Ye Hua was secretly overjoyed.
He even considered going up and fanning the flames.
But he noticed that the elders' expressions were not good, so he gave up the idea.
He sneered inwardly: Third Senior Brother, from today onwards, I'm afraid your days in the sect will not be easy.
Just as the hall was so quiet you could hear a pin drop, Liu Feifei pursed her lips, unsure how to respond, when a disciple came to report from outside the door.
"Reporting to the elders, the Third Elder of the Seven Star Sect requests an audience!"
"The Seven Star Sect?" Second Elder Li Moli's expression was strange. "What are the people from the Seven Star Sect doing here at this time?"
Hong Jiuquan raised her eyebrows slightly.
Si Qiushan?
Didn't she just turn back from the green-haired ghost yesterday?
The elders all looked puzzled, but Su Nian knew the truth.
"Please let her in."
"yes!"
Before the female disciple could relay the message, a voice could be heard outside the door.
"Elder Liu is truly impressive! I could hear him shouting 'You can't judge people properly' even outside the hall!"
As soon as she finished speaking, a noblewoman dressed in red walked into the hall. She looked at everyone in the hall with a smile on her lips.
Liu Yanqing raised an eyebrow slightly as he looked at the newcomer, "Elder Si Qiushan?"
Si Qiushan looked around and smiled slightly, "Oh my, this place is quite lively. Several elders of the Quanxiu Sect have gathered here, as well as the Fifth Elder of the Yuexia Pavilion. Could it be that something earth-shattering has happened?"
"It's nothing serious. May I ask what brings the Third Elder of the Seven Star Sect here today?" Second Elder Li Moli asked expressionlessly.
At this moment, Si Qiushan appeared. Could it be that she came to stir up trouble?
Several elders were curious as to why Si Qiushan had suddenly appeared here.
Logically speaking, the Seven Star Sect and Quanxiu Sect are located in the south and north of the Nine Provinces, respectively, and are far apart, so they have almost no contact.
The Fifth Elder of Yuexia Pavilion was also puzzled. Could it be that Si Qiushan had some mission, which was why she came here specifically?
Liu Yanqing suddenly remembered the note that someone had left outside his house this morning.
The note stated that Su Nian had been wrongly accused after saving someone, and hoped that he could bring his daughter to prove Su Nian's innocence.
Could it be...
"Of course it's a matter of utmost importance." Si Qiushan covered her mouth and chuckled, then looked at Liu Yanqing, "Elder Liu, did you see the note from this morning?"
"It really is you!" Liu Yanqing narrowed his eyes.
“That’s right, it’s me.” Si Qiushan’s gaze swept over everyone and she said calmly, “I have been investigating the case of the Demon Clan’s invasion of the major sects. I used my sect’s secret technique, the Seven Star Soul Searching Technique, to search the soul of a Demon Clan member and learned about the incident. When I confirmed that the only witness at the scene was Liu Feifei, I informed Elder Liu with paper and pen.”
At this point, she looked at Elder Liu with amusement and said, "However... Elder Liu, in my letter I only briefly described the ins and outs of the matter and hoped that you could bring your daughter to be a witness for Su Nian, but why... have you even prepared the betrothal gifts?"
Liu Yanqing's face darkened.
Why did Si Qiushan deliberately omit the facts in her letter? Was she afraid that he wouldn't come after knowing that Su Nian's cultivation was completely destroyed?
"So Elder Si knew about this all along. Thank you for clearing Su Nian of suspicion." Fourth Elder Mo Rouyun nodded and said.
Si Qiushan replied with a smile, "You're welcome. Su Nian is the most promising young talent I value most. How could I let him be wronged?"
Now Su Nian finally understood where the problem lay.
It turns out that Liu Feifei came to testify because Si Qiushan secretly intervened.
She did not return directly to the Seven Star Sect, but instead secretly gathered evidence.
"Alas..." Fourth Elder Mo Rouyun sighed and shook her head. "Thank you for your help, Elder Si, but... the evidence came too late. Su Nian's nascent soul is now destroyed. No matter how much we say, it is too late to undo the damage."
The elders remained silent.
Si Qiushan ignored him, still smiling faintly, and turned to Liu Yanqing, saying, "I think I heard something outside the door just now... Elder Liu doesn't plan to marry his daughter to Su Nian?"
Liu Feifei wanted to say something more, but Liu Yanqing pulled her behind him and said calmly, "It's a pity about young friend Li's fate, but even so, Feifei has developed feelings for him. Unfortunately, he politely declined. Love is unrequited, and it seems that we at Yuexia Pavilion will not be able to send out these betrothal gifts today..."
Si Qiushan smiled and said, "In that case, may I dare to borrow these betrothal gifts from Elder Liu and propose marriage to Su Nian, the third disciple of Liuli Peak of Quanxiu Sect, once again?"
These words shocked everyone present.
Everyone looked at Si Qiushan in surprise.
Su Nian was equally surprised.
What exactly does this woman want to do?
"Elder Si...do you know...my disciple's Nascent Soul has been destroyed?" Su Liuli asked hesitantly.
In fact, everyone knew in their hearts that Si Qiushan's move was undoubtedly to support Su Nian.
Despite being his own disciple, Su Liuli, as his master, had hurt his feelings and now had to rely on outsiders for support. Su Liuli felt inexplicably uncomfortable.
"Of course I know, otherwise I wouldn't have sent a message to Elder Liu of the Moon Pavilion, asking him to come and prove Su Nian's innocence," Si Qiushan said calmly.
The Second Elder couldn't help but say, "Elder Si... let's get this straight. I know you admire Su Nian from our sect, but this marriage requires the mutual consent of both disciples. If your sect's disciples find out that Su Nian's Nascent Soul is now destroyed and then try to back out, it will become a scandal..."
"Heh." Si Qiushan's lips curled slightly.
She looked up at the stage, her beautiful eyes turning into a shallow crescent moon. "When did I ever say that the other party proposing marriage... was my disciple?"
The Second Elder asked in confusion, "That's..."
Si Qiushan looked at Su Nian, and under his astonished gaze, she walked up to him and kissed him directly!
All the elders stood up from their chairs in astonishment!
Ye Yixuan covered her mouth, looking at this scene in astonishment.
Ye Hua frowned, feeling as if a stone was lodged in his chest.
Fourth Elder Mo Rouyun's beautiful eyes widened, then a smile appeared in the corner of her eyes as she secretly sighed that this lad had actually begun to understand romance.
The Sixth Elder, Li Baiyu, remained cold and indifferent, turning a blind eye to all of this.
Second Elder Li Moli slightly parted her red lips, completely bewildered.
The First Elder, Hong Jiuquan, remained expressionless, but inwardly cursed Si Qiushan for being shameless, doing such a humiliating thing in public.
Liu Feifei stared at the two of them with her mouth agape in surprise, pouting, her heart churning with jealousy.
Liu Yanqing stroked his beard, wondering what Si Qiushan was really up to.
The kiss lasted a long time, and among all the people present, the most surprised was Su Nian.
He knew that Si Qiushan had cleared his name out of gratitude for saving his life, but he didn't expect her to be so crazy as to kiss him forcefully in front of so many people!
After a long while, their lips parted.
Si Qiushan wiped her moist red lips and winked at Su Nian.
