The group chatted directly until it was time for dinner.
During the meal, they seemed to have received some news, and two more high-level members of the Celestial Sword Sect arrived.
The Sword Dao concepts brought by Shi Yuezhu from Great Wei surprised the Celestial Sword Sect.
The clash of these two Sword Dao concepts seemed to be bearing some fruits.
For cultivators, talking through the night is actually common.
However, Shi Yuezhu was a guest, and guests surely need to rest.
Around 9:00 PM, they sensibly prepared to leave.
As for the resting place, Vice Sect Leader Yi Qi had already arranged it for Shen Han.
When returning to rest, Su Jinyu accompanied Shi Yuezhu, chatting as they walked.
She discussed how life was at the Celestial Sword Sect and the uses of various places.
Judging from this scene, the relationship between the two seemed to have significantly softened.
Shen Han, who couldn’t join the conversation, led the way ahead.
From time to time, he cast a pleading glance towards Su Jinyu.
Originally, Su Jinyu wanted to invite Shi Yuezhu to her courtyard to rest.
Direct disciples each have their own courtyard.
However, she understood Shen Han’s look.
After about a quarter of an hour, the three arrived at Shen Han’s small courtyard.
The courtyard was clean, likely just tidied up.
Located on the southeast side, it was the quietest area within the Celestial Sword Sect.
"It’s late, Peak Master... You should rest early..."
At the courtyard entrance, Su Jinyu said goodbye.
She could no longer call him "Master" any longer.
Upon hearing this, Shi Yuezhu also nodded.
Before leaving, Su Jinyu couldn’t help but turn her head to take a few more glances at Shen Han.
That look seemed to speak, as if Shen Han could even hear it.
Shi Yuezhu staying here was likely complete acknowledgment of Shen Han.
Su Jinyu knew Shen Han was outstanding, but still felt a bit perplexed seeing Shi Yuezhu together with him.
The person she was once engaged to was soon to become her senior.
Before parting, the former master and apprentice seemed to have some lingering affection for each other...
After Su Jinyu left, the courtyard only had the two of them.
Shi Yuezhu turned to look at Shen Han.
"What did you mean by those gestures to Jinyu just now?"
He hesitated upon hearing this.
"It didn’t mean anything..."
Shi Yuezhu’s mouth curled with a hint of small complaint: "If you don’t want to say, then leave it, it surely isn’t anything good."
"Between you and Su Jinyu..."
Upon hearing Shen Han mention Su Jinyu, Shi Yuezhu’s face lit up with a faint smile.
"Jinyu has matured, she no longer has that willful temper, she’s quite different from before."
"Alone out there, how could she be willful.
The cultivation in the Celestial Sword Sect is very severe; if one falls slightly behind, even as a direct disciple, the resources they can obtain will decrease.
She certainly can’t be as willful as before.
Without your pampering and protection, when everything relies on oneself, there is no right to be willful anymore."
"Perhaps I spoiled her too much before, instead becoming a burden to her..."
Upon hearing this, Shen Han thoughtfully nodded.
"I think that might truly be the case."
Shi Yuezhu: "..."
The night passed.
Early on, the servants of the Celestial Sword Sect brought breakfast.
After all, this wasn’t Moon Bamboo Peak, and one must be courteous when visiting elsewhere.
Last night, Shi Yuezhu and Shen Han stayed in the same courtyard, even the elders knew.
