These fairies want me to deal with them every day.

Lin Ruoyin then passed by the small courtyard where Su Mi lived.

Su Mi immediately stood up and said respectfully.

"Master..."

Jiang Ying also stood up and said, "Uncle Lin."

Lin Ruoyin simply nodded; she could smell the kitchen.

Her temperament is like a secluded orchid in a valley, or a cloud, making her unpredictable.

"The food is good; it doesn't seem to be cooked by someone from the mountains."

She simply said that.

Su Mi smiled and said shyly.

"It's Wei Tu..."

Lin Ruoyin frowned slightly.

"He's back?"

"Hmm... I just returned from the mortal realm, so we absolutely had to have a meal together. That's why I brought Senior Sister Jiang along... Master, would you like to try it? I swear, his cooking is the best I've ever tasted!"

Lin Ruoyin glanced into the kitchen from afar, and she could sense that the boy inside was also looking at her.

So she shook her head and said lightly and casually, "No need, you guys eat. Focus on your cultivation."

"Yes... then take care, Master..."

"Ah."

Lin Ruoyin's gaze left the kitchen and never returned; she walked straight through Su Mi's courtyard.

When Wei Tu brought the prepared food to the two of them.

Su Mi looked at the boy with some resentment.

"It's all your fault! Now even Master is lecturing me about needing to hurry up with my cultivation!"

Wei Tu looked at the girl who was trying to shift the blame with amusement.

"Isn't that because all the other senior and junior sisters are diligently cultivating, while you're the only one who sleeps until you naturally wake up and eats until your mouth cramps up?"

"No way!! My master has never said anything about me before! Every time I mention you to her, she scolds me! Isn't it because you're so annoying?"

Wei Tu touched his face and looked at Jiang Ying, who had been silent and hadn't touched her chopsticks.

"Senior sister, am I that ugly?"

Jiang Ying seemed to snap out of her daze at this moment, and subconsciously said something while looking into Wei Tu's smiling eyes.

"It's exactly the way I like it."

Su Miren, who was standing to the side, was dumbfounded.

Wasn't she supposed to be mute? How... does she know how to speak so well? PS: Another bonus chapter! Another bonus chapter!! You might not know, but I've already updated 130,000 words before the middle of the month!

53 The Empress's Letter

"So... the empress we saw back then was actually a puppet?"

They ate and chatted at the same time.

It was from Wei Tu that Su Mi learned that the empress Su Mi met in the Shang Kingdom during the sect trial was actually just a puppet.

"No wonder I said that empress... she's like an idiot, just talking to herself... she's not angry at all, I didn't expect she could have fooled us all." Su Mi muttered, seemingly still a little scared. If they had found out back then, it would have been a question whether they could have returned safely.

Wei Tu smiled.

"Those two Grand Preceptors are the best of the Witch Clan. They must have used the magic array to deceive you. I only found out about everything because I went from another direction. But I guess they didn't keep you there. Calling you over was probably just a cover-up, so you would go back and report to your sect that nothing happened, thus lowering the guard of the Immortal Continent."

"But you became the accident..."

Jiang Ying said this, clearly showing her keener awareness.

Wei Tu nodded.

"It was indeed an accident... but you never know, it might have been destined long ago."

Jiang Ying looked at her junior brother with some concern.

"Won't you be in danger? The witch people are fierce, cruel, treacherous, and cunning..."

Wei Tu shook his head.

"Their people are delusional if they want to enter the Immortal Continent. Besides, I'm not that stupid. Coming here would be a waste of my time. As for what will happen... I don't really know. I can only deal with whatever comes my way."

Wei Tu said this because he didn't want the two girls to worry too much about him. After all, he wasn't sure about these things himself, and they seemed to be vaguely involved in a huge conspiracy, or a shared background and secret between the Immortal Continent and the human world.

What Wei Tu feared even more and dared not say was that these things seemed to be vaguely related to his rebirth.

If rebirth is a coincidence, then it's all just my overthinking.

What I fear most is that my rebirth is not a coincidence, but rather driven by some force... In that case, I would have already become a pawn on the chessboard from the very beginning, without having to rack my brains, because I would already be deeply involved.

But Su Mi's eyes shifted.

"So you did manage to see the Empress after all?"

Wei Tu was taken aback for a moment, then nodded as if it were the most natural thing in the world.

"Of course... otherwise, how would that magic circle be broken..."

"Isn't it pretty?"

At this point, Wei Tu realized the other party's intention and was immediately stunned.

Turning his head, he saw that Jiang Ying was also staring intently at him.

Goodness, how did such a nice senior sister become so jealous?

Wei Tu said irritably.

"I've told you all so much, and you're not worried about my safety at all? You're just wondering who I ran into, right? Junior sister, what about the promise you made to me before?"

Su Mi, however, was not buying it; she knew this young man all too well.

She looked at the boy with a smile.

"Let's keep things separate. I assured you I trust you, but that doesn't mean I can't ask you anything, right? And I'm just asking such a simple question... Is it really necessary?"

"It's not that it's that serious, well, she... is quite good-looking."

"Oh? Not bad? How does it compare to me and Senior Sister Jiang Jiang?"

Then they got to the crucial point.

Wei Tu said matter-of-factly, "How could she possibly compare to my junior sister and senior sister? No matter how noble the empress of the mortal realm is... she can't compare to a fairy, right?"

This flattery was executed with remarkable skill.

Su Mi's expression improved after hearing this, as if she also felt that no matter how beautiful the empress was, she was still a mortal and would grow old and lose her beauty in a few decades.

Wei Tu was relieved that he hadn't told Su Mi about the other party's cultivation talent, otherwise he would have misunderstood again.

Unexpectedly, just after finishing lunch and cleaning up the mess, Wei Tu came out to find an extra person in the yard.

This person was none other than someone dressed in a white dress, exuding a noble and aloof air, yet the way they looked at me was so alluring and seductive.

Who else could it be but Ran Xinxue, the fairy sect leader?

"Sect Master, you've arrived...?"

Wei Tu had a bad feeling. This woman's appearance here on Xuejian Peak was not a good sign. She had never done anything like comforting disciples before. This initiative... there was no reason for her to be so attentive.

This woman will only become more cunning.

She spoke calmly, her voice tinged with the fresh snow.

"There is a letter for you. I couldn't find anyone to deliver it to you, so I came here in person."

When the other party said that, Wei Tu's heart skipped a beat.

Just by feeling, I could tell that the letter she was talking about definitely contained something unpleasant about her. This woman probably had already read it beforehand; she had no concept of morality or privacy, especially when it came to things about herself. She would feel guilty not to take a look at this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

Wei Tu frowned immediately, but could only speak politely and respectfully in front of Su Mi and Jiang Ying.

"It's just a letter, why bother the sect leader to deliver it personally... Sect leader, please give the letter to your disciple."

After saying that, he stepped forward.

Ran Xinxue took out a letter, held it between her two fingers, and said with a playful look in her eyes.

"Then I'll take it, oh dear..."

That "ouch" sounded so fake, even a pig could tell.

More importantly, Su Mi and Jiang Ying watched as the sealed letter slipped from Ran Xinxue's fingers, and at first, neither of them reacted.

After all, they weren't involved in the letter they sent to Wei Tu, and they respected the young man's desire not to pry into his privacy.

However, Ran Xinxue delivered a performance that was downright awful.

Sometimes it's not important whether the performance is good or not; the key is to touch people's hearts.

For example, the sentence "染新雪" (Ran Xin Xue) is emotionally exaggerated yet packed with information.

"Oh dear, pick it up quickly. Don't let this letter, which the Empress of the Great Shang Dynasty specially sent for you to open personally, get dirty..."

Good heavens, the Empress of the Great Shang Dynasty, specially, personally opened these keywords seemed to strike a chord with Su Mi.

The girl immediately picked up the letter without thinking of anything else.

Wei Tu paused for a moment, then immediately walked up, grasped the edge of the letter, and said with a smile.

"Thank you, junior sister. Here, give it to me. I'll keep it and look at it later."

Su Mi smiled and looked directly into Wei Tu's eyes.

"Why should I keep it? Wouldn't it be better for me to take a look for my senior brother?"

Wei Tu said softly.
