The woman in green seemed to sense Li Sisui's surprise and chuckled softly:

"I don't need to say more about these three fruits. They were originally a reward given to you by the clan along with your clothes and medicine. However, after the young lady found out, she kept the three most precious sacred fruits, saying that she wanted to give them to you personally to express her gratitude!"

"Later, the young lady experienced some unusual development in her cultivation and hurriedly went into seclusion to cultivate. That's when she entrusted this matter to me and instructed me to pass it on to you in person and tell you how grateful I am for risking my life to protect you that day!"

As she spoke, she handed the blue handkerchief along with the three sacred fruits to Li Sisui's chest. Li Sisui subconsciously reached out and took it. The blue handkerchief felt silky and cool to the touch, and it also had a faint fragrance.

The woman in green looked at Li Sisui, who was somewhat dazed, and chuckled sweetly:

"This blue handkerchief is a personal item of yours, Miss. I am giving it to you as a gift. I hope you will keep it safe and not disappoint your kindness."

Li Sisui felt a little embarrassed after the woman in green said that, her ears turned red and her face flushed.

Fortunately, her long hair and dark spots covered her face, so outsiders couldn't tell anything was wrong.

Li Sisui composed himself and said in a deep voice:

"Is there anything else you wish to tell me, Miss?"

The woman in green thought for a moment and said:

"He also said that the three sacred fruits should be taken during the pulsating phase for the best effect. And remember to keep the sacred fruits safe, for a common man is innocent, but possessing a treasure is a crime."

Li Si nodded, looking at the woman in green with great anticipation. Seeing this, the woman in green tilted her head and pondered for a long time before saying:

"Also, Miss wants you to cultivate diligently and pass the trial as soon as possible. She will be waiting for you in the inner sect."

After saying that, he smiled slightly, waved to Li Sisui, and turned to leave.

Li Sisui hurriedly said:

"Is that all? What exactly happened that day?"

Seeing that the woman in green was hesitant to bring up the matter he cared about most, he had no choice but to take the initiative himself.

The woman in green hesitated slightly and whispered:

"No one knows exactly what happened that day. I only know that Miss is also full of questions. Moreover, the young master who left home is now disfigured and his personality has changed drastically. If you mention this matter in front of him, I'm afraid you will lose your life. I advise you to be careful with your words and actions and take care of yourself."

Li Sisui, still somewhat unwilling to give up, said:

"So who exactly saved us?"

"You were both unconscious that day, but the young lady's cultivation was still intact. She managed to carry you up the mountain and find a sturdy tree to use as a temporary place to rest."

"At that time, Miss had exhausted her cultivation and no longer had the ability to carry the two of them up."

"If the clan hadn't discovered that Miss hadn't returned for a long time and hadn't been found by clansmen sent to investigate, it would have been late at night. In this desolate wilderness, where monsters roam freely, it's hard to say what would have happened next. In the end, you were just lucky to escape disaster."

After speaking, the woman in green ignored Li Sisui and turned to leave, leaving Li Sisui behind, stunned and lost in thought.

Li Sisui watched the departing woman in green. Although he hadn't gotten the information he wanted, he could still feel Su Qingyu's concern for him, which warmed his heart. His actions had finally received some response.

Holding the blue handkerchief in his hand, he seemed to feel Su Qingyu's body temperature, and a faint fragrance wafted into his nose.

Receiving encouragement and recognition from someone he likes finally cleared the clouds from Li Sisui's previously gloomy heart.

The most urgent task is to improve my cultivation level as soon as possible; right now, I'm practically powerless.

He originally had some cultivation within the sect and was quite proud of himself.

After all, such an illogical thing actually happened to me, overturning my previous understanding.

I couldn't contain my joy; I never imagined that someone as ordinary as me could one day possess such cultivation.

However, a trip down the mountain immediately brought Li Sisui back to his original form.

Faced with this unfamiliar world, Li Sisui felt like an ant adrift on the ocean, insignificant and powerless, forced to drift with the tide.

Previously, I was saddened by the Tu tribe's reclusive nature, but now I am grateful that I was able to come to the Nine Dragons Sect by chance and gain the Tu tribe's recognition and acceptance.

Otherwise, Li Sisui would have vanished like the wind long ago, and there would be no such thoughts now.

Since we can't figure out the cause of the dark spot on my left cheek, let's leave it at that.

This can be considered one of Li Sisui's strengths. If there are things you can't figure out, instead of racking your brains and getting tangled up in them, it's better to put them aside and make yourself feel more comfortable.

There's always a way when you reach the mountain; once you cross the bridge, the road will naturally straighten out.

Li Sisui doesn't know too much right now, and many things can't be handled with common sense. Since that's the case, he might as well take it one step at a time and do his best with each step he takes now.

In the days that followed, Li Sisui eliminated all distracting thoughts and devoted himself wholeheartedly to cultivation, and his cultivation level increased at a visible speed.

Li Sisui is now preparing for the battle with all his might, hoping to have a chance to enter the inner sect during the outer sect trial next year. The thought of Su Qingyu waiting for him in the inner sect fills him with enthusiasm and makes him highly motivated to cultivate.

Before we knew it, another year had come to an end, the time of year's close.

Compared to the shock of participating for the first time, Li Sisui now feels a sense of inheritance and the warmth of home.

Thanks to Li Sisui's striking features, his name has remained unchanged among the members of the outer clan, making him the most widely known member of the outer clan.

After the year-end ancestral worship ceremony, Li Sisui joined the drinking contest with his clansmen, and now, tasting the wine again, he had a unique flavor.

Sometimes you really need to numb yourself in this world. After a cup of wine, the casual conversations among the clansmen become especially warm.
