Chapter 1053 - 487: Su Qingdai’s Misunderstanding (2)

"We’re back!"

As soon as they entered, the little girl let out a long, heavy breath and made a move to start pulling things out of her bulging, overstuffed red sleeves.

"Young Master, the Master is in the main hall."

Jin’er quietly reminded her, afraid that this girl would lose her head with glee the moment she saw their Master and end up exposing their identities.

Qing Jun jumped in fright, hurriedly drew back her little hands, put her feet together properly, shrank her neck like a guilty thief, and called out sweetly:

"Daddy! We’re back!"

The little girl was getting more and more fluent at calling him Daddy,

but to Chen Ye’s ears, it still felt a bit odd.

If this girl wanted to call him that, fine, but why did she have to keep winking at him?

Before Chen Ye could reply, the three people behind the two of them also stepped forward.

"Junior Su Qingdai of Medicine King Valley, together with my fellow sect’s True Inheritors, greets Senior. Many thanks to Senior for taking us in and sheltering us from the storm."

Su Qingdai lowered her junior’s posture to the utmost, offering Chen Ye a deeply respectful bow that went all the way to the ground.

This... this is the ’Master’ those two master and servant were talking about?

He looked a bit too young.

She’d thought he’d be a white-bearded old grandpa, but he turned out to be outrageously young, as if he were about the same age as her.

Yet his bearing was indeed like a bottomless ocean.

The faint pressure leaking off him was even more terrifying than that of the Foundation Establishment Ninth-Layer Cultivators she’d seen!

As for his exact cultivation, she simply couldn’t see through it.

However,

since he was stronger than a Foundation Establishment Ninth-Layer Cultivator, that from another angle proved that this person was a Golden Core True Man!

"Fairy Su, you’re too polite. Since my boy ran into you on the street, lending a hand was just something done in passing. You could say we got to know each other through a clash."

Chen Ye calmly played along, smiling gently as he flicked his long sleeve. The white-robed swordsman standing at his side immediately stepped forward, face cool and aloof, and handed over two bottles of top-grade Healing Elixirs that restored flesh and invigorated blood.

"Many thanks, Senior." Su Qingdai instinctively reached out to take the Jade Bottle.

In that instant when their hands brushed, even with her mind taut as a bowstring, this first True Inheritor of Medicine King Valley still couldn’t help having her Divine Soul jolted by the sight of the Sword Cultivator before her.

Under her veil, Su Qingdai’s red lips unconsciously parted slightly.

Earlier on the road, when that Little Young Master in Red Clothes had boasted that "my big brother is really, really good-looking, like an immortal descended to the mortal world," she had mentally prepared herself. She hadn’t expected that the real person standing before her would hit her far harder than any words.

With his hair tied up, the youth’s features were like fine mutton-fat jade; his Sword Intent was sharp and awe-inspiring, his icy aloofness like the peak of a snow mountain that had stood unmelting for ten thousand years.

With such looks and bearing, even in Medicine King Valley, where beauties were as numerous as clouds, there was absolutely no one who could match even a fraction of him.

Wait a second...

Su Qingdai berated herself inwardly. Why was she comparing this youth with beauties?

Fortunately,

she had once seen the Peak Master of Baopu Peak of the Lingyin Sect. That person’s looks were no less stunning, and different from the youth before her. This youth was indeed beautiful, and he shocked her, but he did not stir in her any sense of romantic heartbeat between man and woman.

Thus,

Su Qingdai was still able to remain composed and not lose her manners, whereas the two fellow disciples behind her were truly dumbstruck.

The delicate Female Cultivator even forgot the searing pain from her wounds for a moment; her eyes sparkled with brilliance, and she was just short of drooling.

As for the sword-bearing male Cultivator, he was in an even worse state...

The guy was starting to doubt his life. He shrank his head, not daring to look at Zhiwei at all, his fingers trembling slightly.

Damn it!

How could he be attracted to a man?!

He absolutely couldn’t let his junior sister see his face!

Otherwise, by tomorrow, the entire Medicine King Valley would know that the valley’s only sword-wielding senior brother had actually blushed over a boy!

"Damn... The persona I’ve worked so hard to maintain for so many years must not be ruined in one day!"

Was it easy for him to practice the sword in a place like Medicine King Valley, an Alchemy Sect?

He just wanted to put on a bit of a show in front of that crowd of Pill Fools...

If what happened today got out, would he ever be able to strut around again?

He’d probably be laughed at the moment he showed his face.

"Senior Brother, look at him... Wait, Senior Brother, what’s wrong with you?" The delicate Female Cultivator glanced curiously at the sword-bearing male Cultivator who had been keeping his head down.

The sword-bearing male Cultivator still kept his head lowered and let out a sigh:

"Junior Sister, do not disturb your senior brother... Just now, when I was fighting that fiend from the Red Ape Sect, I brushed against the mysterious barrier of Unity of Man and Sword at the brink between life and death. The reason my hands are shaking and I cannot raise my head is that the Sword Intent in my body is currently surging and washing through me. Before I comprehend this stroke of fortune, I must maintain this state of a still, bottomless well to quietly savor it, so as not to let this Clear Sword Heart disperse..."

The delicate Female Cultivator was stunned as she listened, then immediately straightened up with solemn respect; her eyes were full of admiration.

Worthy indeed of being their Medicine King Valley’s only Sword Cultivator!

In such a large Alchemy Sect, how many years would it take to produce a genius like him?

It was a pity Senior Brother had been born in Medicine King Valley... If he had grown up in the Refining God Sect, he’d probably already be at Late-stage Foundation Establishment by now. At that point, that One-Eyed Dragon wouldn’t dare act so wildly in front of Senior Brother!

On the other side,

although Su Qingdai felt that this junior brother of hers liked to show off... ahem, liked to pride himself on his Sword Cultivator demeanor, she had no time to worry about him now.

These two were utterly disgracing Medicine King Valley, gawking like country bumpkins who’d never seen the world.

As their senior sister, she absolutely had to set a good example!

"Taoist Su, what are you dazing out for? These Pills were... were personally refined by Daddy."

The cool voice sounded in the elegant room. The white-robed girl’s face remained calm, but when she uttered the words "Daddy," a faint trace of shame flickered through those cold-pool-like eyes.

She had actually... actually called her Master ’Daddy’...
