Fairy, wait a minute, let me explain.

Chapter 28: The beauty of life lies not in one day, but in every day.

"As I said yesterday, I consider Miss Luo a friend. If Miss Luo wishes to come, I will welcome her anytime."

As he spoke, under Luo Huanxi's watchful gaze, Wei Wuxian returned to the house, casually carrying a teapot and teacups as he came out.

Then, on the stone table in the courtyard, two cups of refreshing tea were poured.

After handing Luo Huanxi a cup, Wei Wuxian continued, "I just didn't expect that Miss Luo would come to see me so soon after she had put her mind at ease."

This statement is somewhat ambiguous.

Luo Huanxi only just realized that she had indeed been visiting Wei Wuxian's place a bit too often.

The two of them had only known each other for a few days.

Just as she was about to speak, Wei Wuxian picked up his teacup, raised it to her from afar, and added, "I'm very happy that Miss Luo is willing to treat me as a friend."

"Of course, I consider them friends..."

Luo Huanxi sat up straight, looking a little embarrassed: "Besides, I don't have anyone to talk to here."

"If Miss Luo doesn't mind, you can tell me about it."

After fidgeting with her hair a few times, Luo Huanxi asked softly, "Young Master Wei, why do you cultivate Taoism?"

"Does Miss Luo wish to discuss philosophy with me?"

"Not really..." Luo Huanxi said with some emotion, "There used to be a huge rock weighing on my heart, urging me to work hard in my cultivation. Suddenly, that rock has been removed, and I feel a little lost."

They actually managed to escape Qingyunque from Haozhou in the Central Plains.

He thought to himself, "This is troublesome."

Immediately, Wei Wuxian decided to cultivate a good relationship with Luo Huanxi.

After thinking for a moment, he smiled and said, "Miss Luo said she was at a loss, but actually she has gained a lot of freedom, which is something I envy."

"free......"

"Indeed, Miss Luo used to pursue cultivation levels, but perhaps she could pursue something else now?"

"How so?"

"We cultivators don't necessarily have to go to high places; we can also go in all directions. One can't always make the right choices; sometimes we should make choices that we like."

"A preferred...choice?"

"The success or failure of a game of chess is not determined by a single move, but by every move; the brilliance of life is not found in a single day, but in every day. Heaven abhors perfection, and humanity abhors fullness. Miss Luo, rather than choosing to become a better version of yourself, you should become a better version of yourself."

"To become a better version of myself..." Luo Huanxi murmured softly, holding the teacup in her hand.

These words struck a chord with her.

Suddenly, recalling his two lifetimes of struggling and navigating the cannibalistic world of cultivation, and then reflecting on what he had seen and heard since arriving in the Great Wei Dynasty, he realized that...

The freedom she's always sought is simply to no longer be controlled by others and to do what she wants.

Luo Huanxi couldn't help but raise her head, staring intently at Wei Wuxian, a unique warmth welling up from the bottom of her heart.

"Young Master Wei..."

"These words are not my own, but I read them in a book. I long for this kind of freedom, so I told Miss Luo about them."

"I like it very much, and I also yearn for it."

"That's good. Now that Miss Luo has gained great freedom, she can also be free for me."

Her first thought was that Wei Wuxian could also be free, but then she remembered Wei Wuxian's identity and simply nodded emphatically.

"The Grand Preceptor truly deserves to be called a sage of our time."

"Why are you suddenly bringing up my father?"

"In the Great Wei, the teachings are universal, with laws, regulations, and decrees that prioritize public over private interests and subordinate private interests to the public. Public interests are established while private interests are eliminated. Punishment is carried out without exception for high-ranking officials, and rewards are given to all, regardless of rank. Whether cultivators or commoners, all are citizens of the same nation. All of this is truly admirable, and there is more..."

"What else?"

"And a young talent like Young Master Wei, I'm afraid only a sage could have taught him."

Wei Wuxian quickly shook his head: "Miss Luo, you flatter me."

"It's from the bottom of my heart." Luo Huanxi smiled sincerely: "Only after truly getting to know Young Master Wei did I realize how absurd the rumors outside are, but Young Master Wei never takes them to heart. With such a mindset and demeanor, how can he not be worthy of being called a young sage?"

Wei Wuxian awkwardly avoided eye contact.

If Luo Huanxi's expression hadn't been so sincere, he would have thought she was subtly mocking him...

But he couldn't explain why his predecessor's behavior was completely different from his current one.

After the awkward moment, Wei Wuxian's feelings became somewhat complicated.

Luo Huanxi's performance today was far from what he remembered.

This girl has always been wary of everyone, let alone sharing such heartfelt words like she did today.

Wei Wuxian belatedly realized that the shift in the plot had not only changed many things, but also changed many people.

Lowering his guard slightly, Wei Wuxian solemnly said, "I hope Miss Luo will keep this a secret."

Luo Huanxi hesitated slightly: "Does Young Master Wei really want to sever ties with that Ninth Princess?"

After considering it for a moment, Wei Wuxian nodded: "Divorce from the Ninth Princess is indeed part of the reason, but there are other reasons as well."

Knowing that he had actually possessed someone else's body, Wei Wuxian was even more eager to divorce Wei Yunyi.

"If Young Master Wei doesn't mind, could you tell me about it?"

"I'm sorry, Miss Luo." Wei Wuyang shook his head decisively.

"I was being presumptuous," Luo Huanxi apologized in return.

"No, that's not true. Miss Luo only asked because she genuinely considers me a friend, and I know that. However, I also consider Miss Luo a friend. After all, it would be a loss for me to cause you trouble."

"Um......"

Luo Huanxi nodded slightly, putting herself in his shoes; being in the position of the third young master of the Imperial Preceptor's mansion was indeed very troublesome.

She knew what the Great Wei, a world so devoured by humans, faced, given its incompatible nature.

"By the way, did Young Master Wei try the Soul-Soothing Pill from last night?"

Wei Wuxian's spirits lifted, and he nodded solemnly: "I've taken it. I won't thank you for your great kindness. This pill is very useful to me."

"That's good. However, the ingredients for this pill are somewhat hard to find. Once I have them, I will give Young Master Wei another bottle."

Thank you!

This time, Wei Wuxian's gratitude was truly from the bottom of his heart.

To be honest, he felt a little guilty. Last night, he even considered whether he should just subdue Luo Huanxi.

I never expected Luo Huanxi to treat people with such sincerity today.

In fact, Luo Huanxi also felt guilty, because she had impure intentions from the very beginning when she met Wei Wuxian.

Wei Wuxian remained remarkably open and honest throughout, whether discussing matters of love and relationships or his life of cultivation. He truly lived up to his reputation as the son of a sage.

For some inexplicable reason, Luo Huanxi thought of Wei Yunyi, and sighed inwardly...

After exchanging pleasantries and chatting for a while, Luo Huanxi learned that Wei Wuxian still needed to cultivate, so she took the initiative to say goodbye.

After seeing Luo Huanxi off to the courtyard gate, Wei Wuxian returned to the courtyard with a furrowed brow.

If Luo Huanxi has completely overcome his susceptibility to Qingyun Que, then dealing with his physical body's separation syndrome will likely require some effort...
