Chapter 247: Chapter 246: Senior Sister, Don’t You Think That Person Is Strange?

On the way to the Sealing Altar, Su Qi couldn’t help but ask Jingyue, "Senior Sister, don’t you think that man is very strange?"

Jingyue said, "Which one? The one who stole the show but won’t show his face? He’s always been strange."

Su Qi shook her head. "Not that kind of strange. It’s... an indescribable kind of strange."

Jingyue glanced at Su Qi. "What? Is he your husband?"

Su Qi rolled her eyes. "Senior Sister, can you not drag my husband into everything?"

"If he wasn’t your husband, why would you be so interested in someone else?" Jingyue retorted irritably.

Su Qi sighed. "Senior Sister, I’m not an idiot. I just find it strange. Some things, and some people, you need to be wary of."

Su Qi just felt that the man was very odd, but she couldn’t put her finger on why.

She had a feeling that the person was deliberately avoiding them. ’Yes, that seems to be it.’ But it was still strange.

Su Qi couldn’t figure it out, so she decided to stop thinking about it.

’I should just think about my husband instead.’

At that moment, Jingyue asked, "If that man was your husband, would you be happy?"

"I wouldn’t be," Su Qi answered without hesitation.

Jingyue was surprised. "Why not?"

"Because he’s too much of a show-off. What does he want to be so powerful for? To start a harem like in some anime? Dream on." Su Qi pouted. "Besides, if he really were my husband, it would mean he lied to my face. I’d get so angry I’d break his legs."

Jingyue gave Su Qi a teasing look and finally said, "I don’t believe you’d have the heart to do it."

Su Qi pursed her lips. ’Why wouldn’t she believe me? I could just feed my husband some painkillers first, then some medicine to help his injuries recover. Then I’d break his legs, and he’d be fine after a dozen or so days of recovery. Just to teach him a lesson.’

Not long after, Jingyue and Su Qi arrived at the location of the Seal.

When they got there, they found that most of the people from the Crossing the Tribulation group were there, including their Martial Uncle.

Just then, Lan Yue asked Jian Shisan, "Senior, is my little sister going to be okay?"

Jian Shisan shook his head. "It’s not a major problem, but she won’t be able to leave this place for now."

"Then when can she leave? Is it dangerous to stay here?" Zi Feng asked.

Yin Li smiled. "Big Sister, I’m fine. It doesn’t hurt at all. I just can’t move."

Lan Yue crouched in front of Yin Li, feeling she had wronged her sister. She hadn’t spent much time with her as she was growing up.

However, her own consciousness had been unstable before, so naturally, she wouldn’t have thought about it so much.

But she still blamed herself.

Jian Shisan said, "Rest assured, the Sealing Array will slowly suppress the Heart of the Abyss. When the issue is resolved, this young friend will naturally be freed. Also, you don’t have to worry about the aura of the Abyss here. It can’t get in."

Hearing this, Lan Yue felt much more at ease. 𝗳𝐫𝚎𝗲𝚠𝚎𝗯𝕟𝐨𝘃𝚎𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝗺

Yin Li, on the other hand, asked, "In that case, can I go into seclusion?"

Jian Shisan thought for a moment and said, "You can."

"Really?"

Yin Li was thrilled. As long as she could go into seclusion, it was all good.

In fact, Lan Yue had been planning to stay and keep Yin Li company.

But Yin Li insisted on going into seclusion, which left Lan Yue feeling helpless.

After saying goodbye to Lan Yue, Yin Li quickly entered a state of seclusion. She even had Lan Yue set up various "do not disturb" arrays for her.

This was a habit of hers whenever she went into seclusion. Without them, she couldn’t feel at ease and always felt like she would be disturbed.

Only after they were done with Yin Li’s matter did Jingyue approach Jian Shisan. "Martial Uncle, we came here specifically to find you."

Jingyue was feeling especially awful at the moment. She was still in her transformed state, but her injuries hadn’t healed, and she was in a lot of pain.

This was a classic case of suffering in silence just to save face.

Jian Shisan nodded. "I already know the gist of what happened. If possible, let’s set off for the Holy Land as soon as we can."

Jian Shisan was eager to return right away, but considering the complicated affairs of these juniors, he could only delay.

Jingyue nodded. "We’ll go back whenever Martial Uncle thinks is best. By the way, what about the person who was with you?"

Jingyue was still very curious about that person. It wasn’t just her; everyone was curious. His uniqueness was plain for all to see.

Jian Shisan shook his head. "He has already left. It won’t be easy to see him."

Then, Jingyue turned to Chi Xue Child. "Fellow Daoist Chi Xue, what about the big shot from your group? Didn’t you come here together?"

’Why is this Saintess so sharp?’ In the end, Chi Xue Child said, "We split up when we went to get the Glazed Bracelet."

Jingyue nodded and didn’t say anything more. Heaven knows what she was thinking.

After that, everyone left, except for Lan Yue, who planned to stay here for a while.

Jian Shisan left with Jingyue and Su Qi. Zi Feng also left with his people. They seemed to be in a hurry, probably because they had something to attend to.

After they got out, Jingyue changed back. She draped herself over Su Qi and cried, "I’m exhausted!"

"Senior Sister, Martial Uncle is still here," Su Qi whispered.

Jian Shisan shook his head. "Pay me no mind. Go and prepare whatever you need. We will gather here tomorrow morning, and I will take you back to the Holy Land."

Almost everyone in the Holy Land knew that the Saintess had two forms. It was no secret.

At this point, Su Qi said cautiously, "Martial Uncle, um, I’ll need to bring someone else with me. It’s my hus... It’s my Dual Cultivation Companion."

Jian Shisan simply nodded, showing no particular reaction.

Neither Su Qi nor Jingyue knew what he was thinking.

After that, they bid farewell to Jian Shisan, who had his own places to be.

After leaving Jian Shisan, Su Qi asked worriedly, "Senior Sister, do you think Martial Uncle is an easy person to talk to? When he sees that my husband is an ordinary person, do you think he’ll be scornful?

Maybe you guys should go back first, and we’ll follow later."

Jingyue shook her head. "I don’t think it’ll be that bad. Master seems to have a good impression of Martial Uncle, so from that, he probably isn’t that kind of person."

Su Qi was still uneasy. "How many Cultivators actually look up to ordinary people?

You, for one, look down on my husband, Senior Sister."

Jingyue retorted irritably, "I’m being objective, okay? When have I ever looked down on him?

When analyzing the situation, you have to look at it from an ordinary person’s perspective. You can’t put your husband on the same level as a Cultivator.

After finding out about Cultivation, it’s very normal to yearn for it. You can’t think that just because he has you, he doesn’t need anything else.

That’s not right. A wife can’t be eaten for dinner, right? And if she could, that would be a whole different kind of problem."

There’s no such thing as a perfect person in this world. Even Su Qi had many flaws; it was just that her good qualities far outweighed her bad ones.

Pointing out someone’s flaws doesn’t necessarily mean you look down on them; it can just be an objective observation.

Looking down on someone means you scorn them from the bottom of your heart.

However, as Cultivators, it was indeed difficult to see ordinary people as their equals.

This was unavoidable.

After all, their ways of life were completely different.

It wasn’t so much looking down on them, but rather, not paying them any mind.

Therefore, in Jingyue’s opinion, their Martial Uncle wouldn’t say or do anything to Su Qi’s husband. As long as her husband didn’t provoke him, he wouldn’t pay him any attention at all.
