Two Disciples, and a Wife Once Again

As Su Qian led Yao Lao toward the Inner Academy, Su Yu was about to follow when the space around him suddenly distorted. He paused and watched as the space before him slowly turned into a vortex. Mao Jiu emerged from it with two girls.

One of the girls had a head of long purple hair and looked to be only sixteen or seventeen. The other had a ponytail tied with a single strand of green hair. Most unusual of all were her eyes, a pair of green pupils.

Su Yu looked at the two of them and froze for a moment. Aren’t these Xiao Yi Xian and Qing Lin?

Su Yu looked at Mao Jiu in confusion. Mao Jiu smiled and said, "I couldn’t stay in that bamboo cottage forever, could I? It was too boring, so I took on two little disciples: Xiao Yi Xian and Qing Lin. This is my husband—your master’s wife."

"Pfft…" Su Yu felt as if he had spat out a mouthful of blood. "How did I become the master’s wife again?"

Xiao Yi Xian and Qing Lin were both very obedient. They immediately looked at Su Yu and called out, "Master’s wife."

Su Yu gave a bitter smile. "Fine, master’s wife it is. You two little girls have both had difficult lives. From now on, just follow your master peacefully."

As he spoke, Su Yu looked at Mao Jiu. "Xiao Jiu, you only just accepted them as disciples, right? The problems with their bodies haven’t been resolved yet."

Mao Jiu nodded. "I’ll leave that to you, Husband. I only know how to teach people to kill."

Su Yu said, "…Speaking of which, why do you teach Yi Yi everything? Xiao Jiu, I suddenly really want to know what kind of person you used to be."

Mao Jiu smiled cutely. "By the standards of some worlds, I used to be the kind of great demon who killed without blinking."

Su Yu smiled bitterly as he rubbed Mao Jiu’s head. "So I married a demon and brought her home."

Mao Jiu grinned and struck a clawing pose. "Then are you afraid?"

"Afraid of what? At least after becoming my wife, you’ve never shown me your cold side." Su Yu smiled.

Mao Jiu chuckled. In truth, it was not only her—Void and Reincarnation were also people who killed without blinking. Still, they did not slaughter innocents indiscriminately. But when it came to evildoers, regardless of whether they were old, weak, women, or children, as long as they had committed evil, the three of them would not feel even the slightest pity.

They were born supreme. To them, human lives were sometimes truly worth less than a penny. Yet they had no choice but to protect those living beings whom they considered worthless. It was, in fact, an even greater contradiction.

If Su Yu knew, he would definitely be utterly disdainful. What contradiction? They were just a bunch of hopeless tsunderes.

Su Yu looked at Xiao Yi Xian and Qing Lin. "You two should join Jia Nan Academy as well. Xiao Yi Xian, do you want to learn alchemy?"

Xiao Yi Xian immediately nodded. She had originally been a physician, so naturally she was interested in alchemy.

Su Yu had already decided to hand Xiao Yi Xian over to Yao Lao for instruction. As for the Woeful Poison Body within her, he would leave that to Yao Lao to resolve as well. After all, Yao Lao was now a Ninth Grade Alchemist, so curing the Woeful Poison Body would not be a problem at all.

Su Yu looked at Qing Lin, wondering what he should teach her. After thinking for a moment, he asked, "Qing Lin, what do you want to learn?"

"I… I want to cultivate," Qing Lin said softly.

Su Yu nodded. "Alright. This is a cultivation technique. Practice it first."

As he spoke, Su Yu took out a book and handed it to Qing Lin. After accepting it, Qing Lin softly said, "I… I can’t read…"

Su Yu gave a bitter smile. "It won’t do if you can’t read. I’ll teach you how to read first, then you can begin cultivating."

Qing Lin nodded obediently.

Su Yu was still uneasy about leaving Su Yiyi here, but he also needed to find a place to teach Qing Lin reading and cultivation. After thinking it over, he sent a voice transmission to Yao Lao, asking him to tell Su Qian to arrange for two more teachers to enter the Inner Academy.

Yao Lao immediately told Su Qian that two people would be coming to teach at the Inner Academy. Su Qian thought that anyone recommended by Yao Lao would at the very least be a Dou Zong, so he agreed without hesitation.

Su Qian immediately found a secluded place in the Inner Academy. Then Su Yu and Mao Jiu appeared out of thin air before Su Qian and Yao Lao with Xiao Yi Xian and Qing Lin.

Su Qian was startled. So many people had appeared before him in an instant, yet he had sensed nothing at all. Could this be a Dou Sheng?

Su Qian immediately clasped his hands and called out, "Su Qian of Jia Nan Academy greets Senior."

Su Yu smiled. "Elder Su, there is no need to be so polite. My name is Su Yu. Speaking of which, we share the same surname. From now on, I’ll have to rely on Elder Su’s care at Jia Nan Academy."

"I wouldn’t dare, I wouldn’t dare. Senior Su Yu, could you be one of the people Yao Lao said would be coming to teach at Jia Nan Academy?" Su Qian asked excitedly.

Su Yu nodded. "That’s right. My wife and I will naturally teach a few students now that we’re here. When the time comes, we’ll select several students and guide them."

Su Qian said in delight, "Thank you, Senior. Oh, um, Senior, do you think I could become your student?"

Su Yu said, "…"

Mao Jiu said, "…"

Yao Lao said, "…"

Seeing the stunned expressions on their faces, Su Qian laughed awkwardly. "Well, I was joking, just joking. Senior, if there’s nothing else, I’ll be leaving first."

With that, Su Qian immediately slipped away in embarrassment. After leaving, he recalled what he had just said and truly felt as though his brain had malfunctioned. At his age, how could he have said something like that? But it was because he had been too excited. Su Yu might very well be a Dou Sheng. If a Dou Sheng gave him a little guidance, wouldn’t he break through in no time?

After Su Qian left, Su Yu revealed a faint smile. "That old man is rather adorable."

As he spoke, Su Yu pushed Xiao Yi Xian toward Yao Lao. "Yao Lao, I’ll leave this little girl to you."

Yao Lao looked at Xiao Yi Xian and narrowed his eyes slightly. "The Woeful Poison Body? Senior, do you want me to cure her? No problem."

Su Yu said, "Yes, curing her is one matter. This little girl also likes alchemy, so teach her while you’re at it."

Yao Lao nodded. "No problem."

Just then, Qing Lin softly said, "Master’s wife, I want to learn alchemy too…"

Su Yu smiled bitterly. "Is alchemy really this popular now? Little Qing Lin, let’s not learn alchemy. I’ll teach you something more fun."

Qing Lin asked blankly, "What is it?"

"The guqin!" Su Yu said with a smile.

Mao Jiu smiled and wrapped her arms around Su Yu’s arm. "Husband, speaking of the guqin, you haven’t played for me in a long time."

Su Yu smiled faintly. "Alright. I just happened to compose a few new pieces, so I’ll play them for you today."

As he spoke, Su Yu found a place and sat down cross-legged. Then the ring on his finger transformed into the Taigu Yiyin Qin. Su Yu stroked the strings with both hands as images began to emerge in his mind.
