These fairies want me to deal with them every day.

Almost every sentence hit the nail on the head.

The killing intent was indeed because the other party had angered her, and she was well aware that if she really eliminated him, it would definitely cause Lu Qingyan's dissatisfaction. At present, Yuanjian Sect could not get rid of Xiaoyuan Peak's support, or at least Lu Qingyan's support.

Just as Ran Xinxue was struggling with this dilemma—"Senior brother~"

A voice suddenly appeared, disrupting the tense atmosphere.

Almost instantly, Ran Xinxue withdrew all the aura that had been suppressing Wei Tu.

"Huh? This... Sect Master, you're here too?"

Su Mi's innocent and romantic figure appeared next to the bookshelf where the two were standing.

Wei Tu reached out and smoothed the slightly disheveled corner of his clothes.

Then, Ran Xinxue calmly turned around and looked at Su Mi.

"There are some things I can discuss with your senior brother."

"is it?"

Su Mi blinked. She clearly didn't know why the two of them were talking here. She just glared at the boy when she looked at Wei Tu.

Wei Tu chuckled to himself.

After those twenty years, Wei Tu was sensitive to even a glance from Su Mi, and of course he could tell what she was thinking.

It's just that it can't be explained right now.

Ran Xinxue nodded.

"Of course, in a while, young disciples from Lu Chen Sect will come to our sect to exchange sword techniques."

Su Mi was taken aback. "Does this have anything to do with my senior brother?"

"Of course." Ran Xinxue seemed to have thought of something, and smiled with satisfaction, as if she couldn't wait for some wicked idea to be realized. She continued, "Your senior brother did very well in the sect's minor competition. I plan to train him a bit and give him a chance to bring glory to the sect."

Su Mi immediately asked worriedly, "Will Senior Brother be in danger?"

Wei Tu was both amused and exasperated. This girl was too easily fooled. Didn't she realize that this wicked woman wanted to put her in danger?

However, he didn't intend to refuse outright; he knew that this was exactly the kind of opportunity he needed for that purpose.

Some things you really have to do to be cool, and you have to really put on a show!

Ran Xinxue revealed a cold smile. Why was the smile cold? It was because everyone could see that there was no emotion in it; it was all insincerity.

"Of course not, it's just normal communication between sects. It's actually a good opportunity for your senior brother. If he performs well, he can be given special training."

"That's wonderful! Thank you so much, Sect Master!"

"Well, just wait and see, Wei Tu, did you hear that?"

Standing to the side, Wei Tu seemed to have something difficult to say, and then nodded helplessly.

"Sect Master, I heard you."

"Ah."

Ran Xinxue left just like that.

She didn't care what the two people inside were going to say next; she just felt that this wasn't enough to vent her anger.

On what grounds?

As the head of a sect, how dare Lu Qingyan, a third-rate disciple, provoke him like this?

If they were more capable, they would be the perfect candidate.

But if it's at that level... she has countless ways to ruin his reputation, or even kill him!

So she returned to the Baoguang Hall and waited patiently.

Until the door opened and closed very slightly.

A deep, hoarse voice appeared.

The man's face was obscured by extremely long and messy hair, making him look disheveled and unkempt.

What do you want from me?

Ran Xinxue gave the man a disdainful look.

"You still can't forget her after all these years?"

Such a simple sentence seemed to have caused the man a great shock.

He clenched his fists so tightly that his body trembled involuntarily.

"Just thinking about her... makes me want to tear her apart! All of this should have been mine... all of it should have been mine! I want to strip her naked and play with her to death in front of all the disciples of the sect to vent my hatred!"

"Very good, your chance has come."

Ran Xinxue didn't care what he said; as long as his hatred remained, that was enough.

"Chance?"

Ran Xinxue smiled and nodded.

"Yes, but not now, it will be some time later. She has a very beloved apprentice..."

-

"Senior brother, have you offended the sect leader?"

As soon as he stepped out of the Sutra Repository, Su Mi couldn't wait to ask.

Wei Tu was stunned for a moment, then looked at Su Mi calmly.

"Why would you say that? You were just thanking her."

Su Mi sighed helplessly, standing there looking at the boy with some embarrassment and annoyance.

"With your current cultivation level, how could the sect leader possibly look up to you? Sending you to this kind of inter-sect competition is just to embarrass you, isn't it?"

Wei Tu was somewhat surprised by the girl's sensitive nature. He did know that Su Mi was not stupid, but he only found out later. He didn't expect her to have always been so smart.

"If that's the case, what do you plan to do?"

Su Mi waved her little pink fist at Wei Tu.

"Let's beat up our senior brother first!"

"That's too cruel!"

"Of course! How did you offend the sect leader? Why don't you tell me honestly?"

This is why Su Mi glared at Wei Tu earlier. As the head of a sect, Ran Xinxue could simply summon a disciple if she wanted to discuss something.

Why bother coming all the way to the library to find him?

There must be some unspeakable secret!

When Su Mi saw it, her IQ was already skyrocketing due to her jealousy.

It turned out to be a pretty accurate guess.

Wei Tu gave a wry smile.

"It's not what you're thinking... I just happened to run into it..."

"You still won't tell the truth... I hate you, senior brother, I'm really angry."

Su Mi's eyes were fixed on Wei Tu.

Unable to bear Su Mi's gaze, Wei Tu recounted, incomplete details, what had happened in the Scripture Pavilion.

The most crucial point was not mentioned.

Su Mi sighed helplessly, her expression a little girl trying to look mature for her age.

"Senior brother... how could you offend the sect leader?"

Indeed, it seems unnecessary.

But Wei Tu knew that he had to intensify the woman's hatred for him in the little time he had left.

This is something that absolutely must be done.

Wei Tu didn't explain, but instead smiled and looked at Su Mi.

"Alright, I'll go apologize to the sect leader, then massage her legs, rub her back, serve her tea and water, and even wash her clothes, okay?"

Su Mi did not fly into a rage.

Instead, he tilted his head to an exaggerated angle, staring at Wei Tu from this strange perspective.

He revealed a smile that was devoid of emotion, even empty.

"Senior brother~ Do you have time now?"

"What's wrong……?"

Wei Tu felt that this reaction was a bit off.

He felt a sense of familiarity; it seemed like this Su Mi had appeared briefly before… It was… when he was shopping with her, they saw a provocative woman on the street, and he casually remarked something like, “Such a big butt must be good for childbirth…”

Then, just like now, it cooled down completely, creating an atmosphere as if the world had been frozen.

Then they heard Su Mi continue speaking in such an emotionless and even somewhat eerie tone.

"I recently acquired a new sword. Could you help me test it out, senior brother?"

"This isn't a good idea... What if you hurt them? It's not good to damage the flowers and plants either..."

That's definitely not right, something's very wrong!

"I recently bought a rope. Can I put it around your neck to see how strong it is?"

“...Junior sister, if you want to kill your senior brother, don’t beat around the bush like this.”

"How could that be? I just don't want my senior brother to get involved with other women. He'll be more obedient if he stays still, right?"
