Chapter 52: Third Senior Sister’s Home
What happened to his senior sister? She went home to visit her family and didn’t come back. Did her aunt keep her for dinner? Otherwise, several months have passed. That shouldn’t be the case, right?
Su Yan’s head was full of questions, but the answers to all of them could only be found when he saw her.
Back in his room, Su Yan began to pack his luggage. There wasn’t much to pack, just some change of clothes, plus some spirit stones and money.
“Little fox, you come with me too. Let’s go down the mountain together,” Su Yan said to the little fox. His Master had forbidden him from bringing any helpers, saying that it wouldn’t have the effect of gaining experience. But she had forbidden him from bringing people; a fox should be fine.
“Chiu chiu chiu.”
The little fox nodded and jumped onto his body, rubbing against him gently.
Of course, I’m going. My meal ticket is leaving. If I stay here, won’t I starve to death?
Su Yan smiled lightly, stroking the little one’s soft fur. Then, the human and the fox had dinner together.
The next day, Su Yan packed his bags and left the sect with the little fox.
The Transcendent Immortal Sect was one of the five great immortal sects, located in the prosperous Central Continent. His Third Senior Sister’s hometown, however, was thousands of miles away, already in the territory of the Eastern Continent.
“Let me see!”
Su Yan opened the map. The Eastern Continent was, of course, in the east. As a cultivator, he didn’t have to worry about the rugged roads. As long as he was heading in the right direction, he just had to keep flying.
“This is so boring.”
Su Yan sighed. Flying on a sword not only required constant concentration but also enduring the wind and rain. It was really a bit hard to bear.
“Who’s to blame? This is the so-called ‘gaining experience’.”
Su Yan shook his head and flew into the distance.
On the way, he couldn’t help but think about the information he had on his Third Senior Sister.
There were three senior sisters on Heavenly Water Peak. They were all heaven-blessed prodigies, far beyond the reach of ordinary people.
The Eldest Senior Sister, Xiao Wu, was the strongest of the younger generation. Not only was she the Eldest Senior Sister of Heavenly Water Peak, but she was also the senior sister of the entire sect.
After all, to be close to the Nascent Soul stage at such a young age was simply incredible.
Xiao Wu’s family background was also heaven-defying. Her mother was the Sect Master of the Transcendent Immortal Sect, and her cultivation was already at the Void Interpretation realm. She was definitely a standard second-generation immortal.
The Second Senior Sister, Long Bing, was no less impressive. As the princess of the cultivation nation, the Dragon Kingdom, she had been tested to have heaven-defying aptitude since she was a child and was sent to the Transcendent Immortal Sect, where she was taken in by Bai Shuixin.
Her life had been smooth sailing, and she had basically never encountered any obstacles. In the original plot of the novel, she was a woman with a “cool” script.
“Third Senior Sister’s fate is much more… difficult…”
Su Yan thought of his Third Senior Sister, Ling Ling’s, life experience. Among the three senior sisters, only she was of mortal origin.
Senior Sister Ling Ling was born into an ordinary mortal family. Although her family was well-off, there were too many twists and turns in a large family. Her Third Senior Sister had a very unhappy childhood.
If it weren’t for her longing for freedom, her courage to resist her family, and the various hardships she had experienced, which eventually led to her being noticed by their wandering Master, who knows what would have happened to her now.
“But she’s finally free now. A marriage with a strange man was also for the sake of benefits. How can such benefits compare to a promising cultivator?”
Su Yan thought to himself. His Second Senior Sister had a very unhappy childhood. The only one who was good to her was her aunt. She must have come back this time to visit this relative, right?
But so much time has passed. Why hasn’t she returned yet?
“How strange.”
Su Yan was a little puzzled, but now was not the time to think about these things. The most important thing was to travel. Everything would be clear when he arrived.
At this thought, he flew through the air on his sword.
His Second Senior Sister’s home was very far away. It was impossible to reach it in a day by flying on a sword.
Along the way, Su Yan ate and slept in the open. The nights were extremely boring. Fortunately, he had brought the little fox with him. When he had nothing to do, he would interact with it, play with its ears and tail, and rub its belly.
“Chiu chiu chiu.”
‘So comfortable. Pet me more.’
The little fox felt the hand roaming over its body and comfortably lay on the ground, a hint of pink appearing on its fur.
“Eh, you can even change color?”
The little fox didn’t answer. At this moment, its body was so comfortable that it had gone limp.
“Chiu chiu chiu.”
‘No… no strength…’
…
Because of his looks, Su Yan tried to avoid crowded places as much as possible. The outside world was not like the sect. If he was noticed by some bad woman, she might make a move on him.
But now that he was in the city, Su Yan no longer had any worries.
This was his Third Senior Sister’s home. If someone made a move on him here, he just had to make a commotion. When his Third Senior Sister saw him being bullied, she would definitely step in to help.
“Finally, I don’t have to be on edge anymore.”
He had been extremely careful along the way, worried about encountering an accident. Now that he was in the city, he immediately felt much safer.
Su Yan took a deep breath and looked at the mortal city before him.
This was an inconspicuous city in the Eastern Continent, with very few cultivators. It was on the edge of the prosperous area, so there shouldn’t be any danger.
At this thought, Su Yan began to admire the nearby scenery. There were pavilions and towers everywhere, as well as vendors selling things.
“Candied hawthorns! Delicious candied hawthorns!”
“Selling bananas! Delicious and fun bananas!”
“Chiu chiu?”
The little fox looked at the banana vendor with a puzzled expression. It knew that bananas were delicious, but fun? What was fun about them?
Su Yan quickly covered its ears.
“You’re just a fox. You don’t need to know!”
“Chiu chiu!”
‘I know!’
The little fox was very obedient and rubbed its head against his body gently.
“Phew~”
Su Yan breathed a sigh of relief. He had finally managed to brush it off. What was with the people in this city? To be so openly lewd?
Just as Su Yan was sighing to himself, a commotion came from ahead.
“You vixen! How dare you try to seduce my senior brother!”
“What seduction? Love between a man and a woman is perfectly natural. I just gave him a flirtatious look. Don’t talk nonsense.”
“Just a flirtatious look? You deliberately lifted your skirt to show your snow-white thighs! You’re so shameless!”
The charming woman was displeased. “What’s wrong with me lifting my skirt? It’s hot. Can’t I fan myself? You little brat, mind your own business!”
“You…!”
The young girl couldn’t win the argument, and her face flushed with anger. With a clang, she drew her sword.
Just then, her senior brother quickly pressed down on the young girl’s hand, trying to stop her in a panic.
Seeing that a conflict was about to break out, three options appeared before Su Yan’s eyes.
[Option 1: In broad daylight, under the clear sky, someone is actually harassing a decent family man? Step forward and help the young girl! (Reward for completion: Low-grade spiritual weapon, the Sun Essence Wheel)]
[Option 2: Fighting is not good. Take the initiative to mediate and resolve the conflict with words. (Reward for completion: Low-grade spiritual weapon, the Moon Essence Wheel)]
[Option 3: Act as if nothing is happening. I’m just passing by. (Reward for completion: Spiritual Power +1)]
