The Liuli Peak soars into the clouds, surrounded by celestial energy. Cultivating at the summit is twice as effective, and all disciples of Liuli Peak cultivate at the summit, except for Su Nian.
Su Nian was taken in by Su Liuli when he was a child and became the only male disciple in the sect. He has been diligent in his cultivation and helpful since childhood, all in order not to disgrace his master and to repay his master's kindness in raising him.
When Su Nian was ten years old, she took the initiative to distance herself from her fellow disciples and moved to the foot of the mountain on her own, because she believed that men and women should be different and she did not want to leave a bad reputation for Liuli Peak.
The wooden house he built was small, but clean and tidy.
After the verdict against Su Nian was temporarily suspended, Su Nian returned here and locked herself inside the house.
"Knock knock knock!"
There was a knock on the door.
It is Senior Sister Ye Yixuan and Junior Brother Ye Hua.
Ye Yixuan kept banging on the door and shouted loudly into the quiet room, "Third Junior Brother? Third Junior Brother? Master wants you to go to the summit, Third Junior Brother? Third Junior Brother?"
No matter how long she knocked on the door, there was still no response from inside the wooden house.
Ye Hua then advised, "Senior Sister, why don't we just let it go? Third Senior Brother just went through an enforcement ruling, so it's understandable that he's in a bad mood right now. Since he's unwilling to open the door, let's not force him, shall we?"
Ye Yixuan sighed softly and said, "Alas! Junior Brother, do you think Third Junior Brother was really wronged?"
Ye Hua knew perfectly well what was going on, but still pretended to be lost in thought, stroking his chin as he pondered, "To be honest, I also don't want to believe that my usually upright Third Senior Brother would do such a thing. Before I joined the sect, I often heard people say that Senior Brother Su of the Quanxiu Sect was polite and approachable, but his behavior when he was attacked that day was really... somewhat different from what I had heard before..."
Ye Hua spoke softly, seemingly finding it difficult to say.
Ye Yixuan saw Ye Hua's concerns, shook her head, and shushed him, "Junior Brother, keep your voice down, don't let your Third Senior Brother hear."
"I'm sorry, Senior Sister, I will be careful what I say."
Ye Yixuan shook her head. "It's not surprising that you would have such thoughts. The feeling I got from my third junior brother today was quite different from usual. People's hearts are fickle, and no one can judge a person's future based on the past."
Ye Yixuan lowered her eyebrows slightly, recalling Su Nian's reaction, her eyes filled with sorrow, "I have been with your third senior brother for many years, and I have never seen him show such an expression. Junior brother, do you think... will he hate me, his senior sister, because of this, and never talk to me again?"
Ye Hua patted Ye Yixuan's shoulder and comforted her, "Don't think like that, Senior Sister. I think Third Senior Brother is just having a moment of weakness. Let's give him some time. Once he's thought things through, everything will be fine. In the meantime, let's investigate this matter together. If Third Senior Brother is truly innocent, we can apologize to him. Given the long-standing friendship between Senior Sister and Third Senior Brother, he will definitely forgive you!"
"I hope so, sigh..."
After saying that, the two left together.
Shortly after they disappeared, another figure in blue slowly floated down from the sky and landed in front of the wooden house.
Su Liuli stood at the door of the wooden house, raised her hand as if to knock, but hesitated.
Her eyebrows drooped slightly as Su Nian's words from the Enforcement Hall earlier that day came to mind. She sighed softly and gently knocked on the door of the wooden house.
"Nian'er, are you inside? Your teacher has come to see you. Can you open the door?"
A long time passed after he finished speaking, but there was no response from inside the room.
Just as Su Liuli thought Su Nian wouldn't open the door for her and was about to shake her head and leave, the door of the wooden house creaked open from the inside.
Su Nian looked at her master outside the house, her face expressionless, her eyes empty, and asked indifferently, "What brings you here, Master?"
Su Liuli stopped in her tracks, smiling helplessly, and said, "Nian'er, won't you invite your teacher in for a seat first?"
Su Nian stared at her calmly, then stepped aside.
"Come in."
After entering the room, Su Liuli looked around at the surroundings.
The room was very simple and clean, everything was neatly organized, the mattress was folded in the corner of the bed, and the window was open, offering a view of the large expanse of shade outside.
On the neat wooden table was a portrait of Su Nian, Su Liuli, and several other female disciples of Liuli Peak.
This was painted for them by a street artist last time. Seeing that Su Nian had placed the portrait in such a prominent position, Su Liuli smiled knowingly, knowing that Su Nian still had her in his heart.
Instead of getting straight to the point, she asked, "Nian'er, a few days ago someone gave me a piece of green Ganoderma lucidum. It can be brewed into tea and has the effect of warming and nourishing the meridians, which is very beneficial to cultivation."
As she spoke, she took out a lingzhi mushroom that shone with a lustrous luster, like green jade, from her sleeve.
"I am giving this to you in the hope that it will make your cultivation twice as effective."
Su Nian stared at the green lingzhi mushroom, remaining silent for a long time.
Su Liuli held up the green lingzhi mushroom, her face showing embarrassment.
Even after she humbled herself and offered a way out, Nian'er still wouldn't forgive her?
"Take it back, Master. From now on, Nian'er will never need it again," Su Nian said calmly.
Su Liuli's heart clenched upon hearing this.
“Nian’er, this is not the Hall of Law Enforcement. It is only the two of us, master and disciple. I will definitely investigate the case of colluding with the demons to kill our fellow disciples. If it is true that you did not do it, I will definitely clear your name. Why are you still so stubborn and threatening to kill yourself?”
Su Nian shook her head.
He gazed into his master's eyes, and their eyes met. Su Liuli saw a mix of emotions in Su Nian's gaze.
