The Devil Fallen Fairy wants to regret and make amends? You are not worthy

The mirror-like lake reflects the green mountains and the clouds in the sky. If it weren't for the wrinkles on the surface caused by the wind, it would seem that people could walk or even slide on it.

Xu Qingyan looked at the familiar figure in a black dress and stopped not far away.

Said respectfully.

"Disciple Xu Qingyan pays respect to the Sect Master."

The silver-haired woman who seemed to be in a trance while looking at the lake did not turn back, but only heard a faint voice.

"come in."

"Yes."

Xu Qingyan took a few steps forward and finally came to the side of the low table, but he did not sit down, as if he was a very polite gentleman.

Until Song Xiyan slowly turned her head.

Xu Qingyan once again saw this undeniably stunning face.

The black dress made her look more solemn and sacred, and her delicate facial features stood out even more.

The teardrop mole under the left eye may still be a symbol of disaster to the country and the people in this era, but from the perspective of a teenager with modern aesthetics.

Quite charming in fact.

Even though her expression was as cold and indifferent as always, she still had the majesty of a clan leader.

"Why are you so reserved? Sit down."

Xu Qingyan responded and sat down respectfully.

Song Xiyan was watching the boy's increasingly outstanding appearance and increasingly mature and steady temperament.

She had to admit that this boy was indeed special to most girls. Just relying on his face and his aura, he was able to win a lot of favor from the first meeting.

Of course, if he is now a rare and powerful man.

Song Xiyan felt that it was not impossible for her to commit herself... Well, why was she thinking about this?

It is impossible after all. As a man, his talent and achievements are limited to a certain extent, and he will never be such an accident.

A little bit of sweetness will do the trick.

If I wasn't so cautious, I wouldn't have to be so cautious and specially send him and Pei Yu on that mission.

I just didn't expect...

"Why do you seem to be unfamiliar with me after not seeing me for a while?"

This was not a tease, but a test to see if Xu Qingyan's respectful attitude was deliberate.

Xu Qingyan answered quietly without revealing a single flaw.

"No matter what time it is, when a disciple faces the master... he should be respected as if he were a god."

These words made Song Xiyan's lips slightly raised.

"That's true... you're still good at making people happy."

"I am telling the truth, I am not lying."

Song Xiyan's hair was slightly blown by the autumn wind, and the silver hair reflected the subtle luster under the sunlight.

It's a touch of style that makes people unable to help but look sideways.

She said in a deep voice.

"Whether it's true or not, I still have to say it. You did a good job on this mission. I didn't expect that this matter would be solved by you guys."

Xu Qingyan naturally knew that this was not a sincere compliment, but was mixed with enough suspicion.

Like how is he able to handle all of this?

It even hinted that Pei Yu emphasized his outstanding contribution when reporting to her.

Of course... that's definitely not all.

He whispered, "Master, you are too kind. In fact, it is all Master Pei's credit. I only contributed a part of the effort, and the timely arrival of the people from Jitian Palace prevented any trouble. In the final analysis, it was my good luck that saved the day."

Song Xiyan looked at the boy's pretty face and said with an inexplicable smile.

"Have you ever heard that luck is an excuse for the weak, but a humble word for the strong? Which one do you belong to?"

"In front of the master, the disciple is naturally a weakling."

"That's an excuse. If it's an excuse, then I won't be able to reward you for this line of work. Instead, I'll find fault with you."

Xu Qingyan raised his head at the right moment, revealing a slightly surprised expression.

Then he immediately bowed his head and answered respectfully, "No matter how the sect master punishes me...I should accept it..."

"Pfft."

The young woman really couldn't help laughing out loud.

This little fox...can't even act. He's obviously very proud, but pretends to be humble.

His loyalty was revealed, and his attitude of not taking credit for himself was revealed...but it was still a little immature and clumsy.

She shook her head and said.

"If I really punish you, wouldn't I be seen as unreasonable and oppressive to the younger generation in the eyes of others? You are trying to harm me..."

"How could that be? No one in the Eighteen Sword Sect dares to question the Sect Master's decision."

"Are you saying that I have all the power in my hands?"

Song Xiyan narrowed her eyebrows slightly.

Xu Qingyan immediately replied timidly, "Disciple definitely did not mean that."

Seeing the boy couldn't help but secretly look at himself.

Song Xiyan's expression softened.

"Okay. Talk normally. I don't like to be hypocritical. On the contrary, I like to open my heart to people."

Yeah?

Do you still like to communicate with people?

Do you have a heart?

Xu Qingyan naturally didn't dare to answer truthfully, he just pretended to agree.

"Disciple understands."

"Tell me the details and the whole story of this incident. Pei Yu has also told me some of it, but I feel it is a little unclear."

This means to make a confession.

Although Pei Yu has a rather flamboyant personality, it doesn't mean she is a fool.

There was absolutely no problem for her to handle this kind of thing, so Song Xiyan just tried her best to find the flaws and inconsistencies in the conversation between the two.

This way, we can restore the original situation as much as possible, and also know the standpoints of these two people and their mentality when explaining this matter to her.

After a brief thought, Xu Qingyan found a way to answer.

Very simple.

First, he put all the decisions on Pei Yu, and then, while seemingly praising Pei Yu, he added a lot of details about how he worked hard, took risks, and did his best.

This creates a feeling that he is secretly competing with Pei Yu for credit.

This has several advantages.

First, he would not betray some details that Qing Yan did not want her to know, such as his full strength, his relationship with Yun Nishang, and the mysterious Fengtian Sect...

Second, even if her answer was obviously different from Pei Yu's, Song Xiyan would not suspect that the two of them had teamed up to deceive her. Instead, she would think that she and Pei Yu were just trying to gain more credit in front of her.

The third is to reinforce the impression that he wants to prove his worth to her, so that she still thinks that all his efforts are still for her favor, so he gave such a common sense answer.

So of course.

Song Xiyan's eyes began to show some undisguised contempt.

She was very familiar with this kind of open and covert struggles. She had experienced many such things in order to stand at the pinnacle of power in the Eighteen Sword Sects.

So she would indeed think that this was a performance of the two competing for credit.

After a brief consideration, she said.

"I will reward you with some due rewards, elixirs, tools, and techniques suitable for you... Of course, I will also give you the opportunity to practice in the blessed land. If you want anything else, I can promise you one more time."

Xu Qingyan immediately stared at Song Xiyan with a burning gaze.

"I..."

As if hesitating to speak.

Song Xiyan subconsciously felt a little embarrassed when she saw this bold and presumptuous look.

Frowning slightly.

"Don't target me this time."

Xu Qingyan lowered his head with great regret.

"That's gone..."

The silver-haired woman couldn't help wanting to laugh.

This boy...really desires me so much?

She rolled her eyebrows slightly.

"How about I give Nuan'er to you as a reward?"

This sentence really surprised Xu Qingyan.

He had not thought that the girl could also be part of the reward. After all, in his opinion, even if Xia Mian was sent to this girl.

But for Song Xiyan, Yu Nuan's importance is self-evident.

She was the disciple she had brought up, and no matter how the ambiguous relationship between her and her developed, Yu Nuan's personality would not let her become the one who harmed Song Xiyan.

Still trustworthy.

No matter what the nature of this reward is, it will leave Xia Mian, the newcomer who is dressed as a man, alone by her side.

This is obviously not an appropriate way to deal with it.

Xu Qingyan immediately judged that this might be a test.

This is in line with the woman's cunning personality.

So he immediately shook his head.

"Senior Sister Yu is the sect master's right-hand man. How can I accept this?"

Song Xiyan raised her eyebrows slightly.

"Are you looking down on Nuan'er?"

Xu Qingyan raised his head and looked straight at Song Xiyan.

"Senior Sister Yu is of course very good, but compared to..."

"Compared to whom?"

White Yingluo?

Lin Yan?

Or Ye Yanxi?

"Compared to the master, it is..."

The perfect hesitation to speak, coupled with the boy's direct and undisguised gaze.

Song Xiyan felt completely offended, a kind of anger that was in violation of her superiors.

After all, she would wonder, what's wrong with this boy? He got such a big advantage but still acts like a spoiled brat? Is this a kind of ambition to get more after getting what he has?

You don't think that just because you have completed a few missions and solved a few potential problems for yourself, you have the qualifications to act recklessly and even covet yourself, right?
