Before long, more strange phenomena appeared frequently, as if countless powerful beings were spying on the Holy Maiden's cultivation, or as if countless gods and demons were protecting her!

Soon, a storm will break out, even more terrifying than when the Grand Elder was undergoing his tribulation!

"Shiyao, are you about to break through?"

"No, not yet." Li Shiyao was in deep meditation at the moment, and simply answered softly. "Shiyao is cultivating, you all go about your business and don't keep staring at me, it will affect my cultivation!"

To be honest, this is like a child who often skips school and never studies properly suddenly coming home early, sitting at the table, opening his textbook, and then asking his parents to turn the TV in the living room down—it's like disrupting his studies!

Inside the pilgrimage hall, several elders were whispering among themselves, all talking about Li Shiyao.

"What did Sect Leader Su do to Shi Yao?"

"I even suspect that Immortal Su might have tortured the Holy Maiden!"

"Did you guys see the look in her eyes when she first came back? I'm ninety-two years old, and I almost peed my pants from just one look from her!"

"Second Elder, I think Shi Yao is right. Ye Qinghan is eccentric and ruthless. Why don't you..."

"I know, I... I'll go and apologize these next few days..."

The one wearing the white robe is the Grand Elder, named Du Changsheng.

The elder had an oval face, short hair, and wore a white robe, making him look like a head of garlic from a distance.

Li Shiyao felt that the Grand Elder was like a white porcelain vase placed on the wall of the pilgrimage hall, so she often called him the Vase Elder behind his back.

"Elder Shi, you said you sought out Immortal Su. What did Immortal Su say?"

Shi Mingyi sighed and recounted his conversation with Su Cheng word for word.

"I think Sect Leader Su probably wants Shi Yao to try to solve the problem herself, or he wants Shi Yao to come to him so that he can have a legitimate reason to do so."

Du Changsheng nodded: "You're right, that's what I thought too, but..."

Are you referring to Sect Leader Su's attitude?

"That's right."

"I don't think Sect Leader Su has any particular attitude; he genuinely doesn't care. If Shi Yao doesn't speak up, he definitely won't make a move."
