Fairy, you call this repaying a debt of gratitude?

While Anhe went to look for the ruler, Shen Wei took out a clean black robe from his storage ring and quickly changed into it.

As a wandering cultivator, how could he possibly only have one set of clothes?

A moment later, Anhe returned with a measuring tape. She pushed open the door and saw that Shen Wei was already dressed. She was slightly taken aback, and a hint of surprise flashed in her eyes. She quickly composed herself and stepped forward to measure his body size step by step.

Then he took out paper and pen and carefully wrote down the measurements such as shoulder width and sleeve length.

Before Shen Wei left, An He brought him a bowl of prepared herbal medicine and handed it to him, gently reminding him that this was the medicine that Qin Yunshang had repeatedly instructed him to take.

He took the medicine bowl and drank it all in one gulp. The medicine was slightly bitter but had a mild aftereffect, which seemed to be a good remedy for treating internal injuries and stabilizing spiritual power.

He stretched in front of the guest room. The weather was lovely today, and the long-awaited sunshine made him feel a little lightheaded.

He looked around and indeed found himself in the Wen residence, where the scenery remained elegant and serene.

In the pavilion not far away, he could faintly hear the sound of conversation. He could tell that Wen Yutang was talking, but the other voice was barely audible, or perhaps it hadn't spoken at all.

Shen Wei followed the sound slowly.

As you approach, you'll see Wen Yutang pulling Ye Qingci along inside the pavilion, seemingly chatting away about something.

The two noticed footsteps behind them at the same time and turned around simultaneously, but Wen Yutang's reaction was more enthusiastic.

"Master Shen, you're awake!"

Ye Qingci merely glanced at him indifferently before looking away. She gently raised her hand, slowly picked up her teacup, took a sip, and remained composed.

"Um."

Shen Wei responded softly, stepped into the pavilion, and sat down next to Wen Yutang, with Ye Qingci directly opposite him.

Wen Yutang's round eyes darted around. "Master Shen... who is Miss Qin to you? Why would she let you stay in her guest room and take such good care of you?"

"She is his fiancée."

Before Shen Wei could speak, Ye Qingci gently put down her teacup and said calmly.

How could Ye Qingci know about this? Could it be that Qin Yunshang told her? Why would she tell Ye Qingci these things?

Upon hearing this, Wen Yutang covered her mouth, looking incredulous. "Miss Qin is your fiancée, so how could you...?"

She swallowed the rest of her sentence, but Shen Wei could roughly guess what she meant: how could he, Qin Yunshang's fiancé, be a wandering cultivator roaming the martial world alone?

After all, in her opinion, the fiancé of a noble lady from a prominent family in the capital should also be a young master from a family of equal social standing.

Actually, this way of thinking isn't wrong. Shen Wei was indeed a young master from a prominent family in the past, but things are different now.

"She's my ex-fiancée."

But Shen Wei is no longer a scion of a prominent family, so he is prepared to unilaterally break the contract.

Okay, actually no. The engagement was made when they were sixteen, but Shen Wei is almost twenty now, so the engagement is obviously invalid.

"Ex-fiancée..."

Wen Yutang's eyes lit up, as if she had thought of something incredible, and her tone instantly became excited.

"Could it be that you, Young Hero Shen, were jilted by the Qin family, which is why you harbor resentment and wander alone in arduous cultivation, hoping to take revenge someday?"

Shen Wei gently tapped Wen Yutang's head, and Wen Yutang let out an "ouch," her performance quite convincing.

"Read less of those kinds of storybooks; reading too much will ruin your brain."

He paused, then changed the subject, "Let's not talk about this now. Why am I here?"

Ye Qingci remained silent, simply drinking cup after cup of tea.

Shen Wei was puzzled, wondering what was so special about this ordinary tea that made Ye Qingci drink it cup after cup, so he also raised his hand and poured himself a cup.

The taste was bland and unremarkable. However, since it was tea from the Wen family, it must have been extremely precious. But the taste was really bland.

"My brother told me that after you asked him to leave first, he was always worried about you, but he never saw you again, so he went back to look for you and finally saw Fairy Ye carrying you, who was unconscious."

"Did you carry me back?"

Shen Wei gave Ye Qingci a strange look.

"If I hadn't carried you back, you would probably be lying dead in the ruins by now, and you wouldn't have the leisure to sit here and drink tea."

Her expression remained unchanged; she simply took a sip of tea silently.

"It's not that serious, is it?" Shen Wei retorted instinctively.

"have."

Ye Qingci's tone was crisp and certain, instantly leaving Shen Wei speechless.

"So, the person that Master Shen has been escorting all along is actually Fairy Ye."

"Hmm, you wouldn't use her to solicit rewards, would you?"

"How could that be! Fairy Ye is the person I admire most, and she is the goal I have always wanted to catch up with on my cultivation path."

She clenched her fist and paused.

"Moreover, I have seen through the ugly face of the immortal sects. I have now decided that being hunted down by one of the five major immortal sects will be one of my lifelong pursuits."

Upon hearing this, Shen Wei was speechless and glanced at Ye Qingci without making a sound.

Perhaps because Wen Yutang had been flattering Ye Qingci the whole time while Shen Wei was away, Ye Qingci seemed to have become immune to such compliments.

Their eyes met, and Shen Wei hurriedly looked away.

For some reason, after Ye Qingci's cultivation was restored, Shen Wei always felt that Ye Qingci's already sharp eyes became even clearer and more transparent.

For example, right now, Ye Qingci is staring at him, and he feels like his underwear is about to be seen through.

"Fairy Ye, why are you staring at me?"

Hearing this, Ye Qingci finally put down her teacup, looked up at him, and said bluntly, "Didn't you take a liking to me? Then you should be happy that I've been staring at you all this time."

Shen Wei was speechless, remembering what he had said a few days ago. Feeling somewhat embarrassed, he finally only mumbled a reply:

"I'm quite happy..."

"There's something strange about the way you two talk..."

Wen Yutang whispered something to the side, but no one responded to her question.

For the rest of the day, Shen Wei and Ye Qingci remained silent, simply drinking their tea. Only when Wen Yutang occasionally asked about trivial matters would the two casually offer a few words.

After an unknown amount of time, Qin Yunshang arrived quickly, carrying a piece of fabric.

"Miss Wen, Fairy Ye."

She gave a slight bow, showing impeccable manners, and the two men nodded slightly in response.

She then looked at Shen Wei, seemingly somewhat displeased that he was sitting in the pavilion leisurely chatting and drinking tea with the other two people.

"Where did you get these clothes? And you've only just woken up from a coma, your injuries haven't healed yet, and you're already getting out of bed and walking around like this?"

Shen Wei selectively ignored certain questions, looked up at her, and asked casually.

"Oh... I've been unconscious for several days?"

"It should take about two days."

Upon hearing this, Shen Wei immediately began to examine his own cultivation level.

The evil dragon within its dantian exuded a powerful aura and appeared energetic. The demonic core within the dantian was nowhere to be seen, presumably having been completely absorbed by it.

No wonder he felt full of energy and his meridians were completely unobstructed.

Hmm... his cultivation level has also increased significantly; he is now at the mid-stage of the Nascent Soul realm.

Seeing him lost in thought, Qin Yunshang's tone became even more indignant: "What are you thinking about?"

Shen Wei snapped out of his daze and looked at Qin Yunshang in front of him.

"I wonder who could be so understanding and take such good care of me during the two days I was unconscious."

Qin Yunshang glared at him, her fair face flushing red again. "You smooth talker... Come with me, I have something important to tell you."

"You can't take him with you; I still have questions for him."

Ye Qingci spoke coldly.
