"What nonsense are you spouting..."

Wei Tu turned his head away, coughed, and said in a rather embarrassed manner.

"I'm just stating a fact... well, nothing more, don't misunderstand."

The last three words made Xu Qingtan pause for a moment, and then he immediately became anxious.

"What misunderstanding?! I... I didn't think of anything!"

"Hiss... What are you yelling about? You've practically ripped my skin off."

"what?"

Xu Qingtan looked at the other person's arm. Good heavens, the area that had just been treated with medicine was bleeding again because of his movements.

So Xu Qingtan had no choice but to frantically reapply the medicine.

Wei Tu didn't really blame the other woman. He just watched her blush and apply the medicine rather clumsily, which made him want to laugh.

Perhaps it's because it's so different from his usual cold demeanor.

Wei Tu usually found Xu Qingtan's deliberately aloof demeanor amusing, but now she seemed much more natural and genuine, displaying the charm of a young girl, even though she wasn't very old.

"Okay, okay..."

When Xu Qingtan finally finished treating Wei Tu's arm wound, she stepped aside and sat down.

Wei Tu looked at his arm, then lowered his sleeve, but showed no intention of leaving.

Rather, it means...

"how have you been?"

"What……?"

"How have you been doing in the sect these past few months while I was away?"

"1. Everything is fine."

Xu Qing didn't know what the other person meant by asking that question, so he could only answer subconsciously.

Wei Tu nodded. "How's your cultivation going?"

After saying this, I saw Xu Qingtan's very wary expression, even somewhat frightened.

Wei Tu chuckled, "Don't worry, I have no intention of bullying you."

"So you admit you bullied me?!"

He kept saying it was to train himself! He was completely lying!

Wei Tu touched his nose somewhat awkwardly.

Then she said, "That's not entirely true..."

Xu Qing was angry for a little while, then couldn't help but ask out of curiosity.

"You... in the depths of the Ten Thousand Demon Mountain... did you encounter a very dangerous enemy?"

You found out?

Xu Qingtan blushed slightly and awkwardly tucked the strands of hair behind her rosy, glistening ears.

"I've heard some things..."

Wei Tu smiled and said nonchalantly, "It's nothing. I came back alive, even though for a moment I really thought I was going to die."

Xu Qingtan's heart sank. She didn't know why, but from the other person's nonchalant words, she sensed a momentary tension, a tension that came from herself.

She said, "Knowing it's so dangerous, why would I... risk my life like that?"

Wei Tu glanced at Xu Qingtan, initially somewhat doubtful as to why such words would come from the mouth of this girl who wanted revenge.

But soon, Wei Tu realized something.

He said with a smile.

"Everyone has times when they have nowhere to retreat. Whether to resign oneself to fate or to take a gamble is just a matter of a single thought. I just habitually choose the latter."

"But... if you die, there's nothing left."

Wei Tu stood up, straightened his clothes, looked at the sunlight outside the window, and said with a smile.

"It's alright. Even if I die like this, the purpose has been achieved."

"Is that so..."

"Don't put too much pressure on yourself, Xu Qingtan... Everyone has responsibilities, perhaps even missions. Just do your best; life is never perfect."

He opened the door and went out.

The girl's gaze lingered on his retreating figure, even as he left easily without any hesitation.

As soon as Wei Tu stepped out, he saw a girl in a light green dress walking towards the mountain path.

He stood at the intersection, waiting quietly.

He watched as the girl walked towards him.

"Senior sister."

"Junior brother."

Her gentle smile was as warm as a spring breeze.

Upon seeing this woman, Wei Tu felt all the pressure in his body vanish.

After all, she will always be forgiving of everything about herself, whether she does it well or not.

Standing on this side or the opposite side.

"I haven't had a proper talk with you since I got back."

Wei Tu said with a smile.

Jiang Ying stared intently at Wei Tu, as if she couldn't bear to let him leave her sight for even a moment.

"You speak, I'm listening."

Wei Tu thought for a moment, then took the girl's soft hand in his.

"Does my senior sister miss me?"

Jiang Ying nodded without any surprise, responding to his even more determined and persistent gaze.

"I want to, I really want to."

"I miss my senior sister very much, but I'm sorry for being away for so long."

Jiang Ying shook her head. "It's okay, I have plenty of time, it's all yours."

Yes, it seems that no matter what, I am her whole world, so I naturally feel guilty. She is not my everything, although she is a part of me that I cannot give up, but she is not my entirety.

"Then... shall we go back to the room and talk?"

Looking at the captivating Jiang Ying, Wei Tu naturally felt that it was impossible to speak plainly; he would have to add something else.

I don't know if it counts as compensation, but he must have served me with all his heart and soul.

But at this moment, Jiang Ying said something.

"No...you have other things to do."

"What do you want?"

Wei Tu looked at her strangely.

Jiang Ying said, "The sect leader is looking for you... I'm here to inform you that she has something important to discuss."

Wei Tu instinctively felt that Ran Xinxue's visit to him was not a good thing.

"Oh, it's okay to go there later..."

After saying that, he took her hand, but Jiang Ying blushed slightly and struggled a little, which was unusual for her.

"No... The sect leader specifically mentioned that it's a very important matter..."

"What important thing could she possibly have to do..."

"It's about Senior Sister Bai Youwei..."

"..."

News about Bai Youwei?

93 The long-awaited Sect Master

"Sect Master, you were looking for me?"

Outside the Baoguang Hall, the young man stood looking at the elders who were gathered inside, seemingly discussing some important matter.

All eyes turned to him, and Wei Tu kept his head down, behaving very politely.

Ran Xinxue, seated in the main seat, looked over with a serious and calm expression.

"Wait a moment, I haven't finished speaking yet."

"Oh."

Wei Tu seemed to obediently walk to one side of the room and quietly wait for their meeting to end.

I don't know how much time has passed.

"Alright, that's settled then. You all go ahead and make your preparations. In the meantime, remind your disciples on your respective mountains not to let their guard down and to try not to go out."

"it is good."

"Yes, Sect Master."

"Then I'll take my leave."

The elders rose and left the Baoguang Hall step by step.

Lin Ruoyin glanced at Wei Tu, who was meek and submissive, and unusually took the initiative to speak.

How badly are you injured?

Wei Tu smiled and nodded, "It's almost healed."
