Chapter 6 (2/2)

The boy appeared to be honest and well-behaved. But he wasn’t!

“Come here!” the woman said to Yun Shu coldly.

Yun Shu dared not.

The woman kept gazing at him harshly in a threatening manner. Under her intense stare, Yun Shu sighed and came closer to the woman.

“Sit down! Look at me!” commanded the woman.

Yun Shu had no choice but to sit down. His eyes then looked at the woman’s face. It was also his first time to gaze at her face directly.

Yun Shu was astonished after a single look. Based on the woman’s temperament and messy hair, he had assumed that she must be an old, senior master with an unattractive appearance.

However, now that he was much closer to the woman, Yun Shu found that although her face was mostly covered with dust and mud, the remaining exposed skin was rather fair and smooth. Obviously, she was not old at all, contrary to what she appeared on the surface.

If she took a bath, she would definitely be a gorgeous beauty!

The lady snorted. “You experienced something like this before?”

Yun Shu tried to recall but failed, so he shook his head.

The lady thought about it for a while and murmured, “That’s strange. The power in you just woke up recently?”

“Master, can you elaborate a bit more?” Yun Shu hurriedly requested.

The lady nodded. “People born with golden pupils have a special kind of constitution. Golden Pupils is one of the four ‘ultimate eyes’ and is the most mysterious one among them. The other three eye techniques are Enlightened Eyes from Buddhism, Sky Eyes from Taoism, and Grey Pupils from Diabolism. Golden Pupils can not only see through everything as Enlightened Eyes and Sky Eyes do, but they can also launch attacks like Grey Pupils.”

1Yun Shu nodded, “So Golden Pupils are very powerful, right?”

The lady snorted again. “Of course! It comes first among the four ‘ultimate eyes’!”

Yun Shu’s heart was full of wild joy.

Behind that stone gate, he saw the man who looked almost identical to him. Furthermore, he also had a pair of golden pupils. Before the man’s body disintegrated, from his eyes, a beam of golden light had shot out and went directly into Yun Shu’s.

Did that man give Yun Shu his golden pupils?

As he mused, the lady said coldly, “Don’t celebrate too soon. A gifted man who doesn’t practice enough ends up nowhere. There’re plenty of such examples!”

Yun Shu bowed to the lady again. “Thanks for the teaching, Master.”

Then Yun Shu smiled. “We’ve known each other for two days already, but I still don’t know your name, Master.”

It took the lady a while before she answered, “Su Lingwen!”

Yun Shu repeated the name several times in a low voice.

Su Lingwen looked up at the sky and said, “It’s almost noon now. Find a place and hide yourself.”

Although he had made some progress in his cultivation, the killing winds could still be fatal to him.

He bowed to Su Lingwen again and walked back to his stone shelter. Soon after he returned, the killing winds started roaring like a tornado. As this would last for quite a while, Yun Shu pulled out the Book of Three Thousand Fiends.

Even though Yun Shu was already a cultivator now, he, nevertheless, needed to hone his martial skills a lot. While the sword intent he perceived from the stele was quite something, it would still take some time to turn it into his battle prowess. So Yun Shu had decided to stick to the book.

He flipped to the second page, concentrating his mind. Now with his cultivation technique, Yun Shu no longer needed the killing winds to help him make the book show its content; his hands kept smacking the book violently.
