Chapter 4 I met Senior Brother Su
"Su Yu..."
Chen Pipi instinctively raised his hand to protect himself, staring intently at Su Yu with a serious expression. Alarm bells were ringing in his mind: Su Yu is dangerous!
Clearly, the first meeting was not pleasant. Chen Pipi was new to the academy and unfamiliar with everything there, and had not yet fully opened up.
"Although I come from Xiling, I have no ill intentions."
"I've come to seek apprenticeship and learn from you."
Xiao Yu sneered, "Those unfamiliar cultivators in Chang'an City must have come with you. I think only you know their purpose here."
Chen Pipi said helplessly, "I didn't want to either. I've tried my best to hide."
"But there's nothing I can do. As long as I want to go up to the second floor of the academy, they'll know I'm here."
"Once I pass the entrance exam for the academy and ascend to the second floor, with the teacher's protection, they will naturally disperse."
On the surface, the Tang Dynasty and the Taoist sects were allies, but their relationship was tense behind the scenes. Chen Pi Pi, with his special identity, came to Tang and immediately broke this balance.
Following Chen Pipi to Chang'an City, there are at least three great cultivators at the Knowing Destiny Realm, and perhaps there are other Knowing Destiny Realm cultivators hiding outside Chang'an City.
This was a devastating threat to the ordinary people living in Chang'an.
Emperor Li Zhongyi of Tang took several measures to deal with this. Although the Grand Preceptor Li Qingshan repeatedly assured him that there would be no danger, Emperor Li Zhongyi still invited a teacher from the back mountain of the academy to stay and ensure the safety of Chang'an.
"You think you can climb to the second floor of the academy? Don't even dream about it."
Clearly, Chen Pipi didn't make a good first impression on Xiaoyu. Her initial hunchback was seen as cowardice.
The disciples on the back mountain of the academy should be self-reliant, courageous, and upright, not a chubby little boy who shrinks back when he sees a little girl.
Su Yu pursed his lips, feeling troubled. This Chen Pi Pi was indeed a disciple from the back mountain of the academy. Not only that, but he was also exceptionally talented and had his own insights into cultivation. He could be considered Ning Que's half-master.
The way Xiaoyu looked reminded Su Yu of someone: Li Yu, the fourth princess of the Tang Dynasty.
When Li Yu first met Ning Que, he looked down on him. It was only after a series of life-or-death crises that Li Yu acknowledged Ning Que.
Little Fish, Li Yu, it can't be true, can it? The idiot princess?
According to the timeline, Li Yu is indeed only eleven or twelve years old now. Judging from her behavior, she is indeed intelligent and knowledgeable about national affairs, and she is concerned about the country and its people.
The moment she found Chen Pipi, she inquired about the unfamiliar cultivators in Chang'an City.
Su Yu couldn't help but ask, "Little Fish, is your full name Li Yu, or is your surname Li?"
Xiaoyu wanted to argue with Chen Pipi, but when she heard Su Yu's question, she turned around and gave him an apologetic smile, saying, "I'm sorry, Mr. Su, I forgot to tell you my name. That's right, I am Li Yu, the Fourth Princess of the Tang Dynasty."
Seeing that Su Yu's expression was different, Li Yu thought that Su Yu was unhappy. She did not mean to deceive Su Yu, so she grabbed Su Yu's hand and said urgently, "Mr. Su, Brother Su, I didn't mean to. I really forgot."
"My father loves me the most. I can ask my father for anything Brother Su wants."
A child is a child. The current Li Yu is neither as shrewd and capable as she will be in the future, nor does she resemble the idiotic princess in Ning Que's story. At least when facing Su Yu, she never put on airs.
The Li Yu of today is merely a prototype of the future Li Yu, far from being able to control a country.
Otherwise, she wouldn't have given such a naive answer as asking her father for something to compensate Su Yu. In Li Yu's current worldview, asking her father for something is the greatest benefit she can offer.
One call of "Brother Su" made Su Yu feel numb.
Who would believe that the future empress dowager who would rule the entire Tang Dynasty would call someone "brother" in such a coquettish way?
Even with Ning Que, Li Yu only regarded him as a pawn he could rely on. Even in the most difficult times, he never thought of bowing down to Ning Que.
Only Su Yu, who was a time traveler, could truly understand how exhilarating it was to hear someone call him "brother."
"A name is just a title. We met by chance and found ourselves kindred spirits, which is the luckiest thing. Little Fish, you are my friend, how could I be angry because of a name?"
Li Yu was overjoyed and stepped forward to give Su Yu a gentle hug. She remembered that her father loved it when she hugged him, so she gave Su Yu a hug in return.
"Thank you, Brother Su."
Li Yu's political acumen will mature in the next few years. She will fight against the Empress, her own uncle, and the ministers in the court, until she is driven out of Chang'an and goes to the grasslands to live the most difficult days, only then will she finally grow into a mature young woman.
Having never experienced a real crisis, Li Yu was no different from an ordinary girl who liked to act spoiled.
Chen Pipi was stunned for a moment, but he quickly recovered.
The most beloved princess of the Tang Dynasty calls a young man surnamed Su "brother"? What is this person's identity? Even ordinary students in the academy don't have this right.
Only the two-story academy remains!
Thinking of this, Chen Pipi felt a strange surge of fighting spirit. He wanted to explore the depths of the second floor of the academy and find out what it was all about.
It wasn't that I was belligerent, just curious. Once this thought started, I couldn't stop, and my mental energy became restless.
When Su Yu saw Chen Pi Pi get up, he subconsciously glanced at him. The keen sensitivity of a Heavenly Communicator to mental power allowed him to detect the fluctuations of mental power emanating from the other party.
Chen Pipipi was extremely talented. Su Yu's glance was inconspicuous, but he caught it precisely. At that moment, he felt like a naked monkey with no secrets.
The academy is sacred.
The Taoist sect's past failures taught Chen Pipi that even if he were the most outstanding genius, he could not be too arrogant in the academy.
"May I ask, Mr. Su, what level of attainment do you possess?"
Chen Pipi raised a question, feeling that as a foreign guest, he shouldn't use direct methods to investigate Su Yu's strength, as it would be impolite.
After all, Chen Pipi still wanted to climb to the second floor of the academy, and he didn't want to leave a bad impression on the senior students on the back mountain of the academy.
Su Yu replied, "Not confused."
There's nothing to hide. This is the academy, and he's facing the academy's future twelfth master, who might be his senior brother. The knowledge the other party has seen in Taoist classics might become valuable experience for his future cultivation. So he's willing to make good friends with Chen Pi Pi at this time.
This surprised Chen Pipi. Had he guessed wrong? Not a disciple from the back mountain of the academy?
Chen Pipi is about to break through to the Knowing Destiny realm. He firmly believes that his perception is correct and that the other party's strength cannot be limited to the Unperturbed realm. He also finds it hard to believe that someone with a lower realm than him has put him under mental pressure.
If the other party's cultivation level is indeed lower than his, it further illustrates the mystery and power of the academy.
Chen Pipi came to the academy hoping to become a disciple of the Master and one of these wondrous and powerful beings. He wanted to find his own ideal of cultivation and forge his own path.
Chen Pipi had heard his father say that although he had lost to the Master, he still greatly admired the Master's strength.
Su Yu's Qi Sea Snow Mountain has opened seventeen acupoints. He is a Heavenly Master in the Haotian World, born with the ability to understand the cultivation methods of this world. The changes in Chen Pi Pi's body are almost transparent to Su Yu's perception.
In the clash of wits, Chen Pi Pi lost, not because his strength was inferior to Su Yu's, but because he had a deep respect for the academy. He couldn't see through Su Yu, and he couldn't even muster the thought of challenging Su Yu.
Thinking of this, Chen Pipi stood up and respectfully bowed to Su Yu, saying, "Greetings, Senior Brother Su."
