Meanwhile, on Zang Hai’s side, he was also very puzzled.
“Little Junior Brother, how did that girl fly out when you hadn’t even started fighting with her yet?”
“It was an accident. The Senior Sister wasn’t ready yet,” Tantai Jin said, wiping his sword.
“Little Junior Brother, your luck is really good.”
Tantai Jin just smiled.
Every day after the competition ended, Tantai Jin would return to Hengyang Sect’s backyard and never go out. Seeing him being so “antisocial”, Zang Hai couldn’t help but advise him, “Little Junior Brother, you’re still young. You need to go out more often and get to know the disciples of your generation. It’s good to build good relationships. Your performance has been outstanding these past few days, and many Dao friends want to get to know you, so why do you come back and wipe your sword every day?”
Seeing Tantai Jin not answering and remembering something, Zang Hai laughed mischievously.
“At your age, Senior Brother also had affections for someone. Tell Senior Brother, do you have a female disciple that you admire?”

Tantai Jin rested his head on his arm. What daughter of Chixiao Sect or immortal of Changze Mountain? He coldly bit his wrist until it bled.
I only want the Soul Calming Lamp.
It has to be the Soul Calming Lamp!
*****
The competition had ended, and no one had expected that the final winner would be a disciple from Xiaoyao Sect.
This matter had become a topic of idle discussion among the Three Realms recently, as a useless sect like Xiaoyao Sect had actually produced a genius out of nowhere.
“The winner is actually someone from Xiaoyao Sect. It’s been thousands of years, and this is the first time. How amazing. What a waste we didn’t even go to that competition arena2Might be a plot hole here. It’s the author’s mistake. If you remember, Yao Guang actually went (refer to last chapter). I heard that that person’s performance was astonishing, not inferior to that of Senior Brother Gongye,” Yao Guang said.
Yao Guang sighed with admiration, and Su Su thought in surprise, for Yao Guang to call someone an amazing talent, he must be very impressive.
In the air, bright streams of immortal aura flashed past, and Su Su said, “No matter who won, these past few days have been lively.”
Yao Guang lightly pushed her forehead, “Why do you like to go to lively places after coming out from seclusion? Didn’t you like to stay at Changze Mountain before?”
Su Su covered the cinnabar between her eyebrows and revealed a pair of smiling and vivid eyes.
“I just miss you guys a lot.”
“Your Junior Brother is coming,” Yao Guang said.
Su Su turned around, and sure enough, she saw Yue Fuya.
Yue Fuya cupped his fist, “Senior Sister Yao Guang, Senior Sister. Now that the competition has ended, Master and the elders want to say a few words, and also need to give the Soul Calming Lamp to the disciple who won. Senior Sister, do you want to go and watch the ceremony?”
Su Su kept hearing Yao Guang mention how amazing this male disciple from Xiaoyao Sect was, so she was curious and naturally wanted to take a look.
“Alright.”
They went to the immortal mountain where the Hengyang Sect was holding a banquet.
Yao Guang walked ahead, and Yue Fuya fell a few steps behind her, walking beside Su Su. “I’m sorry, Senior Sister, I couldn’t win the Soul Calming Lamp for you,” he whispered solemnly.
He lowered his head and looked down at his cloud-patterned boots. The always upright Little Junior Brother had a hint of guilt on his face.
Su Su followed him and lowered her voice, “What will I use the Soul Calming Lamp for? But your spiritual sword is broken. Fuya, when Senior Sister is free, I’ll choose a similar weapon for you. Eldest Senior Brother has his immortal sword, ‘Blazing Sky’, so you need something too.”
Yue Fuya looked up and saw a pair of vivid and serious eyes.
The young girl’s face was covered with a mermaid yarn veil, and her eyes seemed to be filled with stars, reflecting his appearance.
Under her gaze, Yue Fuya’s face gradually stiffened, and he hurried forward, “N-no need, I’ll just use a spiritual sword.”
Su Su looked at him. Why does Fuya look like he’s fleeing? Before, he used to practice moves3喂招 (wèi zhāo) – The term originates from the novel ‘The Smiling, Proud Wanderer’ by Jin Yong. It means that when the master accompanies his disciple to practice moves, the master keeps pretending to attack and makes the disciple receive his moves to test whether the disciple’s moves have improved and to train his ability to adapt to achieve greater improvement. Besides that, it also refers to the exchange of martial arts skills between fellow disciples. with me without caring that I’m his Senior Sister, and wasn’t courteous at all.
*****
Sitting on Hengyang Sect’s banquet seat, Zang Hai took out a recording pearl.
He smiled foolishly and said, “Junior Brother, later, when the elder of Hengyang Sect gives you the Soul Calming Lamp, Senior Brother will record the scene for you using the recording pearl. When we go back, I’ll let Master and the fellow disciples watch it, the day for our Xiaoyao Sect to feel proud4扬眉吐气 (yángméi-tǔqì) – feel proud and elated (idiom) has arrived.”
Tantai Jin looked at the cup in his hand and responded nonchalantly.
Many disciples were looking at Tantai Jin. It was rare for Xiaoyao Sect to produce a genius, let alone one with amazing talent. Just his thunder spiritual root alone was enough to attract attention.
Because of Zang Hai’s words, these past few days, Tantai Jin restrained himself a lot during the competition, no longer defeating his opponents with just a few moves.
The elders and disciples of each immortal sect took their seats one after another.
The banquet was quiet, but in the next moment, the entrance to the banquet was filled with cheers and laughter5欢声笑语 (huānshēng-xiàoyǔ) – an idiom.
At the sight of someone, the disciples of Hengyang Sect who were initially standing at the entrance all went forward and gathered around, no longer keeping up their appearance of receiving the immortal sects. The seriousness on their faces faded, and was replaced with bright smiles.
The young disciples at the bottom of the stone steps made way. Realizing something, everyone at the banquet looked towards the majestic entrance.
All they could see was a young girl jumping down from an immortal sword. Under the hem of her white clothes was a pair of exquisite and beautifully embroidered shoes. The hem of her skirt was decorated with delicate tassels. She briskly walked in.
Her face was covered with a white mermaid yarn veil, revealing only a pair of clear eyes, and the cinnabar dot between her eyebrows.
A spell had been cast on the mermaid yarn veil, causing her appearance to become blurry.
There were people whispering beside Tantai Jin.
“It’s the daughter of Immortal Senior Qu Xuanzi, Little Immortal Yu Ling.”
“What’s her name?”
“Li Su Su,” someone said.
Tantai Ashes drank the spiritual dew in his cup without looking up. It’s just an unknown young girl with an outstanding identity anyway. Naive, weak, and ignorant of worldly affairs.
Zang Hai sighed and said, “The apple of Immortal Senior Qu Xuanzi’s eye, almost everyone knows of her existence, but few have seen her. Qu Xuanzi and the fellow disciples of Hengyang Sect have protected her extremely well.”
Unlike other disciples who were struggling to cultivate, she had a precious status, extraordinary aptitude, and a father who was ranked at the top of the immortal realm, which was really enviable.
At least Zang Hai was very envious. Hengyang Sect was the number one immortal sect, unlike their Xiaoyao Sect, which was impoverished and almost couldn’t afford to distribute swords to the disciples. Since before, he only dared to be glib-tongued with his Junior Brother, knowing that her identity was different from theirs. Most female disciples like her looked down on Xiaoyao Sect, thinking that their cultivation was low and lazy.
Su Su, Yao Guang, and Yue Fuya came in together. Just as she was heading to Qu Xuanzi’s side, a thought suddenly came to mind, and she turned to look at where the Xiaoyao Sect was seated. She saw a disciple in fish-patterned black clothes with a cold expression.
Her pupils shrank slightly, and the bright and beautiful smile in her eyes disappeared.
As if sensing her gaze, that person’s hand holding the cup paused. When he raised his head and looked at her, their eyes met. Time had turned the blue sea into mulberry fields6沧海桑田 (cānghǎi-sāngtián) – lit. the blue sea turned into mulberry fields (idiom); fig. the transformations of the world; time brings great changes; vicissitudes, and five hundred years had passed.
The unforgettable memories of the past in the mortal realm surfaced one after another before Su Su’s eyes.
Su Su’s nails almost cut deep into her palm as she looked at the person before her.
How could it be? It’s him.
——————————————————————————————————————
The author has something to say:
Su Su: I! Hate! The Puppet Spell! The most!
Tantai Jin, who was attached to Xiaoyao Sect (helpless): I didn’t…… it’s not like that, hear me out!

👏 A new update! Thank you for all your hard work!
Thank you for reading!!! ❤❤❤
I wonder what has happened in these 500 years to TTJ… I hope we’ll see a lot of flashbacks
I want to see them interacting so bad 😭😭😭
By the way, turns out this novel is almost completely translated to my native tongue. But reading it in your translation is so much more interesting and nicer than even in my mother tongue 😂😂😂 So no spoilers for me, I’ll just wait here XD
Ms Bee, thank you for your hard work! Your little extra notes and the smoothness of your translation are really exceptional, just on another level of wonderful
You will see lots of their interactions very soon xD
Ohh wow what’s your native tongue?
Thank you very much for reading my translation and waiting patiently *bows 90 degree*
My native language is Russian >< the translation in it is good (no mtl or mistakes and so on), but I like yours much more 🥰🥰🥰
wewww one of the hardest languages… the translator must be very good ✪ ω ✪
keke thank you ❤❤❤
Can’t wait to read another chapter. Damn this story is so addictive
I am so late to read and comment this time. Life and a lot of travelling got in the way. I loved this, and can’t wait for him to realise who she is. Unlike in the show, she looks completely different from Ye Xiwu, so it’s not like he will recognise her on sight!
It’s okay, that way you can wait for more chapters to release and read them all at once xD
Yeppp that’s right!
@Author’s Note
😑 Okay, let’s hear TTJ’s “explanation” about it. But honestly, I’m on LSS’ side on this.
