But only he knew how much inferiority and helplessness were hidden beneath that indifferent composure.
Although Li Sisui wasn't particularly handsome before, at least he was just another face in the crowd, neither particularly good-looking nor particularly ugly. As ordinary as I am, I wouldn't feel any burden because of my appearance.
But now, the inexplicable dark spots on her face separate Li Sisui from this unfamiliar world, like a birthmark, constantly reminding her that she is an outsider.
Especially when facing someone they like, this unique difference is more like a brand etched on their face.
No matter how hard Ren Sisui tries, he cannot pretend to be indifferent and integrate into today's world.
After three hours of cultivation at night, Li Sisui could no longer continue cultivating peacefully. Various questions in his mind made him feel agitated and unable to concentrate on his cultivation.
I reached out and touched my left cheek. It felt smooth and delicate to the touch, and I couldn't feel anything unusual at all.
But Li Sisui knew in his heart that the dark spot still occupied his left cheek, untouched.
Feeling the subtle vibrations in the ground, Li Sisui's hearing was now exceptionally sharp. He could faintly hear footsteps coming from around the bend not far away. At this time, the only person who could be coming to the back mountain was Su Qingyu.
Realizing that Su Qingyu had arrived, he was overjoyed, for Su Qingyu was now the only one who could help him.
Li Sisui stood up, looking expectantly at the corner.
As they approached, a woman in green emerged from around the corner, her eyes darting tentatively towards Li Sisui, who was staring at her.
"Li Sisui?"
Li Si nodded with a disappointed look in his eyes, without saying a word.
Upon seeing this, the woman in green quickly stepped forward and said:
"I've come here to see you on your behalf, Miss!"
Li Sisui's previously disappointed eyes brightened again. Entrusted by someone, she called herself "Miss" in the clan. There was probably no one else but Su Qingyu.
The woman in green walked up to Li Sisui and, by the faint moonlight, was able to see him clearly.
Li Si was dressed in simple hemp clothing, his long hair covering his face, and his expression was unreadable, but he gave off a sense of decadence and haggardness.
The woman in green frowned slightly and said:
"The clan rewarded you with so many brand-new clothes, why are you still wearing hemp clothing?"
Li Sisui, slightly puzzled, recounted his conversation with Dongfang Bubai. The woman in green, who was listening nearby, couldn't contain her indignation and blurted out:
"This old man from the East actually did such petty theft and deceitful things. Fortunately, Miss knew his temperament in advance, so she asked me to come and thank him in person to express her gratitude!"
As he spoke, he took out a blue handkerchief from his waist, inside which were three emerald-green fruits of different sizes.
Li Sisui was taken aback when he saw them. These three emerald fruits were none other than the sacred cultivation fruit that Elder Ma had been longing for, the Manluo Fruit.
