Su Tingyun has always thought that people in the cultivation realm do nothing but cultivate all day long, but now she knows that there are also a lot of people who live very ordinary and peaceful lives, just like in the mortal world.
When the woman comes near, she sees Liu Feizhou. She closes her umbrella and salutes, a smile on her features.
“It turns out to be Master Liu. Didn’t expect to see you here. This humble one is Wang Family’s Ningxi, please tell me what you need, and we will prepare it immediately.”
Wang Ningxi is a female cultivator of the Wang family, she is the one in charge of receiving distinguished guests. She usually wears green clothes and has a plain hairstyle, as light as misty rain. But the red parasol is like the sunset glowing in the horizon. With that contrast, this person looks even more elegant and otherworldly, she is more beautiful than ordinary female cultivators. These days, she is the number one beauty in Jinxiu City.
Liu Feizhou’s eyes are higher than his head, yet he has no choice but to admit that Wang Ningxi looks pretty good, but it’s not for some special reason that he looks a little longer. Liu Feizhou turns to Su Tingyun, “You can wear something like this in the future.”
Those fluttering fairy-like skirts are not suitable for her, it would look too disjointed. But what she’s wearing now is so old-fashioned. And yet, she still dares to have a crush on someone.
“Even if you’re ugly, you still need to properly polish up yourself…” Liu Feizhou looks down upon Su Tingyun as he sizes her up, “Or you’re destined to be alone forever.”
Su Tingyun: “…”
“Hey, what are you saying, how is Granny not good-looking? Isn’t it just that her eyes are a little too small, her forehead is a little too wide, but our Lord will not dislike it…” Bai Chengyu, who has been following behind like a shadow, couldn’t hold himself back. Before he could finish, Su Tingyun rounds in on him and covers his mouth. At the side, Wang Ningxi also smiles, “Miss, our alchemist has recently refined some beautifying pills, they’re highly recommended, why don’t you give them a try?”
Hearing this, Bai Chengyu immediately pipes: “How many spirit stones for them, I’ll buy them all.”
After he says that, Liu Feizhou and Xiao Budian laugh, and even Wang Ningxi covers her face with her sleeves and chuckles.
Su Tingyun has always been the butt of all kinds of jokes, and she’s never really cared much about it. But seeing their smiles right now, she gets a little angry for the first time.
Many people in the cultivation world are beautiful. Infinitely prettier than Wei Yun. Much better looking than even her former self. There’s nothing she can do about that, and she doesn’t mind that others will look down on her because of it.
But for her own people to also mock her so much all the time, even if her heart is made of diamond, there would be times that she gets sad.
Without saying a word, Su Tingyun follows the female cultivator onward, and when she arrives at Wang family’s shop, she finds a corner to take a seat, planning to not talk to the others.
She is in an isolated area, next to a bookshelf, on the bottom of which are some books, text scrolls, and picture scrolls. She is not in a good mood, so she browses those books. They are all the type with spiritual energy implanted into them. They really don’t have any use for her.
Liu Feizhou also notices her strange reaction. He knows that he might have upset her. In the past, Granny didn’t have anyone in her heart, and she never minded whatever you said about her. Now that the response is so different, she must be really upset.
Although he knows that he has said too much, it is completely impossible for Liu Feizhou to apologize. He turns his head and glares at Bai Chengyu, then flicks his eyes at Su Tingyun, sneering a few times.
Bai Chengyu scratches his head and walks over, “Granny, you’re very good. Our Lord especially likes to listen to your stories, he once listened to them for a day.”
Su Tingyun: “…”
When has she ever told Bai Su a story? And he even listened to it for a day!
“Although I like pretty ones, I guarantee that the Lord likes you just as you are.” Anyway, his Lord is not here, and inside the Seal, he is completely ignorant about the outside news. So Bai Chengyu betrays his eldest brother without the slightest hesitation.
“Hmph.” Su Tingyun snorts, and raises her hand to give Bai Chengyu a nice knuckle on his head. But he sees it and steps back, bumping against the bookshelf. Although he quickly reacts, using spiritual energy to hold it up, a few books and scrolls still fall down .
Su Tingyun picks up a scroll, and once it’s in her hands, she only feels that the scroll makes one’s heart go cold and beat faster. This causes her hand to tremble, and the scroll falls back to the ground again, the ribbon tied around the outside slips off, causing the scroll to unfold, and revealing a corner of a painting. There’s a hand, a woman’s hand.
Happy Daoist
