Chapter 23: You Don’t Seem So Simple?
***
At this moment, Lin Muyu and Su Wanqing were staring at each other in somewhat awkward silence.
After Su Wanqing had fully regained consciousness, she seemed to understand the current situation, but she didn’t get angry as Lin Muyu had expected.
Instead, after giving Lin Muyu a meaningful look, she pressed her pale lips together, obediently turned her head to the side, and quietly closed her eyes, adopting a posture of complete submission.
At this moment, she was extremely well-behaved, seemingly openly giving Lin Muyu an opportunity.
Since Su Wanqing was giving her such an opportunity, Lin Muyu should take it… like hell she would!
If she went ahead with it, how would she be any different from Su Wanqing? She would never be like that guy Su Wanqing, completely disregarding other people’s feelings and doing such things to others!
Although she didn’t want to accept Su Wanqing’s opportunity, she still wanted to give Su Wanqing a small punishment.
During the process of helping Su Wanqing try on clothes, Lin Muyu deliberately made her movements rougher, especially when touching those soft white objects, squeezing them hard.
After all, this guy hadn’t shown any mercy to her own things either.
Listening to Su Wanqing’s soft moans, Lin Muyu felt unexpectedly pleased. After all, it was always Su Wanqing bullying her, and now it was finally her turn to bully Su Wanqing.
After putting the undergarment on Su Wanqing, she stood up and asked:
“How does it feel?”
Su Wanqing opened her eyes somewhat bewildered, staring at Lin Muyu with a puzzled expression, as if asking:
“That’s it? Why didn’t you make a move?”
Seeing Su Wanqing’s expression and understanding her meaning, Lin Muyu immediately frowned and scolded angrily:
“I would never learn from you, completely disregarding other people’s feelings and rashly doing such things!”
Hearing Lin Muyu’s words, Su Wanqing’s brow furrowed even deeper, and her face showed clear guilt.
Seeing Su Wanqing’s remorseful expression, the anger in Lin Muyu’s heart gradually calmed down:
“At least you have a conscience.”
She actually didn’t dislike Su Wanqing, but rather admired her character, because she felt guilt when she did something wrong.
You have to know that in this cultivation world where strength is respected, the strong can make the weak do anything. Su Wanqing could have completely forced her to do anything, and when dealing with an ordinary person, there was no need for sympathy at all.
But she didn’t do that.
“Alright, stop feeling guilty. Let’s consider yesterday’s incident as repaying some favor… but you must promise not to act so presumptuous again!”
Lin Muyu gently comforted Su Wanqing. In her eyes, Su Wanqing wasn’t really a child, because Su Wanqing’s rash actions didn’t seem to be her true intention.
However, thinking was one thing, but Lin Muyu still had lingering fears about last night’s events. Even though the treatment from that drop of golden blood had diluted the psychological impact, it still left a shadow in Lin Muyu’s heart.
Su Wanqing’s madness last night far exceeded the previous two times, and Lin Muyu truly felt the threat of death.
She could even see her great-grandmother waving at her from the other side…
Perhaps she shouldn’t have forgiven Su Wanqing so easily, but having been a teacher for two lifetimes, the young and sensible Su Wanqing really made it impossible for her to hold a grudge.
After hesitating slightly for a while, Su Wanqing finally agreed: “…I promise you.”
That slight hesitation from Su Wanqing immediately made Lin Muyu sense something ominous, feeling like there might be a next time?
But at least Su Wanqing had agreed, and since she temporarily had no way to leave her side, she could only trust Su Wanqing once.
“You better keep your word!” Lin Muyu crossed her arms and glared at Su Wanqing fiercely.
Seeing that this matter was finally settled, Lin Muyu also breathed a sigh of relief and quickly moved closer to Su Wanqing, quietly asking:
“How is it? Are the clothes I made comfortable?”
“Clothes?” Su Wanqing still had that dazed look of being confused about everything.
Lin Muyu pointed at Su Wanqing’s chest in exasperation:
“The clothes inside, of course. I have to say, why weren’t you wearing anything underneath?”
Su Wanqing finally came to her senses, and her pale face gradually showed a hint of blush. She indeed felt an unfamiliar sensation in front of her chest.
As for why she wasn’t wearing anything underneath, she had been brought to the sect by her master since childhood and had no one to guide her.
She had occasionally heard female disciples discussing this undergarment, but due to her aloof personality, she didn’t have any close friends, so no one had actually told her what to wear underneath.
She had actually asked Xinlian about this question, but to her surprise, her master didn’t wear anything either…
And she even told her:
“It doesn’t matter, you need to let them breathe more to help with development.”
At that time, still somewhat naive, she believed Xinlian’s nonsense.
Fortunately, due to the special material of the Daoist robe, her “great ambitions” weren’t exposed.
Now feeling the special protection around her chest, Su Wanqing felt not only a bit uncomfortable but also somewhat shy.
“Mm, it fits well, thank you…” Su Wanqing lowered her head, and her originally pale face showed a hint of shyness.
Hearing Su Wanqing’s thanks, Lin Muyu nodded satisfactorily, but suddenly remembered that she seemed to have forgotten something.
“Oh no, should I have gone to that class?” Her expression became somewhat frozen as she looked at the gradually setting sun outside the window, finally realizing that it was getting late.
When she woke up, it was already noon, and then Su Wanqing had fainted again, which resulted in Lin Muyu skipping class on her very first day…
But in her previous life, whether as a student or a teacher, she had never skipped class!
“Don’t worry.” Su Wanqing calmly comforted her. “I know what the first class will teach. I can teach you instead. As for today’s matter, I’ll go explain to Senior Sister Susu tomorrow.”
“Senior Sister Susu?” Lin Muyu seemed to have never heard of this person.
“Yes, your first month of classes will be taught by Senior Sister Susu. Don’t worry, Senior Sister Susu is very nice.”
Su Wanqing’s calm words gradually put Lin Muyu at ease.
“By the way, are you okay? Why did you faint earlier?”
After putting her worries to rest, Lin Muyu noticed that Su Wanqing’s face was still so pale, so she asked with some concern.
“No…” Just as Su Wanqing was about to brush it off, she was surprised to discover that after using a drop of her life essence blood, she should have dropped to the late Foundation Establishment stage.
But at this moment, she not only hadn’t lost any cultivation, but had actually reached the threshold of the Golden Core stage.
If she wanted to, she could immediately advance to the Golden Core stage after recuperating her body…
You have to know, she had just turned 18 this year!
And only cultivators who reached the Golden Core stage could be considered to have a place in the cultivation world.
A Golden Core cultivator under 20 years old would probably shock the entire cultivation world.
You know, according to records, only the founding sect master of Qinglan Sect had ever achieved this…
Just a few days ago, she had just advanced to the late Foundation Establishment stage, and the Golden Core stage seemed infinitely far away.
Within just 2-3 days, she was now only one step away from the Golden Core stage. She wouldn’t dare to dream such dreams even in her sleep.
You have to know, advancing from Qi Refining to Foundation Establishment had an 80-90% success rate due to the help of Foundation Establishment pills.
But only 1 in 10 Foundation Establishment disciples could truly achieve the Golden Core and become a backbone of Qinglan Sect!
And the cause of all these changes… was the lovely girl Lin Muyu standing before her.
“You… don’t seem so simple…”
