That orchid tongue grass is in a bad state, according to Ren Yi(I), so Su Tingyun is burning with impatience. She doesn’t continue chatting with them as they’re flying high up in the sky. Once they’ve arrived at their destination, she hears Ren Er say that they’re at the Qianji Pavilion, and Su Tingyun is only finding that out this late. She blurts out, "Qianji Pavilion?"
She snuck into the bamboo forest to pray to the Qianji Pavilion, but the people of Qianji Pavilion have been dangling right under her nose for the better part of the month. The world hails the Qianji Pavilion for its amazing capabilities, that it is all-knowing, no secret is beyond them...
Su Tingyun immediately figures it out. She used to think that the orchid tongue grass would be a deadly tool as a spy network. She also thought that if anyone could use it, they would be able to seize an awful lot of information. Who knew that some people really did tinker with it to that effect.
"Did you get your information through orchid tongue grass?" Su Tingyun asks. She’s a little apprehensive as she voices this question, after all, it’s about someone else's trade secret. If others were to know that the orchid tongue grass growing right at their abode’s entrance is an eavesdropping device, they would raze all the grasses on the mountain in a fit of anger.
"Yes." Bai Su nods, not even trying to hide it.
Seeing that the three of them don’t care all that much, Su Tingyun breathes a sight of relief. She tries to say something else when Ren San says, "We’re here."
Qianji Pavilion is hidden in a lofty mountain range.
Su Tingyun scans with her Divine Sense but couldn’t perceive any buildings. But she follows the Ren brothers to tread through the calf-high grasses, moving forwards for about ten zhang (3.3m), only to find that the view before her eyes has suddenly changed. The mountain range has turned into plains, a vast and sprawling sea of grass, as far as they eye could see. The cool breeze is gentle, the grass leaves crest and trough like waves, tumbling on each other in layers upon layers like splashes on the ocean, even the sounds are similar to waves crashing on the shore.
Ren Yi (II) jumps on the tips the green grass, stepping on a wave, and is sent away by the tides. He disappears in the blink of an eye.
Ren Jia turns his head to glance at Su Tingyun. This grass sea is an array. First-timers need someone to lead the way before they could enter the Qianji Pavilion, otherwise they will forever be trapped in the constantly changing sea of grass. Even Tribulation Transcendents would find it very difficult to escape. Ren Yi (II) has already made his escape. At this moment, the only ones who could guide her through this would be himself or his Lord.
Guiding would require holding her hand.
Ren Jia can’t figure out what his Lord is thinking, saying that he doesn’t like other people touching him, but Su Tingyun has repeatedly touched the orchid tongue grass that is the same as his Divine Soul. But after all, it's not actual physical contact, so Ren Jia should still take the initiative to lead the person in question, right?
Ren Jia stews in indecision, but as he finally intends to reach out and pull Su Tingyun, Su Tingyun is already following Ren Er's lead and uses the wind protection skill to step on the tips of the grass blades.
The next moment, she feels the world start spinning, and in the panic, a hand reaches out to grab her.
"Thank you."
Granny is not shy at all, she clutches the other person’s hands tightly. She is strong, and her grip is like a vise.
Bai Su's face is unsightly. This is the second time she’s wringing him by the hands. Both of Ren Jia and Ren Yi are useless. There’s nothing to say about Ren Yi, he’s always been unreliable. But this time, even Ren Jia made this kind of blunder. They’re letting him handle such a trivial task.
After passing through the sea of grass, there is a pool.
The pool is shaped like a crescent moon, and the deep water is crystal clear. There are small silver fishes within it, and there are a lot of lovely stones of various colors at the bottom of the pool, which makes the sparkling water surface change colors from time to time. It looks extremely beautiful. As they pass by, Su Tingyun can’t help but look at it several times.
As a result, Ren Yi (I) heavily throws off her hand, sleeves fluttering with the strong wind. She quickly releases her hold.
After passing the Crescent Lake, there are three steps of moss-covered stone stairs and a wooden door. The wooden door and stone steps are buried in the sea of grass, looking very desolate. With a creaking sound, they push the door and go in. There are pavilions and gazebos, a pond hall and waterside pavilion, maple woods and elegant bamboos, nothing more beautiful can be imagined.
Some white clothed cultivators are sweeping the fallen leaves. As they see people coming in, they all turn around and humbly smile at them.
Su Tingyun follows Ren Yi (I) forward, and after a few steps, she sees a big tree before her. There’s a pond built under the tree, and there’s a house next to it, which is extremely similar to where she lived on the Heaven Firmament Peak of the Wuliang Sect.
Su Tingyun rushes over. In the pond, the two leaves of the orchid tongue grass are drooping on the soil. The leaves are shriveled and lack moisture, exposing the small red veins in the middle
She shifts around and goes into the pond, and begins to perform the Rain from Spring Wind art.
