These fairies want me to deal with them every day.

94. My life with you.

Is there any point in doing this kind of thing?

Xu Qing didn't know either. It just seemed like no one else was doing it... so she decided to do it herself.

I haven't been of any help along the way, and when problems arose, I didn't have to lift a finger, even though it wouldn't have been of any use anyway.

Xu Qingtan initially thought that serving tea and water to that boy who claimed to be his senior brother but was actually just a scoundrel was like being tricked, a complete swindler.

But when she witnessed the duel in the bamboo forest and felt the immense sword intent, she realized that the value of some things truly cannot be measured by simple numbers.

Nothing is more real and important than what you have personally benefited from, learned from, and experienced.

Moreover, this applies to one's own situation.

The moment she saw Ji Xiangwan admit defeat, she suddenly understood a principle.

Ji Xiangwan is not invincible; he can even lose so miserably that he has to admit defeat himself.

Since he is not invincible and his talent is not so great that no one can restrain him, why should he have no hope of revenge?

Therefore, she will kill him.

To face this attitude squarely, Xu Qingtan felt that everything was necessary for his growth.

She started by doing small things around her and adjusting her mindset, so she took the initiative to do such things.

Don't overthink it, don't dream of instant success or reaching a remarkable level in one step. Be diligent and down-to-earth, and then stand before Ji Xiangwan with ten times the confidence. She will pierce his chest with a sword.

Then tell him how much effort he had put in to kill him.

In order to seek revenge, he was able to endure a great deal.

The thought that such a scene was possible gave Xu Qing a lot more motivation to work.

Xu Qingtan, who was busy with his work, seemed not to notice that under the bright starry sky, there was a tree not far behind him.

A young man, his eyes glazed over with drunkenness, leaned against a tree trunk, seemingly asleep yet still lucid, watching her actions.

Xu Qingtan didn't see any of this until he breathed a sigh of relief, wiped the sweat from his forehead with his sleeve, and turned around.

Seeing that incomparably handsome young man leaning against a tree, his peach blossom eyes, which could cause a lot of trouble and seemed capable of ruining the lives of every woman who saw him, were looking at him in a dreamy way.

Xu Qing was startled and felt a sense of panic.

It's okay to do the work secretly, but it seems especially embarrassing if this behavior is seen by the other party...

"you……"

Xu Qing put her hands behind her back, as if that would conceal something. No one can escape the ostrich mentality, even if it's a woman disguised as a man.

Wei Tu leaned against the tree, then lazily raised his eyes and glanced at her.

"Didn't you only know how to practice swordsmanship? Why are you doing this kind of thing?"

Xu Qing hesitated for a moment, stood still for a moment, and then spoke.

"Someone has to do this kind of thing, and I'm more suitable to do it."

He seems to be quite aware of his own identity.

Wei Tu thought for a moment, and without any mocking tone, said, "Even if it's left here, the Cangqing Sect will come and take care of it."

"There's no need. If you get up in the morning and this place hasn't been tidied up yet, it'll be annoying to see."

"Why are you being so well-behaved?"

Wei Tu was genuinely puzzled.

After all, no matter how you look at it... she doesn't seem like a girl who would be that sensible. More often than not, she's an ordinary girl who carries hatred, thinks she's precocious, but is actually quite naive in many ways.

Xu Qing glared at Wei Tu with annoyance.

"What do you mean by being obedient or not... I... well, there's nothing else I can do to help anyway."

"hehe."

Wei Tu smiled and then walked towards Xu Qingtan.

Xu Qing felt very uncomfortable with the way the other person approached, and subconsciously felt a sudden, inexplicable panic. So she lowered her head and tried to quickly go back to her room.

But to his surprise, when he tried to slip away, Wei Tu grabbed his wrist.

"you……"

The girl wanted to say something, her cheeks flushed red.

Could it be that he's been drinking... and wants to try something different, perhaps he's thinking of doing something to himself?

Wei Tu glanced at the girl, but there was no lust in his eyes that Xu Qingtan was worried about.

"Sit down and let's talk. There's no rush to go back."

You're not in a hurry... but I am!

But there seems to be nothing I can do; after all, he's my senior brother...

She had even taken his sword manual and watched all the scenes of him fighting. It seemed... it seemed like there wouldn't be any problem offering herself in return... etc.

What am I thinking?

Are you out of your mind, Xu Qingtan?! He hasn't even been lusting after you yet, and you're already thinking about these things?!

The girl, her mind in turmoil, didn't know where she was, so she sat down on a chair.

Wei Tu sat with her, watching the moonlight and starlight reflect each other.

He said calmly.

"If you want revenge, you'd better hurry up."

But the other party suddenly brought up serious business.

Xu Qing was stunned for a moment, "What do you mean?"

Wei Tu put it more clearly, "Beixuan Prefecture is close to the Northern Desert Demon Realm, and the information I have is that Ji Xiangwan's Yihua Palace has a close relationship with the Northern Desert Demon Realm. Do you know what that means?"

"...You mean, they might be collaborating with those demons? That's something the Five Immortal Continents can't tolerate..."

Xu Qingtan clearly didn't quite believe the news.

But Wei Tu told her, "Things are different now. There's no such thing as tolerance now. There are behind-the-scenes manipulators. Everyone is just acting for their own interests. Just like what Ji Xiangwan said before she left, the world is about to descend into chaos."

"What does this have to do with my revenge?"

"He'll probably get involved. In that case, there are only two outcomes: either he fails with them, or he succeeds with them. Do you think you still have a chance for revenge with your current strength?"

"..."

Xu Qing understood, but what could she do?

Do you think you can just become powerful overnight by wishing for it? Do you think everyone is as twisted as you?

"It may come later, but you also hope that you will defeat him with your own hands and then kill him with your own hands."

"Ah."

Xu Qing lowered his head, appearing somewhat dejected.

Wei Tu thought for a moment and said, "Although I have always used revenge as your motivation, I don't really agree with your behavior of making revenge your goal in everything."

“I couldn’t help it. To me, he is the culprit behind all the disasters. I could have had a happy family. I didn’t have to come to Xianzhou alone. I could have waited until the right age to get married and raise children. I could have…”

Too many things are meant to be, but are ultimately regrettable because they cannot be obtained.

Wei Tu calmly said, "Think about it carefully. Aside from your parents' situation, do you really want your life to be the way you imagine it to be? Is that really what you want?"

"..."

Husband and child.

A virtuous wife and loving mother.

She was just an ordinary woman in the human world, who might have experienced war and other calamities, just like her parents.

Is this what I think?

of course not!

After arriving in the Immortal Continent, the girl realized a truth that was even more real: her destiny was in her own hands. Only by having a sword in her hand and power of her own could she control her own life, live more freely and unrestrainedly, and not have to care about other people's opinions!

What is "supporting one's husband and raising children"?

What's the point of a so-called ordinary life?

Putting aside all that hatred, I am still a young girl in the prime of her life. I may have beautiful fantasies about love, but I definitely don't want to be immersed in the mundane details of daily life in my teens.

She didn't want to, she didn't want to. How could she bear such a life after coming to the Immortal Continent?

Wei Tu seemed to have gotten the answer from the expression on the girl's face.

He smiled and said, "See, that's not what you thought."

"But……"

"There's no 'but' about it. From any perspective, enjoying life and pursuing a better, freer life is absolutely not shameful. But you need to think about how to achieve it. So I hope that your motivation for the future is not just revenge. You should also understand that this is just a stage in the beginning of your new life. Ji Xiangwan's death is just the opening of the door to a new world for you."

Wei Tu's words were like opening a window to the sky for him.

More gentle breezes dispelled the fog of hatred.

It's as if I'm telling myself that life doesn't have to be so bitter and resentful.

It's okay to hold onto hatred, but we shouldn't be blind to the many beautiful things around us either. However...

Why are you telling me all this?

He's obviously so lazy, so why is he saying all this to me? Is it just to satisfy his habit of spouting grand principles?

Wei Tu thought for a moment, "There's no reason why... it's just that kind people always hope that the people around them can live a better life."

"You're still kind..."

Xu Qing muttered to himself, but unfortunately, he lacked confidence.

Wei Tu smiled. "Am I not kind enough? Would I let you into Little Iris Peak?"
