These fairies want me to deal with them every day.

Wei Tu was indeed having a headache.

Convincing Lu Qingyan will always be a huge challenge.

On this day, Wei Tu put away the last book, closed it, and placed it in its original place among a pile of ancient books.

"Wei Tu".

But suddenly someone called out his name.

Wei Tu had actually sensed the presence of this person long ago, even from the second day after he arrived until today.

However, the other party never revealed their true appearance, and Wei Tu thought that the other party was planning to observe him, so he did not try to find out the other party's intentions.

He didn't really care who was observing him. Nobody knew what he was going to do, and he was just waiting for the other party to finally lose their temper.

I really can't hold back anymore.

Wei Tu turned his head and saw a woman in a long white dress that almost dragged on the ground standing in the sunlight through the window of the Sutra Repository.

The warm sunlight contrasted sharply with her aloof demeanor, creating an almost jarring effect.

It's more like irony; at least in Wei Tu's memory, this woman should be ironically mocked.

However, if she just stood there like that, she really did have a certain air about her: graceful and virtuous demeanor, delicate skin and well-proportioned figure.

"metropolitan……"

What Wei Tu saw was Ran Xinxue, the youngest sect leader of the Yuanjian Sect.

This woman is quite legendary. She is said to be a disciple personally brought back by the patriarch of the Yuanjian Sect. For the first eighteen years, she cultivated alone and had no contact with anyone. However, after the age of twenty, she quickly rose to a higher position, directly from disciple to elder, and at the age of twenty-four, she successfully became the sect leader of the Yuanjian Sect.

Although this matter provoked protests from many elders of the Yuanjian Sect, the sect's patriarch overruled all objections and successfully made the woman the sect leader.

However, what shocked everyone next was that although this woman was young, she made the Yuanjian Sect more and more powerful. After promoting Lu Qingyan to the position of elder of Xiaoyuan Peak, she used Lu Qingyan's reputation on the Dragon Slaying Ranking to make the Yuanjian Sect a very prominent sect among the five immortal continents.

Furthermore, she increased her connections with other sects and handled sect affairs in an orderly manner, which made people admire her skill and maturity.

But it was she who had been observing him all these days?

Ran Xinxue looked at the boy who seemed puzzled for a moment but quickly calmed down, and raised her long, fair neck.

You've been very diligent lately.

This statement was tantamount to telling Wei Tu that she had been paying attention to the other person these past few days.

It seems that saying such words to any young disciple would make them feel flattered.

And she's the sect leader, a young, beautiful, fairy-like figure. How could this not stir the heart and make a naive young man's mind wander?

Wei Tu smiled slightly and looked directly into the woman's cold eyes.

"Fortunately, I can't stand the monotony of sword practice all the time."

Ran Xinxue's gaze calmly swept over the spot where Wei Tu had just returned the book, showing no concern that Wei Tu might discover her intention to find out which book he had been reading.

At the same time, she slightly parted her lips.

"How could practicing swordsmanship be boring with a master like Lu Qingyan by your side?"

Ran Xinxue smiled and then looked at the handsome young man.

Wei Tu suddenly smiled brightly, squinting her eyes and looking at Ran Xinxue with a puzzled expression.

"What does the sect leader mean? This disciple doesn't quite understand..."

Ran Xinxue may have had some other expectations for this handsome young man, but she had no fear of him at all.

"How old is Lu Qingyan this year... Is she even thirty? No, right? So young... and she has no Daoist partner, or rather, she's never had one. She has extremely high talent, yet she only has two disciples. Jiang Ying is almost at the Dragon Slaying Realm, so she's naturally a promising talent, but what about you..."

Wei Tu remained amiable and obedient.

"Is it possible that the disciple is... exceptionally filial?"

Ran Xinxue's usually indifferent eyes and brows blossomed into a smile.

Her fair fingertips lightly brushed over the nonexistent folds in her dress.

Her fingers were like scallion roots, her lips like vermilion... but in Wei Tu's eyes, she was nothing more than a thorny, even poisonous, evil flower.

"Filial piety...maybe, but I think your only redeeming quality is your appearance. Anyone can be filial, right? But Lu Qingyan probably just wants to keep your good looks, even if you're not talented, they can still quench her thirst, right?"

"Ah... I actually think that what Master said makes a lot of sense."

Wei Tu's reaction exceeded Ran Xinxue's expectations.

He thought the other person would be angered by him, but it seemed that he wasn't; he just smiled as if he had heard a funny joke.

"Really? That might be true."

The newly fallen snow squinted its eyes.

Wei Tu nodded, his hands hanging down naturally without clenching his fist.

Sunlight covered his shoulders, which were covered in fresh snow, and his gaze fell upon them.

Deep and bright.

"Even if it's true, what's the use of the sect leader saying all this? Is it because the sect leader came specifically to find his disciples?"

Ran Xinxue looked at the unhurried, surprisingly composed young man.

"Actually, I'm giving you a chance."

"Chance?"

"What Lu Qingyan can teach, I can teach too. Would you like to become my disciple? Perhaps you'll be surprised by the results."

At that moment, Ran Xinxue saw the boy's smile, which was as warm as the bright sunshine outside.

Whether he agrees or not is actually not important to Ran Xinxue.

This suggestion was made on a whim, and it can be considered a small test.

However, seeing his smile, Ran Xinxue suddenly felt... that it might not be bad if it really worked out, at least it would be pleasing to the eye.

Just like a man who likes to keep vases, collecting them as if they were pleasing to the eye... He had never had such an experience before, but here he suddenly felt a flutter in his heart.

But what she heard was completely different from what she expected.

"Sect Master, I'm too old, I'm afraid you can't tolerate me."

... PS: There's nothing good to post, I'll definitely get scolded if I do, so forget it, I'll just write quietly, plainly, as always.

16. Does Senior Brother only behave when he doesn't move at all?

"……What did you say?"

Ran Xinxue thought she had misheard.

However, it seems that mishearing one or two words does not affect the meaning of the sentence at all.

She wasn't very embarrassed.

I even felt an indescribable anger.

Who can't understand the meaning of that sentence? She's not some ignorant thirteen or fourteen-year-old girl. Although she may lack experience in this area for some reason, she's still seen the world even if she hasn't eaten pork.

Saying such things is not just teasing, it's an insult.

"Splash!"

Inside the spacious second floor of the library, the books that had been lying there peacefully suddenly began to turn.

It felt like countless people were flipping through a book all of a sudden.

Under the sunlight, her newly dyed, jet-black hair fluttered and reflected the light.

Her face was still smiling, and her eyes seemed to be filled with laughter.

Wei Tu understood that she had murderous intent. This was not surprising, as how could this woman, who was seen as pure and innocent by all the disciples of the mountain gate, tolerate such humiliation?

The boy, who was only at the Fusion Realm, seemed completely unafraid and continued speaking with a smile.

"Sect Master, aren't we having a nice chat? Don't get angry... If word gets out, outsiders won't know what's going on and will gossip."

Ran Xinxue sneered and said, enunciating each word clearly, "Why should I care what others say when I'm dealing with you?"

"Of course, I'm so good-looking and young, and you, Sect Master, are so beautiful and so old, yet you still don't have a Daoist partner. There will always be some strange rumors about that."

"Hehe, what?"

"Wei Tu is young and vigorous, and the sect leader is like a long-awaited rain after a drought... that doesn't sound very good."

"Wei Tu, do you really think I wouldn't dare to kill you?"

Ran Xinxue's eyes were practically revealing her true intentions.

Wei Tu calmly raised his head and responded with a deep gaze.

"Sect Master, if you respect me, I will respect you. I think even a fool could understand what you said before. You can't stand me teasing you a bit... Or is it that with so many people treating you like a pure and innocent fairy, you've really fallen into the role?"

"Wei Tu!"

Ran Xinxue clenched her fists, and Wei Tu even seemed to hear the sound of the bookshelf next to her cracking.

Cracks appeared in the floor tiles beneath her feet, radiating outwards from the center of her feet.

Well, thankfully, it didn't crack on its own.

But the aura had already enveloped him.

The aura of the newly dyed snow exerted a powerful pressure on him, almost suppressing the flow of his meridians, making him feel as if he couldn't breathe and was about to be crushed.

Wei Tu's expression remained calm, even revealing a faint, mocking smile.

"Sect Master, you mustn't make a move. Making a move would mean you've lost your temper."

"A person like you is a disgrace to the sect. Why can't I personally eliminate you from the sect?"

"Because I am Lu Qingyan's disciple, wouldn't this affect the relationship between the sect and Xiaoyuan Peak?"

"you……"

Ran Xinxue found this boy utterly despicable, even with such a handsome appearance.
