These fairies want me to deal with them every day.

Unless there is someone who resolutely walks over, seemingly disregarding all gazes.

Yuan Jiacao stared blankly in that direction; the moment she appeared, she naturally looked over.

is her……

She walked over.

She should... take care of herself, right?

Although I lost... I lost to the person she liked.

Shouldn't I also feel sorry for myself? After all, I'm the one who lost so miserably...

There must still be some affection between them, right?

Even just a little bit of sympathy would be appreciated.

I... can't ask for too much.

Yuan Jiacao hoped and longed for this.

What he saw was a girl with a cold expression, seemingly devoid of any emotion, walking step by step toward Wei Tu.

She...didn't even glance at him.

She simply stood in front of him, took his hand, and examined it repeatedly.

Finally, he raised his head, making no attempt to hide the concern in his eyes.

"You're alright..."

"Ha ha……"

Yuan Jiacao smiled.

It turns out that I never even appeared in her heart for a moment.

He heard his own laughter and the sound of his already crumbling sword heart shattering.

Like an echoing sound of falling into an abyss, drifting and sinking into the endless night... PS: This chapter should be alright (Tao Bao said this while smoking, crossing her legs, and exhaling a puff of smoke.)

46 I want you

Time is like a broken hourglass, and memories are the grains of sand that leak out from it.

It takes a lot of time to pick them up and remember the name of each one.

"In this match, Wei Tu of the Yuanjian Sect wins!"

Wei Tu nodded calmly and took the hand of the girl beside him.

His actions at this moment needed no concealment, nor did he have anything to conceal.

She is a shining grain in the hourglass of memories, the one I can never forget.

They were almost the people they felt most guilty towards in their past lives, and only realized their repentance at the very end.

I once thought that as long as I walked the path of life, held one person's hand, and lived a life without letting her down, I could be at peace with myself and have no regrets.

Later, I realized that I, who was so favored, had chosen the right path, but in doing so, I had truly let her down.

Wei Tu ignored the noisy cheers.

He took her hand and stood in front of Yuan Jiacao.

Yuan Jiacao looked up at Wei Tu, her face devoid of a smile, only filled with a deep, despairing emptiness.

"You've beaten me, you've got everything, what else is there to say?"

Wei Tu shook his head.

"Everything I have has nothing to do with whether I win or lose to you. Even if I lose, none of it will be lost."

Yuan Jiacao glanced at Jiang Ying, the girl he cherished, who did not refute him and whose mind was entirely focused on him.

Yuan Jiacao knew that Wei Tu was right; even if he won, he couldn't change anything.

So what does he want to say to himself?

Isn't showing off enough? She's already become his stepping stone.

Soon the name Wei Tu will spread throughout the entire Southern Sword Prefecture, and Yuan Jia Cao is well aware of this.

What he didn't expect was that the man glanced at him and then reached out and patted him on the shoulder.

“Cultivation is about fighting against yourself and against the Way of Heaven, not living in your own world... Yuan Jia Cao, you haven’t figured out either cultivation or swordsmanship yet.”

As soon as he finished speaking, Wei Tu pulled Jiang Ying along and continued walking.

Until they arrived before that aloof and beautiful woman, who seemed somewhat lost and unsure whether to feel surprised or conflicted.

He gave a somewhat silly and goofy smile.

"Master, your rebellious disciple has won."

-

"Very good... Wei Tu, you are very good!"

Ran Xinxue laughed loudly, right inside the Baoguang Hall.

It seems to be the first time Ran Xinxue has summoned a disciple here alone since becoming the sect leader.

The young man who received this honor was standing at the doorway, calmly watching the woman's back.

"It's alright, I guess."

He felt that Ran Xinxue was indeed getting a little impatient. It wasn't that she was crazy, but rather that she was about to break off all pretense of civility. However, he didn't think she would go that far; she was just trying to make fun of him.

Ran Xinxue turned around, her white dress complementing Wei Tu's white attire perfectly; in public, they might resemble a divine couple.

Ran Xinxue was well aware of just how angry she was inside.

"Not bad? You broke Yuanjia Grass with two sword strikes... You've been hiding a lot of strength, Wei Tu. You even kept it from me. Are you planning to make a name for yourself and soar to great heights?"

Seeing Ran Xinxue's smiling yet cold expression, Wei Tu also laughed.

"If that weren't the case, how could the sect leader personally make a robe for his disciple?"

Ran Xinxue's smile widened. She might have believed it before, but now she didn't believe a single word of it.

This isn't a disciple at all; she's practically a little fox! She schemes against everyone!

"Really? If you wanted the robe, you should have said so earlier. Would I have refused to make it for you?"

Wei Tu looked extremely apprehensive and said, "How could this disciple possibly be worthy of having the fairy-like sect leader make robes for me? It's pure wishful thinking."

"Yes... wishful thinking, but now I have no choice but to do it for you, don't I?"

Wei Tu quickly shook his head.

"Of course not. If the sect leader is in a difficult position, then forget it. This disciple will certainly listen to the sect leader."

"Since you listen to me so readily, you don't need to live on Little Iris Peak anymore. How about I give you a chance to move to Treasure Light Palace?"

As if she had gone mad, Ran Xinxue uttered these shocking words as soon as she opened her mouth.

Who doesn't know what moving into Baoguang Hall and living with Ran Xinxue means? This level of implication is practically flirting.

"Sect Leader, have you ever heard a story?"

"Heh...a story?"

Ran Xinxue wanted to see what kind of trouble Wei Tu was up to.

Standing still, Wei Tu smiled as she looked at Ran Xinxue, their two beautiful faces far apart, as if they would never meet.

"There was a hen in the farmhouse who liked the male owner of the farmhouse. One day she said to him: 'Don't go home. Live with me in the henhouse. I can lay eggs.'"

"...Wei Tu!!"

Her snow-white hair fluttered in the wind, and she stared at the audacious young man with fury in her eyes.

He actually compared himself to a chicken...!

What? Lu Qingyan is a human being, and I'm just a chicken in front of her?!

Ran Xinxue felt that all the shame in her life came from this boy. Only he dared to hurt her so recklessly in this situation, as if he was not worried at all about her making things difficult for him!

Just as the woman seemed about to attack him.

"boom!"

The door suddenly opened.

Ran Xinxue immediately stopped, because she saw the aloof and beautiful woman standing at the bottom of the steps outside the door.

She was staring intently inside.

That bastard...that little scumbag!

Ran Xinxue was practically bursting with pent-up frustration.

This bastard actually opened the door without any regard for consequences. She couldn't do anything to Wei Tu in front of Lu Qingyan, not even a minor punishment in the name of the sect leader.

Because Wei Tucai has made outstanding 'contributions' to the sect, taking action on his own would be without justification. Given Lu Qingyan's protectiveness, she would definitely stop him and wouldn't respect her as the sect leader at all.

Damn it... Damn it!

A pair of annoying master and apprentice.

However, when Ran Xinxue saw Lu Qingyan's gaze looking inside, she realized something.

The anger on his face vanished instantly, replaced by a bright smile.

You two, you scoundrels...you just wait.

"Let's call it a day then. Wei Tu, you must keep up the good work and make more contributions to the sect in the future."

Wei Tu nodded with a smile and cupped his hands in greeting.

"The disciple understands."

After saying that, the young man turned and walked away from Baoguang Hall.
