Chapter 24: Senior Sister, I Really Didn’t Mean It.
Luo Chuxue’s brows furrowed. A wave of divine sense swept over the area, but she found nothing.
At this moment, Su Lingxi was tightly covering her mouth, not daring to make a sound. Her night-faring clothes emitted a faint black light.
“How is it? This is a specially made night-faring outfit. It can block most divine senses.”
“I love you to death, Xiao Bai. These two hundred points were well spent.”
Luo Chuxue’s appearance at the Immaculate Pool was completely unexpected for Su Lingxi. The key was that Luo Chuxue’s location was a necessary path, impossible to bypass.
“My dear Senior Sister, why did you come here to bathe at night…” Su Lingxi wanted to cry but had no tears.
After retracting her divine sense, Luo Chuxue looked around warily. “It seems that my recent failure to break through to the Nascent Soul realm has made my consciousness a bit hazy.”
Su Lingxi was too embarrassed to continue watching. Since Luo Chuxue wasn’t leaving, she had no choice but to find another spot and wait. After all, this position was quite conspicuous.
When Luo Chuxue left, she would go and get the Immaculate Water.
Su Lingxi nervously and slowly moved backward. It was fine at first.
Suddenly, the sound of a breaking branch came from behind Su Lingxi.
Su Lingxi: “It’s over!”
In the pool, Luo Chuxue’s beautiful eyes snapped open. This time, she definitely hadn’t misheard.
In an instant, a pale blue robe covered the young woman’s snow-white skin, concealing her most forbidden splendor.
Su Lingxi couldn’t be bothered with anything else. All she wanted to do now was run.
She ran with all her might, but Luo Chuxue had no intention of giving her that chance.
Three long ice blades had already gathered in Luo Chuxue’s hand. “Go!”
The ice blades flew towards Su Lingxi at an extremely fast speed, blocking her path.
With Su Lingxi’s Foundation Establishment cultivation, it was impossible to defeat Luo Chuxue, who was a major realm higher than her.
She plopped down on the ground, awaiting Luo Chuxue’s judgment.
Luo Chuxue landed in front of Su Lingxi, her eyes cold as she scrutinized her. The next second, the mask on Su Lingxi’s face disappeared, revealing her extremely awkward smile.
Su Lingxi braced herself and said, “Senior Sister, I was just passing by, really.”
“How is it you… How did you get in!” Luo Chuxue asked sternly.
Su Lingxi had no choice but to feign ignorance. “I don’t know either. I actually… just wanted to take a look at the inner court, but I didn’t expect to get lost…”
“Impossible. There’s a barrier set up by Master herself here. You couldn’t have gotten in.”
Seeing that Luo Chuxue didn’t believe her, Su Lingxi could only lie, claiming that she had used some kind of spiritual artifact with spatial power.
“Where is the spiritual artifact?”
“It broke after piercing the barrier. Senior Sister, I just wanted to get a little Immaculate Water. I didn’t intentionally peek at you bathing.”
It would have been better if Su Lingxi hadn’t mentioned it. A blush stained Luo Chuxue’s cheeks.
Her pure and untainted body had actually been seen by a man. The little bit of goodwill she had developed for Su Lingxi vanished into thin air.
“Speak! What did you see?”
“I saw everything…” Su Lingxi replied weakly.
“I’m going to kill you…” An ice blade, several inches long, appeared in Luo Chuxue’s hand, pressed against Su Lingxi’s throat.
“Ah… Senior Sister, don’t… I won’t do it again.”
Su Lingxi was so scared she was about to cry, tears streaming down her face uncontrollably. In this situation, Su Lingxi couldn’t care less about her pride.
But Luo Chuxue’s character was still the same. She couldn’t bring herself to kill.
But she wouldn’t let Su Lingxi off so easily either.
“The Immaculate Water is a treasure of our sect. Let alone an outer court disciple like you, even I can only use it under very special circumstances.”
“I won’t take your life, but I must send you to the Law Enforcement Hall.”
Luo Chuxue put away her weapon and said coldly.
Su Lingxi: “Law Enforcement Hall?”
Xiao Yun had once said that the Law Enforcement Hall was the most terrifying place in the Snowfall Sect. Usually, only disciples who had committed a crime would be taken there.
It was said that once you entered the Law Enforcement Hall and the evidence was conclusive, you would be skinned alive even if you didn’t die.
“No… I don’t want to go to that kind of place… Senior Sister, you might as well kill me…”
Su Lingxi tried to use her tears to gain Luo Chuxue’s sympathy, but Luo Chuxue paid her no mind. With a flip of her palm, an invisible restraint bound Su Lingxi.
Seeing that words were useless, Su Lingxi’s mind raced, trying to see if she could stabilize Luo Chuxue first.
She looked at Luo Chuxue’s face, and a piece of knowledge she had learned in university surfaced in her mind.
“Senior Sister, Senior Sister, have you been experiencing great emotional fluctuations recently? And are they accompanied by fatigue and abdominal pain…”
Su Lingxi’s words stunned Luo Chuxue. She immediately stopped in her tracks because she did indeed have these symptoms, and they had been troubling her for a long time.
She had wanted to see a doctor when she went to the Glacial Snow Domain, but Lu Shui and Lu Zhen, those two pests, had been following her all the time.
So she had put the matter aside.
Cultivators were also human and could suffer from various illnesses. Some could be easily cured with the help of spiritual energy.
But for some difficult and complicated diseases, even spiritual energy was helpless.
“How did you know?” Luo Chuxue asked with a frown.
“I learned some folk medicine when I was young, so I can tell some illnesses at a glance.”
“In the Glacial Snow Domain, Senior Sister’s symptoms weren’t very obvious. Have they gotten worse recently?” Su Lingxi said with confidence.
Luo Chuxue nodded. “Since you know medicine, is there a way to cure it?”
“There is, Senior Sister. Please give me another chance. Let me atone for my mistake,” Su Lingxi looked at Luo Chuxue with a pleading tone.
“You have committed a great crime. Do you want me to cover for you?”
“I’m not making things difficult for Senior Sister. It’s just that only you and I know about this matter right now. I haven’t been discovered by anyone along the way.”
“If Senior Sister wants to take me to the Law Enforcement Hall, you can do so after I’ve cured your illness.”
Luo Chuxue was very tempted by Su Lingxi’s suggestion.
Just as Su Lingxi had said, she could just take her in after she was cured.
“You have a point, but I need to be sure!” Luo Chuxue sent her ice-type spiritual energy into Su Lingxi’s body, forming a mark.
“To prevent you from escaping, I’ve placed a mark on you. I’ll give you three days to prepare the medicine. At this time in three days, I’ll come to you for the medicine.”
“You are not to speak of today’s events to anyone, do you hear me?”
Hearing Luo Chuxue’s words, Su Lingxi nodded like a pecking chicken and repeatedly agreed.
“It’ll be easy for you to be discovered if you go back. I’ll send you down the mountain.”
“Hehe, thank you, Senior Sister.”
“And hurry up and forget what you saw. Otherwise, the consequences will be very serious!”
“I know, I know~”
