These fairies want me to deal with them every day.

In fact, Su Mi knew that the other party was a girl, but she respected the girl's thoughts. At least the other party was still dressed as a man, so she did not directly point it out.

Su Mi sneered.

"Aren't I your junior sister too?"

Wei Tu thought for a moment, "But you're not ordinary."

"I'm just an ordinary junior sister!"

"No, I won't allow you to say that about yourself!"

Wei Tu smiled and took Su Mi's hand, then gazed deeply into her eyes.

Su Mi blushed and tugged at the boy.

"What nonsense are you talking about? There are still people watching!"

"Then let's talk about it secretly."

"Are you sick?!"

"Ha ha ha ha……"

The two left, chatting and laughing.

Xu Qing couldn't help but shiver.

"So cheesy..."

It seems like I have to endure these inexplicable blows all the time.

However, it also made Xu Qing realize some other things. For example, this young man, who was ostensibly his senior brother but was actually his master, acted more freely and unrestrainedly than others, even to the point of being dissolute.

They seem to do whatever they want without considering other people's opinions.

For example, they even openly engage in such frivolous behavior...

However, what Xu Qingtan was still somewhat concerned about was... just how many women did this young man have outside?

They really aren't afraid of getting burned...

After chopping firewood, Xu Qing rested for a while and then sat in the yard enjoying the breeze.

She liked this feeling and suddenly realized that she had not only adapted to this place, but had also come to love this peaceful and tranquil place without too much trouble.

No one forced me to practice swordsmanship, and there wasn't much complicated social interaction.

You don't need to meet a lot of people every day and then think about how to leave a good impression and greet them in a friendly way.

Even though she never does these things herself, she always silently bears the pressure behind the scenes.

Now, it seems that all these pressures have disappeared, and this place is not a good place for spiritual practice, but a good place for seclusion.

Here, one can forget the worries that have been weighing on one's heart, and then keep company with the world in solitude.

The girl, sitting in the courtyard, blinked and stared blankly into space.

I don't think I've ever looked at the sky like this before; it's as if I've completely forgotten what color the sky is.

But what's so interesting about the sky? In my memory... it seems like when I was little, my father held me in his arms and looked at the sky. At that time, my big eyes were looking at the distant sky.

It felt so vast, yet untouchable.

I still feel that the world is so vast that it's impossible to explore it all on foot.

But it doesn't seem so clean anymore. Is it because my mindset has changed?

She didn't know, she just didn't know how long she had been lost in thought, until she heard footsteps passing by her.

She had only looked over subconsciously when she heard the sound.

"What are you daydreaming about? Aren't you going to practice your sword?"

The boy in white stood outside the courtyard, looking at him.

Xu Qingtan paused for a moment, then stood up and said, "Rest for a bit, I'll go in a bit."

Wei Tu nodded, then remembered something, reached out and pushed open the familiar courtyard door to walk in.

Xu Qing stared straight at him.

Actually, he wasn't worried. After all, he had come alone, and the girl hadn't arrived yet, so he didn't dare to do anything.

Hmm? Why am I thinking this? He shouldn't be interested in a woman like me who lacks femininity.

Wei Tu asked with a smile.

How have you been feeling these past few days staying here?

Xu Qing replied calmly, "It's alright... nothing special, but it feels quite comfortable to live here."

Wei Tu nodded.

"Yes, Little Iris Peak is such a place. Many people say it's not suitable for cultivation, and that's true. Because it's so peaceful and serene, people can't help but fall asleep here. So this is probably why the population of Little Iris Peak has become increasingly sparse over time. Will your will be worn down?"

Xu Qing shook his head firmly.

“I know that no matter how comfortable this place is, it’s not a place I can stay for the rest of my life. I hope that when I leave here, I will have the power to solve all difficulties.”

Wei Tu laughed out loud, but not sarcastically, but rather said, "You have a good attitude."

"Life is already like this, all that's left is mindset. What else can you do, die?"

Xu Qingtan grinned and smiled, a rare occurrence for him.

Yet it is as brilliant as a summer flower in a fleeting moment.

This young girl's youthful beauty has blossomed.

Wei Tu's eyes were indifferent. He had seen countless women who were both incredibly talented and beautiful, but many of them either faded into obscurity or became just ordinary people.

They all had moments that amazed the world, but not everyone can turn that beauty into eternity.

Wei Tu nodded.

"I will be leaving the Yuanjian Sect in a few days to participate in the trials in Nanjian Prefecture, so I won't be teaching you for the next few days. Do you have any complaints?"

Xu Qing shook his head.

"I'm already very content with this."

So Wei Tu took out a sword manual from his Qiankun bag and handed it to Xu Qingtan.

Xu Qingtan noticed that there were no names on it, but when he opened it, he found that it contained his insights into sword practice and many small details.

As for sword techniques, there are very few.

"Is this a sword manual?"

Xu Qing asked, puzzled.

Wei Tu thought for a moment.

"Not really, because there's nothing special about sword techniques. What I like is the sword's unpredictable style. Because the moves are too fixed and rigid, even if they seem flashy, they'll be easily seen through. For someone with even more terrifying talent, once you've used a move, they can quickly figure it out in the next battle. So having fixed moves is actually a huge disadvantage. This is my own reflection. It would be more appropriate to call it the Sword Manual."

"You wrote this yourself...?"

Xu Qing was somewhat surprised.

Wei Tu smiled and nodded.

"Yes, that's why I haven't taught you anything these past few days, because I've spent some time organizing my own insights from sword practice and combat. It should be quite detailed; you should be able to understand it as long as you can read."

Xu Qingtan originally thought that Wei Tu had deliberately kept him out of the public eye these past few days in order to tame his personality.

But it turned out that wasn't the case at all; he was just writing something like that...

Few people would write down their insights on sword practice like this.

Firstly, it requires extremely high skill and a certain level of achievement. Secondly, while a sword manual can be written arbitrarily, you can only imitate the form, not necessarily grasp the essence. However, a sword classic essentially outlines a person's entire thought process for drawing and practicing the sword, almost like a complete impartial teaching.

Unless a person is on the verge of death, who would be willing to reveal all their cards?

This boy...

Wei Tu smiled at Xu Qing and said, "This is the first book I've ever written, and you're the first person to see it. Although I'm not famous yet, and you might think it's not very useful or convincing, it's all written honestly, without any falsehood or concealment. Of course, if you don't think it's very useful to you, don't destroy it; remember to return it to me."

"How is this possible...!"

Wei Tu was stunned for a moment, and then saw the girl staring at him with wide eyes and a fire burning in them.

It felt like a rare kind of excitement.

After all, this girl is usually very quiet, and it seems that she is using this method to disguise the person who is burdened with a blood feud.

However, at this moment, Xu Qingtan seemed too excited to speak.

“I…I didn’t expect you to go to such lengths to help me…Maybe I’m a little too excited, but…thank you so much, senior brother.”

It seemed to be the first time he had addressed the other person as "senior brother" in such a formal way.

This made Wei Tu feel a pang of pity. Yes, originally no one had to be like this, but the world is unpredictable, like a breeding ground for poisonous insects, forcing everyone to a desperate situation. Some people rise to the top, while others fall to the bottom.

He couldn't help but reach out and rub Xu Qingtan's head.

It's like spoiling a small child.

Xu Qingtan was stunned for a moment, staring blankly at Wei Tu.

Wei Tu didn't think about anything, but instead said...

"These days you should focus on your cultivation and thoroughly understand the sword manual I gave you. When you come back, ask me if there's anything you don't understand. There's a cold pool at the foot of Little Iris Peak. Cultivating there will greatly help your physical strength, but don't stay there for too long, or I'll have to come back to rescue you."

Xu Qing nodded seriously.

He held the sword manual tightly in his arms.

Wei Tu found her behavior somewhat amusing, but there was no need to linger, so he stood up and prepared to leave.

He still has some preparations to make for his trip.

At this moment, Xu Qingtan called out to Wei Tu.

Wei Tu turned around and looked at her.

Her complexion was normal, and her cool-toned face had a unique texture.

"This sword manual... doesn't it have a name?"
