Chapter 398: Chapter 220: Senior Sister Is the Most Important Matter
It seemed like reproach, but the tone was full of affection.
Wangshu’s bright eyes narrowed, her slender, white eyelashes lightly trembling, much like the little spirit beast in her hand enjoying its master’s touch.
"Alright, Master Sister, I’ll go buy some gold-tailed worms."
You Su wisely withdrew his hand; the act was involuntary but ultimately disrespectful.
Wangshu decisively said, "I’ll go with Junior Brother."
"Is Master Sister not training today?"
"Today...I don’t feel like training."
Wangshu gazed at You Su’s sharply defined face, her left hand pressing against her smoothly rounded heart, choosing to follow her heart.
"Then I won’t train today either."
You Su beamed brightly, like a warm winter sun.
"Since Junior Brother is resting today, he’ll have to work twice as hard tomorrow."
Fairy Wangshu really did seem like a responsible Master Sister urging her Junior Brother to train.
"Master Sister too."
You Su resisted the urge to continue patting his adorable Master Sister’s head, walking side by side towards the staircase’s resting place.
Yet Fairy Wangshu mischievously said:
"I’m different from Junior Brother; I mustn’t try too hard."
You Su recalled Master Sister’s past state of complete non-training and curiously asked:
"Why mustn’t Master Sister try too hard?"
"Because the Master says my level breaks through too quickly and would scare others, so I should stabilize my cultivation before making breakthroughs. But actually, there’s nothing for me to stabilize, so I simply don’t train. I’ll wait until the Master says Wangshu, it’s time for a breakthrough, then I’ll train."
You Su was stunned on the spot; he didn’t expect the gap between people could be so vast. According to Master Sister, wasn’t she always waiting for peers to catch up?
What kind of concept is this?
In her eyes, all beings are turtles, while she is the jade rabbit that would never be overtaken in the turtle and rabbit race.
"Junior Brother, am I very good at training?"
Wangshu’s voice gentle, her tone expectant.
You Su didn’t feel like Master Sister was boasting or annoying; rather, he felt a bit sympathetic.
Master couldn’t have praised Master Sister’s training talent, instead worrying about her standing out too much.
Which made this young girl know her distinctive traits but have to restrain herself.
Actually, she also craved others’ affirmation, so she chose to ’show off’ to him.
"Very good, Master Sister is the most talented person I’ve ever met."
You Su sincerely said.
Wangshu stopped, gaze fixed on You Su, suddenly withdrew her gaze like being electrified, and quickly ran onto the transparent staircase.
The swirling sea of clouds seemed to be beneath her feet; she was like a fairy born from the clouds, turning to look at You Su:
"Let’s go, Junior Brother."
"Mm!"
You Su nodded emphatically, stepping forward, taking a deep breath of the mountaintop’s air, fresh and sweet.
The life at Lotus Peak is truly wonderful!
The young boy marveled but was awakened from his revelry by a sophisticated female voice.
"Where are you two planning to go?"
A graceful and noble woman slowly approached, hair adorned with glimmering jewels, dressed in silk clothes, her figure curvaceous and mature, seeming to squeeze water out.
While the Third Elder was beautiful, her tone wasn’t quite friendly, resembling a beautiful matron who caught a little rascal planning to steal away her daughter.
"Third Elder, Master Sister and I were just about to visit Beast Taming Peak."
"Seems you’re idle enough, cultivation is like rowing upstream, you either progress or regress, do you understand?"
The Third Elder’s voice was eerie, sarcastic.
You Su felt helpless; isn’t the situation like sitting in a room doing homework for two hours, ready to relax, and parents break in to catch you in the act, then scold you for not studying all day?
But in such a situation, You Su knew explanations were futile, opting to swallow the lame excuse.
Words of agreement were about to escape his mouth, only for Fairy Wangshu to speak up for You Su first.
"Third Elder, Junior Brother trains diligently every day! It’s just today I wanted to visit Beast Taming Peak, so Junior Brother is accompanying me."
Upon hearing this, Third Elder reluctantly pursed her lips, saying:
"Well, combining work and rest is acceptable, but today isn’t feasible, Exorcism Bureau’s upper echelons have made preparations, You Su, come see them with me. After today, you’ll officially be the Night Divine Son."
You Su’s thoughts settled slightly, sighing internally, this day indeed has come.
"No!"
Fairy Wangshu suddenly appeared stern, first refusing for You Su.
"What’s wrong, Little Wangshu? Don’t you want your Junior Brother to become a Divine Son?"
Third Elder asked with concern, never having seen the girl so openly express her emotions.
"Junior Brother is supposed to accompany me to Beast Taming Peak today, not going to Exorcism Bureau. They’ve lived long enough, one more day won’t matter, Junior Brother can meet them tomorrow."
The girl spoke rather disrespectfully.
"..."
Third Elder froze, never expecting this answer.
She could only glare resentfully at You Su, utterly confused about what enchantment soup this boy had given Wangshu.
You Su listened with alarm, internally shouting, Master Sister, please be cautious with your words!
"Little Wangshu, can’t your Junior Brother accompany you to Beast Taming Peak tomorrow? Even if tomorrow doesn’t work, the day after is fine. But this matter of being appointed Divine Son is a monumental occasion for your Junior Brother, not to be postponed. So many prominent cultivators are waiting for him, this date isn’t one to casually change?"
Third Elder spoke persuasively.
Wangshu hesitated, seeming reluctant.
She knew Third Elder was right but really didn’t want to let Junior Brother leave her side.
"But..."
"Third Elder, you’re mistaken; today accompanying Master Sister to Beast Taming Peak is an urgent priority for me. As for those dignitaries seated on cloud platforms, they can kindly wait another day."
You Su smiled broadly, stepping onto the staircase under Third Elder’s astonished gaze.
"Please excuse me, Third Elder, I’ll visit another day to apologize."
With that, You Su gently pressed the staircase’s control.
