It was a new day again. You Su packed his gear and walked out of the sect, then sneaked back to check the array that concealed the evil energy.
Evil energy is a very subtle thing. According to evil texts, unless one learns those obscure and difficult Evil Detection Skills, even great cultivators in the Void Realm find it hard to detect them directly. So even assert that evil spirits are the filth shed by cultivators themselves, thus making them as indistinguishable as if they originate from the sa source as cultivators, often requiring external objects to detect the evil energy.
This saying has always existed but never gained much traction. The reason is obvious, even if its correctness was confird, not many cultivators would be willing to give up their chance for longevity. Moreover, the viewpoint indeed has several unreasonable aspects.
You Su dared not be late and hurried to the City Lord’s Mansion, only to be told that his opponent had forfeited today.
You Su asked for the opponent’s na and imdiately guessed the reason:
Because that person was also one of those who followed Wu Cheng to besiege . Surely, after seeing Sheng Ziling’s miserable humiliation by the other day, they didn’t dare to face , which is indeed a wise decision.
For most people in this city, they may never leave Chuyun City in their lifeti. Compared to the elusive Divine Mountain Dream, continuing to live with a respectable reputation in this city matters more.
With no competition, You Su turned and left without a hint of interest in others’ matches.
Upon returning to the sect, You Su was preparing for a day of cultivation and was ready to continue studying "Ruyi Wind Manipulation Skill" in his mind when Ji Lingruo walked in.
The young girl, in a light green ru skirt, stood gracefully at the door with an unhealthy flush on her face, biting her lip as if wanting to say sothing.
Because this skirt fit Ji Lingruo’s exquisite figure perfectly, it was one she commonly wore. Looking again now, it seed slightly short; what previously showed her round and delicate ankles when she stepped now displayed a graceful curve of her calves even while standing. Her waist appeared even slenderer, and her hips also a bit wider. Where once the bodice could perfectly cover her bun-sized chest, now it seed slightly bulging, ready to reveal.
It seed that, overnight, the junior sister had grown a bit.
But noticing such differences was incredibly challenging for soone blind, and moreover, without the lessons of the past two nights, You Su wasn’t aware of the changes in Ji Lingruo’s body.
Seeing the girl enter the room without speaking, You Su changed from his ditation posture and asked:
"What’s the matter, junior sister? Anything you need?"
"Can’t I co for no reason?"
Only by teasing You Su could Ji Lingruo feel at ease. Tugging her skirt and drafty collar, she sat down by herself.
"Of course you can, always welco."
"Weren’t you supposed to be in a match? Why are you back so soon?" Ji Lingruo asked casually.
"My opponent forfeited." You Su could sense that wasn’t what the junior sister truly wanted to ask.
"Oh..." Ji Lingruo furrowed her brows lightly, puffed her cheeks, pondering how to steer the conversation toward what she wanted to say.
"If you have sothing to say, just say it plainly, junior sister." You Su’s expression was gentle.
"Aren’t you clever!" Ji Lingruo stuck out her tongue, speaking harshly: "Hey! Tell , should a senior brother give a gift to his junior sister?"
A big question mark popped up in You Su’s mind, "Of course."
"Then what have you bought for ?"
"Hairpins, bracelets, storybooks, pinwheels, snacks..."
"Stop, stop, stop! Enough." Ji Lingruo was annoyed and exclaid, "Why would a big man rember these so clearly?"
You Su smiled without saying a word, "Just tell what you want, and I’ll buy it for you."
"You! I have no clothes left to wear! You go buy so." Ji Lingruo’s voice beca softer toward the end, as if deflated.
"Didn’t you always say you didn’t want new clothes, that the materials here couldn’t compare to yours and you weren’t interested?" You Su asked curiously.
"Now I want them, is that not okay?"
"Of course it is. I’ll take you to buy them." You Su rarely got the chance to go out with Ji Lingruo; back in the previous life, junior sisters and the master were top-notch hobodies.
Ji Lingruo looked at her sowhat revealing outfit, feeling embarrassed: "I...I’m not in a good condition to go out, nor do I want to."
You Su then rembered that not only did the junior sister not like eting strangers, but she was also a victim of evil spirits, so how could she go out casually? He felt like cursing himself, wishing he could slap himself.
"Then I’ll go buy it for you, junior sister; what kind do you like?"
Ji Lingruo took out a folded slip of paper from her pouch and said:
"Anyway, you can’t see, so I don’t expect you to pick anything beautiful. Just ask the shop owner to choose for you, rember to say not to pick the kind everyone wears! This miss doesn’t want to be the sa as others. And! There are color requirents too. My favorite is light green. If there isn’t any, then any light color will do, just don’t pick dark colors, dull like your black and gray clothes, they’re so ugly!"
"Buy three sumr dresses, it will soon turn cool in autumn, so get three autumn dresses as well, as for winter clothes... let’s leave that for now. Don’t just pick the cheap ones! Even if you plan to save money to buy a house under the Divine Mountain, at least buy... one decent piece, right? This miss has humbled herself to join your broken sect, you can’t treat so poorly! Rember what I said?"
Right now, You Su only had one thought: to buy the best dresses from the best boutique in Chuyun City for his junior sister.
"Got it. What about the size?"
"Not telling you!" Ji Lingruo turned red. She actually preferred her previous budding figure; her slightly fuller body now made her a bit uncomfortable, "Here’s the note. It has all my requirents and sizes written on it. Don’t let others read it to you! Only show it to the shopkeeper, or I won’t speak to you again! On top of that, you absolutely cannot do anything weird to the dresses!"
"What weird things could I do?" You Su’s face was full of innocence.
"Heh! Who was it that once with their face pressed against this miss’s skirt sniffed, causing to never wear that skirt again!"
Ji Lingruo looked disdainfully at You Su’s straightforward expression, speaking with resentnt. Yet, only she knew, she never truly disliked that skirt.
You Su’s face flushed black as he defended, "How can you not believe , junior sister? I really didn’t do it on purpose that ti, it was truly when putting away my clothes, a sudden strong wind blew, and your skirt got blown against my face. You see, we dry our clothes separately now; where’s the chance for such a thing?"
Recalling that explosive scenario, Ji Lingruo indeed acknowledged, the wind was strong, and the light skirt did seem to be blown onto You Su’s face, even pressing against it highlighting his rugged facial contours...
But no matter how strong the wind, the fabric wouldn’t stuff itself into your nose, co on! Even if I secretly slled your clothes, I wouldn’t sniff that hard!
Ji Lingruo’s cheeks reddened more intensely, too lazy to entertain the topic, she handed over the slip:
"You should train first, go buy them this afternoon, and bring dinner back too,"
You Su tucked the note safely away and flashed a reliable smile:
"Rest assured, junior sister, I guarantee the task will be completed!"
