Chapter 337: The Number One Beauty of the Southern Region

Everyone chimed in, "Indeed," and some even stood there dazed, unable to come back to their senses for a long time.

Those who did recover their senses remarked, "She is truly deserving of being the person who is only a step behind the number one peerless beauty of the Southern Region, the Sect Master of the Celestial Maiden Sect."

That's right; that position had always belonged to Ling Wanqing, and no one could shake or compare to her. However, ever since the news of Ling Wanqing's fall arrived, it had become Yue Xin's.

The commotion caused by Bai Zhi's arrival at the Profound Heaven Sect was also just a small interlude in this Three Sect Competition.

Seeing this scene, Su Yu did not linger for long.

"Let's go."

Ling Wanqing nodded. "Alright."

Watching Yue Xin leave in the sky above, Ling Wanqing didn't know why she breathed a sigh of relief.

This caused her to feel a rare hint of nervousness.

The two of them returned to the courtyard, and also returned to their daily life.

Just like that, half a year flashed by.

Ling Wanqing looked at the scenery outside the window; midsummer had arrived, and everything outside looked lush and green, full of vitality.

Ling Wanqing checked the injuries within her body; the recovery was now halfway to what she had expected, which was about what she had anticipated.

Ling Wanqing stared blankly at the scenery outside the window; without realizing it, she had already stayed here for a whole year.

Time really passes quickly.

In the courtyard, Su Yu watched Ling Wanqing staring blankly out the window, but he did not disturb her.

Su Yu now refocused his attention on everything in the courtyard.

The courtyard had already undergone quite a few changes; the things that Ling Wanqing used and created were all placed around the courtyard.

And what Ling Wanqing did not know was that she seemed to have already grown accustomed to these days of living together with Su Yu.

Just then, Han Ting came to Su Yu's place alone.

Su Yu watched as Han Ting, that rascal, didn't greet him first, but instead looked at Ling Wanqing. "Sister Ling, I've come to find you."

Ling Wanqing came back to her senses and looked at the newcomer. "Tingting, you're here."

Su Yu watched the two of them; indeed, over these past six months, Han Ting had frequently come here to look for Ling Wanqing to play.

Their relationship could be said to be quite good now. Ever since Han Ting discovered that Ling Wanqing's Musical Talent seemed to be better than hers, Han Ting would also ask Ling Wanqing to teach her.

As for Ling Wanqing, it went without saying that teaching Han Ting was not a problem at all.

This also led to Han Ting greeting Ling Wanqing first just now, but that didn't matter.

Han Ting turned her head and called out, "Uncle Yu, I've come to see you too."

Su Yu smiled. "You came to find your Sister Ling, didn't you? Seeing me is just an afterthought."

Han Ting looked at Su Yu. "Uncle Yu, can't you just not expose me?"

Su Yu waved his hand. "Alright, alright."

Han Ting looked at Ling Wanqing. "Sister Ling, there were still some things from last time I didn't understand, so I came to find you again today."

"Alright, I will continue teaching you."

Ling Wanqing learned from Han Ting that many of the things she knew had been taught to her by Su Yu.

The Dao of the zither was one of them, though Han Ting did not tell Ling Wanqing that the Sword Drawing Technique had also been taught to her by Su Yu.

Only three people knew about this matter: her parents and Ye Lin. Back then, she had promised Su Yu that she would not tell anyone else.

Ling Wanqing and Han Ting went to the zither platform by the pond.

Han Ting began to play, and Ling Wanqing stood by, guiding and correcting some of Han Ting's mistakes.

Su Yu just sat in the courtyard drinking wine, then thought for a moment, 'Forget it, I'll just go sit by the lake and fish.'

Su Yu came to the lakeside and cast his fishing rod.

As time passed, Su Yu saw that there were already quite a few fish in the bucket. Looking back, he saw the two of them had started chatting about something else, so he prepared to return.

Su Yu returned to the courtyard.

He prepared to process these fish.

Han Ting saw the fish in Su Yu's bucket. "Uncle Yu, you should understand me; I want to eat fish."

Su Yu smiled. "Wait a moment first."

"Mm."

Su Yu went to the barbecue grill he had built himself; this time, Su Yu prepared to grill fish to eat.

Han Ting watched Su Yu leave and grill over there.

Han Ting looked at Ling Wanqing. "Sister Ling, how do you feel about living here?"

Ling Wanqing nodded. "It's very good; I quite like it."

"That's good, I really like you, Sister Ling."

The two of them chatted a lot, and Ling Wanqing, not knowing why, glanced at Su Yu.

This year here was significantly different from her time at the Celestial Maiden Sect.

Both were unremarkable lives, but here, there was a much better experience.

One could even say that her state of mind had improved quite a bit while here, and Ling Wanqing knew this was because of Su Yu.

The grilled fish were quickly prepared by Su Yu.

Han Ting's eyes lit up. "I get to eat grilled fish again! I won't stand on ceremony."

Su Yu and Ling Wanqing watched Han Ting, and they also began to eat.

After the meal, Han Ting thought of something. "Sister Ling, let's go out for a walk."

Ling Wanqing did not refuse. "Alright."

Han Ting then took Ling Wanqing out of the courtyard, preparing to walk around the vicinity.

Han Ting actually had some motives for doing this.

After Han Ting and Ling Wanqing had walked some distance, she asked, "Sister Ling, how is your injury recovery coming along?"

"It has recovered by about half; it won't take too long before it's almost done."

There was a hint of reluctance in Han Ting's eyes. "Sister Ling, will you have to go back to the Divine Wind Dynasty then? It's so far away; it won't be easy to visit you."

Ling Wanqing nodded. "It is indeed not easy, but I will come here often."

Thinking of this, Han Ting spoke in a low voice. "Sister Ling, what do you think of my Uncle Yu?"

Ling Wanqing thought for a moment. "He is a very good person; he always has some unexpected things about him."

Hearing this, Han Ting said, "Right? I also think Uncle Yu is very good. Sister Ling, I'll just speak directly; we are quite close now."

"Sister Ling, would you consider my Uncle Yu?"

Ling Wanqing didn't react for a moment. "Consider? Consider what?"

Han Ting said, "I mean, consider becoming Dao Companions with Uncle Yu."

Hearing these words, a trace of panic actually flashed through Ling Wanqing's heart.

Ling Wanqing had not thought about this before, and now that Han Ting had brought it up, she didn't know how to answer for a moment.

Han Ting continued, "I can help you, Sister Ling, as long as you have that thought."

Su Yu, who was in the courtyard, did not know about this, nor did he know what Han Ting was doing right now.

Just then, Su Yu saw Ling Wanqing return, and Han Ting had already left.

Su Yu noticed something slightly off; Ling Wanqing seemed a bit unusual, but then again, maybe not.

Su Yu thought to himself, 'Could it be an illusion?'

Su Yu looked at Ling Wanqing and said, "You're back."

Ling Wanqing nodded. "Mm, I'm back. I saw Tingting home."

Ling Wanqing did not linger in the courtyard much longer this time, but instead returned to her room.

Ling Wanqing glanced at Su Yu, and for some reason, she couldn't help but recall the words Han Ting had said.
