"What's wrong, Senior Sister?"
Su Nian realized something was wrong and her heart started pounding.
"After thinking about what you just said, I feel that going with you isn't entirely out of the question..."
As Xu Xinrou spoke, her face flushed as if she had put on a blush, and the moonlight poured into the room, illuminating the girl's shyness.
This was the first time Su Nian had seen Xu Xinrou with such an expression, and she was momentarily captivated by her gaze.
"Senior sister, will you agree?"
Xu Xinrou paused for a moment and then softly hummed in agreement.
Su Nian was overjoyed, "Really?!"
"But... I have conditions."
"What are your conditions? Tell me! Don't just say one condition, even if it's ten! A hundred! I'll agree to them all!"
Xu Xinrou smiled with relief. She went to Su Nian's bedside, took his exposed hand in hers, and said slowly, "Junior Brother Su, may I ask you, do you really have no attachments to the sect?"
Their eyes met, and Su Nian answered earnestly, "I only have three people I cherish in Quanxiu: the Fourth Elder, who treated me like his own son; the Sixth Elder, who was as indifferent as water; and the third... the most important to me, Senior Sister Xu!"
Xu Xinrou felt a warmth in her heart, but then she became troubled. "What about Master?"
When Su Liuli was mentioned, Su Nian remained expressionless. "Excuse me for speaking frankly, Senior Sister Xu, Master no longer holds any place in my heart."
Xu Xinrou sighed and smiled wryly, "But to me, Master is the most respectable elder in the world."
Su Nian remained silent.
He could completely understand Xu Xinrou's words. If it weren't for Ye Hua, the chosen one, their entire Immortal Peak would probably be able to live a harmonious and happy life.
“You were framed by thieves in the case of the Illusion Demon, and your master didn’t trust you during that time, so you have some resentment towards your master, which I can understand. But your master is your master after all. She has raised us for many years. How can we easily abandon the kindness of raising us? Moreover, your master was also deceived in the case of the Illusion Demon. The fault does not lie with her. If we abandon her and run away because of this, I am afraid I will never be able to forgive myself for the rest of my life.”
Su Nian let out a long sigh.
really.
Things will turn out like this again.
When Xu Xinrou agreed to his request, he knew that things would not be so simple.
"Then, senior sister, what do you plan to do?"
Xu Xinrou looked at him with gentle eyes, "Give your senior sister some more time to properly say goodbye to Master, okay? We can't just leave like this after so many years of kindness. If others find out, won't we be branded as heartless and ungrateful? So, I want to take good care of Master first, and then we can leave openly when the time is right, is that alright?"
"this……"
Admittedly, Su Nian also wanted to leave Quanxiu openly and honestly.
But he didn't know if Ye Hua would give him that chance. If Ye Hua suddenly played some underhanded tricks before they left, it would be too late for them to leave.
"Senior sister, we probably don't have that much time." Su Nian gripped Xu Xinrou's hand tightly and said in a deep voice, "Quanxiu shouldn't stay any longer; the sooner we leave, the better!"
Xu Xinrou was taken aback.
She didn't understand why Su Nian had such a solemn and serious expression.
She realized there was something hidden in Su Nian's words, so she asked, "Why? Is there some secret behind this?"
After thinking for a moment, Su Nian finally decided to confess: "That Ye Hua, he has ties with the demon race, and he will definitely make Quanxiu a great place in the future..."
Before he could finish speaking, in bed, Si Shulan, unable to bear it any longer, opened her mouth and bit Su Nian's hand hard.
Su Nian's expression changed, and she pursed her lips.
"Junior Brother Su? What's wrong?" Xu Xinrou asked worriedly.
"No, it's nothing... I just suddenly got a hand cramp..." Su Nian said with a forced smile.
"Hand cramps?" Xu Xinrou was incredibly perceptive. She noticed Su Nian's unusual behavior at a glance and followed his other hand to see something pupa-like in the bulging blankets.
She abruptly threw off the covers, giving Su Nian no chance to explain.
The blanket was pulled back, and Xu Xinrou saw Si Shulan standing there, stunned.
Their eyes met, and Si Shulan scratched her head awkwardly.
She chuckled awkwardly and tried to greet him, "Um... hi? Xinrou, do you remember me? We explored the secret realm together before..."
