These fairies want me to deal with them every day.

Wei Tu smiled and looked at Xu Qingtan.

"It's very simple. Let me ask you, you're giving up on revenge?"

Xu Qingtan gets angry just thinking about this.

"Did I give up? Didn't you kick me out?!"

"You chose to go out yourself; I'm just telling you to go to the outer gate."

"What's the difference? Going to the outer sect is practically the same as being expelled from the sect! Don't tell me you don't know the difference between outer and inner sect disciples!"

Xu Qingtan glared fiercely at Wei Tu.

Wei Tu smiled.

"That's just your opinion. Why haven't you considered that you can re-enter the sect competition next time through the competition? Do you think that others might surpass you during this period? If that's the case, why can't you make up your mind to work hard in cultivation no matter what, until you achieve better and better results and stand in a higher and higher position?"

Xu Qingtan was stunned.

"I……"

Wei Tu suddenly stopped smiling and squinted at Xu Qingtan.

"Because you seem to defy fate, but you've always accepted its arrangements. You think you're forging a new path, but you're just compromising time and time again. You think taking a step back opens up a whole new world, so you keep retreating. Do you really think you can find a better sect than the Yuanjian Sect to give you better opportunities? Or do you think you're like those legendary figures who have amazing encounters wherever they go? 'If this place doesn't want me, there are plenty of other places that will.'"

So now I'm telling you, sometimes what seems like compromising is actually a form of fighting, while other times, what seems like resistance is actually a form of admitting defeat. What do you think?

Xu Qing was stunned.

It seems that the other party's remarks have made him question the meaning of life.

She genuinely felt that this wasn't what she thought.

However, if you calm down and rationally analyze your current situation...

Yet it seems I'm increasingly forced to believe his words.

Can I be sure that everything I gain after leaving the Yuanjian Sect is better than what I get here?

He was just an outer disciple. Did he leave because he couldn't see any hope for the future, or because of resentment in his heart and stubborn prejudice against this young man?

She was unable to answer for a moment.

Seeing her expression, Wei Tu finally released her hand.

Suddenly released, Xu Qingtan almost stumbled and fell to the ground, barely managing to steady herself by holding onto the large tree behind her.

Having already packed her bags, she was immediately filled with new doubts, looking at Wei Tu with suspicion.

Why are you saying these things to me?

Wei Tu turned his head slightly to look at her.

"Why don't we continue to think about it the way you previously guessed? For example, I'm worried that you'll spread rumors outside, so it's easier to keep you under control if I leave you at Yuanjian Sect?"

Xu Qingtan blushed slightly.

Since things had come to this point, his words were clearly a sarcastic jab at me for interpreting his actions with overly cynical thinking...

"You...it's not because of Ji Xiangwan?"

She hesitated before saying those words, and Wei Tu smiled and shook his head after hearing them.

"It's infuriating to hear someone say something like that at a time like this..."

"I……"

"Boom!"

"Well……!"

Xu Qing covered her forehead, which had instantly turned red. This was not a sign of affection, because her forehead had turned red instantly!

It really hurts!

That bastard really did it!

After Wei Tu finished knocking, he crossed his arms and looked at Xu Qing and spoke.

"Do you really think I'm afraid of Ji Xiangwan? Or the Yihua Palace?"

"How would I know that!"

Xu Qing said somewhat angrily.

Wei Tu smiled and shook his head.

"These things don't really matter, but the reason why no one has chosen to break off relations isn't necessarily out of fear, but rather because they often feel it's unnecessary. He doesn't yet have the ability to be in charge of the Yihua Palace. Even though he's called the Third Young Master of the Yihua Palace, there are still the First and Second Young Masters above him, so he can't make the decisions. I also have no intention of exploring your past, but I hope you understand that revenge isn't done this way."

After saying this, Wei Tu raised his head and looked at the sky.

It seemed like she remembered something.

The weather is fine and sunny, with the fragrance of flowers and the chirping of birds; indeed... spring is almost here.

Everything is gradually recovering, whether it be vitality or conspiracy.

Xu Qing lowered her head and didn't raise it for a long time.

"So what should I do? Now... become an outer disciple?"

Xu Qing looked at Wei Tu, a long-lost longing reappearing in his eyes.

A thirst for power, a yearning for the future, a desire for revenge.

That's how the world is. Many people are burdened with deep-seated hatred without their consent, and the cycle of revenge seems to happen all the time.

Wei Tu thought for a moment.

"So, settling you in is a headache. But have you let go of those so-called pride and concerns? Even if you feel like the whole world is against you, do you still care? Even if the people around you have schemes and plots against you, do you still have the determination to keep going?"

Xu Qingtan looked at Wei Tu.

"I really want to say with certainty that I am certain of everything... but it seems... I can't say that. In fact, I am still full of many uncertainties."

Wei Tu smiled, revealing a set of bright white teeth.

“That’s normal. You’re still young, not even sixteen yet. It’s understandable that you’re uncertain about everything. I can help you think of a way. But I need to ask you first.”

"what?"

Xu Qing looked at Wei Tu with a puzzled expression, wondering why she had previously felt such disgust towards him.

He's been messing around with women and targeting him... but now... Xu Qingtan seems to see a glimmer of hope in him.

It's hard to explain, perhaps it's like a premonition that brought me here.

Wei Tu looked at Xu Qingtan with a smile.

"Do you have the determination to set aside your dignity and start over even if you lose everything? Do you have the mindset to give your all without complaining or blaming others even if you gain nothing?"

Xu Qing looked at Wei Tu, and she felt that what the other party said was not as simple as it seemed.

Perhaps... this could lead to even worse scenarios.

But... can we trust it?

No, it seems that trusting him is the only option I can have.

Compared to Ji Xiangwan, he seemed strange, but the good thing was that he had no shortage of women, while she herself looked completely devoid of femininity.

He should prefer a woman like Ran Xinxue who can exude beauty anytime, anywhere, rather than a girl like himself who hasn't even grown all her hair yet (?) and is still pretending to be a man.

So she nodded, making up her mind at that moment.

He made a decision that would affect his entire life from then on.

"I have."

Wei Tu nodded.

"Now grab your things and come with me."

"where to?"

Don't ask.

After Wei Tu finished speaking simply and clearly, he turned and walked ahead.

So Xu Qingtan had no choice but to grit his teeth and follow.

Xu Qingtan soon discovered something: the boy was walking on a secluded mountain path leading to the Yuanjian Sect.

It wasn't the wide avenue that used to be.

Why is this?

Is he going to take me up the mountain? Could it be that this road leads to the place where the outer disciples gather?

Xu Qing had this awareness, but he wasn't sure.

Step by step, until they reached a mountain peak.

Xu Qing felt as if she had never been here before.

She seemed completely unfamiliar with them, so she couldn't help but break the silence between them.

"Where is this place?"

Wei Tu gave her a very simple and clear answer.

"Little Iris Peak".

"Little Iris Peak...?"

Xu Qingtan quickly remembered this name, which seemed to live in legend.

It's not actually that mysterious. It is indeed a mountain peak belonging to the Yuanjian Sect, but very few people can set foot in this place.

Because Xiaoyuan Peak is no longer accepting new disciples.

There are only three people on Xiaoyuan Peak, including Elder Lu Qingyan. Unless there is something particularly special, they have no chance to come here. Many people have been here for five or six years and have never seen what Xiaoyuan Peak looks like. This is a common occurrence.

Xu Qing was somewhat surprised.

However, Wei Tu had already led her to a quiet courtyard and stopped.

Before Xu Qing could react, the boy shouted in front of her.
