These fairies want me to deal with them every day.

Su Mi breathed a small sigh of relief. She always felt nervous in front of her elders, perhaps because she was not as diligent in her cultivation as her other fellow disciples, yet her realm was rising at an astonishing speed, which made her feel guilty and always thought she would be reprimanded.

Lin Ruoyin clearly noticed the girl's little movements and looked at her.

"Su Mi, are you nervous?"

Su Mi looked at Lin Ruoyin in a panic, feeling somewhat at a loss.

At that moment, Wei Tu took the girl's hand in his own.

Su Mi blushed and glanced at Wei Tu, but the young man smiled and nodded at her.

Seeing Lin Ruoyin's indifferent expression, Su Mi finally calmed down.

"Yes, Master... there is a bit."

Why are you nervous?

"This disciple thought... Master was going to reprimand this disciple..."

Su Mi spoke the truth.

Why would you think I'm going to lecture you?

"Because...because I don't usually study hard...at least not as hard as my other fellow students..."

"As long as you know."

Lin Ruoyin nodded, but then changed the subject.

"But your talent is undeniable. So how you cultivate is up to you. Being diligent will only bring benefits, and being a little lazy won't do any harm. You can rest assured about that."

"Is that so... Thank you, Master."

Su Mi nodded quickly and said.

Lin Ruoyin shook her head, "I didn't call you here to talk about this."

"What is that, Master..."

Lin Ruoyin did not speak immediately, but looked at the handsome young man who was still holding the girl's hand.

"Wei Tu, what do you think?"

Wei Tu grinned, revealing his teeth, "How could I possibly know what Uncle Lin is thinking... naturally I wouldn't know."

Lin Ruoyin, however, keenly observed the boy. "But I feel like you know something. If you're unwilling to say, then I'll be frank. I'm doing this for the sake of the two of you."

Upon hearing this, Su Mi was startled.

Because she knew that her master had never liked men like Wei Tu. It wasn't because of Wei Tu's strength or realm. Looking at the entire Yuanjian Sect, Wei Tu was no longer the top young disciple. In fact, many elders were not as strong as him.

It was because there were too many rumors about Wei Tu, and at a glance, there were quite a few women with ambiguous and intimate relationships with him, so naturally a lot of these rumors reached Lin Ruoyin's ears.

Many disciples knew that what Lin Ruoyin hated most was fickle, unreliable men who were always looking for something better... especially someone like Wei Tu who made no attempt to hide it, which she disliked even more.

Therefore, Su Mi instinctively believed that Lin Ruoyin was going to confront them, warn them about their relationship, and create new obstacles for their relationship.

"Master, Master...we..."

Su Mi seemed to want to say something.

But Lin Ruoyin looked at the girl.

"What? You two are already having an affair?"

Su Mi's pretty face instantly turned red. "Master...you...how did you know?"

Lin Ruoyin said irritably, "Your master does have that much skill." Although she herself had no experience, Lin Ruoyin was a woman who loved reading.

There's always some strange and unusual knowledge that pops into our view, and there's nothing we can do about it.

"Oh……"

Su Mi nodded and said hesitantly.

Lin Ruoyin sighed.

"What do you think if Master doesn't approve of your relationship?"

Su Mi was stunned for a moment, but she gripped the boy's hand tightly, biting her lip and almost squeezing out a sound.

“Master… I have decided that he is the one for me for the rest of my life, no… I will not change my mind and I have never thought about separating.”

Lin Ruoyin's suddenly sharp gaze seemed to convey immense pressure.

"Even if it's a choice between staying with him and leaving Xuejian Peak?"

"Master..."

Su Mi's eyes instantly reddened.

But Lin Ruoyin continued, "Even if you and I no longer have a master-disciple relationship, and from now on we're just strangers when we meet?"

Su Mi stood there blankly, her eyes red and her body almost trembling.

"Master, I don't want to..."

"But what if we really have to make a choice?"

Su Mi was a person who valued loyalty and gratitude. She would never forget the woman's kindness in raising her and her dedication to teaching her spiritual practice.

but……

but……

Tears almost welled up in my eyes instantly.

"Uncle Lin, stop teasing her. I'm starting to feel sorry for her."

Suddenly, a voice interrupted.

Su Mi stared in astonishment at the calmly speaking boy beside her.

Then, as if he understood something, he stared blankly at the woman whose expression was almost frozen.

Lin Ruoyin suddenly smiled.

"Yes, if I keep asking, I'll probably soften first. After all, between me and the sect and you... she'll still choose you. Women, because of love, are always blind; they can give up everything else."

"Master..."

Su Mi wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes and called out softly to the other person.

Lin Ruoyin waved her hand.

"Alright, let's not talk about that anymore. Let me just tell you why I called you here. Actually, I wanted to discuss something with you..."

She paused.

Then a smile appeared, but it seemed to contain something else, something inexplicably eerie.

"Your marriage."

"Huh?" PS: I didn't update yesterday, so I'm updating a little earlier today. Also, please vote!

8. How did the Shura Field come about?

"marriage?!"

Su Mi was startled when she heard those words and didn't come to her senses for a long time.

Wei Tu stood still, squinting as he stared at Lin Ruoyin. He seemed to suddenly understand her intention.

He didn't speak immediately.

Lin Ruoyin nodded and said, "Yes, it's about your marriage. What? You've come this far, haven't you thought about getting married or anything like that?"

Su Mi asked blankly and subconsciously.

"But...we're in the Immortal Continent, not the mortal realm...why not just become Daoist partners...? Do we really need to get married?"

Daoist partners are the only generally recognized relationship between men and women in the Immortal Continent. For the mortal world, marriage may have become a tool. Too many people are not in control of their own lives. How many can truly respect each other and live in harmony?

Therefore, there is no such rule in the Immortal Continent. Everyone is free and at ease. It is not that men and women cannot survive without each other. Daoist partners are not bound together for thousands of years and have a relationship that will never change.

Because of the difference in strength and realm, countless people parted ways and began to seek better opportunities elsewhere. It wasn't always men who abandoned women; the reverse was also quite common.

Therefore, being together as a Daoist couple seems to be a more comfortable way for cultivators. At least the two are together because of temporary pleasure, and there will not be too much burden in the future, so they will not be restricted by each other.

Lin Ruoyin looked at Su Mi.

"That's true, but since you've already decided that he's the one you'll spend your life with, what's the difference between marriage and being a Daoist couple? You're my disciple, and naturally I want you to enjoy more. Don't you have any confidence in your relationship?"

Su Mi was stunned for a moment, looking at Wei Tu beside her. The young man just smiled and didn't say anything.

"But...it's strange, isn't it...no one else has this problem, but we do..."

"Let's not talk about that yet. You don't even know if the man next to you is willing."

"Of course, this disciple is willing to marry my junior sister."

Wei Tu answered calmly.

Su Mi stared wide-eyed at Wei Tu, who spoke these words with composure and strength.

It seems one can sense the profound, understated power within the boy's words.

Lin Ruoyin stared at Wei Tu.

"A formal marriage is acceptable? Following human customs is also fine?"

Wei Tu nodded, gripped the girl's hand tightly, and never let go.

"It doesn't matter. It's what she deserves. Besides, I'm happy to be with my junior sister in this way. In fact, I owe her more, so it's not excessive. I'm willing to do anything."

The boy's words prompted the girl next to him to clasp his hands together.

Looking at the calm, smiling boy, looking at his face.

She sensed no bluffing whatsoever; his sincerity seemed to overflow from his eyes.

Lin Ruoyin looked at Wei Tu.

"Many people speak with utmost sincerity and conviction. But when things happen and difficulties arise, few people remember their promises; they only think about their own interests and safety."
