Don't be afraid, fairy, I'm blind

Chapter 369: The Voice of the Master's Wife

Outside the secret realm.

The Master of Mathematical Olympiad pinched his fingers, raised the corners of his lips, and muttered to himself:

"Looks like it's been resolved."

He sensed that You Su had torn up the communication talisman, and he also sensed the disappearance of this secret realm.

The Master of Mathematical Olympiads stood like a peak, and raised his right hand gently, as if he was carrying a heavy weight, yet he seemed to be able to do it with ease. In his palm, suddenly, a wheel made up of countless complex and mysterious lines slowly emerged, with a faint light flowing on it, like the trajectory of stars, revealing an indescribable power.

The wheel spun gently, and each turn was accompanied by a low and long humming sound, as if a real gear was spinning. A hole was cut silently into the iceberg in the snow valley in front of him, and its edge was as smooth as a mirror, without any flaws.

The city lord and the boss of Xuexiangju were stunned. The Master of Olympiad's precise control of power was awe-inspiring.

In this shocking scene, You Su slowly walked out of the cave, half of his face still hidden under the slightly wide collar, his eyes lowered, calm and composed, as if he had just returned from a leisurely stroll, unaware of the amazement and surprise around him. His steps were light, and each step was firm and solid on the snow, showing a calm and relaxed attitude.

The city lord and the owner of Xuexiangju outside the cave witnessed this scene, their faces filled with disbelief and shock. Their eyes moved back and forth between You Su and Master Aoshu, their hearts surging with turbulent waves.

The fact that You Su was able to walk out alive from the dangerous snow valley and icebergs not only exceeded their expectations, but also made them have a deeper understanding and awe of the powerful strength of Master O'Mathematics.

Has he already figured all this out?

City Lord Qi Tai and Xuexiangju owner Li Ming stared at You Su, who had walked out of the secret realm unscathed, and the Ao Mathematics Master beside him, who had a smile on his face. The sun shone through the sparse clouds and fell on the two of them, adding a strange glow to the tense atmosphere.

They hurried forward, and the compliments in their words fell like the endless drizzle in spring.

"Oh, it's true that a good teacher produces an excellent student! Your Excellency, your disciple is simply a god who has descended from heaven. He escaped from that secret realm full of dangers with ease. I really admire him!" Qi Tai said as he bowed, the smile on his face almost overflowing, his eyes flashing with desire for power and fear of the Master of Mathematics.

Li Ming was not willing to be left behind and followed closely behind, his voice trembling with excitement: "Yes, yes, yes! Your Excellency's disciple will definitely become a great figure like you in the future, famous throughout the five continents and feared by all directions!"

Upon hearing this, the smile on the corner of Master Ao Mathematics's mouth widened, but he did not comment. His eyes stayed on You Su for a moment, with both relief and helplessness in his eyes. Then he slowly turned to Qi Tai and Li Ming, and there seemed to be a hidden meaning and calculation behind that smile.

Qi Tai plucked up his courage and said tentatively: "Your Excellency, it is our honor to have you come to Shuocheng to check the accounts. Now that the evil spirit has been eliminated, and you have gladly accepted our 'little gift', I believe you will be able to give Shenshan a satisfactory answer. As for the cooperation we discussed before..." He deliberately dragged out the tone, staring at the face of the Venerable Ao Shu, trying to catch a sign of satisfaction.

However, Master Olympiad's expression suddenly darkened, and his tone was full of sarcasm:

"Oh? The evil spirit has been eliminated? A greeting gift? Cooperation? City Lord Qi, I am completely confused by what you are saying."

Qi Tai's heart tightened, and an ominous premonition came to his mind. He tried to remain calm and explained: "Your Excellency, what you said... You sent your disciples to kill the evil spirit, isn't that equivalent to accepting the gift from my master? If we accept the gift, of course we are in the same group... Your Excellency, rest assured, there will be more gifts like this in the future."

"What you mean is that my disciple deserved to die in the trap you set? If I solve the evil spirit myself, it will be a gift from you? Do you think my disciple has to leave the evil spirit alive after he comes out? Whether it is a gift or a show of power is not up to you to decide."

The Master of Olympiads sneered, his voice like a sharp blade in the cold wind:

"As for the so-called cooperation? That's just your own words. I act uprightly, how could I associate with such petty thieves like you?"

Qi Tai's face turned pale instantly. He never expected that Master Aoshu would be so direct. He tried to save the situation, with a tremor in his voice:
"Your Excellency, what do you mean? My master is sincere... Besides, it's just five years of tax silver... My master promised that if you let us go this time, five years, just give us another five years, and Shuo City will pay an additional twenty years of taxes!"

But Master Ao Shu had obviously lost his patience. He interrupted Qi Tai coldly, "That's just five years of tax silver. Do you know how many people died of starvation and freezing in the snow because of your casual words? Do you think I really came here for your money? Your Shuo City is thriving, but why are the deaths in the villages and tribes around your Shuo City and even in Shuo City increasing day by day? You can pay the money, but can you pay their lives?!"

"Your Excellency... they are just mortals... just like the snow grass, if you plant them every few years, they will always grow again. We have survived all these years in this bitter and cold place of Beiaozhou. No matter if two more or two less die, they will never die out..." Li Ming was also giving earnest advice, and what he said was all from his heart.

But who would have thought that as soon as the sincere voice fell, the figure of the Master of Mathematics suddenly became blurred, as if he had merged into the air. The next moment, he appeared behind Li Ming, and with a light wave of his hand, a powerful force instantly burst out, smashing Li Ming's head to pieces. Blood was like a blooming red flower, splashing on the white snow, and Li Ming's body collapsed weakly, with no vitality at all.

All this happened so suddenly that the crowd didn't even have time to let out a cry of surprise. When they came to their senses, the Master of Aoshu had already withdrawn his hand, and the cold expression on his face was like he had become a different person.

"Please thank your master for the 'greeting gift' on my behalf. This is my return gift." The voice of the Master of Mathematics was as cold as ice.

The meeting gift is certainly not a meeting gift, but a show of power.

Qi Tai looked at Li Ming's body on the ground, his heart filled with unprecedented fear and despair. He knew that the Mathematical Olympiad Master and his teacher probably had no chance of redemption. And he, an insignificant little flag, was destined to be inevitably dragged into it, unable to control himself.

The Master of Mathematical Olympiad did not give up. He slowly walked towards Qi Tai. Every step seemed to step on Qi Tai's heartstrings, making him feel more and more depressed and heavy.

"Your Excellency... I have not evaded taxes in Shuo City. You cannot execute me privately..."

The trembling city lord tried to awaken the sanity of Master Ao Shu. No matter how powerful a cultivator is, he cannot kill local officials casually. This is one of the iron laws of the Divine Mountain.

"City Lord Qi," Master Ao Shu regained his warm smile, giving people a sense of being harmless, which made Qi Tai feel a little relieved.

"Your Snow Village tea comes from this secret realm, but this secret realm was built by evil demons. You are a cultivator in the Feather Transformation Realm and were born in the Divine Mountain. You should know the inspection and reporting procedures after discovering a secret realm. But you did nothing at all. It is clear that you knew about it but did not report it. As the city lord, you took the lead in seeking evil fruits from the evil nest and selling them to civilians. I have sufficient reason to suspect that you are colluding with the evil spirits. From this moment on, your position as city lord is invalidated until the Divine Mountain sends people to investigate. I will temporarily take over your position as city lord." Master Ao Shu smiled and patted Qi Tai on the shoulder.

Qi Tai was shaking all over, his lips quivering, "Your Excellency, you are too kind... How would I know if this secret realm is an evil nest... At most, I just wanted to embezzle the secret realm, which is a small crime... There are many people like this, right? Haha, Your Excellency, please don't scare me."

Now that the evil spirits have been exorcised and the secret realm no longer exists, it is naturally impossible to prove whether it is an evil tide. This is also the basis for Qi Tai's excuse.

“Dabang, take out the talisman and let him die knowingly.” Master Aoshu ordered casually.

You Su stepped forward and spread out the communication talisman that Master Ao Shu had given him.

Qi Tai then discovered in despair that this was not a communication talisman at all, but a precious ink-leaving talisman. On the talisman paper, there was a pool of wriggling black blood, which was the ironclad evidence left by the black jellyfish in the cave.

……

That night, at the City Lord’s Mansion.

You Su was sitting in the previous room, while Bai Ze was lying on the tea table, rolling around in boredom.

Unlike before, You Su opened the window today and looked at the bright stars and moon outside.

"Why are you opening the window? Aren't you afraid of the cold?" Bai Ze is the spirit of the snowy mountain and is not afraid of the snow and cold, so it doesn't care whether the window is opened or not; it is just curious.

"You've been stuck in the room all day, and the room is full of your stench. Let me get some fresh air." You Su even pretended to pinch his nose.

Bai Ze was so angry that his teeth were bared. "Don't talk nonsense! There is no smell on me!"

You Su secretly found it funny. Although Bai Ze could speak human language, it didn't seem to have a swearing module loaded. As a result, he could feel that it was very angry every time, but its rebuttal was weak, which was quite interesting.

However, the next sentence from the little beast made You Su unable to hold back.

"You are the one who smells! You don't smell smelly, but you are fishy! The quilt you slept in smells like sea fish!" Bai Ze looked at You Su suspiciously, and suddenly stretched out his cat claws to point at You Su and said, "Did you hide fish behind my back? No wonder there was a bulge in your pants this morning!"

You Su's face was full of black lines. He coughed a few times pretending to be calm. "What good things I have, didn't I give them to you? I thought I didn't know that you hid half a goose egg that day? Also, that's not fishy smell, that's sweat. I expel the impurities in my body when I practice, so there is a little smell. I'll ask someone to change the bed sheets later, and then prepare hot water for a bath. If you dislike it, just get off the bed and sleep in the corner by yourself."

You Su was in a good mood today and was too lazy to argue with this little divine beast that knew nothing.

He has always had a physique with abundant yang energy. With the help of his fellow junior and senior sisters in Zhongyuan Continent, not only has his cultivation improved by leaps and bounds, but his physical condition has also been maintained in a stable state.

Now that there is no way to consume Yang Qi, but with the suppression of the ice and snow in Beiaozhou, it is still possible to hold on. However, when Yang Qi is full, even if you don't actively consume it, the body will spontaneously expel it from time to time, which is also helpless.

In short, living conditions are better now, and it is much easier to change the lining and wash yourself frequently.

"You closed the window not because you're afraid of the cold, but because you're afraid of others seeing it. Am I right?" Bai Ze jumped onto the window eaves and looked at the beautiful scene of stars, moon and falling snow in the courtyard.

You Su raised an eyebrow, "You still have some humanity."

"Pah." Bai Ze was dismissive of You Su's compliments, "So you opened the window not because you're afraid of the heat, but because you're afraid of being seen, right?"

You Su smiled, "It is a foregone conclusion that the city lord is colluding with the evil spirits. That Taoist Hua has taken over the City Lord's Mansion in Shuo City. Under the name of investigating evil spirits, Taoist Hua can investigate more things he wants to investigate, and others have no reason to refuse. Now that Taoist Hua is the boss in this city, we can follow him and naturally be bolder."

"Really?!" Bai Ze turned around excitedly, his cat eyes sparkling, "Then can I go out and play too?"

"If I find out that you, a cat, have sneaked out, I will no longer want you and will leave you to fend for yourself," You Su threatened.

You Su's words sounded like a threat, but in fact he was telling Bai Ze that if he followed him obediently and disguised himself as a white cat, then it would not be a big deal to go out for a walk in the current situation.

Bai Ze licked his paws, showing his not-so-sharp nails, "I! Am! Not! A! Cat!"

"Whoever meows when sleeping is a cat." You Su shattered the little white cat's insistence.

Bai Ze gnashed his teeth in hatred and retorted, "Why? Are you so reluctant to part with this divine beast? Do you really want me to travel with you?"

"I think you are too stupid and too weak. If you seek death, you will most likely be caught. Regardless of whether I am willing to save you or not, it will probably be very troublesome to save you. I don't like to do troublesome things." You Su took a sip of cold tea and closed the window again.

"Don't expect this beast to save you one day!"

Bai Ze looked at himself being locked up again and suddenly felt inexplicably wronged.

"I beg you not to save me." You Su had already stood up, ready to meditate for a while, but his answer was still cold.

But... Bai Ze looked at the large piece of dried venison that appeared next to his paw at some point, and his little grievance was immediately washed away by happiness.

It was locked in the room for the whole day and naturally had no source of food. I thought it would starve until tomorrow, but I didn't expect You Su to forget to bring back its favorite food.

It felt like it was a small animal nestling in its den, and You Su was the leader out hunting... Pah! It was a servant!

You Su closed his eyes and looked at the black jellyfish that appeared under the command of the Golden Paper Dream Master in his mind, looking forward to what new abilities it would bring to him.

But before his sea of ​​consciousness had been connected to the golden hydra for long, You Su suddenly felt something was wrong.

There seemed to be a faint sound coming from my ear.

It was a female voice as gentle as water, with a sorrow like falling flowers.

"Su'er..."
