East Spirit Gorge
From the southwest to the east, there was a Daoist temple. It was getting late, and the sky was gloomy. It was drizzling, and someone was lighting up a lantern.
In a quiet room, Ye Su'er slowly came out of her meditation. She felt refreshed, and her body felt light. It was obvious that her martial arts had improved. However, she was not too happy. After two hours of meditation, she stood up and took off the hairpin on her head. It was a coarse hairpin made of butterfly-shaped wood, and was of poor quality. Ye Su'er looked at the hairpin and caressed it, as her memories returned to Snail Village.
"Su'er, here, I carved this for you. The last time you said you wanted a hairpin, but I didn't have the money to buy one, so I learned how to carve one. I hope you don't mind." Pei Zi Yun stuttered. Ye Su'er blushed as she accepted the hairpin.
"Junior Sister Su'er, Junior Sister Su'er, are you in?" Ye Su'er was in a daze when she suddenly heard a voice outside the door.
Ye Su'er opened the door, and a beautiful young girl rushed in and hugged Ye Su'er, "Junior Sister, you've only been in the sect for a few months, and your cultivation speed is so fast, but you're also becoming more and more charming. How are we supposed to live?"
"Junior Sister, long time no see, did you miss your senior sister?" The young girl said as she caressed Ye Su'er.
Ye Su'er pushed her away and said, "I'm thinking about something, don't bother me."
Ye Su'er's face was gloomy. Her senior sister was good, except for this.
The senior sister didn't mind being pushed away, and smiled, "Junior Sister, you must be thinking about your childhood sweetheart right? Master is regretting now, regretting that she had misjudged him. If not, I would have taken you and him in as a disciple long ago. Wouldn't that be wonderful? "
The young girl laughed evilly as she teased Ye Su'er.
"It's fine even if he's not a disciple. I, I have a promise with brother Pei." Ye Su'er said softly, her face red, as if she wanted to explain, but didn't know what to say.
"You, you're too naive. What promise of three years? Do you believe that in three years, your brother Pei would already have beauties throwing themselves at him? Who knows, he might even have a child." The senior sister laughed evilly as she poured herself a cup of tea in Ye Su'er's room.
Hearing this, Ye Su'er's eyes dimmed.
The Senior Sister looked at Ye Su'er's expression and continued to add fuel to the fire, "Junior Sister, think about it. Your brother Pei has achieved the Top Scorer Award, and has also written 'Jiang Jin Jiu', 'Shui Diao Ge Tou', 'Spring in Qin Yuan' and many more. His name is known throughout the lands, and even the Emperor himself has met him. Now that he has joined Free Cloud Sect, he has done a great service for Free Cloud Sect, and yet he doesn't care about you at all. Tell me, does he even think about you?"
Hearing this, Ye Su'er's face turned pale as she mumbled, "No, impossible. Brother Pei would never forget me."
As he spoke, he shook his head. His eyes were hazy, as if tears were about to fall.
The Senior Sister covered her mouth and laughed, "Little Su 'er, you are really easy to deceive. No wonder Master used an excuse to trick you into entering the sect. Look, what is this?"
The Senior Sister placed a letter and a painting in front of Ye Su'er.
"Senior Sister, don't tell me you've accepted another spiritual pet and sent me a love letter? I don't want it." Ye Su'er did not take it, but turned around and said.
"My dear sister, this is a letter from your brother Pei. Master asked me to deliver it to you. If you don't want it, I'll take it away." This time, the Senior Sister did not tease her, and handed the letter and painting to her.
Ye Su'er was taken aback, and hurriedly took the letter. She then unrolled the painting, and laid it on the table. It was about five meters long, and looked extremely prosperous.
Vendors were selling their wares, donkeys were playing around, and people were walking to and fro on the streets. An old man was chasing a rooster, and a vendor was carrying a pole. Everything was extremely lifelike.
The Senior Sister, who was standing by the side, did not leave. She looked at the painting, and looked at Ye Su'er with jealousy in her eyes, "Su'er, I was wondering why you keep thinking about your brother Pei. With such talent, even if it were me, I would not be able to give it up."
Ye Su'er listened, but did not reply. Her mind was suddenly filled with memories of that night when she fell into the pit of a wild boar. Brother Pei had found her and jumped into the pit as well. At that moment, she could no longer control her emotions. Tears welled up in her eyes, and she could no longer hold back her longing. Ignoring her Senior Sister's presence, she opened the letter.
He wrote about how Ye Su'er missed him after she left, and how much she missed him. He then said, "The luxuries of the capital city, Su'er did not appreciate them, and did not dare to enjoy them alone. Hence, I sent them to you."
Unknowingly, the Senior Sister leaned over and exclaimed, "Ai, there's a poem here!"
Ye Su'er's face turned red, and she hurriedly tried to hide. She then saw the title of the poem, "Immortals on the Magpie Bridge, Delicate Clouds Play Tricks".
"Delicate clouds play tricks, the flying stars spread hate, the silver river passes through the darkness."
"When the golden wind and jade dew meet, it surpasses countless things in the world."
"Tender feelings are like water, a good night is like a dream, enduring the Magpie Bridge to return home."
"If the love between two can last for a long time, how can they stay together, day and night."
As she read the poem, Ye Su'er covered her face with her hands, and started crying silently. Tears flowed out of her palms, as if all the pain of parting had disappeared. All the days of suffering and waiting had been worth it.
Prefecture City, Daoist Monastery
Within a room, a little girl was cultivating. An old Daoist was drinking tea leisurely when a Daoist rushed in.
"Senior Uncle, Master has ordered that no one is allowed to enter." The little Daoist who was standing guard outside the room said anxiously. He was pushed open the door and was about to speak when the old Daoist glared at him. The Daoist felt a little guilty and didn't dare to question him.
The little Daoist followed behind and whispered, "Master, this disciple did not stop Senior Uncle. Please punish me."
As the little Daoist spoke, he knelt down. The old Daoist's face was dark, as if ink had been smeared all over it. He lowered his voice and said, "Ai Guo is cultivating inside. Let's go out and talk."
The Daoist and the little Daoist followed him out of the room. When they were some distance away from the room, the old Daoist asked coldly, "Didn't I order that no one is allowed to disturb Ai Guo's cultivation? Why did you barge in? "
"Senior Brother, you might be able to stop others with your words, but you can't scare me. Look at the latest news. That day, the Sect Elder had already restrained the Free Cloud Sect Patriarch. Why didn't you kill him? This young man has already achieved first place in the examinations. If he continues to grow, I'm afraid he will be able to overpower our Holy Jail Sect. This is all your fault. Tell me, shouldn't you resign from your position within the sect?" The Daoist gritted his teeth as he spoke.
"Hm, Zhou An, let me warn you one more time. The sect has sent you to assist me, not to disobey me. If there's a next time, the rules will be set for you. Even your Master Elder Zeng will not be able to protect you." The old Daoist said coldly.
Hearing the old Daoist's words, the Daoist felt a little guilty. He then threw the documents in front of the old Daoist, "Hm, what does this Pei Zi Yun have to say?"
The old Daoist stared at Zhou An, "The sect has sent us here. What's our main responsibility?"
"It's for the sake of our sect's growth in Ying Prefecture. It's not for us to fight amongst ourselves. It's also not for us to fight against Free Cloud Sect. The bigger picture now lies in the Forbidden Seas and Ji Bei Hou. No matter how outstanding a person is, how much can he affect the bigger picture?"
"Pei Zi Yun didn't die. Did Ji Bei Hou forget about his grudge? Even if Ji Bei Hou could forget about his grudge, could Pei Zi Yun forget about Hou Mansion? "
"It's because of Pei Zi Yun that Ji Bei Hou was forced to side with us."
"What if Pei Zi Yun dies?" The Daoist Zhou An was somewhat unwilling.
"If he dies, killed by Hou Mansion, we will be happy. Not only is he dead, Ji Bei Hou and Free Cloud Sect will be at odds. Who else can we ally with within the sect?"
"What's more, Ji Bei Hou is already leaning towards us. I've handed over the Forbidden Seas Policy to Ji Bei Hou, and allowed him to return to his homeland. This has caused the Imperial Court to have a good impression of him. Some time ago, the Emperor even rewarded him. Furthermore, his elite troops have joined the fleet and become a private army. If you take a closer look, you will realize that Ji Bei Hou's black aura has lessened, and his fate energy has increased. This is a big deal."
"Furthermore, our sect's tentacles have extended into the fleet. We've reaped many benefits from it, and are now part of our sect's fate energy."
"This is an open plan. Zhou An, now do you know why I'm the one in charge and you're the only one supervising?" The old Daoist laughed coldly as he spoke.
Hearing the old Daoist laugh, Zhou An took a few steps back. In terms of intelligence, he couldn't compete with him. In terms of Dao arts, he couldn't compare to the old Daoist either. He turned around and was about to leave when the old Daoist spoke out blandly, "Ji Ai Guo's innate talents are far beyond what I've imagined. I've already prepared to nurture her.
"What does this have to do with me?" Zhou An had already taken a few steps away when he turned around and spoke out angrily.
"The next time you barge into Ji Ai Guo's room without waiting for me to summon you, I shall kill you." The old Daoist spoke plainly, "The bigger picture is in my hands. Even if I were to kill you, how many waves would it cause? What can Elder Zeng say?"
"You!" Zhou An heard the old Daoist's words and was so angry that his face turned red. But when he saw the look on the old Daoist's face, he felt his hair stand on end. He gritted his teeth and turned around to leave.
"Master?"
A timid voice rang out from behind. Ji Ai Guo had finished her meditation and was walking out.
The old Daoist's expression changed as he looked at her kindly, "Ai Guo, are you shocked?"
"No." Ji Ai Guo shook her head before speaking out, "Senior Uncle Zhou, do you not like me? The way you looked at me the last time wasn't very good. "
"It's nothing, I'm just jealous. Do you know how good your innate talents are?" The old Daoist used his hands to gently stroke her eyelashes, "In a few short months, you've already reached the fourth level."
"Our Daoist sect's ten levels are all the same. The first and second levels are about health. Your physical body has no hidden injuries, and you've only suffered a little. With some nourishment, you've recovered. That's not rare at all."
"The third and fourth levels produce Qi. In other words, it's internal energy. In a few short months, you've achieved what others would take years to cultivate. Based on your situation, the fifth and sixth levels of Internal Strength, the seventh and eighth levels of Great Strength, and the ninth level of Hardness and Gentleness wouldn't be able to stop you. It's only a year or two. Only the Gates of Heaven might be a little difficult."
"With such innate talents, it's only natural that others would be jealous of you. They're all thinking of excuses to disturb you, or even to ruin you!"
"But don't worry, I will protect you. Whoever dares to disturb you, or ruin you, I will kill him." The old Daoist spoke as he lowered his body to look at her, "In future, I'll have to depend on you for my retirement, and on you to promote me!"
"Yes!" Ji Ai Guo nodded her head vigorously before asking, "Then when I grow up, can I kill that bad guy?"
"That bad guy has great abilities. It won't be easy. But I believe that one day, you'll be able to do it." The old Daoist laughed out loud.
