Your Master's About to Have a Granddisciple! (54k)

You Su certainly didn't choose to be distracted by looking for He Kongyue.

Falling Star Valley is located on the west side of the Central Yuan Continent. If you travel another two hundred miles west from here, you can even smell the slightly dusty sea breeze blowing from the west coast.

Therefore, two days were already a tight schedule to get back to Mount Henggao from Falling Star Valley, leaving no time for him to take a detour to find people.

Regardless of whether the gates to the He family's secret realm would be open to them, since they were currently in seclusion, he had no reason to disturb them.

"It seems that women are more important to you than brothers."

When Tao Yaoyao learned the reason why You Su was so eager to return to the peak, a smile of approval appeared on her rosy face.

You Su coughed awkwardly twice, as if no explanation would quite fit. "There are priorities, and I believe Brother He will understand."

"Yes, yes, but I was just asking. After all, I don't know exactly where the He family's secret realm is."

You Su sighed and smiled wryly, while Tao Yaoyao looked smug, her cute expression making it impossible to feel annoyed by her provocation.

Clearly, You Su's emphasis on her lover's birthday resonated with this playful young woman, giving the impression that she was considering her best friend's feelings for her crush. Her subtle nods seemed to say, "Your behavior is exactly what my best friend wants."

"By the way, Young Master You, have you heard any of the rumors circulating lately...?"

You Su knew exactly what the girl wanted to ask, but he found it amusing. Sister Yaoyao looked young, she was much more cunning than Sister Yiyi, and she even hesitated to ask the question she wanted to ask.

"Let me clarify, this is not a rumor, it's true."

You Su's frankness made Tao Yaoyao's beautiful eyes widen and her mouth slightly open. This meant that her divine son Goddess had really gotten together.

Although the Evil Warding Department didn't explicitly forbid romance between Goddess, she still found it hard to believe. After all, that was the lofty and immaculate Goddess Wangshu...

In her opinion, there were very few women in the entire Five Continents who could rival her master, Lord Hua Jing, and Goddess Wangshu was one of them. How did You Su manage to get her?

Sister Yiyi is in danger...

"Young Master You... may I ask you another question?"

You Su raised an eyebrow; how could he not guess the girl's thoughts?

"Senior Sister has her reasons for not removing her mask; Sister Yaoyao needn't ask. Besides, I'm blind, how would I know?"

Tao Yaoyao eyebrows furrowed, as if she had been misunderstood and greatly wronged. "How could I have meant that? I shouldn't pry into things I shouldn't pry into. I am, after all, the head's personal attendant, so I naturally understand this principle."

"What would you like to ask, Sister Yaoyao?"

Tao Yaoyao bit her lower lip and quietly moved closer to You Su. The sweet milky scent made You Su unconsciously lean back and avoid her.

"What I wanted to ask was... you are a divine son, and she is Goddess, both known as the natural enemies of evil spirits. Now that you two are dao companion, wouldn't your baby directly become the Lord of Evil Spirits?"

You Su's lips twitched. "I don't think there's such a saying... Besides, I'm still young and don't have any plans to have children right now."

Tao Yaoyao continued to probe, "What if things really escalate and she gets pregnant?"

You Su was somewhat embarrassed by the woman's question, but he still said in a deep voice, "Then I will naturally take on the responsibilities of a father."

Tao Yaoyao nodded solemnly, but her heart sank again. It seemed that the divine son Goddess had already completed their dual cultivation, making it even more difficult for Sister Yiyi to squeeze in.

But she still couldn't imagine what the pure and innocent Jade Rabbit Fairy would look like in bed.

However, she had learned from storybooks that the colder the exterior, the greater the contrast.

Since she was already sitting quite close, Tao Yaoyao was too lazy to move back and continued to ask curiously:

"Young Master You, how did you manage to win over the Goddess Wangshu? I heard that your junior sister and you are deeply in love, and she is Demon Race. Tell me all about it!"

You Su stroked his chin, still somewhat hesitant.

Tao Yaoyao then sat closer, supporting her small, fragrant bottom, and personally poured You Su a cup of milk tea. She grabbed You Su's sleeve and begged repeatedly, her voice soft and sweet.

"Young Master You, to be honest, I have a sister who also has someone she likes, but she doesn't know how to pursue him. Could you teach me?"

You might as well just say your sister's name is Zi Yiyi...

You Su felt like she was sitting on pins and needles, afraid that her arm would touch something soft and unsightly that she shouldn't, and repeatedly said, "Fairy, please have some self-respect."

He was a married man, how could he be so intimate with another woman when they were alone together? But seeing her shameless and coquettish manner, he had no choice but to agree.

Tao Yaoyao had discovered You Su's weakness. She found it amusing that the Divine Child, who already had two dao companion, still pretended to be reserved. She found You Su even more adorable and would often wiggle her butt to scare him.

The White Horse Carriage chair was spacious enough for the two of them, with two rows of seats. However You Su was forced into a corner and finally had to threaten to stop talking to Tao Yaoyao until she sat still.

After this argument, the two became much less distant, and their conversations were more like those between good friends than superior and subordinate.

After two days of full-speed travel, the White Horse Carriage finally arrived at the Xuanxiao Sect at dusk.

You Su quickly got out of the sedan chair and fled, causing Tao Yaoyao to tease him so much that the fruit trembled wildly.

By the time You Su had rushed up the mountain at full speed, it was nearly dusk, and the twilight was already setting.

The peaks and giant trees gleamed in the setting sun, tinged with a faint orange-gold hue, exuding a sacred aura.

You Su felt secretly fortunate; although it was a bit late, at least she made it in time.

But as soon as he arrived at the mountain, he was greeted not by his junior sister or senior sister, but by the plump and beautiful Third Elder.

"Third Elder!"

You Su greeted her with a light smile, but he felt a sense of unease about the wealthy woman, a feeling that something terrible the Unseen.

"Um."

The Third Elder's response was indeed rather cold, which further confirmed You Su's suspicions.

Clearly, his relationship with the Third Elder had become quite good recently. While he wasn't always all smiles, he was at least no longer wearing a stern expression.

"Why is the Third Elder at Lotus Peak?"

"What, you're not welcoming me?" The Third Elder's tone was slightly sharp.

"How could that be... Lotus Peak would be an honor to our humble abode." You Su said with a forced smile.

"Snort!"

The Third Elder feigned anger, secretly glancing at You Su, who looked wary, "If I hadn't come to Lotus Peak, I wouldn't have known such a big thing had happened!"

You Su was somewhat confused upon hearing this, but her heart was still in her throat. "May I ask, Third Elder... what happened at Lotus Peak?"

"Your Lotus Peak will soon have a fifth person!" the Third Elder said with absolute certainty.

You Su was horrified. "Is Mistress planning to take on another disciple?"

"Ha! Yes, he's about to take on a grand-disciple!" the Third Elder said coldly.

"Grand-disciple?" You Su was momentarily taken aback. "My junior sister and I haven't graduated yet, so we can't possibly take on disciples. Where would a grand-disciple come from?"

"You got your junior sister pregnant. Wouldn't the baby she gives birth to be your grand-disciple?"

These words struck like a bolt from the blue. You Su froze on the spot, feeling as if her heart skipped a beat.

He staggered back a couple of steps, but managed to steady himself. He certainly didn't think the Third Elder was deliberately trying to scare him about something so serious; his feelings were complex and difficult to describe.

Seeing this, the Third Elder knew his goal had been achieved, so he sighed deeply, feigning seriousness. "Sigh... So young, and she didn't know how to restrain herself. Now she regrets it. Go see her... I'm warning you first, Lingruo is in a very bad mood right now, anxious and irritable. Don't upset her, and try not to mention the child. Be kind to her and soothe her emotions, understand?"

You Su's brows furrowed deeply, his expression more solemn than ever before. He nodded emphatically, "Thank you for your hard work, Third Elder."

As soon as he finished speaking, he deftly bypassed the Third Elder and walked straight into the courtyard.

The Third Elder turned back to look at the young man's resolute back, a faint smile curving her rosy lips.

She sighed softly, thinking to herself: Lingruo, this is all the Third Elder can do for you. You two will separate soon, and you'd better make sure this boy treats you well.

You Su stood outside his junior sister's room, his hand hesitating as he prepared to knock.

The child's arrival was so sudden that he wasn't prepared at all.

He had no idea how to give his child a bright future, and he had absolutely no awareness of what it meant to be a father.

Recalling his conversation with Tao Yaoyao, he never expected that her words would come true. He suppressed his anxiety, clenched his fist, and felt an overwhelming sense of responsibility welling up inside him.

The door creaked open, Ji Lingruo was sitting in a chair reading a book, her slender, jade-like feet propped up rather ungracefully on the dressing table in front of her. Her toes, illuminated by the twilight, resembled glistening orange segments, utterly alluring.

"Senior brother?!"

Ji Lingruo pleasantly surprised, her face instantly lighting up with joy. However, she still maintained her usual haughty demeanor, continuing to pretend to flip through the book, her tone as calm as if it were just another ordinary day:

"You're back."

"Um."

You Su agreed softly, then took three steps at a time and immediately grabbed the girl's delicate ankle, startling her so much that she dropped the book to the ground.

"What... what are you doing...?"

Ji Lingruo's face turned as red as blood as she tried to break free from You Su's grasp, but she was powerless to do so.

Or rather, she never intended to break free in the first place...

She kept her head down and spoke in a voice barely above a whisper:

"You just got back... what's the rush... your senior sister might be back any minute..."

The girl lightly touched You Su's chest with her toe, as if to push him away. But instead, she leaned back in her chair, seemingly ready to assume the same posture as the open window...

You Su raised an eyebrow, realizing that his junior sister had misunderstood him. He quickly put her feet on the ground and even helped her put on her brocade shoes to keep her warm.

The girl's delicate feet were held in You Su's hands, causing a warm and itchy sensation in her heart. She had initially considered granting his wish since he had arrived as promised. But instead of continuing to play with her little feet, You Su her shoes on for her.

"Junior sister, why are you crossing your legs for no reason? It's very unseemly," You Su gently reminded the girl as she straightened her feet.

He didn't stop Ji Lingruo because he thought the action was indecent, but because the half-falling position was too dangerous, especially for the child in his junior sister's womb.

Ji Lingruo, unaware of You Su's feelings, felt it was as absurd as "I've already taken my pants off, and not only are you not interested, you've even put them back on," and couldn't help but feel resentful.

"I'm in my own room, so what if it's indecent? It's none of your business!"

As the girl was speaking, she was about to lift her leg up and cross it again.

You Su quickly pressed her down, even patting her knee as a warning, thinking to herself that her junior sister was indeed in a bad mood and quite rebellious.

But no matter what, the child is ultimately innocent...

"Hey, isn't Junior Sister always such a gentle and charming young lady? You shouldn't be making such unladylike gestures at home."

Ji Lingruo felt disgusted by You Su's kind words and got goosebumps all over her body. Not knowing what had gotten into her senior brother, she kicked You Su in the calf with the toe of her foot.

"Don't you dare slander me. When have I ever been that disgusting?"

"There's no slander at all. My junior sister has always been like this in my heart," You Su said with a smile, her eyes narrowed.

Ji Lingruo shivered, sensing that something was off about You Su; he exuded an ingratiating aura.

Could it be that he made some mistake during those few days he was away on a mission?

Ji Lingruo's counter-surveillance awareness immediately kicked in. Her pert nose twitched slightly, and sure enough, she smelled an unusual fragrance... a sweet, milky scent.

"Where did you get that fragrance from?" Ji Lingruo's voice was thin and cold, like an icicle hanging from the eaves in winter.

You Su realized something was wrong; she had been in such a hurry to get up the mountain that she had forgotten to use orange peel to remove the smell, which was a fatal blow to her extremely sensitive junior sister.

"It smells like the carriage of Sister Yaoyao; she brought me back," You Su explained with a smile. "Sister Yaoyao is another personal attendant of Hua Jing, First Seat, someone my junior sister has mentioned, and she's also Sister Yiyi's good friend."

"Sister Yiyi not here?"

Ji Lingruo still had feelings for Zi Yiyi, after all, it was Zi Yiyi who had saved her from the clutches of the evil Cai Ling.

"Not here..."

"So you're a lone man and a lone woman riding in a sedan chair?"

"The sedan chair doors and windows were wide open, without even drawing the curtains; it was all done openly. Besides, I was in a hurry to get back to celebrate my junior sister's birthday..."

"Nonsense, you fly so high, if you really wanted to do something, even without a sedan chair, no one would be able to see you."

Ji Lingruo rolled her eyes playfully, but seeing that You Su was in a hurry to return home and wasn't really angry, she softened her tone and said, "Next time, you can't be alone with a man. Let Sister Yiyi come along. With her supervising, I'll feel at ease."

So, a lone man and a lone woman won't work, but one man and two women will.

You Su, of course, only dared to complain in his heart, but on the surface he sighed regretfully, "I'm afraid I won't be able to ride in the same carriage with Sister Yiyi anymore..."

"What do you mean? What happened to Sister Yiyi?" Ji Lingruo asked with concern.

You Su paused for a moment, gathered her thoughts, and recounted the incident involving the Mind-Wishing Buddha to the girl.

Of course, You Su tells the story, he still omits unnecessary 'side details'.

Ji Lingruo lips remained closed as she sighed, "I can understand Sister Yiyi quite well. She'll stop at nothing to achieve her goals, but I believe a woman like her won't be truly corrupted by Corrupting Evil. Once everything settles down, she'll come back..."

You Su knew exactly what Ji Lingruo meant: one was to kill the Lord of Dreams, and the other was to avenge his mother.

If my junior sister were still in the state of having lost her Demon Core in Chuyun City, she might eventually choose to walk the path of evil.

He silently held his junior sister's soft hand in his own, saying, "Junior sister, you are not without anything. You have me, I have Xue Ruo, and we also have your senior Mistress. We will never let you be in a situation where you have to resort to any means necessary."

Ji Lingruo felt a surge of tenderness in her heart, as if her body was melting.

Looking at her senior's serious face, she unconsciously found their cheeks getting closer and closer, the atmosphere heated, their breaths mingling, as if they were about to kiss.

"That's right, I will protect my junior sister."

Outside the window, a white-haired, blue-eyed Fairy with a jade rabbit mask carrying a food box spoke confidently.

Looking at the table laden with a dazzling array of dishes, You Su thought that even though it was for a birthday celebration, it would be difficult for them, as Sword Cultivator, to prepare so many dishes.

However, to make their junior sister happy, indulging in extravagance once in a while is nothing. After all, Bihua Pavilion's business is booming, and they have long since achieved financial freedom.

Happy birthday to you, happy birthday to you...

You Su led her senior sisters in singing a simple but melodious tune.

It was Wangshu's first time singing, and she seemed a little shy, but she mustered up her courage to do so in order to celebrate with her junior.

"Blow out the candles and make a wish, junior sister," You Su said expectantly.

In the center of the table full of delicacies was a huge muffin, with eighteen thin candles stuck in it.

"I don't know where you learned this silly ritual from. You made a wish last year and forgot about it after a few months. What's the point?"

Ji Lingruo ruthlessly retorted.

"Didn't your junior sister's wish from last year come true?" You Su with a mischievous smile.

Last year, Ji Lingruo made a wish, she had a little wine and unconsciously uttered her wish aloud, which You Su overheard completely. It was a wish that made her blush...

Ji Lingruo blushed and stammered, "That was just a coincidence..."

"Huh? Didn't Junior Sister say she forgot what her wish was?"

"Shut up!"

Ji Lingruo channeled her shame and indignation into strength, blowing out all the candles in one breath. She then obediently closed her eyes and made her wish for the year—

I hope my senior brother can regain his sight soon, so he can see how beautiful his junior sister is, and also see his senior sister.

After she made her wish, Wangshu came and asked her silly question. Ji Lingruo, of course, kept it a secret and told the girl that if she told her wish, it wouldn't come true.

Upon hearing this, Wangshu felt remorseful. The night she lost her virginity was also her fiftieth birthday, and the wish she made in the snow was spoken directly to You Su.

Ji Lingruo then cleverly asked her senior sister what wish she had made, but Wangshu was not so easily fooled and kept quiet.

You Su knew that was a wish that made one blush...

However, Wangshu's silence wasn't due to shame, but rather because she feared that revealing her wish would make it even less likely to come true...

Birthdays don't bring about any real change; it's people who imbue them with unique meaning.

Ji Lingruo didn't actually want to celebrate her birthday in a grand way; just seeing the important people in front of her was enough.

At this moment, she felt an unprecedented warmth, and even felt that her senior sister was an indispensable part of this warm little family.

She hesitated, unsure how to tell her senior brother that she would be leaving for a while. She felt that if she disrupted the harmonious and warm atmosphere at the moment, she would be a sinner for all time.

Fortunately, You Su didn't mind being the culprit, and would remind her from time to time to eat less and not to overeat, as if he were complaining that she had eaten too much. He also reminded her that the food her senior sister bought wasn't spicy enough and should be spicier.

He wouldn't let her drink the hawthorn wine the Third Elder sent, but this tangy hawthorn wine was her favorite; it had a very low alcohol content and could be drunk like juice. You Su's reason for this was that his junior sister was about to break through her cultivation level and drinking would cause trouble, and he also warned her to eat less sour food.

Ji Lingruo slightly speechless, wondering what had gotten into her senior brother, but the dinner party ended in a harmonious atmosphere.

The three agreed to climb to the Lotus Peak together to see the stars. The courtyard was actually just an open space near the top of the mountain, with a small section of the mountain above it.

Ji Lingruo casually made up an excuse to send You Su to take a bath. You Su's birthday gift was kept secret, saying that it would be given when they reached the top of the mountain, and the same went for her senior sister.

Ji Lingruo looked at her senior sister, their eyes met, and then they both looked away, as if they had reached some kind of tacit understanding.

Her senior sister knew she was leaving, and she asked her senior sister not to tell her for the time being.

She shook her head helplessly. It was her birthday, and she was the one leaving, so why did it seem like her senior brother was the one getting rewarded...?

Tomorrow I'll see my junior sister off, and then soon I'll be entering the main storyline dungeon.
