Scenery! Junior Sister Xueqi's Figure... Really Has Potential!
Qingyun Sect, Little Bamboo Peak.
Having just arrived at the foot of the mountain gate, Shui Yue hurriedly stopped her flying sword and said to Su Han behind her, seemingly unable to wait any longer.
"Xiao Han, we're here. Let go of your master already."
Su Han nodded, released his hands from Shui Yue's waist, and jumped off the flying sword.
Only then did Shui Yue let out a long breath. "If there's nothing else, go back to your room yourself. I have some matters to deal with as well."
Without even waiting for Su Han to reply, Shui Yue immediately flew away on her sword.
Watching Shui Yue's hurriedly departing figure and the faint blush on the tips of her ears, Su Han smiled and shook his head.
My master's constitution... is a little sensitive!
Thinking this, Su Han took Little Gray and headed alone toward his residence along the mountain path.
Very soon.
He returned to his Bamboo House, but the moment he pushed open the door, he vaguely heard women laughing and teasing one another in the backyard.
"Xueqi, don't be so shy. We're all girls here, what are you afraid of?"
"Exactly. Junior Brother isn't at Little Bamboo Peak right now, so there's no need to be so reserved. Take your hands away."
Then Wen Min's distinctive gentle yet slightly mischievous cry rang out.
"Wow! Don't let Junior Sister Xueqi's usual silence fool you—she really has a lot of potential!"
"No wonder Junior Brother once mistakenly called Junior Sister Xueqi Nai Qi. Looking at it now, Junior Brother really does have sharp eyes!"
"That's not it! Senior Sisters, d-don't talk nonsense!"
Lu Xueqi's cool yet helpless rebuttal sounded utterly powerless amid everyone's laughter.
Hearing the conversation from the backyard and realizing that it seemed to involve him, Su Han felt rather puzzled.
"Little Gray, go play by yourself, but don't run too far. Got it?"
"Chirp chirp~"
Su Han casually tossed Little Gray into the courtyard to play, then entered the room alone and headed for the backyard.
But the instant he pushed open the backyard gate, he was stunned by the sight before him.
Steam curled through the hot spring in the backyard.
Wen Min leaned lazily against the edge of the pool, her wet long hair scattered loosely around her. Droplets slid down her smooth shoulders, across skin as delicate as cream, trailing downward and outlining alluring curves.
The corners of her lips curled slightly upward.
Her eyes were filled with teasing amusement as she looked at Lu Xueqi, her appearance utterly charming.
Lu Xueqi, on the other hand, bit her lip tightly, her face flushed red.
Her peerlessly beautiful yet icy face became even more captivating beneath the mist, making one unable to resist wanting to take a bite.
Her exquisitely curved figure was half-hidden beneath the water. Her slender neck, delicate collarbones, and the faintly rising and falling half of her snowy-white chest all radiated fatal temptation.
The other women each possessed their own charm as well. Some boldly stretched out their arms, revealing large swaths of fair skin.
Others lightly stirred the water, their laughter as crisp as Silver Bells. The occasional glimpse of their slender, beautiful legs stirred the imagination.
"Ah!"
At that moment, the people in the hot spring noticed Su Han as well.
Instantly, Lu Xueqi gave a soft cry, crossing her arms in front of herself, her eyes filled with shyness.
"Y-you, get out!"
She hurriedly spoke to Su Han in panic.
Wen Min and the other senior sisters, however, were accustomed to Su Han's presence because they often came to soak in the hot spring.
Besides, compared to them, Su Han was simply too young.
What was more, they were in the water.
Thus, Wen Min merely smiled at Su Han. "Junior Brother, why did you suddenly come back?"
After saying that, she looked at Lu Xueqi, who was here for the first time and appeared extremely nervous.
"Junior Brother, Junior Sister Xueqi still isn't used to this. How about you go out first?"
Su Han nodded at her words, then left the room.
After closing the door, he shook his head and smiled. "Who would've thought that coming back suddenly would bring such a surprise?"
But as someone who had transmigrated here, Su Han had seen plenty of things. He did not pay it too much mind.
Perhaps because Lu Xueqi was embarrassed.
Wen Min and the other senior sisters soaked for less time than usual.
Very soon.
Wen Min and several other senior sisters emerged from the backyard, their wet long hair draped over their shoulders and their bodies clad in snowy-white gauze dresses.
They then all came over to Su Han.
"Junior Brother, you're amazing!"
"Yeah, Junior Brother, all the senior sisters heard about what happened to you at Great Bamboo Peak.
Who would've thought that not only did you gain enlightenment and create a powerful sword technique, but your cultivation broke through again? You truly are the most talented disciple of our Little Bamboo Peak!"
Even Wen Min could not help looking Su Han up and down, her eyes sparkling.
"Junior Brother, after all my years in the Qingyun Sect, I've never heard of anyone entering a state of enlightenment.
Junior Brother, can you tell your senior sister what enlightenment feels like?"
"I want to hear it too, I want to hear it too...
Before, I'd only heard that certain mighty seniors could attain enlightenment and comprehend some peerless cultivation art.
Now, this is the first time I've seen someone truly attain enlightenment just like those seniors. What an eye-opener!"
"Senior Sisters, the feeling of enlightenment is very mysterious. It can be understood but not explained, so I don't really know how to describe it."
Su Han casually answered the senior sisters' questions.
At the same time, he smiled at Lu Xueqi, who stood awkwardly by herself in the distance.
At that moment, Lu Xueqi stared at Su Han as though a child had had her beloved toy snatched away.
Her senior sisters praising Su Han right in front of her made her pout in grievance.
After all, before Su Han had come up the mountain, she had always been the one receiving such praise.
But ever since Su Han arrived at Little Bamboo Peak, she had discovered that everything had changed.
Su Han seemed to see Lu Xueqi's grievance.
He smiled, stood up, and slowly walked toward Lu Xueqi.
Seeing this, Wen Min and the others exchanged glances, their eyes brimming with the gleam of eager spectators.
After all, among the disciples, Lu Xueqi and Su Han were close in age, and both were geniuses. They were truly a perfect match.
Thus, following the principle that good fortune should not go to outsiders.
Whenever they ate together, they would intentionally or unintentionally squeeze Su Han and Lu Xueqi into sitting beside each other.
"Junior Sister Xueqi, about what happened just now..."
Before Su Han could finish speaking, even the roots of Lu Xueqi's ears turned red. She hurriedly shook her head.
"Su Han, you don't need to apologize to me. I know you didn't mean it."
However, Su Han smiled and shook his head. "Who said I was going to apologize to you?"
"I only wanted to say..."
"Senior Sister Wen Min was right!"
"Huh? You?"
Lu Xueqi had never expected Su Han to say that. Her cheeks immediately became covered in blush, and even her delicate little ears looked like red jade. She could no longer maintain her cold and aloof image.
"Hmph!"
Then, with an embarrassed and annoyed snort, she fled from Su Han's side as though escaping.
Watching Lu Xueqi "flee," Wen Min could not help but laugh. "Junior Brother really is considerate."
"You knew Junior Sister was feeling jealous, so you comforted her directly. But with her cold and proud personality, she definitely wouldn't accept it."
"I'm so jealous of Junior Sister Xueqi! Childhood sweethearts, growing up together without any guile."
"Junior Brother, you've even raised your senior sister's standards..."
"My future husband doesn't need to be as outstanding as Junior Brother, but he must at least be half as outstanding as you!"
Hearing Wen Min's words, the other senior sisters began teasing her.
"Senior Sister, if you're jealous, you can also cultivate feelings with Junior Brother. Don't those wealthy men among mortals all have three wives and four concubines?
Junior Sister Xueqi probably wouldn't mind either. Hehe."
"Hm?"
"How bold! You even dare make jokes about your senior sister?"
As she spoke, Wen Min began fooling around with them.
"Ah! That tickles... Senior Sister, I won't dare anymore. Please let me go!"
Before long, they were all laughing so hard that they became short of breath, their clothes disheveled and spring scenery leaking out.
Looking at the expanse of snowy white, Su Han helplessly shook his head.
Do these senior sisters not understand the distinction between men and women because they came up the mountain so young, or do they really treat me like a child?
Su Han felt that it was probably both.
Only after quite some time did their playfulness finally stop.
As Wen Min arranged her rumpled gauze dress, she curiously asked Su Han, "Junior Brother, our Little Bamboo Peak's internal Little Sparring Tournament will be held soon."
"If I remember correctly, you have a match against Xueqi, right? Are you confident?"
Su Han smiled at her question. "Of course I'm confident."
As he spoke.
Su Han seemed to think of something and reminded Wen Min, "Oh, right, Senior Sister. Tell Master tonight."
"Tell her that I'm preparing to enter seclusion and won't come out until the Little Sparring Tournament, so I can strive to reach the fourth level of the Yuqing Realm as soon as possible."
"Ask Master to help look after Little Gray."
