Fairy, Don’t Be Afraid, I’m Blind

Chapter 108: Mutual Teaching with Senior Sister

You Su eventually got off the bed. Using his spiritual sense and limited vision, he reopened the closed door, wishing he could open the windows even wider.

After doing this, he sat down on a wooden chair, with the serene Heavenly Maiden Wangshu sitting across from him.

This scene reminded him of his time at the Mandarin Duck Sword Sect, where he would give private lessons to Ji Lingruo in his simple room.

At first, he had also opened the doors and windows to avoid any impropriety, even though he knew no one would see. But by the last month before their separation, their lessons had evolved to the point where they would feel embarrassed if the doors and windows weren’t tightly shut.

Thinking of this, he instinctively glanced at his Senior Sister, who was waiting for him to begin. Although his vision was unclear at the moment, her mysterious and beautiful appearance was still vivid in his memory.

You Su shook his head inwardly, trying to ignore the strong sense of déjà vu. His teaching with his Senior Sister would be strictly proper and would never devolve into what it had become with his Junior Sister.

“Senior Sister, is there no one else on Lotus Peak?”

Heavenly Maiden Wangshu shook her head. “It’s always just been Master and me.”

“Then who usually teaches you?”

“It’s always been Master, or I study on my own. After Master left eight years ago, other grand elders would occasionally come to guide me.”

You Su nodded. Given Master’s Wife’s behavior over the past eight years, it was understandable that her disciple might lack understanding of certain concepts and behaviors. He asked again:

“Have you always stayed on the peak?”

“From the moment I was brought to the Divine Mountain after I was born, it’s been like this,” Heavenly Maiden Wangshu answered truthfully, her tone still calm, as if she were used to it.

You Su thought that this was indeed close to what he had guessed. Senior Sister Wangshu’s upbringing and environment were like a blank slate.

“Do you have any friends?” You Su asked.

This question, however, caused Heavenly Maiden Wangshu to fall silent for the first time. She didn’t speak, and her blue eyes lowered slightly.

You Su, sensitive to her reaction, realized he had asked the wrong question, causing his usually responsive Senior Sister to fall silent. He cursed himself inwardly and was about to find a way to make up for it when Heavenly Maiden Wangshu raised her eyes again, staring intently at You Su, and said:

“I don’t have friends, but I have a Junior Brother.”

Senior Sister’s innocence almost made You Su forget her age. Her demeanor was that of an otherworldly fairy who had cultivated alone on a divine peak, untouched by the world. From birth, she had never been an ordinary person. She had always been with the Divine Mountain, so it could be said that she was “born immortal,” skipping the stage of seeking immortality as a mortal.

You Su was deeply moved by Heavenly Maiden Wangshu’s words. He didn’t easily trust others and had no friends either. Junior Sister had been his greatest emotional support over the past three years, so he could empathize with the sentiment behind Senior Sister’s words.

“I don’t have friends either,” You Su said with a gentle smile. “But I have a Junior Sister, and now I also have a Senior Sister.”

Heavenly Maiden Wangshu stiffened slightly and softly replied, “Mm,” her tone still calm, but her fair hands resting on her thighs subtly clenched the fabric of her skirt.

“Senior Sister, let’s get back to the main topic. Why did you sleep next to me?”

“Master said that during her seclusion, I should take over her role in teaching you. She will test you when she comes out of seclusion.”

“Did she say anything else?”

“She also said that I am the Senior Sister, and you are the Junior Brother. As the Senior Sister, I should care for and be close to you.”

Well, no wonder they say a great master produces outstanding disciples.

“Even if you want to be close to your Junior Brother, you can’t sleep next to me, understand? If I were your Junior Sister, then it might be acceptable,” You Su said sternly.

Heavenly Maiden Wangshu stared at You Su for a moment, making him feel somewhat uneasy. He wondered if his Senior Sister was thinking of a way to turn him into a Junior Sister.

“Is it because men and women are different?”

Wait, so you knew all along?

“Exactly. Senior Sister, you must remember this. You are a woman, and you should maintain a certain distance from all men, including your Junior Brother.”

Heavenly Maiden Wangshu was silent for a moment before suddenly asking, “If men and women are different, why don’t you and your Junior Sister keep your distance? Why do you have to keep your distance from me?”

You Su’s eyebrows twitched. He didn’t know when his Senior Sister had learned that he didn’t keep his distance from his Junior Sister, so he replied, “Because Junior Sister is special to me.”

You Su kept his response simple with the word “special.” He could already imagine the chaos of trying to explain the complexities of love and relationships to his Senior Sister, only to be bombarded with endless questions.

“Oh.”

You Su sensed the disappointment in his Senior Sister’s tone and felt a pang of guilt. He quickly added, “Of course, Senior Sister is also special to me.”

“Mm, Junior Brother is also special,” Heavenly Maiden Wangshu replied quickly.

You Su felt a headache coming on, as if he were teaching Ji Lingruo arithmetic and being mentally assaulted by her foolishness.

“Of course, there are different kinds of special. The special relationship between me and Junior Sister is different from the one between you and me.”

“What’s the difference?” Heavenly Maiden Wangshu pressed.

You Su couldn’t help but rub his forehead. He didn’t want to dig himself deeper, so he said, “If Senior Sister is interested, I’ll tell you more about my story with Junior Sister later, and you’ll understand.”

“Mm, mm.” Heavenly Maiden Wangshu nodded twice, a first for her.

“In any case, if Senior Sister wants to be close to me, you can’t do it this way.”

“Then how should I do it?”

“You can patiently teach me cultivation techniques and sword skills to help me pass Master’s Wife’s examination. Helping each other as fellow disciples is the best way to be close.”

You Su deliberately ended this failed lesson and shifted the focus to having his Senior Sister teach him.

Although it was a serious matter, You Su couldn’t shake the feeling that he was deceiving an innocent girl. However, there was no other way. After all, he didn’t want to disappoint Master’s Wife when she came out of seclusion.

Heavenly Maiden Wangshu nodded and took out two books from a delicate pouch at her waist: The Foundation of Cultivation and The Essentials of Sword Techniques.

She opened one of the books and began to read slowly, “The sword is a weapon of elegance, embodying righteousness and sharpness within gentleness. When wielded with spirit, it connects to the divine; when infused with mystery, it reaches the profound…”

You Su was caught off guard by how quickly she had entered teaching mode. She was willing to read the book word by word for him, clearly aware that he couldn’t see.

Touched, he didn’t want his Senior Sister to overexert herself, so he reminded her:

“Senior Sister, you don’t need to read it to me. I can store it in my Dimensional Bag and read it with my spiritual sense.”

Heavenly Maiden Wangshu stopped reading and handed the book to him.

You Su stored the book in his Dimensional Bag and scanned it with his spiritual sense. To his shock, he found that the text was completely different from the demonic cultivation texts he had encountered before.

The texts in the demonic books were something he could naturally understand, but the words in these orthodox texts were incomprehensible to him!
