Chapter 57 - This White Snake Is Unusual

Chapter 57 - This White Snake Is Unusual.

"I have met Old Mother."

Su Qing could not fail to recognize that the woman before her was Li Shan Lao Mu.

Although the name Li Shan Lao Mu sounded like an old woman.

But for an immortal like Old Mother, wasn't changing appearance easy?

Not to mention turning into an old person, even turning into a child was effortless.

So, what was so strange about Old Mother being young and beautiful?

"No need for formalities, just be at ease."

Old Mother smiled slightly and said:

"I am a bit curious. I did not take you as a disciple back then, but now I have taken another white snake as a disciple. Do you harbor any resentment in your heart?"

Hearing this, Su Qing was startled.

Then she shook her head slightly and said:

"Naturally, there is no resentment. Although Old Mother did not take me in back then, she pointed me to a clear path. How could I have any resentment?"

"As for Old Mother taking in a white snake now, it's probably just because she has a stronger affinity with Old Mother than I do, right?"

Su Qing had always been very open-minded about these matters.

Moreover, she had already graduated from Patriarch Bodhi's tutelage and had achieved human form. To still harbor resentment about past events would seem petty.

Now, regarding Old Mother taking in a white snake, she was mostly just curious.

Firstly, curious why, and secondly, curious if this white snake was the one she knew.

To be honest, after so many years, the white snake had changed greatly.

Even Su Qing couldn't recognize if this was the Bai Suzhen she had saved on her journey.

Old Mother looked at Su Qing, her smile deepening.

She truly admired this child's character: not greedy, not envious.

Unfortunately, they were ultimately fated not to be master and disciple...

"You girl are quite open-minded," Old Mother chuckled and said, "Speaking of my disciple... she actually still has some connection with you!"

Hearing this, Su Qing turned to look at the white snake.

After a moment of thought, she probably understood Old Mother's meaning.

This white snake before her was most likely the white snake she had saved back then.

"Are you Bai Suzhen?" Su Qing asked.

The white snake was a bit dazed at this moment, just staring at Su Qing like that.

In fact, the white snake had been staring at Su Qing ever since Su Qing entered the door.

She just hadn't been able to recognize Su Qing. Read at Novels Haven (novelshaven.com)

Yesterday, Old Mother had already told her that an old acquaintance would come here today.

And that acquaintance had a deep connection with her.

She was told to stop cultivating today and wait for that acquaintance in the side hall.

But when asked who the acquaintance was, Old Mother became evasive and wouldn't say directly.

So, she only knew this was an old acquaintance of hers, but didn't know who she was.

After several attempts to find a clue, she fell into a reverie.

It wasn't until Su Qing asked if she was Bai Suzhen that she snapped back to reality.

"Replying to elder sister, I am indeed Bai Suzhen."

Bai Suzhen answered blankly.

After speaking, she then realized why the person in front of her knew her name.

Old Mother hadn't even mentioned that her name was Bai Suzhen, had she?

"Why does elder sister know my name is Bai Suzhen?" Bai Suzhen asked dazedly.

Perhaps she had been thinking too much today, and her mind hadn't fully caught up yet.

Su Qing smiled upon hearing this and asked, "Was this name given to you by a green snake?"

Bai Suzhen flicked her tongue, nodded heavily, and said, "Exactly... Could it be... elder sister knows Sister Xiao Qing? Could you tell me where Sister Xiao Qing is now? Is she doing well?"

Hearing news of the green snake...

The previously dazed Bai Suzhen suddenly became excited.

She eagerly asked Su Qing for news about Su Qing.

This made Li Shan Lao Mu, who was nearby, unable to suppress a laugh.

Her disciple was good in every way, except sometimes she was incredibly dazed.

She shook her head slightly, not intending to remind her, finding it quite amusing to watch.

Su Qing's mouth twitched slightly upon hearing this.

Her gaze fell on Old Mother.

But she saw Old Mother looking as if she was watching a play, with no intention of helping to explain.

Helpless, she could only say awkwardly, "I am Su Qing..."

As Su Qing spoke, she transformed, returning to her original form...

Bai Suzhen surely recognized this appearance, right?

After Su Qing returned to her original form, Bai Suzhen froze, staring blankly at Su Qing, even forgetting to retract her flicked tongue.

She naturally remembered the green snake's appearance from back then, especially the strikingly unusual scales on its forehead.

She just never imagined... Read at Novels Haven (novelshaven.com)

...that the immortal maiden before her was Su Qing herself... the snake!

And she never expected that the green snake who saved her back then had now achieved human form.

At the same time, as she came back to her senses, she couldn't help but feel her face flush...

This was truly too embarrassing.

Not only did she fail to recognize Sister Xiao Qing... she even asked Sister Xiao Qing for clues about Sister Xiao Qing.

And it was all in front of Old Mother...

It could be said she was utterly disgraced.

If her body wasn't so big now that she couldn't burrow into a hole.

She would have wanted to find a crack in the ground and hide in it...

Bai Suzhen turned to look at Li Shan Lao Mu, who was still laughing at her... and couldn't help but feel depressed.

Her master was definitely doing this on purpose!

Su Qing saw that Bai Suzhen had recognized her, so she transformed back into her human form.

"Sister Xiao Qing..." As soon as Su Qing transformed back into human form, she heard Bai Suzhen's weak voice say, "I... I actually didn't recognize Sister Xiao Qing... I'm truly, truly sorry."

Su Qing shook her head slightly.

She wasn't too bothered by Bai Suzhen not recognizing her.

It was just that the recognition process was a bit awkward.

"It's not your fault... After all, in your memory, I was a large green snake, not a human."

Su Qing smiled helplessly and said:

"I just didn't expect that Old Mother's new disciple would be you! Perhaps this is also a special kind of fate!"

"Elder sister is truly amazing... to have achieved human form in such a short time."

Seeing that Su Qing wasn't laughing at her or angry with her, Bai Suzhen couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

Su Qing shook her head slightly: "It's not amazing... I just lived a bit longer and was fortunate enough to have my master's help."

"Don't be modest, your talent truly far surpasses most demons," Old Mother chuckled. "Any more modesty would be a bit arrogant."

Su Qing was slightly startled upon hearing this and quickly apologized.

"Alright, alright, you two sisters catch up properly! I won't disturb you any longer." Old Mother smiled slightly, turned, and transformed into a wisp of green smoke, disappearing from the side hall.

Once Old Mother left, only Su Qing and Bai Suzhen remained in the side hall.

The two also had a good chat about what had happened in recent years.

After Old Mother left, with no elder watching over her, Bai Suzhen also relaxed a bit and spoke much more freely.

And she also properly thanked Su Qing again for saving her back then.

"Sister Xiao Qing, I truly don't know how to repay your kindness from back then." Read at Novels Haven (novelshaven.com)

"No need to worry too much, it was just a small effort! Cultivate diligently and achieve human form soon, that will be the greatest repayment to me."

Bai Suzhen nodded slightly upon hearing Su Qing's words, thought for a moment, and said:

"I will definitely cultivate diligently, please rest assured, elder sister? However, a life-saving grace cannot go unrepaid! How about this! After younger sister achieves human form, I will offer myself to you! My life was saved by elder sister, so it naturally belongs to elder sister!"

Su Qing: "......??"
