These fairies want me to deal with them every day.

Bastards... They're all bastards... In this world... Where are the good people, where is the kindness, where is the compassion?!

"Brother Xu, are you alright?"

"Old Xu, how are you?"

As Xu Qingtan kept her head down, Qin Xiaoman and Jiang Yuqi ran over to check on her.

She did not speak.

Until Chen Ran came to her, not with words of comfort, but with simple and clear words.

"If you don't accept the arrangements, you can go down the mountain on your own. It's up to you how you choose."

Xu Qing didn't look up.

"Thank you for your guidance these past few days, Master. I will leave the mountain and will no longer be a disciple of the Yuanjian Sect."

Chen Ran did not stop him. Although he showed a hint of regret in his eyes, he still nodded.

"Alright. Our master-disciple relationship has come to an end, so let's leave it at that."

"Brother Xu!! How can you say that? Even if you become an outer disciple, there will still be opportunities! Don't give up!"

"Qin Xiaoman said urgently."

Jiang Yuqi, who was standing nearby, also shouted, "Yes, yes! Elder Chen! Please give Xu Qing another chance. He hasn't done anything wrong, he's just a bit arrogant. Let's try to persuade him!"

Xu Qingtan shook his head, then looked up, grabbed the arms of the two men, and looked into their eager eyes.

"This is not a place for me. You should all focus on your cultivation. In the future, give me some face. Don't worry about me; the world is vast, and I will find my place."

Xu Qing said that he himself did not seem to have expected this.

From that stunning entrance that amazed all the disciples to that dismal departure, less than a month has passed.

She didn't like this arrangement, but it seemed she had no choice but to accept it; it seemed this was her fate.

She would hear people talking about her behind her back.

"I knew no one would like him because of his arrogant, aloof attitude back then!"

"Yeah... thinking he's so great, didn't he get a lesson from Senior Brother Wei?"

"Although I feel a little sorry for him, I believe in Senior Brother Wei. He would never do anything meaningless. He has a very broad mind."

Xu Qing just wanted to laugh.

On the mountain road, only Qin Xiaoman and Jiang Yuqi came to see them off.

Qin Xiaoman cried until she was exhausted, and Jiang Yuqi's nose turned red.

However, Xu Qing didn't give the three of them much time to linger and be reluctant to part; she only felt that this place was filled with her shame.

And new hatred.

She stood on the mountain path and waved to the two of them.

"I believe we will reach the same goal, even if we take different paths, and we will meet again at a higher level in the future. Take care."

"Take care, Qingtan..."

"Goodbye, Xu Qingtan..."

Xu Qing turned around and left, seemingly without any lingering attachment to the place.

Of course, she wasn't completely without any lingering feelings.

She's already starting to miss it.

My little house on Chimei Peak, though cramped, truly belongs to me.

No one would dare to disturb it; it was like its own little world.

I will cherish the memory of Chen Ran's careful guidance during these days.

But... but what can be done?

I've gotten used to it; there's always more bad than good in this world.

As a result, there are more bad people than good people.

So it's not surprising that I have to endure all of this, but... can these bastards really suffer the so-called retribution?

Heh... damn it, karma.

The girl, unsure of what the future held, walked down the mountain path, and she never cried throughout.

It was as if she had completely accepted this ending; in other words, what else could she do but accept it? She disliked accepting her fate, but destiny always made her bow her head time and time again.

As she turned the corner, she clearly saw a figure standing there. As the corner became clearer, she could see it more and more clearly.

"..."

Xu Qing didn't intend to say anything and left with a gloomy face.

But the other person spoke.

"Is he really leaving like that? Can't he even handle the slightest setback?"

Upon hearing these words, Xu Qingtan could barely contain his anger.

But she just gave a cold laugh.

"Isn't it to your liking that I'm leaving? That way, you won't have to worry about your secret being discovered. Anyway, even if I were to tell people now, they would only think that I'm holding a grudge and seeking revenge."

The boy standing there smiled and turned around to look at the girl standing on the other side, who was clearly distinct from him.

So, I did all these things just to make you think this way about me?

Xu Qing laughed and said, "We've come this far, is there any need to keep acting? Wouldn't it be better if everyone just be honest?"

Wei Tu shook his head, without a smile.

"You're just making excuses for your failures."

These words made Xu Qingtan furious.

"Am I a sore loser?! I'll accept defeat if I lose to other disciples, but why should you be in charge of these decisions?! Since you're afraid of Ji Xiangwan, since you're afraid I know your secret with Ran Xinxue, then honestly admit it. If you dare to do something but don't dare to take responsibility, how are you any different from Ji Xiangwan?!"

Now you dare to feign innocence before me? What do you want? My body, which even Ji Xiangwan couldn't have? Let me tell you, I, Xu Qingtan, would rather die than let you succeed. I will not yield to fate; you are all my future enemies!

Xu Qingtan's eyes almost reddened. Even though she had promised herself not to cry, she still lost her composure at that moment.

All the anxieties about gains and losses, the experiences of getting and losing, ultimately led to an imbalance.

Wei Tu looked at Xu Qingtan.

"If you're unwilling to admit defeat, why did you leave?"

"Are you going to stay here and wait to be humiliated?!"

"When did I say I was humiliating you?"

Wei Tu looked at Xu Qingtan with amusement.

Xu Qingtan glared at Wei Tu with red eyes.

"Isn't all this enough? You made me lose with just two sword strikes, without even using my cultivation level or aura. I was the one who won, but you made me an outer disciple! How far will you go to trample on my dignity?"

Wei Tu chuckled and said, "I used to think that people who are obsessed with blood feuds don't care about these things, but it turns out they care about everything."

"...What nonsense are you talking about!"

Wei Tu looked directly at Xu Qingtan.

"I'm saying this isn't about seeking revenge against Ji Xiangwan. Do you really think your talent will be sought after everywhere? Or do you think your cultivation can actually surpass Ji Xiangwan's, or even catch up with him? With your attitude of not being able to let go of anything, I advise you to submit to him as soon as possible and hope he torments you less!"

"I'll fight you to the death! What right do you have?!"

Xu Qingtan rushed up.

She couldn't stand Wei Tu saying such things.

But the outcome of lunging forward with bared teeth and claws is simple.

Wei Tu simply reached out and grabbed both of her wrists together, then turned around and pinned the girl against the tree.

He raised both hands directly above his head.

His eyes were fixed on Xu Qingtan.

"Because I'm stronger than you, because I succeeded in my revenge. Is that enough?" PS: Hurry! One thousand votes! One thousand votes!! This chapter has an extra three thousand words~ Hurry, I need to watch a match later, there are so many matches today~~

77 What's going on?!

Wei Tu's words bothered Xu Qing.

But... what's with this pose?

Xu Qingtan disliked this posture. She didn't like being forced by others, as if her life was being pushed along by fate.

Xu Qingtan cares so much because he wants to take control of his own life.

This posture made Xu Qingtan very uncomfortable.

She raised her face, which was slightly flushed, but her eyes were full of resentment.

"What...are you about to reveal your true colors?"

Wei Tu remained unmoved, smiling as he looked at her, without pressing himself any closer, simply holding her hands tightly.

She even wore a gentle smile.

"No, I just thought this way I could talk to you normally."

"That's not how you talk!"

Xu Qing reiterated her stance, but Wei Tu remained unchanged.

Xu Qing could only accept her fate, because she knew clearly that she was no match for this legendary young man in any way.

She could only look at Wei Tu in this somewhat humiliating posture.

"What exactly are you trying to tell me?!"
