonsense are you thinking, junior sister? That's a really bad woman. I was just returning the favor she did to me. Your cultivation comes from her."

You Su then explained the reason for this unexpected blessing to Ji Lingruo. The girl was somewhat surprised, but then her beautiful eyes lit up with admiration:

"So, we can drain her dry and never have to cultivate again?"

The girl's face was full of excitement; she felt absolutely no sympathy for this vicious and wicked woman.

You Su still felt lingering fear when she recalled the pain she felt upon receiving the gift, and shook her head, saying, "I'm afraid it's not that simple."

The two chatted for a while longer, Ji Lingruo couldn't stand the stench emanating from You Su any longer. She ordered him to take a shower and change his clothes, while she went to her senior sister's room to keep watch.

You Su took off his clothes in the bathroom, then suddenly seemed to remember something and took out the Xuanji Token from his Universe Bag.

Sure enough, it was discovered that the order had already amassed a large amount of information.

The majority of the messages came from Brother He, while there was only one message from Lord Ash.

Upon seeing the latest message from Brother He, You Su immediately tensed up:

"Brother You, come to my house quickly, I might... never see you again."
