225: wake

Chapter 225: Awakening

Qingyun Mountain Range.

“Hmm…”

Su Han let out a soft hum.

At this moment, he only felt his head was incredibly heavy and muddled, as if he had just experienced a night of heavy drinking. The throbbing pain and dizziness made him feel somewhat disoriented for a while.

Su Han struggled to open his eyelids, which felt as heavy as a thousand jin. At first, his vision was a chaotic blur, unable to see anything clearly.

After a good while, the familiar carved bed curtains in front of him gradually became clear.

And the faint bamboo fragrance lingering around his nose, thread by thread...

Made him realize that this didn't seem to be Tongtian Peak, but his own room on Xiao Zhu Peak.

“How did I get back to Xiao Zhu Peak from Tongtian Peak?”

Su Han wondered.

But before his thoughts could gather and sort out the current situation, a soft, gentle, and warm call, like a spring breeze, wafted from the side.

“Su Han, you’re awake!”

Su Han turned his head towards the voice, and it was his Shifu (Master), Shui Yue.

She was wearing a simple white robe, her sleeves fluttering, like a celestial maiden descending to the mortal world.

Her usually cold and frosty face was now filled with concern, and her clear, autumn-water-like eyes seemed to overflow with worry.

She quickly put down the bowl of porridge in her hand and stepped forward.

Before she could stand still, she couldn't wait to reach out and gently place her hand on Su Han's forehead.

Her delicate and slender fingers touched him cautiously, like a butterfly dipping into water. After confirming that Su Han was fine, she finally let out a slight sigh of relief, and her expression softened a bit.

Su Han opened his mouth, only to feel his throat was as dry as if it had been roasted by fire. Every swallow caused a painful tug, and the sound he made was terribly hoarse.

“Shifu (Master), I… how am I on Xiao Zhu Peak?”

“How long have I been unconscious? Now… now what time is it?”

As he spoke, he tried to clear his throat, but unexpectedly triggered a violent coughing fit. He coughed so hard that his body trembled slightly, and the smell of blood spread.

Seeing this, Shui Yue quickly and gently helped Su Han up, steadily supporting his back with her arm, and helped him lean against the headboard.

She then thoughtfully pulled the quilt over and carefully tucked in the corners for him.

Only then did she say softly, “That small courtyard on Tongtian Peak was ravaged by the Heavenly Tribulation and is completely ruined. Naturally, it's uninhabitable.”

“And you were unconscious at the time, Shifu (Master) was truly worried, so I brought you back to Xiao Zhu Peak.”

“As for how long you were unconscious?”

“Counting it, it’s been a full day and more.”

As Shui Yue spoke, she gently patted Su Han's back, easing his cough.

“More than a day?”

Upon hearing this, Su Han was full of surprise and quickly asked, “Then… then the Seven Peaks Tournament isn’t over yet?”

“It is indeed over.”

Shui Yue nodded slightly, her hair swaying gently with the movement, and nodded, “Just now, Xiao Shi sent news that the results of the Seven Peaks Tournament have been decided.”

“The first place is Xue Qi. You know that girl's strength; she usually Cultivates very diligently.”

“This time, with your guidance, she performed exceptionally well during the competition.”

Su Han nodded slightly upon hearing this.

Shui Yue then continued, “The second place is the original favorite for the championship, Qi Hao of Dragon Head Peak.”

“His talent is already good, and he has been cultivating for a long time, so this result is expected.”

“As for the third place, it is Zeng Shushu, the son of Head Seat Zeng Shuchang of Fenghui Peak.”

“And for the last fourth place, it surprisingly went to that Disciple from Da Zhu Peak with mediocre talent who went up the mountain with you, Zhang Xiaofan.”

Hearing Shui Yue finish speaking, Su Han sighed softly, “Is that so.”

Su Han was not surprised by Lu Xueqi's victory.

After all, the current Nai Qi, under Su Han's influence, had long deviated from the original trajectory. Her path of cultivation was as smooth as sailing with the current, and her talent was like bamboo shoots sprouting after rain, fully revealed.

Especially with the 'Taishang Sword Canon', the Sword Immortal Dao method that Su Han taught her and was very suitable for her, it was like giving wings to a tiger.

Therefore, it was reasonable for her to defeat Qi Hao.

Su Han was just surprised that Zhang Xiaofan was still fourth, just as he had speculated before, and couldn't help but marvel at the powerful talent of the Child of Destiny.

After all, this time, Zhang Xiaofan not only lost the Great Brahma Wisdom, but also lost the Soul Eater as his trump card.

Yet, despite this...

Zhang Xiaofan was still able to rely on his Heaven-Defying luck to directly Rank fourth after competing with two little-known Disciples.

This luck was truly too “favored” him.

However, Su Han quickly stopped dwelling on it. After all, his own Child of Destiny attribute level was higher now.

Compared to himself, Zhang Xiaofan was the unlucky one, and there was absolutely no need to worry.

Therefore, Su Han asked Shui Yue again, “Then Shifu (Master), what about the competition between our Qingyun Sect and Incense Valley?”

“Is there a result yet?”

Shui Yue shook her head, “Not yet, but it should have already started.”

As she spoke, Shui Yue saw Su Han's worry and quickly said again, “Su Han, you don't need to worry.”

“With Xue Qi there, I don't think anyone from Incense Valley can defeat her. You just rest assured and wait for our Qingyun Sect to achieve a great victory.”

Saying this, she gently patted Su Han's back, making him lie down properly.

Then she withdrew her arm and walked towards the table, “Come, Su Han.”

“This is the spiritual porridge Shifu (Master) specially prepared for you. Drink some first.”

Su Han heard this and shook his head, “Shifu (Master), I think it’s better if I go and see.”

“After all, I think this competition might not be that simple.”

Su Han was a little worried. After all, Incense Valley couldn't possibly not want to win...

So before coming, they would definitely make some special preparations for the Disciples participating in the competition.

And Qingyun Sect, because of Su Han, had not made any preparations in advance at all.

After all, no matter how much they prepared, they were ultimately only in the Jade Purity Realm. The gap in Realm was there, and they were completely no match for Su Han in the Shangqing Realm.

But now...

If Su Han wasn't there, the outcome would be hard to predict.

Thinking this, Su Han supported himself with both hands on the bed and tried to get up.

Shui Yue's delicate brows furrowed slightly. She walked back to the bedside in a few steps, pressed down on Su Han's shoulder, her voice full of worry.

“Su Han, don't force yourself.”

“If you force yourself to get up now, you might leave behind a lingering illness, and your future cultivation path will be full of thorns.”

As she spoke, she picked up the spiritual porridge again, stirred it gently with a spoon. The spoon and bowl collided, making a clear sound, and wisps of hot steam rose.

“Drink this spiritual porridge first to moisten your throat and replenish your vital energy.”

Su Han still shook his head, “Shifu (Master), the matter of destroying the Ten Thousand Poison Sect ultimately started because of me, and this competition concerns the honor and disgrace of Qingyun Sect. I must go and see.”

Su Han's brows were tightly furrowed, revealing a hint of unquestionable determination.

“But…”

Shui Yue still wanted to persuade him.

But she also knew very well Su Han's character; once he made a decision, no one could persuade him otherwise.

Ultimately.

Shui Yue sighed softly, agreeing with full of helplessness, “Alright then.”

“Just don't force yourself. If you feel unwell, come back immediately.”

Su Han nodded, “Don't worry, Shifu (Master).”

Soon, the two left the room. Shui Yue carried Su Han on her sword and headed towards Tongtian Peak.

A gentle breeze brushed past, and Su Han's clothes fluttered. At this moment, sitting on Shui Yue's Flying Sword, he finally had time to carefully examine the Ni Lin Sword in his hand, his eyes full of anticipation.

“I wonder after being tempered by the heavenly lightning…”

“What is the grade of the current Ni Lin Sword? And what kind of power will it possess?”
