2456 What Has This Got to Do With You? Wait a minute? What was going on? Hua Chengtian and the other two were a little stunned and their eyes were filled with disbelief. Senior Sister Mo Qing did look angry. However, her tone coupled with her words earlier on sounded a little bitter… Painting Immortal Mo Qing, one of the four great fairies, was obsessed with the Dao of painting and had an indifferent personality. In everyone’s hearts, she was a fairy who was high and mighty and untainted by the mortal world—how could she reveal such an attitude? However, her current attitude made her even more attractive for Hua Chengtian and the others. Originally, the Painting Immortal was someone who could only be seen from afar and could not be blasphemed. But now, Senior Sister Mo Qing seemed to have descended to the mortal world and became much more realistic when she came to their side. What did Su Zimo mean by his actions? He was deliberately avoiding personal visits by Senior Sister Mo Qing? If it was anyone else, they would be so excited that they would not be able to sleep for days! But soon, Hua Chengtian and the other two thought of a possibility. Everyone in the academy knew that Senior Brother Yue Hua had admired Senior Sister Mo Qing for a long time. Su Zimo must have avoided Senior Sister Mo Qing because he was afraid of Senior Brother Yue Hua’s reputation. At that thought, Hua Chengtian and the other two could not help but lament internally, “Su Zimo sure is smart. If he were to get too close to Senior Sister Mo Qing, he would definitely end up in a tragic state!” Yang Ruoxu and Princess Scarlet Rainbow had strange expressions as well. The two of them exchanged glances. Although they did not say anything, they were telepathic and could understand the message in each other’s eyes. “Ruoxu, Senior Brother Su and Senior Sister Mo Qing look like…” “I finally understand. Back at the Immortal Sect Selection and outer sect of the academy, Senior Sister Mo Qing attacked twice. It was not for me, but Brother Su!” “That does make sense.” “This misunderstanding caused me to be hated by Senior Brother Yue Hua for so long for no reason. Even now, Senior Brother Yue Hua gives me dirty looks each time he sees me.” “If Senior Brother Yue Hua knew that he hated the wrong person, he would probably explode from anger, hehe.” Both of them thought of this at the same time and were secretly worried for Su Zimo. Although Su Zimo was an in-name disciple, his combat strength was far inferior to Sword Immortal Yue Hua! Furthermore, Sword Immortal Yue Hua had cultivated in Heaven and Earth Academy for many years and the reputation and faction he had accumulated was far from what Su Zimo could compare to. Because of Fairy Mo Qing’s words, the entire scene fell into a strange calmness, as though time had stopped. Yang Ruoxu coughed gently and broke the silence. “Is there some misunderstanding?” Su Zimo snapped out of his stupor and explained hurriedly, “Senior Sister Mo Qing, I’m truly sorry. I’ve been cultivating a secret skill in seclusion all these years and can’t interrupt it. I wasn’t avoiding you intentionally.” The moment Mo Qing said that, she realized that she had lost her composure. Actually, in the beginning, she did not think too much about it when she went to look for Su Zimo to no avail. She merely thought that Su Zimo was cultivating in seclusion and could not be distracted. However, after being rejected seven to eight times in succession, no matter how naive she was, she realized what was going on and could not help but feel frustrated. Initially, she intended to ignore Su Zimo from now on as well. However, the more she thought about it, the angrier she became. Unable to calm down, she visited again, wanting to confront Su Zimo and ask him about it. Three days ago, after she failed again, she specially left the Ice Butterfly near Su Zimo’s cave abode to observe in secret. Indeed! After three days, Princess Scarlet Rainbow paid a visit and Su Zimo came out to welcome her personally. 𝘧𝓇𝑒𝑒𝑤ℯ𝑏𝓃𝘰𝑣ℯ𝘭.𝘤ℴ𝘮 Mo Qing had endured for more than a thousand years. Now that she finally caught sight of Su Zimo, she naturally had to come over and ask him about it! She only realized that there were outsiders present after she asked her question. As such, she realized that she had overreacted and regretted it immediately. Although she knew that Su Zimo’s explanation earlier on was still perfunctory, she did not say anything more. “You’re lying!” Unexpectedly, the Ice Butterfly on Mo Qing’s shoulder suddenly spoke in human tongue, “I saw everything. Right after you rejected us, you went out to welcome others in a lively manner just three days later!” The corners of Su Zimo’s mouth twitched. He endured the urge to step forward and squeeze the butterfly to death as he laughed awkwardly. “W-What a coincidence. I just came out of seclusion… fufu.” The Ice Butterfly wanted to continue asking and help Mo Qing vent her anger. However, Mo Qing said, “Little Butterfly, that’s enough. We’ll talk about this in the future.” When he saw Mo Qing give up on asking, Su Zimo felt relieved and wiped his sweat secretly. “Where are you guys going?” Mo Qing asked calmly. At the mention of that, Su Zimo’s expression turned solemn as he said in a deep voice, “Two of my old friends are in danger and I’m prepared to head over to help.” At this point, Su Zimo’s heart skipped a beat. If Senior Sister Mo Qing could step in, she would be more than a hundred times stronger than Hua Chengtian and the other two! Hua Chengtian and the other two were merely Convergence Perfected Immortals. Senior Sister Mo Qing had long cultivated to become a Hollow Nether Perfected Immortal. The four levels of the Perfected Immortal realm; Convergence, Celestial Being, Hollow Nether and Paradise Void. Senior Sister Mo Qing was only a step away from the final Paradise Void realm. At that thought, Su Zimo asked, “Senior Sister Mo Qing, I wonder if you’re free. Do you want to follow us over to take a look?” Mo Qing did not reply and merely looked at Su Zimo quietly with a fake smile. That gaze caused Su Zimo to panic. The Ice Butterfly harrumphed and said proudly, “No, we’re not free. We still have to cultivate in seclusion and can’t be distracted.” Hua Chengtian sneered as well and mocked, “Junior Brother Su, all these years, you’ve been avoiding Senior Sister Mo Qing on purpose. Now that you’ve encountered something, you’re asking for help instead. Aren’t you way too shameless?!” “You said that we’re shameless. I think you’re the one who’s truly shameless!” Su Zimo shrugged his shoulders. This time round, he did not refute. Actually, he regretted it the moment he asked that question. “What has this got to do with you?” Suddenly, Mo Qing spoke and glared at Hua Chengtian coldly. “I-I…” Hua Chengtian’s expression froze and he was stunned by Mo Qing’s words, not knowing what to say for a moment. Mo Qing ignored him and took out a yakatabune[1] from her storage bag. She turned to Su Zimo. “Come on.” The yakatabune expanded rapidly in midair, forming a spirit vessel that emitted a faint fragrance that was intoxicating. “Thank you, senior sister!” Su Zimo was delighted and expressed his thanks hurriedly before boarding the exquisite and beautiful yakatabune spirit vessel. “Brother Yang, Princess Scarlet Rainbow, come up too.” When Su Zimo turned back and saw that Yang Ruoxu and Princess Scarlet Rainbow were still rooted on the spot, he called out instinctively. “Erm…” Yang Ruoxu looked hesitant. Su Zimo did not know, but Yang Ruoxu did—Painting Immortal Mo Qing’s yakatabune was not something that everyone could enter! At the very least, up till now, even Sword Immortal Yue Hua did not have the chance! “Come on up. I’ll control the yakatabune so that it can be faster.” Mo Qing said indifferently without looking at Yang Ruoxu and Princess Scarlet Rainbow. Yang Ruoxu and Princess Scarlet Rainbow exchanged glances and heaved a sigh of relief. At the same time, they leaped onto the yakatabune spirit vessel. Swoosh! The yakatabune spirit vessel transformed into a divine light and disappeared in front of Heaven and Earth Academy in the blink of an eye. Hua Chengtian and the other two were left in a mess, sniffing the fragrance of the yakatabune with envious expressions… [1] A sort of Japanese pleasure boat.
