These fairies want me to deal with them every day.

"...You're really something."

Of course, Wei Tu also silenced these useless sighs of regret and slowly said.

"Since we haven't prepared anything, we'll keep this lesson simple. Instead, you can ask me questions one by one, and I'll answer the ones I know the answer to. Who wants to go first?"

After a moment of silence, the girl who had spoken first raised her arm.

"Senior Brother Wei, I have a question."

"Excuse me."

Which is more important for cultivation: talent or hard work?

As soon as she spoke, the girl asked the question that everyone cared about: not every cultivator has talent, and not every talented person can have a bright future. They may hesitate or waver.

Wei Tu paused for a moment, then spoke.

"Perhaps I could say some things differently for the sect, but as you can see, I'm about the same age as you, so it's better to be honest about some things. For example, talent versus effort. A million efforts might not be as good as one tenth of talent. Cultivation is inherently defying the heavens, and without talent, no amount of effort will often be able to cross the chasm. The only thing that can comfort you is that even so, after all your efforts, your lives will still be much better than those of ordinary people."

Qin Shuangshuang muttered from below, "Isn't this just creating trouble for the sect? If that's the case...maybe quite a few disciples will leave the sect tomorrow."

Su Mi shook her head. "I think this is good. At least we won't deceive them or waste their time. After making our own choice, we won't have to complain so much. After all, there are still quite a few people who believe they are the special one."

"You will protect him."

"He is my husband."

Soon we came to the second question.

"Senior Brother Wei, did you discover your talent from the very beginning?"

This time, it was a young man who asked the question.

Clearly, many people are more interested in the young man himself, who has created so many legendary stories at such a young age, than in his cultivation.

Wei Tu smiled and shook his head.

"That's not the case. If you ask any of the more senior or elder people, you'll know that for a long time at the beginning, I was nobody, or a notorious good-for-nothing."

"Then why are you so powerful now? Is it because you've encountered some extraordinary event?"

Is rebirth considered a stroke of luck?

But it seems I can't say that, I can't expect you all to be thinking about being reincarnated right away, can I?

Wei Tu thought for a moment and replied, "It's not exactly a lucky encounter. Perhaps it was destiny. One day I suddenly had an epiphany. It's also related to the hard work you all care about. Although for a long time, many people questioned my existence, my master didn't give up, and I didn't fall into despair. I focused on practicing swordsmanship and believed in it almost obsessively."

Some people say, "But perseverance is hard, isn't it? Especially when you doubt yourself."

"Of course, perseverance is the hardest thing, even harder than cultivating immortality. I don't really know how to convince you to persevere like I have, because it may not be suitable for you. But there's something I've thought about for a long time, and perhaps this is all I can give you."

Wei Tu paused for a moment, then revealed a refreshing smile. "If you never thought about becoming someone superior, then don't complain about fate or envy others. But if you want to become someone special, then you might as well see that people more talented than you work even harder than you think."

Perhaps they can't understand it yet, after all, young people always have the most fervent ideals and move forward without looking back.

Finally, someone asked.

"Senior Brother Wei... why did you persevere back then? Was it because of this belief?"

Wei Tu smiled and shook his head, "That's not it. I didn't understand these things back then. It was just because of a girl, oh, she's my wife now, her name is Su Mi."

Through the crowd, he saw the girl in the corner.

Is fate predetermined? Wei Tu wasn't sure, but he just could spot her at first glance in a sea of ​​people. PS: I did say I wouldn't drink... but the problem is, it was an uncle's birthday yesterday, and I ended up having half a glass with him. I felt terrible all day. I'm making a new vow: I'll never drink baijiu again!

19. Offering condolences and respect to our Master

For Wei Tu, attending classes was not a very interesting thing; on the contrary, it was a very stressful thing.

When you are free and unrestrained, need not be responsible to anyone, and have no impact on the justice and peace of this world, you feel a sense of emptiness yet also a sense of self-worth.

However, when you become a mentor, you will inexplicably feel a sense of responsibility towards these young people who have not yet grown up and have different futures, as if every word you say will have an impact on them.

Therefore, Wei Tu was unwilling to make any definitive statements.

It's not that he's unwilling to take responsibility, but rather that he's very clear that his experience is extremely unique, practically unreplicable, so what use would it be if he shared it elsewhere?

Looking at these young men and women, Wei Tu couldn't help but bring his past life's mindset to mind. It wasn't the youthful mindset that he displayed; on the contrary, he had actually stood on the mountaintop.

These highly interested young people then asked Wei Tu many questions, such as cultivation methods, combat experience, and how to choose suitable cultivation techniques and weapons.

Wei Tu shared his own experiences and insights on these matters.

Soon, amidst the lively atmosphere, the class came to a quick end.

Wei Tu finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"Alright, get out of class is over."

He didn't say any grand closing remarks, as he felt they weren't necessary. Just like he didn't like to make a big show of saying goodbye, he always gave people the feeling that there would be no chance of meeting again.

Even if it's unlikely we'll ever meet again, don't do that.

It's unlucky and makes people feel uncomfortable for a long time.

Wei Tu did not leave the school immediately. Instead, he waited for the boys and girls to say goodbye to him one by one before smiling as he looked at Su Mi and Qin Shuangshuang, who had nowhere to hide.

Haven't you two heard enough of what I have to say?

Qin Shuangshuang stood up defiantly, while Su Mi looked at the young man with a smile.

"Did you discover us a long time ago?"

Wei Tu nodded. "I saw it from the very beginning."

"But we're hiding so well..."

"There's nothing I can do, my wife is just too dazzling. All the people here combined can't compare to her... oh, that includes you, Qin Shuangshuang."

Wei Tu glanced at Qin Shuangshuang, whose expression was strange.

The girl blushed, "I didn't need you to remind me!!"

Qin Shuangshuang certainly didn't think she had the charm to match Su Mi, otherwise she wouldn't have such undisguised admiration for her.

She admired her kindness, her innocence, and her talent.

She was the most beautiful person I had ever met, and it is human nature to yearn for beauty.

Su Mi couldn't help but laugh, "Alright, why are you bullying her like this? She's my best friend, you're not allowed to bully her."

"Okay, okay, my wife is right."

Wei Tu nodded repeatedly without much sincerity. Of course, Qin Shuangshuang could appreciate Su Mi's kindness, but she wouldn't appreciate Wei Tu's kindness, and even if she did, she couldn't show it on the spot.

The three of them left the school together, and the crowd outside had mostly dispersed, finally ending the feeling of urgency from the overcrowded place.

"You must have something else on your mind today, right?"

Wei Tu turned around and asked, "It's not noon yet, it's still early."

Before Su Mi could even speak, Qin Shuangshuang interrupted, "Of course! We've arranged to go down the mountain for a stroll. I heard a batch of new clothes from the human world has arrived!"

Wei Tu nodded, "I see. Then you guys go and have a look around."

Su Mi blinked. "Not coming with us?"

Wei Tu looked at Qin Shuangshuang's suddenly clenched hand and said with a smile, "Let's not go together. How can I disturb your good mood of traveling together as best friends? I'm not a likable person anyway."

Su Mi said sourly, "And you're not even likable. So many girls have squeezed in just because you said you were going to start a class."

Wei Tu smiled and said, "You're a young girl too."

"Hmph, you wouldn't be planning something bad while we're down the mountain, would you?"

Wei Tu nodded. "Yes."

"You actually admitted it!"

"I'm going to get some vegetables, prepare some good food, and fatten you up. Is that a bad thing?"

Seeing the boy's mischievous grin, Su Mi couldn't help but feel happy. She let go of Qin Shuangshuang's hand, then pulled the boy's arm and gently kissed his cheek.

"My husband is so good."

"Go ahead, come back at dinner time."

"Hmm~"

Qin Shuangshuang felt that although she hadn't seen dinner yet, she already didn't really want to eat.

These two... are so lovey-dovey.

In broad daylight, in public... they don't even care about their appearance...

But... it seems very free.

On the way out of the mountain gate, Qin Shuangshuang couldn't help but ask a question that piqued her curiosity.

"Susu."

"Ok?"

"Has anything changed since you married Wei Tu?"

Su Mi thought for a moment, then slowly said with a girlish air, "If you're asking what's different... I don't think there's much. I still like him a lot, and he likes me a lot too. Maybe it's just that we've spent more time together, so there's less of that awkwardness and reserve between us... Oh, right, I can now more legitimately control him!"

Su Mi seemed quite excited when talking about this.

It's like an imperial envoy who has received a supreme imperial sword.

Seeing the girl's genuinely happy face, Qin Shuangshuang smiled too, but her eyes seemed even more lost.

"Does that mean you're more confident now?"

Su Mi nodded, "Of course, although I often feel inexplicably confident. But sometimes I have to care about his pride. After we get married, I don't have to care so much. I just want to give him a reputation for being afraid of his wife. I'm being very wicked."

Qin Shuangshuang chuckled and said, "You're not a bad person at all. But... I do feel that you're much more at ease now. I thought that married people... would become more restrained."

Su Mi shook her head. "No, I'll understand what he wants to do because he won't do anything I can't accept. He'll agree to whatever I want to do; he spoils me. Why should I feel that marriage is a shackle? Restraint is only in the eyes of outsiders. Curbing a wild heart is just because you've grown up, right?"

I've grown up...

Yes, growth has little to do with age.
