Shui Yue: Another 'Ancestor Qingye'? Su Ru and Tian Ling'er Arrive

Shui Yue was slightly stunned and looked at Su Han in confusion.

"You mean you can cultivate the Seven Tribulations Dragon Slaying Art?"

"Then why did you put it down so quickly?"

"This sword art is clearly more suitable for you than a technique like Ice Break."

Shui Yue was somewhat surprised.

She had not expected Su Han to truly be able to cultivate the Seven Tribulations Dragon Slaying Art, a sword art with extremely demanding requirements for swordsmanship aptitude and an exceptionally harsh cultivation difficulty.

The reason Shui Yue had taken out the Seven Tribulations Dragon Slaying Art in the first place was simply because she had held onto a sliver of hope and wanted Su Han to give it a try.

Success would naturally have been best, but failure was the normal outcome.

However, Shui Yue was only surprised and slightly delighted at this moment.

After all, Su Han had already given her far too many surprises.

For example, on his first day, Su Han had effortlessly split Tear Bamboo in two.

In just seventeen days, he had entered the Yuqing Realm...

For a genius like this, being able to cultivate the Seven Tribulations Dragon Slaying Art seems perfectly normal, doesn't it?

That was what Shui Yue could not help thinking.

Upon hearing Shui Yue's words, Su Han explained while flipping through the Ice Break technique, "Because I've already learned it."

"Since I know it, naturally I put it down."

"After all, this is the last technique I haven't learned yet."

As he spoke.

Without even raising his head, Su Han continued carefully studying the Ice Break technique. At the same time, he casually pointed at the Lightning Controlling Sword Art and said confidently, "I've already committed this sword art to memory as well."

"I can even roughly estimate it."

"If I were to unleash this sword art at full strength, I would probably suffer serious injuries."

"But if an ordinary senior sister without an especially powerful physique were to forcibly use the Lightning Controlling Sword Art at the first layer of the Yuqing Realm, she would likely suffer a lightning backlash and die on the spot."

"From that perspective, this sword art really is only suitable for me."

"After all, if my other senior sisters' cultivation is too low, they cannot use the Lightning Controlling Sword Art. If their cultivation is high enough, they can simply choose stronger techniques."

Just as Su Han was carefully analyzing the Lightning Controlling Sword Art's advantages and flaws.

Shui Yue's cherry lips parted slightly, her face filled with disbelief.

"Y-you... what did you say?"

"You've already cultivated it successfully? Even the Lightning Controlling Sword Art is already fully understood?"

"How is that possible..."

Su Han looked at the shocked Shui Yue with a smile and innocently teased, "Master, it's only the Seven Tribulations Dragon Slaying Art and the Lightning Controlling Sword Art. Aren't you supposed to learn them after reading them once?"

"Look..."

As he spoke, Su Han formed a hand seal.

In an instant, a sharp sword aura transformed into a tiny azure dragon, coiling around his fingertip. It faintly carried an unstoppable momentum, as though it could cleave through every obstacle.

"Y-you really... learn it after reading it once?"

Shui Yue's eyes widened as she stared in shock at the 'azure dragon' sword aura curling around Su Han's finger.

She swallowed hard. "This... this is simply unbelievable!"

"Your cultivation speed is far too fast!"

Shui Yue had already lost count of how many times she had marveled inwardly at how astonishing her youngest disciple's talent was.

But this time, she had believed the techniques she had prepared for him belonged to the most difficult category to cultivate.

She had estimated that Su Han would need one or two years to master the Lightning Controlling Sword Art and the Seven Tribulations Dragon Slaying Art.

But now, it seems I still underestimated my little disciple's talent!

Shui Yue sighed softly.

Su Han merely smiled. "Perhaps I really do have a fairly good aptitude for the sword dao."

"Also, while I have already completely mastered the Lightning Controlling Sword Art and the Seven Tribulations Dragon Slaying Art, I have only just begun with Ice Break."

"But don't worry, Master. I will continue cultivating the Ice Break technique properly and won't disappoint your expectations."

When cultivating sword arts, Su Han had the support of the two Gold Word Traits, Heavenly Prodigy and Unrivaled Sword Dao, along with Innate Dao Bone. Perhaps the Child of Destiny trait was also secretly playing a role.

But when cultivating the Ice Break technique, he only had the support of the two Gold Word Traits, Heavenly Prodigy and Innate Dao Bone.

As a result, Su Han's mastery of Ice Break was far less thorough than his understanding of the Lightning Controlling Sword Art and the Seven Tribulations Dragon Slaying Art.

Therefore, Ice Break still required much more cultivation from Su Han.

"What did you say?"

But this time, Shui Yue could no longer hold herself back and cried out, "You haven't merely learned the Lightning Controlling Sword Art and the Seven Tribulations Dragon Slaying Art—you've already completely mastered them..."

"And you've even gotten started with the Ice Break technique?!"

Hearing this, Su Han put down the technique in his hands and lightly flicked a finger at Shui Yue. "Break!"

In an instant, cold air gathered, and an ice crystal landed in Shui Yue's palm.

"Master, what do you think?"

Looking at the suddenly appearing ice crystal.

Although it was obvious that he was not yet fully proficient in using it, it was undeniably the Ice Break technique.

"Gasp!"

"It's actually real too!"

For a moment, Shui Yue was so excited that she crushed the ice crystal in her hand.

At the same time, she could not help drawing in a sharp breath.

Then she suddenly stepped forward and excitedly gripped Su Han's shoulders. Her fair, lovely face was flushed red, and her eyes were brimming with misty excitement.

"Su Han, th-this... is all of this real?"

"I'm not dreaming, am I?"

"Could it be that our Qingyun Sect has produced another 'Ancestor Qingye,' and he has come from my Little Bamboo Peak lineage?"

Thinking of Ancestor Qingye's greatness back then, how he had developed a weak Qingyun Sect into the foremost righteous sect under heaven.

"If Qingyun Sect were to produce another genius with talent as monstrous as Ancestor Qingye's..."

For a moment, Shui Yue simply did not dare imagine how glorious Qingyun Sect's future could be under Su Han's leadership!

At that moment, Shui Yue had completely made up her mind.

What nonsense about Little Bamboo Peak being unable to take male disciples, or sending Su Han to Dragon Head Peak or Great Bamboo Peak to cultivate in the future—it was all rubbish!

A genius who might stand shoulder to shoulder with Ancestor Qingye could only belong to Little Bamboo Peak. He could only be Shui Yue's disciple!

When Shui Yue thought of how, in the future, she could be like Patriarch Wufangzi, the tenth-generation sect master of Qingyun Sect...

Respected by Qingyun Sect for all eternity because he had taught an 'Ancestor Qingye,' she could not help feeling excited.

She was so excited that she directly pulled Su Han into her embrace, her eyes filled with delight.

"Su Han, you truly are Master's good disciple. Master truly did not misjudge you!"

Just as Shui Yue was brimming with excitement.

A gentle, teasing laugh suddenly came from outside the room.

"Senior Sister, what do you mean, Master's good disciple? Why are you so excited?"

"This really doesn't suit your usual cold and detached... huh?"

At that moment, a beautiful married woman in a pale green dress, with jade floral ornaments and golden hairpins in her hair, walked in while holding the hand of an adorable little girl.

"Senior Sister, y-you... it's still daytime!"

As she spoke.

The young woman hurriedly covered her daughter's eyes. "Ling'er, don't look!"

Only then did Shui Yue return to her senses upon hearing the woman's voice.

Seeing that she was wearing nothing but a thin nightgown, holding Su Han in her arms, with her cheeks flushed from excitement, she realized it was indeed easy to misunderstand.

Shui Yue hurriedly released Su Han.

Yet she could not conceal her excited smile as she said to Su Ru, "Junior Sister, don't get the wrong idea. I'm simply too happy."

As she spoke.

Shui Yue pointed at Su Han. "I forgot to introduce him."

"This is my newly accepted disciple, Su Han."

Then Shui Yue pointed at Su Ru and Tian Ling'er. "Su Han, this is your master's junior sister, Su Ru. That is your Martial Aunt Su Ru's daughter, Tian Ling'er."

Upon hearing this, Su Han respectfully cupped his hands. "Greetings, Martial Aunt Su Ru, Junior Sister Ling'er."

"So he is Senior Sister's disciple."

Su Ru sighed in relief. I thought Senior Sister had secretly found herself a Dao companion.

Shui Yue immediately spat lightly. "Junior Sister, don't talk nonsense. What Dao companion~"

Then she quickly changed the subject. "Junior Sister, it has been quite some time since you last came here, hasn't it?"

"What made you suddenly think of visiting today?"

"Is there something you need?"

Yet as she spoke, Shui Yue's earlobes inexplicably grew hot.

Su Ru sighed softly upon hearing this. "There really is something important. I want to borrow one of your disciples for a while."

Then Su Ru looked at Su Han, making her target obvious.

As she spoke.

Su Ru leaned close to Shui Yue's ear and whispered in a voice only the two of them could hear, "You must know that Zhang Xiaofan, the orphan from Caomiao Village, was accepted as Tian Buyi's disciple."

"But Tian Buyi now always likes comparing Xiaofan to that genius Lin Jingyu. Every time he thinks about it, he gets angry, since the difference in their aptitudes is simply too great."

"Isn't that why I heard your disciple has ordinary aptitude, just like Xiaofan?"

"I was thinking of taking your disciple to Great Bamboo Peak for a visit. That way, Tian Buyi can calm down a little and treat Old Seven better."

"After all, geniuses like Lin Jingyu are always rare. Why insist on comparing Old Seven to Lin Jingyu? Don't you agree?"

Upon hearing this, Shui Yue looked at Su Ru, a strange smile curling at the corner of her lips.

"You mean..."

"Let Su Han visit your Great Bamboo Peak to prove that geniuses are rare?!"
