Why is the fairy who adopted me plotting against me?

Page 68

“Mr. Su, there’s no need for such politeness.” Ling Suxin lowered her eyes slightly, avoiding his gaze, and said softly, “Just as you said, our acquaintance has been long…”

One day. Your entrustment of Zhixiao to me is the greatest trust you can place in me…”

Her voice trailed off, as if she didn't know how to smoothly continue these polite words.

Su Mu, ever perceptive, immediately noticed her embarrassment. He shifted the topic to official matters, which Ling Suxin was more familiar with, hoping to...

Let her relax gradually.

"Elder Ling, you led your sect's disciples to participate in the Heavenly Pride Gathering. Was your journey smooth? Are you staying at the Lan Yue Pavilion? If there are any issues..."

"If there's anything inconvenient, please let me know, and I'll have it arranged immediately."

This method proved effective. When the topic turned to the official business of the Heavenly Pride Gathering, Ling Suxin became noticeably more at ease, and her responses became much smoother: "Thank you for your trouble, Su..."

"Thank you for your concern, sir. Everything is fine. The arrangements at Lanyue Pavilion are extremely thoughtful, and the disciples are all very satisfied."

She paused, a hint of barely perceptible joy in her voice, "I noticed that the flooring in Lanyue Pavilion is made of..."

I mentioned granite in my previous book on talismans. I never expected Mr. Su to actually adopt my humble opinion.

When her suggestion was valued and put into practice, the corners of her lips couldn't help but turn up slightly, forming a faint curve. Her expression was... well, let's just say it was delightful.

Like a child receiving a long-awaited reward, they felt pure satisfaction.

"Elder Ling's advice is invaluable, and Su Mu will naturally heed it," Su Mu affirmed with a smile. "We did indeed deliberate for a long time regarding this stone."

Unable to make a decision, I was fortunate to receive guidance from the elder.

He said with a touch of regret, "It's a pity that a few days ago in Linhe Town, the demon cultivators launched a surprise attack, and the Lanyue Pavilion there suffered considerable damage. That fine..."

The granite floor was also completely destroyed.

"Linhe Town!" Upon hearing this, Ling Suxin's gaze sharpened. She had been too nervous and had momentarily forgotten that Su Mu had previously visited Linhe Town and even Taoyuan.

The story of the fierce battle between Hua Lin and the demon cultivators!

Although Su Mu repeatedly emphasized in his talisman book that he was unharmed afterward, hearing him recount the chaotic scene firsthand now immediately filled him with worry.

The thought immediately welled up in my mind.

In a moment of panic, he forgot his manners and instinctively reached out and grabbed Su Mu's wrist, which was resting on the table.

"By the way! Are you alright?" Her voice was clearly urgent, her fingertips instinctively placing them on his pulse, a gentle touch...

His true energy probed in, eager to confirm his safety.

Su Mu was slightly taken aback by her sudden action, but he didn't pull his hand away or show any displeasure. His gaze, however, grew increasingly intense.

Her hair was soft, and she quietly allowed herself to be examined.

Ling Suxin focused her attention on sensing the steady, abundant energy flowing within his meridians, and her tense nerves relaxed slightly: "Hmm, your blood and energy are vigorous."

His vital energy was abundant, and he appeared to be unharmed.

Then, she froze, abruptly looked up, her beautiful eyes wide with disbelief as she stared at Su Mu, gasping in shock:

"You...you've reached the Foundation Establishment stage?!"

The news was so sudden that she forgot to maintain her usual aloof demeanor, and almost instinctively sat down in her chair, bobbing slightly on the spot.

She moved slightly, and her reaction carried a charming naiveté and helplessness that was quite out of character for her, which only made her more endearing.

==================================================

Seeing her reaction, Su Mu's eyes flashed with tenderness, and he explained gently, "I wanted to give Elder Ling a surprise, but it seems I was being a bit presumptuous."

This sudden turn of events alarmed and worried the elder.

"Huff...huff, it's...it's nothing." Ling Suxin realized she had lost her composure and quickly took a deep breath, silently circulating the Shuyu Sect's calming technique.

I forcibly suppressed my turbulent emotions.

Suddenly, she realized she was still tightly gripping Su Mu's wrist, her fingertips even able to feel the warm pulse throbbing beneath his skin.

She recoiled as if electrocuted, hiding her hand in her sleeve, her fingertips slightly burning.

Her cheeks, hidden beneath the veil, were already flushed crimson.

"Congratulations, Mr. Su, on your successful Foundation Establishment," she said, slightly embarrassed, as she sat up straight again, trying to regain her composure, but curiosity ultimately overcame her shyness.

Embarrassed, she said, "But... I wonder how your damaged meridians were repaired, sir?"

She knew all too well how troublesome Su Mu's old meridian ailment was. She had consulted numerous ancient books and even sought advice from many elders in the sect, all of whom said that the hope was slim.

Seeing that he had not only fully recovered from his injuries but had also successfully established his foundation, I was truly astonished.

Looking at the pure curiosity and concern in her eyes, Su Mu pondered for a moment and decided to tell her frankly: "I also have to thank Elder Ling for this matter."

"Thank me?" Ling Suxin was even more puzzled.

“Exactly.” Su Mu nodded. “That day, Xiaoxiao and you entered the secret realm together, where a cultivation technique was hidden.”

"A mysterious dual cultivation technique."

Chapter 87 Are you implying something to me?

Ling Suxin's fingers tightened almost imperceptibly around the teacup for a moment.

Dual cultivation. ...?

It turns out that the ancient scroll, solemnly sealed away in that secret stone chamber along with numerous elixir manuals and spirit stone deposits, actually recorded this method.

So... Su Mu has already engaged in dual cultivation with the woman?

Since it is a dual cultivation technique, it naturally requires two people to practice together in order to be effective. This is a self-evident truth.

So who exactly is he with?

Her thoughts drifted involuntarily. She went through all the women in the Sleeping Flower Sect who were close to him in her mind.

Needless to say, Su Zhixiao was secretly protected by him during her training, and he knew very well how much this little girl depended on her brother.

Su Mu's uncles and aunts were mostly from the Shuyu Sect, and had been his senior and junior sisters. They had different personalities, but were all quite close to Su Mu; his

I have also given some guidance on cultivation to some of my junior sisters as an elder.

Gu Zhaorong and Shen Qingshang are core figures of the Sleeping Flower Sect; one is gentle and composed, the other aloof and cold. He himself has had disagreements with them.

Keep your distance. The elusive sect leader of the Sleeping Flower Sect is also a close fellow disciple of my master…

So, which of them will be Su Mu's dual cultivation partner?

Once this thought arises, it grows wildly like weeds, carrying a strange and unsettling magic.

Ling Suxin dared not look directly into Su Mu's clear, smiling eyes. As her gaze wandered, images uncontrollably surfaced in her mind.

Some blurry and embarrassing images—

Su Mu and the women she knew were intertwined, their figures entwined in passionate embraces… What terrified her even more was that her consciousness seemed to have detached from her grasp.

The viewer, unable to resist, subtly replaced the woman in the image with themselves!

She jolted awake, instantly snapping out of her reverie. She hurriedly picked up her teacup, using the act of drinking tea to conceal her...

The loss of composure and the rising heat on his cheeks, along with the slightly hot tea that slid down his throat, failed to completely extinguish the restlessness in his heart.

"Oh, I see," she tried to keep her voice steady. "To be honest, I wasn't much help. That secret realm was originally..."

I sensed that Zhixiao's bloodline aura had just begun to activate; I merely happened to be there and entered with her.

"Yes, it's a coincidence, but also fate." Su Mu's tone remained gentle. "In short, after Xiaoxiao brought the cultivation technique back to the sect, Aunt Gu confirmed that it was indeed..."

Since it could repair my meridians, Xiaoxiao and I practiced this method together.

"It's Xiaoxiao!" Upon hearing this answer, Ling Suxin almost blurted it out. The inexplicably tense string in her heart suddenly relaxed, as if a weight had been lifted from its place.

A huge weight has been lifted off my shoulders; I no longer need to dwell on those embarrassing speculations.

To be honest, she didn't understand why she cared so much about Su Mu's cultivation partner.

But now that they know it's Su Zhixiao, everything seems to make sense again.

The brother and sister were deeply devoted to each other, having relied on each other since childhood. Although she only had a brief encounter with Su Zhixiao, she could deeply feel the little girl's affection for Su Mu.

With an almost complete dependence and attachment, it seemed natural that a closer relationship would develop between them.

"So, have you two officially become Daoist partners now?" Ling Suxin continued the conversation, her tone returning to its usual tone.

It was cool and aloof, yet it held a subtle hint of inquisitiveness.

“That’s right.” Su Mu nodded frankly, his gaze clear and undisguised.

"Congratulations!" Ling Suxin nodded slightly, a faint, almost imperceptible, sense of loss passing through her heart.

But more than anything, I feel genuinely happy for this brother and sister who have gone through so many hardships.

"Although I only spoke with Zhixiao briefly in the secret realm, I could feel the deep affection the earth has for you."

At the time, I was secretly worried that although your sect's rules were not as strict as my Shuyu Sect's, becoming Daoist partners would eventually attract criticism.

Now that you've spoken so frankly, I presume Elder Gu and Sect Leader Shen have given their approval?

Su Mu nodded again and explained, "Aunt Gu and the sect leader already knew about this, and several close senior sisters in the sect also knew a little about it."

As for the other senior female disciples, Xiaoxiao is shy and hasn't officially told them yet, but I think they will understand and offer their blessings.

"That's good," Ling Suxin breathed a sigh of relief, as if a weight had been lifted from her shoulders. "I thought so too. They all watched you grow up."

I love and care for you all, so naturally I want you to be happy.

“That’s true.” Su Mu agreed wholeheartedly, then, while his tone remained calm, he uttered a statement that left Ling Suxin speechless.

My senior brothers and sisters have treated us with profound kindness and affection, and I will accept their kindness without hesitation and live up to their trust.

Uh-huh?

Ling Suxin blinked her cool, clear eyes, momentarily speechless. She wondered if she had misheard or misunderstood.

There is an error.

What do you mean by accepting their feelings?

In a flash, she suddenly remembered what Su Zhixiao had muttered with a hint of jealousy in the secret realm:

==================================================

Page 189:

"They all find new ways to pester my brother every day; they don't act like elders at all!"

Therefore… the women of the Sleeping Flower Sect who were close to Su Mu were not merely showing affection from elders to juniors, but rather harbored romantic feelings for him.

What is the meaning of this?

And judging from Su Mu's tone, he actually intended to take them all... for himself?!

What troubled her most was why Su Mu had to tell her such a shocking and private matter so bluntly. He, he, he

Is this perhaps hinting at something?

Ling Suxin suddenly looked up, nervously glancing at Su Mu, trying to find any trace of teasing or probing in his eyes.
