Chapter 551: Chapter 549: The Pure Good Are Unstained by Karma

"You really can’t go in."

Su Qing’s hearing was sharp; of course he could hear what was happening below.

"Brother, how about I switch to a different room?" Su Qianyou had also heard the commotion.

This surprised Su Qing quite a bit.

Her cultivation was only at the Foundation Establishment Realm, yet the room had a Tier Three sound-dampening Array.

For Su Qianyou to still be able to sense the situation outside was truly rare.

"If you want to switch, we’ll switch. It’s not like we’re short on resources, right?" Su Qing laughed. He wouldn’t get into a dispute over a mere Tier Three Junior Cultivator.

"You really can’t go in."

Since the room was protected by an Array, the Array pulsed for a moment under the assault.

Su Qing deactivated the Array.

The door flew off its hinges.

"My, what refined taste you two have."

"I heard. Steward Yin, just arrange a normal room for me. Let’s not make a scene," Su Qing said with complete indifference. Su Qianyou’s expression didn’t change either; she remained focused on the food on the table, still very much interested.

"Peak Lord, I apologize for the trouble. Please forgive my incompetence," Yin Jia said, bowing respectfully from the side.

"It’s nothing."

"So it’s you, punk? You’re the one who stole my top-class room?"

"Peak Lord? Hah! I’ve never heard of anyone like you in the Taiqing Sacred Land!" Sui Jinhao had a very short fuse. Seeing that Su Qing wasn’t any famous big shot from the Taiqing Sacred Land only fueled his rage.

He had only just returned to the Sacred Land and had no idea who the Peak Lord of Zuyang Peak was.

"Steward Yin, just arrange any room for us. My original hope was simply to not be disturbed." Su Qing ignored the other man’s fury.

"Hey, punk, I’m talking to you!" Sui Jinhao’s eyes blazed with anger as he pointed at Su Qing.

"Insolent!" A wave of Su Qing’s pressure descended upon the man. He couldn’t withstand it for even a second. Instantly, he coughed up a mouthful of bloody foam, his Divine Soul was wounded, and he collapsed to the ground, unable to get up.

Su Qing’s expression remained completely indifferent.

"Since you are a True Inheritor of my Zuyang Peak, for the crime of disrespecting a superior, you are demoted to Outer Elder. As punishment, you will spend one month in the Ice Ghost Cage," Su Qing said flatly. He emanated no aura whatsoever.

But this very nonchalance filled the nearby Yin Jia with terror. The arrogant young man from just a moment ago was now unconscious on the floor.

Su Qing beckoned for Steward Qin with a single gesture. Qin Shurong was completely baffled...

"Deal with him. Demote him to Outer Elder for disrespecting a superior. Once he recovers, send him to the Ice Ghost Cage for a month as punishment," Su Qing said, pointing to the man on the floor.

Qin Shurong cupped his fist in his hand and said with solemn respect, "Yes, Peak Lord."

"Since this is their room, Steward Yin, arrange another one for me."

"My sister hasn’t finished eating. Oh, and bring out every single dish your chef knows how to make."

Ignoring Sui Jinhao on the floor, Su Qing picked up Su Qianyou.

"Let’s find another place to eat. I can’t believe it’s so hard to find a quiet spot."

"Brother, can’t you cook? Why didn’t we eat on the peak?"

"Your brother is tired and doesn’t feel like cooking. It’s hard work," Su Qing laughed.

"Really? Then I want to try."

"Of course you can. Once I’ve secretly learned all of the chef’s specialties here, I’ll whip them up for you back on the peak," Su Qing said with a smile and left the room.

Yin Jia led the way. ’If it were me,’ she thought, ’I’d find it hard to accept Su Qianyou’s face. It’s too hideous.’

’But I also envy Su Qianyou so much.’

’To have a Peak Lord for a brother, and one who doesn’t mind her ugliness at all.’

’If being ugly could get me a brother like that, I’d rather not have this damned beauty!!!’

But the little sister’s voice suddenly piped up from behind, "Brother, it seems like the person in front wants you to be her brother, too."

’This is awkward! She can actually read minds!’

Instantly, Steward Yin didn’t dare let her thoughts stray, afraid of offending the Peak Lord behind her.

"Hahaha~ No one else. Only you can be my sister. I wouldn’t accept anyone else."

In truth, Su Qing could also read minds, but he generally didn’t pay attention to such things.

There were many mid-tier rooms.

Su Qing and Su Qianyou waited for their food in one of them.

"By the way, Peak Lord, should I specify the grade of the Spiritual Vegetables?" Yin Jia could sense the Foundation Establishment aura from Su Qianyou, so she asked cautiously.

The Spirit Chef at Spiritual Snacks was a Tier Three Spirit Chef, capable of making up to Third Grade Spiritual Food. A cultivator in the Foundation Establishment Realm generally couldn’t absorb the Spiritual Energy from Third Grade Spiritual Food.

"No need. Just bring everything that’s delicious." Su Qing thought for a moment. Even if Su Qianyou really couldn’t digest it, he could help her.

But Su Qing sensed that Su Qianyou’s power was unfathomably deep, so he figured there wouldn’t be a problem.

"Brother, are the Dragon Liver and Phoenix Gall mentioned in books also ingredients? Do they have that here?"

"Er..."

"No."

"If you want to eat it, I’ll go catch a Dragon and a Phoenix for you to try," Su Qing said with a smile.

He hadn’t expected Su Qianyou to be so interested in food.

"I was just asking. It would be wrong to eat them," Su Qianyou said, shaking her head.

"But you’ve eaten plenty of other meat. Dragon Liver and Phoenix Gall are no different."

Having just closed the door, Yin Jia was filled with immense envy.

’When will I ever have a brother like that?’

’I want to eat Dragon Liver and Phoenix Gall too.’

Aside from envy, there was only more envy.

She hadn’t gotten far when Yin Jia was stopped.

Xuanyuan Simi stopped her, a smile on his face. "Steward Yin, where did Sui Zhenchuan go?"

"He offended the Peak Lord, passed out, and was taken away by Steward Qin. He’s been demoted to an Outer Elder, and after he recovers, he has to spend a month in the Ice Ghost Cage."

"I told him he was a Peak Lord, but he just wouldn’t believe me." Xuanyuan Simi found the whole thing incredible.

"Xian Mingde, Zhou Wu Jiao, Nan Yangyang, what do you have to say now?"

They were listening from the side. Zhou Wu Jiao said, "That’s just how arrogant he is. He kept putting on an act, and now look. He can’t keep it up anymore, and he’s gone and offended someone important."

"Our Yangyang doesn’t like people like that at all."

"Yangyang clearly rejected him, but he was still so shameless and persistent. Good riddance. Now that he’s been demoted to an Outer Elder, we can eat and drink by ourselves."

"Then again, our peak actually has a Peak Lord now?"

"I’m not sure. I just got back myself," Xuanyuan Simi said, shaking his head.

Xian Mingde chimed in, "I came back with Brother Xuanyuan. I don’t know much either."

Nan Yangyang’s clear and gentle voice spoke up, "I happen to know a little. He’s apparently an Alchemy Master, and he has a sister with a... unique appearance. Lord Zhang said that offending Peak Lord Su is one thing, but you must never offend the Peak Lord’s sister."

"I have a projection here. Take a look. Be more careful if you see her in the future." Nan Yangyang took out a Memory Capturing Artifact.

It displayed an image of Su Qianyou.

"HISS..." Xuanyuan Simi glanced at it, then quickly looked away.

Xian Mingde, however, committed the image to memory, while Zhou Wu Jiao was simply shocked. "No wonder they said her appearance was ’unique’."

"Yangyang, you sure have a way with words."

"Wu Jiao, don’t say too much. I heard the Peak Lord’s power is comparable to the Saint Lord’s."

The other three were horrified. It was too incredible to believe. No wonder Lord Zhang hadn’t become the Peak Lord of Zuyang Peak.

The Peak Lord was actually a Ninth Realm Great Power. The three of them suddenly fell silent.

After a long pause, Zhou Wu Jiao finally spoke, "If looking like that could get me a Peak Lord for a brother, I think I could accept it."

"It’s obvious the Peak Lord adores his sister."

"Yangyang, I want a brother like that too! WAAAH~" Zhou Wu Jiao hugged Nan Yangyang and rubbed against her.

Nan Yangyang held down Zhou Wu Jiao’s restless hands and body; she was already used to this.

...

"Qianyou, is it good?" Su Qing asked.

Su Qianyou nodded. "It’s delicious. When I eat these dishes, they also replenish my Spiritual Qi."

"It replenishes your Spiritual Qi, but then you just let it all escape, so it’s like you’re not getting any at all," Su Qing laughed.

Su Qianyou’s nature hadn’t seemed to change at all. The only exception was Su Qing’s rather startling discovery just now: the karma attached to all these dishes was somehow being completely returned.

This was what made her most special. The beasts Su Qing had slaughtered before were all from within his Micro Acupoint World.

They were born because of Su Qing’s existence and died by Su Qing’s hand. The karma between them effectively cancelled itself out. Or rather, Su Qing shouldered all the karma himself, so he had never noticed this phenomenon before.

But Su Qianyou’s situation was different.

A person of Pure Goodness accrues no karma.

’Terrifying.’
