Chapter 338 - Dare You!
Chapter 338 Dare You!
Su Li did not explain anything to Jin Ying, for she preferred to verify everything with actions.
Jin Ying seemed to be accustomed to Su Li’s style. After refeeding Su Li porridge, she left quietly. If she stayed here all the time, she would inevitably be noticed.
Su Li looked at the darkness outside and her psychic awareness spread like mercury, and soon saw all the surrounding foundations.
This was a relatively remote woodshed, not far from their residence, but because no one was assigned here, it had been being empty. She wondered how Jin Ying found this place.
“There is still no pneuma of Wang Yu at the mount peak.”
Su Li withdrew her psychic awareness and meditated. On that day, Wang Yu told them to take the mental method of Yunti Realm on their own and she would come back a few days to check their cultivation.
It was really inappropriate to give such a command.
On the surface, she and Jin Ying were just ordinary girls who had just joined the sect and knew nothing about cultivation. As the saying went, “The master teaches the trade, but apprentice skill is self-made.”, but Wang Yu didn’t even teach them basic things about cultivation, which was too irresponsible.
“Although Danxia Mount is a bit chaotic, those disciples have nice cultivation, so, Wang Yu… shouldn’t be such an irresponsible person, and she might do her own business.”
Su Li speculated and thought, “That’s fine, for no one can bother me. When my injury recovers, I can take the girl to the book pavilion.”
Su Li settled down to restore her spiritual power, and she had many things to do.
Although the ring of Reincarnation Mirror was in contact with her, the effect of shielding the nature’s mystery had not been enhanced.
The body of evil ghost invisibly gave her an intuition that after she broke through Zhuji Realm, even she hid in Triple Star-stacked Defensive Matrix of Huajian Sect, the natural law would still discover her.
“I still need to prepare Tactical Matrix for Camouflage. Fortunately, it seems that Wang Yu won’t come back in a short time, so, I still have time.”
Thinking of this, Su Li stopped thinking and entered the state of concentration completely with only a trace of physical awareness being left out to watch out for the outside world.
Several days passed soon, during which Jin Ying came here several times off and on to take a few bowls of porridge for Su Li.
Su Li had recovered a lot on her hand, so, she didn’t need to let Jin Ying feed her anymore. She saw that Jin Ying always wanted to say something with her, but she didn’t ask much.
“Tomorrow, I will go to the book pavilion with you.”
Putting down the empty bowl, Su Li suddenly said, and she could naturally sense that after more than ten days passed, the girl still failed to reach Yunti Realm. It was time to find out the secret in the book pavilion.
Jin Ying was a little shocked and then her face changed slightly. She shook her head and said, “We can’t go there!”
“Why?”
Su Li frowned slightly, and Jin Ying got nervous for no reason. It seemed that if she run against the wishes of the person in front of her, the consequences would be serious.
After dismissing the weird thought in her mind, Jin Ying sighed helplessly and wailed, “Junior Sister Apprentice, please don’t ask. After your injury is healed, we go down the mountain together. As for cultivation… we are doomed to failure.”
Su Li raised her beautiful eyebrows slightly and looked at the gray disciple suit that Jin Ying was wearing. She said nothing more.
Jin Ying thought that Su Li had listened in, and didn’t say much. She left the woodshed with lunch box. Seeing her skillful movements, Su Li felt a bit confused. If Jin Ying hadn’t gone to the book pavilion these days, what else could she do?
They spent a peaceful night.
The next morning, Su Li woke up from concentration, and her fingers could stretch freely. Her injury was almost recovered, so, even if she fought with others, she would not be affected.
“It’s time to solve some troubles.”
With a whisper, Su Li got up and put on a pink disciple suit and walked to the book pavilion.
When the purple air came from the east, it was the best time for cultivation, so, the pavilions above the mountainside of Danxia Mount were quiet and people all focused on cultivation.
The gatekeeper disciple of the book pavilion sensed the rising pneuma, and he was filled with expectation. When he finished the mission of keeping gate, he must take the reward of his senior sister apprentice to practice wholeheartedly!
At this moment, the disciple suddenly saw a pink figure not far away. He glared at it. Wasn’t Jin Ying already… she still dared to come?!
Su Li came closer, and the disciple felt unfamiliar with her. Then he remembered that she was the other child with immortal latency who came with Jin Ying on the first day.
It was just that the girl was too invisible. If she didn’t appear now, he would have forgotten such a girl.
The senior sister apprentice did mention her, and he finally solved Jin Ying, but why another one was coming now?
Su Li glanced at the disciple who looked a little unnatural, handed out the token and said indifferently, “Can I go in?”
The guard disciple froze, looking at Su Li who was a little bit cold. He couldn’t help wiping his eyes and wondering something. Was this the same girl as the weak girl who came last time?
“Senior Fellow Apprentice…”
As Su Li reminded him, the disciple was suddenly recovered and returned the token to her. When he was about to persuade her not to take the mental method, Su Li had turned around and walked in without giving him a chance to talk.
Thinking of the soon-to-be-received reward, the disciple looked gloomy and hatefully said, “Little girl, this was what you asked for!”
He took a carrier rune from his arms, sketched something and finally crushed it!
…
Su Li stepped into the book pavilion, and a fresh and elegant ink incense suddenly came to her. Most of the carriers in the cultivation circle recording precious mental methods were jade slips, and the contents of which could only be obtained through psychic awareness.
While some less important popular knowledge such as biographical sketches and geography of the circle were mostly existed in the form of rubbings, and the first floor of the book pavilion was used as a bookshelf instead of a matrix platform for keeping jade slips.
Su Li glanced at the room and immediately found Elder Xinfa who was in charge of the ground floor guardian dozing behind the counter. Without saying anything, she headed for the counter, drew out a blank rubbing and knocked on the table.
This knock was extremely complicated, for Su Li had secretly used the secret method of sound attack, but the Elder who was only in the fifth hurdle of Lianqi Realm in this floor naturally couldn’t detect it. It was just that he suddenly felt upset and wanted to do something.
He was stunned when he opened his eyes and saw that Su Li was holding a blank rubbing. Before he could figure out the situation, Su Li respectfully handed the rubbing over and said,
“I was ordered by Mount Head to come here to copy the mental method of Yunti Realm. Elder, please you give me the original one.”
Elder Xinfa was muddled, and subconsciously handed it over. When Su Li took it and began to copy, he suddenly recovered.
Oops, it was the child with immortal latency!
“Stop!”
Elder Xinfa burst out and tried to grab the brush from Su Li.
Su Li’s hands were empty, and she looked up with colder expression, “What advice do you have, Elder?”
Elder Xinfa saw that Su Li was not intimidated. Instead, she called in question. He was momentarily stumped and couldn’t think of any reason to stop her.
He secretly scolded the four maids who served Yue Lin, for they had said that these two girls were cowards. But how to explain this now?
Su Li raised her eyebrows slightly and her fingers were hidden in her sleeves. She set out a trace of spiritual power quietly, extending it to the edge of the tactical matrix for protecting the upper stairs.
This tactical matrix for guarding the book pavilion was a sub-matrix of Triple Star-stacked Defensive Matrix, so, Su Li easily broke a small hole.
After making the illusion of accidental damage, she then questioned,
“Are you trying to help me get a better brush? Or… you don’t want to obey Mount Head at all to give me the mental method?”
Seeing Su Li was young but she was not at all distressed, the Elder was embarrassed and angry. He smashed the brush, saying, “How dare you! You are just a handyman disciple. Who gave you the courage to be against me?”
“Oh?”
Su Li glanced at the sight gathered around her as well as the movement in the matrix in the second floor, sneering,
“Courage? I think… it’s you who are bolder, for you stop me from copying the mental method. I want to ask you that who on earth… gave you the courage?!”
Hearing that, those disciples who came to see the event suddenly changed their face, and all put down their books and hurried away. They could not get involved in this trouble!
Elder Xinfa almost fainted with anger and withstood the impulse to slap Su Li. He pointed at her and scolded, “What nonsense! You, a young girl, know how to confuse people. For the sake of Mount Head, capital punishment can be eliminated, but… living crime cannot escape! I will let you know… who has the final say in this book pavilion!”
After Elder Xinfa finished his words, a big palm was slapped toward Su Li’s beautiful face, which was expected to be smashed and bloody!
The only few disciples who dared to stay and watch suddenly showed their sympathy and turned their head away.
Su Li didn’t scare it and glanced at the matrix gap where the fluctuations subsided, and there was a little chill in her eyes.
There was such a foul atmosphere. How did Hua Yan manage the sect? If Danxia Mount only had these people who were snobbish and intoxicated with power, then Danxia Mount… could be abandoned!
Just when Su Li was about to fight back and to expose herself,
suddenly, faint words echoed in the awareness sea of Elder Xinfa.
“Who has the final say in the book pavilion? Elder Li, you are really awesome as Elder Xinfa… If this girl hurt a bit, you would go to Hanfeng Tower to reflect yourself.”
As soon as he heard Hanfeng Tower, Elder Xinfa widened his eyes and forced his blood back against his palm, and almost spit out a bit of blood.
“What happened?! How could First Elder know about the event happening in the first floor?!”
Elder Xinfa was frightened, and then his words and deeds would be seen by First Elder. If he didn’t stop, he must go to Hanfeng Tower.
Thinking of this, Elder Xinfa showed a smile which he thought could show his kindness, but he suddenly dumbfounded after a moment of wording.
It seemed that he didn’t even know the girl’s name until now.
But right now, it was obviously not time to ask for her name. He took the original mental method and its rubbing back to the counter, and hurried to the bookshelf to get the rubbing with the gold cover, and sent it to Su Li. When he was about to speak smilingly, all of a sudden, there was rush footsteps at the door of the book pavilion.
