Chapter 244: Help Me Up, I Can Still Be Saved! 5

At the foot of Heaven Sword Sect's mountain were numerous mortal towns. After all, with the sect's proximity, most demons and monsters dared not approach. Moreover, if anything truly happened, the Immortal Lords would immediately intervene.

Su Tang was currently strolling through one such town.

Because of the proximity to the immortal sect, many young people liked to imitate their attire. At a glance, it almost felt like being within Heaven Sword Sect itself. Therefore, Su Tang had deliberately changed into a red dress before leaving, as dazzling and vibrant as a blossoming crabapple flower. Beside her, Mo Qinglan, though not wearing the Heaven Sword Sect uniform, was still dressed in plain white robes. However, some people were simply like that; even the most ordinary clothes looked elegant and handsome on them.

After only half a day of strolling, Su Tang's hands were filled with fresh flowers and fruits. Oh, perhaps "fruits" was more accurate, as she had given all the flowers to Mo Qinglan to carry.

She ate with great relish, while Mo Qinglan, holding flowers that nearly obscured his face, furrowed his brow slightly.

"Little Martial Aunt, I cannot accept these gifts without merit. If you desire anything, I will buy it for you."

Su Tang bit into a crisp and juicy jujube, smiling brightly.

Su Tang bit into a crisp and juicy jujube, smiling brightly. "Little Martial Nephew, one mustn't be too dull. These young ladies gifted you these presents because they admire you. If you refuse, they will be heartbroken."

Mo Qinglan's frown deepened. "But I do not have feelings for them."

Su Tang clicked her tongue. She understood these young ladies' thoughts. It was just like fans encountering their beloved idols in the modern era. As for gifts, the idols accepting them would only make the fans happier. As for whether they fantasized about being with their idols, although there were many who did, even without giving gifts, they would still think what they thought.

After all, this matter had nothing to do with gifts; it had to do with his attractive face that sparked such fantasies.

"The girls who fall for you are truly pitiful," she sighed, filled with sympathy.

Mo Qinglan only frowned, clearly disagreeing with her words.

He would cherish the person he loved, but if he didn't, he wouldn't spare them a second glance.

Somehow, two faces suddenly appeared in his mind. One was delicate and lovely, with a soft and gentle voice, who would look at him and sweetly call him "Brother Qinglan." The other was covered in pockmarks, so ugly it was almost painful to look at, perpetually hunched over, even her voice hoarse and rough, making one unwilling to listen.

Yet, it was these two people, during his most difficult times, one with an icy expression, past tenderness seeming like a joke, each memory sending chills down his spine in the midst of summer. The other, though not speaking sweet words nor possessing a beautiful face, ultimately sacrificed her life for him.

A sudden sharp pain pierced his heart, leaving it empty, the source of his sorrow unknown.

Su Tang, biting into a jujube, turned to see his unusual state. His usually clear, ink-like eyes were trembling. Such a person, who could he be yearning for?

"Speaking of which, I still don't know what type of young lady my Little Martial Nephew prefers."

Mo Qinglan replied, "Ugly ones."

He used to love Yun Qingchu, his fiancée, who was skilled at acting spoiled and sweet-talking, yet her heart was filled with malice. The more he loved her before, the more he loathed her now.

Su Tang almost choked on her jujube. "You prefer ugly ones?"

Mo Qinglan glanced sideways, finding this cheap Martial Aunt momentarily adorable. But it was only for a fleeting moment. He quickly averted his gaze, his eyes devoid of emotion. "Beautiful ones have venomous hearts."

Su Tang couldn't even bring herself to finish her jujube.

She had a feeling that the beautiful yet venomous person Mo Qinglan spoke of was her, and the ugly one was also her.

If he knew both were her…

The image was too beautiful; she dared not imagine it.

"Little Martial Aunt, where else would you like to go?" Mo Qinglan pursed his lips, feeling he had spoken too much today.

Su Tang quickly finished the jujube in her hand. "It's getting late, let's return."

Mo Qinglan breathed a sigh of relief. Although he approached her for the Nine Styles of the Heavenly Sword, he truly didn't want to accompany her shopping anymore.

Back at Heaven Sword Sect, after Su Tang's long shopping trip, her seven senior brothers were anxiously waiting for her in the courtyard.

The moment she returned, the Sect Leader pointed at her and scolded, "Little Junior Sister, where have you been! Do you know how fragile your body is right now?!"

The young ladies at the foot of the mountain were very enthusiastic. Su Tang was still carrying a basket of fresh fruit. Seeing him start to scold, she stuffed a jujube into his hand. "Senior Brother, have a jujube."

The Sect Leader's beard practically bristled with anger. Have a jujube? If she had any more jujubes, she'd be done for!

However, Su Tang remained unconcerned, even going so far as to stuff the remaining jujubes into the mouths of her senior brothers, completely oblivious to the danger she was in.

After finishing, she sighed, "My Little Martial Nephew's face is truly useful. A single trip down the mountain yields so many delicious treats."

The Sect Leader's face darkened. Had his Heaven Sword Sect's chief disciple been reduced to begging for food and drink down the mountain?

Just then, Mo Qinglan arrived, carrying the flowers. Su Tang had run off in a hurry, leaving the flowers behind. He had been temporarily called away by another junior brother, and after handling the matter, he could only bring the flowers over.

However, upon entering the courtyard, he felt something was amiss. Although Chu Yue was favored, there was no need to alarm all the Peak Lords of Heaven Sword Sect, even the Sect Leader was present, and his face was filled with anger. But upon closer inspection, worry was mixed within that anger.

What were they worried about? Were they worried about Chu Yue?

He observed them discreetly. "Little Martial Aunt, you forgot your flowers."

Su Tang accepted them with a smile. "Oh, Little Martial Nephew, I'm still lacking a vase here. Could you fetch one for me?"

She sent him away, and Mo Qinglan understood her intentions.

Subduing the expression in his eyes, he politely nodded and quickly disappeared from the courtyard.

Once he left, Su Tang immediately let out a sigh of relief. "Senior Brother, all seven Senior Brothers, I'm almost a hundred years old, can you please stop lecturing me like I'm a child? Look, my nephew almost saw that just now. I don't want to lose face."

The Sect Leader laughed in exasperation. "You're worse than when you were a child! I barely scolded you back then! But now, look at the things you've done!"

Su Tang looked aggrieved. "I was upholding justice! Besides, all of you Senior Brothers have achieved great things, but I'm the only one who hasn't accomplished anything. It's embarrassing for Heaven Sword Sect."

The former Chu Yue indeed wasn't as renowned as she was now. When speaking of Heaven Sword Sect, people mostly talked about the six Peak Lords and the Sect Leader. As for Chu Yue, she was only mentioned in passing. And because she hadn't yet established her own peak, many assumed her strength was lacking and that she wasn't favored by the Peak Lords.

Hearing her words, all seven were stunned.

They had only focused on pampering her before. If she didn't like managing affairs, they let her be. If she liked cultivating, they gave her time to seclude herself. They never realized that she was merely trying to keep up with them, even going so far as to confront the former Demon Lord alone.

So foolish, foolishly heartbreaking.

"You…" The Sect Leader looked at her, opened his mouth, and suddenly felt that his Little Junior Sister had grown up, no longer the little girl who would cry when she fell.

Mo Qinglan: I like ugly ones.

Su Tang: Ugly, beautiful, cute, I have every look you like~
