If someone were standing close to Li Sisui at this moment, they would definitely notice the dark spots on his face, which were rapidly enlarging and shrinking, like breathing, and at an unprecedented speed.
Li Sisui was completely oblivious to the dark spots on his face, but he was utterly astonished by the speed at which the photons were being guided around him.
The effect of this one night's cultivation was almost equivalent to a month's worth of cultivation on a regular day. It would be strange if Li Sisui wasn't surprised by such an incredible speed.
Although she realized that she did not belong to the Tu tribe, she had only intended to take a simple test, but she did not expect the difference to be so great.
As he reached the final stage of cultivation, the tangible moonlight gathered around Li Sisui as if enlightened. If others were to witness such a magnificent sight, this heaven-defying cultivation speed would likely be fiercely contested by the three major families.
Li Sisui cultivated until four or five in the morning. The sun and moon had already disappeared, so he had no choice but to get up and walk back to his residence.
The night's cultivation yielded fruitful results, not only rekindling Li Sisui's desire to cultivate, but also making him even more eager for future cultivation achievements due to the rapid pace of his progress.
If Li Sisui had continued cultivating in the same way as before, he probably would never have broken through to the Pulse stage before he died, let alone enter the inner sect.
Now, changing our approach has yielded remarkable results; just when we thought we had reached a dead end, a new path opened up before us.
As Li Sisui thought this, his heart was filled with strength, and he finally had a glimmer of hope again.
After walking a few steps, Li Sisui felt as if someone was approaching from around the corner, so he stopped and looked closely.
This was quite an eye-opener; the person walking around the corner was none other than the one he had been longing for day and night.
Li Si rubbed his eyes, probably because he was mentally exhausted from cultivating all night and his vision was blurry.
Before Li Sisui could examine him more closely, the person in front of him spoke first. Clearly startled by Li Sisui's sudden appearance, his voice was cold and tinged with doubt as he said:
"Why would anyone be here so late at night?"
Li Sisui smiled bitterly and thought to himself:
"This is the question I should be asking you. You're a noble lady from a prominent clan, what are you doing in the outer sect in the middle of the night instead of staying in the inner sect? And you're asking me where else I could go if I'm not here?"
Despite thinking this, Li Sisui knew that if he answered like that, he might lose his life.
Whether it was a mental lapse or simply due to prolonged cultivation, Li Si casually replied:
"The night is long and I can't sleep. I thought I was the only one having trouble sleeping, but it turns out you can't sleep either, Miss!"
The young woman who appeared around the corner was the one Li Sisui could never forget.
Upon hearing Li Sisui's reply, the young woman was visibly taken aback.
Normally, no one in the clan would speak to him like this; they would either flatter him or be obsequious.
The young woman, finding it quite intriguing, frowned slightly and said:
"I'm not having trouble sleeping, I'm just having some things I can't figure out."
"What is troubling you so much, Miss? I wonder if I could offer some assistance?"
"Let's not talk about it, but I still want to thank you for that day!"
The young woman clearly didn't want to talk about her own affairs, and instead thanked Li Sisui with sincere eyes, which didn't seem like a casual remark.
Li Sisui exchanged a glance with the young woman, and suddenly felt flustered. He unconsciously lowered his head and rubbed his hands together, saying:
"It's my pleasure. I'm extremely honored to receive such personal thanks from you, Miss!"
"If that's the case, why give away the gift I gave as a token of gratitude to someone else?"
The young woman continued, her tone carrying a hint of accusation.
Li Sisui was instantly filled with panic. Could it be that this wasn't a chance encounter, but rather someone who had come specifically to settle scores with him? What should he do? Li Sisui hesitated unconsciously for a moment before replying:
"Such a sacred object is an immense favor, and I am overwhelmed with gratitude. However, my cultivation is too low to accept it. Moreover, that person has not only done me a great favor, but also needs this object more than I do. A gentleman helps others achieve their goals, so I have generously gifted it to them. I hope you will forgive me, Miss!"
What is a gentleman?
"A person of high moral character."
Li Si finished speaking cautiously and waited for the young woman to speak. After a while, he heard the young woman give a faint "oh" and then fall silent. The atmosphere suddenly became somewhat awkward.
The long wait made Li Sisui anxious, like an ant on a hot pan, with large beads of sweat constantly seeping from his forehead.
The courage I had mustered to chat earlier has long since been blown away by the biting cold wind.
The young lady of the clan before him not only possessed astonishing cultivation but also had a terrifying background. The more Li Sisui thought about her words, the more frightened he became, after all, he only had one life.
Now he could only resign himself to fate and wait for the young woman to decide his fate, keeping his mouth tightly shut and daring not to say another word.
The dark night sky gradually turned white, the starlight dimmed, the long night gradually receded, and dawn was about to break.
The young woman looked at Li Sisui in front of her, but said nothing more. She turned and left, leaving only her back view.
Li Sisui watched the young woman turn and leave, and breathed a sigh of relief; it was a close call.
However, the increasingly distant young woman filled Li Sisui with immense reluctance to part with her. He didn't know when he would see her face again after this separation. Although Li Sisui was unwilling for the young woman to leave, he was helpless.
Finally, steeling himself, he mustered his courage and shouted at the young woman's retreating figure:
"My name is Li Sisui, I don't know..."
Li Sisui no longer had the courage to shout out the rest, fearing he might cause trouble.
Upon hearing Li Sisui's voice, the young woman paused slightly, then said calmly without turning her head:
“Qingyu”.
Then, taking three steps at a time, he disappeared from Li Sisui's sight in just a few breaths.
