Chapter 112 112 Ouch Ouch Ouch
However, Song Chi did not give up. He went to his master's study, but there was clearly still an array blocking his way.
If any danger arises, she's determined to scream and throw herself weakly into Mo Shubai's arms. She'll then secretly loosen her collar; she's determined to complete her seduction plan.
So she straightened her clothes and stood up. Mo Shubai immediately reached out, probably to take back the cloak.
But she had already received the storage ring, and because it carried Mo Shubai's faint lotus scent, she was even a little reluctant to wash it or return it. Of course, that would be too obsessive; she was a normal person and couldn't allow herself to become like that.
"I'll wash that garment and then return it to my senior brother," she said.
Although Mo Shubai smiled and said it wasn't necessary, he had no choice but to give up because Song Chi insisted. He then told her that there was a formation along the way, and that the study in the west courtyard seemed to be the exit, instructing her to stay close to him.
Song Chi thought to himself, "No problem. Not only will I stay close, but I might even pounce on you. Senior Brother, you'd better be prepared!"
However, due to Mo Shubai's exceptional array formation abilities and the grandmaster's excessive protectiveness towards his disciples, they managed to escape unscathed. She was prepared to scream for her servants several times, but she had to swallow her breath almost immediately afterward.
She was about to break through to the West Courtyard, and her mission was to be completed smoothly, but her seduction plan had not yet begun.
Song Chi couldn't help but shout in his heart, "Grandmaster, do you dare to do something really powerful?"
The result was good; she had just reached the second floor of the study when Mo Shubai entered, perfectly fine, but then she stepped into a deep, empty cavern.
"Senior Brother—!" This time she really screamed in surprise.
Then, the moment he fell, he let out a scream, the pain so intense he couldn't even speak.
"Third Junior Sister, how are you? Third Junior Sister!" Mo Shubai's anxious voice came from above, along with the hissing sound of spiritual energy fluctuations as the array flags broke down.
But Song Chi was speechless. I don't know if you've ever experienced the pain of kicking hard metal with your toe, but that's exactly how Song Chi felt.
She fell, and as she stumbled, her forehead struck some kind of unusually hard horn.
I was in so much pain that I clutched my forehead and stomped my feet silently on the ground. "The Heavenly Dragon Wood is as hard as iron; even a god would get hurt if he touched it. You're such a jinx!" A low laugh echoed in my mind.
She recognized the voice; it was the same voice of her grandmaster, Qingxiao Immortal Lord, who had used various difficult questions to challenge her during the sect's grand competition. Undoubtedly, this was a fragment of her grandmaster's spirit.
Immediately, a surge of spiritual energy erupted from the Heavenly Dragon Wood, splitting open and flowing into her brow. A black scroll containing an ancient melody slowly floated into her sea of consciousness. Completing the mission was quite easy.
But at this moment, a huge bump had swelled up on Song Chi's forehead. Even though it was dark and she couldn't see it, she felt that the effect was probably similar to the Little Dragon Man growing horns.
The spiritual energy in the study above surged, causing the entire building to creak and sway precariously. A few wisps of lotus fragrance also seeped down.
"That one is rather impatient." Immortal Lord Qingxiao smiled at the time, and then felt a wisp of spiritual energy pointing upwards to a certain place.
Countless lotus flowers surged and cascaded down from above like a waterfall, accompanied by a blue-clad figure in the dim light.
"Third Junior Sister, how are you?" As soon as Mo Shubai landed in front of her, he grabbed her wrist to check if she was injured.
Song Chi was crouching on the ground, clutching her forehead, thinking, "What can I do? Damn it!" At this moment, if she had any other injury, she would immediately and weakly pounce on Mo Shubai. But with such a big bump on her forehead… damn it, how could she possibly seduce him now?
So, Grandmaster, you really don't understand people's hearts!
As it turned out, Immortal Lord Qingxiao probably heard her thoughts, and he chuckled softly again. "You silly girl."
Look, they even called someone stupid. It's utterly outrageous.
"Third Junior Sister?" Mo Shubai asked hesitantly as he approached her.
This place is too dark, and the spiritual energy is extremely thin; even divine sense cannot penetrate it. But if Mo Shubai's spiritual energy were to be detected, a lamp would likely be needed.
"Don't!" Song Chi turned around to stop him, but it was too late. A small glass lamp had already lit up in Mo Shubai's hand.
She quickly covered her forehead, turned around, and squatted down. Mo Shubai tried to walk around to her, but she followed him into a dark corner.
Then Mo Shubai probably realized that the culprit was the golden dragon wood that had split in two, and said with a smile, "So that's how it is."
At that moment, Song Chi couldn't help but turn around and give him a stare, asking, "How can you laugh like that?"
Mo Shubai couldn't help but smile slightly, then shook his head and said, "This is a Wood Soul Injury. My family's Lotus Fragrance Green Jade Ointment is the most effective for this kind of injury. Third Junior Sister, don't worry, it won't hurt after applying this ointment."
Then he pulled out a pure white jade box from his sleeve. As soon as the lid was opened, a pleasant, cool lotus scent wafted out, making one feel refreshed and the pain in their forehead lessened.
Song Chi thought for a moment, and when Mo Shubai reached out his hand to her, she finally took his hand and stood up. "I should apply some medicine, otherwise it'll really hurt like hell."
But when her hand left her forehead, and Mo Shubai saw the large bag clearly, a slight smile did indeed appear on his fair face under the lamplight. Although it was just a fleeting smirk, his beautiful lips moved and then he pursed them back.
Song Chi remained unmoved by the handsome looks, giving him a hateful glare. "Senior Brother, you're still smiling."
Mo Shubai gently pursed his lips and glanced at her before saying, "Alright, I'll apply the medicine for you. It will sting a little, but bear with it."
Look at what you're saying! Song Chi's face turned pale instantly. Although it was inappropriate, Senior Brother, do you know the weight of those words? He pounded the ground.
Just as she was thinking all sorts of nonsense, Mo Shubai dabbed ointment on her forehead with his finger.
"Ouch, ouch, ouch!" Song Chi was in so much pain that he almost jumped three feet high. It felt like being whipped in the soul.
Mo Shubai finally stopped him by pressing down on his shoulder.
She could only grip the culprit's wrist—the one where the ointment was applied—with both hands, gasping for breath in pain, and trying not to bark like a dog to maintain her composure. Do you know how difficult that was for her?
After the medicine was applied, she was in so much pain that she was biting the front of his shirt with her teeth, her eyes brimming with tears.
Mo Shubai glanced at her twice, then lowered his hand from applying the medicine and gently supported her back. Song Chi could swear to God at the time that there was definitely something between them.
But Qingxiao Immortal Lord spoke up with a laugh.
"Alright, time is running out. These are some of my insights into cultivation over the years, which I've given to you, my fellow disciples." Then, Immortal Lord Qingxiao flicked two points of spiritual energy, pointing them at Song Chi and Mo Shubai respectively. Song Chi felt a pile of documents appear in his storage ring.
Then, spiritual energy surged forth. "Let's go back!" Immortal Lord Qingxiao said with a light smile.
Then the two were swept away from the courtyard by a strong wind and soared into the distant, snow-covered sky. Any ambiguous atmosphere was naturally gone.
Song Chi sniffed slightly. Well, although the seduction plan hadn't succeeded, the mission was still perfectly accomplished. Before leaving the barrier, she looked back and saw a light blue figure gradually disappearing into the night. That comfortable, elegant, and leisurely demeanor truly made him seem like a celestial being. And absolutely handsome, even just seeing his back. Her grandmaster's reputation as the most beautiful person in the cultivation world was indeed well-deserved. Mo Shubai probably saw him too; a hint of surprise appeared in his eyes.
However, before he could even bow, the two of them were sent back to Yunhai Songshan by their master's spiritual power.
The grandmaster went all the way and sent her back. But could they please leave her alone at the Scarlet Rose Pavilion? She really didn't want anyone else to see her looking like this with horns on her head. The big bump didn't hurt as much after applying the medicine, but it clearly hadn't gone down.
However, the moment the two landed, their master sensed a figure flash by and landed in front of the door. The grandmaster, presumably having some instructions for their master, pointed a finger of spiritual energy at their master's storage ring.
The master immediately opened his mouth in surprise, then solemnly bowed to the west.
Even if Song Chi wanted to cover his forehead, he had no choice but to lower his hand and bow respectfully to the west along with Mo Shubai.
After the ceremony, the master had expected to call them inside to discuss the matter. However, upon glancing up, he saw her appearance; the injuries were strange, and her concealment techniques were completely ineffective here. Naturally, there was nothing to hide. At that moment, the master's face twitched, and he spoke.
"You should all go back."
Venerable Xueqiao gave these instructions as soon as he entered the room. He had just seen the large, bright red bump on Song Chi's forehead, and her appearance was both pitiful and somewhat amusing. And just as a smile appeared on his face, the girl gave him a somewhat aggrieved and indignant sidelong glance, so he had to suppress it.
At this point, it's understandable that this girl loves beauty. But you know what? They were just going out to admire the lanterns, and their relationship seemed to be taking a step further, when suddenly they encountered an opportunity presented by their master.
After returning to his room, Venerable Xueqiao sealed the small hall and checked the files in his storage ring.
The handwriting was indeed that of his grandmaster, and his grandmaster was truly insightful, having foreseen his current cultivation difficulties and provided detailed explanations in the records, pointing out three paths forward for him to try. Receiving this guidance across fifty thousand years, Venerable Xueqiao was deeply moved. He immediately offered incense before his grandmaster's memorial tablet.
Then, after flipping through the file for a while, he found only one sentence from his master at the end.
"Your young disciple has quite a background. If she has any ideas, do not stop her. This child has her own destiny and fortune."
His youngest disciple was none other than Song Chi. When he accepted Song Chi as his last disciple, Venerable Xueqiao considered him his final disciple and would never take on any other disciples.
As for Song Chi, you could say he has a background... He's actually had some suspicions about this over the years. After all, he's someone who's managed to cultivate seventy-seven spiritual roots all the way to his current status as a heavenly spiritual root, and he's also such a musical genius. Venerable Xueqiao has always felt that Song Chi has a destiny to become an immortal. Now that his master has pointed it out, he's even more convinced.
However, that brat has many and ambitious ideas, and sometimes, to be honest, one has to stop her. But since his master said so, perhaps he has his reasons. He'll have to wait and see.
Soon after, Shu Bai watched his third junior sister return to her room at Fei Mei Pavilion to bathe before he came up the mountain, relieved, and explained what had happened that evening. He was certain it was an opportunity to meet his master. Moreover, his master was indeed very caring towards his disciples and grand-disciples; he had even detailed over ten paths for Shu Bai to follow on his righteous path. At that time, Shu Bai's path to immortality would naturally be much easier. Shu Bai mentioned that Song Chi had also received guidance from his master.
However, that girl is probably troubled by that bump on her head... that kind of scar from the Heavenly Dragon Wood, even with Shu Bai's fragrant ointment, it will take three months to fade. This girl... Venerable Xue Qiao thought about it and couldn't help but laugh and sigh. Well, it seems their love story isn't going smoothly again. Shu Bai is even more affectionate now, but that girl... well, there's plenty of time, so it doesn't matter.
