Chapter 556 - 274: The Confrontation of Two Venerables (Part 2)
If the roles were reversed, perhaps she would have acted even more extreme.
Seeing the young man not intending to completely destroy everything of hers, she felt a strange sense of disappointment.
For a moment, she couldn’t tell if this young man was too compassionate, or if You Su was more cunning than she thought – he didn’t want to destroy everything of hers; he wanted her to fully submit, and then take away everything from her.
With all kinds of intense and thrilling pains still lingering on her body, she actually hoped it was the second possibility. Otherwise, opposing a soft-hearted person would be too boring.
At this moment, Wangshu was in a coma.
Last night, after she removed the Thousand-Faced Spot, she fainted on her own, and the high spirits she had were gone, likely exhausted.
Thanks to this, You Su dared to let loose in the latter half of the night, not worrying about his senior sister being misled.
You Su also saw that empty face and finally understood why his senior sister was so eager to have a face.
But he didn’t mind; instead, he helped his senior sister put on the real Jade Rabbit Mask.
Because he, like his senior sister, was an odd existence, he increasingly felt that he and his senior sister were a match made in heaven, no wonder they unconsciously attracted each other.
"Kill it?"
You Su held up the Thousand-Faced Spot, which had turned into a candle, and asked Mr. Bihua.
"How did you recognize it?" Mr. Bihua was a bit surprised; even she hadn’t dared to determine the location of the Thousand-Faced Spot.
"Because all the red candles were used by you last night, and this candle was still half-remaining, it was easy to guess."
Mr. Bihua was momentarily stunned, knowing what "used by her" meant.
She suppressed her inner shame and anger, yet had to admit You Su’s keen observation.
"Kill it, I don’t want to be linked with any demonic influences at all."
She glanced at You Su, then turned her head, seemingly implying something.
You Su raised his sword and struck without hesitation.
The abilities of the Thousand-Faced Spot were so magical that he almost looked forward to what kind of enhancement killing it would bring him.
"Let her approach, you all back off, no need to worry."
Mr. Bihua’s expression was somewhat impatient, as if she was transmitting a message to someone.
Outside the top floor of the Qianhua Pavilion, over a hundred feet high, the Third Elder broke through the blockade of several Qianhua Pavilion Feather Transformation cultivators in anger, and in an instant, flew to the window of Mr. Bihua’s boudoir.
"Where is she?!"
The Third Elder’s voice was very low, as if there was a blazing fury beneath that had yet to erupt.
Mr. Bihua continued to meet the eyes of the beautiful woman in the green cheongsam across the window, their gaze constantly clashing, creating a suppressive atmosphere where no one dared to make a sound.
"What does Mr. Bihua want at my Qianhua Pavilion?"
Mr. Bihua pushed her glasses, smiling knowingly.
As her private room, this room naturally had the top-level shielding array installed, even the Third Elder’s divine sense couldn’t intrude and snoop.
"Third Elder! Why are you here?"
You Su quickly ran to the window, appearing within the Third Elder’s sight.
The Third Elder’s tightly knitted brows finally relaxed a bit, seeing that You Su was unharmed, she breathed a sigh of relief:
"Are you okay?"
You Su shook his head somewhat inexplicably, "I’m fine."
The Third Elder carefully observed You Su’s exposed skin, not seeing the miserable state that the painting cultivator friend described, but that friend had no reason to deceive or tease her...
She suddenly found the blind spot of the issue:
"What are you doing in this woman’s room?!"
Though the question was directed at You Su, her eyes glared at the proudly arrogant Mr. Bihua.
Of course, the Third Elder knew that this room was the top floor of the Qianhua Pavilion, also Mr. Bihua’s exclusive room, where even Mr. Bihua’s closest confidants could not enter casually, yet why was You Su here?
"What do you think?"
Mr. Bihua casually replied, her arms crossed, along with the beauty mole at the corner of her lips, made her look elegant and composed, in sharp contrast to the anxious and discomposed Third Elder.
The Third Elder was even more angered seeing her stance, could it be that You Su was really as the friend had speculated...
But this child was clearly her strategist, the only man she recognized and yet this wicked woman...
"You should never, never! Make a move on a junior!"
The Third Elder was ablaze with anger, and as her words fell, another crackling sound echoed throughout the room, similar to the one that rang throughout the previous night.
Venerable Qianhua instinctively tensed up her body, but saw that the Third Elder had already taken out a whip emitting a green glow from his hand, which was the renowned weapon of Venerable Bihua—the Cui Divine Whip.
This whip is said to be made from the roots of the Fusang Divine Tree of the East Japan Continent, extremely resilient; and due to being bathed in the first rays of the rising sun over the years, even though it’s made of grass roots, it can scorch its victims as if burned by fire. It’s said that wounds caused by the Cui Divine Whip are difficult to heal even with the most advanced elixirs, taking ten years to recover.
"What do you mean by that? I don’t understand."
Venerable Qianhua was not afraid of this fat woman, teasingly licking her lips. This was a highly provocative gesture, entirely naked provocation in the eyes of the Third Elder.
"What’s your problem, why don’t you dare to confront me directly! Are you afraid?"
"Why would I be afraid?! You agreed to stay out of each other’s way, but suddenly you storm into my Qianhua Pavilion going crazy!"
The Third Elder, hearing these words, raised her eyebrows in fury, preparing to swing the whip towards the building of Qianhua Pavilion, determined to break the tallest building in Brocade City.
Venerable Qianhua was waiting for this opportunity to strike, her ribbons fluttering behind her, eager to move.
She had already planned everything in her heart; all of the events in the past two days had started because of this fat woman. It could be said that it was Venerable Bihua’s attempt at revenge that landed her in this situation.
Her grievance finally found an outlet to vent, and she had decided to first give this fat woman a beating and then use the excuse of Venerable Bihua causing a scene on her territory to render her speechless, swallowing her resentment.
"Stop!"
You Su immediately guessed Venerable Qianhua’s intention, knowing that last night’s matter was to be kept secret within. Thus, the Third Elder lacked a legitimate reason to took action, and he certainly couldn’t watch the Third Elder, who came to save him, fall into an unjust position.
Venerable Qianhua’s growing momentum halted suddenly, she glared at You Su resentfully, then huffed coldly.
The Third Elder had been ready to confront Venerable Qianhua, but seeing the evil woman suddenly back down, she also stopped her brewing attack, not understanding why.
"Third Elder, I’m fine, I have my reasons for being here!"
You Su anxiously explained, though it would have been somewhat satisfying to see two Void Realm Venerables fighting over him, he didn’t want the situation to become more dire.
"For what reason? Did she threaten you with Bihua Pavilion?!"
The Third Elder’s chest heaved violently, displaying the immense hatred in her heart.
"Ah? No, no, I’m here to assist Senior Disciple Sister in exorcising evil."
"Exorcising evil?"
The Third Elder’s expression froze, "Where’s Wangshu?"
"Senior Disciple Sister is inside too, but she’s unconscious right now."
You Su stepped aside, revealing the Fairy Wangshu behind the curtain.
"Unconscious?"
The Third Elder, like a startled bird, was about to fly in through the window at once.
Venerable Qianhua blocked it with Qi Movement, shouting, "What are you doing? Trying to force your way into my Qianhua Pavilion?"
Seeing that another conflict was about to erupt, You Su silently cursed, thinking he should not have removed the bird bell from Venerable Qianhua!
"Venerable Qianhua, the Third Elder has no ill intentions, and Senior Disciple Sister is unconscious, right now she can check on her, please let her come in."
You Su sincerely pleaded, and Venerable Qianhua turned away, glaring at You Su, then angrily withdrew and said:
"This is for Mr. You and Fairy Wangshu’s sake, otherwise you would never set foot here again in your lifetime!"
The Third Elder wanted to curse back at Venerable Qianhua, but she was really worried about the unconscious Wangshu, so she instantly moved to her side.
On the ground lay indeed a strange spotty fish, clearly colored in seven colors yet appeared dirty.
The Third Elder, an old member of the Exorcism Bureau, had never seen such an evil spirit either.
She didn’t have time to care about it, first checking the intact mask of the young girl, then quickly started examining the girl’s injuries.
Meanwhile, behind the curtain, You Su quietly approached Venerable Qianhua.
Venerable Qianhua, seeing the cold look in You Su’s eyes, instinctively stepped back half a step.
"What do you want to do?"
Her voice was somewhat wary, sending the sound directly into You Su’s ear.
"Venerable Qianhua, is this your lost necklace? I saw you wearing it before."
You Su smiled as he took out the bird bell from his bosom, which was still vibrating slightly.
After saying that, You Su mouthed two words silently...
Venerable Qianhua understood those two words and knew that her repeated provocations towards Venerable Bihua had angered the young man, prompting him to want her to behave.
But in front of this woman, how could...
Venerable Qianhua’s black silk-clad jade feet were tightly together, chuckling wryly:
"Thank you..."
