Free Web NovelChapter 1671: Chapter 167: The Fool’s Gift
The maid Yun’er had a look of sorrow in her eyes.
Especially when Lee Sha showed no signs of thinking at all, in that moment, maid Lee Yun’er even felt an unspeakable sadness.
That sense of helplessness deeply struck her spirit, leaving her somewhat bewildered, not knowing how to continue, or whether she should persist in this absurd decision.
Xiao Tianlun, is a spiritualist with heaven-defying combat power. His status, among other things, is so unattainably high.
Yet Lee Sha... after all, is just a mortal, or rather less than a mortal, a fool with an innate defect.
But it is this fool, who is so infatuated with the lady.
She couldn’t bear to see this tragedy continue, but the courageous decision she made now seemed to have completely lost its effect.
Because Lee Sha could never understand what she was saying.
And if Lee Sha were to leak this matter, then it would be a disaster not only for her, Lee Yun’er, but also for Lee Sha.
"Alas... if only you weren’t a fool, how great it would be."
Lee Yun’er sighed softly.
If in the future Lee Sha were truly to become the lady’s husband, then as the maid beside the lady, she would naturally also follow and marry Lee Sha.
Though Lee Sha is very foolish, she is not that ambitious, and instead feels that Lee Sha truly treats the lady well, and treats her well too.
As a maid, she has no grand ambitions, and having someone like this who treats her well is actually quite satisfying.
However, she knew this was impossible.
Especially now that Lee Sha, despite being extremely handsome at fifteen, but without any charisma, and looking utterly foolish, could never become the future choice of Miss Lee Lianqing.
As Lee Lianqing went to the War God Academy, how could Lee Yun’er not know the reason?
She looked at Lee Sha’s silly appearance, truly feeling some pity for his misfortune, yet also anger at his lack of effort.
"Fool, did you hear what I said?"
Though without hoping, Lee Yun’er still asked.
"Yo-ho, yo-ho."
Lee Sha laughed, with drool pouring from the corners of his mouth, a silly idiot appearance really hard to watch directly.
"Fool, you like Lianqing, Qingqing, just be good and obedient."
Seeing Lee Sha like this, Lee Yun’er almost burst into tears, but she still held back her sadness, gently coaxing Lee Sha as if coaxing a child.
"Yo-ho," "Yo-ho," "obedient."
Lee Sha drooled and spoke foolishly.
Lee Yun’er’s nose twitched, and she couldn’t hold back her tears any longer.
In fact, even though Lee Sha was so foolish and drooling, his appearance was truly supremely handsome.
Even with such looks, even being a fool, he was an entrancingly handsome fool.
Even the drooling silly look seemed cute and simple, foolish yet not annoying.
With such elegant and handsome looks, one might think of him as an outstanding genius, yet...
Seeing Lee Sha like this, Lee Yun’er’s sadness deepened.
"Being obedient is good, you... follow not, mimic my actions, do as I say..."
Lee Yun’er held back her emotions and began to slowly teach Lee Sha the basic movements, while Lee Sha, though not moving, just foolishly watched Lee Yun’er’s very simple and slow actions.
Seeing she couldn’t teach him, yet not giving up, she continued to teach again and again.
At this moment, even the emotionally cold Zhou Yan felt a bit inexplicably moved.
This little maid.
Forget it, let’s not disappoint her, give her a little hope.
Zhou Yan sighed in his heart, and a speck of soul light entered Lee Sha’s body from between his brows, and the tiny foundation of soul origin within Lee Sha’s body began to grow as if sprouting.
Of course, this was Zhou Yan’s activation, depleting a large amount of Zhou Yan’s stored soul energy.
After a strand of will entered, Lee Sha seemed to have slightly awakened.
He was still laughing foolishly, yet his hands and feet danced about.
But with his dancing hands and feet, he instantly mimicked Lee Yun’er’s actions completely.
"It’s alright if you don’t get it, I will keep teaching you, I won’t give up, even for Miss—ah you—"
Lee Yun’er was speaking, but suddenly her eyes almost popped out, because Lee Sha had learned the movements and process she used for cultivation.
"You—you—fool you got it?"
"Yo-ho yo-ho, got it, got it."
Lee Sha nodded and laughed foolishly.
"Fool, you’re amazing!"
Lee Yun’er was overjoyed.
Immediately, she grabbed Lee Sha’s hand, pulled it over, and then began to let her own soul energy enter Lee Sha’s body, softly saying: "Fool, remember the process of this soul energy movement, and then keep cultivating it repeatedly, okay?"
"Remember... process, keep... cultivating."
Lee Sha seemed unable to remember Lee Yun’er’s words, stammered foolishly, but he was able to follow the route of Lee Yun’er’s energy flow.
Moments later, Lee Sha’s realm rapidly broke through to the Swordman Triple Heaven.
At this moment, seeing with her own eyes Lee Sha’s cultivation talent, Lee Yun’er’s eyes almost popped out, she was truly stunned.
This, this cultivation speed... so terrifying.
But while she was excited, she was also somewhat afraid, because continuing like this would eventually... cause trouble.
However, in the end, she did not choose to reveal Lee Sha’s talent after intense internal conflict.
With this beginning, gradually everything improved.
Even though Zhou Yan was not the sovereign, just with the help of Zhou Yan’s soul energy, Lee Sha began to become less foolish.
Maybe still a bit foolish, but not completely.
...
A month later.
"Fool, you actually reached the Sword Energy Three Realms in a month without any elixir assistance. Your talent is truly amazing."
"Fool, once you reach the Sword Intent Realm, you’ll surpass me. What I can teach you will be limited."
Lee Yun’er looked at Lee Sha with complex emotions.
Lee Sha’s silly smile was less, seeming to show more of innocence and bewilderment, which proved Lee Sha’s ’intelligence’ was beginning to improve.
Because of realm progression, Lee Sha won’t be a fool anymore in the future.
"Fool, don’t show your cultivation in front of outsiders, try to avoid the Lee family... otherwise, we’ll have trouble."
Lee Yun’er advised again.
"Don’t reveal... avoid the Lee family... got it, got it."
Lee Sha still stuttered a bit when speaking.
His silly smile diminished significantly.
At first, Lee Yun’er felt a little uncomfortable.
But gradually, she got used to it.
And in a month, Lee Lianqing came back once.
It’s just that, Lee Yun’er originally wanted to tell Miss about Lee Sha’s situation but hesitated and didn’t say it for now, because she hoped to tell Miss after Lee Sha broke through to the Sword Intent Realm, making it a huge surprise.
Therefore, this time, when Lee Lianqing returned, Lee Yun’er did not mention it.
Lee Lianqing visibly became more haggard this month but had surpassed the Sword Void First Transformation, improving her realm significantly.
However, after Lee Lianqing returned, she only met Lee Sha a few times, exchanged a few words, and hurriedly left again.
Time passed.
In the blink of an eye, two months went by.
Lee Lianqing came back again.
This time, she merely glanced at Lee Sha a few times and left again, with an attitude no longer as close and intimate, her gaze even somewhat complicated.
Lee Yun’er originally full of joy, wanting to tell Lee Lianqing about Lee Sha’s breakthrough in Sword Intent, found herself speechless upon witnessing this scene, words stuck in her throat, unable to say anything.
That night, she stayed by Lee Sha’s side and cried.
Lee Sha still seemed dumbfounded, but did not smile nor act up.
In the blink of an eye, six months had gone by.
During this time, Lee Lianqing came back again, this time bringing back two elixirs, handing them to Lee Yun’er.
The elixirs were so precious that even the Lee family would covet upon seeing them.
But these two elixirs were taken out from Lee Lianqing’s hands and given to Lee Yun’er.
"Yun’er, please take good care of Lee Sha for me. These elixirs can help you quickly step from the Sword Intent Realm into the Sword Soul Realm. As for him, it will enhance his constitution and help him live healthily. He will always be just an ordinary person."
Lee Lianqing spoke with a complex gaze.
Lee Sha was not here, but Lee Yun’er’s heart felt shattered as if she saw Lee Sha’s silly smile and silly pain.
At that moment, Lee Yun’er suddenly felt that Lee Lianqing was very distant from her.
"Miss, have you... found someone else? Is he good to you?"
Lee Yun’er trembled while speaking.
"Yun’er, the world is vast. I was merely a frog at the bottom of the well before. Yun’er, he treats me very well. And he is truly outstanding, like the sun in the sky, so dazzling."
Lee Lianqing spoke, eyes showing signs of affection.
"Miss..."
Lee Yun’er wanted to say something but eventually remained silent.
"Miss, please keep these elixirs. Although the power is mild, neither I nor the fool can withstand it, and you are at a critical moment."
Lee Yun’er spoke softly.
"No, I can’t use these elixirs anymore; Brother Tianlun has plenty."
Lee Lianqing said, eyes showing signs of affection.
"Even if you give them to me, I’ll give them to the fool, he’ll certainly keep them for you, he gives all his good things to you."
Lee Yun’er spoke with a complex gaze.
Lee Lianqing fell silent.
She placed the elixirs into Lee Yun’er’s hands and then turned to leave.
The next day.
Lee Lianqing did not see Lee Sha, preparing to leave by herself.
But Lee Yun’er brought Lee Sha to Lee Lianqing’s side.
Lee Lianqing didn’t want to look at Lee Sha, but Lee Sha laughed and then took the elixirs, came to Lee Lianqing’s side, held her hand, and wanted to place the elixirs in Lee Lianqing’s hand.
