Fairy, Don't Be Afraid, I Am Blind

"Not exactly the operator, merely a partner."

"Mr. You, no need to be humble. Mr. Bihua, that busty but brainless woman, couldn't have thought of these methods."

Mr. Qianhua glanced at You Su, who was sitting upright, with a look of interest.

He certainly had experience with the bustiness, recalling vividly that Heart-to-Heart Skill, but he couldn't agree with the brainless part:

"Mr. Qianhua's words are too harsh. Mr. Bihua is close to the natural way, her temperament and actions have the truth of simplicity and innocence, her lack of savvy in the business world is normal, and cannot be simplistically concluded as brainless."

His words made Mr. Qianhua chuckle lightly: "Mr. You's knowledge and cultivation are indeed excellent. To manage to make the word 'brainless' sound so refreshingly refined, it's no wonder his pen is sharp enough to write a story that could turn the tide."

You Su was secretly shocked that his story hadn't been signed, and no one outside Bihua Pavilion knew he wrote it.

How did Mr. Qianhua know? Could there be an insider?

"Mr. Qianhua might be mistaken. That story wasn't written by me."

"It seems it was indeed written by you." Mr. Qianhua pushed his glasses, his gaze wise as if seeing through everything, "No need for suspicion, there are no insiders in Bihua Pavilion; to deal with Bihua Pavilion, I wouldn't resort to such vile methods."

You Su, his thoughts revealed, was somewhat speechless, implicitly acknowledging it and soon actively changed the topic:

"What exactly did Mr. Qianhua invite me for? And where is my senior sister?"

"Mr. You, please be patient. Fairy Wangshu knows you are here and is bathing and changing clothes," Mr. Qianhua's mouth slightly curved, and a fragrant tea flew into You Su's hand, "Before she arrives, we can talk about Bihua Pavilion."

"What does Mr. Qianhua want to discuss?"

You Su took a small sip, appearing calm while internally astonished.

His senior sister, possessing a Pure Heart and being a Feather Transformation Cultivator, naturally remains unstained.

Since going up the mountain to apprentice with Master, he has never seen his senior sister need to bathe, which proves this point!

Therefore, either Mr. Qianhua is lying, or his senior sister has a problem!

"Your first encounter with silk stockings should have been when your junior and senior sisters passed through Brocade City and bought them. This is documented by Qianhua Pavilion. That led Mr. Bihua to want to establish Bihua Pavilion. Does Mr. You think this is plagiarism?"

"Plagiarism is not quite right, at most it is borrowing, inspired by seeing Mr. Qianhua's work."

"Inspiration?" Mr. Qianhua shook his head, continuing, "I took a close look at the craftsmanship of the stockings; Bihua Pavilion and Qianhua Pavilion have almost no differences, would this be considered borrowing?"

You Su knew he was somewhat at fault regarding this matter, but he had asked the women of Bihua Peak beforehand; the craft itself was not complex; the difficulty was in careful thinning, Bihua Pavilion wanting exclusivity seemed somewhat domineering.

"I discovered first that cooked rice can be eaten, should others not be allowed to cook rice?" Mr. Qianhua should understand this point."

"A clever argument. I polished this idea for years, only for you to learn it in a day to steal my livelihood, should I applaud you?"

"Let me give Mr. Qianhua another example. Your rice is expensive, many can't afford it. Our rice is cheap and fills the stomach like yours, many can have a full meal. Therefore, we are not stealing your livelihood; we merely aim to let the people eat."

When stating this, You Su was respectful and just.

Mr. Qianhua sneered, unwilling to debate further with You Su:

"Tell me, what benefits did the Third Elder give you?"

"No benefits, just the desire to earn money with the Third Elder."

"That's all?"

Mr. Qianhua was slightly surprised, then thought of Mr. Bihua's dislike for men and suddenly understood:

"But you should know, if Qianhua Pavilion fully suppresses Bihua Pavilion, Bihua Pavilion may face dire prospects."

You Su looked directly at the distinguished lady in front of him, "What does Mr. Qianhua wish to say clearly?"

"Join my Qianhua Pavilion, I'll give you ten times the money you have in Bihua Pavilion."

Mr. Qianhua crossed her arms, boosting her chest haughtily.

She continued to regard You Su with calm confidence.

"This is a considerable amount, safer than what that woman promised you, you can do many things with this ongoing vast fortune..."

Mr. Qianhua's gentle whispers seemingly echoed in the ear, tempting the spirit.

"You Su hasn't finished, money is merely part of why I assist Bihua Pavilion, the Third Elder is a respected elder, helping her is a duty. No sum Mr. Qianhua offers can buy You Su's loyalty."

Faced with one using coercion through his senior sister to lure him to this gathering, You Su left no room for cooperation.

"I can see the Third Elder seems to value you. Before, when she was friends with me, she used to say every man under the sky should die. Now, she relies on a man to handle me; it's amusing."

Mr. Qianhua seemed to murmur to herself, "You should know, my Qianhua Pavilion does not hinge on you. I offer you this chance due to enormous appreciation. Do you confidently believe you can lead Bihua Pavilion to victory against me?"

"Youngster never thought of beating Mr. Qianhua, merely wishes everyone can have a meal."

Opponent's arrogance made it difficult for You Su to bow; even the Third Elder's final establishment motive shifted from mere spite to welfare for female cultivators nationwide.

Mr. Qianhua rhythmically tapped her jade fingers on the table, "But your senior sister plans to become Qianhua Pavilion's spokesperson in the future, do you intend... to oppose your senior sister?"

You Su's brows furrowed, "Senior sister would never decide such a thing, what have you done?"

Mr. Qianhua stood up, looked at the screen behind, showing a mystic expression, murmuring:

"I told you, my dream is to create a perfect dress..."

"A woman will have countless dresses in her life, but only one dress matters, and that is..."

"Face!"
