"Um."
Su Yuewan nodded, sat on the jade bed, and silently recited the incantation to calm the mental barriers within her body. She continued:
"When I broke through to the Supreme Realm, I encountered some problems, which not only prevented me from breaking through, but also caused an unresolved mental barrier to grow in my body. It would interfere with my mind and energy channels from time to time, which is why I needed this Cold Jade Bed to treat it."
She calmly recounted all of this because she knew that Bai Hao actually knew many things, but simply hadn't said them aloud.
So she wasn't afraid to speak out.
On the contrary, Bai Hao felt a little flustered as he listened to her rattle off a long string of words.
Why are you telling me all this? I don't want to know these things...
They say the more you know, the faster you die. Could she have told me everything so I could die knowing the truth before sending me on my way?
Should I run away?
But I don't think I can outrun him.
[Should we tackle her to the ground and then run?]
In an instant, Bai Hao had already imagined a tense and exciting death battle: a showdown between chase and escape!
Otherwise, why would Su Yuewan tell her these things for no reason? They're not that close.
Hearing Bai Hao's inner thoughts, Su Yuewan was both angry and amused.
Even though she was in this state, to be honest, Bai Hao actually thought this way about her.
Is that how he sees me?
"I can manage here by myself. You go back and have dinner with them. Remember not to tell anyone else about my mental block, not even the Grand Elder. Otherwise, you'll be sorry, understand?" Since she saw her as the villain, she might as well be a little fierce.
"Okay, okay." Bai Hao nodded repeatedly, then turned and left.
"well."
Watching him leave, Su Yuewan sighed softly.
Sometimes she wondered why she could hear Bai Hao's thoughts.
If she couldn't hear him, she wouldn't be so angry, and she wouldn't have to suffer in silence from Bai Hao's constant irritation.
Perhaps her mental block was triggered by his anger!
"That's right."
Bai Hao's sudden return startled Su Yuewan.
"Um... Sect Master, would you like me to bring you some food?" Bai Hao scratched his head and said.
"No……"
"yes!"
After receiving a reply, Bai Hao vanished without a trace.
"well."
Su Yuewan felt a headache coming on again, so she quickly calmed herself down and silently suppressed the mental blockage within her body.
...
Back in the dining hall, Bai Hao rejoined the meal, but soon someone noticed that Su Yuewan was not there.
"Bai Hao, why isn't the sect leader here?" the Grand Elder asked.
She looked around several times but couldn't find Su Yuewan. She asked several disciples, but they all said they hadn't seen her either. Only then did she ask Bai Hao.
"Well... the sect leader has returned to Thousand Spirit Peak on business, so she didn't come to eat. She told us all to eat our fill and then cultivate diligently, so as not to let her teachings down," Bai Hao said earnestly.
"What could be so important that you don't even eat before going to deal with it?" The elder's cloudy eyes stared directly at Bai Hao, making the latter feel uneasy.
This old woman dares to question him?
Even though you are the Grand Elder, you should know that I am the one who spends the most time by Su Yuewan's side right now!
"I don't know about that, and I dare not ask about the sect leader's affairs. If the Grand Elder has any questions, you can ask him yourself," Bai Hao said in a low voice.
Anyway, the matter has been discussed. If the old woman still has any questions, she can go to Thousand Spirit Peak herself.
In the end, the Grand Elder still did not go to Thousand Spirit Peak.
After all, she still believed Bai Hao's words, but she was a little envious that Bai Hao could often stay in front of Su Yuewan now.
You should know that in the past, that was her privilege. Only the Grand Elder could always be by Su Yuewan's side and convey the sect leader's orders.
But now, Bai Hao has actually taken this position, which is infuriating.
If it weren't for the fact that Bai Hao was also a ten-year veteran disciple of the sect, and that she couldn't serve Su Yuewan because she was currently shouldering the heavy responsibility of rebuilding the sect given to her by Su Yuewan, she could still accept it after thinking about it.
"No need. Since the sect leader has said so, you should eat your meal properly and then cultivate diligently. Don't let down the sect leader's guidance today, understand?"
"yes!"
The disciples responded loudly.
...
In the days that followed, the Falling Sea Sect presented a long-lost scene—almost every disciple was training hard, and the square was full of people, practicing against each other in twos and threes.
A positive and uplifting atmosphere prevailed.
This gradually created the atmosphere of a major sect.
Of course, this is the situation for most people, with a very few exceptions.
For example, Bai Hao.
“Ha~”
On the grass outside the square, Bai Hao lay there and yawned for what seemed like the umpteenth time.
He should have gone back to sleep at this point, but the sight of his junior female students training so diligently nearby was too beautiful to look away from.
"If I could, I would go down and personally guide them," Bai Hao said with a sigh, shaking his head.
Now, with Su Yuewan's guidance, they have made rapid progress. In less than a month, many of them have advanced from the Qi Gathering stage to the Foundation Establishment stage, while Fan Ziming and Zheng Long have also successfully broken through to the Body Tempering stage.
Bai Hao is now too embarrassed to go down and give guidance.
Because he was the only one still stuck in the same place—mainly because he couldn't cultivate Su Yuewan's techniques; he could only cultivate the techniques given by the system, and most of them were useless. Apart from techniques and martial arts skills, he could have anything.
Otherwise, he wouldn't have worked as a cook for so many years.
"what are you doing here?"
A figure blocked out the sun, casting a shadow on him.
Bai Hao looked up at Su Yuewan, who was dressed in plain clothes, and scratched his head: "I'm sunbathing."
"Sunbathing?" Su Yuewan frowned.
She felt that Bai Hao was lying.
“Yes, getting some sunshine helps with calcium absorption, which is very good for your health,” Bai Hao said earnestly.
"Calcium? What's that?"
"Never mind, come with me." Su Yuewan didn't bother to figure out what he was saying and simply pulled Bai Hao away.
"Where are you going? It's not mealtime now."
"It's not about eating!" Su Yuewan was speechless.
Does this guy think I only come to him when it's time to eat?
"I need to refine pills, so you'll have to help me," Su Yuewan said irritably.
"Alchemy?"
Bai Hao was taken aback.
He didn't seem to have heard that Su Yuewan could refine pills.
Despite his doubts, he obediently followed Su Yuewan to Qianling Peak.
Since it's not like I need him to cook, everything is fine.
