The transformation ended five minutes later. When Su Yu saw Ao Run again, her eyes were clear, and she lay there very obedient, unusually docile.
That severe beating left her nursing her injuries for three months, and upon recovery, she was exceptionally obedient, though she would inexplicably tremble every time he shouted at her.
Su Yu didn’t think too much about it; as long as she was obedient, that was enough.
Unknowingly, two months later, the Jade Sinking Ship crossed over ten million kilometers of distance, appearing in the waters of Jinjiao Island.
Looking at the familiar sea and the numerous players coming and going, Su Yu felt quite emotional:
"Finally back."
Mingsu Palace, Minghuan Peak, it was only a family gathering with the second brother, second sister-in-law, Su Yu, and Qingchan.
After the meal, the second sister-in-law pulled Qingchan into the room to have a private chat among women, while Su Yu and the second brother went to the tea room for tea.
Halfway through drinking tea, the second brother took out a jade box and pushed it in front of him without explanation. Su Yu asked curiously:
"What is this?"
"Take a look. It’s something your sister-in-law prepared for you."
Su Yu curiously opened it. Inside were two Primordial Infinite Elixirs.
"Isn’t this too valuable?"
"Besides, I’m not in urgent need of it now."
Su Huan laughed and said:
"Your second sister-in-law is an Alchemy Master. She made these Primordial Infinite Elixirs herself. Originally, she prepared three for you. But since you and Qingchan are together now, we’re giving the remaining pill, plus one for each me and your sister-in-law, as a greeting gift for Qingchan."
"Emmm."
With that said, he couldn’t refuse.
"Thank you, second brother and sister-in-law."
Su Huan waved his hand with a smile and said:
"The main thing is that you worked hard for it yourself."
"By the way, how long will you stay this time before coming back?"
Su Yu shook his head and said:
"It might be quite a while. Returning to the sect to switch cultivation to Sword Formulas, then I need to apply for the main lineage’s inherited teaching. If I apply for a trial of inheritance, it will probably take a lot of effort. Moreover, there are some issues with my guild that I need to deal with back there. With all these things combined, it’ll probably take more than half a year."
"Hmm...."
The second brother pondered for a while and said:
"Discuss with Qingchan to see if she wants to go over there."
"I will."
Su Yu stayed only for a day upon returning. The next day, he directly used the long-distance teleportation array at Mingsu Palace to return to the sect.
Of course, Qingchan did not come with him this time. He was too busy on this trip to spend much time with her.
After discussing between the two, she continued her cultivation on Jinjiao Island. With the second sister-in-law around, she wouldn’t be lonely.
Both were very clear that the priority at this stage was still cultivation. If they didn’t work hard and reach the standard, they would have no future together.
Upon returning from Mingsu Palace to Xuanzhen Immortal Sect, Su Yu immediately contacted his master and several senior brothers:
"Master, third senior brother, fifth senior sister, I’m back."
After a while, only the third senior brother replied:
"Sixth junior brother, you’re finally back. Come to Daoist School quickly."
"On my way."
Quickly returning to Fengyun Daoist School, he met the third senior brother, who immediately asked:
"Junior brother, why did it take you so long to return from overseas? Did you find your second brother?"
"I found him. Second brother and sister-in-law treated me very well, and I stayed there for a long time before realizing it was time to return."
"Glad you found them, the family is complete now."
"By the way, third senior brother, where is Master? Isn’t he in the sect?"
"He’s not, but I’ve already informed him, and he’ll return tomorrow."
"Oh, by the way, junior brother, you should prepare yourself. Miss Chu Xinyue from Jade Flower Peak has looked for you many times. She asked me to tell you to visit the Thousand Feather Association immediately upon your return."
Su Yu’s expression became serious, and he asked:
"Do you know specifically what happened, senior brother?"
The third senior brother shook his head and said:
"I don’t know much, just that Ding Lingyu, who comes from the same guild as you, is now competing with several other fellow disciples for the Tongming Lineage’s inherited teaching. The competition is intense and has a wide impact. Your guild is likely affected by this."
"Is Ding Lingyu still in the sect?"
"I’m not sure about that. You can try contacting him."
