Fairy, Don't Be Afraid, I Am Blind

Chapter 285 - 172: Not Really Master, But Still a Good Master

You Su nodded heavily, "Hmm, I believe in Master!"

The Third Elder saw that this young man held the Thirteenth Elder in such high regard, as if seeing a kindred spirit.

The world admires Lotus Sword Venerable, merely attracted by her outer appearance. If they faced her icy heart, they would likely steer clear. Yet this boy is blind and can write that passage from , proving he truly appreciates the beauty of the Thirteenth Elder.

Just as she was about to praise You Su, Wangshu Fairy appeared:

"Third Elder, what were you about to tell me just now?"

You still remember that, do you?

The Third Elder casually crossed her arms, supporting her heavy bosom, took another sip of immortal wine, and forced a calm tone:

"What talk? Oh, nothing really... Right! I need to go back and check more records. This matter of refining one’s life essence is rare in the world, and there might be something particular to keep an eye on. We mustn’t let You Su’s efforts go to waste. You siblings should catch up, no need to see me off."

With that, the Third Elder urgently turned away, surrounded by a fragrant scent.

You Su caught a whiff of that rich aroma again, feeling that the Third Elder truly had a beautiful heart, couldn’t help but take a few more sniffs, feeling a sense of calm and happiness.

Wangshu Fairy puzzledly held her chin and murmured, "Could the Third Elder be leaving not because she can’t help me, but to avoid disappointing me?"

The Third Elder’s steps paused briefly. The hearing of someone at the Void Realm cannot be questioned. She resisted the urge to turn back and continued to walk away.

This was definitely not the time to stubbornly prove herself; best to wait until she prepared herself, and come back next time with results to impress this young girl.

You Su, of course, heard his senior sister’s doubt and asked, "What could sister need help from the Third Elder with?"

Wangshu Fairy candidly admitted, "I wrote half a quatrain inspired by poetry, but lack the inspiration for the second half. I wanted the Third Elder’s help, but she didn’t seem willing..."

You Su became interested, relieved that his sister’s trouble wasn’t a matter of cultivation; perhaps he could alleviate her worries through poetry and literature:

"I didn’t know you liked to compose poetry and essays, sister. Why not recite it for me and see if I can help?"

Upon hearing this, Wangshu Fairy’s eyes sparkled. Thinking that the poem could be a collaboration with her junior brother, she was filled with joy. Just as she was about to recite the poem, she noticed the strong fragrance around her again.

The Third Elder had unexpectedly returned, standing sternly beside the two.

"Third Elder? Why are you back?" Wangshu Fairy asked, full of surprise and doubt.

"One cannot rashly continue a poem. Haven’t I told you? Without the proper study, we cannot teach recklessly. I’m not helping you not because I can’t, but because I hope you can complete your own poem independently. As you are new to this path, it’s crucial not to learn haphazardly. I’ve returned to ensure no one tarnishes your exquisite opening lines."

The Third Elder explained the reason earnestly, without missing a beat.

In reality, she understood she didn’t want You Su to take advantage of her uncertain position and outshine. After all, she had worked hard for Wangshu Fairy to admire her more and couldn’t lose it so easily.

You Su understood that whether immortal scholars or mortal scholars, passing the Book Immortal Peak’s examination was an honor, so he modestly said:

"As a blind person, I’m hardly worthy to teach sister poetry and literature. I just wanted to give it a try for fun. With the Third Elder present, you can ensure sister doesn’t end up learning my rubbish."

Wangshu Fairy argued back: "Don’t say that, junior brother. You’re definitely amazing!"

The Third Elder was clear-minded; although You Su had just achieved a significant accomplishment, she wouldn’t allow him to keep earning kudos in front of Wangshu, so she feigned a smile and said:

"Indeed, I’ve read the piece you wrote for your master, and it does have some merit. So there’s no need to underestimate yourself. Feel free to try boldly."

"Junior brother wrote poetry for Master?!" Wangshu Fairy exclaimed in awe.
