Chapter 177 Do you think I care about this?
Li Nian blinked and glanced at his senior brother. The light in his eyes had disappeared, and his face looked even more haggard and confused.
She pursed her lips, but didn't say anything in the end. She just silently controlled the power of chaos to protect his true baby.
The two returned to the room on the third floor. Li Nian stood there without moving, with his head lowered.
Su Yu frowned and tapped the table with two fingers, "Li'er, come and sit down."
Li Nian raised her watery eyes slightly, glanced at Su Yu, and chose a place farthest away from him.
"Master, what do you want to talk to me about?"
Su Yu glanced at her indifferently, seeing the vigilance in the girl's eyes, and secretly laughed at himself. After all, she still didn't trust him, or rather, she had never trusted him.
"Li'er is so smart, why don't you think about it yourself?"
Li Nian was stunned for a moment, then pursed his lips. "Master, are you angry that I hid the knowledge of the Chaos Spirit from you?"
Su Yu looked down at her, his eyes obscure and unclear, like a deep pool.
Li Nian curled his lips, "Master knew about it but didn't tell me. I only found out from Ying Feihong. I was almost killed."
Su Yu raised his eyebrows. The little girl was angry, but he hadn't said anything yet.
"Angry? I was just guessing before, and only confirmed it a few days ago."
Li Nian was silent for a moment, then looked up at him, wanting to see his expression clearly. She also wanted to ask him what the relationship was between her and the ancient evil spirit.
But she really didn't dare to ask, for fear that the result would be unacceptable to her.
"No."
Li Nian didn't want to talk to him, so she just lay on the table with her watery eyes drooping.
Su Yu chuckled, stood up and sat next to the girl, patting her head. "It seems you are really angry. Why don't you ask me now, Li'er? I will tell you everything."
Li Nian blinked and snorted. She already knew too much of what she should know, and she couldn't ask what she didn't know.
"Don't ask anymore, it's boring."
A trace of surprise flashed across Su Yu's handsome face, and after a while he smiled helplessly, "He may not be that big, but he has a big temper."
He lowered his eyes and looked at Li Nian's furry head. "I've already given you a chance. If you don't ask, then it's my turn to ask."
Li Nian's eyelashes trembled slightly, and he turned his head to the other side, his voice a little muffled.
"Just ask." It's not certain whether he will tell the truth or not.
"Who helped you awaken the power of chaos?"
Li Nian blinked, "Tuan Tuan."
"When you were taken to the dungeon?"
Li Nian nodded and played with his fingers boredly. When he felt the coldness beside him, he paused and looked up at him in confusion.
Su Yu frowned. To awaken the power of chaos, he needed to meditate. He needed to use his soul to sense the illusory power of chaos between heaven and earth and connect it into his meridians.
The powerful and overbearing force of chaos will wash over the meridians again and again until the body can withstand and control it.
This process cannot be interrupted and the pain is unbearable for ordinary people.
"Why choose that time? If it's interrupted, do you know what will happen?" Su Yu said
Li Nian tilted his head, "But I had no choice at that time. Once I woke up, even if someone else took control of my body, it would only be a lose-lose situation unless I was willing."
Su Yu paused his fingertips and looked down at her, "Does it hurt?" He knew that girls were always afraid of pain.
Li Nian was stunned, a hint of surprise flashed in his watery eyes, "It hurt a lot at first, but after a while I got used to it."
Su Yu unconsciously clenched his fingers into fists. The girl's words were like sharp swords, piercing into his heart and making his breathing stop.
"Li'er, sometimes you don't have to be so strong. You can... ask your master for help." His voice was slightly hoarse.
Li Nian pursed his lips and smiled, "But Master has a heavy responsibility to protect the peace of several regions. How can I hinder Master?"
The girl's eyes were as clear as crystal, transparent and clean. Although she was only in her teens, she was so sensible that it made people feel distressed.
He is gifted and has a higher level of cultivation than his peers. The higher the talent, the more responsibilities he needs to bear. He understands the feeling best.
Su Yu's fingertips trembled slightly, and his glass-like eyes were filled with complex emotions, including heartache, self-blame, and guilt, mixed together, making his throat feel sour.
He turned his head and looked away, afraid that Li Nian would notice something wrong in his eyes.
"Last but one, how did you achieve the Divine Transformation level that day?"
Li Nian almost bit her tongue when she heard that. Her eyes rolled around, "It's a talisman I drew."
Su Yu's brows furrowed instantly, "What talisman?"
“…The Divine Transformation Talisman.”
"Be more specific. Don't hide anything." He said in a deep voice.
When Li Nian saw his serious look, he felt inexplicably guilty, although he didn't know what he was feeling guilty about.
"The user will have twelve hours of Spiritual Transformation cultivation, without...any side effects."
Su Yu lowered his eyes and glanced at Li Nian. The girl's eyes rolled around and her eyelids drooped. She didn't dare to look at him. It was obvious that she was feeling extremely guilty.
He had rarely heard of this kind of talisman, but there was no such thing as a free lunch in the world of cultivation, so this talisman was definitely not that easy to use.
He tapped the table with two fingers, looked at Li Nian calmly, and opened his thin lips slightly, "If there are no side effects, then what is the price?"
Li Nian felt a chill all over her body. In such an atmosphere, she swallowed her saliva and tried to get away with it, then she heard him say -
"To be honest, you know it's only a matter of time before I find out."
Li Nian shrank his head, gritted his teeth, and said in a whisper as soft as a mosquito, "It will... cost a hundred years of life."
Li Nian's voice was very soft, but Su Yu, who had sharp ears and eyes, knew how to hear it clearly. The knocking sound on the table stopped immediately and the room fell into silence.
Li Nian could feel the gaze as if it were real falling on her. She moved her feet, the hair on her body was about to stand on end, and she just wanted to escape from here.
"What did you say?!"
His voice was angry and harsh, and so cold that it had no warmth at all, which frightened her so much that she shivered for no reason.
"Master, I..."
Just as she was about to explain, her chin was suddenly pinched by a hand, forcing her to look up. When she met his cold eyes, a fear surged in Li Nian's heart.
Su Yu tried his best to suppress the anger in his heart, but the hand that was pinching the girl's chin was trembling slightly, and his eyes were very deep.
"That's a forbidden talisman, how dare you?"
Li Nian was stunned, his jaw felt like it was about to be twisted off. Su Yu never showed his emotions on his face, this was the first time he saw him angry.
"Master, I... used the forbidden talisman to save people, not to satisfy my own selfish desires." She said with some difficulty.
Su Yu's heart ached with anger, his eyes as cold as a thousand-year-old ice, "Do you think I care about this?!"
Li Nian was stunned, and what happened that night emerged in her mind. Her eyelashes trembled slightly, and she lowered her eyes to avoid the man's gaze.
"Master... please let me go, it hurts..."
