Surprise, Tian Ling'er's Unique Trait, Heading to the Back Mountain

At the foot of towering Qingyun Mountain.

The Amber Vermilion Ribbon soared through the clouds, trailing dazzling light and shadows.

A graceful, beautiful woman stood atop the red ribbon, with a delicately carved little girl and a black-clad youth behind her.

The three of them sped toward Great Bamboo Peak.

They were Su Ru, Tian Ling'er, and Su Han.

At that moment, with nothing better to do, Su Han curiously checked Su Ru and Tian Ling'er's traits.

Name: Su Ru

Identity: Wife of Tian Buyi, Peak Master of Great Bamboo Peak

Traits: Swordsmanship Mastery (Purple), Fated Supporting Heroine (Purple), Virtuous Helpmeet (Orange), Above Average Talent (Orange)...

Name: Tian Ling'er

Identity: Daughter of Tian Buyi, Peak Master of Great Bamboo Peak

Traits: Fated Supporting Heroine (Red), Beast Taming Mastery (Orange), Loyal and Resilient (Orange), Above Average Talent (Orange)...

Seeing Su Ru's traits, Su Han nodded slightly.

Sure enough, there were no surprises. There was almost nothing Su Han could make use of.

However.

When Su Han saw Tian Ling'er's traits, he was somewhat surprised.

He had not expected one of Tian Ling'er's traits to be so special: Beast Taming Mastery (Orange).

But soon enough.

Su Han thought of how close Tian Ling'er was with Big Yellow on Great Bamboo Peak. With such a trait, it no longer seemed strange.

"Though it isn't a Gold Word Trait... it's incredibly useful!"

Delight flashed through Su Han's eyes.

After all, since he planned to subdue the Three-Eyed Spirit Monkey Xiao Hui for his own use, he would naturally have to nurture Xiao Hui afterward.

"If I had Tian Ling'er's Beast Taming Mastery trait..."

"Then Xiao Hui's potential would definitely far surpass that of the original story!"

"After all, Zhang Xiaofan definitely didn't have this trait in the original story."

For a moment, Su Han was overjoyed. This was truly an unexpected gain.

"It seems that even if some people don't appear to possess particularly powerful talents, that doesn't mean their traits are truly worthless."

At that thought.

Su Han subconsciously recalled that he had never checked the traits of Shui Yue and Senior Sister Wen Min.

After all, in his eyes, their traits likely had nothing worth his attention. But now, perhaps that was not the case!

Just as Su Han was musing over this.

"Su Han, did you really come up the mountain with Xiaofan?"

Tian Ling'er, who had been secretly watching Su Han, finally could not resist asking out of curiosity.

"What else would it be?"

Su Han lowered his head to look at Tian Ling'er, who was clutching Su Ru's clothes, and replied with a smile.

Yet inwardly, he could not help thinking.

She's really adorable. No wonder Zhang Xiaofan fell for her.

Tian Ling'er then asked Su Han again, still curious.

"But why do I feel like you're so much older than Xiaofan?"

Hearing this, Su Ru also grew a little curious.

In her eyes, Zhang Xiaofan was still a child, about the same age as her daughter.

But Su Han before her already looked like a refined, handsome youth. No matter how she looked at him, he did not seem close to Zhang Xiaofan's age.

"Maybe it's because my cultivation has made a breakthrough."

"I don't believe you." Tian Ling'er pouted. "If you came up the mountain with Xiaofan, then you've only been here for seventeen days."

"A breakthrough in cultivation?"

"What, have you already managed to draw spiritual energy into your body?"

Su Han looked at the adorable Tian Ling'er, reached out, and patted her head. "Go on, make an even bolder guess—the kind that would really surprise you."

"Annoying!"

Tian Ling'er swatted away Su Han's large hand. "Touching my head will keep me from growing taller. You're way more annoying than Xiaofan."

Su Ru's cultivation was far higher than Wen Min's, so naturally, the speed at which she flew her magical artifact was beyond Wen Min's comparison.

Thus, while Su Han teased and played around with Tian Ling'er, the three of them had already arrived at Great Bamboo Peak.

At this moment, at the entrance to Great Bamboo Peak.

A burly, powerfully built man seemed to have been waiting for quite some time.

The moment he saw Su Ru, he hurriedly bowed with cupped fists. "Master's wife, you're back."

Su Ru nodded slightly, then pointed to the burly man as she introduced him to Su Han.

"Su Han, this is Great Bamboo Peak's eldest senior brother, Song Daren."

As she spoke.

She pointed at Su Han again. "Daren, this is Su Han, my senior sister's newly accepted disciple. He's also the one who came up the mountain with Xiao Fan."

Song Daren nodded and gave Su Han an honest, simple smile. "Hello, Junior Brother Su Han. I'm Song Daren."

"Su Han greets Senior Brother Song."

After the brief exchange of greetings, Su Ru turned to Song Daren and asked, "Where is Buyi?"

"Master's wife, Master is cultivating in his room."

Su Ru nodded, then said to Su Han, "Come on. Go inside with your martial aunt and rest for now. At dinner, I'll introduce you to your Martial Uncle Tian."

Su Han smiled and said, "Martial Aunt Su Ru."

"I already told you why I came to Great Bamboo Peak before we set out. I want to spar with the senior brothers of Great Bamboo Peak."

"So, what do you think?"

Hearing this, Su Ru felt slightly helpless. She had not expected her senior sister's young disciple to be so competitive.

"He hasn't even entered the Yuqing Realm yet. Spar? What is there to spar about?"

But Su Ru could not exactly refuse.

After all, Su Han had indeed said this when he came, and since she had not objected at the time, it could be considered tacit agreement.

With that thought, Su Ru smiled. "It's fine. There's no rush."

"After dinner, you can spar with each other. Consider it a way to work off the meal."

"It's nearly dinner time anyway. There's no need to rush this moment, right?"

Su Han nodded. "Then thank you, Martial Aunt Su Ru."

Then Su Han asked curiously, "Martial Aunt, where is Xiao Fan?"

"I haven't seen him for some time. I want to see him."

Before Su Ru could answer, Tian Ling'er hurriedly raised her hand and called out to Su Han, "I know, I know."

"At this time, Xiao Fan must be in the Back Mountain chopping bamboo to train his body. Come on, I'll take you there."

The moment Su Han heard "Back Mountain," his eyes lit up. "Then I'll trouble Miss Ling'er."

Seeing this, Su Ru did not refuse. She reached out and lightly tapped Tian Ling'er on the head.

"You little rascal, you just want to go to the Back Mountain to play again, don't you?"

Tian Ling'er immediately gave her mother a cheeky grin, then hugged Su Ru's arm and coquettishly said, "Mother, you love me the most. Just let me go play for a while~"

Looking at her daughter acting spoiled, Su Ru shook her head helplessly. "Fine, then take Su Han with you."

"Just don't go too far. Be careful."

"Su Han is your senior sister's precious disciple. Nothing must happen to him."

"Otherwise, with your senior sister's temperament, she'll do exactly what she says."

Tian Ling'er nodded happily and laughed. "Don't worry, Mother. I definitely won't let anything happen to Su Han."

With that, Tian Ling'er skipped toward the Back Mountain.

Su Han immediately followed behind Tian Ling'er.

"The Back Mountain..."

"I wonder if I can run into Little Gray, and then have it lead me to the deep pool where the Soul-Absorbing Rod is buried?"
