Arriving at the Seven-Star Sword Sect

Su Luo glanced at their battle but soon lost interest, turning instead to guide Little Yu, who was diligently cultivating.

However, there wasn’t much to guide her on—Little Yu had already forged her own path by now.

"Su Luo."

"What do you think? Should we stop them?"

Su Luo only wanted Little Yu to face the attacks of Nangong Xiyun and the others to gain some combat experience.

"Don’t joke around. I’m not strong enough yet."

"You can give it a try when there’s a chance."

After all, Nangong Xiyun and Jiang Ningshu would keep an eye on Little Yu. Having these two as sparring partners was quite beneficial.

"Mm."

Little Yu continued her cultivation while Su Luo simply watched from the side.

Yet, under Su Luo’s gaze, Little Yu felt herself improving in every aspect—her state of mind, movements, and even her thoughts.

She didn’t know why she felt this way, but being watched by Su Luo filled her with happiness.

......

Within the Seven Stars Sword Sect.

Li Siyi was still in a meeting, though this time it was an internal discussion within the sect, separate from the other sects.

While the major sects had already decided to launch a campaign against the Earthly Fiend Sect, they wouldn’t act immediately.

For now, the plan was to gather intelligence on the Earthly Fiend Sect’s location and general situation before taking action.

Li Siyi discreetly finished reading Su Luo’s latest diary entry. As expected, the next target was indeed the Earthly Fiend Sect.

Even if she had guessed wrong, Li Siyi had the influence to shift the target—her authority within the Seven Stars Sword Sect had grown significantly.

The meeting continued.

Li Siyi focused and began voicing her opinions.

Finally, it ended. Stepping outside, Li Siyi let out a sigh of relief.

Discussing all these matters was exhausting.

But then, she spotted a familiar figure in the distance—a man wrapped in strange bandages.

Overjoyed, Li Siyi hurried over. "You came?"

The bandaged man was naturally Su Luo. He had visited in this guise before, so there was no need to sneak in.

In fact, he had even been warmly welcomed upon arrival.

Su Luo mused that Li Siyi’s status in the Seven Stars Sword Sect had risen considerably—these people were clearly trying to curry favor with her by treating him so well.

Her current standing was undoubtedly far higher than in the original storyline.

"Didn’t I say I’d visit you more often? So here I am."

Su Luo had taken advantage of this lull in the action to come see Li Siyi.

Otherwise, he might forget his promise to her once he slipped back into his lazy ways.

"Hmph, now that you’re here, don’t expect to leave so easily."

Li Siyi locked onto Su Luo, grinning mischievously.

"Your expression is terrifying."

"What’s there to fear? This is my territory. I won’t let you escape."

"Fine, do whatever you want with me." Su Luo pretended to tremble in fear.

The onlookers averted their eyes—this couple’s antics were too much.

Hearing this, Li Siyi composed herself and chuckled, linking arms with Su Luo as she led him away.

The Seven Stars Sword Sect members tactfully ignored them, giving the pair their space.

This time, Li Siyi was alone with Su Luo—Nangong Xiyun and the others hadn’t followed.

Not one to waste such a rare opportunity, Li Siyi immediately began making plans.

She already had several ideas prepared, just waiting for Su Luo to show up.

First, they visited the Seven Stars Sword Sect’s largest trading hub, strolling and shopping together.

Neither of them actually needed anything there, but the enjoyment lay in the experience itself.

"Handsome lad, care for this thousand-year-old honey peach?"

Su Luo, wrapped head to toe in bandages, found the term "handsome lad" amusing—calling him "senior" would’ve been more sincere.

"How much?"

The thousand-year-old honey peach was a decent alchemy ingredient. Even eaten raw, it was delicious and beneficial to the body.

Though for someone of Su Luo’s cultivation level, it was little different from ordinary fruit.

"Ten spirit stones."

"Hey now, you’re missing a few zeros, aren’t you?"

There was no way such an item could be sold for just ten spirit stones.

"I sell based on fate. You and I are fated," the vendor said earnestly.

"Very well. Since it’s fate, I’ll take it."

Su Luo handed over exactly ten spirit stones—not a single one more.

The vendor, without hesitation, gave him the honey peach.

As they walked away, Su Luo remarked to Li Siyi, "Your influence is impressive. They’re going out of their way to please you."

Otherwise, why would they sell it to him for just ten spirit stones? Clearly, it was because of Li Siyi by his side.

"Or maybe they were selling it to you."

Among the core disciples, Su Luo’s standing now rivaled even Lin Xuan’s.

Many were eager for a chance to repay Su Luo’s selfless contributions.

"I’m just a nameless, faceless bandaged man. Why would they go out of their way for me?"

Neither physically nor metaphorically did he even have a face to speak of.

"Either way, it’s a steal. Let’s go." Li Siyi giggled, finding Su Luo’s obliviousness endearing.

"Want a bite?" Su Luo didn’t dwell on it, waving the honey peach teasingly.

Li Siyi leaned in and took a nibble. "Let’s share it."

"Sure."

They took turns eating, bite by bite.

Though the peach had no real effect on them, it certainly lifted their spirits.

Next stop—the forging hall.

Li Siyi wanted to craft something together with Su Luo.

Forging was child’s play for Su Luo—he could’ve done it alone—but he played along, letting Li Siyi take the lead while he assisted.

He even deliberately held back at times, allowing her to solve problems herself.

Li Siyi didn’t call him out either, instead playing along. "Ugh, why are you so clumsy? Let me handle it."

Su Luo, in turn, became the hype man.

"Wow, such skill! I had no idea you were this talented. Amazing—truly, you’re incredible at everything!"

Li Siyi basked in the praise, her ego thoroughly stroked.

Together, they forged a pendant—one designed to be split in two, beautiful both separately and when combined.

Li Siyi had planned the design herself.

Functionally, it was nothing special, paling in comparison to many other artifacts.

But Li Siyi adored it—this pendant bore the marks of their shared effort.

She fastened one half around Su Luo’s neck.

After admiring it, she declared, "It looks wonderful."

"Your turn." Su Luo did the same for her.

"Say it’s ugly, and I’ll hit you," Li Siyi teased.

"Of course it’s beautiful."

The two pendants suddenly levitated and merged into one.

At the same time, Li Siyi placed her hands on Su Luo’s shoulders and kissed him.
