Chapter 464: Handsome and Dashing, Like a Jade Tree in the Wind
Yu Zhao and Du Wu Xiang lifted their heads in shock.

Neither of them could believe that sticky, mushy voice had actually come out of Ancestor Sui Bian’s mouth.

Ancestor Fei Hong, however, acted like this was nothing strange. He even let out a light laugh and stepped up the long staircase.

Yu Zhao had imagined what it would be like when Senior Qun Fang and Ancestor Sui Bian met again. Old friends reunited should have endless things to talk about.

However, when she stepped onto the last step, a loud slap suddenly rang by her ear.

Right after that came an angry shout, bursting beside her: “Scram!”

Before Yu Zhao could even see what was going on, a powerful force flung her straight off the mountain.

With the wind howling past her ears, she looked up at the sky.

Right above her was a round, dark silhouette.

[Yu Zhao was completely confused.]

The group of people at the foot of the mountain still had not left.

They happened to see Yu Zhao and Ancestor Sui Bian reappear in front of them in a very unexpected way.

Everyone stared at each other, you look at me, I look at you, not knowing what to say.

Ancestor Sui Bian let out an awkward laugh and explained: “Ha, haha, this is just a joke between Elder Qun Fang and me. We used to mess around like this all the time.”

The crowd mumbled vaguely in reply: “We understand, we understand.”

Everyone answered in a muddled way, pretending not to see the bright red handprint on Ancestor Sui Bian’s face.

Ancestor Sui Bian cleared his throat and said: “Ahem, Qun Fang is not in a good mood today. You can first arrange a casual place for us to stay. I will go up to see her another day.”

The people of Lingyin Sect agreed to this very readily.

Yu Zhao and Ancestor Sui Bian were quickly placed on the peak farthest from where Senior Qun Fang lived.

After they politely said their goodbyes, Yu Zhao looked at Ancestor Sui Bian with a questioning expression.

Ancestor Sui Bian rubbed his head, still a bit upset, and grumbled: “Don’t look at me. I have no idea what is going on. Qun Fang used to have a fiery temper, sure, but I did not provoke her this time.”

Yu Zhao thought for a moment, then asked carefully: “After that dangerous incident, did you send Senior Qun Fang a message to say you were safe?”

Ancestor Sui Bian’s face froze, and he said: “Oh no, I forgot.”

He rummaged inside his sleeve for a long time and finally pulled out a Transmission Talisman carved with a peony.

He tapped it with his fingertip and poured a strand of Spirit Power into it.

Right away, the Transmission Talisman began to flash wildly.

Ancestor Qun Fang’s voice kept coming out from inside. Her anxious voice poured from the talisman: “Sui Bian, what tricks are you playing again? What are you trying to say, what did you mean just now? Sui Bian, where are you, don’t scare me! Sui Bian, just try dying once! Sui Bian, you bastard…”

Her words cut off halfway.

It was because Ancestor Sui Bian had cut off the connection with the Transmission Talisman.

He wore the expression of a man with disaster looming over his head and paced around the room in a panic.

He muttered in despair: “Done for, done for, I’m dead this time! I really offended that Grand Auntie! Now never mind asking her for help, I do not even know if she will agree to see me!”

[Yu Zhao was speechless.]

Although she was Ancestor Sui Bian’s junior, even she felt he had gone too far this time.

He had left behind one vague sentence and then never sent another word.

The people who cared about him had been left to wait every day in fearful uncertainty.

Yu Zhao spoke softly to comfort him: “Think of a way to apologize to Senior Qun Fang and make it up to her. Maybe she will forgive you.”

Ancestor Sui Bian wiped his face and said: “That is the only thing I can do.”

Ancestor Sui Bian wiped his face again. Thinking of the bouquet inside his Storage Space, he felt a bit more confident.

However, when he remembered Ancestor Fei Hong who was still up on the mountain, that confidence vanished by more than half.

He grumbled: “That Fei Hong fellow looks like a proper gentleman, but he is actually the most scheming one. This time he caught something on me, I don’t know how many bad things he will make up about me in front of Qun Fang. When we were kicked down the mountain just now, I should have dragged him down with me. That was a mistake, a mistake.”

Yu Zhao had already felt the atmosphere between Ancestor Sui Bian and Ancestor Fei Hong was strange. Now that she heard this, she knew there was indeed bad blood between them.

She could not help asking: “Do you have a grudge with Ancestor Fei Hong?”

Ancestor Sui Bian snorted hard and declared: “Hmph, he has improper thoughts about Qun Fang!” Then he immediately started laughing proudly and added: “Too bad for him he ran into me, this Ancestor. He never had a chance of winning.”

Yu Zhao thought of Ancestor Fei Hong, tall and straight like jade, full of heroic bearing. Then she looked at the round and plump, blessed looking Ancestor in front of her, and the corner of her eye twitched.

Ancestor Sui Bian saw her expression and exploded: “Yu Zhao! What kind of look is that? You actually don’t believe your Ancestor’s words!” He jumped up in anger and shouted: “I will prove it to you right now!”

Yu Zhao quickly tried to stop him and said: “There is no need…”

But Yu Zhao had no time to stop him. Ancestor Sui Bian had already fished another Transmission Talisman out of his sleeve.

He poured Spirit Power into it and activated it.

He shouted into it: “Old Black Daoist! Old Black Daoist!”

As soon as he finished speaking, a voice replied on the other end of the Transmission Talisman.

The rough voice shouted: “Old Man Sui Bian, you are back from the dead!”

Ancestor Sui Bian waved that aside and demanded: “Don’t talk nonsense. Let me ask you, how do I look?”

The other person sounded puzzled as he replied: “Why are you asking that? Did you meet another old flame?”

Ancestor Sui Bian snapped impatiently: “Never mind that, just answer first!”

The voice on the other end sounded confused, but he still replied: “Handsome and dashing, like a jade tree in the wind.”

After he said that, he even added: “Are you doing this on purpose to show off to me? So what if you look handsome!”

Ancestor Sui Bian cut off the Transmission Talisman, very satisfied, then turned to Yu Zhao and asked: “Well? Do you believe it now?”

[Yu Zhao had no idea what to say.]

[So is there something wrong with my sense of beauty?]

Ancestor Sui Bian puffed up his chest and said: “To tell you the truth, in my younger years I was a famous jade-like young man. So many young women fell at my feet, but I was not moved by any of them.”

Yu Zhao thought of the row of Transmission Talismans hidden up Ancestor Sui Bian’s sleeve.

Yu Zhao felt dazed.

Yu Zhao was deeply shocked.

Yu Zhao gathered her thoughts and said: “Ancestor, since Senior Qun Fang has such strong feelings for you, then she must just be angry right now. As long as you sincerely apologize and humble yourself, she will definitely forgive you.”

After pondering for a long time, Yu Zhao decided not to keep worrying about issues of taste. Since she had come to Lingyin Sect, her main goal should be solving the problem of the Jade Ruyi and breaking the barrier formation on the storage bracelet.

Having regained his confidence from just now, Ancestor Sui Bian patted his chest and promised: “Relax, I will definitely gain Qun Fang’s forgiveness. Just wait for my good news.”

After saying that, he strode out full of confidence.

About the time it takes one stick of incense to burn later, Ancestor Sui Bian came back with his head drooping, two new palm prints on his face.

He slumped down and said: “She refuses to see me.”

Yu Zhao encouraged him: “Ancestor, the more angry Senior Qun Fang is, the more it shows she cares about you. You must not give up and let her feelings go to waste.”

Ancestor Sui Bian straightened up and said: “You are right. It is only two… ahem, it is only letting her vent a bit. How could I blame her.”

Ancestor Sui Bian’s spirits rose again, and he turned and left the room.

Another stick of incense worth of time passed.

Ancestor Sui Bian limped back, speaking hesitantly: “S-she still refuses to forgive me.”

Yu Zhao reminded softly: “Ancestor, Ancestor Fei Hong is still up there.”

Ancestor Sui Bian’s eyes widened, and he showed the look of a man going to his death.

He gritted his teeth and declared: “If she does not forgive me, then I will not come back!”

Yu Zhao quickly said: “Ancestor, Senior Qun Fang will definitely see your sincerity. Just go without worry!”

[Yu Zhao would secretly pray for him in her heart.]

She did not dare say that last sentence in front of him, only repeated it silently inside.

As she watched the Ancestor’s figure slowly go into the distance, Yu Zhao actually felt a faint sense of a hero who would never return.

She sighed in her heart: [I hope Senior Qun Fang will think of their old ties and go easy on him.]
