Honkai Impact 3rd, but I have too many mods.

Su Mei's words left Ye Lan speechless.

Indeed, although she had never directly entered the True Lord's cave, she had learned about it through various channels.

"Shouldn't it be more ethereal and otherworldly?"

"What does 'having the bearing of an immortal' mean?" Su Mei replied.

Fu Hua pretended to be dead on the side; she was in the wrong and couldn't respond to his words.

Ye Lan was emotionally intelligent enough; she glanced at Fu Hua but said nothing more.

Is the immortal demeanor dignified and otherworldly enough?

That's definitely enough, but the immortal next to me can't be used as an example in this situation.

These people are also disciples of the immortals, and they even have some grievances against Fu Hua.

If this line of conversation continues, without a doubt, the topic will eventually turn into "whether a master who has been on the run for twenty years can be considered a sage or immortal."

If we get to that point, the conversation will die.

"Ahem, let's talk about something else."

Liu Bai spoke up, realizing he really shouldn't get involved in this family affair that was laced with barbs and sarcasm.

"By the way, speaking of making a living, Su Mei, is working as Ningguang's secretary at the Chamber of Commerce also part of making a living?"

Seeing how Liu Bai and Su Mei were chatting, Ma Yanqing knew he hadn't flattered them wrong. He scratched his head, got up, and went out.

There's no point in staying here. I don't know anyone here well, and I don't have much to talk about with my master for the time being. I might as well go and call some other people over.

"Hmm... You became Ningguang's secretary, probably because it's interesting?" Su Mei thought for a moment and smiled. "After all, Ningguang's rise to power is quite legendary. Oh, and there's also the fact that it's easy work, pays well, and is close to home."

Such a ridiculous reason: easy work, high pay, and close to home. If it meets one of these criteria, it's a decent job; if it meets two, it's a top-notch job; if it meets all three…

Ye Lan pursed her lips. What was she, the head of the secret service, anyway? It seemed like all she got was a lot of money.

"Is your job that easy?" Ye Lan glanced at Su Mei. "I remember there's a huge pile of all sorts of economic data in Qunyu Pavilion, right?"

"With 300 and Senior Sister Gan Yu, it's quite easy to slack off." Su Mei smiled slightly, not hiding her fact that she was a pay thief at all. "Of course, it's not as leisurely as when Master went to St. Freya as a student."

Although she is a student, she is also a Valkyrie, and this job is actually paid, and the salary from Destiny is not low at all.

Fu Hua continued to play dead.

Su Mei looked at Fu Hua, who was determined to play dead to the very end, with a half-smile.

"Ahem, by the way, is there a big age difference between you two? Fu Hua looks like she doesn't recognize Mr. Ma."

Ye Lan also helped to shift the firepower. After Su Mei returned, she was noticeably more aggressive towards Fu Hua.

"Hmm... not by much, but it's been almost twenty years."

Is it true that the disciples of immortals possess the secret to eternal youth?

Hearing this, Ye Lan sighed inwardly. Su Mei at that time was definitely a capable person, at least eighteen or nineteen if she was not twenty.

Su Mei looks like she's in her early twenties.

After Su Mei's sarcastic remarks were interrupted one after another, she seemed to have given up on continuing the sarcastic remarks, and the group started chatting normally about everyday matters.

A short while later, a beautiful woman in traditional Chinese style wearing an apron walked in.

"Chaoyu greets Master." Upon seeing Fu Hua for the first time, the other party prepared to kneel down in worship.

Lin Chaoyu, Fu Hua's eldest disciple, like Su Mei, is a youthful version.

"Alright, Chaoyu, it's been so long, you don't need to be like this."

Upon seeing this person, Fu Hua stopped pretending to be dead and quickly got up to help Lin Chaoyu.

Hmm... my eldest apprentice hasn't changed much; she's just as pretty as she was back then.

Let me introduce you...

"No need, my junior sister and Xiao Ma'er have already told me."

As Lin Chaoyu spoke, she bowed slightly to Liu Bai.

Fu Hua was taken aback, then understood.

Although she didn't have her own disciples' contact information, Su Mei certainly did.

This matter must have been discussed beforehand.

...The more I thought about it, the more incompetent I felt as a master.

"I have met Mr. Liu Bai. My master has been taken care of by you."

Fu Hua: "...?"

Me? I was taken care of?

Fu Hua glanced at Su Mei, who gave her an innocent smile.

"Did Master cause you any trouble?"

No... probably not.

For some reason, Liu Bai thought of Fu Hua as a lover.

That Fu Hua is indeed a bit troublesome.

Fu Hua's face also flushed slightly, clearly Liu Bai's tone reminded her of what had happened before.

"...?" Lin Chaoyu was no child either; in fact, her experience was only slightly less than Su Mei's.

Why does the atmosphere between my master and Mr. Liu Bai seem a little off?

Is Su Mei hiding something from me?

Lin Chaoyu glanced at Su Mei out of the corner of her eye, but Su Mei still had the same indifferent expression.

Fine, I can't outsmart Su Mei by playing mind games myself.

My junior sister is truly skilled in both literature and martial arts. Although she had taught Su Mei martial arts before, Su Mei actually surpassed her in a very short time.

After that, Su Mei taught the martial arts to the junior sisters and brothers.

Of the seven swordswomen, Ling Shuang can be considered the first, and Su Mei is the second.

As for Xiao Ba Cheng Lixue... well, he may resemble his master, but his natural talent is really lacking.

"Chaoyu, I heard Xiaoma mention Sushang before..."

"Su Chang was an abandoned baby that my disciple and Su Yi found when they went out more than ten years ago. They took her in because they felt sorry for her."

Lin Chaoyu explained.

"It's fortunate, really. That child's martial arts talent is one in a million. Under Ling Shuang's tutelage, he reached the Sword God realm a few years ago."

"Sword God... how old is that child?" Fu Hua's eyes showed a hint of surprise.

Ye Lan was equally surprised.

As far as she knew, the Taixu lineage consisted of mortals cultivating immortality.

Reaching the realm of Sword God is essentially equivalent to becoming an immortal. Compared to a true immortal, the only difference lies in the accumulation of time and reputation.

"He attained the Sword Godhood at sixteen, and is eighteen this year."

Lin Chaoyu replied.

However, after hearing this, Fu Hua's expression calmed down considerably.

Yes, this level is incredible, but it's not the most incredible she's ever seen.

Cheng Ling Shuang, the fifth son of the family, comprehended the Sword God at the age of thirteen. He is truly unprecedented and unparalleled. In a one-on-one situation, he would most likely be able to defeat her, this "True Immortal." This was taught by Su Mei, who was only responsible for passing on the incantation and mental techniques.

It's acceptable that someone as young as sixteen as Cheng Ling Shuang could comprehend the Sword God's power, given that Cheng Ling Shuang was the one who taught him. However, what's surprising is that someone as aloof as Cheng Ling Shuang would actually teach others.

Of course, the Sword God himself is not so easy to comprehend.

Su Mei is still one step away from becoming a Sword God; whether she can make it is a matter of probability.

Like Lin Chaoyu and the others, if they don't have a great stroke of luck in this life, this is where their lives will end.

Three swordsmen from one family—this growth is truly astonishing.

"Su Chang! Li Xue, come in too!"

Lin Chaoyu turned around and called out, and two figures, one tall and one short, walked in from outside.

"Master!"

Cheng Lixue, who resembled Fu Hua by seven parts, clasped her hands slightly in greeting to Fu Hua—not out of estrangement, but because neither of them, master and disciple, were good at communication.

As for the short, quirky girl, she was more concerned about Liu Bai beside her than Fu Hua.

"Su Chang, come quickly and greet your grandmaster."

Lin Chaoyu reached out and tapped Li Sushang.

"Su Chang greets Grandmaster Grandmother." Upon hearing Lin Chaoyu speak, Li Su Chang bowed to Fu Hua in a clear and crisp voice.

Fu Hua: "..."

Grandmaster Grandmother?

Although I've reached this generation, the title "Grandma" can be completely omitted...

Chapter 211 It's reasonable for a brat to have a big bear, right?

"Children speak without restraint, children speak without restraint."

Lin Chaoyu reached out and tapped Li Sushang again, then looked at Fu Hua somewhat awkwardly.

Yes, this is a very complicated kind of awkwardness.

On the one hand, Li Sushang really doesn't know how to read the room.

On the other hand... there's actually nothing wrong with this name.

Fu Huaguang is old enough to be a "grandmother".

"No...it's nothing." Fu Hua's expression was somewhat subtle. It was clear that even though she didn't care much about age, Li Sushang's words had somewhat damaged her Dao heart.

After all, very few people actually use the term "grandmother".

Many people know she is older, but they usually call her "senior." Some of the bolder ones, seeing that they look younger, simply treat her as an equal.

This is the first time I've ever seen someone like Li Sushang who comes up calling someone "Grandma" as if you can't even see what she looks like.

"..."

Liu Bai looked at Li Sushang with a slightly strange expression.

Hmm... his intuition told him that Li Sushang might be calling him that on purpose, being "mischievous" here.

She's eighteen years old already, and she's still spouting childish nonsense? She's a grown woman, okay?

Li Sushang seemed to notice Liu Bai's gaze, looked at him playfully, stuck out her tongue, and then made a face.

"...?"

Liu Bai turned his head and glanced at Peruvieri—that funny face he made just now was aimed at Peruvieri.

However, Peruvieri remained expressionless and unmoved.

"Children speak without thinking, it's understandable." Fu Hua comforted herself, "After all, this is the first time this child has met me."

There was a slight, undeniable sense of frustration.

"Alright, Su Chang, go have some fun." Lin Chaoyu patted Li Su Chang on the back of the head.

"Yes, Master Chaoyu!"

Li Sushang and her chest bounced as she went out.

"...It seems that life on Mount Taixu is really good."

This girl is this size, and with such a big lump on her chest... isn't she just overnourished?

"It's acceptable." Lin Chaoyu, somewhat unsure of his master's meaning, replied in a rigid and obedient manner.

"She calls you 'Master Uncle'?" Fu Hua took a deep breath and changed the subject. "Is she considered a disciple of Ling Shuang?"
