After emerging from the dungeon, Su Nian took Si Qiushan's hand and gently kissed the back of it.

"Qiu Shan, I'll take this demon with me for now. I need to hurry back to Quanxiu, so I won't be able to stay with you for the time being."

Si Qiushan smiled gently and nodded slightly, "Yes, go ahead. I will take care of the matter of the missing demon."

"Yes, remember, don't tell anyone I've been to the Seven Stars Sect, not even the sect leader."

“Okay, I will.” Si Qiushan nodded.

Su Nian smiled and hugged her. The two embraced and held hands for a long time.

After an unknown amount of time, Su Nian finally released Si Qiushan. He glanced at a head peeking out from not far away and said calmly, "Come out, stop hiding."

Si Shulan, who was hiding behind the wall, was slightly startled. She subconsciously felt guilty and wanted to escape. But then she thought that she was only at the Nascent Soul stage. No matter how she ran, she could not escape their grasp.

With this thought in mind, Si Shulan gave up on running away and reluctantly walked towards them, her face showing a hint of grievance.

"what?"

She pouted, and the air was thick with jealousy; it was unclear who she was jealous of.

"Here, keep this for when you encounter danger next time," Su Nian said, taking out three scrolls from her storage ring.

Si Shulan took the scrolls from Su Nian's hands and examined them curiously. With her cultivation level, these three scrolls looked like three blank sheets of paper to her, and she could not see any clues.

"What's hidden inside this scroll?" she asked curiously.

Si Shulan didn't notice anything unusual, but Si Qiushan clearly sensed the powerful force contained within the scroll.

She covered her red lips in surprise, then looked at Su Nian with a glint of wonder in her eyes. "Does it contain the full power of an expert at the seventh level of the Tribulation Transcending Realm or above?"

Su Nian nodded and coughed. "Yes, these three scrolls are secret treasures that I obtained by chance in a cave. It is said that the creator of these three scrolls was a top-level expert who was once a titled reincarnation expert."

Si Shulan now understood the importance of these three scrolls. Her beautiful eyes widened, and even her breathing trembled.

"Made by a powerhouse at the seventh level of the Tribulation Transcending Realm or above? This...this is too valuable! I can't accept it!" Si Shulan hurriedly pushed the scroll back, as if she were pushing away a hot potato.

What does it mean to have a seventh or higher level of tribulation?

The combined life forms of the Nine Provinces and the Demon Realm number in the hundreds of billions, yet only a handful of individuals have truly cultivated to the level of the seventh stage of the Tribulation Transcending Body!

Taking the Seven Star Sect as an example, even the strongest member, the Grand Elder, is only at the mid-stage of the Mahayana realm!

If Si Shulan were to use this scroll against their Seven Stars Sect, the Seven Stars Sect would be razed to the ground in an instant!

How could Si Shulan not panic when such an amazing secret scroll was in the hands of a cultivator who was only in the mid-stage of the Nascent Soul realm?

"It's alright, you can keep it." Su Nian pushed the scroll back and warned her seriously, "But remember! These three scrolls must be used at the most critical moment! The martial arts techniques contained within are extremely powerful, so be careful not to hurt your own people when using them."

"This...this..." Si Shulan stammered for a long time, then looked at Si Qiushan with pleading eyes, as if she wanted her master to say a few words for her.

Si Qiushan smiled and said, "Since Su Nian gave it to you, then you should accept it. Having more treasures means having more security."

"Well... okay then."

Seeing that her master had said so, Si Shulan no longer refused and put the three scrolls back into her storage ring, her palms sweating profusely.

Su Nian smiled.

He instructed Si Shulan, "You heard what I said to your master just now. After I leave, you must not tell anyone that I was here, understand?"

Si Shulan nodded repeatedly, her attitude completely changing, "Yes! Okay! No problem!"

After giving Si Shulan her instructions, Su Nian smiled.

He gave Si Qiushan a final hug, bidding her a final farewell.

"Then I'll be going now. Take care of yourself. If you encounter any danger, crush the jade slip at any time. That thing is worthless to me. No matter where I am, I will come back to save you as soon as possible." Su Nian whispered in Si Qiushan's ear as they hugged.

Si Qiushan nodded and replied with a smile, "Yes, yes! I'll remember what you said."

"That's good."

After the hug ended, Su Nian released her, slowly flew into the sky, and waved goodbye to the two of them.

"Then I'll be going now. You two must take care."

Si Qiushan smiled somewhat helplessly and said, "Okay~"

Su Nian nodded, and her figure vanished instantly, leaving the place.

After he left, Si Shulan leaned close to Si Qiushan's ear and whispered, "Master, don't you think Su Nian has been acting strangely lately? He used to be about the same level as me, but in the blink of an eye, he's become more capable than you!"

Si Qiushan smiled and shook her head. "I think... there must be many untold stories about him, right? But none of that matters. As long as he stays true to his original aspirations, no matter how many thorns and difficulties there are, they are destined not to defeat him."
