Chapter 3 In order not to go to Yuxiang Sect to eat free food, I have to work hard
In a flash, the person landed.
It was a woman who looked to be around thirty years old.
She had delicate features, a graceful figure, and her beauty was even comparable to You Lianruo's.
"Mistress, you've come just in time; she wants to kill me."
Lu Bai decided to complain first. If that enchanting woman spoke first, he would definitely be put in a passive position.
Su Tingyu rolled her beautiful eyes and glanced at You Lianruo.
"Mistress, it's a misunderstanding!" You Lianruo immediately put on a pitiful expression.
What? You call her Mistress too?
Lu Bai was dumbfounded.
But the other people present were calm; they thought this address was fine.
If she really had something with Lu Bai, calling her Mistress was appropriate.
As for Su Tingyu, her expression was similar to Lu Bai's; she hadn't expected the other party to call her that.
After a slight stunned, she showed a hint of a smile: "Young lady, there are too many people here. How about you come with me to Chixiao Peak and we can talk slowly?"
"As Mistress commands." You Lianruo obediently agreed.
Then, the two flew away hand in hand.
Leaving everyone looking at each other, and finally all looking at Lu Bai.
Lu Bai looked bewildered!
He wondered, was this really their first meeting? Why did they get along like mother and daughter?
I'm the 'biological' one!
He snapped out of it and quickly controlled the flying boat to chase after them.
…
Chixiao Peak.
When Lu Bai arrived, Su Tingyu and You Lianruo were chatting and laughing, the atmosphere quite harmonious.
"Mistress, what are you trying to do?" Lu Bai stepped forward and whispered.
Bringing You Lianruo in, he truly couldn't understand. Wasn't this confirming the other party's slander?
Su Tingyu glanced at her Disciple.
"What, do you want all those people at the mountain gate to hear your story?"
Lu Bai paused.
What story do we have?
Su Tingyu continued: "Now it's just the three of us. Tell me, what exactly happened?"
She looked sharply at Lu Bai.
Lu Bai was very familiar with this look.
Whenever Mistress looked like this, it meant, if you dare to lie, I'll break your legs.
Lu Bai opened his mouth, not knowing where to start.
He couldn't expose the System's existence, but if he didn't, how could he explain his mysterious behavior?
"Let me speak!"
Seeing Lu Bai remain silent for a long time, You Lianruo volunteered.
"Good."
Su Tingyu nodded.
Then, You Lianruo recounted everything from their meeting in Sangyu City until the present, finally asking Lu Bai: "Did I say anything untrue?"
Lu Bai couldn't find any fault, because the other party narrated plainly without any embellishment.
This surprised him a bit!
"When a Golden Wind meets a Jade Dew, it surpasses countless meetings in the human world?" Su Tingyu finished listening, looked at Lu Bai, and recited with a half-smile.
Lu Bai wanted to find a hole to crawl into.
He was 'socially dead' in front of Mistress!
"You're interested in that young lady?" Su Tingyu asked unreservedly.
Lu Bai cried out internally, I'm not.
But on the surface, he lowered his head and awkwardly 'hmm'ed.
"You're interested in my Little Bai?" Su Tingyu then turned to You Lianruo.
You Lianruo secretly pouted, him?
Then, she shyly nodded.
"What do you like about my Little Bai?" Su Tingyu pressed, because she couldn't understand.
You Lianruo's lips moved, but she couldn't answer.
Su Tingyu smiled and turned back to Lu Bai: "Why did you run away later?"
"She wanted to kill me, could I not run?" Lu Bai said pitifully.
"I didn't." You Lianruo immediately denied it.
"Still saying you didn't, you even showed your Magic Treasure." Lu Bai immediately exposed her.
"I, I just wanted to catch you." You Lianruo mumbled softly.
Su Tingyu looked at her deeply.
She had heard a little about the Yu Xiang Sect Disciples' style. It seemed this little girl truly liked Lu Bai, otherwise she wouldn't have immediately made a move.
Does love at first sight really exist?
"Mistress, I was wrong. I shouldn't have spoken carelessly in front of so many people." You Lianruo didn't wait for the other party to ask further and voluntarily confessed her fault.
At this point, everything was clear, and she still called her Mistress. Clearly, she was determined to tie herself to Lu Bai.
Su Tingyu didn't speak, wondering what she was thinking.
After a long while.
She spoke: "Miss You, what are your plans? I want to hear the truth."
You Lianruo saw Su Tingyu's serious tone, pondered for a moment, and replied: "I want Lu Bai to come with me to the Yu Xiang Sect to cultivate."
After speaking, her pretty face flushed crimson.
This time, it wasn't an act.
It was well known what kind of School the Yu Xiang Sect was. Everyone understood what it meant to go with her to cultivate.
"Impossible." Lu Bai immediately jumped out to object.
Although You Lianruo's suggestion was very tempting, it would be hard for any normal man to refuse. If the System hadn't awakened yet, Lu Bai might have been a bit reserved, but he would have probably agreed.
But it was different now.
The Golden Finger had officially activated, and he was destined to be extraordinary. He couldn't discard his future choices for a little immediate gain.
Furthermore.
Lu Bai always felt that You Lianruo had ulterior motives and wasn't as simple as she appeared. Going to the Yu Xiang Sect would mean being at her mercy, which made him feel very insecure.
You Lianruo pressed her lips together.
She also knew that her request was a bit excessive.
Leaving aside other considerations, just for the sake of Xuanqing Sect's face, the other party couldn't possibly agree.
How could she persuade them?
"Good."
Su Tingyu lightly clapped her jade palm: "It's settled then!"
Lu Bai and You Lianruo: "???"
The two looked at each other, confirming through each other's expressions that their ears weren't playing tricks on them.
She said good!
Good for what?!
Lu Bai plopped down, hugging Su Tingyu's thigh, wailing: "Mistress, you can't just sell me like this!"
Su Tingyu shook her leg.
How could this child talk like that! What do you mean 'sell'? Only valuable things are sold; you're at most a gift.
"Calm down, we're not done talking."
"Oh!" Lu Bai thought there was a turning point, so he composed himself and stood obediently to the side.
"It's possible, but I have a condition." Su Tingyu said to You Lianruo.
"Mistress, please speak."
"You must formally… I mean, when Lu Bai goes with you to cultivate, you must announce it to the entire Eastern Domain."
"After all, my Xuanqing Sect is also one of the Ten Great Holy Sects, not some small School. It's improper for you to just take him away!"
You Lianruo thought about it; it made sense.
She readily agreed.
Compared to awakening the 'Heavenly Profound Charming Bone,' this was nothing.
Hey, hey, hey!
Lu Bai became anxious. After all this discussion, it was still this result?
What good would announcing it to the Eastern Domain do for me?
"Lu Bai."
At this moment, Lu Bai suddenly heard his Mistress's voice transmission.
She said earnestly: "You were brought back to the Sect by me at the age of eight, and it has been ten years now. I have always treated you like my son, and I believe you can feel that."
"Your Spiritual Bone is barren, making it very difficult for you to embark on the path of cultivation. I know this girl has impure motives towards you, but Mistress can see that she won't harm your life."
"With Xuanqing Sect backing you, she wouldn't dare either."
"Going with her to the Yu Xiang Sect might not be a bad way out; at least you can live a carefree life forever."
"In two more years, you'll be twenty, and according to Xuanqing Sect's rules, if you still can't advance to the Qi Training Stage, you'll be expelled from the Sect."
"In the past, Mistress would have made a fuss and ensured you wouldn't be driven away. But now, Mistress fears she is willing but unable! You also know the situation of Chixiao Peak, Mistress…"
At this point, Su Tingyu choked up slightly.
Lu Bai felt very uncomfortable listening.
Chixiao Peak, once ranked among the top in Xuanqing Sect's seventy-two peaks.
But ever since Master's cultivation was crippled, it had fallen drastically.
Now, it was at the bottom.
Few Disciples were willing to join such a peak, so they were sparsely populated.
Not only were they few in number, but their quality was also hard to describe.
Except for Senior Sister Ji Fuyao, there wasn't a single normal person, including Lu Bai himself.
The entire mountain peak was supported by Su Tingyu.
She had suffered greatly these past years!
Lu Bai saw it and always wanted to help his Mistress share the burden.
But, he was a Trash, and besides causing her worry, he couldn't help with anything.
However, that was in the past.
Now…
"Mistress, don't worry, I won't let you down again."
Lu Bai couldn't transmit his voice; he spoke this sentence aloud.
Su Tingyu was slightly stunned.
At the same time, she felt deeply relieved, thinking Lu Bai had agreed.
Who knew.
Lu Bai then continued: "Let's set a two-year deadline. If I'm still a hopeless case, you don't need to kick me out; I'll roll to the Yu Xiang Sect myself, how about that?"
