Chapter 386: Chapter 215: Senior and Junior Sisters Show Their True Feelings to Each Other (Part 2)
You Su fell into a moment of silence upon hearing this, understanding the intent of the Head Elder.
Eliminating the hidden dangers of the Divine Mountain is not a task that can be accomplished overnight. The Head Elder hoped he would endure for now, keeping this matter in mind until he had the power and status, which would allow him to investigate without fear of threats.
By then, even if he exposed that he possessed the Power of Taisui, as long as he demonstrated his value, no one would dare to touch him.
"I understand," You Su said.
"It’s good that you understand this. After becoming the Divine Son, coveting, spying, and dangers will follow you. For someone who has just broken into the Void Realm not long ago, a Venerable isn’t considered extremely dangerous. In order to eradicate all evil, you need to utilize every available force. It’s destined to be a selfish and dangerous path, all for the sake of restoring clarity to the world."
The Head Elder gazed at the night sky, where the stars and moon shone again from behind the clouds. He seemed to see hope that could pierce through the heavy darkness:
"Your assessment is over. Congratulations, you will be recognized as the only Night Divine Son by all the Exorcism Bureaus across the Five Continents. Together with your elder sister, lead the Human Race to drag out the three Evil Gods hidden in the unknown lands! Become executioners that all evil fears!"
You Su was stunned by the grand future in the Head Elder’s words. He stared blankly at his own hands, unable to see anything clearly.
Reflecting on the morning he met Mr. Ling, at the beginning of the story, he merely wanted to protect his family.
"Let’s go, and meet your incredible elder sister..."
The Head Elder withdrew his gaze and looked at the horizon behind him.
He knew that Wangshu was currently confronting an enemy at the Half-step Void Realm, but he wasn’t worried.
Because he knew that beneath the Void Realm, Wangshu was invincible in the world.
...
The Lotus Swordsmanship emphasizes the fluidity and agility of its moves; every strike is imbued with unique beauty and power, advancing step by step, causing enemies to fall back, ultimately leading them into an irreversible situation.
The practitioner must maintain a calm attitude, embodying the gentle yet resilient nature of the lotus to grasp the true essence of this swordsmanship. Clearly, Fairy Wangshu, with her Innate Purity, is more suited to this swordsmanship than anyone else.
Cailing was no longer as carefree as before; she couldn’t fathom the changes in Fairy Wangshu.
She recalled all her knowledge, even the forbidden Secret Techniques of evil sects, but couldn’t comprehend how one could leap from the Lower Feather Transformation Realm to Feather Transformation Perfection.
The battle between the two went from being lopsided to evenly matched, and now the balance of victory was slowly tipping.
Cailing spat furiously, her plans spoiled by the Lotus Sword Venerable, thinking she could bully her disciple, only to find she couldn’t even do that.
But fortunately! That blind person was still within her grasp!
She refused to believe she couldn’t outplay all of the Lotus Sword Venerable’s disciples.
Just then, Fairy Wangshu’s long-planned lethal move came at her. Cailing, not adept at confronting enemies head-on, found the ordinary evil spirits she summoned unable to obstruct Wangshu’s sword techniques, forcing her to retreat and give way.
As she retreated, she noticed someone leaping nimbly through the forest, rising from the treetops, rescuing Ji Lingruo from the evil spirit shaped like an airborne fish.
This person couldn’t fly, as they were not at the Feather Transformation Realm, and cushioned Ji Lingruo heavily in the forest, startling the birds.
It was Zi Yiyi, whom she had consistently overlooked.
With no worries left, Fairy Wangshu’s sword style grew fiercer. Her body seemed to exhaust Profound Qi unceasingly, and her lethal moves came in abundance.
Cailing, annoyed, considered releasing meticulously developed evil spirits to trouble Fairy Wangshu. Still, she knew Celestial Technique Venerable couldn’t stall any longer than the present, which boded ill for her.
She gave a sinister smile, ominous black energy surging from behind her, the eerie tattoos on her shoulders and back faintly glowing, displaying an air of mystery.
She shot an icy black arrow, leaving a long trail of death wherever it passed, targeting not Fairy Wangshu, but Ji Lingruo on the ground.
The black arrow clearly was not something Zi Yiyi could block. As she hesitated, contemplating whether to intercept it for Ji Lingruo, a pure white shadow stepped in front of her.
Fairy Wangshu exuded a luminous radiance, starkly contrasting with the black arrow.
The sword and arrow engaged in a standstill; Cailing smirked disdainfully, believing that no Skill was infallible. If any, let the adversary face it themselves.
With one final disdainful glance at Ji Lingruo and Wangshu, she left at once, transforming into a cloud of black mist hidden within the deep night.
Evil spirits excel in concealment and escape, and so do Evil Cultivators.
The contest between Fairy Wangshu and the black arrow finally reached its conclusion, the sword tip shattered the dark brilliance, but Fairy Wangshu also flew a great distance due to the immense recoil, crashing into a giant tree, leaving a dented trace.
Seeing this, Zi Yiyi hurriedly carried Ji Lingruo, rushing over as she couldn’t imagine the consequences if anything happened to the Divine Maiden, how the Exorcism Bureau would hold her accountable.
But Fairy Wangshu emerged on her own soon, relieving her worries.
The esteemed Divine Maiden, her snowy hair in disarray, her white dress tattered and frayed, yet her noble and sacred aura remained untouched.
She walked over slowly, taking Ji Lingruo from the stunned Zi Yiyi and cradling her in her embrace.
By now, Ji Lingruo was on the brink of tears. Being naturally sentimental, she realized there were others willing to save her aside from her sister and fellow apprentices.
She thought this was just a naive girl, but naive girls treat anyone willing to share a toy as a good friend.
"Elder sister..." Ji Lingruo called out softly.
"Junior sister." Fairy Wangshu’s blue eyes were clear, her brows relaxed, as if smiling.
A slight curve appeared on Ji Lingruo’s lips. She thought, her senior brother was right; as long as she called her elder sister, her elder sister would respond, for she was a sweet child, always ready with a reply, making people fall in love with her at first sight.
With a ’click,’ a piece of the Jade Rabbit Mask’s cheek unexpectedly chipped off and fell.
Staring at this small fingernail-sized gap, Ji Lingruo’s pupils widened as if glimpsing a forbidden secret.
Luckily, as her head was lowered, Zi Yiyi, standing to the side, didn’t witness it.
Evidently, Fairy Wangshu hadn’t anticipated such a change, hastily retrieving the fragment, slotting it back, concealing her true face once more beneath the mask.
Subsequently, she averted her eyes, shying away from Ji Lingruo’s gaze, shrinking like an outcast trembling within a crowd.
Suddenly, she felt someone holding her hand; it was Ji Lingruo’s trembling grasp.
Wangshu carefully looked toward Ji Lingruo, finding the girl gently smiling, her eyes devoid of fear or confusion that might distress her.
Ji Lingruo, holding Fairy Wangshu’s hand, placed it over her chest.
"I didn’t deceive you, elder sister, you see, my heart is beating fast..."
Ji Lingruo pressed slightly harder, wanting Wangshu to clearly feel her heartbeat.
Just last night, she taught Fairy Wangshu that letting someone touch your chest is to test true feelings.
"If you feel the heart racing under a touch, it means you genuinely like the person."
Fairy Wangshu remembered it well, and Ji Lingruo, through her heartbeat, told her she truly liked her.
It was also telling Fairy Wangshu that she, as her junior sister, wouldn’t care about her true appearance, hence there was no need to feel anxious about exposed secrets.
Fairy Wangshu’s blue eyes glistened like autumn water as she held Ji Lingruo’s hand in return and placed it over her heart, her heartbeat steady and strong, corresponding to the Innate Purity’s difficult-to-rise body temperature.
These sisters, with a delightful lie, witnessed each other’s true feelings.
