Volume 2: Water Moon Cave Chapter 2 White-haired Su Yi
After Min Xuelou knelt down, Fu Xuan also knelt down and said, "This matter is definitely not the fault of Senior Sister Min alone. As the head of the sect, I should bear the main responsibility."
Seeing this, Mu Yuehua was about to kneel down to take the blame and beg for mercy, but was secretly stopped by Mu Chunhua .
Mu Chunhua felt that if they all knelt down to ask the master to punish them and plead for mercy for Min Xuelou, it would be suspected that they were forcing the master together, which might really anger the master.
Xu Lai did not kneel down either, but stood there with his head lowered like a quail.
At this time Wu Yue spoke again and said, "Master said, don't kneel down at every turn. He just wants to know why."
Min Xuelou was about to speak, but Fu Xuan spoke first: "Master, sixteen years ago, our sect experienced an incident. In order to prevent similar incidents from happening again, I discussed with several elders and decided to only accept female disciples from now on."
Min Xuelou reacted and quickly interrupted, "Master, I have already informed you of the accident that year. The accident was caused by me, and it was my suggestion to only accept female disciples. The head of the sect was just forced to make the decision."
Fu Xuan added: "I was not forced to make this decision... In addition to preventing similar incidents from happening again, it was also because the majority of Wuji Dao members at that time were women, and the martial arts we brought were also suitable for women to practice, so..."
“Grandmaster…”
Min Xuelou wanted to interrupt again but was interrupted by Wu Yue.
"That's enough." Wu Yue looked at the others and said, "Master said he would ask Senior Sister Su Yi about this matter... Min Xuelou will be questioned for his misconduct in front of Master, and will reflect on it for a day. As for the others, please leave."
"yes."
Seeing that Min Xuelou was punished, no one dared to say anything more and they all retreated.
Even Tiexiong was sent away by Wu Yue with a look.
When there was no one else in the hall, Wu Yue let out a sigh of relief - even though she was just a messenger, it was her first time experiencing that kind of scene, and she almost couldn't hold on.
Then she asked carefully, "Master, are you okay?"
Su Yan sent a voice message: "I'm fine, and I'm not angry. You can go out too... When Su Yi comes out of seclusion, let her come to see me."
"yes."
After responding, Wu Yue also left the Wuji Palace.
Su Yan was indeed not angry - he already knew about what happened sixteen years ago. Although Min Xuelou was primarily responsible for the incident, she was already punished by stepping down as the head of the sect.
Another point is that the second reason given by Fu Xuan is very reasonable.
When Su Yi escaped from Kunwu Mountain with these disciples, he definitely couldn't bring many secret books with him, or even no secret books at all.
Among the disciples who escaped, Su Yi had the highest martial arts skills and seniority, and most of them were women, so naturally the martial arts they knew were suitable for women to practice.
In this case, recruiting more female disciples became inevitable.
But now that he is back, those lost secrets are now available again.
As for whether the secret book would fall into the hands of the Golden Sword Sect or the Tianle Palace, Su Yan felt that with his teachings and the intelligence of several disciples, they should know to burn down the Wuzang Tower where the secret book was stored when Kunwu Mountain could no longer be defended.
However, when he calmed down and scanned the dozens of tablets on the altar behind him with his spiritual sense, especially the tablets of several true disciples, he still felt a little uncomfortable. At the same time, the murderous intent in his heart became stronger.
"Tianle Palace... I will make you regret it."
…
In the cave, Su Yi slowly exhaled and finished his practice.
She just felt uneasy. Not only did she find it difficult to suppress the innate true qi when practicing, but she almost lost control of her own true qi.
Fortunately, she had refined her Qi to be extremely pure, and was able to control the situation easily. Otherwise, she would have been injured again.
Su Yi tucked a strand of silver hair hanging from her temple behind her ear and frowned slightly as she began to think.
"Why are you so upset? Did Xue Lou and the others get into trouble in Wu City?"
Thinking of this, Su Yi couldn't sit still anymore and stood up and walked out of the cave.
This cave was dug by her specifically for her retreat. It was built on a relatively dry cliff three meters above the ground.
Although only a wooden door was installed, the cave was dug quite deep, so it was very quiet inside and would basically not be affected by outside sounds.
After walking out of the cave and jumping down as light as a feather, Su Yi noticed Mu Chunhua who was standing beside him.
She was about to ask Mu Chunhua whether her trip to Wucheng went smoothly, but Mu Chunhua spoke first.
"Master, the Grandmaster is back!"
Su Yi was stunned for a moment, wondering if he had really gone too far in his practice and was hallucinating. He asked hurriedly, "What did you say?"
"The Grandmaster is back!" Mu Chunhua repeated excitedly, "The Grandmaster is not dead, he has returned from overseas and is now in the Wuji Palace!"
Su Yi heard it clearly this time, but was also stunned for a moment.
Seeing Su Yi's petrified look, Mu Chunhua couldn't help but ask worriedly, "Master, are you okay?"
Su Yi came back to his senses, looked up at the sky, then looked around the valley, then pinched his arm hard to make sure he was not dreaming, but still asked again: "Is everything you said true?"
"Really!" Mu Chunhua said affirmatively, "He is waiting for you in Wuji Palace!"
After getting the confirming answer again, Su Yi's eyes were filled with tears and he immediately flew towards Wuji Palace.
The door to the main hall of Wuji Palace was open. When Su Yi walked to the door, he saw someone sitting cross-legged at the table.
His appearance had hardly changed compared to thirty-three years ago, so Su Yi was sure at a glance that this man was her mentor, Su Yan.
“Master!”
After shouting with sobs, Su Yi could no longer hold back and ran towards Su Yan, tears streaming down her face.
When she came to the wooden table, she couldn't help but put her arms around Su Yan's neck, buried her head in Su Yan's shoulder and cried bitterly.
After crying for quite a while, she realized something was wrong - her master had no reaction at all, and even had no heartbeat or breathing!
"Master, could it be that..."
Su Yi couldn't help but come up with a terrible guess, and she didn't even dare to think further.
However , at this moment, a familiar voice appeared directly in her mind.
"Yier, I'm sorry you've suffered so much over the years."
The reason why Su Yan didn't send a voice transmission to talk to Su Yi right away was because he didn't expect Su Yi to become like this, so that he was in a trance just now.
Before this, his impression of Su Yi was still that of a seventeen or eighteen-year-old girl.
Although he knew that thirty-three years had passed and Su Yi was fifty years old, even ordinary internal skills practiced by martial artists could help maintain their appearance. Wuji Gong was a pure Taoist Qigong method and was even more effective in maintaining health. This could be seen from the appearance of Min Xuelou and Fu Xuan.
Therefore, he thought that Su Yi should look similar to Min Xuelou. After all, she was only three or four years older than Min Xuelou.
However, the Su Yi in front of him had a head full of white hair, a thin body, and a bad complexion. Even without the white hair, he looked like he was in his forties.
Su Yan thought about it for a moment and realized that this was caused by the torture of Su Yi from the innate true qi in his body.
In addition, she is the only first-generation disciple of Wuji Dao in public and the one with the longest seniority. She is under tremendous psychological pressure, so it would be strange if she could maintain her appearance.
At this time, Su Yi barely stopped crying. Seeing that Su Yan still had his eyes closed, she became even more worried and asked hurriedly, "Master, what's wrong with you?"
Su Yan explained as briefly as possible: "I was attacked by a sea beast and was seriously injured. When I fled to a deserted island, I found that my injuries were difficult to heal, so I used a secret technique to put my body into a state of suspended animation to preserve my life.
As a result, when I regained consciousness, it was thirty years later. I found that my body was still in a state of suspended animation, while my consciousness had transformed into spiritual consciousness.
Therefore, I am now unable to move my body, and I can't even hear, see, or speak, but I can communicate with people within three meters through telepathy."
Su Yi didn't expect Su Yan to be so miserable and become completely paralyzed. The tears that had just stopped falling started to fall again.
The sufferings of the past twenty or thirty years had already made her very tough and she didn't cry easily. It was probably after meeting her master that she suddenly became fragile.
But she quickly stopped crying, grabbed Su Yan's arm and said, "Master, don't worry, even if you can't move, I will take good care of you."
Seeing Su Yi like this, and hearing her words, Su Yan couldn't help but sigh and said, "Silly child, since I used that secret technique, I have already thought of a way to deal with it... As long as the time is right, I can regain control of my body."
Su Yan's words were not entirely for Su Yi's safety, because he had high hopes for this sect simulator. He felt that as long as he continued to upgrade the sect and unlocked more "goods" in the mall, he would always be able to find a way to regain control of his body.
Su Yi looked better after hearing this, and immediately asked, "Master, what do you mean by the time is right?"
Su Yan said: "You don't need to worry about this... I heard that you have been tortured by a strand of alien innate true qi for twenty-seven or twenty-eight years. Your master happens to have a Qi Transformation Pill here, which can help you transform this strand of alien innate true qi into your own and increase your own true qi."
After he finished saying this, a small emerald green jade bottle appeared on the table in front of Su Yan.
There are three words engraved on the bottle, which are "Huaqi Dan".
