Su Sui Takes a Master

That day, Shen Ge was training Su Sui's ability to launch ice spikes. She could now hit stationary targets without much trouble, but she still had some issues with moving targets.

Perhaps because she is still young, her attention cannot keep up with faster movements, which makes her miss every time.

Shen Ge strolled leisurely to the left and right, while ice spikes flew past behind him, but these ice spikes couldn't even touch his shadow, let alone hit him.

"Su Su, concentrate! Keep your eyes sharp and anticipate the enemy's advance to launch your attack in advance, otherwise you won't be able to hit me."

"Brother, slow down! Su Su can't reach it! Slow down!" Su Sui called out anxiously, her voice trembling with a hint of tears.

After practicing all morning without hitting the target even once, even Mu Wan would probably be on the verge of a breakdown, let alone Su Sui.

The only difference is that Mu Wan won't cry after she breaks down. Instead, she will take out all sorts of powerful magical Law Artifact to destroy the body and cover up the evidence on a large scale. This is why Shen Ge doesn't dare to ask her to demonstrate.

At this moment, Shen Ge suddenly felt a heat at his waist, which made him stop in his tracks. Just as he was about to touch the heated Sound Transmission Jade Slip, a long ice spike shot straight toward his head.

Glancing at Su Su and seeing her expectant expression, Shen Ge decided it was best not to avoid her. He had already been a bit harsh on her this morning, so he might as well make her happy.

After summoning his protective Spiritual Qi, Shen Ge ignored the ice spike and picked up the Jade Slip. Just as he was about to read the information inside, the ice spike actually pierced through the protective Spiritual Qi he had set up, which truly surprised him.

He casually shattered the ice spike with a flick of his wrist, glanced at Su Sui with surprise, and chuckled, "Not bad, Su Su has improved today. Go play, but remember not to go too far, and don't go to any dangerous places."

"Yay! Great! Time to play, goodbye brother!"

Upon hearing Shen Ge say that there was no need for training anymore, Su Sui skipped away with a happy smile, afraid that if she was a step too slow, Shen Ge would change his mind and not let her go play.

Without Su Sui's interference, Shen Ge sat down on a stone bench and began reading the messages inside.

Brother Shen, it's been a long time. I wonder how you've been?

I recently discovered some Corpse Sha in the White Bone Mountain area. They've gathered in a group, seemingly guarding something. I wonder if Brother Shen would be interested in going there?

Of course, Brother Shen might not have anything of value to you. If Brother Shen don't want to come, that's fine too. I'll find other fellow Daoists to go and explore together."

Shen Ge tapped his fingers lightly on the table, frowning in thought. "Huang Tao, Brother Huang, I thought we'd never cross paths again after that first encounter, but I never expected him to invite me to go treasure hunting."

"Ha, I have to say he's pretty bold. Isn't he afraid I'll double-cross him?"

"However, given his intelligence, he must have considered this as well. The fact that he still dared to invite me probably means he's confident he can escape, or perhaps he's betting that I don't want to lose face for the Spirit Moon Sect."

"Forget it, whatever. Since I've been invited, I might as well go check it out. I've been getting bored staying in the sect lately anyway."

"Moreover, the Ghost Demoness's cave abode seems to be located in White Bone Mountain; perhaps these monsters escaped from her cave abode."

In fact, there was one more thing Shen Ge didn't explicitly say, and that was the origin of the "Return of the Soul Instruction," which was completely absent from the Ghost Demoness's memories.

Moreover, this Cultivation Method allows the spirit to be reborn into a physical body. He hadn't paid much attention to it before, but after he entered the Spirit Moon Sect a year or two ago and inquired about it intentionally or unintentionally, he realized that this Cultivation Method was simply defying the heavens and its origins were definitely not simple. It might even involve beings above the Body Integration Realm!

Of course, this was just Shen Ge's guess, since he didn't really know how strong the Body Integration Realm was.

"Please wait a moment, Brother Huang. I'll leave as soon as I've taken care of some things."

After replying, Shen Ge got up, found Su Sui, and took her to Su Liuyue's place.

"Sister, I'll leave Su Su with you for a few days. I have some things to take care of."

Su Liuyue glanced at the two people, one big and one small, and nodded, saying, "Alright, but hurry up. As you know, I'm currently burdened with all sorts of matters, big and small, for Divine Sword Peak, and I don't have much time."

Shen Ge's heart skipped a beat, and she blurted out, "Sister, Su Su has already Qi Refining Fifth Layer. Shouldn't we find her a master?"

"I think Elder Qingshuang has this in mind. She's been coming to see me a lot lately, and Elder Qingshuang has Water Spirit Root, so she's more than capable of teaching Su Su."

"Aren't you her master? Why go to such lengths?" Su Liuyue said calmly, staring at Shen Ge.

Shen Ge's lips twitched, and he stared at Su Liuyue in astonishment. After a long pause, he waved his hand and said, "Me, Su Su's master? No way, I'm only at the Foundation Establishment Middle Stage myself. How could I be qualified to teach her? She wouldn't learn anything from me."

"I didn't ask you to teach her. I'm just letting you have the title of master. I'll teach her, and the resources will be provided by Divine Sword Peak. You only need to guide her mind and character."

"Elder Qingshuang is indeed quite good, both in terms of strength and her understanding of cultivation. However, she is from Azure Jade Peak. Do you think I would send such a promising talent to Azure Jade Peak?"

"But why me?" Shen Ge asked softly, her head lowered. "Since you're the one teaching her, why don't you just take her as your apprentice? Why make me do it?"

"After all, I am her elder, and as you know, the sect restricts the development of the Flowing Cloud Kingdom's royal family. If I were to directly accept her as a disciple, it would inevitably cause those elders to bother the sect leader."

"As for having Master take on a disciple, that's not appropriate either. After all, I'm several generations older than her, and I wouldn't be used to her calling me 'Senior Sister' in the future. So, after thinking it over, I think you're more suitable."

Without giving Shen Ge a chance to continue speaking, Su Liuyue pulled Su Sui aside and asked, "Su Su, would you like your brother to be your master? And for him to personally guide you from now on?"

Su Sui blinked her big eyes at Su Liuyue. This time, she was no longer mischievous and nodded obediently, saying, "Big sister, Su Su wants brother to be Su Su's master, so that brother won't abandon Su Su."

"Alright, then go and kowtow."

Su Liuyue nodded in satisfaction, selectively ignoring the word "sister."

Upon hearing this, Su Sui ran forward, knelt down in front of Shen Ge, and kowtowed, saying, "Brother, will you be Su Su's master?"

Seeing that Shen Ge didn't respond, Su Su's eyes immediately welled up with tears, and she kowtowed several times, saying, "Brother~"

"Alright, alright, I'll be your master now. I really owe you something. And you too, sister, are you really going to just dump me on top of you like this?"

"Yay! Brother agreed to be Su Su's Master! Brother is so good!" Su Sui immediately got up and jumped around with a grin, but the tears in her eyes still looked a little out of place.

"Alright, enough talk. Just get on with what you need to do. Let me make this clear: you only have a maximum of one month."
