These fairies want me to deal with them every day.

What does "returning home in glory" mean?

Qin Xiaoman rolled her eyes, then looked at Xu Qingtan, who had a calm and composed expression.

"Brother Xu, what does 'returning home in glory' mean?"

"What? You don't know either!"

"I know! I roughly know... but it's a hassle to explain, you know... unlike you, Brother Jiang, who's so dense and knows nothing!"

"Returning home in glory" means returning to one's hometown in fine clothes, implying that one has achieved great success and returned home to bring honor to one's ancestors, making others envious.

Xu Qing interrupted their pointless argument.

Jiang Yuqi nodded, "I see... Speaking of which, I really didn't expect them to actually take first place this time. Wasn't Lu Chenzong supposed to be very powerful? Wang Mu wrote to me a few days ago, saying that Lu Chenzong was going to win the championship this time."

Qin Xiaoman whispered, "I heard... the biggest contributor to this victory is Senior Brother Wei!"

"Senior Brother Wei?" Jiang Yuqi asked curiously.

Xu Qingtan narrowed her eyes slightly. She subconsciously looked over and saw the handsome young man in the crowd. The young man, who was easily recognizable, was being surrounded by disciples, receiving flirtatious glances and bouquets from female disciples.

He looked incredibly smug.

This unreliable man? All he does is pretend...

Qin Xiaoman nodded, "I heard... all three of them are very powerful, but in the final battle, Senior Brother Wei and another person put on quite a spectacle. Everyone who saw it said it was breathtaking... So, is Senior Brother Wei even more powerful than Senior Brother Qiao?"

Jiang Yuqi shook his head. "No way, Senior Brother Qiao is very capable and has a good reputation. At least... Senior Brother Qiao wouldn't be as arrogant as Senior Brother Wei, would he?"

Looking at the scene, Qin Xiaoman felt as if the two images existed in opposition to each other.

Qiao Zhiheng walked calmly and with a smile through the crowd, appearing detached and unfamiliar with everyone.

The carefree and handsome young man chatted and laughed, seemingly accepting no one's sudden closeness, and even uttering nonsensical jokes, just like at a wedding banquet.

Xu Qingtan reached up and rubbed his forehead, "How embarrassing..."

But then she suddenly heard Qin Xiaoman say, "No way, I think Senior Brother Wei... is very real."

"Really? That's strange... Doesn't that lack the demeanor of a master? Shouldn't a person of great strength walk with an air of authority, the kind that even immortals wouldn't bother with? Just looking at Senior Brother Wei, he doesn't seem like such an extraordinary person at all. He's too easy to underestimate."

Jiang Yuqi pondered for a moment and said.

Qin Xiaoman shook her head and said, "Looking down on someone isn't because of what that person is like, but because of what kind of person they are. Maybe that's just Wei's personality. He doesn't like to pretend to be a master and do those things, so he seems very amiable. I think Wei is more charming. Those so-called immortals live in some deep mountains and forests, on some mountaintop... but Wei is right here among us, isn't he?"

Jiang Yuqi pondered for a moment and looked at Qin Xiaoman, "Xiao Qin...you're really strange."

Am I strange? Hmm?

"Don't you think so, Brother Xu?"

Jiang Yuqi looked at Xu Qingtan, who seemed to have fallen silent again.

Xu Qing was silent for a moment before speaking slowly.

"He is indeed a strange person."

"See! I knew Senior Brother Wei was a strange person!"

"How childish, who's arguing with you about this? By the way... Brother Xu, aren't you on Little Iris Peak right now, on the same mountain as Senior Brother Wei? Is it really unrelated to saying this?"

Xu Qing shook his head and then turned around.

"It's alright, he's too strange to notice me. Okay, you all enjoy the welcome, I'm going to cultivate."

"Ahhh... Okay, take care..."

Xu Qing left the bustling crowd and saw that everywhere seemed to be filled with a celebratory atmosphere, with countless flower petals scattered on the ground.

It seems that all of this is used to welcome the return of heroes.

Xu Qing didn't smile happily at the sight of the flowers; instead, she left with a cold expression.

"It's definitely better to go back..."

The young woman, dressed like a man but much prettier, walked onto the suspension bridge.

As soon as I arrived at the familiar courtyard, I heard voices.

"Master, we're back."

Xu Qing stopped and saw Wei Tu and Jiang Ying's beautiful figures not far away.

It was indeed a beautiful silhouette.

The man was dressed in white, with a tall and slender figure, and an upright posture. He resembled a robust and thriving tree.

The girl beside him had long, black hair that cascaded down to her waist.

A slender and graceful figure is like a beautiful flower blooming beside a large tree.

Such a combination is enough to remind one of many beautiful things in life.

The aloof woman standing before the two seemed to have an unusually unusual expression.

For at least all these days, Xu Qingtan had never seen a gentle expression on the face of this woman named Lu Qingyan, but it appeared at this moment.

She looked gently at the boy and girl in front of her.

"Hmm... It's good to be back. How are you feeling?"

"Thanks to Master, everything is very good."

"Well... alright, I won't say anything more. You guys go and get some rest."

"Yes……"

Lu Qingyan returned to the house, while Jiang Ying also temporarily bid farewell to Wei Tu.

Wei Tu's place here has already been occupied by Xu Qingtan, so naturally there is no reason for him to stay here for the time being.

So Wei Tu calmly turned around, but what he saw was something else.

The corner of a garment.

A corner of clothing lingering in a corner of the woods.

He frowned, then approached step by step...

"Greetings, Senior Brother."

Suddenly, Xu Qingtan stepped out from behind the tree.

Wei Tu patted his chest and took a step back.

"Oh my...you scared me to death, you brat, why are you always so jumpy and sneaky?"

Xu Qingtan frowned as he looked at Wei Tu.

"What do you mean by sneaking around..."

"Wasn't it the same last time? You hid and I caught you."

Wei Tu said irritably.

Xu Qingtan suddenly remembered everything he had heard and seen in front of that pavilion that day.

A similar feeling flashed through her mind, and looking at the boy's handsome face, she subconsciously took a step back.

Wei Tu stared blankly at Xu Qingtan.

What are you doing?

Xu Qing shook his head.

His eyes darted around nervously, and a bright color seemed to have appeared on his face.

"No... I just remembered some unpleasant memories."

"Not-so-good memories... Wait, you little rascal, you wouldn't be... "

"No, absolutely not. Senior Brother's womanizing is a well-known fact. Everyone in the sect says so, even Master says so. So what we see and hear is normal. After all, that's just the kind of person Senior Brother is."

This string of words was like a cannonball.

It took Wei Tu a while to react.

"No, girl, what are you talking about? What do you mean, 'just this kind of person'...and people from the sect too? Wait, what did my master say?"

Xu Qing looked at Wei Tu with a cold gaze.

Answer truthfully.

"Master said you are a dangerous person, a fickle and amorous person, and your greatest skill is deceiving women, especially beautiful women. You have too many ambiguous relationships with too many people, so..." Xu Qingtan secretly glanced at the boy.

"So I'm telling you to keep your distance..."

Wei Tu covered his forehead in disbelief, then pointed to himself.

"me?"

Xu Qingtan nodded, "If... there's only one person named Wei Tu on this hill..."

"Really... It's one thing for others to say it, but how could my master speak ill of my senior brother in front of a junior like that? It's really indecent..."

Wei Tu saw the questioning look in Xu Qing's eyes and immediately stopped talking.

"Ah, in short... I'm not that kind of person."

Xu Qing nodded, expressionless.

"I'm not a fickle or promiscuous person..."

Xu Qing nodded, her eyes lifeless.

"I'm not the type to fall in love with every woman I see, and not every woman around me is dangerous..."

Xu Qing nodded, not believing it at all.

Wei Tu let out a long sigh.

Then he smiled and looked at Xu Qingtan in front of him.

"Have you been quite free lately?"

Xu Qing shook his head, "No..."

"Did you practice on time?"
