These fairies want me to deal with them every day.

The girl managed to put her long hair up, but she couldn't get the hairpin in properly, perhaps because there was no mirror, or perhaps because of her unsettled state of mind.

"I'll do it."

Wei Tu took the hairpin from her hand.

The girl hesitated for a moment, but did not refuse. With her back to the boy, her graceful figure was somewhat tense.

The boy's fingers seemed to brush against the back of his hand unintentionally for a moment.

She felt an unusual electric current pass through her, flowing over her skin.

Quickly let go of her hand and stand gracefully in place.

Wei Tu could see that the other person was nervous, but he remained calm and had no romantic intentions, nor did he intend to offend the young girl.

The hairpin was inserted precisely into the smooth, black hair.

It felt as if I had sunk into a waterfall.

So her long hair once again took on the appearance of a man.

"Thank you, senior brother..."

The girl felt that the other person's hand had left and had not touched her body.

He did not take the opportunity to grope her.

Indeed, in this respect, he can be considered a gentleman...

Wei Tu waved his hand and smiled.

"It's alright. It's nothing."

Xu Qing turned around, her cheeks slightly flushed, her hands nervously clasped together behind her back.

She seemed to want to say something, yet also appeared hesitant to speak.

Wei Tu looked at her and asked in confusion.

"You seem to have something to say?"

"I……"

"It's okay, feel free to tell me if you need any help, although I may not be able to help."

“…Then I’ll tell you.”

Xu Qing took a deep breath.

Wei Tu became somewhat curious.

Could it be that this girl is hiding some secret?

What new mission is this a sign that is about to begin?

Wei Tu wasn't sure; he just sensed trouble.

"Senior brother..."

"Ok?"

The girl's cheeks flushed red, and then she tried to open her eyes wide to look at the boy.

"I will try my best to get first place in the sect's trial."

"Oh."

What is this? A pledge of military command?

Then she continued, "So... I will try my best to obtain the elixir from the sect to break through to the Dragon Slayer Realm..."

"You should reach the Fusion Realm first."

Are young people these days so eager to achieve instant success?

He hasn't even reached the Fusion Realm, yet he's already thinking about the Dragon Slaying Realm?

"I know! I just wanted to tell you..."

Tell me what?

"There's no need to waste it on me."

The girl said this.

Wei Tu was completely bewildered.

What a waste? The sword manual? That thing didn't take me that much effort to learn.

Or did she think it was too precious?

Wei Tu thought for a moment and replied, "It's okay, it's a very simple thing, not as precious as you think."

"But……"

Xu Qing hesitated for a moment, his voice lowered considerably due to nervousness.

"This will make me very distressed."

"Disturbed? Why?"

"I... am now solely focused on revenge..."

"I know."

"So, I can't... I can't think about matters between men and women. Senior brother, you might... have some thoughts about it, but I really can't right now... I'm sorry! Senior brother, you're a good person!"

Wei Tu stared in disbelief as Xu Qingtan gave him the "friend zone" card.

He stared in astonishment at the girl who had her head down, her cheeks flushed, and her hands tightly clasped together.

"not me……"

Before Wei Tu could say anything, Xu Qingtan lowered his head even further.

"I know you mean to say that feelings and cultivation are unrelated, but I'm really sorry, I'll be distracted! So I won't be able to reciprocate your feelings and intentions... I hope, I hope you can understand..."

Wei Tu was at a loss for words, not knowing whether to laugh or cry.

How did this girl figure out that I had such feelings?

I didn't even realize it myself!

Wow, she's something else! You've unknowingly become her suitor without even realizing it, haven't you? How come you didn't even know it happened?

"Where did you get the idea that I have feelings for you?"

Wei Tu couldn't help but ask.

Xu Qingtan looked up at the boy, who was both amused and exasperated, with a puzzled expression.

"...You...you've been in that state..."

"What? Did I help you up on the boat?"

"No, no, didn't you ask for a demon core?"

"Yeah, so what?"

"That's... to prepare for my breakthrough to the Dragon Slayer Realm..."

Her voice grew softer and softer, and she became increasingly insecure.

Wei Tu smiled as he looked at the blushing girl. "Who said it was for you? You haven't even reached the Fusion Realm yet, what use would I have for you? As a snack?"

"Then...who are you giving it to? No one else in the sect needs it, and you're not familiar with them..."

Oh no, why do I feel so uneasy? I feel like I'm on the edge of a cliff.

Xu Qing's mind went blank for a moment.

Wei Tu couldn't help but laugh and said, "It's definitely not for any of the disciples in the sect. It's for a friend outside, someone you don't even know. Anyway, it's not for you... You wouldn't think I like you because of this, and that I'm rushing to give it to you to curry favor, would you?"

"……No, it's not for me?"

With a loud bang, it felt as if my brain had exploded instantly.

The girl had no idea what to do now.

Everything I thought was wrong!

All my thoughts for the day were just random, unfounded thoughts!

He didn't even think that way! What to do! What to do! I've lost face to the extreme.

Was suicide the only option?!

Wei Tu nodded.

"Of course it's not for you. What have you been thinking all day? You little brat, you have no chest or butt, why would I like you? So you've been acting strangely today because you've been worried that I like you and have a crush on you, right?"

"I...I didn't...I really didn't!"

Xu Qingtan would certainly not admit it, but he couldn't find any reason to do so, and could only offer weak and feeble rebuttals.

Wei Tu squinted at Xu Qingtan.

"Still won't admit it? No wonder you reacted so strongly when I helped you up. You thought I was going to lay a hand on you... Hahahaha."

Looking at the boy who burst into laughter.

The girl, whose face was almost blood red, suddenly erupted.

"Ah!!! I didn't, I didn't!!!"

She ran away.

It was like a gust of wind, or like a startled fawn.

She ran off recklessly, but it seemed as if her screams of shame and despair echoed in the wind.
