Chapter 138: Chapter 136: Discovered?!
Upon hearing these words, the heart lake of Su Xiyue that was already rippling with delicate waves suddenly felt like a stone had been thrown in, setting off circles of turmoil that were hard to calm.
Did my sister discover it?!
Even though she forced herself to remain calm, when it was truly mentioned, the instinctive reaction was beyond control.
Su Xihe keenly captured the subtle changes in her younger sister.
First, the palm that she had been holding became tense; her breathing turned shallow and rapid, and even her usually cool cheeks showed an unusual blush.
What happened?!
She merely asked casually, so why was her sister’s reaction so intense?!
Could there really be something going on?
At this point, even if you say she went out at night to meet a man...
Don’t say it, really don’t say it!
Especially with what Liu Zixiao mentioned earlier, occasionally dazing off, and having a hoarse throat!
"Xiyue, you...!"
Su Xihe’s eyes were filled with disbelief, wanting to ask but hesitated, unable to find the words.
Impossible, absolutely impossible!
She still refused to believe that her sister, who was always so cool and pure, would willingly go out at night to meet a man.
It’s not that she forbids her sister from finding someone.
It’s that this situation is too sudden, without any warning signs.
Who could it be?!
Su Xihe frowned, her eyes flickering, as if pondering.
Inexplicably, she suddenly thought of someone... Qin Yu!
Qin Yu’s talent was extraordinarily good, and his looks... were acceptable. But for Su Xiyue, such superficial things like love at first sight are unlikely to happen!
As the First Fairy of Yunlan Domain, there were countless pursuers, including Saint Sons and Senior Brothers from other Immortal Sects.
Yet, Su Xiyue never paid much attention to them.
Her heart was devoted to the Dao, which is why at this age, she could comprehend Sword Intent and not lag in cultivation.
How could she possibly be interested in someone who already had a Dao Companion?!
Now that it was pointed out, Su Xiyue became calm but remained silent.
Facing such a situation, Su Xihe knew she couldn’t ask anything more.
Though suspicious, there were some connections that couldn’t be made.
Besides, even if it’s about meeting someone at night, it had nothing to do with her Root Bone; she tended to believe her sister gained some fortune.
But what exactly was that fortune, she couldn’t decipher.
Still, regardless of what happened, her sister indeed was without hidden injuries and truly possessed the Dao Bone, and her cultivation had broken through to Golden Core.
These were good things.
Su Xihe believed that one day she would uncover the truth.
...
Even upon arriving at the Immortal Sect, Qin Yu dared not be the slightest bit complacent.
He spent an entire night enhancing his Root Bone!
It thoroughly exhausted his beautiful master, as she, with the Innate Sacred Body, bore the brunt.
The next day.
Qin Yu got out of bed, intending to cultivate diligently and strive to break through to Foundation Establishment soon.
However, just then, a maid arrived, informing him that the Sect Leader wanted to see him.
Originally, he thought it would be at the main hall, but unexpectedly, he was led by the maid to the front of the Sect Leader’s Cave Mansion.
Stepping inside.
Qin Yu saw the Sect Leader sitting beside a stone table in the courtyard.
Her gaze rested upon the water surface ahead, occasionally tossing bait to feed the spiritual fish within.
She sat there quietly, emanating no aura, yet giving off an indescribable, majestic presence.
Once again faced with this Sect Leader, Qin Yu still felt amazed!
How could such a stunning woman exist in this world, able to captivate a nation even without a smile.
The next moment.
Su Xihe’s gaze swept over, prompting Qin Yu to immediately lower his head.
From afar, he respectfully saluted, "Qin Yu, greets the Sect Leader!"
"No need for formalities!"
Su Xihe once more scrutinized Qin Yu.
He had a sharp brow and starry eyes, standing tall like a graceful orchid or jade tree, possessing a unique charisma akin to a sturdy pine, or like a boulder standing firm amidst rushing currents.
It seemed... nothing in this world could stop him.
This was a kind of confidence!
Although outwardly maintaining a humble and courteous attitude, deep in his eyes, Su Xihe noticed a well-concealed pride.
At his age, possessing High Tier Spiritual Power was indeed something to be proud of.
However, worldly matters are rarely perfect!
His shortcoming was his Root Bone.
A Lower Grade Spirit Bone predetermined his limits, but the issue wasn’t fatal; if the Immortal Sect invested resources in him, his future achievements wouldn’t fall short of the First Alchemist.
Just that, due to the Root Bone, the journey would be very long.
Such is the imperfection of beauty!
"Come closer."
Seeing Qin Yu standing at the entrance, Su Xihe spoke, her tone still gentle.
Qin Yu moved at her words.
But halted outside the stone pavilion, keeping his gaze lowered without overstepping, showing no sign of imprudence.
Su Xihe’s expression subtly shifted.
This guy knew his place well, neither losing decorum nor letting his outstanding talent make him conceited, which was indeed commendable.
Immediately, a faint smile appeared on her lips, "Are you satisfied with the Cave Mansion?"
"Satisfied, thank you, Sect Leader!"
Qin Yu’s gratitude was apparent.
Even though he didn’t fully understand Cyan Mountain Sect, he knew the significance of residing on the main peak.
This was beyond ordinary regard for him!
His undisguised gratitude made Su Xihe even more pleased with him. After casually asking a few questions, she then got to the main topic.
"I heard you’ve lived in the Outer City of Lin Xian City for over twenty years?"
"Yes!"
This was something impossible to hide, so Qin Yu spoke up actively, "Thirty years ago, Qin Yu was mediocre and only upon marrying and having an epiphany did I gain achievements."
"Then, becoming a disciple of Danxin Herb Hall, it was under my master’s guidance that I broke through my Spiritual Power to High Tier!"
What he said closely matched what Liu Zixiao had found out.
However, hearing him recount it now, Su Xihe couldn’t help but feel a bit moved.
Loose Cultivator City was a place of scarce resources to her, let alone the Outer City. Clearly, before joining Danxin Herb Hall, Qin Yu achieved his Spiritual Power breakthrough through self-discovery.
This truly was a testament to talent!
But there was one thing she still didn’t understand, so she asked, "If you had a Spirit Bone, why didn’t you enter the Immortal Sect?"
A Spirit Bone, even a Lower Grade one, should have warranted selection as an Immortal Seed. Even if residing in Lin Xian City, he shouldn’t have ended up in the Outer City?!
Qin Yu naturally knew this was unreasonable and had already prepared an explanation, so he said, "I won’t hide it, Sect Leader. During childhood, Qin Yu once suffered a serious injury..."
