Young Master You Was More Patient Than Ordinary People

The Third Elder paid far more attention to him than You Su had imagined.

This was certainly not because the Third Elder cared so much about You Su, but because she had received a request from the First Elder, who asked her to keep a close eye on You Su in the near future.

The reason is inextricably linked to that island.

Not long ago, the Third Elder was watering his newly cultivated mimosa when he suddenly received a message from his disciple saying that he had seen You Su leave the mountain gate and head straight for Henggao City.

At first, she didn't pay much attention, but when she heard You Su enter Anning Tower, she rushed over with a serious expression.

Although news of the True Immortal Zhengyang has been temporarily blocked, there are no secrets that stay hidden forever, especially when it involves the most violent hurricane in history, the Heaven Awakening Realm.

The reason why the First Elder asked her to keep an eye on You Su was precisely this: there must be many Void Glimpse Realm who knew the news and would try to contact the younger generation who they thought were most likely to become the successors of the True Immortal Zhengyang, and You Su was clearly one of them.

These people were a mixed bag, each with their own ulterior motives, First Elder did not want You Su to have any contact with them.

The Third Elder initially felt that the First Elder had protected You Su too well. Although the child was indeed very outstanding, his true extraordinary abilities were not known to outsiders.

Especially since You Su had no outstanding achievements after the initiation battle, and he was extremely low-key, he didn't even have the interest to participate in some sect competitions. In fact, in the eyes of outsiders, You Su was just a prodigy with exceptional Way of the Sword and a decent cultivation speed. Regarding the rumors that he had become dao companion with Wangshu Fairy, the number one prodigy of the Central Yuan Continent, most people thought that he had climbed up the social ladder by taking advantage of his junior brother's status.

Furthermore, according to the criteria for accepting disciples by Sun Yang Venerable, You Su was not actually that outstanding.

In fact, for more than half a month after the island was discovered, no one came looking for You Su.

So, who invited you You Su this Anning Tower today?

"Bihua Venerable, the master says you have disturbed our distinguished guest."

The maid, with a very charming smile on her face, gracefully bowed to the mature and beautiful Fairy was urging her to knock on the door outside the Fragrant Pavilion.

"My disciple is inside. How can it be considered a disturbance for me to come looking for him?"

The Third Elder knocked and shouted, "You Su, open the door! I know you're inside!"

"Bihua Venerable, our master hopes you can give him some face. Your knocking all the way here has already given our guest a very bad experience."

The maid's smile remained unchanged. She was a mortal, yet she showed no fear in the face of Void Glimpse Venerable, who could crush her as easily as an ant.

The Third Elder was secretly alarmed, wondering if this was the source of her confidence given by her master.

"Who booked this room? Is You Su in this room?"

"Bihua Venerable, I apologize, but this is a guest's privacy, and I cannot disclose it." The maid bowed again.

"Being so mysterious, if it doesn't work, then have your master come out and stop me personally."

The Third Elder impatiently knocked on the door again. "I suspect my disciple has been bewitched and forced to do unspeakable things inside. I must go in and rescue him, understand?"

The maid's expression remained indifferent, clearly indicating that she was quite accustomed to the kind of shady dealings the Third Elder described. Many high-ranking officials and nobles enjoyed engaging in shady activities in this secluded teahouse, which was considered an open secret of Anning Tower.

"Bihua Venerable, please have some self-respect."

The maid linked arms with him, her tone carrying a subtle threat.

The Third Elder frowned, his aura overwhelming, while the maid seemed to be protected by something, her hair remaining perfectly still.

Just as the Third Elder and the mistress behind the maid were secretly vying for power, the door of Piaoxiangzhai suddenly opened.

"A dignified person like you only knows how to bully others by abusing your power; you're no different from a shrewish village woman. Stop embarrassing yourself outside and come in."

A cold, alluring voice drifted from behind the layers of curtains hanging in the room.

The Third Elder's beautiful eyes widened immediately. She was all too familiar with that voice; it was the voice of that wicked woman!

She immediately guessed that You Su must be inside!

I was just making things up on the spot, it can't possibly come true, can it?!

Without much hesitation, the Third Elder stepped into the room, and the door closed itself the moment she entered.

The Third Elder focused his mind, not wanting to see anything he shouldn't.

She lifted the curtain and saw that You Su was indeed there. She secretly breathed a sigh of relief, but her face was still full of reproach.

"Third Elder, what brings you here?"

You Su asked in surprise. He sat honestly by the coffee table, which was now covered with an extra curtain.

The Third Elder merely glared at him, completely ignoring him, and then angrily said:

"Tao Er Niu, you failed to poach someone once, are you still not giving up?!"

When Qianhua Venerable, wearing gold-rimmed glasses, heard his secular name being called out, his previously calm and aloof demeanor shattered instantly.

"Xie Zhi Zhu, are you sick?! My name isn't Tao Er Niu, it's Tao Su Fen!"

"Oh dear, a name is given by one's parents, how can you change it as you please? What's wrong with Erniu? She's so down-to-earth, as if she's afraid others will know that the esteemed Qianhua Venerable's real name is Tao Er Niu?" The Third Elder was quite eloquent.

"You think Xie Zhi Zhu's name is elegant? If you ask me, the person who named you understands you well. They knew you would grow up to be a fat woman like a pig. This name is quite fitting for you." Qianhua Venerable retorted without any politeness.

"You!" The Third Elder trembled with rage, his chest shaking. "You can't even read! You can pronounce 'weaving shuttle' as 'pig'! That certainly suits your country bumpkin reputation, which is fitting for someone like you with the name 'Second Girl'!"

The two top-tier female cultivators at the Void Glimpse Realm met and immediately started arguing fiercely. If You Su didn't know their cultivation levels, she would have thought it was just a quarrel between old ladies at the market.

"Qianhua Venerable, please show some respect to my Third Elder, or I'll turn around and leave."

You Su's cold words interrupted the two women's argument.

Qianhua Venerable stared in disbelief at his now clear eyes, biting his lower lip and blinking as if he had suffered a great injustice.

The Third Elder, however, seemed slightly surprised. Her beautiful eyes lingered on You Su's sharply defined profile, a warmth welling up inside her. She had never needed a man to protect her before, and experiencing this feeling for the first time, she found it quite pleasant...

"Who is she to you that you're so protective of her?"

Qianhua Venerable's voice was low and muffled, filled with extreme resentment. She absolutely refused to believe that her charm could be inferior to that of this fat woman whose clothes only made her look bloated.

"What do you care who I am to him? As long as I'm closer to him than you are, that's enough." The Third Elder smirked smugly, turning to leave. "You Su, let's go, ignore her."

He's closer to me than I am to him?

Qianhua Venerable stared in astonishment at the Third Elder's voluptuous and exaggerated buttocks, his heart filled with doubt and surprise.

She had been with the Third Elder before, so she knew that his aversion to men was deep-rooted. However, the Third Elder's attitude towards You Su was completely different from that of other men. Despite his excellent reputation, he still didn't hesitate to lose face and knocked on each room's door to find her.

If she and You Su had remained silent in the room, the fat woman wouldn't have been able to barge in. But You Su still forced her to speak, as if he didn't want her to be anxious after searching in vain.

Although she didn't believe there was anything between the two, she was at least certain that their relationship was definitely unusual.

"Wait!"

Qianhua Venerable slammed his hand on the table, his eyebrows once again arching with a haughty air. "It's been a long time since we've sat down and had a proper cup of tea like this. Why don't we sit down and chat?"

"What's there to talk about with you?" The Third Elder showed no mercy. "You Su, let's go."

You Su was gently trapped by the jade-like feet under the coffee table, unable to leave. He finally understood why this wicked woman had taken a curtain and placed it on the table earlier.

The curtain, made of a very special material, hung down to the ground, making it impossible to detect what was under the table with Divine Sense. This made it easier for the woman to secretly do some dirty work.

"Are you still planning to keep the matter of that island from him?"

Despite the angry glare from You Su, Qianhua Venerable remained unfazed. She couldn't believe that You Su would dare to order her to retract her foot in front of the Third Elder.

The boy had explored most of her body, yet he showed such favoritism towards others; she had to vent her dissatisfaction.

The Third Elder stopped in his tracks, turned around, and his tone became serious. "Is this why you're looking for him?"

Qianhua Venerable rested his delicate chin on his hand, and with a few subtle movements of his pearl-like toes, he loosened You Su's belt.

"What else? I also wanted to keep a handsome young man like Mu Ying Venerable next door, but our Young Master You wouldn't allow it..."

You Su froze, then quickly reached his left hand, hidden in the shadows, through the curtain and grabbed Qianhua Venerable's foot, which was trying to slip inside his trousers.

"How disrespectful of your age! Don't you even look at your own old and faded face!" The Third Elder spat disdainfully. "You Su, stay away from her. Let's go back."

You Su felt a soft, smooth touch on his left hand. She was playfully wiggling her toes and scratching her palm. Not only that, his waistband was also unbuttoned. If he stood up like this, even his most prominent genitals would be clearly seen by the Third Elder.

"Third Elder... I want to hear more about that island..." You Su had no choice but to persuade him to stay, secretly keeping Little Dog Qianhua's provocation in mind.

The Third Elder's beautiful eyes flickered, and she sighed softly. It was better to guide than to suppress, and she knew it was time to let You Su know.

She didn't stand on ceremony with Qianhua Venerable at all. There were only two seats on one side of the tea table, so she walked over and sat down to the left of You Su.

You Su was extremely nervous and dared not continue to put his left hand under the table, as such a strange movement would only arouse the Third Elder's suspicion. But this moment of relaxation gave Qianhua Venerable an opportunity; his body suddenly stiffened, and he quietly tightened his grip on the teacup.

The Third Elder noticed You Su's stiff posture and assumed the young man was nervous about sitting at the same table as her. After all, the coffee table wasn't large, and the two of them were sitting side by side, their shoulders almost touching.

It seems I need to be gentler with him in the future... so he doesn't think I'm difficult to get along with...

The Third Elder thought to himself, but asked aloud:

Where did you get this information from?

"Such a large island, with so many Giant Kun corpses in the South China Sea, it's hard to hide it, isn't it?"

After smiling and speaking, Qianhua Venerable subconsciously took a sip of tea, only to find it slightly salty and fishy. He then realized he had put away the 'wet wipe' but forgotten to change the tea...

Shame and indignation made her unconsciously clench her toes tighter, causing the tablecloth to tremble slightly, You Su sat up straighter.

Seeing this, the Third Elder hesitated for a moment, but looking at Qianhua Venerable's provocative gaze, he felt it necessary to prove to her that his relationship with You Su was not something she could shake.

So she gently reached out and placed her hand on You Su's hand, comforting her, "Don't be nervous, relax. With the Third Elder here, she can't do anything to you."

The skin felt soft, warm, and smooth to the touch, but unfortunately, the sensation was fleeting.

You Su felt a warmth in his heart and nodded slightly to the Third Elder to express his gratitude.

"If you desire that Heavenly Awakening Spiritual Light, countless people would fight for you. Why provoke You Su?" The Third Elder still harbored resentment.

"It's simple, because I think others can't do it, but he can..."

As she spoke, Qianhua Venerable glanced at You Su with a seductive look in her eyes.

The Third Elder caught a glimpse of that seductive gaze from Chun Chun and felt a surge of anger. He thought this woman was incredibly wanton, and it was a good thing You Su was blind.

"Since you know about this, you should also know the requirements Sun Yang Venerable has for his successor. He only wants cultivators below the Feather Transformation Realm. You Su is only at the Water Condensing Lower Realm, and he has no advantage whatsoever against those geniuses at the Water Condensation Perfection Realm."

"If realm can be the sole criterion for determining who inherits a legacy, why limit the realm to below the Feather Transformation Realm? Why not just choose the Perfected Condensing Water Realm?"

Qianhua Venerable saw things clearly. As she spoke, she quickened the movement of her jade feet and exhaled softly, "Moreover... our Young Master You is incredibly intelligent and more patient than ordinary people... This is far more useful than simply cultivating realms, don't you think, Young Master You?"

You Su pursed her lips, glaring at the mischievous woman without saying a word.

The Third Elder raised her delicate eyebrows, slightly turned to get closer to You Su, and scolded, "What are you doing, you half-buried old woman? When did You Su become 'ours'? Don't you dare try to get involved."

Qianhua Venerable raised an eyebrow slightly, "I am younger than you! Am I the only one allowed to be an old ox eating young grass?"

This statement naturally alludes to the past when the Third Elder expressed his love for Qianhua Venerable was younger than him.

The Third Elder, stung by the revelation, gritted his teeth in anger. "I was blind!"

"So what if you're blind? Do you look down on blind people?" Qianhua Venerable seized the opportunity to sow discord.

The Third Elder realized his mistake and, seeing a truly blind man nearby, quickly explained to You Su.

You Su smiled gently, "I know the Third Elder meant no harm. The Third Elder shouldn't argue with such a petty person; that would only lower his own stature."

The Third Elder smiled gently, his gaze towards You Su now tender and gentle, as if he had completely forgotten that You Su was still a man.

Upon hearing this, Qianhua Venerable gritted his teeth in anger and decided to increase his strength. The black silk on his feet actually split open on its own, turning into strands of jet-black snakes that coiled around him.

You Su felt a chill run down his spine from the stimulation. With the respected Third Elder sitting next to him, the constant fear of being exposed made him even more tense. He felt that Qianhua Venerable was even more alluring than a demoness, arousing an impulse to ravage her.

"Give up, You Su won't help you." The Third Elder curled his lip.

"Don't you want it?" Qianhua Venerable narrowed her beautiful eyes.

"No one doesn't want it, except for the Evil God. The secret of the Awakening of Heaven is the greatest secret in the world." The Third Elder was also very frank.

"Since that's the case, since we're going to carry it for you anyway, why don't we help each other carry it? It'll kill two birds with one stone, wouldn't that be wonderful?"

"When did I say I wanted him to fight for me?" the Third Elder retorted, tapping the table lightly with her index finger. "You should understand that to obtain a secret, you have to pay a price."

Qianhua Venerable frowned. "What price?"

"I see you're blinded by greed and have lost your mind. Out of consideration for our past relationship, I'll make an exception and give you some pointers this time."

The Third Elder shook her head, feigning helplessness, enjoying the moment when she was smarter than this wicked woman. But in reality, this was all based on the message the First Elder had sent her:

"A man who escaped because he was besieged by human cultivators, spent seven hundred years cultivating alone in an unknown overseas region, and now he has returned. Can you believe him?"

Qianhua Venerable looked surprised and doubtful. "You don't believe him?"

"At least we dared not believe it completely, so this news was kept secret."

"But we have no choice but to trust him, don't we? He's at the Heaven Awakening Realm. If he really wants revenge, no one can stop him," Qianhua Venerable said calmly.

Upon hearing this, You Su was reminded of his Sun Yang Sword Nurturing Art.

That man who cultivated dual cultivation into Evil Dao became the first Heaven Awakening Realm in thousands of years, and since I've cultivated the Sun Yang Sword Nurturing Art, am I already considered half his successor?

"Perhaps it's because the female cultivators who besieged him back then are now just bones in the ground, perhaps he has a deeper plan, or perhaps he's genuinely lamenting that he has no successor and that his unique Supreme Lore have no one to inherit them. In any case, the cultivators led by the Venerable Tian Shu are currently making contact with him, hoping to test his true strength."

"Third Elder... if he is the only one in the world to awaken to the divine, wouldn't he be able to lead all the people of the Five Continents to overthrow those three Evil Gods?"

The Third Elder sighed softly upon hearing this, "You can't think of everyone as so great. It's rumored that even the Five Great Immortal Ancestors were only at the peak of the Heaven Awakening Realm. He has already entered the Heavenly Awakening Realm, enough to ascend to the outer heavens like the Immortal Ancestors. Do you think he wants to fight to the death with that unknown power, or roam freely in the outer heavens?"

You Su was silent.

"No wonder you don't trust him. If he had offered to lead you overseas, you would probably have followed his lead long ago." Qianhua Venerable didn't have a good impression of the Evil Warding Department.

"The oldest person is only five hundred years old, that's the natural order, but he's lived for almost a thousand years, he's from a completely different era than us. Would you dare to trust someone like that?"

"You fear him because you are weak. But if he really wanted to do something, he could do it without any restraint. This is the Heaven Awakening Realm, a figure comparable to an Immortal Ancestor, and yet he is willing to pass on this glimmer of spiritual light. Isn't that great enough?"

The Third Elder fell silent. Ultimately, the words "Heaven Awakening Realm" were too shocking; no one knew whether they brought good news or destruction.

"That's all we have to say. We can't determine the outcome, so we won't let You Su take the risk. You should find another job."

The Third Elder didn't bother to say anything more, got up and left, saying, "You Su, come back with me."

You Su dared not get up like that; Qianhua Venerable certainly understood his predicament.

"Wait, you go out first. I have one last thing to say to Young Master You..."

I have a bit of a cold today, my head is foggy and I feel a little dizzy. I'll speed things up tomorrow.
