Chapter 229 – I'm barefoot!
In the Thunder Strike Valley of Shuofang, Su Yun did not directly meet Yu Qingluo, but later heard from Chi Xiaoyao that there was such a woman.
During this new and old school debate, Su Yun only had a face-to-face encounter with her, but did not have close contact.
Yu Qingluo also participated in the major exam of the Tian Dao Academy, and handed in the martial arts and divine abilities she had comprehended. At that time, Su Yun had to review other scholars and had no contact with her.
It was only when Yu Qingluo came to visit this time that Su Yun had time to take a good look at this woman. He saw that she was taller than other women. Su Yun was already fourteen years old and had started to grow taller, but Yu Qingluo was half a head taller than him.
She was wearing a Qingluo dress, which was said to be a new style of dress. The folds of her skirt were like the creases of a fan, making her legs look long and her waist slender.
Her upper body had a classical beauty, set off by the waist and the Qingluo dress. The top was light green and simple and loose.
This woman had a rural beauty, hiding her beauty in the mountains and rivers.
"Her chest is big!"
Ying Ying whispered to Su Yun, "Your son is lucky!"
Su Yun blushed and secretly took a glance, and it was true. "Ying Ying, I'm only fourteen years old..."
Yu Qingluo noticed something and glanced over. Su Yun quickly took Ying Ying into his spiritual realm to prevent this little book monster from causing trouble again.
"Has Master Su read my Shen Nong's Dragon Heart Sutra?"
Yu Qingluo asked, "Does Master Su think I can pass the Tian Dao Academy?"
Su Yun carefully recalled the test papers he had read. Ying Ying reminded him in his spiritual realm, "The Shen Nong's Dragon Heart Sutra is a fusion of some of the content of the Sixteen Real Dragons by her, combined with her original Shen Nong family martial arts, to cultivate the divine ability of wood-ifying dragons."
Su Yun suddenly remembered that martial arts and smiled, "I have already evaluated your test paper. It's really ingenious to use the power of creation to turn grass and trees into dragons. It's worth further study."
Yu Qingluo was both surprised and happy, "Master Su remembers my Sutra?"
Ying Ying recited a few lines from the Sutra and said, "Recite the words in her Sutra to her. This is called catering to her preferences. She will know that you care about her and will pay attention to you. You will be one step closer to becoming the son-in-law of an ancient and secretive school."
Su Yun ignored her and smiled, "As for whether you can enter the Tian Dao Academy, it depends on the performance of other scholars."
Seeing that Yu Qingluo didn't understand, he explained, "The Tian Dao Academy only accepts more than twenty scholars a year, so we must select the most outstanding ones. Your Shen Nong's Dragon Heart Sutra is good, but whether you can enter the Tian Dao Academy depends on whether you can stand out among these twenty people."
Yu Qingluo hesitated for a moment and said, "I have another request, I don't know if I should say it..."
Ying Ying quickly said, "Agree quickly!"
"Just speak, whether to agree or not is my business." Su Yun said to Yu Qingluo.
Yu Qingluo made up her mind and said, "I think Master Su's words are very reasonable, and the criticism of the old school is very pertinent. I was originally very sad when I saw the new school defeat the old school, thinking that the old school was inferior to the new school. But your words, which completely defeated both the new and old schools, made me regain hope for the old school. I want to ask..."
She hesitated for a moment and said, "I want to ask Master Su to persuade my sect to change the old Saint's unique skills."
Su Yun was stunned.
Yu Qingluo said, "My sect regards inheriting the unique skills of the saints as its own responsibility, preserving the unique skills of the past saints, and selecting young men and women who are suitable for inheriting these unique skills. Therefore, my sect is also..."
(Note: Some of the sentences are incomplete or lack proper punctuation in the original text, so the translation may not be perfect.)Su Yun spoke for her: "So your sect is also the most stubborn, the one least willing to change. Isn't that right?"
Yu Qingluo nodded.
Su Yun shook his head: "I won't go see your sect's elders."
Ying Ying pounded his head in his spiritual world: "You wooden-headed person! By rejecting her like this, how can you become her sect's son-in-law and explore ancient secrets?"
Su Yun remained unmoved and said calmly: "Right now, Mr. Qiu is pushing for change, and the capital is like a pot of boiling oil, a single spark can ignite it. If I follow you to see your sect, who will protect Mr. Qiu?"
Yu Qingluo looked downcast.
To the discerning eye, it was clear that Su Yun's actions in the capital were not actually about stirring up trouble, but rather to protect Qiu Shuijing.
Qiu Shuijing's push for change would inevitably endanger the interests of the aristocratic families. Su Yun drew the attention of all the forces in the capital to himself, stirring up various factions. Invisibly, the pressure and danger to Qiu Shuijing were reduced.
At the very least, the leaders of the major aristocratic families, such as Prime Minister Wen and Wen Guanshan, and the heads of the old school, such as Dao Saint and Holy Buddha, did not directly target Qiu Shuijing.
Therefore, Su Yun's actions in the capital could be considered a form of protection for Qiu Shuijing.
Su Yun continued: "The emperor has appointed me as the Inspector of External Affairs and intends for me to leave the capital and go overseas. Matters are urgent, and although I want to help you, I can't free myself up."
Yu Qingluo became even more downcast and bowed to him before turning to leave.
Suddenly, Su Yun's voice sounded behind her: "If you really want your sect to change, then let your sect's elders come see me. Because of your willingness to change, I can make an exception and see them."
"Expert!"
Ying Ying was overjoyed: "Little Su is an expert! This kid won't be single for long!"
Yu Qingluo was both surprised and delighted, and quickly turned around to thank him.
Su Yun waved his hand and said: "But if they remain obstinate, there's nothing I can do. Miss Qingluo, I have something else to attend to, you may leave."
Yu Qingluo bowed and said: "Don't worry, I will definitely persuade my sect's elders to come see you!"
"Since Miss Qingluo has asked me to do something for you, I also have a request for Miss Qingluo."
Su Yun said seriously: "The Tongtian Tower has been investigating the mystery of the previous world's destruction. I've heard that your sect has many ancient secrets. Can you tell me about them?"
Yu Qingluo hesitated: "I've heard of these secrets, but they are all hidden in the Three Emperors' Fire Cloud Cave... I'll do my best!"
She gritted her teeth, bowed to Su Yun, and hurriedly left.
Ying Ying praised him endlessly and said with a smile: "You've cast your net, and now you won't be able to escape becoming her son-in-law!"
Su Yun shook his head and said: "I'm only fourteen years old and haven't even come of age! I've never thought about becoming anyone's son-in-law, son-in-law, or husband. I just feel that I've learned a lot from the Old Sage's classics, and they've opened up my spiritual wisdom, allowing me to learn things quickly and easily. I've gained so much from the Old Sage, so I should do something for him."
"...Di Ping is sickly, and most likely won't have the chance to make you his husband."
Ying Ying rested her chin on her hands and said absentmindedly: "Spring has come, and butterflies come in pairs, but you're still alone. It worries me..."
"I'm only fourteen years old!" Su Yun said angrily.
He rested for a night and went to the second level of the capital the next day to continue assessing the scholars.During the journey, Su Yun suddenly felt something and pushed open the window of the carriage to look outside. He saw a yellow and black fox sunbathing on the eaves of a building.
Su Yun was stunned, and quickly jumped out of the carriage and leaped onto the eaves. But at this moment, the old fox on the eaves seemed to be frightened and jumped away, fleeing far away.
Su Yun's footsteps were extremely fast as he chased after the fox. The two of them leaped and moved between the high-rise buildings in the capital.
Suddenly, the old fox jumped down from the building and disappeared into a small alley. Su Yun walked into the alley and searched around, but could not find any trace of the old fox, feeling lost and disappointed.
"It's impossible, I buried you with my own hands..."
He turned around, waved his sleeve, and flew into the air.
At noon, Su Yun and a group of teachers from the Tian Dao Academy were looking at test papers when Ying Ying suddenly poked Su Yun's shoulder and gestured with her mouth.
Su Yun looked up and saw a young man who looked somewhat similar to himself standing in front of him.
"Your younger brother..." Ying Ying whispered.
Su Yun looked at the cultivation method on the test paper, then at the young man in front of him, who was also nervous and hesitant. "You're the one who gave me money that day..."
Jing Nan Lou, Yuan Wu Ji, and Wen Yan Feng approached and sandwiched Su Ye in the middle, presenting their own test papers. Jing Nan Lou hugged Su Ye's shoulders and smiled, "Su Ji-Jiu, this young Su scholar shares the same surname as you. How coincidental."
Wen Yan Feng laughed, "It's really a coincidence. Eight years ago, the Su family moved from Shuo Fang to the capital, and the then magistrate of Jing Zhao arranged for them to have a status in the capital and gave them some money to settle down. You could say it's a coincidence that they also come from Shuo Fang, a place called Tian Shi Yuan."
Su Ye was sandwiched in the middle and felt extremely restrained, not daring to move.
Yuan Wu Ji, Jing Nan Lou, and Wen Yan Feng were all upper-class gentlemen who lived in the capital, and it was difficult for him to see them on a regular basis, let alone be so close to them.
"This young man is Gao Qi Chu, the son of the Gao family of Jing Zhao Magistrate."
Jing Nan Lou turned sideways, and a wealthy young man in luxurious clothes holding a folding fan walked over. Jing Nan Lou smiled, "Gao Qi Chu has the information about the Su family's relocation from back then, right, Gao young master?"
At the side, Ye Luo was also an examiner and frowned when he saw this, thinking to himself that things were not good, and hurried over.
Gao Qi Chu gently shook the folding fan and took out a roll of documents, "Maybe Su Ji-Jiu and the young Su scholar are from the same hometown."
Wen Yan Feng looked at Su Yun with a smile and said, "Gao young master, go ahead."
Gao Qi Chu opened the documents and was about to read the words on them when Su Yun suddenly flashed his body and stood in front of the five of them, punching out. Gao Qi Chu flew backwards!
"Boom!"
A building wall in the distance exploded, and Gao Qi Chu's bones were shattered, blood splattering onto the wall! n0veLusB.C0m
Yuan Wu Ji, Jing Nan Lou, and Wen Yan Feng were shocked and had not yet had time to react when a large bell fell, hitting Jing Nan Lou and causing a shockwave of blood to flow out from under the bell.
Wen Yan Feng grabbed Su Ye's neck and flew back quickly, unable to maintain his smile, and laughed, "Su Ji-Jiu, why are you so angry? Aren't you worried about his life?"
"Chih--"
A sword light soared, Yuan Wu Ji's eyes twitched, and he quickly activated the immortal technique of the Yuan family to resist it!
At the moment of collision between their techniques, Yuan Wu Ji thought, "I can only resist him for five moves. After five moves, I will die. It's better to use a spiritual weapon!"The Yuan family was after all the royal family, with a much stronger foundation than other aristocratic families. Yuan Wuji, as the elite cultivated by the royal family to deal with Di Ping, naturally had means of protection.
A precious sword flew out from Yuan Wuji's spiritual realm, but at this moment, Su Yun's spiritual realm also had a sword flying out.
Su Yun held the Qingxu Sword in his hand, and with a flash of sword light, the holy might of the Great Saint Spiritual Soldier soared into the sky!
Suddenly, the sword light in the sky became extremely bright, and the entire Eastern Capital was illuminated by the sword light in an instant!
"The Dao Saint's sword?"
Yuan Wuji held the Yuan family's precious sword, and his body suddenly stopped. He said in a hoarse voice, "The family did not give me the Great Saint Spiritual Soldier..."
Su Yun shook the Qingxu Sword, and a drop of blood fell from the tip of the sword as he walked towards Wen Yanfeng.
Behind him, the precious sword in Yuan Wuji's hand broke and fell to the ground with a clang.
Ye Luo's eyes twitched, his body trembling, and the eyes of other Western teachers were also jumping around. They saw Yuan Wuji's body slip down to the left and right.
Su Yun walked up to Wen Yanfeng, who was holding Su Ye's neck and still hesitating to kill her.
"Only children play this kind of game. Do you think I care? I'm barefoot!"
Su Yun reached out his hand and smiled, "Wen Yanfeng, my opponent has always been your father, not you. Don't overestimate yourself."
Wen Yanfeng was sweating profusely and reluctantly let go of his hand. "You killed the royal family and the son of the prefect of Jingzhao. You are certain to die..."
Su Yun's other hand grabbed Su Ye's test paper and handed it to her, saying lightly, "Su Ye, I have seen your test paper. Your foundation is not solid enough to pass the Heavenly Academy's examination. Go back and practice for another two years."
He waved his hand, and Su Ye, who was bewildered, took the test paper and left.
Please report us if you find any errors so we can fix it asap!
Chapter 229 – I'm barefoot!
In the Thunder Strike Valley of Shuofang, Su Yun did not directly meet Yu Qingluo, but later heard from Chi Xiaoyao that there was such a woman.

Suddenly, Su Yun's voice sounded behind her: "If you really want your sect to change, then let your sect's elders come see me. Because of your willingness to change, I can make an exception and see them." "Expert!" Ying Ying was overjoyed: "Little Su is an expert! This kid won't be single for long!" Yu Qingluo was both surprised and delighted, and quickly turned around to thank him. Su Yun waved his hand and said: "But if they remain obstinate, there's nothing I can do. Miss Qingluo, I have something else to attend to, you may leave." Yu Qingluo bowed and said: "Don't worry, I will definitely persuade my sect's elders to come see you!" "Since Miss Qingluo has asked me to do something for you, I also have a request for Miss Qingluo." Su Yun said seriously: "The Tongtian Tower has been investigating the mystery of the previous world's destruction. I've heard that your sect has many ancient secrets. Can you tell me about them?" Yu Qingluo hesitated: "I've heard of these secrets, but they are all hidden in the Three Emperors' Fire Cloud Cave... I'll do my best!" She gritted her teeth, bowed to Su Yun, and hurriedly left. Ying Ying praised him endlessly and said with a smile: "You've cast your net, and now you won't be able to escape becoming her son-in-law!" Su Yun shook his head and said: "I'm only fourteen years old and haven't even come of age! I've never thought about becoming anyone's son-in-law, son-in-law, or husband. I just feel that I've learned a lot from the Old Sage's classics, and they've opened up my spiritual wisdom, allowing me to learn things quickly and easily. I've gained so much from the Old Sage, so I should do something for him." "...Di Ping is sickly, and most likely won't have the chance to make you his husband." Ying Ying rested her chin on her hands and said absentmindedly: "Spring has come, and butterflies come in pairs, but you're still alone. It worries me..." "I'm only fourteen years old!" Su Yun said angrily. He rested for a night and went to the second level of the capital the next day to continue assessing the scholars.During the journey, Su Yun suddenly felt something and pushed open the window of the carriage to look outside. He saw a yellow and black fox sunbathing on the eaves of a building. Su Yun was stunned, and quickly jumped out of the carriage and leaped onto the eaves. But at this moment, the old fox on the eaves seemed to be frightened and jumped away, fleeing far away. Su Yun's footsteps were extremely fast as he chased after the fox. The two of them leaped and moved between the high-rise buildings in the capital. Suddenly, the old fox jumped down from the building and disappeared into a small alley. Su Yun walked into the alley and searched around, but could not find any trace of the old fox, feeling lost and disappointed. "It's impossible, I buried you with my own hands..." He turned around, waved his sleeve, and flew into the air. At noon, Su Yun and a group of teachers from the Tian Dao Academy were looking at test papers when Ying Ying suddenly poked Su Yun's shoulder and gestured with her mouth. Su Yun looked up and saw a young man who looked somewhat similar to himself standing in front of him. "Your younger brother..." Ying Ying whispered. Su Yun looked at the cultivation method on the test paper, then at the young man in front of him, who was also nervous and hesitant. "You're the one who gave me money that day..." Jing Nan Lou, Yuan Wu Ji, and Wen Yan Feng approached and sandwiched Su Ye in the middle, presenting their own test papers. Jing Nan Lou hugged Su Ye's shoulders and smiled, "Su Ji-Jiu, this young Su scholar shares the same surname as you. How coincidental." Wen Yan Feng laughed, "It's really a coincidence. Eight years ago, the Su family moved from Shuo Fang to the capital, and the then magistrate of Jing Zhao arranged for them to have a status in the capital and gave them some money to settle down. You could say it's a coincidence that they also come from Shuo Fang, a place called Tian Shi Yuan." Su Ye was sandwiched in the middle and felt extremely restrained, not daring to move. Yuan Wu Ji, Jing Nan Lou, and Wen Yan Feng were all upper-class gentlemen who lived in the capital, and it was difficult for him to see them on a regular basis, let alone be so close to them. "This young man is Gao Qi Chu, the son of the Gao family of Jing Zhao Magistrate." Jing Nan Lou turned sideways, and a wealthy young man in luxurious clothes holding a folding fan walked over. Jing Nan Lou smiled, "Gao Qi Chu has the information about the Su family's relocation from back then, right, Gao young master?" At the side, Ye Luo was also an examiner and frowned when he saw this, thinking to himself that things were not good, and hurried over. Gao Qi Chu gently shook the folding fan and took out a roll of documents, "Maybe Su Ji-Jiu and the young Su scholar are from the same hometown." Wen Yan Feng looked at Su Yun with a smile and said, "Gao young master, go ahead." Gao Qi Chu opened the documents and was about to read the words on them when Su Yun suddenly flashed his body and stood in front of the five of them, punching out. Gao Qi Chu flew backwards! "Boom!" A building wall in the distance exploded, and Gao Qi Chu's bones were shattered, blood splattering onto the wall! n0veLusB.C0mYuan Wu Ji, Jing Nan Lou, and Wen Yan Feng were shocked and had not yet had time to react when a large bell fell, hitting Jing Nan Lou and causing a shockwave of blood to flow out from under the bell. Wen Yan Feng grabbed Su Ye's neck and flew back quickly, unable to maintain his smile, and laughed, "Su Ji-Jiu, why are you so angry? Aren't you worried about his life?" "Chih--" A sword light soared, Yuan Wu Ji's eyes twitched, and he quickly activated the immortal technique of the Yuan family to resist it! At the moment of collision between their techniques, Yuan Wu Ji thought, "I can only resist him for five moves. After five moves, I will die. It's better to use a spiritual weapon!"The Yuan family was after all the royal family, with a much stronger foundation than other aristocratic families. Yuan Wuji, as the elite cultivated by the royal family to deal with Di Ping, naturally had means of protection. A precious sword flew out from Yuan Wuji's spiritual realm, but at this moment, Su Yun's spiritual realm also had a sword flying out. Su Yun held the Qingxu Sword in his hand, and with a flash of sword light, the holy might of the Great Saint Spiritual Soldier soared into the sky! Suddenly, the sword light in the sky became extremely bright, and the entire Eastern Capital was illuminated by the sword light in an instant! "The Dao Saint's sword?" Yuan Wuji held the Yuan family's precious sword, and his body suddenly stopped. He said in a hoarse voice, "The family did not give me the Great Saint Spiritual Soldier..." Su Yun shook the Qingxu Sword, and a drop of blood fell from the tip of the sword as he walked towards Wen Yanfeng. Behind him, the precious sword in Yuan Wuji's hand broke and fell to the ground with a clang. Ye Luo's eyes twitched, his body trembling, and the eyes of other Western teachers were also jumping around. They saw Yuan Wuji's body slip down to the left and right. Su Yun walked up to Wen Yanfeng, who was holding Su Ye's neck and still hesitating to kill her. "Only children play this kind of game. Do you think I care? I'm barefoot!" Su Yun reached out his hand and smiled, "Wen Yanfeng, my opponent has always been your father, not you. Don't overestimate yourself." Wen Yanfeng was sweating profusely and reluctantly let go of his hand. "You killed the royal family and the son of the prefect of Jingzhao. You are certain to die..." Su Yun's other hand grabbed Su Ye's test paper and handed it to her, saying lightly, "Su Ye, I have seen your test paper. Your foundation is not solid enough to pass the Heavenly Academy's examination. Go back and practice for another two years." He waved his hand, and Su Ye, who was bewildered, took the test paper and left.
