The next day.

Su Nian announced that she would leave Quanxiu and head to the far south.

The far south is known as one of the two most dangerous and perilous places in the Nine Provinces, and together with the far north of the Demon Realm, it is called the extreme cold and desolate land!

When they learned that Su Nian was going to the far south, all the elders of Quanxiu came to see him off.

"The far south is extremely dangerous. Logically, I should have advised you against taking this risk, but you are no longer the same as before. Since you have made your decision, I will not try to dissuade you." The Second Elder said to Su Nian solemnly, "However, one should always act according to one's ability. You are going alone on this trip, so remember to prioritize safety above all else! Many powerful cultivators have not returned after entering the far south. If you notice anything unusual, turn back immediately! Absolutely do not venture into dangerous territory, understand?"

Su Nian nodded with a smile, "Don't worry, Second Elder, I understand."

"Okay, that's good."

Li Baiyu then walked up, straightened Su Nian's collar, patted his shoulder, and said earnestly, "You're all grown up now. You can make your own decisions about some things. I only have one thing to say: come back safely."

Su Nian smiled and said, "I will."

After Li Baiyu finished speaking, the Fourth Elder took a handkerchief, wiped away the tears from the corners of his eyes, and came to Su Nian's side.

She hugged Su Nian tightly, crying, "Don't go! Nian'er, stay here, it's too dangerous outside!"

Su Nian felt somewhat helpless.

For some reason, the Fourth Elder always treated him like his own son.

She was like a sensitive mother, unwilling to see Su Nian suffer any injustice.

No matter what happened in her past life, the Fourth Elder was always the first to speak up for Su Nian.

Su Nian patted the Fourth Elder on the back and comforted him, "Don't worry, I'll be fine. This trip is mainly to investigate the location of Ye Family Village. I'll come back once I've found out."

"Waaah, don't go, don't go—" The Fourth Elder was already sobbing uncontrollably.

Hong Jiuquan couldn't stand it anymore and pulled the Fourth Elder back, muttering, "Crying, crying, all you do is cry! What kind of behavior is this for an elder to cry like this?"

After handing the Fourth Elder over to the Second Elder, Hong Jiuquan said to Su Nian, "Go in peace. Be bold and do what you need to do. Since you've made up your mind to go, then do it well! Do it beautifully! Do it perfectly!"

Su Nian nodded, "I will remember those words."

"Um."

Next up was Zuo Qiuyan.

She immediately asked, "Can I come with you?"

Su Nian answered firmly, "No!"

"Oh, never mind then."

After saying that, she left.

Su Nian's lips twitched slightly.

This sect leader is really...

Finally, there were these few people from Liuli Peak.

Shen Xingyue came to Su Nian's side first. Before she could speak, Su Nian said to her, "While I'm away, you should digest the cultivation techniques I've taught you these past few days on your own. Remember, the path of cultivation is to be taken one step at a time. You must not be impatient for quick results and damage your foundation."

"Disciple will remember this." Shen Xingyue said with a smile, "Master, please go in peace! I will take good care of Senior Sister Meng!"

"Um... speaking of which, where's your Senior Sister Meng?"

Su Nian looked left and right, but did not see Qian Shudie.

"I don't know...maybe they're busy fetching water?" Shen Xingyue said.

Su Nian thought for a moment and finally said, "Forget it, let's leave her alone. She should know what she's doing."

"Yes, yes! Then this disciple wishes Master a successful trip...?"

Su Nian hummed in agreement.

The last person to come up and say goodbye was Xu Xinrou.

She didn't say a word, but went to Su Nian's side, stood on tiptoe, and kissed him on the cheek.

This scene energized all the elders and disciples watching.

The First Elder stared blankly at the scene and reached out to cover the Second Elder's eyes.

The Second Elder was furious. He slapped Hong Jiuquan's hand away and roared, "What are you blocking me for? Do you think I haven't seen it?"

Shen Xingyue was slightly taken aback, then a helpless smile appeared on her lips.

She had heard about the relationship between Xu Xinrou and Su Nian before she joined the sect.

Therefore, she was not surprised by Xu Xinrou's actions.

After the kiss ended, Xu Xinrou slowly retreated.

As he retreated, Su Nian grabbed his wrist!

The latter wrapped his arms around Xu Xinrou's waist, suddenly stepped forward, and kissed her red lips deeply.

This time, it was the Second Elder's turn to cover the First Elder's eyes.

The First Elder slapped the Second Elder's hand away, saying disdainfully, "It's just a kiss, what's wrong with that? Everyone's seen it before, why are you blocking it?"

This kiss lasted for a very, very long time...

The two were so engrossed in their lovemaking in front of others that they didn't part until much later.

"Wait for me to come back." Su Nian hugged Xu Xinrou's waist and said, "I will marry you."

Xu Xinrou smiled sweetly, "Will you only marry me?"

Su Nian smiled faintly, "And Qiu Shan, I'll hold a grand wedding and marry both of you."

Behind Xu Xinrou, the Fourth Elder stared in astonishment, his mouth slightly agape.

She looked at Zuo Qiuyan and asked curiously, "Am I hallucinating? Nian'er is planning to have a wedding?"

Zuo Qiuyan said calmly, "You heard me right, we can hang up lanterns after he comes back."

"Good, good, good, that's wonderful! I never thought I would be able to see Nian'er get married on behalf of my sister. It's like a dream." The Fourth Elder wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes and said this.

No one noticed the pause in the Fourth Elder's voice, not even Su Nian.
