Nangong Xiyun soon realized the issue and began assisting her disciple once more.
She whispered a few words to Little Yu.
Such matters only required a simple request to Little Yu, who would usually agree.
As for Jiang Ningshu, she simply dragged her away without hesitation.
Thus, for several nights in a row, Li Siyi had Su Luo all to herself.
Jiang Ningshu remarked sarcastically from outside, "Nangong Xiyun, you truly are a wonderful master."
"Of course, no need for you to point that out."
"Hmph, you just acted first."
"Enough already."
Meanwhile, Little Yu began cultivating. Without Su Luo by her side, she found it hard to sleep, so she might as well focus on her training.
...
Happy times never last long. Today marked the final day before Su Luo and the others were set to depart.
Li Siyi took them around the Seven Stars Sword Sect for one last stroll.
Though reluctant to part, each of them had their own responsibilities to attend to.
However, the Seven Stars Sword Sect was also abuzz with other discussions.
"Hey, hey, big news!"
"What? I’ve got some too."
"You go first."
"The Emperor Heaven Sect has arrived."
At this time, Di Haoao and his group from the Emperor Heaven Sect were still on the South Continent.
Their purpose was to express gratitude to the sects that had aided them in battling the demon beast horde.
Their first stop had been the Seven Stars Sword Sect, but they had coincidentally encountered the Heavenly Demon Sect then.
After resolving the Heavenly Demon Sect incident, they continued to thank the other sects.
Now, having completed their rounds, they returned to the Seven Stars Sword Sect one last time before heading back north.
"What’s so surprising about that?"
"What? Is your news even bigger?"
"After observing recently, I’ve realized that bandaged man is no ordinary person."
"No kidding. The partner of Elder Li couldn’t possibly be ordinary."
Many had seen them holding hands while walking around, and such rumors spread quickly.
Some had even tried to test the bandaged man, but before they could act, Li Siyi sent them flying.
The scene was nothing short of terrifying.
Thus, no one dared provoke the bandaged man anymore.
"If that were all, I wouldn’t have mentioned it. But recently, I noticed Nangong Xiyun also behaves unusually around him."
"What do you mean?"
"The other day, I saw Nangong Xiyun holding the bandaged man’s hand, with the same expression as Elder Li."
"Hey, hey, you can’t just say things like that."
"I’m not lying—I saw it with my own eyes!"
"What are you implying? That Nangong Xiyun is also involved with the bandaged man?"
"There’s more proof. Nangong Xiyun has been visiting that place frequently lately, and the bandaged man is always there."
"W-wait, are you saying master and disciple..."
"Shut up! Do you have a death wish?"
The discussion abruptly ended. They sensed that continuing might cost them their lives.
Without solid evidence, it was better not to spread baseless rumors.
Back to the Emperor Heaven Sect.
The group had now arrived.
Di Haoao had hoped to meet Lin Xuan, but to his disappointment, Lin Xuan was away on a trip with no clear return date.
A slight regret lingered.
Li Bei, also known as the North End Demon Lord, was among the group and would soon return with them to the Emperor Heaven Sect.
However, his mood was far from pleasant.
He no longer felt any sense of belonging to the Emperor Heaven Sect.
He tried to console himself—perhaps it was just the influence of his time with the Heavenly Demon Sect. Maybe staying longer with the Emperor Heaven Sect would dispel these thoughts.
At that moment, Li Bei sensed something and turned his gaze toward Li Siyi’s group.
He recognized Nangong Xiyun and Li Siyi, but the other three also felt strangely familiar.
Was he overthinking things?
Li Bei decided he needed to stop dwelling on such thoughts—his mind was already in chaos.
Su Luo also noticed Li Bei and pondered for a moment.
"Siyi, keep an eye on the North End Demon Lord."
"Why?"
Normally, Su Luo wouldn’t have said anything, but given his relationship with Li Siyi, keeping silent would be unfair to her.
Though Li Bei’s identity had been cleared, allowing him to return as a high-ranking member of the Emperor Heaven Sect, his heart remained dark.
Moreover, he was on the verge of collapse.
During this period, he grew bloodthirsty, craving murder to satisfy his twisted desires.
Life back in the Emperor Heaven Sect had been suffocating.
When someone provoked him, he couldn’t retaliate—he had to smile and endure.
In the past, such people would already be pushing up daisies.
But now, as a representative of the Emperor Heaven Sect, he couldn’t kill indiscriminately.
Having spent so long in the Heavenly Demon Sect, where he did as he pleased, the sudden restrictions were unbearable.
Thus, in the Seven Stars Sword Sect, he would snap.
In the days that followed, he began discreetly killing disciples of the Seven Stars Sword Sect.
At first, it was just ordinary disciples, but gradually, he targeted core disciples, claiming many lives.
Naturally, this drew the attention of the sect’s higher-ups, but no matter how they investigated, they couldn’t uncover the culprit.
The North End Demon Lord had learned much from his time in the Heavenly Demon Sect—committing the perfect crime was child’s play to him.
Only when Lin Xuan returned was the matter finally resolved.
Yes, in the end, the North End Demon Lord became yet another stepping stone for Lin Xuan.
After hearing Su Luo’s warning, Li Siyi immediately grew serious.
Having spent so much time in the Seven Stars Sword Sect and contributed greatly to its affairs, she now considered it her second home.
The thought of the North End Demon Lord’s impending actions enraged her.
"In that case, I’ll make some arrangements."
Since Su Luo had confided in her, Li Siyi believed she could intervene.
"Be careful."
"Don’t worry, I’ll leverage the sect’s resources." As an elder, Li Siyi wielded considerable authority.
Nangong Xiyun suddenly spoke up, "I’ll help as well."
"Aren’t you leaving with Su Luo?" Li Siyi was surprised.
"It’s fine. We’ll handle this matter first."
"Alright."
With Nangong Xiyun’s assistance, success was all but guaranteed.
The next day, Su Luo, Jiang Ningshu, and Little Yu departed.
Jiang Ningshu remarked, "The Seven Stars Sword Sect isn’t bad."
Little Yu added, "Yeah, I prefer it over the Heavenly Demon Sect."
Jiang Ningshu teased, "Oh, so the Heavenly Demon Sect is terrible, is it?"
"That’s not what I meant—"
"Relax, I’m just joking. I know exactly how awful the Heavenly Demon Sect is."
Su Luo mused, "Hearing this, maybe I should reform the New Heavenly Demon Sect."
The new sect was even worse than its predecessor.
"Su Luo, you can do whatever you want," Little Yu said without any demands.
As they conversed, the group swiftly flew toward Soul Return Valley.
Before leaving, Su Luo recorded the North End Demon Lord’s incident in his diary.
This was another plot point—and it came with rewards.
[Diary entry completed. Reward: Constitution +2, Strength +2, cultivation level increased by one. Current cultivation: Great Completion Stage, Peak.]
Li Siyi soon noticed the diary update, but this time, she felt no need to read it.
After all, Su Luo had already told her everything personally.
She was delighted.
To her, this was Su Luo taking the initiative to become the Seven Stars Sword Sect’s hero.
"See? I told you I got the better deal."
u serious?" Chen Feng watched helplessly as his painstakingly trained disciple, fresh off a championship victory, publicly abandoned him. "You had your chance, but you didn’t appreciate it. Now, face the consequences of your choice!" Chen Feng possessed the "Master System," a treasure trove of supreme martial arts techniques, capable of molding ordinary individuals into peerless prodigies. "Legs like yours? A shame not to train in the Crippling Kick." "Ever heard of a palm strike that descends from the heavens?" "Auntie! I see extraordinary bone structure in you—a martial arts prodigy, one in ten thousand." The once-defiant senior disciple, now watching her juniors rise to fame one after another, dominating the internet, was consumed by endless regret.
