Li Sisui couldn't explain anything; the more he tried, the worse it got. He could only tell this clansman with his eyes: "Mind your own business and shut up!"
You can't have your cake and eat it too; the ancients were right.
However, if Li Sisui could only choose between fish and bear's paw, it would not benefit him in any way; he could neither have both nor have either.
Since that's the case, then I'll take half the fish and half the bear's paw, is that alright?
Noon is the best time for cultivation according to the Tu people. If he doesn't appear at this time, it will likely arouse suspicion from others. So, Li Sisui will participate in cultivation and meals as usual at noon.
Once he fell asleep at night, that wouldn't be a problem, so Li Sisui continued his cultivation until nightfall, returning to his residence before his clansmen woke up.
Aside from midday cultivation time and meals, there shouldn't be anything wrong with Li Sisui using the rest of his time to sleep, right?
Thinking this, Li Sisui's long-suppressed inner knot was finally untied, and he finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Once I break through to the Pulse Realm, I can naturally participate in the Outer Sect Trials. After passing the trials, I can join the Inner Sect and then focus on my cultivation without so many worries.
Having finally figured out all the problems, Li Sisui felt an indescribable joy. As the sky darkened, Li Sisui fell into a deep sleep. He had been expending a lot of energy recently, and he could finally rest peacefully without any worries.
Starting from the second day, Li Sisui began to execute the plan he had previously devised. Although he was a little tired after all this, it was still within his tolerance.
To Li Sisui's surprise, no one in his clansmen cared about his disappearance anymore.
In their eyes, it seemed that they could see Li Sisui every day, and gradually everything returned to calm, but Li Sisui's cultivation level was increasing day by day.
In the days that followed, Li Sisui encountered Su Qingyu several more times in the back mountain. Having had the experience of their first meeting, the two seemed quite familiar with each other and chatted happily when they met again.
Su Qingyu did not regard Li Sisui as a lowly outsider (although he was), and Li Sisui did not regard Su Qingyu as an unapproachable young lady of the clan.
The two chatted back and forth in the desolate and quiet back mountain. Occasionally, Su Qingyu's clear and cheerful laughter could be heard, but no one knew what they were talking about.
Looking at Su Qingyu, who was laughing so hard she couldn't stop, Li Sisui suddenly felt a little drunk and felt a soft spot in his heart being touched.
Su Qingyu's laughter seemed to infect Li Sisui, who also started laughing along.
Although Su Qingyu is nearly sixty years old, based on the lifespan of the Tu tribe, she is equivalent to a girl in her early twenties in the previous world.
Moreover, this girl has probably only had one male friend, Li Sisui, since birth, so she is naturally clueless about romantic relationships.
However, the relaxed atmosphere between the two made Su Qingyu feel at ease.
For a moment, deep down, she wished that this feeling of relaxation could last forever.
There were no worries about cultivation, no infighting between families, no stern gaze from his father, and no struggle for survival within the clan.
All that exists is freedom; the sea is wide enough for fish to leap, and the sky is high enough for birds to fly.
As someone with experience, Li Sisui naturally never hides anything about matters of the heart and speaks his mind frankly.
He held nothing back or retreated in his affection for Su Qingyu.
But this affection, given the current circumstances, can only be kept hidden.
Li Sisui could only secretly love her, but he couldn't let anyone know, including Su Qingyu.
