Su Miao touched her face in the mirror.
The girl in the Water Mirror, with picturesque features and a cool yet gentle temperament, was how others saw her.
But she knew that deep down, she was still the little disciple who would throw herself into her Master's arms and act spoiled.
Her mind was nowhere near as mature and steady as others imagined.
Everything she showed outsiders was an act.
All that immortal grace, all that otherworldly detachment—it was all Second Master's handiwork.
Deep down, she was still that fresh graduate on Blue Star who stayed up late sending out résumés. She had merely changed locations and kept grinding.
"Let's go. Time to find Master."
Su Miao left the quiet room, deliberately concealing her aura.
She wanted to see what Second Master was doing. Meditating? Refining artifacts? Or watching the clouds by the window?
The cave abode door on Jade Purity Peak stood open, but White Crane Boy was nowhere to be seen.
Su Miao tiptoed inside, rounded the screen, and saw Yuanshi seated cross-legged on a cushion.
His gold-and-silver Dao robe spread out at his sides, the Cloud Pattern along its cuffs gleaming with an icy silver light in the dimness.
His hair crown was perfectly neat, and his handsome, stern face was marked by an Innate Pure Qi Crystal between his brows, like a Gemstone set into White Jade.
His eyes were closed, his lashes casting a small shadow across his lids. His breathing was even, and Order Power lingered around him.
Su Miao crept over, squatted before him, and tilted her head as she looked at him.
Master's eyelashes are so long, and his skin is so nice.
With a face like that, he would become a top celebrity the moment he debuted on Blue Star.
