Fellow Daoist, your script is really good.

Upon hearing Su Li's voice, Zhao Lingxue's delicate body trembled slightly, her fingers kneading each other incessantly, her cheeks growing increasingly red.

"There's no need to talk about these things anymore."

Su Li smiled and even scratched the back of his head, appearing somewhat simple and honest.

"Otherwise, it would be quite embarrassing..."

"Huh?"

Hearing Su Li's words, Zhao Lingxue raised her head, staring blankly at Su Li...

She thought Su Li would expose her.

But Su Li didn't do that...

Why didn't Su Li do that?

Could it be...?

Su Li actually...

Did this jerk actually like me all along?

As she pondered, Zhao Lingxue's eyes grew brighter and brighter. She clasped her index fingers together in front of her and gently twisted them a few times. The blush on her cheeks had already spread to her delicate collarbone.

【Ding......】

Just as Su Li was still defending Zhao Lingxue's face in front of the three senior sisters.

The system's voice sounded again in Su Li's mind.

[Detected that the host's favorability towards Zhao Lingxue has increased to "Su Li is naughty", occupying a more important position in Zhao Lingxue's heart.]

The host has gained 2,000 Fate Points.

Su Li: "..."

Su Li is naughty?

What kind of favorability rating is this?

Su Li turned her head and glanced at Zhao Lingxue beside her.

Zhao Lingxue happened to be looking directly into Su Li's eyes.

However, Zhao Lingxue quickly looked away shyly, then gently nudged Su Li with her soft little arm, just like a little girl pouting...

Su Li suddenly felt a slight headache...

"Forget it, no matter what, I must first maintain my status as Lingxue's Daoist partner, and I can't let Lingxue down."

Otherwise, if a young girl like her loses face, how will she be able to cultivate in the Henyi Sect in the future...?

Su Li made a decision in her heart.

After today, I'll have a proper talk with Lingxue.

Otherwise, this mess will only get worse, and if I end up in a chaotic situation, I'll really be split into five pieces!

"Wait... a battleground? The quintet?"

In an instant, Su Li realized something.

Could it be that I was caught in a love triangle with him, which is why I was split into five equal parts?!

The more Su Li thought about it, the more likely it seemed!

Because the price for obtaining the system is a thousand years of being single.

But a thousand years later, he was dismembered by Qianyun...

Why did Qianyun dismember herself? Was it because of the chaotic situation?

"hiss!"

Feeling that she had realized the truth, Su Li gasped!

No, I absolutely cannot let that possibility happen!

Su Li straightened his expression and continued to deal with the three senior sisters.

It's decided! I need to "break up" with Zhao Lingxue properly, without making her jealous or resentful, and I can't leave behind an image of a heartless and unfaithful man.

Otherwise, if he were to refuse her firmly and hurt Lingxue's feelings, who knows if, years later, Lingxue might find a reason to kill him with a sword.

After all, feelings are the most irrational and inexplicable thing.

The best way is to treat Lingxue well, be kind to her, and think about her needs.

However, one must maintain a balance and not let Lingxue feel any ambiguity. One must subtly convey that "I am kind to you only as a friend, not as a Daoist partner."

In this way, even if he rejects Lingxue, Lingxue will remember his past kindness to her and won't use her sword to cut him.

It's like a guy being really nice to a girl, taking care of her in every way, but then saying at the end, "I only see you as a little sister..."

In the end, even if the girl felt hatred, she would remember the good things about the other person.

But then again.

Why do I feel like I have a scumbag vibe?

"Senior sisters, this is a small token of my appreciation. It's a little bit of spiritual food that our Qianling Holy Land has recently produced. I appreciate it if you could take good care of my junior sister these past few days."

Su Li handed over three small gift boxes.

The gift box contains a set of the most popular cheongsam-style dress recently sold in Qianling Holy Land. It is also a magic robe, but the grade is relatively low, and it is worth five mid-grade spirit stones.

There's also a set of rouge and face powder, worth four mid-grade spirit stones.

Then there was Lao Tan pickled cabbage beef noodles, instant milk tea, and Su Hei Ya brand duck neck.

The main ingredient of Lao Tan Pickled Cabbage Beef Noodles is pickled cabbage.

Su Li's method of making sauerkraut involved hiring several beautiful young women from the Qianling Holy Land to stomp on it with their feet, a technique that was very popular among cultivators.

"Oh, I'm so sorry."

The three senior sisters declined somewhat.

However, after Su Li pulled her several times, the three senior sisters happily put it away.

The three senior sisters of the Henyi Sect found Su Li more and more pleasing to the eye.

As for Zhao Lingxue, who was standing next to Su Li, she was secretly a little jealous.

That big jerk!

None of them brought me any gifts! But they brought gifts for the senior female students!

Big pig's trotter! Big pig's trotter!

Why did you give them gifts, and why were you being so friendly with them?

[Detection indicates that the host's favorability towards Zhao Lingxue is decreasing. Fate Points +20, +30, +40, +20...]

Upon hearing the system's voice, Su Li paused for a moment and turned to look at the girl beside him.

At this moment, Zhao Lingxue pouted, her beautiful eyes filled with both grievance and anger.

"Su Li, I sense a faint sword aura emanating from you. Do you also practice swordsmanship?"

Seeing the two "young lovers" flirting, Xiaohua smiled and asked.

"A little, but not much." Su Li had indeed practiced a little, but it was a sword technique of the "Yellow-grade" level that he casually learned when he was experimenting in the library.

"In that case, Junior Sister Lingxue, you can take your sweetheart to see the Heavenly Absolute Stele. Maybe it will inspire you."

Chapter 327 Tianjue Monument

The three senior sisters of the Henyi Sect have left.

After all, his little sister Lingxue seemed to be a bit jealous, so he naturally couldn't stay there any longer.

"You big jerk! Where's my present?!"

After her three senior sisters left, Zhao Lingxue stomped her little feet, stretched out her small hands, and presented her fair palms to Su Li.

"There are some."

Su Li took out an exquisite box from her storage bag.

"Here, this is for you."

"Hmph, you big jerk, at least you have a conscience."

As Zhao Lingxue spoke, she happily accepted the box and then opened it.

Inside the box was a sword tassel.

The sword tassel is entirely fiery red, with feathers that seem to burn with intense heat, and is lightly adorned with emerald green jade, adding a touch of gentle beauty.

"This sword tassel is..."

Zhao Lingxue looked up at Su Li. She could sense that this sword tassel was extraordinary.

"This is a sword tassel I made from phoenix feathers. It contains a strong phoenix spirit and has a nurturing effect on sword intent."

Su Li smiled.

The phoenix feather was found by Su Li in the cave in the Black Beast Secret Realm.

In addition, Su Li also found a few fox furs.

Originally, Su Li intended to sell this sword tassel for money, or give it to Jiang Ningzhi to do her a favor.

But now, Su Li felt he should give it to Zhao Lingxue.

Otherwise, things will really get out of hand.

The main reason is that I didn't have a better gift.

“Lingxue, this phoenix feather is a genuine phoenix feather, and it is very valuable! I obtained it by chance from a secret realm, and it probably doesn’t exist in the world anymore.”

Su Li emphasized the preciousness of this sword tassel, wanting Ling Xue to realize that this gift was truly valuable.

The subtext is: When you try to cut me down in the future, remember to hold back when you see this sword tassel.

Did you make this yourself?

Zhao Lingxue repeatedly played with the crimson sword tassel in her hand, then looked up at Su Li expectantly.

It seems that Zhao Lingxue doesn't care at all about the preciousness of the material of this sword tassel.

"Yes, I made it myself." Su Li nodded.

It was indeed made by Su Li herself; she made it while watching the live stream of "Mirror Flower Water Moon" when she was bored.

"It seems a little rough~" Zhao Lingxue said, but she couldn't help but admire it. "Is this your first time making one?"

"It is indeed my first time." Su Li's eyes wandered. "I didn't do a very good job, please forgive me. How about this, I'll go back and improve it."

As she spoke, Su Li reached out to take the sword tassel.

However, the girl dodged to the side.

"do not want!"

Zhao Lingxue gripped the sword tassel and carried it behind her back, protecting it tightly.

"That's good!"

Su Li frowned slightly: "But didn't you complain that it was rough?"

"Mind your own business! I just like the rougher look."

As soon as she finished speaking, fearing that Su Li would take back the sword tassel, the girl summoned her flying sword Sparrow Sprout and then hung the sword tassel on the hilt.

The girl casually twirled her sword a few times.

The girl's skirt swayed, her long hair flowed, and the slender white sword gleamed in the morning sunlight.

The red phoenix feather sword tassel danced with it, like flowing red clouds.

"How is it? Does it look good?"

Lingxue looked at Su Li with a smile in her eyes.
