A Good Teacher

After Yuer learned of Su Qing's residence from Lady Chang'e.

She rushed over without a moment's delay...

She really wanted to confirm whether this Su Qing was the Big Green Snake she knew.

Upon entering the courtyard, Yuer immediately spotted the little sparrows flapping their wings and flying about.

As well as a ginkgo tree and a small Bodhi tree.

Naturally, the woman she had seen while pounding medicine today was also here.

And she had also spotted her, currently sitting by the stone table, looking at her with a face full of smiles...

"It's been a long time, Miss Yuer."

Seeing Yuer's changing expression, Su Qing couldn't help but reveal a smile.

Although she couldn't handle a lively and active older sister like Lady Chang'e...

But could she really not handle a little rabbit who was so easy to bully?

She could totally bully her however she wanted!

Moreover, she wasn't worried about the rabbit going to tattle, as Sister Chang'e had said she could play with the rabbit however she liked.

"......"

Yuer stared at Su Qing, looking left and right, somewhat unable to believe it, and asked:

"Are you... really Su Qing? That Big Green Snake from the Puti Daoist Academy who knew absolutely nothing?"

Hearing this, Su Qing smiled gracefully and said, "Could I possibly be a fake? However, I thought you wouldn't remember me! I didn't expect you to still remember me and even recognize me?"

Yuer curled her lip and said with dissatisfaction:

"I had almost forgotten, but seeing that irritating expression of yours today, I remembered again. Never mind transformation—I'd recognize you even if you turned to ash."

The reason Yuer remembered Su Qing was actually quite simple.

Because Yuer spent most of her time busy pounding medicine and helping Lady Chang'e with small tasks, she had seen very few people, and she rarely descended to the mortal realm...

So she remembered most of the things she experienced after descending.

Especially those things that made her unhappy.

She remembered those quite clearly...

Simply put, it was a deep memory caused purely by holding a grudge.

Su Qing couldn't help but laugh and said, "So that's how it is. It seems you're quite the grudge-holder!"

"It's not holding a grudge; it's just that there are very few people who can irritate me. It just so happens you're one of them!"

Yuer's personality shared some common traits with Lady Chang'e; she sat down directly opposite Su Qing.

She couldn't help but say with a face full of curiosity:

"So, Big Green Snake, how exactly have you been cultivating? How is it that after not seeing you for only a hundred years or so, you've already cultivated to such a realm?"

Su Qing was slightly stunned for a moment, then smiled helplessly.

Regarding cultivation, she hadn't really paid much attention to it.

She just followed the steps one by one.

As she practiced, she reached this realm without even realizing it.

Thus, Su Qing could only reply helplessly, "It's just normal, step-by-step cultivation... there's nothing special about it. If I had to say, it's probably just perseverance."

Although Su Qing was telling the truth, to Yuer's ears, it sounded quite like bragging.

After all, how could anyone just casually cultivate to such a realm?

Is the Earthly Immortal realm something that can be reached just like that?

Do you know how much time I spent to reach it?

But Yuer really didn't want to argue about such things with Su Qing, because even if they did, she would be the only one losing out in the end.

So it was pointless...

"Forget it, who told you to have such a good master! I can't be bothered to argue with you."

Yuer curled her lip and spoke of other things instead, saying:

"By the way, I heard my mistress say that you'll be holding a post in the Moon Palace? I'm a bit curious, what position exactly are you taking in the Moon Palace? And why did you come here to serve?"

As good as the Moon Palace was, very few people usually came here.

Firstly, it was quite idle and boring here, and secondly, while there was little work, the possibility of promotion was also quite low.

"I don't know... Sister Chang'e didn't tell me. She said I didn't need to know and just told me to play around; someone else will do my work."

Speaking of this, Su Qing was also quite helpless. She had come to the Moon Palace to be an official, yet she didn't even know what kind of official she was.

"As for the reason for coming to the Moon Palace... it's actually because I caused some trouble in the mortal world, and His Majesty offered me amnesty."

Su Qing although she didn't hide anything, it left Yuer quite speechless, not knowing how to respond.

"......"

Yuer opened her mouth, but in the end, she said nothing.

Although Lady Chang'e usually had a lively personality, she very rarely allowed others to call her Sister Chang'e.

After all, she was the mistress of the Lunar Palace; her dignity had to be maintained regardless.

Therefore, unless it was someone close to her, she would certainly not allow such a form of address.

This was why Yuer was somewhat speechless; after all, Lady Chang'e had asked her to call her Sister upon their very first meeting...

The sense of closeness in this was simply too obvious...

She really couldn't understand why.

Seeing Yuer's silence, Su Qing couldn't help but ask, "My work hasn't been added to your plate, has it?"

"......" Yuer said gloomily, "Don't be a jinx, okay? Mistress is so good to me, how could she possibly put your work on me?"

Yuer did not intend to tell Su Qing about the matter of the address. She didn't know what her mistress's plans were, so she naturally couldn't take it upon herself to act.

Therefore, she only snapped back at Su Qing's question...

Su Qing didn't know how many things Yuer had just thought about; she only nodded slightly at the previous words and said:

"That's good. If my work were added to you, I would feel somewhat bad about it."

"I don't see you looking like you feel bad at all," Yuer rolled her eyes and said speechlessly.

Su Qing only smiled upon hearing this.

She didn't go to explain whether she felt bad or not.

She just spoke of other matters.

"Saying that, you once said you were going to kick my butt. Now my realm has surpassed yours, and even my strength has surpassed yours."

Su Qing said with a beaming smile:

"It looks like you won't be able to kick it after all!"

Hearing this, Yuer was somewhat speechless and said, "Who said that? Just you wait... I'll find an opportunity. This Moon Rabbit settles all scores!"

"Is that so?"

Su Qing propped up her chin and said with a beaming smile:

"But for a rabbit like you to come and seek revenge on a snake like me, isn't that a bit too bold? Aren't you afraid of being eaten by me?"

"......First of all, I am not a rabbit! Secondly, I am not a rabbit! I am a Moon Rabbit, and a Moon Rabbit is not a rabbit!!!"

Yuer looked at Su Qing with a displeased face, emphasizing that she was a Moon Rabbit, while also saying:

"Additionally, you can't eat me! You wouldn't dare eat me either. No matter what, I am Mistress's Moon Rabbit! If you ate me, Mistress would definitely settle the score with you."

Speaking of this, Yuer was very confident.

On one hand, it was naturally her trust in her mistress, and on the other, she felt that Su Qing wasn't the kind of person who would do something so foolish.

So she naturally wasn't worried at all that Su Qing would actually eat her.

"How do you know which 'eat' I'm talking about?"

Seeing her acting so fearlessly, Su Qing couldn't help but feel a playful urge. She had been left speechless by Lady Chang'e earlier; now she could get some payback on this rabbit.

With that thought, she couldn't help but reach out and cup Yuer's small face, saying with a beaming smile:

"And who knows, with Sister Chang'e's personality, she might even be happy if you were eaten!"

Hearing this, Yuer was first slightly stunned, but she soon caught the meaning.

She wasn't some stupid rabbit who knew nothing; she knew more or less about the other implications in those words.

So, when she realized the meaning, she hurriedly slapped away Su Qing's hand and retreated a few steps.

"You... shameless!" Yuer said through gritted teeth.

Su Qing smiled slightly, "This reaction is truly not unexpected at all!"

Hearing this, Yuer snorted coldly and said, "How can you be so thick-skinned!?"

"I care about my face quite a lot," Su Qing said. "Besides, I'm a woman; I can't really do anything to you, can I?"

"Liar! There's plenty you can do!" Yuer said with dissatisfaction.

Yuer felt that Su Qing was truly shameless, now even pretending to be ignorant! What a liar!

Su Qing smiled upon hearing this and didn't argue further.

She stopped teasing the little creature...

In any case, she had gotten her payback for being bullied by Lady Chang'e.

"Forget it, I can't be bothered to talk to you. Since I already know you're that irritating green snake, I'm leaving!" Yuer curled her lip and said.

Yuer was in a hurry to leave, partly because she was afraid the green snake really would eat her.

And if it really were that kind of thing...

With her mistress's personality, she would likely open a jar of Daughter Red wine to celebrate.

Although it sounded a bit ridiculous, Lady Chang'e really did have such a personality and would indeed do such a thing.

Seeing Yuer about to leave, Su Qing didn't stop her, only waving her hand to see her off.

Originally, Su Qing had planned to say something else, but after thinking about it, she decided not to irritate the little girl further.

Lest this grudge-holding girl hold an even deeper grudge.

After seeing off the Moon Rabbit, the idle Su Qing went back to her cultivation.

Su Qing's life in the Moon Palace could now be said to have truly entered the right track.

The sparrows adapted to life in the Moon Palace even faster than Su Qing.

They were always able to adapt to a new life quickly and would soon mingle with those around them.

Many celestial officials in the Moon Palace liked these plump little fellows...

Not just because they were cute, but also because they were very sweet-talking most of the time.

Who would dislike someone who was sweet-talking.

Because precisely for this reason, they still got along well in the Moon Palace.

And they often managed to get some delicious food from others.

Meanwhile, Su Qing and Leng Xiang also quickly became familiar with life in the Moon Palace.

In the Moon Palace, Su Qing's life was the same as always, without much change...

Every day, besides cultivating, she would go to play with Yuer or exchange insights with Lady Chang'e.

Of course, more often than not, she went to discuss matters of cultivation with Lady Chang'e.

Although Lady Chang'e looked quite unreliable and flighty on ordinary days.

But once cultivation was mentioned, she could quickly enter the right state and speak with great clarity.

Lady Chang'e and the Lunar Deity were also always open and thorough regarding questions about cultivation.

It was as if they were eager to stuff everything they had learned in their lives into Su Qing...

Often, Su Qing would already have a headache from learning, while the two of them still seemed to want more.

However, it was also thanks to the teaching attitude of these two...

That Su Qing managed to master many things in just a few short years.

And even her realm received a good boost.
