Chapter 790 - 24: Tonight Liu Su Will Rise to Power
Night.
Cyan Lotus Mountain, back mountain, Lotus pond.
The originally ruined lotus pond has now been newly restored, with lotuses replanted inside. However, it’s not yet the season, so there’s only a pool of clear water.
Next to the lotus pond used to be a small cabin, which has now been transformed into a large mansion.
The words in front of the courtyard door read—Qinlian Garden.
At this moment, Liu Su is standing with her hands on her hips at the entrance of the mansion, looking up at the three large characters brimming with spiritual energy.
"Haha, this name echoes Qinhe Garden. The master and mistress sure know how to show their affection."
"Susu, come in!"
A cool, urging voice sounded inside, "Coming!" Liu Su replied and ran into the courtyard.
Entering the mansion reveals a garden filled with various flowers and plants, identical to those in Qinhe Garden.
Liu Su let out a sigh, squatted in front of these plants, rested her chin in her hands, and couldn’t help but reminisce about the times in Yunling Town.
Back then, it was just her, the mistress, and the master, living in that small two-bedroom house in Narrow Rain Lane.
The master and mistress lived in the large bedroom, while she stayed in the adjacent Alchemy Room.
During the day, she had to use her Mist Spirit Eye to aid the master in cultivation, and at night, she had to help master with alchemy.
Each day, she served the master for a full twelve hours, and after finishing the elixirs at night, the master would head next door to spend time with the mistress, leaving her to sleep alone in the Alchemy Room.
Sometimes, when she was really bored, she would sneak out to eavesdrop outside the master and mistress’s bedroom.
Oh, those were truly pitiful times!
Ah, wait, I’m still just eavesdropping now, and if caught, the mistress will hit me.
Wuwuwu, when will I, Liu Su, ever rise up?
"Susu!"
While Liu Su was sighing to the sky, the cool voice urged her again; she dared not delay further and quickly ran into the courtyard.
Earlier today, Qin Gengyun blocked Chen Qingmo’s sword despite it being just a distant incarnation, not his actual presence, yet Qin Gengyun still got injured.
But today was the opening ceremony for the Qinlian Sect, recruiting many new disciples, with endless trivialities throughout the day, making him only have time now for Liu Su to come over and heal him.
Liu Su passed through layers of courtyards, running toward the main building where Xia Qinglian and Qin Gengyun resided, then began scheming.
Tonight, I’ll be the one to heal the master, and since the mistress is pregnant and can’t share the bed with the master, isn’t tonight the best chance for me?
Oh my, when those courtesans in Yihong House talked about how delightful those things are, I never experienced them.
If I seize the chance tonight, this lady must indulge!
Once I’m in position, even if Xiaolan gets taken by the master, she’ll have to call me sister.
Wahahaha!
Liu Su laughed wildly inside and dashed into the main house, only to see Xia Qinglian being held in Qin Gengyun’s arms, her lips sealed tightly, cheeks flushed red.
Liu Su immediately covered her eyes with her hand:
"I didn’t see anything, didn’t see anything!"
While declaring innocence, she separated her fingers slightly, eyes peeking out through the gaps.
By then, Qin Gengyun and Xia Qinglian had already separated. Xia Qinglian’s cheeks were red; she patted Qin Gengyun reproachfully, and glared coldly at Liu Su:
"Susu, you’re getting more and more brazen."
Haha, mistress, wait till I become the second wife, and I’ll be even more unrestrained.
Liu Su chuckled inwardly but put on a frightened look:
"Sorry, mistress, I didn’t expect you two would still squeeze out a little time as I was about to come in, argh!"
Liu Su got smacked on the head from afar with spiritual power by Xia Qinglian, and she pouted, appearing aggrieved.
"Stop pretending, hurry up and heal Gengyun!"
Xia Qinglian glanced at her, got off the bed, and walked to sit aside.
Liu Su’s eyes widened: "Mistress, are you letting me get on the bed?"
Oh my, the mistress actually left the battlefield to me; surely, there are still many fresh traces on it?
Xia Qinglian ignored her, elegantly poured a cup of tea, while Qin Gengyun got off the bed, sat cross-legged on the ground, and said to Liu Su:
"Susu, let’s begin."
"On the ground?" Liu Su was a bit disappointed.
"Hurry up, we need to set out tomorrow."
Xia Qinglian urged.
Liu Su was taken aback and quickly asked: "Mistress, where are you going?"
Xia Qinglian said: "Northern Wilderness, Cyan Lotus Sect’s Relic."
Liu Su asked in confusion: "What are you going there for? The Qinlian Sect has just been established, what happens if both of you leave?"
Qin Gengyun replied, "There are too many doubts about Chen Qingmo. Some answers might lie within the Cyan Lotus Sect’s relic. We need to visit it before heading to the Immortal Flying Pavilion to resolve any issues regarding Chen Qingmo, eliminating future concerns."
"I want to go with you!"
Liu Su immediately said.
Xia Qinglian said: "First, heal him properly before discussing."
"Oh..."
Liu Su muttered, and those earlier mischievous thoughts dared not surface again. She used her Mist Spirit Eye while muttering softly:
"Mistress is really cunning."
Liu Su quickly began healing Qin Gengyun, while Xia Qinglian also sat cross-legged on the side and cultivated on her own.
Her injuries have largely healed with Qin Gengyun’s treatment over this period.
However, now that she’s over three months pregnant, her spiritual power is constantly absorbed by the child, leaving only seventy percent remaining.
Hence, she’s eager to visit the Cyan Lotus Sect’s relic to uncover the secrets behind the suspected Residual Soul of Zhenyang.
If that soul is indeed connected to Chen Qingmo, it might help in eliminating Chen Qingmo. With that, Qin Gengyun and the two others could ascend to the Immortal Flying Pavilion without worries, and she could peacefully nurse her pregnancy.
After four hours.
Liu Su withdrew her Mist Spirit Eye, clapped her small hands: "Done!"
Qin Gengyun opened his eyes: "Susu, thank you."
His advantage lies in his high Body Cultivator Realm, with his body’s sturdiness vastly exceeding others at the same level. Utilising Moon-breaking’s extreme power, combined with unlimited spiritual power from Yun Wu, allowed him to withstand Chen Qingmo’s sword without severe injury.
Now, Liu Su’s Mist Spirit Eye has achieved great success, making healing such wounds relatively effortless.
"Hehe, why does Master act so distant with me?"
Liu Su glanced outside: "Oh my, it’s almost dawn, I’m too lazy to go back. Let me sleep with you guys, huh!"
Before finishing her sentence, Liu Su was already thrown out.
The door slammed shut, and the Everlasting Lamp inside went out.
Liu Su was crestfallen: "Use once and discard, Mistress, you’re too much!"
"Make more noise, and you won’t be allowed to go tomorrow."
Summer Qinglian’s voice came from inside, prompting Liu Su to quickly cover her mouth.
The three of us heading to the Northern Wilderness, with such a long journey, I’ll have plenty of opportunities, hehehe.
As Liu Su was scheming inwardly, two voices sounded outside:
"Sister Xia, Brother Qin, I want to go too; I wish to return and pay respects to my parents."
Yun Wu spoke outside.
"I am going to Cloud Bamboo Mountain to face justice."
Followed by Wei Wan.
The room remained silent momentarily before Xia Qinglian said: "We’ll depart at 7 a.m."
"Thank you, Sister Xia."
"Much appreciated."
Liu Su: "..."
Inside the room.
Qin Gengyun’s Sound Transmission Talisman lit up; he looked at it and then said to Xia Qinglian:
"Si Minglan says... that Luo Xiaohong has already arrived at West Imperial City."
