Just a Brief Reunion

It's not that you're heavier, but maybe you just weigh more than Little Yu naturally.

But that's not the main point.

"What's all this about? Who was it that just threatened to kill me? Don't waste your energy—even at this distance, you can't kill me."

That's what Su Luo said, but right now, he didn't think Li Siyi harbored any resentment towards him.

Su Luo was genuinely baffled. Why didn't Li Siyi show any signs of resentment? She shouldn't have any good feelings towards the Heavenly Demon Sect.

Li Siyi, hearing this, was annoyed. "You can't kill me?"

"Watch me punch you to death." She lightly hit him with her tiny fists.

Little Yu wasn't happy either. She also wanted to take down Li Siyi but found her grip too tight.

Little Yu regretted being so easily subdued by Li Siyi earlier.

No way.

Little Yu also continued to hug Su Luo, hanging onto him.

For a moment, Su Luo found himself suspended between two women.

If there was a word to describe the feeling, it would be warmth.

It had been a long time since someone had been so affectionate with him.

The last few times, he had been caught up in serious plotlines that felt like dogshit. How could he possibly feel warmth in such situations?

Especially since he had failed to clear those scenarios, leaving his heart even colder.

But still, they couldn't stay like this forever.

"Alright, let's get down first."

After a while, they finally let go of Su Luo.

Little Yu quickly asked, "Su Luo, have you been doing well recently? Has anyone bullied you? I heard the Heavenly Demon Sect is terrifying."

"Of course, I'm fine. I know how to enjoy life. How about you? Your cultivation has improved so quickly. You must have been training hard."

"It's okay. Li Siyi helped a lot."

Little Yu didn't deny this. It was thanks to Li Siyi that she had managed to reach the early stage of the Golden Core before the secret realm opened.

"I didn't expect that. I thought your relationship wasn't great when I was in the sect."

Su Luo looked at Li Siyi, then at Little Yu, remembering how they would occasionally glare at each other back in the sect.

Li Siyi replied, "Our relationship hasn't improved. I just needed Little Yu's help, so we've been helping each other out."

"That's not bad."

Su Luo suddenly noticed a problem. Although Li Siyi had broken through to the Golden Core, unlike Little Yu, she had done so forcibly, and her foundation was unstable.

Su Luo could see it, but should he bring it up? Li Siyi was rather proud. Pointing this out might make her feel embarrassed.

Li Siyi also noticed the unusual expression on Su Luo's face.

"You've noticed? As expected of you."

"Yeah, you forced your breakthrough."

"Ah?!" Little Yu was surprised.

"What are you surprised about? I don't have your natural talent." Li Siyi wasn't jealous; she simply accepted the reality.

Su Luo continued, "Why? There was no need to rush."

"I didn't want to, but there wasn't enough time. This experience has made me realize that the once-brilliant genius of Autumn Wind City is gone."

"Regret it?"

"Not too much. At least I get to see you here. That's already a win."

"You make it sound like it's my fault."

"It is your fault, hmph."

But it didn't sound like she was blaming him.

Su Luo sometimes found it hard to deal with Li Siyi. She resembled the Li Siyi he remembered, but there were times when she seemed different.

For Su Luo, the current Li Siyi had a sense of mystery.

Yet, she harbored no ill intentions towards him.

Perhaps, this wasn't so bad.

What followed was a casual chat.

Little Yu talked about her time in the sect, although it was ordinary, she wanted to share it with Su Luo.

She also inquired about Su Luo's life in the Heavenly Demon Sect.

Su Luo didn’t hide much, sharing his recent experiences and stating that he was doing great.

Li Siyi didn’t talk much about herself; she mostly listened, occasionally complimenting Su Luo’s methods.

"Wait, how did we end up chatting about domestic matters? This is a secret realm. We should be racing against time for opportunities."

Su Luo realized that while he was indifferent, Li Siyi and Little Yu should be here for the opportunities.

"It's not easy to see you, so those things don't matter," Li Siyi said unexpectedly. Normally, she was quite eager for opportunities.

Originally, she thought that after parting with Su Luo, she could still keep up with his life through his diary. Even without meeting, it would be a special kind of companionship.

But after Su Luo entered the Heavenly Demon Sect, he stopped writing about her in his diary. Li Siyi felt that seeing Su Luo was more precious than anything.

"Yeah, it doesn't matter," Little Yu agreed, echoing Li Siyi's feelings.

"Don't. It's rare to enter here. Don't waste it," Su Luo urged.

In his opinion, there would be plenty of time in the future and chances to meet, but the secret realm didn't open easily.

Su Luo quickly took out a large sheet of paper and started scribbling frantically.

With Su Luo's cultivation and skills, it didn't take long for a massive, colorful map of the secret realm's strategy to emerge.

It was filled with details about various opportunities, routes, and notes, making it extremely comprehensive.

"Go back. You two can't handle all these opportunities alone. Team up with the Seven Stars Sword Sect to clear this secret realm."

"Can't you come with us, Su Luo?" Little Yu still didn't want to separate from Su Luo so soon.

"Little Yu, I'm now with the Heavenly Demon Sect. I can't openly team up with you anymore, and these things aren't useful for me. By the way, take these as well. I looted them from the Heavenly Demon Sect."

Su Luo handed over everything he had, letting Li Siyi and Little Yu divide the spoils.

He had already disposed of the useless or harmful items, leaving only the good ones.

After handing everything over, Su Luo said, "The time's up. I need to go. You two head back. I'll come back later."

Little Yu hesitated for a moment before saying, "Then I'll wait for you. See you soon."

In her heart, Little Yu wanted to ask if they could spend more time together, but she thought better of it, not wanting to make things difficult for Su Luo.

Li Siyi also felt reluctant to see her go, but she knew what Su Luo had to do next. Jokingly masking her feelings, she said:

"Thank you so much for all these good things. What's that phrase again? Sponsoring? Su Luo, are you going to sponsor me?"

"You, the proud genius? You wouldn't say something like that back then."

"It's all your fault. All my pride is gone." Li Siyi's tone and expression were eerily similar to Su Luo's when he was feeling defeated.

Su Luo felt that even if Li Siyi said that, the core of who she was probably wouldn't change.

There was something Su Luo had been curious about for a while.

"I’m curious. I’ve already joined the Heavenly Demon Sect. Why aren’t you against it?"

"Joining the Heavenly Demon Sect doesn’t mean I have to cut ties with you."

"That’s not how it works. What about your sense of justice?"

"Why don’t you ask Little Yu?"

"Because you’re different from Little Yu."

The explanation was complex, but with that, Li Siyi understood.

Li Siyi spoke with conviction: "I trust you, Su Luo. You have your principles, and even though this might sound shameless, Su Luo, I know you."

Reading Su Luo’s diary, how could she not know? That’s why Li Siyi called herself shameless.

Spying on someone’s diary was truly shameless.
