Chapter 334 Weakness

“Out of my way!”

A low roar mixed with anger came along with the gust of wind, which was about to strike Jin Ying who was in shock.

At this moment, the guard disciple saw that Su Li was caught in something in panic, and pulled Jin Ying to the side, just happening to avoid the sharp wind like a knife.

“Lucky girl.”

The guard disciple was relieved. If she didn’t fall like this, she would have to lie in bed for at least two months even if she would not have been killed by the strong wind. He watched in horror as the young man dressed in white rushed into the pavilion. Only when he could not see the back of the young man, did he feel relieved, so he went over to pull up the two who fell on the ground and persuaded,

“I haven’t seen you before. Are you new disciples?”

Jin Ying ma.s.saged her knees and almost burst into tears. After hearing the gatekeeper’s question, she nodded obediently and said crisply, “Senior Fellow Apprentice, my name is Jin Ying, and I just join the sect with Junior Sister Apprentice Su today.”

“You were the two girls… no wonder!”

The guard disciple was suddenly enlightened, and then carefully looked around. After confirming that there were no other disciples, he bent down and whispered,

“You two, listen to me. Come to the book pavilion tomorrow in that the Senior Fellow Apprentice who just pa.s.sed… has a bad temper. If you offend him, it is not a good thing.”

Jin Ying, who was already scared, became even more frightened after hearing this. She pulled Su Li’s sleeve and whispered, “Junior Sister Apprentice, shall we go?”

The disciple was confused about this. Why was the younger in charge of things between these two girls?

Su Li was not interested in the practice methods in the pavilion. She came here just to know what happened to Qingshui Circle over the past millennium years. The matter was not in a hurry for the book pavilion would not disappear, so it would be the same after she had practiced for two days.

“Then let’s go.”

As she finished the words, Su Li inadvertently glanced at the position of the window sill on the second floor of the book pavilion, and then turned away. Jin Ying quickly followed.

When they walked away, the guard disciple withdrew his friendliness and felt relieved. Fortunately, with the help of Senior Fellow Apprentice Deng, he finally completed the task ordered by the senior sister apprentice.

At the same time, the young man in white standing by the window sill on the second floor could not help sneering and whispering when he saw this, “It turned out that you did so for these two little girls. Junior Sister Apprentice Yue, you are really living back, for you can even do such a mean thing… well! I have no worries in the compet.i.tion for the ranking later.”

Thinking of this, the young man in white withdrew his gaze, and suddenly frowned again. Only one of the two little girls who had a lotus mark on her face seemed to look at him. Could she perceive him?

Impossible!

The young man in white shook his head, wondering why he had such a weird idea. Would it be possible that talking to Junior Sister Apprentice Yue makes him stupid?

…

It was almost noon when Su Li and Jin Ying returned to their residence.

Jin Ying touched her shriveled belly, being grieved, and whispered, “Junior Sister Apprentice Su, what should we do? Yesterday the steward clearly told us to go to the book pavilion to copy the mental method for people in Yunti Realm, but I didn’t expect that…”

Su Li glanced at her and shook her head, saying, “We can go tomorrow, so you have a meal first.”

Jin Ying nodded, thinking about what to eat with Su Li. Suddenly she saw that Su Li turned around and walked to her room. She couldn’t help but wonder,

“Junior Sister Apprentice Su, where are you going?”

Su Li paused causally and said without looking back, “I’m not hungry. Go alone.”

After that, without waiting for Jin Ying to answer, she entered the house and closed the door, leaving Jin Ying standing alone and being overwhelmed.

After returning to the room, Su Li walked to the futon, sat down and relaxed deeply. w.a.n.g Yu had been on the mountain last night, so to be doubly sure, she did not practice.

It was not until early this morning that w.a.n.g Yu was left and she had coped with the matter of the book pavilion that she had time to restore her cultivation.

Lifting her sleeves, Su Li glanced at the plain ring on her wrist, “As I was improved, the effect of Reincarnation Mirror s.h.i.+elding the nature’s mystery was getting worse and worse. It seemed that Tactical Matrix for Camouflage should be made as soon as possible…”

Su Li frowned when she thought of this.

The matrix was not a long-term plan. She could not stay in a same place all the time, so she must find the magic weapon for s.h.i.+elding the nature’s mystery and carry it at any time, so that she could enjoy forever safety.

But… the magic weapon for s.h.i.+elding the nature’s mystery was so precious that it was not available in the cultivation marketplace. The only feasible way was to repair the ring of Reincarnation Mirror and improve its ability to s.h.i.+eld the nature’s mystery.

“Right now, I am not able to make Tactical Matrix for Camouflage, let alone repair Reincarnation Mirror…”

Su Li smiled bitterly, shook her head to distract her, and entered into a settled state. If a common pract.i.tioner wanted to set up Tactical Matrix for Camouflage, he should have cultivation at least in the seventh hurdle of Lianqi Realm, and even she needed to be in the fifth hurdle.

Now she was in the third hurdle peak of Lianqi Realm, and needed another two. While w.a.n.g Yu was not at Danxia Mount, she needed to grasp every minute to practice, so she was reluctant to think about the other trivial matters.

After a long time, Su Li, sitting on the bed, exploded a four-hurdle momentum of Lianqi Realm, and the black spiritual power that had escaped was retracted into the body in less than three breaths, and the room became quiet again.

After a few more breaths, Su Li’s long eyelashes trembled and then she opened her eyes.

“I finally broke through to the fourth hurdle of Lianqi Realm, which is faster than I expected. If I have another ten days at this speed, I can make another breakthrough and reach the fifth hurdle.”

With a whisper, Su Li pinched her fingers and found that only half a day had pa.s.sed. She looked at the dark night outside and pondered for a moment. Suddenly, she pulled out a strange black mark with one hand and spread it across her body from her fingers, completely blocking the breath that had originally converged to the extreme, in case that the pneuma exposed by breaking through would cause troubles.

After finis.h.i.+ng these, Su Li jumped off the bed and put on her clothes. She opened the door and was about to go out to find out some news. Suddenly she stared at Jin Ying who was sleeping on the wall beside the door.

She frowned, thinking why did Jin Ying not sleep in her room but in front of her door?

Jin Ying hadn’t started practicing yet, so Su Li didn’t worry about the movement in the house being noticed by this girl. However, the girl was too weak. If she didn’t change her temper, she would die on the cultivation road sooner or later.

But what did other’s death do with her?

Su Li’s eyes showed indifference, for there were no kind people in the cultivation circle.

Perhaps she opened the door a bit loudly, so Jin Ying was awakened. She rubbed her bleary eyes, and looked up. After seeing Su Li, she immediately stood up in a panic, saying,

“I… I didn’t mean to sleep here, and I just…”

Before she finished speaking, her stomach was growling out of time, which heard by Su Li, so her face was flushed and tears appeared in the corners of her eyes.

“Jin Ying, you are so useless!”

“If you have no courage to go to the dining room, you would be better to starve to death!”

Jin Ying thought that angrily, and she looked up to reluctantly explain a few words to Su Li, but Su Li had walked out of the distance and was going to the dining room. Her eyes immediately lit up and she followed Su Li quickly.

Hearing the footsteps behind her, Su Li did not change her expression. She was indeed going to the dining room. There were many handyman disciples at this time, so it was convenient to use Jin Ying as a cover to inquire about the news.

For a moment, the two came to the dining room.

At this time, when the handyman disciples finished their work and came to have the spiritual meal, the huge attic with three floors was full of voices, and one could hear it clearly even standing outside.

Su Li walked to the door without stopping, and stepped in. The noisy sound in the lobby immediately subsided, because it was indeed eye-catching when the gathering place of all the gray handymen suddenly blended in with two girls dressed in fine pink clothes.

Jin Ying was stared at by so many people, so she panicked immediately, hiding behind Su Li. On the contrary, Su Li swept the whole room indifferently, and then walked directly through the crowd and went to the spiritual chef to take two meals and gave one to Jin Ying, and she found a seat and sat down.

Jin Ying followed to sit down and watched the meals. It didn’t look very good, but she swallowed and couldn’t wait to start eating.

She was so hungry, but Su Li didn’t go out at noon, so she didn’t dare to come here alone. Besides, she was not asleep last night. Being tired and sleepy, she fell asleep shortly before sitting in front of Su Li’s door.

When others saw the two sitting down for dinner, the hall was noisy again, but it was much smaller than before. Many handyman disciples looked at the two with a touch of respectful and longing in their eyes.

As long as they had been in Danxia Mount for more than ten years, they all knew what fine pink cloth meant. The one who valued by the mount head must have a great talent for cultivation!

Within a few years, these two girls would become disciples of Neimen Branch, and even become inherited disciples. If they had a good relations.h.i.+p with them, maybe they would have a better life and become their servants!

The status and power of the servants of inherited disciples was terrifying. Even ordinary disciples of Neimen Branch were reluctant to offend the servants.

Su Li picked up a full and round rice grain as bis as a soybean and put it in her mouth. A fragrance spread sweetly in her mouth. She hadn’t eaten spiritual grain in a long time.

Recalling the time when she practiced in Yuxu Sect, Su Li flashed a faint of remembrance, but Jin Ying did not see it because she was eating spiritual grain.

“Junior Sister Apprentice Su, what kind of rice is this? It’s so delicious, and I’ve never had such delicious rice!”

Jin Ying’s eyes were bright, and she said vaguely while eating. Suddenly, there was a burst of chuckle at the side table, “You don’t even know spiritual grain. I really don’t know how you get into Danxia Mount!”

Hearing such sarcasm, Jin Ying’s face was pale, and she looked at Su Li with an embarra.s.sment and a bit of guilt in her eyes.

If she didn’t follow her to dinner, Junior Sister Apprentice Su would not have been laughed at.

Su Li paused slightly and turned her head to look over. There were four girls who looked sixteen or seventeen years old at the table. Among them, a slightly older girl looked at Su Li, with a sneer in the corner of her mouth. She had a slightly rounded chest, showing a silver token hanging around her neck, proudly saying, “What’s wrong with this Junior Sister Apprentice; am I saying something wrong?”
