These fairies want me to deal with them every day.

When the door closed again...

"boom!!"

Ran Xinxue raised her hand and turned a lamp into dust.

"Those who reap what they sow will not live!"

-

She seemed very angry.

Let's stroll together down to Daping and head towards the mountainside of Yuanjian Sect.

Lu Qingyan, who still stubbornly insisted on walking half a step ahead of the boy, made Wei Tu find her adorable. What was most adorable was that she was clearly someone with no experience in relationships, who only knew that Lu Qingyan was her master, so she had to act like a master and maintain the distinction between master and disciple. It seemed that if she was allowed to be a little more free, she would become confused and unable to understand things.

Wei Tu liked her absent-mindedness, which was a side of her beyond her cold and aloof demeanor.

"Maybe, after all, she really doesn't like me."

"If you don't like me, why would you let me participate?"

"They're giving you the cold shoulder."

"I heard you."

Suddenly, Lu Qingyan stopped and stood in the middle of the mountainside. There were several paths leading to the various peaks and the back mountain.

However, the paths leading to Xiaoyuan Peak and the Medicine King Pavilion on the back mountain are completely opposite.

"What did you hear?"

Wei Tu also stopped and asked, puzzled.

Lu Qingyan tilted her head slightly, as if looking at the ripples in the bleak autumn wind, or perhaps at a distant place she had admired in her youth.

She said she would make you a robe.

"Oh... this."

Wei Tu scratched his head. How should I put it? This was just a small bonus. For couples, it would be considered a little romance, but he and Ran Xinxue were not in that kind of relationship at all. This was just a little trick to deceive each other, and both of them knew it perfectly well.

However, Lu Qingyan had completely misunderstood the situation.

She spoke these words from the perspective of a master who wanted to retain her disciples.

"If you need to go to the Baoguang Hall because of this... I can also learn... needlework and such."

Wei Tu felt he had misheard, and he immediately tried to explain.

"That's not it. I had no intention of going to the Baoguang Hall, and besides, I never thought that Master would do these things for me."

"Then... what do you want your teacher to do for you?"

Lu Qingyan finally lost her patience and turned to look at Wei Tu.

Her expression was resolute, as if she had made the greatest concession she could. This signal was that Wei Tu should return to Xiaoyuan Peak; she still couldn't get used to his absence.

Seeing her slightly furrowed eyes and the rare expression of emotion on her face, the young man couldn't help but speak.

"Master, I want you..."

...PS: I don't even want to talk about how unlucky I've been lately... I'm fed up...

47. Tonight is so long (Please give me your monthly votes!!)

Has Lu Qingyan ever thought about matters between men and women...?

When this thought suddenly appeared, Lu Qingyan was startled to realize that she had never thought about this question all these years.

She had met many handsome young men, and many good-looking men had expressed their love for her.

But she never let her emotions get the better of her.

Aside from cultivating and passing on the sword style and spirit of Xiaoyuan Peak, she devoted her attention to her two disciples.

This is why Lu Qingyan refused to recruit more disciples to strengthen her power, unlike the elders of other sects.

She never thought of vying for power or gaining fame. She only wanted to fulfill her mentor's unfulfilled wish: to walk the true path with the sword spirit she had honed over the past twenty years and prove that her mentor's efforts had never been in vain.

She didn't have time to think about matters between men and women when she heard him utter those words.

My head practically exploded.

The astonishment on his face was impossible to hide.

She had no intention of changing the master-disciple relationship; she was simply heartbroken by this rebellious disciple and didn't consider whether other emotions might be involved.

Now... how come it's him talking to me...?

"What did you say……"

Her words were filled with unprecedented panic and disbelief; the boy she had raised with her own hands was actually...

How could this be allowed! This is utter betrayal of one's master and ancestors, an act of utter treason!

Wei Tu was stunned for a moment, then thought about it.

"What I mean is, I want Master to listen to me just once."

"...Listen to what you mean?"

Although it seemed like I could finally relax, since the outcome wasn't the worst I had anticipated, I found myself unable to view the boy with the same level of normalcy I had before.

Although he was raised by me, we are not related by blood. Moreover, he has grown up and is a respectable man. He can even create miracles by defeating Yuan Jiacao with just two sword strikes.

Those two sword strikes made Lu Qingyan utter the words "Who in the world is worthy of wearing white?" in a daze, which already showed that this young man was gradually growing up and becoming a stranger to her.

Wei Tu smiled.

"Master, you should know this."

Lu Qingyan bit her lip slightly. This girlish demeanor was rare in her world, but it had happened more than once when she was with this young man.

"Of course I know... so you haven't given up yet, have you?"

Wei Tu nodded.

"This disciple dares not give up."

Why wouldn't you dare?

"Because I want to be responsible for my master and want to protect him."

"You bastard!!"

The two stood at the entrance of the suspension bridge, neither of them taking the first step.

Because no one knows whether the remaining one will keep up with their pace.

Lu Qingyan couldn't help but feel a slight anger.

"When did I ever need your protection?"

Wei Tu looked at the wind blowing through the valley and gazed down into the bottomless abyss.

"It may not be necessary now, but given time, the deep-rooted problems will be difficult to change."

"That's none of your business!"

Lu Qingyan was unwilling to admit it, nor did she want to admit it.

Wei Tu stared intently at the woman who was slightly angry, his gaze fixed on her face, which was more elegant than the wind and moon.

"If I don't worry about it for you, who will?"

Lu Qingyan stared blankly at Wei Tu, at his extremely handsome face.

This was the first time someone had dared to say something like that to me.

Her talent was among the best in the entire Southern Sword State, and no one dared to tell her that they could take care of her or even protect her, because everyone thought she wouldn't need it.

But that's what he said.

Her words caught everyone off guard, almost throwing their hearts into turmoil.

"You... so those two sword strikes were meant to tell me that even without my guidance, you can forge your own path, and therefore you have the right to tell me what to do and decide my affairs?"

Wei Tu sighed, somewhat helplessly.

"It's not that they're exactly the same; they're practically unrelated. Master, you're mistaken."

"Where did I go wrong?" Lu Qingyan stubbornly insisted that he clearly thought he had some ability and didn't even respect her master anymore, so... his previous statement about wanting her... might not have been a misunderstanding, right? With his current arrogance, he could really be that rebellious...

Wei Tu smiled and looked at Lu Qingyan.

"I just want to prove to everyone that Lu Qingyan's disciples are never useless."

"I...understand..." Lu Qingyan avoided Wei Tu's gaze, unable to describe her feelings at this moment. Her heart, which had been somewhat cold, was filled by his words.

"That's it?"

"What else do you want?"

Lu Qingyan was somewhat angry, and even her icy demeanor seemed unable to be maintained.

"I want my master to listen to me this time."

"no!"

Lu Qingyan resisted.

Wei Tu didn't care about any of that.

"Nothing is impossible. I'll come to see Master tomorrow. I'll go back and prepare some things today. We'll have to try to see if it works."

Lu Qingyan wanted to invoke her master's authority, but knew it would be futile. She knew she couldn't truly sever ties with him because for so many years, all she had done was wield her sword and be with them; she was emotionally fragile and vulnerable.

She couldn't part with the sword, and naturally, she couldn't part with Wei Tu and Jiang Ying either.

"You unfilial disciple, you really won't listen to a single word from your master anymore?!"

Lu Qingyan tried to stop Wei Tu from leaving, but the young man waved without turning his head.

"After you've tried it, you can do whatever you want with me, but this time you have to listen to me. There's no room for discussion."
