As for the pretty boy scheme, she'd rather not. Having around twenty people hanging in front of her every day is truly dizzying. Especially when even middle-aged men are looking at her with kind expressions, occasionally exchanging glances. It's really hard to describe this kind of feeling.
Of course, Su Tingyun knows that the main reason everyone is trying to please her is, firstly, because of Big Bai, and secondly, because she is using the body of Xi Guang.
If she were using Wei Yun's body, these people definitely wouldn't behave in the same way. Although they would still try to please her because of Big Bai, the overall attitude would be different.
She's perfectly clear on everything.
Actually, when she saw the wooden carving that Little Uncle presented, Su Tingyun already understood that no matter which world it is, appearances matter.
Inner beauty and such are all just fleeting clouds.
She was once moved from the majestic sight of Yan Yuqing, when he was wielding a long sword and stood shielding everyone, offering a blood sacrifice to his sword to confront someone at the Tribulation Transcendent Stage. She was moved by the descriptions of him in others' mouths, how he ventured outside to make a living as an assassin to support a large family. And she even secretly drooled over his physique. However, it was just a tiny flutter, she didn't hold any delusions. It was like a small flower blooming in her heart, something she enjoyed admiring every day, a source of self-amusement.
Similarly, women are peculiar beings. Even if Yan Yuqing truly succumbed to demonic possession and injured Elder Yan, since Elder Yan survived, her mind was only full of thoughts about bringing him back when she chased after him. Despite the unease, the trace of fondness still lingered. Even if he entered the demonic realm and tried to pull her along, all she desperately wanted was to bring him back, and cry.
But when she failed to bring him back, and there was a wooden carving placed in her hand, she felt uncomfortable, but not because she liked it.
Liking is a momentary thing; dislike is just as short-lived.
Sorrows and hatred linger, while joy and glory are ephemeral.
When she used Wei Yun's body, the wooden carving of her had simple contours, and her features were quite indiscernible. But in Xi Guang's body, even in the simple wooden carving that Yan Yuqing gave her, one can see how meticulously the sculptor worked on it.
"What do you think they're up to?" Bai Su chuckles to himself, taking out a grass-woven figurine from his sleeve and handing it to Su Tingyun. She is momentarily surprised. Big Bai bounds over just then, having witnessed the exchange, it dashes to Bai Su like lightning.
Bai Su takes the opportunity to pat Big Bai's head. At the moment when Big Bai's body turns gray and forms a "C" shape, Bai Su pulls out a colorful ball and some grass-whip spirit beasts sculptures. He directly stuffs them into Big Bai's open "C"-shaped mouth...
Then, in an instant, Big Bai turns back to white, happily playing like a rolling ball. After rolling twice, she suddenly remembers to turn her head and says, "Thanks!"
Su Tingyun, on the other hand, looks at the grass figure in her hand. It's finely woven, depicting an old lady carrying Big Bai. The figurine even has a specially woven red leaf looped around, resembling a small lantern.
Su Tingyun raises the grass figure and presents it to Bai Su. "Is it me?"
"Doesn't it look so?"
"When we first met, was I this old?" Su Tingyun looks skeptical, even furrowing her brows. Although it's made of grass, Bai Su's craftsmanship is exceptionally good, almost like a master folk artist with at least thirty to fifty years of weaving experience. As a result, this figure looks remarkably realistic, making her naturally appear quite aged.
The question is, when was her first encounter with the three Ren brothers? It couldn't have been when she looked like this.
Bai Su: "..."
He can't exactly say that when he was weaving, he was thinking about how she must have looked when she was at the Wuliang Sect, and he was secretly listening to her telling stories. Back then, her voice was hoarse, her hands had an aged touch, her skin had wrinkles, and everyone called her Granny. Many even whispered that she was an old hag in her seventies or eighties. So, he...
He wove an old lady!
Bai Su remains silent, and Su Tingyun doesn't press further. Seeing that Bai Su has woven so much, and Big Bai is happily playing, she feels delighted too. She pats Bai Su on the shoulder and says, "Thanks. Please tell your relatives not to deliberately show off in front of me. If there's anything your family needs, both Big Bai and I will definitely help."
When it comes to gifts, sincerity is the most important. She knows what Big Bai truly likes, proving that Bai Su has been genuinely considerate. Since they are sincere friends, helping each other is only natural.
After a moment of thought, she lowers her voice and says, "Just tell them I'm not attractive in reality, that I'm just wearing an immortal artifact mask that none of you can see through. Or, if you want, say it's a divine artifact."
After all, the Obliteration Sword Tower is already mysterious in the eyes of the Bai family, and there's no harm in adding a bit more mystique.
Bai Su: "..."
"Let the boys scatter away!" Su Tingyun pats Bai Su's shoulder. "They've been parading in front of me every day these past two days. Honestly, I haven't even figured out their names yet."
A faint smirk tugs at the corner of Bai Su's mouth, a flash of a smile.
Meanwhile, the Bai family members mutter to themselves, "Bai Su seems quite intimate with her."
The Ninth Elder is filled with emotions, not expecting that after all twists and turns, the position of the Bai family patriarch might return to his hands.
Truly, it's hard to accept!
