Su Jiuli silently took a sip of tea, then sighed, "Junior Sister, sometimes I really want to cut open your head and see what's inside."

Ye Sisi didn't respond, but looked at Su Jiuli seriously and said, "Senior Brother, I'm not joking with you anymore. The Path to Heaven and the Ascension Platform may be important, but I don't want you to follow in Fifth Senior Brother's footsteps."

Su Jiuli lowered his eyes, his long eyelashes concealing all his emotions, but his heart ached slightly. He was afraid he couldn't do it and was destined to disappoint her.

However, he quickly looked up and smiled, "Junior sister, you underestimate the number one in the world. Don't worry, nothing will happen."

Ye Sisi grabbed Su Jiuli's arm, looked into his eyes and said, "Senior Brother, look me in the eyes and say it again."

Su Jiuli stared straight into her eyes without the slightest hint of guilt or evasion. Both of them clearly saw their own reflections in each other's eyes.

Ye Sisi took a deep breath, forcibly suppressing the unease in her heart, and asked, "Can we not rebuild the Path to Heaven and the Ascension Platform?"

Su Jiuli shook her head, waved her hand gently, and a void chessboard appeared in the air in front of her, with two chess pieces, one black and one white, being pulled up into the air.

"If we consider this world as a chessboard, the part that has been cut off is the Azure Realm, and the players are two Heavenly Daos whose consciousness has been split off. These two pieces are the biggest variables."

Ye Sisi didn't understand, and at this point she was too lazy to think, so she just made up some nonsense: "I don't care about chess or anything, just tell me if we can stop rebuilding that so-called Heavenly Road and Ascension Platform."

Su Jiuli suppressed a laugh and nodded: "Okay, okay, I'll listen to Junior Sister."

Ye Sisi felt like she had punched a cotton ball. "Senior Brother, could you be any more perfunctory?"

Su Jiuli put away the chessboard and said, "The Great Dao is fifty, the Heavenly Eye is forty-nine, and the Human Escape is one. You in the other world are that one. As long as that one remains, anything is possible."

Su Jiuli paused for a moment, looked into Ye Sisi's eyes and said, "Junior Sister, no matter what you encounter in the future, even if all you face is despair, believe me, as long as Yi is still here, everything is still possible."

Ye Sisi was completely confused and couldn't understand what it meant at all. However, even a fool could tell that something was wrong with what she was saying.

Just as she was about to speak again, Su Jiuli pointed a finger at her forehead and then lost consciousness.

Su Jiuli gently supported Ye Sisi's head to prevent it from crashing directly onto the table.

Looking at that sleeping little face, Su Jiuli sighed softly and said, "I hope that when you think of these words someday, they will make you less desperate."

Ye Sisi opened her eyes after a short while, then looked a little confused. How did she fall asleep? Wasn't she chatting with her senior brother?

Turning her head, Ye Sisi saw Su Jiuli sitting beside her. She smiled shyly and said, "Senior Brother, where was I? Wait, didn't you mention Elf City?"

Su Jiuli nodded: "I said I'd be going to Elf City in a while, would you like to come along?"

Although Ye Sisi felt it was a bit strange that she had suddenly fallen asleep, she didn't think much of it and assumed that Su Jiuli wanted her to sleep for a while. Upon hearing this, she continued chatting with Su Jiuli without any hindrance.

Su Jiuli didn't mention any fragments this time, so as not to bring up any unpleasant things.

The two were watching a man and a woman fighting on the light screen when the ground suddenly trembled, and the crystal-clear light screen distorted for a moment.

Su Jiuli smiled slightly: "You're here."

Ye Sisi remained calm, sipping her osmanthus wine and eating dried meat. Since she had come prepared, those guys were now like turtles in a jar.

However, she was still a little curious: "Senior Brother, weren't all the cultivators possessed by the demonic seed identified? How did they manage to sneak in?"

Su Jiuli said expressionlessly, "Some people have a devil living inside their skin, it has little to do with the seed of a demon."

Ye Sisi pursed her lips. This is human nature. There are those who disregard danger and throw themselves into the battlefield, and there are also those who cower and fear death.

Those traitors of the past were called Han traitors, so what are we called when they betray their own race? We're called human traitors.

In short, none of them are good things.

Su Jiuli did not make a move, but sat quietly for a moment before smiling and saying, "It's resolved."

Although Ye Sisi didn't see the specific process, it doesn't matter. There are some things she's not capable of, so getting involved is useless. Once she's strong enough, perhaps she won't be an observer anymore, but a participant.

If she had to choose one, she would rather be an observer, only needing to do what she could and not have to worry so much.

Of course, being a participant proves that she has reached the pinnacle of the world. As long as she doesn't ascend, she can roam freely throughout the world, each with its own advantages.

"I should go back now. Message me anytime if you need anything."

Ye Sisi nodded and handed Su Jiuli a spatial ring: "There's some food inside. By the way, I heard that Master and the others have people from the Food Immortal Pavilion providing them with three meals a day. Do you have any there?"

Su Jiuli laughed and said, "No, so all of these belong to me. I guess Master and Junior Uncle wouldn't even look at them."

Ye Sisi shook her head: "That won't do. There are three portions here, one for each of you. Senior Brother, this is a tribute from us disciples. However, you can shamelessly ask for it back later. I believe Master and Junior Uncle won't refuse."

The two exchanged a smile.

After Su Jiuli left, Ye Sisi continued to sit cross-legged and begin tempering her body. The vexation in her heart was swept away, and her cultivation became twice as effective with half the effort. Things will work themselves out in the end; at worst, they'll all die together. She needed to calm her mind.

Five days later, Lin Shuangluo returned to her residence with her upgraded Wan Jun, and asked Ye Sisi to go to Jiulu Peak on the way.

Once Ye Sisi's flawless quality improvement is successful, the group will set off for Tianjian Abyss.

Ye Shubai pushed open the door and said, "I can't suppress my cultivation anymore, I need to find a place to undergo tribulation."

After thinking for a moment, Ye Sisi said, "How about we rent the Tribulation Garden from Fellow Daoist Baili? That would give us a better chance of success."

Ye Shubai hesitated for a moment: "Wouldn't that be a bit awkward?"

Ye Sisi smiled and said, "If it's too difficult, we can find another place. Fourth Senior Brother, you have to bear with it."

Baili Zhuoran nodded in agreement, but also explained with a smile that the Divine Dao Sect wanted to take the opportunity to collect some Heavenly Thunder Seeds, "If you think about it carefully, it's still you fellow Daoists who suffer losses."

Ye Sisi understood Baili Zhuoran's meaning. Favors are the hardest to repay, so it's better to do business with clear prices so that both parties are happy. This is also why being with Baili Zhuoran is like a gentle breeze.
