A month has passed in the blink of an eye since the day Si Qiushan and Qian Shudie were sent away.
During this time, Su Liuli would often come down the mountain to take the initiative to inquire about Su Nian's well-being and persuade him to return to the path of cultivation. However, Su Nian remained unmoved. No matter how eloquent Su Liuli was, bringing her countless rare and precious materials to repair her golden core, Su Nian always kept her at arm's length, which greatly troubled Su Liuli.
The news that Su Nian, the number one genius of Quanxiu Sect, destroyed his nascent soul was leaked by someone and quickly spread throughout the streets and alleys.
People often talked about this as a joke, some laughing at Quan Xiuzong for not appreciating it and letting such a genius ruin his cultivation, while others lamented that such a prodigy had fallen, which was truly a misfortune for Quan Xiuzong.
How many young powerhouses in the entire Nine Provinces can reach the mid-Nascent Soul stage at the age of twenty?
It's no exaggeration to say that the number is probably less than five!
Even if we include the direct disciples of the top immortal sects, Su Nian's cultivation level is still among the best!
Logically speaking, before the injustice is cleared, colluding with the demons and murdering fellow disciples is a capital offense, so many immortal sects outside put considerable pressure on Quan Xiu.
Even so, Quan Xiu still wanted to protect Su Nian, so he only planned to throw him into the Cliff of Repentance and confine him for ten years as an explanation to the outside world.
Therefore, when people heard that Quan Xiuzong's number one genius had fallen, how could they not feel sad?
At the foot of Quanxiu Mountain lies a town called Rivet City. This town is the foundation of the Quanxiu Sect, and many of the sect's businesses are scattered throughout Rivet City. If anyone dares to cause trouble in Rivet City, it is always the disciples of the Quanxiu Sect who step in to resolve the issue.
Therefore, most people in Rivet City knew Quan Xiuzong's disciples.
Today, Rivet City is as bustling as ever, with people thronging the streets and vendors shouting their wares from time to time. If you zoom in, you can see three young women dressed in blue sitting in a noodle shop in a corner of the alley.
The three women's swords were laid out on the table. They simply ordered three bowls of vegetarian noodles from the shopkeeper and waited patiently.
The three women were seated with a hierarchy of importance. If you looked closely, you could tell that the aloof girl in the middle sat upright with a cold expression, seemingly indifferent to everything around her.
Compared to her aloofness, the two female warriors beside her seemed rather joyful.
They sat on the chairs, laughing and chatting with each other.
One of them stretched and exclaimed, "Wow~ this trip has been so long! More than a month has passed without us even realizing it. We're going back to the sect soon. Senior Sister Liu Xian, aren't you excited?"
The female knight-errant sitting opposite, named Liu Xian, glanced at the aloof woman and chuckled, "Of course I'm excited! But compared to me, our Senior Sister Xinrou must be even more excited, right?"
Upon hearing this, the other person also turned their gaze to the aloof woman, winked at Xu Xinrou with a teasing look, and said with a smile, "That's right, we're about to see the Junior Brother Su that we've been longing for. Our Senior Sister Xinrou's face has been stiff the whole way, it's time for her to smile."
Teasing from the two, Xu Xinrou calmly sipped her tea and said lightly, "You've all misunderstood. Junior Brother Su and I are just ordinary fellow disciples, and there are no strange emotions involved."
"Oh~ really?" Liu Xian crossed his arms with a half-smile, resting one hand on his chin, and recalled, "I wonder who... immediately packed their things after completing the mission, eager to return to the sect?"
"The sect is the foundation of us Quanxiu disciples. It's only natural that we'd be homesick after being away for so long, right?" Xu Xinrou said, taking another sip of tea.
She herself didn't realize that she had drunk four or five cups of tea while answering their questions.
"Homesick? Yes, yes! Senior Sister Xu is right." Liu Xian crossed his arms and nodded.
She suddenly sighed and said sadly, "Sigh... Speaking of which, I really envy Senior Sister Xu... The only male disciple in the sect is on your Liuli Peak. Senior Brother Su Nian is handsome, strong, and has a stable personality. He is also grateful. If our peak had a senior brother like him, I would definitely stick to his side every day!"
Another female disciple said with a grin, "Who said our sect only has one male disciple? Wasn't Ye Hua, who came last year, also a male disciple?"
Speaking of Ye Hua, Xu Xinrou always felt that this person was strange.
He was eloquent and knew how to charm women. As soon as he joined the sect, he gained the favor of the eldest senior sister and was allowed to live on the summit. To be honest, Xu Xinrou harbored resentment about this.
Ye Hua was very talented. Unlike Su Nian, he did not start cultivating immortality from a young age. Instead, he began cultivating immortality at the age of fifteen.
In just one year, he went from nothing to the Great Perfection of the Foundation Establishment stage. Such talent surpasses even that of Su Nian.
If given more time, he might truly surpass Su Nian and become the strongest of the younger generation on the entire continent.
The more popular Ye Hua was, the stronger Xu Xinrou's sense of unease became.
Deep inside, a voice seemed to be constantly warning her to stay away from Ye Hua.
She didn't know why she had such thoughts; all she knew was that she preferred being with Su Nian to Ye Hua.
Liu Xian rested his chin on his hand, looked at Xu Xinrou, and teased, "Speaking of which, Senior Sister Xu, with your talent, you should have been more suited to Elder Six's Ice Heart Peak, right? Why did you become Elder Seven's disciple and Elder Su Liuli's apprentice?"
Another person chuckled and said, "Is there any need to ask? Senior Sister Xu and Senior Brother Su entered the sect in the same year, so she must have had a crush on Senior Brother Su since they were little!"
Even though Xu Xinrou was cold-hearted, she couldn't help but glare at her.
"Don't talk nonsense! I just prefer Liuli Peak."
