These fairies want me to deal with them every day.

A carpet of pink petals lay scattered on the ground, and she sat quietly in her seat, her beautiful face and slightly lowered eyes captivating.

Even her black hair looked so smooth.

Sitting there, it's like a beautiful painting.

Wei Tu couldn't help but stand by and watch for a long time, unwilling to break the scene.

However, the other party noticed him first.

Lu Qingyan looked up and saw Wei Tu standing at the gate of the courtyard. To the boy's surprise, Lu Qingyan looked at him with a slight smile this time.

It seemed as if one could sense... that this woman welcomed their arrival.

"You've arrived."

Wei Tu smiled, nodded, and walked over.

"Hmm, I was thinking of coming to pay my respects to Master so early in the morning... Is Master reading a book?"

Lu Qingyan nodded and closed the book.

"Um……"

"It seems like this is quite rare. Why has Master suddenly taken to reading?"

Wei Tu asked with a smile.

Lu Qingyan blushed slightly, knowing that as a master, she was still less knowledgeable than her disciple, which was somewhat embarrassing.

"I've recently sensed that the shackles of the Divine Realm are being touched... I lack experience, so I'm thinking of reading some books and learning from the experiences of those who came before me to prepare..."

Lu Qingyan was quite honest.

Wei Tu thought for a moment.

"It seems the body tempering is very effective; even Master can now sense the edge of the Divine Realm..."

"Hmm...it is indeed quite effective."

Lu Qingyan said she would no longer be stubborn and arrogant, and that was indeed the case. Now she admitted that the body-strengthening exercise was indeed very effective for her.

Her cheeks, however, were the first to turn red, much to her dismay.

Because admitting to such a thing means that if Wei Tu continues to use the excuse of body training to take liberties with her, she will have no reason to refuse.

Although it seems... Lu Qingyan didn't really want to refuse.

"Hehe, that's good. I thought it was useless. Master's cultivation level has been stuck for so long."

Lu Qingyan, however, was quite content.

"Actually, it hasn't been that long. Being able to sense the edge of the God-Gazing Realm is quite surprising for someone my age. Not many people can have such an experience at this age."

"Oh, is Master showing off? I see, I see, my Master is really amazing."

"...That's not what I meant."

Lu Qingyan's face flushed instantly, as if she were extremely ashamed.

What's wrong with me?

Why would someone suddenly feel the urge to show off in front of their apprentice...?

Wei Tu looked at Lu Qingyan curiously, "Didn't Master want me to think that Master's talent is amazing and incredibly powerful?"

Lu Qingyan glared at the boy who was still causing trouble.

That's not what I meant!

"What does that mean?"

Wei Tu wasn't afraid at all, and asked with a smile.

Lu Qingyan turned her face away, her pink cheeks even more beautiful than peach blossoms.

"I just don't want you to feel like all your efforts are in vain..."

Wei Tu's smile gradually faded, and his voice became gentle and tender.

"It's alright. As long as it's useful to Master, it's all worth it. Besides... I didn't do anything."

"Haven't you done anything yet? You're almost exhausted every time. The physical training takes a toll on you just as much as it does on me. I've even slowed down your cultivation. Otherwise, with your talent, you'd probably have reached the Divine Realm much sooner, right?"

The woman, who seems to think little and always rejects the young man's kindness, actually knows everything and understands everything perfectly.

It's just that most of the time, they are unwilling to admit it due to the master-disciple relationship.

Wei Tu shook his head, looking at Lu Qingyan's slightly remorseful expression.

"No, that's not true. The consumption of these things has nothing to do with my cultivation level. Actually, as you can see, Master, I haven't put much effort into cultivating my cultivation level so far, so you don't have to blame yourself for this. I've always been a lazy person."

"No, that's not true. You used to work very hard..."

Lu Qingyan said softly, thinking about the boy's past. Despite facing so much slander behind his back, he still silently cultivated, diligent and hardworking.

But reality seems so ridiculous.

When he worked so hard, his cultivation level remained stuck at the Foundation Establishment stage, but now he seems so relaxed, yet his strength is constantly improving, even spreading at an exaggerated speed.

Everyone is telling every young person to work hard, but fate always tells everyone that hard work seems to be useless.

Wei Tu smiled and shook his head.

"The past is the past. Its purpose is to settle in my heart, so that I will occasionally think of those years. When I think of them, I don't feel so tired now, but only feel warm."

"So that's how it is..."

Lu Qingyan seemed to understand but not quite.

Wei Tu nodded. "That's right. Past experiences are all preparation, like a gambler... Once you sit at the table, these past experiences become your chips. You have the chance to win a bigger prize, but you may also lose everything."

"Why describe life as a gamble... It sounds really bad."

Lu Qingyan said softly, her beautiful brows furrowing slightly. She really didn't like this description, no matter how similar or reasonable it was, it would still seem too cold and direct.

It's as if the world has lost all humanity.

Wei Tu nodded, "Then I won't describe it like that next time. Do whatever Master likes."

"He's spouting this nonsense again... Such a smooth talker."

Lu Qingyan looked at Wei Tu with a hint of disdain, but the young man liked that expression very much.

With a smile, he said, "Don't you like a glib-tongued master?"

Lu Qingyan snorted coldly, "Of course I don't like it. One should be sincere, not cunning and deceitful."

"Don't worry, I'm only cunning and deceitful towards enemies; I'm completely honest with my master."

"And what you just did..."

"Because that was the truth."

Wei Tu stared intently at Lu Qingyan, the brilliance in his eyes seemingly impossible to conceal. The power of this young man's direct gaze was always so striking.

So much so that Lu Qingyan seemed to be unable to say anything more for a moment.

She turned her head away.

Wei Tu carefully observed her expression.

Seeing Lu Qingyan's cheeks growing increasingly red, as if on fire.

"Stop looking..."

The woman finally couldn't help but mutter.

Wei Tu shook his head, "I can never get enough of looking at it."

Lu Qingyan lowered her head slightly.

"Your appearance will fade, and people will die. There's no such thing as someone who never ages or dies. In the future, you won't find anything attractive anymore."

Wei Tu shook his head.

"It won't be like that. Even in the future, when everyone is old, when I look at you, Master, I will remember this day. I will think of your face as it was, and I will marvel at how long we have been together. Thinking about it this way, it doesn't matter whether we get old or not."

Lu Qingyan was actually quite pleased with what she was told.

Every woman fears growing old, especially when you have someone you cherish.

But in front of this boy, time seemed to have no meaning.

Promises made by young people often seem unreliable, and it seems that changing course is a very common thing. But in Lu Qingyan's eyes, there seems to be no one who knows how to cherish things more than this young man.

He... seems to cherish the present more than anyone else.

Lu Qingyan thought of the dream Wei Tu had mentioned. Was it because of that dream?

Whether it is or not doesn't matter anymore. As long as he is still Wei Tu, as long as he is still in front of me, all these trivial details are actually irrelevant.

"You..."

Lu Qingyan sighed, then smiled helplessly, but her smile was so beautiful.

"What instructions do you have for me, Master?"

Wei Tu asked with a smile.

Lu Qingyan laughed too, "You need to work hard on your cultivation level. If I reach the Divine Gazing Realm, maybe I'll meet a Celestial Emperor or something and just marry him if I find him pleasing to the eye..."

"Master, this is a provocation."

Wei Tu narrowed his eyes.

Lu Qingyan nodded. "So, try harder for your master. I know you're tired, but I want you to let me be a little more reckless."

Wei Tu stared blankly at Lu Qingyan.

The woman stood up, her cheeks flushed, and tapped Wei Tu on the head with her book.

"Don't overthink it..."

Wei Tu turned around.

Is this considered a promise?

Lu Qingyan paused for a moment.
