These fairies want me to deal with them every day.

She took the initiative to speak.

"How did your Dragon Slaying Society fare...?"

It seems that during his seclusion, he was completely unaware of any news from the outside world.

Wei Tu withdrew her gaze and said calmly, "Yes, Senior Sister is first, and I am second."

Upon hearing this news, Lu Qingyan thought for a moment and came to a conclusion.

"You really are generous."

It's clear they've figured out the hidden story behind the whole thing.

Lu Qingyan's understanding of the two was very accurate. Since Jiang Ying could get first place, then Wei Tu could also get first place. Therefore, the only possibility for this result was that Wei Tu voluntarily gave the title of champion of the Dragon Slayer Ranking to her senior sister.

It's hard for many people to imagine.

The most influential figures in the martial arts world are said to each lead their own faction for hundreds of years.

But everyone knows that how many truly memorable figures have been passed down through the centuries?

Most of them are not even as good as shooting stars, and they don't even have a brief moment of brilliance before disappearing into the long river of time.

Moreover, the rewards are countless, a temptation that not everyone can resist.

There are always people who like to portray themselves as noble individuals who regard personal gain as worthless, but this is usually only true before they encounter any temptation that can truly move them.

The state of being truly vulnerable when faced with genuine temptation is often unimaginable.

But this boy is capable of doing things that many people can't imagine. Perhaps... that's the meaning of our connection.

Lu Qingyan thought to herself.

Wei Tu laughed casually, "What's there to be reluctant about? You can't eat a champion, what's the point of taking it? It would only invite people's jealousy for no reason."

"So you're going to let your senior sister be the object of others' jealousy instead of yours?"

"That's not the case. Senior sister is so beautiful, who would be willing to do that? I'm different. Being too handsome would easily arouse jealousy."

"...Shameless."

As Lu Qingyan said this, she couldn't help but laugh.

Wei Tu responded with a smile, "Being concerned about one's reputation isn't a good virtue. If you're too concerned about saving face and people will talk about you, you might as well just be shameless."

"You know it's despicable?"

"But being a scoundrel doesn't matter. As long as your moral bottom line is low enough, no one can blackmail you. Just look at who stands in front of me and says you're not a gentleman. I'll slap them across the face."

Lu Qingyan was amused by the boy's theory, laughing so hard she almost fell over. Her already thin dress swayed slightly, and her alluring white breasts at the neckline swayed gently.

It is precisely this feeling of something almost there, yet always just a hair's breadth away, that is most captivating.

Wei Tu's gaze was fixed on him, and he didn't even care whether he was being discovered.

"Although I didn't ask you to be a gentleman, you should still be upright... What are you looking at, you wicked disciple!"

Lu Qingyan covered her chest, her fair cheeks flushed as she glared at the boy.

Wei Tu reluctantly withdrew his gaze, stood up, and turned around.

"It's nothing, it's just that I haven't seen my master for so long, and I'm always a bit absent-minded, I don't know why."

The casual remark, meant to cover up the situation, caused the woman's emotions to waver slightly.

She didn't know exactly how much time had passed; in any case, the people inside the cave often lost track of day and night.

But as for whether she missed this boy or not... she started missing him from the very first day she entered the cave.

I often think of it, sometimes during breaks in my practice, or when I wake up; it seems to have become a habit during these times.

It's like a demon in your heart.

It resides in one's mind at all times.

When he arrived, Lu Qingyan was undoubtedly happy, genuinely feeling that she had gone through an extremely difficult time and was now looking forward to the dawn.

He was that ray of dawn.

"Even if I fail, I'll still get out, so what's the rush..."

Lu Qingyan, however, said something she didn't mean.

Even when the two of them are alone and there are no outsiders to disturb them, they still can't be like those sincere and bold young girls, which is something that often troubles her.

Her inner pride always prevented her from acting when she needed to face the situation.

That would probably make him unhappy... that's what she thought.

Wei Tu stood there, smiling as he looked at the woman.

"Of course I can't fail. It's okay if I'm a little late. I'll come to see Master often."

"Who asked you to look? The longer you look, the later I'll go out."

Lu Qingyan said in a low voice.

"Why? Because I disturbed Master's mind?"

Wei Tu liked to use this method to continue asking questions she already knew the answer to, especially with this reserved woman who was older than her age.

Just like fighting a war, it's not always satisfying to strike in one fell swoop. It's also very rewarding to strategize and gradually take over the opponent's territory, slowly eroding their strength.

Lu Qingyan blushed and looked away.

"Stop saying weird things... because you're getting in the way."

Wei Tu sighed and said, feigning grievance, "So I'm just a burden to Master. I understand. I'll try my best not to bother Master in the future."

She knew perfectly well that this boy was using the same old tricks and was just talking nonsense to deceive her.

However, her emotions were out of control, and Lu Qingyan's heart still clenched. She couldn't help but stubbornly say, "Then don't bother me anymore, and don't bother me again."

Wei Tu certainly wouldn't let the situation slip out of his control.

Like prey in your hand, you must allow for occasional struggles, but if you let go, you are not a qualified hunter.

He smiled, turned around, and squatted down in front of Lu Qingyan, looking up at her face that was avoiding his gaze.

"Master, how heartless you are! Do you want to abandon your disciple? What have you done to displease Master?"

"I'm not satisfied with anything!"

Lu Qingyan turned her face away again, like a child sulking, which Wei Tu found extremely cute.

He couldn't help but reach out and cup Lu Qingyan's cheeks, forcing her to look only at him.

"If Master tells me, can't I change?"

Lu Qingyan grabbed Wei Tu's hand, but she just couldn't pull it down.

Perhaps it's because they really can't bear to use their strength. Sometimes flirting is fine, but using real force is a completely different matter.

She wasn't that angry; she was more shy than embarrassed.

"You can't change, yet you insist on saying these strange things..."

Wei Tu just stared into her eyes.

"Yes, because of my master, I have become a strange person."

Lu Qingyan blushed and lowered her eyes, but his gaze was like a whirlpool, engulfing even the slightest glance.

"And you still blame me..."

"Of course I'm not blaming Master. On the contrary, because he is Master, I am completely willing. What about you, Master?"

He slowly pressed his cheek against hers, not rushing to kiss her, but gently touching her nose with his own.

Lu Qingyan tried to hold her breath, but she still missed a few points, and then she couldn't stop herself.

Her breathing became rapid and deep. She closed her eyes slightly and began to feel dizzy.

A handsome young man is like poison; one sip and you're hooked, until death do you part.

“Master has started acting strangely too…”

She spoke in a low voice.

Her lips were slightly parted, pink and incredibly alluring, just like the flesh of a grapefruit.

21 You are a rebellious disciple, and I am a bad master.

The near-kiss, so close yet so far, perfectly captured the sorrow of unrequited love.

Even though the person you love is right in front of you, you seem unable to express your feelings.

Lu Qingyan would never know what Wei Tu truly felt when he looked at her lowered eyes and her lips that never closed.

The woman who chose to perish together with the demon seemed to have vanished into the dust.

If only I hadn't been so stubborn in my past life, and had considered her more.

What if the outcome is different? Wouldn't it at least allow me to keep her...?

Did she love herself in her past life?

She must have loved herself, otherwise why would she have given herself the chance to see her one last time, while she herself couldn't make it to see her one last time?

It must be because she loves herself, otherwise, why would she have thought about that last letter for so long, and why would she feel sad whenever she thinks about it?

How lonely she was! Not only did she leave, but she also took Jiang Ying and everything with her.

To become a so-called great hero, standing atop a mountain that inspires awe.

He accomplished many great things and gained a large following.

But why, why was she left there?

Shallow breathing.

Heavy breathing.

A burning breath.
