"Ah?"
Su Chen was stunned, his smile froze on his face. Seeing him like this, Yue Xianling pouted, "Does that mean you don’t like girls like your senior sister?"
"No, no, I just..."
Su Chen was flustered, his face slightly red, his heart pounding like a deer. He never expected Yue Xianling to ask him like that. Although he was a thousand times willing, how could he say it out loud?
"Just what? Do you mind that I’m older than you?"
Yue Xianling deliberately moved closer, speaking with a low tone.
Su Chen’s mind was in chaos, he could only shake his head repeatedly, "Senior sister, I didn’t mean it that way, don’t get me wrong."
"Hehe, I’m just teasing you, silly Su Chen!"
Yue Xianling suddenly displayed a fox-like smile, speaking nonchalantly, "Actually, the person I want to marry is a peerless hero. That way, I can live a carefree life every day!"
Su Chen was stunned again. Watching the dramatic change in Yue Xianling, and listening to her change what she said, a thought suddenly surged in his heart. Could he be the hero who would become stronger for her?
"Senior sister, I want to ask you a question."
Su Chen looked at the golden shimmering lake, asking thoughtfully.
Yue Xianling took a small bite of the sweet biscuit, replying cheerfully, "Sure, what’s your question?"
"Have you ever been very close to Bu Xie in the past..."
"I have nothing with him, Su Chen, why would you ask that?"
Unexpectedly, Yue Xianling denied it flatly and even returned the question. Su Chen hesitated, "I... I’m just curious..."
"Haha, he is he, I am me, we have no relation."
Yue Xianling carelessly ate the sweet biscuit, then tore a small piece and held it near Huanhuan’s mouth, "Come on, Huanhuan, let sister feed you a sweet biscuit~" Su Chen couldn’t help but smile, perhaps feeling the topic was too out of place, he suddenly asked, "Senior sister, do you know what the nine floors above the Sword Casting Pavilion are used for?"
Yue Xianling glanced at him, speaking casually, "Sure, it’s for storing other treasures."
"Treasures?"
Su Chen was immediately intrigued.
"Mm, Dad told me it’s where Grandmaster Ling creates various weapons, there are all kinds of armaments, precious spiritual artifacts and spiritual treasures. Dad also said it’s a pity there is no supreme, which is Grandmaster Ling’s lifelong regret."
Su Chen gazed distantly at the pagoda-like Sword Casting Pavilion across the lake, towering seven floors high, surprisingly holding nothing but weapons? That must mean a vast quantity!
"And they are arranged according to the level of importance."
Yue Xianling saw Su Chen’s curiosity and continued, "The second floor is for weapons of upper, middle, and lower grades, the third floor is spiritual artifacts, the fourth floor is lower-grade spiritual treasures, the fifth floor is mid-grade spiritual treasures, the ninth floor is top-grade spiritual treasures, and as for the seventh floor..."
"What is it?"
Su Chen was eager to know, looking expectant.
"It’s a box for holding a supreme treasure, unfortunately, there’s never been anything placed inside..."
Yue Xianling spoke with a disappointed tone.
Su Chen slightly opened his mouth, unable to speak for a while. In his mind, he recalled Elder Ling’s somber smile the day he failed to forge a supreme item, he suddenly felt his heart being pricked, lightly aching.
"Supreme... I will definitely help Grandmaster Ling forge a supreme one in the future!"
Su Chen muttered softly to himself.
Elder Ling’s farewell
"Su Chen, what are you whispering about?"
Yue Xianling looked at Su Chen curiously.
Su Chen shook his head, his expression gradually calming down, he smiled, "Thank you for the introduction, senior sister, but since master just came out, aren’t you planning to go back and accompany him?"
"Dad has mom with him, that’s enough. I might become a nuisance if I go, Su Chen, why are you in such a hurry to push me back?"
Yue Xianling was a bit puzzled.
Su Chen chuckled awkwardly, finishing the rest of the sweet biscuit in one bite, "Nothing, just speaking off the cuff."
"Really, then look at me when you say it, I want to see if you’re lying?"
Yue Xianling suddenly cupped Su Chen’s face, making him face her directly.
Su Chen’s face turned red all at once, visibly flustered, yet not daring to struggle, "Senior sister, there’s no need for this, I’m telling the truth."
Yue Xianling ignored him, pouting, "Then look into my eyes and say it again."
Her breath brushed against his face, carrying a faint scent of perfume mixed with the unique fragrance of a young girl, making Su Chen’s heart race. The face as delicate as jade, flawless features, and icy hands holding his cheeks left Su Chen utterly helpless.
"Hey, senior sister, there’s someone across the lake!"
Just as Yue Xianling was feeling triumphant, Su Chen suddenly exclaimed, she reluctantly let go of him and turned towards the lake.
Sure enough, a towering figure stood outside the Sword Casting Pavilion, silently observing them. Instantly, a blush appeared on Yue Xianling’s jade-like face.
"It’s Grandmaster Ling, what perfect timing."
She sighed, helplessly sitting on the grass, "Su Chen, it seems like Grandmaster Ling wants you to go over."
"I think so too, why else would he be staring at me?"
Su Chen mumbled, though a bit hesitant, Yue Xianling casually smiled, "You should hurry over, come back to find me afterwards, I still have to wait for Manman to wake up to give it sweet biscuits!"
Su Chen gratefully smiled, preparing to rush towards the arch bridge.
"Wait!"
Yue Xianling called out again.
"What’s up, senior sister?"
Su Chen asked begrudgingly.
"Drink this bottle of Hundred Flowers Wine first, I brewed it with much effort!"
Yue Xianling took a delicate small bottle from the purple cloth, Su Chen hurriedly took it, uncorked it, and drank it down.
