Now That You Know I Was Right, Why Are You All Apologizing Now?

"Su Nian, you've conspired with the demon clan, murdered fellow disciples, and the evidence is conclusive. Yet you still refuse to repent! For the sake of your contributions to the sect, we...

Chapter 43 Hiding a Beauty Inside the House

"As expected... I knew it!" Si Shulan gritted her teeth, clenched her fists, and her voice became even louder. "After Master returned to the sect this time, I always felt that something was wrong. She has remained chaste for many years and is extremely discerning about matters of the heart. How could she give in so easily? It must be you who used some underhanded means to forcibly take Master's body. Master is traditional in her thinking, so she had no choice but to submit to you, is that right?!"

Si Shulan raised her voice in anger, and Su Nian's expression changed. She quickly covered her mouth, afraid that Xu Xinrou next door would hear her words.

"Shh—keep your voice down!" He covered Si Shulan's mouth and hurriedly explained, "The story between you and your master is a long one and involves some secrets, but I can assure you that I absolutely did not force your master! It was all her own choice!"

For Si Qiushan, Su Nian, who saved her from dire straits, was mysterious and powerful. He was the light that gave her a second life, and no one could replace him.

As for Su Nian, Si Qiushan would fall in love with him in different ways in every reincarnation. However, she never expressed her love verbally, but always supported Su Nian silently with her actions. In the past, he was blinded by revenge and could not see the heart of the beauty. In this life, he had no intention of pursuing power, which is why he had the desire to appreciate flowers again.

Surprisingly, Si Shulan did not resist when her mouth was covered.

With her strength, she could easily send Su Nian flying.

But she didn't do that.

She just stared at him intently with her emerald green eyes, as if she wanted to devour him alive.

Su Nian could guess why she didn't dare to speak.

She knew in her heart that if word got out that she had climbed up to her master's fiancé in the middle of the night, it would bring her a bad reputation.

"Knock knock knock".

Suddenly, someone knocked on Su Nian's door.

"Junior Brother Su? Are you there? I think I heard some noise in your room just now, Junior Brother Su?"

Su Nian's expression changed slightly.

It's Senior Sister Xu!

Why did it have to be Senior Sister Xu? If she sees me on the bed with Si Shulan on top of me and covering her mouth, I'm doomed!

"Ah, I'm fine, senior sister. I just accidentally spilled the teacup. I'll clean it up quickly."

"You spilled the teacup... Junior Brother Su... Are you injured?" Xu Xinrou's beautiful eyes were full of worry.

Even if it becomes very weak, it's impossible for it to spill the teacup, right?

Could it be that... Junior Brother Su's body has become so weak that he can't even hold a teacup properly?

Worried, she knocked on the door again, "Junior Brother Su, have you gone mad from practicing cultivation?"

"Huh? No, how could that be?"

While answering with a smile, Su Nian covered Si Shulan's mouth and pointed under the bed, saying in a low voice, "You'd better hide! If my senior sister finds out you're with me, we're both finished!"

He had assumed Si Shulan would be able to understand the situation, but to his surprise, she broke free from Su Nian's grasp and snorted coldly, "No! Why should I hide?"

Su Nian panicked. He pointed at Si Shulan's nose and threatened, "Stop making a scene! You're the one who barged in to kill me! I only saved you because you're Qiu Shan's disciple! If my senior sister Xu sees this, not only will my innocence be ruined, but even your master will be criticized for marrying a heartless man! Do you understand?"

Si Shulan turned her head away and said stubbornly, "Hmph! Xu Xinrou is so introverted, I bet even if she saw it, she wouldn't tell anyone!"

"you!"

Si Shulan's lips curled into a smile. "Don't think I don't know that you've always harbored feelings for your second senior sister, haven't you? Are you so afraid because you're afraid she'll leave you forever?"

Su Nian laughed, but it was an ugly laugh.

"Si Shulan, are you determined to argue with me now? Aren't you afraid that I'll take revenge on you after I marry your master?"

Si Shulan made a face at Su Nian and said, "Who's afraid of you? My master loves me the most, she wouldn't punish me because of you!"

"you……"

Outside the door, Xu Xinrou's knocking became much faster.

"Junior Brother Su? Junior Brother Su? If you don't open the door soon, I'm going to come in, Junior Brother Su? Junior Brother Su?"

Xu Xinrou stared at the door for a long time, hesitated, and then pushed it open.

She slowly walked into the room. Moonlight shone into the not-so-spacious room through the open, straight-lattice window. She saw Su Nian sitting on the bed, covered with a thick quilt, looking at her with surprise.

"Senior sister? How could you barge into my room in the middle of the night?"

Xu Xinrou's brows were full of worry. "I thought you had encountered some difficulties because you didn't open the door for so long."

Su Nian smiled indifferently, "So that's how it is. Senior sister, you're overthinking it. I'm perfectly fine, not uncomfortable at all."

Inside his blanket, Si Shulan was pinned down by one hand to her crotch, and no matter how much she struggled, she could not break free from Su Nian's grasp.

She was deeply shocked.

Hasn't he already fallen to the Great Perfection of Foundation Establishment?

He was at the early stage of the Nascent Soul realm, dealing with him should have been a piece of cake, right? How come he was being held down by one hand and couldn't resist at all?

"Oh... I'm glad you're alright." Xu Xinrou breathed a sigh of relief upon seeing this.

She stood there, opening her mouth several times as if to say something, but the words stuck in her throat, as if she couldn't bring herself to speak.

"Is there anything else, Senior Sister?" Su Nian asked without changing her expression, pressing Si Shulan's head down with one hand under the blanket.

"Junior brother..." Xu Xinrou's voice was very soft.
