These fairies want me to deal with them every day.

"coming."

She said that.

"Hmm, why choose such a late time? There are familiar faces in the courtyard anyway, so we can just come in."

Wei Tu walked over and casually sat down next to her.

The woman removed her straw hat, revealing her as beautiful face as ever, though her smile showed signs of thinning.

She shook her head. "It's not appropriate now, and... my master is inside too. I really want to see her, but I don't dare to say a word to her."

"Then why don't you just leave me a note? You're quite bold, Senior Sister Bai."

Bai Youwei's cheeks flushed slightly.

This young woman, who had been away from the Yuanjian Sect for almost two months, was now like a wandering female knight-errant.

Lightly dressed in a straw hat, covered in dust and slightly thin, he exuded a stronger and more independent aura.

"You have the nerve to say that? I originally wanted to sneak you out, but you lecherous bastard, don't you know what you've been up to?"

Wei Tu thought for a moment, "You misunderstood, I was just helping my senior sister fold clothes."

"hehe."

Bai Youwei sneered, "Anyway, you're the kind of person who always has a romantic affair wherever you go, and I can't control that..."

"So you've said all that?"

"you……"

Bai Youwei glared at the boy resentfully, then saw his gentle smile.

It seemed that all the anger had vanished in an instant.

There's just no way to deal with this boy; seeing his smile always seems to erase all the hardships and exhaustion of the journey.

She couldn't help but say.

"Now I finally understand why I had to find you."

People always feel tired and confused from time to time.

For some people, just seeing them is the best cure. PS: I'll update one chapter first, then go to sleep. I'll try to update twice later~~ It snowed today, it's so cold, I'm freezing.

79. A single sword can deliver you.

"You came all this way just to meet me?"

Wei Tu smiled and looked at Bai Youwei beside her.

The moonlight bathed the young woman; she was already beautiful and needed no further embellishment from the moonlight.

Bai Youwei's skirt fluttered gently in the breeze. She reached out, tucked a strand of her hair behind her ear, and then turned to look at the boy.

"Meeting once is enough. It's still a chance now, but it might be difficult to meet even once in the future."

Clearly, Bai Youwei had prepared for the worst.

This might be the last time we see each other, who knows? But... if so, then let's take one last, deep look.

Wei Tu looked into her eyes and knew what she was probably thinking.

The boy didn't like those sad eyes; they reminded Wei Tu of his past life.

Lu Qingyan saw her one last time. Her words when they parted were so light, but at the time, she didn't understand the meaning in her eyes. After that, they were separated by distance, and there was no longer any chance to regret it.

"Don't say discouraging things, your journey has only just begun."

Wei Tu said this, and threw a pebble into the pond in front of him.

With a thud.

The frog croaked and hopped away.

Ripples spread out across the water's surface before returning to calm.

"But having traveled this route, from Nan Jianzhou to Guang Shenzhou, I have seen a lot."

"what?"

“I saw an old man on Ming Mountain split a boulder in two with a wooden stick. I also saw two powerful figures dueling by West Moon Lake. With just one strike, one of them was beheaded. Then I realized more clearly that there are always people stronger than you in this world. In many situations, I am so weak that I am not even worth mentioning.”

She sighed softly, but there wasn't much worry in her eyes.

Wei Tu smiled and asked, "So, are you still planning to continue?"

"Of course I have to keep going. Having seen these magnificent sights and realized my own insignificance, I understand even more that if I never venture into certain dangers in my life, I will never become strong. The more afraid I am, the weaker I become."

"Should I congratulate you on your successful enlightenment?"

"Is this what enlightenment is?"

Bai Youwei couldn't help but laugh, her shoulder gently bumping into Wei Tu's arm.

Wei Tu nodded and said, "Enlightenment is not some mysterious thing. Sometimes, it's just a matter of understanding a single thought, finally untying a knot in one's heart, and things like that."

"Have you attained enlightenment?"

Seemingly quite interested, Bai Youwei asked with a smile.

Wei Tu looked thoughtful, then said, "I realized it a long time ago."

"Is this why you suddenly became so amazing?"

Bai Youwei was, of course, aware of some of the rumors about this boy, how dull-witted and slow-witted he was, but how one day he defeated Li Hanyang, who was more famous at the time, with a single move.

After that, everything about him seemed mysterious and unbelievable.

It seemed that nothing could stop him from moving forward.

Wei Tu thought for a moment, "You could say that, but just understanding isn't enough. As you said, you have to see, you have to fight, you have to take action, you have to kill. These are all things you should experience."

Bai Youwei sighed softly, looking at the crescent moon that was faintly visible in the clouds on the horizon, and asked softly.

"What will I become in the future?"

Do you think life and experiences will change you?

Wei Tu asked this question.

Bai Youwei nodded. "Although I hate to admit it, you know that I'm not the most resolute person, nor the most willing to go all out. Most of the time, I hesitate and look back. Even leaving Yuanjian Sect took me a long time to decide. If I hadn't made up my mind to push myself and leave Yuanjian Sect directly, I don't know how many years it would have taken me to leave the territory of Nanjian Prefecture."

Wei Tu shook his head. "Hesitation isn't a bad thing; it shows your caution. Sometimes, acting rashly in one go isn't good. But that's not what I'm talking about."

"What's that?"

"Don't always think about what kind of person life will turn you into, or you'll be playing with fate. Understand what kind of person you want to become, and then change everything around you."

Bai Youwei lowered her eyes slightly.

"But you know, it's hard. It's easy to say it, but it's often a different story to do it."

Wei Tu nodded. "Of course I know it will be difficult, but I also know you will do it."

Bai Youwei turned her head, her eyes bright and rippling, like the moonlight reflected in a pond.

How do you know?

Wei Tu looked into her eyes.

"I had a dream."

"Dream?"

"Hmm... In this dream, I saw you, a more beautiful, more mature, and more wonderful version of you."

Bai Youwei's cheeks flushed slightly, but her gaze remained fixed on the boy's eyes.

"So...did I succeed? Did I avenge my parents? Did I become the lord of the Northern Desert Demon Realm?"

Wei Tu shook his head. "I didn't see any of that. What I did see was that you are alive and well, smiling at me without any regrets. I think... it's not necessarily that you did what you wanted to do, but you must have made a choice that you won't regret."

Bai Youwei was silent for a moment, then moved to the boy's side and asked.

"Can I lean on you?"

"Of course, I'm currently completely naked."

The girl ignored Wei Tu's joke and leaned against him, feeling the familiar scent and warmth.

She whispered, "Thank you, even though I know you're lying to me, thank you very much."

Wei Tu chuckled to himself; it was indeed a lie to the girl.

Because in his previous life, he had hardly had any interaction with this woman, and he had never even heard of her future.

The so-called dream is even more illusory and ethereal; it is merely Wei Tu's prediction, a bet with her future.

"You're welcome. This is something you'll have to go through eventually, and it doesn't really concern me much."

"See, you're saying hurtful things again."

"Sigh, I really want to be full of sweet words, but if I do that, all my previous words will become worthless lies."

"Yes, it's good to be honest. You should also be honest with yourself."

"Ah."

"To be honest, I like you. What about you?"

Bai Youwei's eyelashes trembled slightly. She closed her legs and felt that part on her thighs... that part with his name on it, seemed slightly hot.

Wei Tu put his arm around her slender shoulders.

She smiled gently at the pond in front of her.

"I like you."

They leaned against each other under the waning moon and gentle breeze.

They didn't do anything, just relied on each other like this, as if on this night, this alone could provide the strength the other needed.

Even their words fell silent; only their heartbeats and their breaths remained still.
