These fairies want me to deal with them every day.

This has been proven by facts; the success of the concentric pattern proves that... the two people's hearts are indeed connected, and Wei Tu was not lying about this.

By the time we descended the mountain, it was already evening.

Wei Tu composed himself, his emotions briefly in turmoil, and walked down the mountain path.

As soon as I came down, I saw Su Mi, whose eyes were red, standing right on the suspension bridge.

Wei Tu walked over and looked at the girl.

"what happened?"

Su Mi turned her head, and Wei Tu could tell that she had been crying.

The girl whispered, "Senior Sister Bai is gone."

Wei Tu pretended not to know, "Ah...when did you leave? Where did you go?"

But Su Mi, seeing the look in his eyes, immediately saw through him.

"Come on, you knew all along, didn't you?"

Wei Tu immediately denied it.

"How could that be... I was busy teaching those young people swordsmanship, how would I know? It doesn't seem like you sisters have such a deep bond..."

Su Mi hummed and hawed.

"Senior Sister left Xuejian Peak and didn't leave the sect for a long time. Do you dare say she wasn't looking for you?"

"...I don't think so."

Wei Tu gazed at the abyss below the suspension bridge.

Because of Ruoyuan's forced resurrection last time, the dead zone under the Yuanjian Sect's suspension bridge has completely disappeared. All the usable spiritual energy and the unusable death energy have been completely absorbed by her. Now, the area below is just like any other valley, with nothing special about it.

Su Mi didn't say anything more to complain, she just sighed.

"You don't need to deny it. Do you think I can't tell? Girls, especially those as familiar as me, always have a very accurate intuition about these things. Senior Sister Bai's last person to say goodbye to will definitely be you... But it doesn't matter. She has more important things to do. Otherwise, she would never be willing to leave Yuanjian Sect, right?"

Wei Tu stopped dwelling on the previous topic and stopped trying to defend himself. Since the other party had confirmed it, he no longer needed to go to great lengths to deceive them.

Besides, the truth will come out sooner or later, and then it will only be embarrassing for them, so there's really no need for it.

"It's not just her; many people have to leave their hometowns for unavoidable reasons, but it's okay. After all, it's their hometown, and they will always come back."

"Can the Abyss Sword Sect be considered my hometown?"

Su Mi asked curiously.

Wei Tu nodded. "It seems that no one was born here, and their parents' hometowns are not here. But I think this is probably the most humane sect in the entire Immortal Continent. As the saying goes, 'Where my heart is at peace is my home,' so why can't it be called home?"

Su Mi nodded thoughtfully.

"Would you also leave your hometown for some reason?"

"Maybe, but... it's definitely for you."

Su Mi looked at Wei Tu and sighed.

"Ugh."

Why are you sighing?

Question: What's it like to marry a man who is too capable?

Wei Tu couldn't help but laugh.

"And the answer?"

"A woman follows her husband wherever he goes, whether he marries a chicken or a dog."

You're calling me a dog?

Wei Tu looked at her, feigning anger.

Su Mi smiled and said, "No way?"

Wei Tu thought for a moment, "It's not impossible. If I'm a dog, then you're a dog..."

"?"

"Cough cough."

Wei Tu wouldn't stoop to using such vulgar language.

It came to an abrupt end.

Su Mi snorted coldly, then took the initiative to extend her hand.

Wei Tu looked at her fair palm, then reached out and grasped it.

The girl smiled and said, "Let me take you home."

Yes, now that the two of them have a home together, I don't know why, but thinking about it makes me feel genuinely satisfied.

Perhaps they already knew in advance where their destined home was.

As night fell, Su Mi proved with her actions that women are indeed quite vengeful creatures.

The bed frame creaked and groaned.

The girl transforms into a female knight galloping freely on the battlefield, and Wei Tu is naturally the horse.

It's not that it was very uncomfortable, and of course there was no distinction of status or hierarchy.

On the contrary, Wei Tu enjoyed it, not only because it was relaxing, but also because he could naturally see the girl's charm being fully expressed.

They also have time to pick fresh fruit, which makes them very happy.

Wei Tu didn't understand why the other party was being so proactive and enthusiastic at first.

Until she was finally unable to move, only able to catch her breath, she lay on top of him, laughing and whispering in his ear.

"Look... I'm not a dog... I'm a... you know... dog..."

Wei Tu was both amused and exasperated. Good heavens.

She's quite skilled at choosing words and constructing sentences.

The day before Qichen was to go to the mortal realm, Wei Tu spent some time explaining his destination to a few people in the sect.

He also instructed these people to take good care of themselves and the affairs of the sect.

Although I didn't pay much attention to these things when I was on the mountain.

On a rainy day, Wei Tu left Yuanjian Sect with Shen Tu.

No one came to see them off, and of course, such a grand affair was unnecessary. In Mu Xitong's words...

"This kid travels around every few days. If we saw him off every day, the stone path at the mountain gate would be worn out."

Wei Tu thought to himself, "Where could such an exaggerated thing be?"

Is it only every few days? Shouldn't he come back to rest and enjoy himself?

Along the familiar route, I saw some birds with strange-looking feathers carrying pebbles and dropping them into the sea.

"Why are there more and more of them... Not only can they be transmitted from humans to birds, but they can also be transmitted from bird to bird, right?"

These are also strange behaviors that I can't understand for the time being.

Upon arriving in Jiuyang City and reaching the familiar inn, I found that, as expected, neither the sharp-tongued waiter nor the other guests who seemed vaguely familiar to me paid any special attention to me.

Besides deliberately concealing his aura from the Immortal Continent, it also proved that those influences were becoming increasingly clear and disappearing.

They truly don't remember themselves.

But that's for the best, at least they won't remember the suffering they endured.

Wei Tu planned to have a drink and a bite to eat before setting off on his journey, with no intention of lingering here.

But suddenly I heard a few people at the next table talking loudly and casually.

"Have you heard? Something terrible has happened in Chaoge City!"

Upon hearing this, Wei Tu took notice. This was most likely related to Ye Bingluan's summons to the mortal realm. It seemed unlikely that the Empress had told a lie specifically to get him to come to her.

"What's going on? I've been working in the fields every day lately, I'm so tired, I don't have time to pay attention to these things."

You work hard all day and then come here to drink heavily, right...?

"That's right... A relative of mine who lives in Chaoge wrote to me a few days ago saying... Just seven days ago, a caravan entered Chaoge City in a grand procession. You wouldn't believe how extravagant the scene was. One caravan... more than twenty boxes! And they weren't accompanied by horses, but elephants! My goodness, it's said that when they entered the city gates that day, the jewels and precious stones soared into the sky, illuminating the heavens!"

"That's a good description. Why don't you go and become a storyteller?" Wei Tu took a sip of wine.

"What's so strange about that? They're just some unknown merchant. Everyone knows that our Great Shang Dynasty is rich in natural treasures and has a vast territory. It's nothing unusual. At most, they're just a little richer."

No, if it really is that bad, then it certainly deserves our attention.

"You're being narrow-minded! On the surface, he may appear to be a merchant, but my cousin got some information from a friend of his who guards the palace!"

"Your cousin's friend...? You have quite the network of information."

Indeed, I would like to say that too.

"Never mind that, but I'm one of the few people who know the inside story... Do you know the real purpose of these people bringing so many good things here?"

So why can't you just say it directly? Why keep us in suspense?

"Hurry up and say it! You've been hesitating for ages!"

"Yeah, anyone who didn't know better would think you were just faking it!"

"Ahem, these people are said to come from somewhere in the southwest... They are said to be militarily strong and rich in resources, and their ultimate goal is to help their king find a wife!"

"Propose marriage? Propose to whom? Your cousin-in-law?"

"Go to hell! Of course it's our Emperor! He's been on the throne for so long, and he doesn't even have an Empress, let alone a single concubine. Isn't that giving others an opportunity to take advantage of him?"

Wei Tu frowned and put down his wine glass.

This woman... she really knows how to get herself into trouble.

But to the southwest... a country rich in resources...?

Wei Tu put down his wine glass, got up to pay the bill, and then left Jiuyang City, heading towards Chaoge. PS: No extra update today. I was planning to sleep in this morning, but that mentally challenged kid across from me was yelling and screaming all morning; I was about to call the police. I can only share my new book with you all. It's a masterpiece! Some readers have asked: Peach, what's the name of your new book? It's called "Dual Cultivation is Okay, But Why Should I Date You?"
