Chapter 629 - Senior Master Qingshui
Chapter 629 Senior Master Qingshui
The woman turned around and looked down at what she was wearing. She frowned and said nothing. Being scantily clad with a red dress, she suddenly covered herself up with a cyan-brown priest frock.
She gave a salute of Taoist with one hand, and meanwhile, a horsetail whisk appeared in the other hand. Her eyes were calm and peaceful as if she cared about nothing.
“Yu’er, how long have I been asleep?”
Xuan Yu’er had to answer, “I… I just got here, too.”
But she was uneasy. Why did Senior Master Qingshui wake up at this time? If Su Jiuzhou came over, wouldn’t she happen to be in trouble?
“Do not you know that?”
Senior Master Qingshui walked out of the cave with a cold face. Xuan Yu’er hurriedly followed, “Senior Master! Please don’t walk around. Your soul is still weak!”
“I’m afraid I won’t be able to get out if I don’t come out now.”
Senior Master Qingshui spoke calmly. When the oncoming junior sister apprentice saw Senior Master Qingshui, she was surprised and delighted, “Master, you are awake! It has been nine hundred years!”
“Huan’er.”
Senior Master Qingshui’s eyes showed a little warmth, “How is everything going during my deep sleep?”
Holding Senior Master Qingshui’s arm, Huan’er nodded and spoke. Xuan Yu’er silently followed behind, with a sad expression.
“Everything in the sect is fine, but the outside is not peaceful. And, Master, it hasn’t been long since the Tianjiao Battle was completed…”
Huan’er said. Seeing that her master seldom woke up, she seemed to talk endlessly and almost spoke of all the major events of the last 900 years in one breath.
“Fate Ancestor actually can do nothing about Su Jiuzhou… She seems hard to handle.”
Senior Master Qingshui’s face seemed to never change, and she said at a constant speed, “If it is possible, I would like to see her.”
Huan’er didn’t know about the death testing, and also didn’t know that Xuan Yu’er had contact with Su Jiuzhou. She just nodded, “I heard that Su Jiuzhou is less than a hundred years old, and her cultivation is only at the peak of Yuanying Realm, but her power is comparable to that of a Junior Emperor! She is talented and has cunning stratagems. Since the establishment of Ni Sect, its power has been getting stronger. But Fate Palace has no response. It should be afraid of Ni Sect.”
“Never underestimate Fate Ancestor.”
Senior Master Qingshui berated. Tiredness flashed in her eyes with blood color, but she forced down it again, and she said lightly, “I just came out for a breath. Can you wait me a minute?”
“Master, your soul…”
Huan’er said worriedly. Senior Master Qingshui showed an abnormal smile. She comforted, “It’s okay. I will always be with you.”
Huan’er’s eyes suddenly turned red.
Xuan Yu’er had secrets with the Madam, and she also had secrets with her master.
Master’s soul was poisoned by Fate Ancestor with the Poisonous Fate Substitute Insect. She woke up because of Tianxing Immortal Water, but she also had irreversible injuries. Her soul was weakened and fell into a long coma.
If she stayed in a coma, her death would only be a matter of time.
At that time, it happened that the cultivation companion of the Owner of Tianxing Valley lost her physical body. But she was still alive without the physical body, because she practiced the Secret Method of Soul. However, the ordinary physical body couldn’t bear it due to her powerful cultivation.
The Owner of Tianxing Valley came up with an idea, which was to implant the soul of his cultivation companion into Master’s awareness sea. The two souls coexisted, and the soul of Master could also acquire cultivation, which could be described as killing two birds with one stone.
This was indeed the case. After ten thousand years had passed, the intervals between Master’s awakening were getting shorter, which proved that her soul was recovering.
Master was getting better, but she…didn’t know if she could wait until Master woke up next time. Although she called Xuan Yu’er senior sister apprentice, and she still looked like a teenager; even her bone age was also measured as in her teens, in fact, she was more than 13,000 years old.
She had stopped growing since ten thousand years ago, and her cultivation had also stopped when she was three thousand years old. The life span of being in the nature’s test was only 15,000 years.
“Your still have your spell. It means that Many-faced Witch who cooperated with Fate Ancestor is still in this circle, but…I don’t know where she is hidden. If you can kill her, with the foundation you have accumulated over the past ten thousand years, you will definitely enter the realm of a Junior Emperor, or even higher than it.”
Senior Master Qingshui transmitted the sound to comfort her, “Don’t be afraid. I will help you.”
Huan’er was silent. Master was extremely weak. How could Master help her?
Many-faced Witchwas a Junior Emperor ten thousand years ago with evil and vicious methods. She must be more powerful after ten thousand years of accumulation. Who could match her?
At this moment, an old woman with the same priest frock came hurriedly. Seeing Senior Master Qingshui in the courtyard, she was surprised, “Grandmaster Qingshui, you are awake?!”
Senior Master Qingshui nodded, “Qu He, thanks for your hard work these years.”
“Grandmaster, not at all. It is my job.”
At this point, the old woman suddenly said, “By the way! It just happens that you wake up. I can’t make up my mind. Su Jiuzhou came to visit our Ciyun Building, wanting to borrow the most precious treasure—Perfection Wheel. Grandmaster, what do you think?”
“Su Jiuzhou?”
Senior Master Qingshui was a little surprised. “I just talked about this woman with Huan’er. Speak of the devil—here she comes!”
“I will meet her in person.”
“It’s so good!”
“I also want to see this prodigy.” Huan’er said.
Seeing Senior Master Qingshui and others walk out of the courtyard, Xuan Yu’er drew a long face, almost crying. Oh, what a coincidence!
After having tea in the antechamber of Ciyun Building, Su Li waited shortly before hearing the footsteps.
When she turned around, she saw a group of people walking into the room. The Owner of Ciyun Building was only in second, headed by a Taoist nun who looked less than 30 years old.
Was that Senior Master Qingshui?!
Ling Li was surprised. He had heard a lot of rumors about Senior Master Qingshui. It was said that she became mad due to her enormous practice. She was alternately sober and crazy. Now she seemed sober.
They were lucky.
“I’m Su Jiuzhou. Are you Senior Master Qingshui?”
Su Li stood up and lowered her head slightly, showing respect.
Senior Master Qingshui turned her face expressionlessly and walked to the center. When she sat down, she said straightforward, “The treasure of Ciyun Building is never lent!”
Hearing such words, Su Jiuzhou frowned, and Ling Li looked serious.
It seemed that their luck was not very good.
Xuan Yu’er’s eyes dulled when she heard this.
Something was wrong!
Master couldn’t control Su Jiuzhou due to her violent temper. If they played hardball, Mastercouldn’tpass the death testing!
Su Li sipped the tea, smiling peacefully, “Today is different from the past. I can see that the soul of Senior Master is very weak. If I manage to cure you immediately, can you lend me the Perfection Wheel?”
Hearing this, Huan’er brightened her eyes immediately.
But Senior Master Qingshui remained calm and slowly put down the horsetail whisk in her hand, speaking slowly, “As the sixth-generation heir of Ciyun Building, I can’t violate the ancestral discipline.”
Su Li frowned and finally felt that it was too difficultto cope with Senior Master Qingshui.
“Then what do you want, so that you are willing to lend me the treasure? If Qingshui Circle falls, Ciyun Building will not be in safety, right?”
Senior Master Qingshui closed her eyes, “Taoism follows nature. All things cannot be forced. You should leave now…”
The atmosphere in the hall suddenly froze.
Su Li put down the cup, smiled slightly, and stood up, “Okay… I’m leaving.”
After speaking, she turned and left.
Xuan Yu’er was anxious and chased after her, “Grand Elder Su, wait a moment. Please listen to me…”
Sitting in the hall, Ling Li stared at Senior Master Qingshuiand said softly, “I hope you will not regret it in the future.”
After speaking, he also got up and left. Huan’er wanted to ask him to stay, but her sleeves were pulled by Senior Master Qingshui.
“Master!”
Huan’er was anxious. Senior Master Qingshui’s eyes suddenly opened with blood color, and the priest frock changed into a red dress.
“I can’t stand it! Qingshui, you’re still hypocritical at this time!”
Huan’er only felt that the red shadow flashed in front of her, and then she couldn’t see her master.
“Lady Xueshen…”
Huan’er looked at the figure rushing out quickly, and she was grateful. Master was sometimes pedantic and concerned about face-saving. If she had a bit of boldness like Lady Xueshen, maybe they wouldn’t end up in that situation in those years.
When Xuan Yu’er raced to the gate of the mountain, she was anxious to see that Su Li had already stepped out of the Defensive Matrix. But at this moment, there was a loud noise from the sky.
“Hold on, Su Jiuzhou. Please stay!”
Su Li was little bit stunned. This voice…was of Qingshui? Why did it feel like a different person?
The red shadow flashed, “Qingshui” stood in front of Su Li, staring at Su Li breathlessly. She said with a smile,
“Jiuzhou, don’t rush to leave. Let me entertain you, and you can use the Perfection Wheel as you please. I won’t have a complaint even if it is broken.”
At this point, the expression of anger emerged in the eyes of “Qingshui” again, “Xue Ying, you are in Ciyun Building, not in your Xueshen Sect.”
“Shut up!”
The blood color in her eyes rose, and it overwhelmed the cyan color in an instant.
“It turns out to be two souls.”
Su Li immediately saw through the “Qingshui” in front of her.
“Madam, you come out! Great!”
Xuan Yu’er breathed a sigh of relief. She walked excitedly to the woman in red and apologized, “Sorry, Grand Elder Su. Madam and Senior Master Qingshui share one body. Senior Master Qingshui is staid and pedantic, but she actually hopes that someone can stand up and resist Fate Ancestor. You don’t need to worry about the treasure of Ciyun Building, and Madam can make the decision.”
“So… shall we go into the hall and discuss it in detail?”
Su Li asked and smiled slightly.
Seeing that she was not angry, Xuan Yu’er breathed a sigh of relief, “This way please, Grand Elder Su!”
Ling Li watched this scene quizzically and then looked at Qingshui who was scantily clad with a red dress. He couldn’t help thinking that the rumors were harmful.
Su Jiuzhou returned to the hall. Seeing that the Senior Master turned into Lady Xueshen, Qu He couldn’t help smiling bitterly.
“What are you doing? Why don’t you take out that wheel immediately?”
Xue Ying leaned on the soft couch without concern about her image and had a tobacco pipe in her hand, rolling her eyes to the current Owner of Ciyun Building, Qu He.
Qu He smiled bitterly and looked at Huan’er. Huan’er was silent for a moment and then nodded. She couldn’t continue to be pedantic like Master, which only harmed others and Master herself.
“That’s right!”
Xue Ying nodded with satisfaction, “Huan’er, learn more from me to be more open-minded. If a person was staid and pedantic, he or she would be a waste of space!”
“Xue Ying!!”
