2445 Painting Immortal’s Thoughts

Sword Immortal Yue Hua looked in the direction where Fairy Mo Qing left with a terrible expression.

Before long, a cultivator sped over.

This person was also a legacy disciple named Xiao Li. After joining the legacy ground, he had always followed Sword Immortal Yue Hua and obeyed his orders.

“Where did she go?”

Sword Immortal Yue Hua asked in a deep voice.

Xiao Li said, “I saw Senior Sister Mo Qing head to the inner sect of the academy with my own eyes. It was in the direction of Su Zimo’s cave abode.”

“Him again!”

Sword Immortal Yue Hua frowned.

Xiao Li was puzzled as well. “From what I know, this is already Senior Sister Mo Qing’s second time going to Su Zimo’s cave abode.”

Sword Immortal Yue Hua’s expression was dark and he remained silent, deep in thought.

Xiao Li said in a deep voice, “Senior Sister Mo Qing has an aloof personality and doesn’t like to interact with others. She has always been alone and has never taken the initiative to head to anyone’s cave abode in the legacy ground. Why did she head to the inner sect of the academy twice to look for Su Zimo?”

“I might have been wrong.”

Suddenly, Sword Immortal Yue Hua said, “Because of the previous rumors, I subconsciously thought that there was something between Mo Qing and Yang Ruoxu.”

“However, all these years, after Yang Ruoxu entered the Perfected One realm and became a legacy disciple, he became extremely close to Princess Scarlet Rainbow of the inner sect of the academy. The only thing missing is an official declaration from both of them that they are Dao companions.”

Xiao Li nodded. “It’s impossible between Senior Sister Mo Qing and Yang Ruoxu.”

Sword Immortal Yue Hua said, “I’ve just recalled carefully. Actually, there was another person at the scene when Mo Qing appeared twice to save Yang Ruoxu.”

“Su Zimo?”

Xiao Li probed.

Sword Immortal Yue Hua nodded and narrowed his eyes slightly. “Several thousand years ago, at the Immortal Sect Selection, for some unknown reason, Mo Qing suddenly appeared and descended upon the Coiling Dragon Mountain Range to save Yang Ruoxu. However, the cause of that conflict was Su Zimo!”

“Thereafter, during the conflict in the outer sect of the academy, Yang Ruoxu was present as were we. That was when Mo Qing appeared once more. However, the root of that conflict was Su Zimo once again!”

“The person Mo Qing truly saved the past two times was Su Zimo!”

Xiao Li frowned. “Senior Sister Mo Qing and Su Zimo? Senior Sister Mo Qing is an expert of the Perfected One Hollow Nether realm and is one of the four great fairies. Su Zimo has just entered the Heaven Essence realm not long ago. The difference between them is too great, right?”

Sword Immortal Yue Hua harrumphed coldly. “Don’t forget, Su Zimo once condensed the tenth stone step of the Dao Heart Stairs. Unprecedentedly, he was even accepted by master as an in-name disciple!”

“In terms of status, he’s not much inferior to us.”

“However, how can Su Zimo compare to you, senior brother?”

Xiao Li still could not understand and shook his head. “His cultivation realm, status, background, reputation, glory, connections and faction… he doesn’t have any advantage in anything. Compared to you, he’s worlds apart!”

“Senior Sister Mo Qing isn’t blind. Why would she fancy Su Zimo?”

The moment he said that, Sword Immortal Yue Hua wavered once more and said deeply, “Your words are extremely pertinent and make absolute sense. Compared to me, Su Zimo is indeed way too inferior.”

Xiao Li said, “Perhaps there’s nothing between Senior Sister Mo Qing and Su Zimo to begin with. Previously, there were many rumors about Senior Sister Mo Qing and Yang Ruoxu as well. However, now that we look back at them, weren’t they just rumors and nonsense?”

“Yes… perhaps I’m being overly suspicious.”

Sword Immortal Yue Hua seemed to be in deep thought. “However, I always have the nagging feeling that I seem to have seen Su Zimo somewhere before…”

After Su Zimo brought Tao Yao back to Heaven and Earth Academy, he headed straight for his cave abode and did not appear for a few days.

Firstly, he had appeared in Langfeng City as a disciple of the academy. Now that such a huge thing had happened in the Jade Firmament Immortal Domain, he wanted to avoid the limelight and wait and see.

However, after a few days of observation, he realized that his worries were completely unfounded.

Compared to the appearance of the Fiend Domain’s Desolate Martial and his massacre, no one cared about anything else.

Even Lin Lei and his sister were barely discussed, let alone him.

Secondly, he had a lot to catch up with Tao Yao after such a long time.

Su Zimo intended to keep Tao Yao by his side for the time being.

He had to remind Tao Yao about some things lest the latter encountered any trouble in Heaven and Earth Academy.

Under normal circumstances, inner sect disciples like him could choose a hundred immortal servants from the academy.

However, he had too many secrets and there was no way he could have implicit trust on any immortal servant.

Therefore, his cave abode had been extremely deserted all these years. He was the only one and had to deal with all the chores and trivial matters himself.

Now that Tao Yao was by his side, he could save himself a lot of trouble and instill a bit of human warmth as well.

Thirdly, he had benefited immensely from this trip to the Jade Firmament Immortal Domain.

His cultivation realm had already risen to the level of a Grade 5 Heaven Immortal.

For treasures alone, there was the Immortal Willow, Bodhi Seed, Grand Pure Purple Cloud Talisman and an immortal peach seedling.

In terms of cultivation techniques, he obtained the Jade Pure Jade Manual and also the Dharmic Dao of the Twilight Drum. All of that required a large amount of time to cultivate and consolidate.

Of course, the greatest gain of the Jade Firmament Immortal Domain was the recovery of Tao Yao.

Apart from the Ashoka Tree from before, there were now two more immortal trees in the cave abode.

All these years, the Ashoka Tree showed no signs of resurrection.

Su Zimo decided to plant the withered branch of the Immortal Willow and the immortal peach seedling he obtained and wait and see.

For the past few days, Tao Yao would visit the three immortal trees from time to time and take good care of them.

On the couch in the cave abode, Su Zimo held the Bodhi Seed in his hands and was browsing through the Jade Pure Jade Manual. Suddenly, his heart skipped a beat as he heard a message from outside the cave abode.

“Senior Sister Mo Qing?”

After pondering for a moment, Su Zimo stood up and went outside the cave abode to welcome Senior Sister Mo Qing in.

If it was anyone else, Su Zimo would most likely ignore them.

However, Senior Sister Mo Qing had saved him twice after all and the two of them had even gone through thick and thin in Avici.

After Mo Qing sat down, she took the initiative to speak without exchanging pleasantries. “I heard about what happened in the Jade Firmament Immortal Domain. You were there too, right?”

“Ah…”

Su Zimo was stunned.

For the past few days, everyone in the academy had been discussing Desolate Martial of the Fiend Domain and no one paid attention to him. This was the first time someone had asked about this matter.

‘Does the fact that she suddenly asked that means that she’s already suspicious of me and Desolate Martial?’

Su Zimo’s heart skipped a beat.

After all, in both Avici and Langfeng City, he was present at the same time as the Martial Dao Prime Body—it was indeed easy for people to make connections.

“Ha! That’s a coincidence.”

Su Zimo laughed and said vaguely, “By some freak coincidence, I happened to be in Langfeng City at that time. Who knew that Desolate Martial would suddenly charge over. I heard that it was because a Dao child that served him was captured by the City Lord of Langfeng City.”

“The battle was intense and chaotic at that time, so I did not have the time to chat with him.”

Mo Qing had a calm expression as she acknowledged. “The news I saw in the messenger jade scroll was not detailed. Tell me more about the situation.”

“Mmm?”

Su Zimo was at a loss.

From Senior Sister Mo Qing’s expression, it seemed like she did not suspect him. In that case, why did she suddenly head over to ask about such a thing?

Su Zimo could not understand Mo Qing’s thoughts and could only recount the entire situation from the perspective of a bystander.

Fairy Mo Qing was engrossed at the side. From time to time, a look would flash through her beautiful eyes and a faint smile would appear on her lips.
