Originally, Master Zhiyu was still a bit hesitant, but the more Su Buyu refused, the more she felt sorry for this sensible daughter.

This was the image of the perfect daughter in her mind.

But as for Su Li... Just looking at her beautiful and delicate face made her angry, and vaguely, there was also some fear.

Master Zhiyu didn’t understand why she would feel a hint of fear towards her daughter. Clearly, her talent was poor, and her cultivation was low. If not for the title of fiancée to True Monarch Haoyuan, she would have been swallowed whole by others long ago.

Not to mention, the thought of her own stagnant cultivation filled her with bitterness and left her unable to feel any closeness to her daughter.

"Don’t refuse, this is also your father’s wish."

Seeing her mother say this, Su Buyu hesitated for a moment, looked at Su Li with guilt, pursed her lips without speaking, and silently accepted.

Su Li interpreted Su Buyu’s earlier glance as both a provocation and a display of pride.

The look of a victor’s delight.

"Master Zhiyu, I’m sorry... I refuse." As Su Li finished speaking, she twitched her little finger, and the glazed lamp in Su Buyu’s hand burst without warning.

The glass shards scattered like sharp blades, cutting into the skin of those nearby, leaving stripes of blood.

Master Zhiyu reacted swiftly, activating her Defensive Magic Shield in time, covering a few young disciples behind her.

However, Su Buyu was the closest to the Luminous Cup and was the first to bear the brunt.... No matter how fast Master Zhiyu’s response was, it couldn’t be faster than the sudden change.

Even though she enveloped most of the Luminous Cup’s fragments with Spiritual Energy, Su Buyu still got severely injured.

The most severe scar ran across her right cheek, from the corner of the mouth to the base of the ear, deep enough to expose the bone.

Although Su Buyu had reached Foundation Establishment Perfection in cultivation, she had never experienced much spell combat or training. Her reflexes and alertness were still lacking. It wasn’t until she felt pain on her face, and her hand found a handful of blood, that she screamed in terror.

"Mom, I, I’ve been disfigured." Su Buyu was utterly at a loss, panicked, lacking even the demeanor of a cultivator at Foundation Establishment Perfection. It could be said that even the performance of Qi Cultivation disciples might have been better than hers.

The young disciples behind Master Zhiyu exchanged looks, their expressions mysterious and their feelings complex.

It seemed that even Sister Buyu wasn’t as formidable as everyone believed.

They considered that if they stood in Sister Buyu’s place, though it might not be possible to avoid all injuries, they wouldn’t get injured to the same extent.

Moreover, for those who cultivate immortality, as long as they have a breath left, even if their limbs are broken, they are only minor injuries, and would not react with such cries and panic.

The young disciples had complex feelings, while over there, Su Buyu was seething with resentment, wanting to tear off Su Li’s beautiful face and throw it to the ground.

It must have been intentional.

"Don’t be afraid, I have a top-grade Snowflake Jade Dew Pill." Master Zhiyu quickly took out a porcelain bottle, dispensed a crystal-clear, phosphorescent pill into her hand, and swiftly let Su Buyu swallow it down.

The scars on Su Buyu’s skin healed and disappeared visibly. Her skin even became a few shades more fair than before.

Those young disciples present felt their hearts ache, internally shouting about waste and squandering a treasure....

Such small scars could have been healed with a low-level Spirit Replenishing Pill, so why waste a top-grade Snowflake Jade Dew Pill?

That was a Snowflake Jade Dew Pill worth its weight in gold, let alone at the top grade. It’s priceless.

Low-grade Snowflake Jade Dew Pills can quickly regenerate flesh and blood, middle-grade ones can detoxify, replenish spirit, and regenerate bones, while high-grade ones are even more powerful. As long as there is a breath left, they can prolong life.

As for the top grade.... It’s said that not only can it prolong life, but it can also enhance a person’s cultivation.

That’s a life-saving treasure.

Using such a treasure not during a life-threatening moment, but instead for a minor scratch, left those who witnessed it feeling deeply pained, wishing they could personally retrieve the pill from Su Buyu’s stomach.

Master Zhiyu, in a moment of impulse, also regretted it.

The moment she took out the Jade Dew Pill, she regretted it. Although she only had one Jade Dew Pill, the injuries on Buyu were not fatal. It would be fine to wait a little longer to return to the Main Peak to fetch a Spirit Replenishing Pill.

She was influenced by Buyu’s panic-stricken expression and lost her composure.

Unexpectedly, Buyu acted so quickly, swiftly snatching the Jade Dew Pill and swallowing it.

She wanted to change her mind but it was too late.

Master Zhiyu felt a strange discomfort in her heart, always feeling that Buyu’s actions were a bit too hurried.

The highly perceptive Su Buyu, not yet recovered from the joy of her cultivation advancing, noticed a faint displeasure on her mother’s face. She quickly restrained her inner joy, not showing a hint of it on her face, instead, lowering her head in guilt and regret, and unconsciously tugged at the knot on her waist, softly saying, "Mom, I’m sorry... just now, I was just too flustered...."

Looking at Su Buyu’s manner, the small spark of anger that had just arisen in Master Zhiyu’s heart dissipated, leaving her feeling pitifully soft-hearted.

Whenever Buyu felt scared or guilty, she would unconsciously pull at her clothes.

Forget it, she didn’t do it on purpose.

Su Buyu keenly sensed her mother’s mood improving and couldn’t help but show a small smile, getting close to Master Zhiyu warmly, "Mom, the Jade Dew Pill is amazing, my cultivation has progressed again, and I even feel the barriers loosening, the breakthrough is near."

"Really?" Master Zhiyu was overjoyed, "That’s truly wonderful. Once you reach the Golden Core Stage, Bijian Peak will have another powerful warrior."

The other young disciples also gathered their complex emotions and congratulated Su Buyu with smiling faces.

Master Zhiyu let go of her last bit of regret over the Snowflake Jade Dew Pill.

Seeing this, Su Buyu’s smile grew wider.

While harmony reigned on this side, there was another commotion on the other.

Su Li: "Sister, I suspect you did it on purpose. You’ve been eyeing Master Zhiyu’s Snowflake Jade Dew Pill, right?"

"Otherwise, even I, with my low cultivation, could avoid it. You are almost at Golden Core, and still let yourself get injured like this, are you kidding us?"

Su Li, in her soft, sweet voice, tilted her head with a hint of innocent coquettishness, blinked, and gave Su Buyu a look that said, "I understand you."

Blink, blink, blink, blink your eyes for what?

Su Buyu hated Su Li’s innocent face to death. But now... What mattered more was how she should explain.

Her mother’s face darkened again, uncertain whether it was for her or for Su Li.... The eerie eyes of those young disciples were insignificant.

Actually just now, those young disciples also had some doubts, but they didn’t dare to speak.

Unexpectedly, Su Li was so bold.

Su Buyu tightly pinched the web between her thumb and forefinger, feeling aggrieved, "Ah Lee, why do you have such a deep prejudice against me? I even want to ask you, was it you who caused the glass lamp to explode suddenly just now? How come you refused, and then it exploded...."
