26: Chapter 26 Mandarin Duck Pavilion: Is This Too Much Interference?
"Beauty Yu, people from your Mandarin Duck Pavilion may leave now," Wonderful Sword True Lord conceded.
Beauty Yu chuckled lightly, lightly covering her lips with her slender, onion-like fingers. "Su Ninger, aren't you coming back?"
Upon hearing this, Su Ninger immediately picked up her son.
Although Su Xin was still slender and thin, he was a man, and appearing this way looked somewhat comical.
Su Xin, who hadn't been held by his mother since he was four, had a dark face that turned bright red. "Mother, put me down! I can walk by myself."
Su Ninger dared not, watching Wonderful Sword True Lord with vigilant eyes.
She was afraid that if she let go, her son would be snatched away.
She was a person of the Mandarin Duck Pavilion, and the Pavilion Revered Master would protect her, but her son was not.
She could only use her own body to shield her son, standing in front of him to block any malicious interception.
Wonderful Sword True Lord frowned, glancing at Beauty Yu on the tall building not far away. Seeing her listlessly playing with the pair of gold and jade bracelets, her expression grew increasingly solemn.
Her long sword hummed with unwillingness by her side.
This was the tragedy of a Loose Cultivator.
Even a Golden Core True Lord dared not make a move against a Qi Refining Disciple who came from a major power.
Wonderful Sword True Lord dared not, but Elder He dared... but...
Elder He stared rapturously at Beauty Yu's playfully raised, long, beautiful legs. The thin gauze slipped down, exposing her fair, smooth skin to the air.
His gaze traveled up from her playfully twitching, rounded toes to her slender ankle, which could be encircled by a single thin hand.
Further up was her calf, lustrously white and almost reflecting light.
Elder He's gaze lingered on her calf, unwilling to move away.
But above the calf was the delicate, tight thigh, adjacent to scenery that made one yearn even more.
Even though it couldn't be seen, it led to endless reverie.
So, how could he have the mind to pursue Su Xin, who was just a minor figure?
The real big fish were Luo Yunkai and his son.
What could Su Xin, who was allowed to be released as bait, possibly know? It was better to do Beauty Yu a favor.
So, although Elder He appeared consumed by lust, in reality... he was still consumed by lust!
"No, no! You can't let him go!"
Beauty Yu let out a soft 'Oh?' and looked at the person who spoke, surprised to see a young man.
She turned back and asked the maid behind her, "Could it be that my charm is not as good as it used to be?"
The maid respectfully replied, "Beauty's charm is even greater than before."
Beauty Yu tapped her jade finger lightly. "Then why is he being disobedient?"
The maid answered rigidly, "Perhaps he is blind."
Beauty Yu laughed happily, her clear laughter echoing across half of Qingyun City, enchanting the Divine Souls of countless male Cultivators.
"Hee hee hee..."
The more she laughed, the more frightened Bai Ji's Dao Protector became.
Bai Ji covered his mouth, spitting out a mouthful of black blood, his face growing paler.
In the face of life and death, what did beauty matter? It was just a withered bone under the rouge.
"Mo Huang, I have already contacted my Revered Master. I believe my Revered Master will arrive soon and will surely uphold justice for me!"
These words were said for Beauty Yu to hear.
Beauty Yu clicked her tongue. "True Monarch Qingyun, it has been a while since I last saw him. Waiting a bit won't hurt."
Su Ninger understood the Pavilion Revered Master's meaning. Tears welled up in her eyes, which seemed capable of speech, but she didn't dare say another word. She silently stopped walking and carefully took out an engraved, ornate bed from her Storage Pouch, which resembled a moving house.
Pink light gauze fluttered over the bed, and the beauties in the court lady paintings on the gauze seemed to come alive, dancing gracefully.
This was a scene usually only seen within the Mandarin Duck Pavilion.
Su Ninger carefully placed her son on the bed. Partially concealed by the pink court lady painting gauze curtains, even Su Xin, a youth, displayed a hint of exceptional beauty.
Beauty Yu's eyes lit up. She stroked her chin. "How did I not notice that Su Ninger's son has such good looks?"
"Look at the gazes of those Cultivators, tsk. Should our Mandarin Duck Pavilion recruit some male Cultivators? No, no, female Cultivators have corresponding Cultivation Techniques, but male Cultivators do not."
"However, a Cultivation Technique can certainly be devised."
Su Xin inexplicably felt a chill and pulled the Mandarin Duck quilt covering him tighter.
"Little Xin, what's wrong?" Su Ninger asked worriedly.
Su Xin shook his head. He thought perhaps it was because he had lost his spiritual power and couldn't maintain body temperature.
He wouldn't tell his mother to avoid worrying her.
They waited for half a day.
As the sun set and rose again, in the faint light of dawn, the pressure of a Golden Core approached.
The hand playing with the gold and jade rings in Beauty Yu's grip paused, the smile on her lips fading slightly. "True Monarch Qingyun, is he coming with ill intent?"
She slowly stood up. "I don't mind replacing the True Monarch Qingyun of the Qingyun Sect."
As soon as these words were spoken, the Golden Core pressure seemed to freeze.
Every Sect Master of the Qingyun Sect was called True Monarch Qingyun.
This was a naked threat.
And the Mandarin Duck Pavilion was capable of doing it!
He obediently retracted his pressure, arriving without any major disturbance, hovering in the air.
Beauty Yu showed satisfaction, her smile growing wider. "Your Disciple said you would come to uphold justice for him, and you indeed came."
True Monarch Qingyun cast a stern gaze toward Bai Ji and his Dao Protector.
The Dao Protector gave a wry smile.
Bai Ji was also anxious, especially since Beauty Yu's arrogant attitude hadn't lessened after his Revered Master arrived.
His thoughts raced, and he spoke, "Revered Master, please allow me to report. Your Disciple was struck by a poisoned hidden weapon from an Outer Sect Disciple. My spiritual power is completely gone now, and I dare not move, so I sought Revered Master's help."
True Monarch Qingyun was greatly shocked when he heard this. This was a single Spiritual Root Genius he had painstakingly recruited into the Sect!
Ignoring the dignity of a Golden Core True Lord, he instantly appeared before Bai Ji.
He tested with spiritual power and confirmed it. Indeed, a tyrannical toxin was raging inside his Disciple's body, corroding the spiritual power, which was now corroding the spiritual power integrated into his flesh and bone.
True Monarch Qingyun glared. "What a vicious toxin! It actually intends to destroy your Foundation!"
Bai Ji trembled. "Revered Master, can it not be cured?"
True Monarch Qingyun comforted him. "Don't worry, this poison can be forced out by your Revered Master."
Bai Ji finally relaxed.
"Thank you, Revered Master."
True Monarch Qingyun's expression turned ugly. "Which Outer Sect Disciple dared to use such vicious means against you? I will purge the Sect!"
Beauty Yu frowned slightly.
This was troublesome.
She could kill True Monarch Qingyun for disrespecting her, but she couldn't interfere with the Qingyun Sect's internal affairs!
She cast a worried glance at Su Ninger and her son, lightly tapping her thigh with her slender jade finger, contemplating a countermeasure.
Before she could think of a countermeasure, True Monarch Qingyun attacked Su Xin.
Beauty Yu decisively threw the gold and jade ring from her wrist to block the attack.
"Pavilion Revered Master Yu, this is an internal matter for my Qingyun Sect. Are you also going to interfere?"
"Is the Mandarin Duck Pavilion interfering too much?"
Even Elder He, who was infatuated with Beauty Yu, could not tolerate her action, silently standing behind True Monarch Qingyun.
Bai Ji wore a faint smile at the corner of his mouth, looking at Su Xin on the bed draped with pink gauze as if looking at a dead man.
"No! No!" Su Ninger spread her arms, her frail body trembling slightly, shielding Su Xin.
"Don't kill my son! I'll do anything!" Su Ninger wept, the red gauze on her shoulder slipping down, exposing her snow-white, fragrant shoulder.
Beauty Yu sighed softly and beckoned. Su Ninger floated away uncontrollably.
"No! Pavilion Revered Master..."
True Monarch Qingyun coldly formed a hand seal, and a large cluster of ice spikes appeared above his head.
With a movement of his hand, the ice spikes rained down violently toward the ornate bed draped in pink gauze.
Su Ninger struggled, reaching out toward Su Xin's direction, crying out mournfully, "No!"
"To save a life, one million!"
