Chapter 10: Lady Yun

n.o.body wanted her to come up*.

I stared really hard at this 没有人想她上来. I really feel like it should be “no one thought she would be able to make it up” based on context, but it’s missing a word to give it that meaning so I went with what it currently means.

But she really made it all the way here.

Chu Ling knitted her brows as she looked at Madam Su who was covered with blood lying on the floor. She even had a child on her back whose breathing was weak as gossamer, noticing this, Chu Ling’s brows furrowed even more.

Enlightened Spiritual Master had once left the mountain to see this old lady. It was precisely that day when she had just arrived, taken the White Jade Dew and squatted in the toilet for an entire day, giving off such a strong stench that no one could approach the surroundings. Enlightened Spiritual Master went, but without seeing her returned again. Chu Ling felt that taking out her White Jade Dew was worth it. Like this, there was no need to care about how much old affections there were, reckon it was all dispersed by that overpowering stench.

If not, then why did the Enlightened Spiritual Master never mention her these past few days?  It was just that, a few days ago Yuerong and a few sisters were making bets, could this old woman climb up the cloud ascending stairs or not? They all said she couldn’t, no one expected that the Enlightened Spiritual Master would suddenly appear and say she could.

“She can do a lot of things a lot of people are unable to.”

Chu Yuerong knew that she had once saved the Enlightened Spiritual Master’s life from under extremely dangerous circ.u.mstances. After taking care of him until he recovered, they got married. After the Enlightened Spiritual Master left, during chaotic times she raised two children by herself. It was just that those challenges of the mortal world was nothing in the eyes of those cultivators, so Chu Yuerong didn’t feel like she did anything that amazing, to deserve such faith from the Enlightened Spiritual Master.

He believes she can.

A seventy-year-old old lady with unusually lack of cultivation apt.i.tude who hadn’t even reach the first stage of Qi Condensation was able to, without any a.s.sistance at all, climb up the cloud ascending stairs. Not only did she not have help, she even had a burden. Chu Ling’s lips smoothed and with an indifferent wave of her hand, she cut through the vines wrapped around Su Tingyun and Li Xinmei’s bodies. Helping Su Tingyun up while frowning, she squeezed a pill into her mouth.

As for that half-dead little girl, Chu Ling hesitated for a moment, but then also stuffed a pill in her mouth.

The Enlightened Spiritual Master still counts as someone who attaches importance to emotion. At that time he said that this old woman would be able to climb up. Even though he didn’t go to meet her, but he also didn’t obstruct her from climbing up. Right now she still can’t quite grasp what exactly were his thoughts so for the time being it’d be best to be as benevolent as possible.

After taking the pill, Su Tingyun felt that her body became a lot less heavy. A ma.s.s of black was in front of her eyes, one leg had already stepped into the gates of h.e.l.l when she was forcefully yanked back by someone. Her eyelids opened, once again seeing light. When Su Tingyun woke up she found that she was currently lying on an ice-cold stone bed. With a rumble she turned over and sat up, sizing up the surroundings. Immediately, she saw Li Xinmei was lying on a bamboo bed at the side. She saw that her facial color was much ro

sier, evidently no longer in life-threatening danger.

Su Tingyun’s mood inevitable relaxed a lot, and she also had a higher opinion of the Enlightened Spiritual Master. She hadn’t even opened her mouth to beg the person yet, and they had already saved the person. Since he’s actually pretty good to her, then why did he leave a 70-year-old old lady by herself at the foot of the mountain. disregarding her and allowing her to fend for herself?

It couldn’t be that those subordinates of his deceived the higher ups and concealed it, that’s why it ended up like this? And that it really wasn’t according to Husband’s original intention?

The moment Su Tingyun woke up, the maid guarding outside already knew. Not long later, Chu Ling and Chu Yuerong walked in together. These two Su Tingyun recognized. Seeing them, Su Tingyun didn’t say anything bad and just exchanged sham polite greetings with that Chu Ling.

“Madam Su has such strong willpower, Chu Ling feels it is extremely admirable.” After Chu Ling finished speaking she gave a slight curtsy*. It could be considered as saluting Su Tingyun: “Even though the little girl you brought back was heavily injured, after we gave her medical treatment it’s already nothing to worry about. After resting for ten days to half a month, she should be able to completely recover.”

A slight bow forward at the waist with both your hands gathered at your waist.

“After a person enters Wuliang Mountain, they must ascend the cloud ascending stairs, we are all unable to meddle. These days were quite busy so no one went down to visit Madam Su, we must ask you to forgive us.” After saying this, Chu Ling gave an appropriate smile as she said:

“In a while, after the Enlightened Spiritual Master finishes giving his sermon he will come to visit Madam.”

The Enlightened Spiritual Master, and also the husband that the Old Madam bowed to heaven and earth with*. Now he’s a cultivator at the Golden Core stage, his position in Wuliang Mountain wasn’t low. He had taken ten inner disciples. The 9th and the 15th of every month he would take out some time to give the disciples some pointers and solve some of the difficulties of cultivation.

Chinese marriage custom, you bow once to the heaven and earth, once to the parents, and once to each other.
