Good heavens, the ancestor has gone to confess his love again!

That shouldn't be the case.

Although he couldn't see through the other party's cultivation level, Xu Fan had said that he was in the early stage of the Great Sage realm, so he shouldn't be younger than him, right?

Could it be that he was too well protected from a young age and never experienced the wickedness of human nature?

Xu Pingsheng muttered to himself, but his actions didn't stop.

He immediately tossed his head, raised his hand to gently brush away the stray hairs on his forehead, and put on a dashing and debonair appearance, while a hint of deep affection welled up in his eyes.

His gaze was fixed intently on Meng Yuxuan, his voice low and gentle as he spoke slowly, word by word:

"The word 'soak' sounds a bit frivolous, I don't like it. I prefer the word 'get closer.' Sister, may I get closer to you?"

"Ugh~~"

Meng Yuxuan raised her hand to cover her mouth and involuntarily gagged.

The deep affection on Xu Pingsheng's face froze instantly, and he blurted out:

"Are you pregnant?"

Meng Yuxuan clutched her chest, and it seemed like it took her a long time to recover.

She immediately rolled her eyes at Xu Pingsheng, her watery eyes slightly raised, and retorted mercilessly:

"No, it's that you disgust me."

"..." Xu Pingsheng's lips twitched slightly.

What the hell!

It seems we've met our match!

However, he is now completely certain that Meng Yuxuan is most likely a naive and innocent girl who has been overprotected and only knows how to cultivate.

Even when disguised as an old woman, she is full of flaws. Her appearance is flawless, but her movements, expressions, and dialogue are all those of a young girl.

This suggests that this was the first time she had pretended to be this old, and it was obvious that she was after him.

Since that's the case, let's go for it.

She might not lose money, but I definitely made a killing!

[Ding! Host's confession was rejected. Compensation reward: 10 years of cultivation points]

"Cough cough~~"

Meng Yuxuan seemed to realize that her behavior was not in line with the status of an old woman, so she quickly coughed a few times before narrowing her eyes and saying:

"My elder sister once said that all men in the world are honest only when they are hung on the wall, and that there is not a single good one among them. Now it seems that this is indeed true."

"Just two hours ago you were professing your love for our sect's holy maiden in the square, causing quite a stir. Now you're openly flirting with an ugly old woman like me. You must be starving..."

"Do you think that young and beautiful saintesses are hard to fool, but old, blind women are easy to fool?"

Xu Pingsheng: "..."

He really wanted to say, "Yeah, I think you're easier to fool than Wen Lingxi!"

But thinking about it is one thing; saying it out loud is another.

After a pause, Meng Yuxuan continued:

"You're so old, yet you're still confessing your feelings to a young girl, aren't you ashamed? By the way, how old are you?"

"40...!"

Xu Pingsheng held his head high and puffed out his chest; his face practically screamed "I can't believe it!"

I'm proud!

"Huh?" Meng Yuxuan exclaimed in surprise, covering her mouth with her hands and glancing down involuntarily.

spit!

He immediately spat inwardly, his face darkening: "I meant age!!!!"

"Oh~~" Xu Pingsheng pretended to suddenly realize something, "Age? Exactly 496!"

"Oh, then you should indeed call me...Grandma Sister," Meng Yuxuan's lips curved into a slight smile, her eyes revealing a hint of curiosity:

"With such low cultivation level, such advanced age, and still a menial servant, how dare you confess your love for the Holy Maiden in front of most of the sect's disciples? Aren't you afraid of losing face? Aren't you worried about being beaten to death?"

Upon hearing this, Xu Pingsheng slapped his chest with his withered hand, causing his clothes to flutter loudly and revealing his eight-pack abs:

"Sister, you are mistaken! How could I be such an ignorant and arrogant person as to dare to harbor even the slightest disrespectful thought towards Her Highness the Holy Maiden?"

His eyes were clear and firm, and his tone became increasingly impassioned.

"Ye Han confessed his love to the Holy Maiden right to her face. How absurd! The Holy Maiden is an ice spirit, carrying the future hope of the Immortal Palace. How can she be hindered by romantic feelings?"

"She is always gentle and delicate, with a face as thin as a cicada's wing. A direct refusal might damage the harmony, and I'm even more afraid that people will say she's heartless. Although I am just a lowly servant with low cultivation, I know that the honor and disgrace of the Immortal Palace are above all else. How can I just stand by and watch the Holy Maiden fall into a dilemma?"

At this point, his chest heaved violently, as if he had exhausted all his strength, yet his words remained firm and resounding: "I stepped forward today only to help the Holy Maiden out of her predicament."

"Her refusal of me is reasonable and will not affect her prestige in the slightest. Secondly, it allows her to publicly express her single-minded focus on cultivation, thus dispelling the unrealistic dreams of the sect's disciples. Thirdly, it also shows the disciples that they should emulate Her Majesty, diligently cultivate, and contribute to the prosperity of our Guanghan Immortal Palace!"

"As for whether I'll be beaten to death..."

I only have one sentence to say—

"Since ancient times, no one has ever escaped death; let my loyal heart shine in history!"

"Huh?" Meng Yuxuan covered her mouth with both hands, her young heart completely stunned.

Even as the third palace master of the Immortal Palace, she hadn't thought of these things.

She never expected that an ordinary servant in the back mountains would stand at such a high vantage point and think about the future of the Guanghan Immortal Palace.

"Really?" Meng Yuxuan was still a little incredulous.

"Absolutely true!"

Xu Pingsheng patted his chest again, revealing his eight-pack abs.

Meng Yuxuan blushed and quickly turned her head away, but her big eyes couldn't help but glance over.

For some reason, she suddenly felt that this old man Xu was quite charming in other ways, in addition to his selfless dedication.

Broad shoulders, narrow waist, eight-pack abs, if only he looked a little younger, and shaved his beard...

Tsk tsk tsk~~

He reminds me a bit of the male protagonist in that novel under my pillow.

At this time.

Xu Pingsheng's back suddenly slumped, his previous imposing aura vanished, replaced by a look of desolation and bleakness.

His head was bowed, his voice choked with suppressed sobs, and his eyes were slightly red.

"To be honest, I've lived for over four hundred years, and I can count on one hand the number of times I've even had a proper conversation with a young lady, let alone held her hand. If it weren't for the instant connection we made today, I would never have said so much in my life..."

As she spoke, she raised her hand to wipe her face, and actually managed to squeeze out a few tears.

"My life, Xu Pingsheng, has been miserable. Before I was even born, I was imprisoned in a water dungeon for ten months. When I was born, I was even more severely muffled by the feet of a devil in a white coat because I made a little noise. I was so hungry that I weighed only six pounds. Waaaaah~~"

"Before the age of two, I wasn't allowed to speak, and I couldn't take care of myself. I was often incontinent, and I was constantly in tears. Whenever I closed my eyes, everything went dark..."

As he spoke, he stole glances at Meng Yuxuan.

Her fingers tightened slightly, her knuckles turning white from the force, and her once bright eyes gradually filled with a layer of mist.

Xu Pingsheng was secretly delighted and gave it another push:

"Later, I finally grew up, and then..."

"My father was an alcoholic, my mother was seriously ill, my younger sister was sold to a brothel, and I worked as a handyman while also taking my grandfather to and from school and caring for my grandmother during her postpartum period..."
