A Sorrowful Turn

"Elder, Brother Su is only doing this for the good of the Silent Sect, please don't be angry."

"Just think of it as taking a break for now. Actually, it's good for you. You're usually very busy, so it's wonderful to be able to rest now."

Although Liu Yanyan was somewhat dissatisfied with the Grand Elder's previous defense of the Sect Master of Proud Sword Sect, the Grand Elder had also given her guidance in cultivation, and she was still grateful to him. Therefore, she did not want the Grand Elder to be too angry at the moment.

Upon hearing this, the First Elder spoke coldly, his gaze towards Liu Yanyan turning icy.

But then he seemed to realize he shouldn't have acted that way, and after noticing the shock in Liu Yanyan's expression, he quickly composed himself and sighed.

"Fine, fine, I'll do as you say. Consider it a rest."

"Actually, I'm not angry with Fellow Daoist Su. I just feel that it's truly disheartening and saddening that I would be suspected of being detrimental to the Silent Sect. However, I believe that you will eventually discover my innocence."

"I am utterly loyal to the Silent Sect and would never do anything to the Silent Sect."

Liu Yanyan nodded.

"I also hope it's a misunderstanding, Elder, let's go."

The Grand Elder followed Su Zhan and Liu Yanyan at a slow pace, clearly not cooperating much. But Su Zhan wasn't in a hurry; he slowed down as well, taking his time to appreciate the scenery of the Silent Sect.

Actually, the scenery at the Silent Sect is quite beautiful, but many people wanted to ask him about Shi Yun'er, so he didn't go out. Otherwise, he would have explored the Silent Sect long ago, and wouldn't have only now discovered this breathtaking scenery.

The Grand Elder had no other means of resistance at the moment and could only walk slowly. Seeing Su Zhan's leisurely stroll, he was immediately furious and quickened his pace. Su Zhan was not angry and quickened his pace to keep up, as did Liu Yanyan.

The Grand Elder walked into the courtyard, turned to look at Su Zhan and Liu Yanyan, and was about to say something when Su Zhan activated the Great Formation.

The inside and outside were instantly isolated. What was outside could not be clearly seen from the inside. In fact, it was also unclear from the outside. However, as the controller of this formation, Su Zhan could naturally control it. Therefore, Su Zhan could see inside, but those inside could not see outside.

The Elder's expression twisted for a moment, but he seemed to quickly realize that Su Zhan could see his every move clearly, so he immediately composed himself and turned to walk towards the Bamboo Tower.

Even inside the Bamboo Tower, he couldn't relax; his entire face was tense.

After looking around, they found nothing left by Su Zhan, indicating that he was a very cautious person and did not intend to stay here indefinitely.

At the same time.

Outside the courtyard.

Liu Yanyan looked at Su Zhan.

"Could it really be the Grand Elder?"

"You don't want to be the Grand Elder?"

"Um."

"I don't know if he did it, but I suspect his relationship with the Sect Master of Proud Sword Sect is not simple. Of course, I can't prove it now, and you probably don't want it to be true either, do you?"

"Yes."

"Perhaps you'll be disappointed in this respect."

"Well."

Liu Yanyan, reluctant to live, sighed and followed Su Zhan away.

Actually, Su Zhan had nowhere to go, but Liu Yanyan naturally wouldn't be coquettish and tried her best to invite Su Zhan to her place.

Although Su Zhan thought Liu Yanyan talked too much nonsense, he did not refuse.

Sure enough, as soon as Liu Yanyan sat down, she launched into a long string of rambling words, all expressions of gratitude.

I've held back for a long time, and it wasn't convenient to say it at the Medicine King Grand Gathering, but now I naturally want to express my heartfelt gratitude.
