CH 84.3

Su Tingyun doesn’t plan to stay long in the Array Hall. She has to return to the Obliteration Sword Island to report that she’s safe, and then she has to proceed to the Qianji Pavilion to pick up Little Bai. They were in a hurry last time, and they weren’t able to transplant Little Bai from the pond. Now that she’s going back, she’ll plant Little Bai into the jade bracelet so she can take it with her.

When it’s time for her to leave, Xiao Mei also wants to leave with her, but the latter is stopped by several elders.

“Mei-lass, you are still not used to the Qiankun Array Eyes, but the moon’s light now spills out from your eyes. Anyone that could pay attention will know that you have inherited the Qiankun Array Eyes when they see it. If you go out to that Immortal Palace in the sky, your head would be burned badly. It would be the same as a lamb going into the tiger’s den.”

She has the eyes of E Changguang, but not the strength of E Changguang. If she’s discovered by someone with other intentions, Xiao Mei will definitely be captured and exploited.

Xiao Mei is now the treasure of the Qiankun Array Hall, and will be the head of the faction in the future. She absolutely must not come to harm.

What everyone says is reasonable, and Su Tingyun also persuades Xiao Mei well. Before she leaves, she also asks Du Xizhi if he would like to go to the Obliteration Sword Tower with her. In the end, Du Xizhi remains stubborn, and he sticks with his original uncertain course. He doesn’t accept. Since the master is in closed-door cultivation, he will just be good and wait.

If the master says that he doesn’t want him as an apprentice anymore, he will go to the Obliteration Sword Tower to find a new master.

Before leaving, Su Tingyun asks Ning Xuzi for a flying device and two spirit stones. Although their Qiankun Array Hall is not rich in resources, they could still afford an ordinary flying device and two spirit stones. Ning Xuzi is in a good mood, so he gives two high-grade spirit stones and more than ten low-grade spirit stones. He even gives Su Tingyun a few square-shaped array plates.

Fang Dingyuan himself also makes several array plates for Su Tingyun. His heart is very troubled. Now he’s starting to curry favor with his Granny-in-law. He doesn’t know if it’s already too late, if he can still change her poor impression of him from before.

…

Inside Qiankun Array Hall’s formation barrier, you can see the outside world. Of course, you can’t see far, but you can observe the areas around the Wuliang Mountain. Su Tingyun leaves the barrier when there’s nobody outside. She turns around, and goes up the Wuliang Mountains again.

Since she’s alone, Su Tingyun still pays a low-grade spirit stone to the Treasure Pavilion.

She is now at the late stages of Foundation Establishment, and around these parts, she’s not weak. Now that the strong have crowded around the Kunlun Divine Tree, one can say that she is taller than the dwarves. On the way up, the low-level cultivators would take a detour, one after another, not daring to encounter her.

At last, she arrives at the edge of the Sealed Heaven Border. Su Tingyun throws down another wreath again.

Li Xinmei taught her how to weave this one. It’s not simply just circling the branches round and round. Li Xinmei used ordinary branches to demonstrate and taught her to weave some beautiful knots. Then after the wreath was finished, Li Xinmei and Fang Dingyuan designed a formation together, which could more or less function as a protective talisman, so that the flowers on the wreath can withstand some turbulent winds, and most importantly, those flowers will not wilt because of the formation.

The wreath is very beautiful, much better than the shoddy ones she’s been churning out before. Su Tingyun could barely put it down. She imagines what Big Bai would look like after receiving the wreath, and her eyes narrow in pleasure.

…

At the bottom of the cliff, Bai Su just forged another Big Bai. The material is made from the silver fishes, and the green leaves have been modified from one of his magic devices. It looks very similar to Big Bai. And while lying one its stomach, Big Bai watches it for a long time without taking a single step.

There are many wreaths next to Bai Su, all made by him. Initially, they’re skewed, slanted, too round, flat and just strange. Later, each one is the same size, and even the leaves and flowers are placed in the same order, as if they’ve been cut from the same mold. It’s practically an obsessive-compulsive disorder.

Big Bai doesn’t really like these wreaths, but at least the spirit doesn’t hate them anymore. Previously, he’s not even allowed to get close to Big Bai, but now he can weave a wreath right next to it.

Everything is going in the right direction.

The only thing that’s wrong is that Big Bai seems to be obsessing over that big orchid tongue grass. It dislikes Little Lan for being short and small, even the ones in the cave are no good.

Bai Su: “…”

Every time he thinks of this, he really wants to beat up Su Tingyun. What unrealistic beauty standards has she created for the Word Spirit!

At this moment, Bai Su suddenly detects a sign of movement. Big Bai, who’s beside him, jumps up and up to the edge of the cliff. While it’s jumping though, it squishes down the fake Big Bai next to him, then bounces up again. It knocks the other “Big Bai” to the ground. Then it rolls away.

“Chirp.”

That happy chirp is something he had never heard down here, which makes Bai Su feel that everything he’s done is in vain.

After a short while, he sees Big Bai coming back, wearing a particularly beautiful wreath. Then it even twirls at him. The orchid tongue grasses laugh together again, and Bai Su silently hangs down his head. He almost tears up the slender vines in his hands.

Su Tingyun, why don’t you come down? I promise I won’t beat you to death.
