Su Luo was still lazing around, basking in the sun with Xiao Pa.
Xiao Pa had also grown lazy, disliking going out and instead becoming more and more fond of these quiet, peaceful days.
"Su Luo, I'm going out," Yun suddenly said.
"You don't need to report every little thing to me," Su Luo replied.
Yun didn’t need to inform him about every single matter anymore.
"I was thinking if I should tidy up a bit. If you get angry later, these things might suffer."
"Nonsense, why would I get angry? And even if I did, I wouldn’t smash things. Who’s going to compensate for the loss?"
"Well, then promise me you won’t get mad later, okay?"
"Of course not. What are you up to?"
Su Luo definitely wouldn’t agree. It was clearly a trap.
"I didn’t expect it to turn out this way either. Just wait, I’ll be back soon."
"What’s going on? Just tell me!"
But Yun had already dashed off.
What could possibly make me angry?
Su Luo couldn’t think of anything. He had seen it all.
He continued to bask in the sun with Xiao Pa, ignoring Yun for now.
Meanwhile, Yun had stepped outside the Heavenly Demon Sect. Approaching her was Little Yu.
"I didn’t think you’d really come," Yun said.
Nangong Xiyun had already received a message from the Sect Leader. When Little Yu had asked about the location of the Heavenly Demon Sect, Yun had thought it would be a long time before Little Yu actually came.
But here she was, just a few days later.
"Thank you for telling me about this place," Little Yu said.
"I didn’t think you’d actually come here. I don’t even know how Su Luo is going to punish me later."
"It’s not your fault. I’ll explain it to Su Luo."
"That’s not up to you. This is the hardship of being a subordinate. And I bear a lot of responsibility too. Without me telling you the location, you’d never have found this place."
"I’m sorry. I’ll bear all the consequences," Little Yu said, feeling deeply apologetic toward Yun.
"You’re really kind. I’ll take you to see Su Luo now."
Soon, Yun brought Little Yu to Su Luo’s residence.
"Wait here for a moment," Yun said.
Little Yu nodded.
Yun opened the door slightly and poked her head in. "Su Luo?"
"Back so soon?"
"Yeah, I messed up."
"What happened? I’ll help you fix it."
"Su Luo, you’re so good to me. It makes me feel even more guilty."
"So, what’s the matter?"
Yun opened the door fully, and Little Yu came into Su Luo’s view.
Yun had thought about saying more to prepare Su Luo, but in the end, she decided to just wait for the scolding.
Little Yu stepped inside and stood before Su Luo.
"What are you doing here?!" Su Luo immediately sprang up from his chair.
"I... I came to see you."
Though Little Yu was happy to see Su Luo, it was too early to celebrate.
She knew Su Luo wouldn’t be pleased right now, and it would be annoying if only she was happy.
She’d wait until Su Luo finished scolding her before she could be happy.
"What’s going on? Did anyone see you?"
"Probably not."
"That’s good. Since you’re here, stay for a few days and then go back."
Yun chimed in, "Well, going back might be a bit difficult now."
"What do you mean?"
Su Luo hadn’t been paying much attention to outside matters, but Yun had.
So she explained Little Yu’s current situation.
In short, Little Yu had betrayed the Seven Stars Sword Sect, stolen their sacred sword, the Seven Stars Sword, and injured her fellow disciples.
Now she had defected to the Heavenly Demon Sect.
After hearing this, Su Luo felt his vision darken. It would be hard to fix this.
Everything sounded like a lie. How could Little Yu do such a thing?
Su Luo couldn’t understand why the Sect Leader would allow this.
"Did the Sect Leader agree to this?"
"Yes, he agreed."
"He agreed? Why?"
"He said with you here, he’s at ease."
The Sect Leader had considered giving Little Yu a new identity, but given her personality, he decided against it.
If she accidentally revealed her identity, like using the Seven Stars Unity technique, it would cause trouble and even implicate Su Luo.
"That’s so irresponsible." Though Su Luo wouldn’t let Little Yu suffer here.
"I’m sorry. It’s all my fault. No one else is to blame," Little Yu said, bowing her head and apologizing sincerely.
Su Luo was silent for a long time before finally letting out a sigh.
"Fine, since you’re here, we’ll make do."
"You’re not angry?"
"I thought I would be, but I can’t bring myself to be mad at you."
"Hehe." Little Yu finally smiled and hugged Su Luo.
"Still laughing."
"You said people should live for themselves..."
"I didn’t mean for you to do this," Su Luo interrupted.
What, trying to use my words to shift the blame?
But Little Yu was still happy. If Su Luo wasn’t angry at first, as long as she didn’t say anything outrageous later, he probably wouldn’t get too mad.
"Yun."
"Yes."
"You led the way?"
Thinking about it, Little Yu couldn’t have come here alone.
"Yes."
Not only had Yun led the way, but she had also been the one to introduce Little Yu to the Heavenly Demon Sect.
Without connections, it was nearly impossible for an ordinary person to join the Heavenly Demon Sect. But as Su Luo’s trusted subordinate, Yun had the authority.
"You really know how to handle things."
"Not really."
"I’m punishing you with closed-door cultivation. You’re not allowed out until you break through."
"No problem."
This was easy. She’d just work on it later.
Su Luo was puzzled. She agreed so quickly? Was his punishment too lenient?
"Su Luo, it’s all my fault..." Little Yu didn’t want Yun to be implicated.
"Enough. Such a big matter, and you didn’t discuss it with me. She deserves the punishment."
"Yeah, she deserves it." Yun immediately went off to start her breakthrough.
She left so quickly that Su Luo didn’t even have time to reconsider.
"Since you’re here, do as you please. But let me warn you, life in the Heavenly Demon Sect isn’t easy. It’s just as monotonous."
"That’s fine, as long as I’m with you."
Little Yu was truly grateful for everyone’s help along the way—the Sect Leader, Yun, Li Siyi, Lin Xuan...
They were all good people.
The next day, Yun broke through and returned, grinning as usual, to Su Luo’s side.
Su Luo had nothing to say and simply assigned her to train Xiao Pa, to make him stronger.
What kind of strength do you have to lie around with me?
The truth was, Su Luo’s strength had already reached the Void Refining stage, and he was very confident.
He couldn’t say he could stomp the Four Heavenly Demons or defeat the Left and Right Protectors, but he could at least hold his own for a few moves.
So Little Yu’s arrival wasn’t a big issue. If anything happened, Su Luo could handle it with his strength.
