Long after they left, Si Qiushan, who had been hiding in the shadows, slowly emerged. She glanced at Su Nian and reminded her, "Although she's gone, her divine sense is still watching this place."
"I see."
“Your master… Su Liuli is only in the mid-stage of the Nascent Soul realm, which is a whole realm higher than me. If you don’t like being spied on by her, I can help you create a false image to avoid her watching.”
"No need. Let her peek if she wants. As long as I don't intentionally try to kill myself, she won't interfere."
Divine perception can only observe a person's actions, not their words.
Su Nian didn't care what his master did. He plopped down on the bed, buried his head in the pillow, and completely relaxed.
"I had long heard that there was a man in Quanxiu Sect who was exceptionally talented, kind, and handsome. Not only did he reach the Nascent Soul stage at a young age, but he was also very popular among the female disciples of various sects. I thought such a man should be a treasure in the sect, but now it seems that the situation is a little different from what I imagined?"
After overhearing their conversation, Si Qiushan roughly understood the ins and outs of the matter.
After confirming Su Nian's identity, she suddenly realized that the rumors were untrue.
He seems to have concealed that powerful strength from his master, and because of an unknown injustice, he has now given up the idea of cultivating immortality.
"As the Third Elder of the Seven Star Sect, you should understand that rumors cannot be believed. The real treasure of the entire sect should be my junior brother, who has received much attention since the first day he entered the sect. Compared to him, I am nothing more than a traitor who colluded with the demons and murdered my fellow disciples."
Si Qiushan pondered for a long time.
She didn't know the details of the matter, but Su Nian was her benefactor, and she couldn't stand idly by while her benefactor was in trouble.
"Someone is trying to harm you?"
Su Nian sighed and did not reply.
"Could it be... that male disciple from earlier?" Si Qiushan was perceptive. Judging from Su Nian's attitude just now, he must be dissatisfied with Ye Hua.
"So what if it is? So what if it isn't?" Su Nian turned over and picked up the blanket to cover herself.
“He possesses the power of the Heavenly Dao, and dwelling on this matter will lead nowhere. If you insist on digging deeper into the truth, you might even end up destroying the Heavenly Dao. Your cultivation is not easy, so don’t do anything to ruin your future. Cover yourself with the blanket, arrange your pillow, and let the future of Quanxiu and the human race be as it may. Rather than engaging in those meaningless struggles, you might as well take advantage of your youth and get some more sleep.” Su Nian lay on her side on the bed, her eyes closed, and said slowly.
Si Qiushan had a strong feeling.
This male disciple of Quanxiu in front of me must be extraordinary!
Having personally experienced Su Nian's power, she naturally couldn't possibly look down on him just because of his lowly status.
She couldn't help but ponder the deeper meaning behind Su Nian's words.
Is that male disciple really that dangerous?
If his existence is related to the safety of the entire Quanxiu, or even the entire human race, then continuing to keep him would be like raising a tiger to cause trouble.
"Senior, you..."
"Don't call me senior. I'm only twenty years old this year, just a mere third disciple of the Liuli Peak of the Quanxiu Sect. Even my master's cultivation is not as high as yours. In terms of cultivation and seniority, I am not worthy of this title."
Si Qiushan thought for a moment, then cupped her hands and changed her words, saying, "Sir saved me from dire straits, and now that you are in trouble, I certainly will not stand idly by. Since you dislike Quan Xiu so much, why not come to my Seven Star Sect? If you don't mind, you can join the sect as my personal disciple. I will not force you to cultivate immortality. You can do whatever you want in the sect. I will also find a way to make that male disciple who slandered you pay the price."
"No, no, the Seven Star Sect is too far away, what's the point of going?"
Si Qiushan touched her chin with her delicate hand and said, "I can take you there, sir."
"Sigh, I just made up an excuse, and you actually took it seriously?" Su Nian turned over to face Si Qiushan, her eyes full of helplessness. "Although I am now wronged, Su Liuli still has the kindness of raising me. I am a person who distinguishes right from wrong. I will repay those who are kind to me a hundredfold, and I will beat those who are wicked to me. After I leave the sect in a proper way, I will never set foot in the immortal sect again. I will find a desolate place, build a small wooden house, and from then on, I will farm and grow trees, and live a life free from worldly concerns."
"Sir, your idea is truly admirable." Si Qiushan felt a deep sense of respect.
She cultivated immortality from a young age and knew how many hardships this path was full of. She must have endured a lot of suffering to persevere.
He clearly had countless better options, but he gave them all up.
Such courage was something Si Qiushan had never seen before in her life.
"If there's nothing else, I'll go rest now." Su Nian yawned, adjusted her sleeping position, and lay flat on the bed.
“Yesterday, my Nascent Soul was completely destroyed, and I went through a great battle. I also protected you all night. Now I am just a Foundation Establishment cultivator, and I am exhausted both physically and mentally. I need to rest.” He waved his hand casually and said indifferently, “Third Elder, you have been missing for a long time. It’s about time you returned to the Seven Star Sect, right? I am weak now, so I won’t see you off. Remember to close the door when you leave. There are many insects in the bushes outside. I don’t want to wake up to find a snake on me.”
Si Qiushan bowed slightly. She was quite voluptuous, and a hint of white could be seen in her skin. She said softly, "Since you are tired, sir, please get some rest."
"Well, take care."
After saying that, there was no sound.
Si Qiushan blinked her big, bright green eyes, tiptoed out of the room, and slowly closed the door.
Some time later, Su Nian was awakened by the noise from the outside world.
He rubbed his droopy eyes and went to the window. He saw that the window, which was usually deserted, was now full of fellow disciples coming and going in a hurry, gossiping about something.
A junior sister from another peak noticed Su Nian and looked surprised. "Senior Brother Su! What are you still doing here? And you look like you just woke up?"
"I was a little tired earlier, so I took a nap." Su Nian yawned widely and asked, "What happened?"
"Um... People from Yuexia Pavilion have come to our Quanxiu Sect to propose marriage!" Junior Sister said, giving Su Nian a strange look.
"Oh, I see." Su Nian gave a nonchalant "oh," and then asked, "Which immortal peak's senior sister was the one who got the attention?"
"Senior Brother Su..." The junior sister looked at him speechlessly.
"What's wrong?" Feeling a bit strange being stared at like that by her junior sister.
"The person being proposed to this time... is you."
"What?"
