Qin Yu was stunned, looking at Su Xihe with confusion.
Although everything seed fine, he still felt that his master today was a bit peculiar.
He glanced at the herbs Su Xihe took out.
There were actually as many as three portions!
Even though his speed in concocting elixirs had greatly improved, it would still take about three hours.
By then, it would already be deep into the night.
"Master, how about I make six elixirs tomorrow?"
Qin Yu asked tentatively.
For the first ti, he felt like he was running out of ti.
He couldn’t favor one over the other, right?
"Do today’s work today, or are you planning not to cultivate tomorrow?"
The Sect Leader’s gaze shot directly over.
"Uh..."
"What? You don’t even want to obey your master now?!"
Seeing Qin Yu hesitating, Su Xihe imdiately beca furious.
Bullied her sister every night, and he had the nerve to hesitate?
At this mont, the Sect Leader seed like a strict parent, sparing no effort to prevent the younger generation from going astray and wasting their cultivation journey.
She even felt a pang of disappointnt in her chest.
Why was she doing this?
She just wanted her disciple and sister to focus on the right path and not waste ti.
Thinking they completely misunderstood her intentions, Su Xihe felt a twinge of pain.
"I wouldn’t dare."
Qin Yu didn’t dare to refuse. Although he didn’t know what was up with his master today, being able to spend more ti with the Sect Leader was a rare blessing.
It wasn’t until the moon hung high and stars twinkled that Qin Yu finished turning those three portions of herbs into elixirs.
With Su Xihe’s permission, Qin Yu almost flew away in a hurry, making Su Xihe feel a bit helpless at his impatience.
However, when she picked up the elixirs Qin Yu made, a trace of emotion flickered in her eyes.
Compared to the initial ’lumps,’ the elixirs Qin Yu crafted now were starting to take shape. Though not perfectly round, they could already be called elixirs.
His progress was incredibly impressive!
This was with only practicing once a day for such a short ti, yet it already equaled her years of effort back then.
If given a little more ti, he might soon excel in the path of alchemy.
Su Xihe couldn’t help but marvel once more.
This guy is simply a prodigy.
After storing the elixirs, she left the Alchemy Room and, on her way to her residence, glanced subconsciously at the Saintess Cave Mansion.
It was so late; her sister shouldn’t be going out, right?
She was initially planning to check over there, but reconsidered, knowing Leng Ruyu was present, and dismissed the idea.
Family affairs shouldn’t be aired publicly.
However, as the older sister, she reluctantly took up the chore of keeping watch again.
Annoying.
Even leaving her with no ti to enjoy any storybooks.
Compared to the difficulties of the Sect Leader, the real hardship might be on... the little demoness Leng Ruyu.
Initially, Leng Ruyu thought that one night was just an accident, simply the First Fairy going to handle so matters, but who would have thought... Every day since, Su Xiyue would nearly go out at the sa ti.
Does the Cyan Mountain Sect have so many issues requiring their Saintess to handle nocturnally?!
Leng Ruyu even sent a ssage to her father to inquire about the situation in the Yunlan Domain, but there were no reports of the Hundred Sword Sect retaliating.
Morning.
She prepared to have a conversation with Su Xiyue, to ease the tensions between them.
"Sister Xiyue."
Seeing Su Xiyue return from outside, Leng Ruyu approached her.
With a hint of frailty from the black qi’s corrosion, her eyes nonetheless glead when seeing Su Xiyue.
She even handed Su Xiyue the Jade Thread.
Su Xiyue rely gave her a cold glance, hesitated a mont, and still accepted the Jade Thread.
Without a word, she walked toward her residence.
"Sister Xiyue."
Leng Ruyu called again, and after Su Xiyue paused, said in a bitter voice, "My sister knows it’s shaful to ask for forgiveness, only hoping that sister can give a chance to atone."
Such words were so humble.
Leng Ruyu was the Demon Sect’s elder sister in na, her status and position no less than Su Xiyue’s.
Yet hearing this, Su Xiyue’s brow furrowed gently.
If outsiders heard this, wouldn’t they think she was bullying her?!
Is she trying to play tricks again?
Su Xiyue looked at her coldly, "What do you intend to do?"
"Hmm?"
Leng Ruyu was taken aback.
Why does Sister Xiyue’s voice sound...?
Moreover, her steps seed unnatural when she was walking, and her expression was rather weary.
So what exactly did she do during the night?!
Leng Ruyu set those thoughts aside and, instead, said pitifully, "What is sister saying? My life is now tied to yours, hoping only to make ands for my past mistakes."
Su Xiyue glanced at her pale face and felt a bit fortunate.
If not for encountering Qin Yu, her situation might be worse than Leng Ruyu’s condition at the mont.
If that were the case, perhaps now it would be her own sister Su Xihe running around seeking help.
Leng Ruyu’s situation was indeed difficult to handle.
Though the Demon Sect’s leader had sent ample resources, Leng Ruyu’s situation showed no signs of improvent.
Thinking from their perspective, wouldn’t they suspect trickery from the Demon Sect?
If one becos desperate, extre actions might be inevitable.
But.
The black qi could only be eradicated by a warm current, which only ca from intimate contact with Qin Yu.
What was one to do?
Leaving aside whether Su Xiyue was willing, Qin Yu wasn’t her possession; how could she make such a decision on his behalf?
During her internal conflict, Leng Ruyu rambled non-stop.
She started with all kinds of remorse over past misdeeds; whether heartfelt or not, it did ease much of Su Xiyue’s animosity towards her.
"As long as Sister Xiyue is willing to let go of past grudges and forgive her sister, you can do... whatever you want with ."
However, Leng Ruyu’s last words, along with the strange gleam in her eyes, caused Su Xiyue to snort coldly.
Indeed!
Still the demoness she was!
"Bang!"
The door slamd shut, but the surprise and shock on her face didn’t escape Leng Ruyu’s notice.
Since that day, Leng Ruyu would occasionally seek out Su Xiyue to converse, trying to ease their relationship.
Particularly at night, once she loosened the Jade Thread, Leng Ruyu would appear.
Since it might involve secrets of the Cyan Mountain Sect, Leng Ruyu hadn’t asked to accompany her, but... over ti, she couldn’t help but notice sothing.
Should she resolve this once and for all?
This was a dilemma.
Ti flew by, and before they knew it, the two-month deadline was upon them.
