Does anyone actually Believes That My Master Is A Mortal?

Misty Mountain, Wayless Sect.

Inside Su Xi's chambers.

Su Xi was entertaining her third senior brother and fourth senior sister.

That is, Su Qianyuan and Dantai Luoxue.

Among them, Su Qianyuan kept instructing Su Xi on various matters, fearing that other disciples would disturb the Respected Master's seclusion once he and Dantai Luoxue left.

Su Xi was listening attentively.

"Fifth Junior Sister, you must remember, especially that Sixth Junior Brother, he always seems so jumpy. Pay extra attention to him,"

Su Qianyuan droned on with his advice.

"Mhm, Senior Brother, I know."

Su Xi didn't feel impatient at all. She sat there obediently, nodding her head constantly.

"Oh, also, when you have time, you should meet with Sixth Junior Brother. I believe you two haven't met yet,"

Su Qianyuan added after recalling this point.

"Mhm, Senior Brother, I understand."

Su Xi continued to nod.

Su Qianyuan wanted to say more.

But Dantai Luoxue stopped him.

"Alright, third Senior Brother, you've been going on for almost half an hour now. Fifth Junior Sister can handle any other matters by herself, there's no need for so much instruction. If you keep this up, not only will you tire yourself out, but Fifth Junior Sister will probably get annoyed as well,"

Dantai Luoxue said with a shake of her head.

"It's fine, it's fine. Third Senior Brother is just looking out for me,"

Su Xi quickly interjected.

She hadn't felt cared for like this in a long time.

Being constantly instructed by Su Qianyuan, she harbored no resentment; on the contrary, her heart was filled with warmth.

"Ahem, I did perhaps speak too much. It's good that Fifth Sister doesn't mind. Alright then, I'll let fourth Senior Sister take over,"

Su Qianyuan, realizing he had been somewhat nagging, coughed twice and ceded the floor to Dantai Luoxue.

"Mhm, Fourth Senior Sister, do you have anything to add?"

Su Xi sat up straight and listened intently.

"No, no, I'm not as talkative as third Senior Brother. I'm just a bit curious about the way you follow, Junior Sister,"

Dantai Luoxue, sitting next to Su Xi, said with a light chuckle.

"Curious?"

Su Xi was somewhat puzzled.

"Yes, I'm curious about the way you cultivate, Junior Sister. Could you explain it to me?"

Dantai Luoxue asked softly.

Upon hearing this,

Su Xi froze for a moment before responding quickly with a nod.

"Of course, I can, of course, I can."

"Senior Sister, my way is nothing extraordinary, just the Way of the Puppet. The Way of the Puppet involves certain matters related to fate, so the strings I've cultivated can manipulate the fates of others."

"Only by starting from the aspect of fate, can one subtly control others and turn them into puppets, to be used by me."

Su Xi explained to Dantai Luoxue.

She spoke of it quite lightly.

But Dantai Luoxue, listening to her, was quite surprised.

Controlling others by manipulating fate...

This Junior Sister...

Was truly somewhat terrifying.

After listening,

Dantai Luoxue's curiosity wasn't reduced but intensified instead.

"Junior Sister, I was wondering if you'd be interested in sparring with me? I am very eager to see for myself what these strings of fate you speak of really look like,"

Dantai Luoxue voiced her proposal.

"Ah? Sparring?"

Su Xi wanted to decline but didn't quite know how to voice her refusal.

"Yes, just a friendly spar. Don't worry, Junior Sister, I won't be using my full strength. I just want to see what these strings of fate you mentioned are really like,"

Dantai Luoxue assured her repeatedly.

With the conversation having reached this point,

Su Xi found it hard to refuse anymore and nodded in agreement.

After a bit more talking, they decided to head to an open area at the foot of the mountain for a friendly spar.

Su Qianyuan was also idly bored, so he decided to tag along with the two, planning to enjoy the show with some snacks.

When the group reached the Grand Hall Square,

Su Qianyuan suddenly called out to the two.

"Junior Sisters, wait for me a moment."

After saying this, Su Qianyuan ran towards the kitchen.

Dantai Luoxue and Su Xi exchanged glances, somewhat puzzled.

They had no idea what Su Qianyuan was up to.

They weren't in a hurry, so they stood waiting in place.

After waiting for a while,

they saw Su Qianyuan returning.

They were about to ask him what he had been doing.

But when they saw what Su Qianyuan was holding in his hands, everything became clear.

They saw Su Qianyuan carrying a large melon of an unknown variety in his left hand, with a small stool in his right, running back.

This...

This...

This...

Dantai Luoxue and Su Xi were both somewhat speechless and didn't know what to say.

"Let's go, Junior Sisters, let's head down the mountain," Su Qianyuan said, oblivious and cheerful.

Upon hearing this,

they had nothing else to say and got up to walk down the mountain.

The group set off again.

This time, they walked straight from the top of the mountain to its base.

When they arrived at an open space, they stopped.

"Shall we do it here? Junior Sister, what do you think?" Su Qianyuan asked Dantai Luoxue, who turned her head toward Su Xi.

"Just follow Senior Sister's arrangements,"

Su Xi dared not refuse.

"Well... then prepare yourself, Junior Sister. At least, don't stand so close, who spars this close to each other?" Dantai Luoxue said with a mix of amusement and frustration.

She looked down at the distance less than a meter between herself and Su Xi.

How were they supposed to spar at this distance? Was it going to be close-quarters combat?

"Oh, oh, okay," Su Xi quickly ran to the other side.

The sight almost made Dantai Luoxue not want to use too much force anymore.

She couldn't help but find her Junior Sister adorable.

Sentimental as she was,

her actions were swift.

Dantai Luoxue took down her hair tie, unleashing her beautiful long hair, then she leaped into the sky, pulled out the World Chessboard, and tossed it into the air.

Boom...

The World Chessboard shone brilliantly in the void, then disappeared into nothingness.

The next moment, golden patterns appeared from nowhere, rapidly extending across the ground, intersecting and weaving into countless lines of a chessboard.

At the edges of the open space, towering walls rose, reaching the skies.

A chessboard was formed on the ground, creating a world of its own.

Dantai Luoxue herself was surrounded by countless flickering lights, looking like a deity overseeing the mortal realm.

She gazed indifferently at Su Xi below, not resorting to any celestial rejection tactics, simply waiting quietly for Su Xi to make a move.

She didn't want to go all out against Su Xi.

But...

Dantai Luoxue cast a sidelong glance at Su Qianyuan, who was sitting on the stool eating his melon, and flicked her finger.

A wave of repulsion from the World Chessboard headed straight for Su Qianyuan.

Caught off guard, Su Qianyuan was knocked to the ground, his melon dropped, and he looked up at Dantai Luoxue with a clueless expression.

I'm just eating melon here, what does it have to do with me?

Are you taking your sparring out on me too???

I didn't offend anyone, right...
