Fairy, Don't Be Afraid, I Am Blind

The Third Elder was far more concerned about You Su than he had imagined.

It wasn’t because the Third Elder cared deeply for You Su, but because she received a request from the Chief Elder to keep a close eye on You Su in the coming period.

The reason was inevitably linked to that island.

Not long ago, while the Third Elder was watering her newly cultivated mimosas, she suddenly received a message from a disciple saying that You Su had left the sect and was heading straight to Henggao City.

Initially, she didn’t pay much attention until she heard that You Su had entered Anning Building, at which point her expression turned serious and she rushed over.

The information about True Immortal Zhengyang was temporarily concealed, but there are no walls in the world without cracks, especially not when it involves a hurricane as turbulent as the Celestial Awakening Realm.

The reason the Chief Elder entrusted her with watching over You Su is also for this reason. Surely, many in the Void Realm are aware of the information and will approach those they deem most likely to inherit the legacy of True Immortal Zhengyang, and You Su is clearly one of them.

These people are a mixed bunch, each harboring their own agenda, and the Chief Elder does not want You Su to have any contact with them.

Initially, the Third Elder felt that the Chief Elder was overprotective of You Su. Though this child was indeed outstanding, his true strengths were unknown to outsiders.

Especially after You Su achieved victory in the entry-level battle, he had no notable exploits, and he was extremely low-key, not even interested in participating in sect competitions. In fact, outsiders merely saw You Su as a prodigy with exceptional sword skills and a decent cultivation speed. In the face of rumors about his betrothal to Zhongyuan Continent’s top prodigy, Fairy Wangshu, most people assumed it was due to his status as a junior disciple that he managed to marry up.

Moreover, according to Venerable Zhengyang’s disciple criteria, You Su was not particularly dazzling.

Indeed, for more than half a month following the island’s appearance, no one came seeking You Su.

So who invited You Su to Anning Building today?

"Mr. Bihua, the owner says you’re disturbing our esteemed guest."

With a remarkably charming smile, the maid offered an apologetic gesture towards the distinguished fairy urging at the door of Piaoxiang Pavilion.

"My disciple is inside; how can it be called a disturbance when I come looking for him?"

The Third Elder knocked and called out, "You Su, open the door, I know you’re in there!"

"Mr. Bihua, the owner hopes you can show some respect. Your persistent knocking has already created a very unpleasant experience for our guest."

The maid’s smile remained unchanged. Though a mortal, she showed no fear in the face of a Void Realm Venerable who could crush her more easily than an ant.

The Third Elder was secretly startled, thinking to herself that the owner must have given her the confidence to face such a powerful figure.

"Who booked this room? Is You Su inside?"

"I’m sorry, Mr. Bihua, that is the guest’s privacy; I cannot disclose it," the maid offered another apologetic gesture.

"Such secrecy. If not, let your owner come out and stop me personally."

With impatience, the Third Elder knocked on the door again, "I suspect my disciple has been lured here and forced into some improper acts. I must enter to save him, do you understand?"

The maid remained expressionless, clearly accustomed to such undertakings. Many dignitaries preferred to conduct their shady dealings in the sealed confines of this teahouse, a well-known secret of Anning Building.

"Please show some decorum, Mr. Bihua."

The maid clasped her hands, her tone slightly menacing.

The Third Elder furrowed her brows, her presence overwhelming, yet the maid seemed protected by something, her fine hair unmoved.

While the Third Elder engaged in a silent duel with the owner’s support behind the maid, the door to Piaoxiang Pavilion suddenly opened.

"A Venerable bullying others, truly as shameless as a boorish village woman. Quit embarrassing yourself outside, come in."

A cold, mocking voice drifted from behind the hanging curtains in the room.

The Third Elder’s beautiful eyes widened; she was all too familiar with that venomous woman’s voice!

She immediately guessed that You Su must be inside!

What she had spouted just now could not really be true, could it?!

The Third Elder hesitated no more, stepping straight into the room, and the door closed on its own the moment she entered.

The Third Elder steeled her mind, hoping not to witness anything inappropriate.

She lifted the curtains and saw You Su indeed there; she silently breathed a sigh of relief, yet her face was full of reproach.

"Third Elder, why are you here?"

You Su asked in surprise, sitting honestly beside the tea table, now covered with an additional cloth.

The Third Elder merely glared at him, ignoring him entirely, instead, she turned and angrily said:

"Tao Erniu, didn’t succeed in poaching once, and still not giving up?!"

Venerable Qianhua, adjusting her gold-rimmed glasses, heard her common name being called out, shattering her originally calm and noble demeanor.

"Xie Zhizhu, are you out of your mind?! I’m not called Tao Erniu, I’m called Tao Sufen!"

"Oh, oh, names are given by parents, not changed at whim. What’s wrong with Erniu, such a down-to-earth name, afraid people might know the prestigious Venerable Qianhua’s real name is Tao Erniu?" The Third Elder was sharp-tongued.

"Do you think Xie ’Pig’ sounds elegant? Whoever named you clearly understood you’d grow into a pig-like fat woman, a name that suits you perfectly," Venerable Qianhua countered without mercy.

"You!" The Third Elder trembled with rage, her chest heaving. "Can’t even read, pronouncing ’Zhizhu’ as ’Pig’! Truly fitting your earthy name, Erniu with peasant-like clumsiness!"
