"Making this decision was not easy, and I had to be cautious. What I was trying my best for was not victory."

"I just hope that fewer of them will die. This war is unavoidable, and I have no way to retreat."

"I am not as noble and powerful as you think. In this game of chess, I am both the player and the piece."

"When Xiao Ai found me for the second time, I was sitting in a pile of rubble. All around me were the corpses of the enemy and my personal guards. There were seven of us in total, including me."

"She still says I am the best king, the man she has chosen, and the future of countless worlds."

“I may not be, but she chose me, so I have to be.”

"To achieve one's goals, any means necessary can be used; dignity, status, or even loved ones can be sacrificed."

"Even I am now caught in the middle of it all."

Su Cheng spoke calmly, as if he were talking about someone else's business.

Ye Qinghan wasn't stupid; his master's words were very straightforward.

But Ye Qinghan was more direct: "Master, how do you think Qinghan got out of Fuyue Hall?"

“You have misunderstood your teacher. I hope you can have some reverence. The world is vast, and even what I see may not be the real world.”

"What lies behind the rules? Who's behind those scoundrels?"

"We know almost nothing, and we are fighting endlessly without knowing who the enemy is. It's ridiculous, but that's the truth."

"So-called immortal techniques are nothing more than exploiting loopholes in the rules; compared to true power, they are utterly insignificant."

"What I want to say is that Qinghan should cherish herself."

"Compared to those meaningless things, Qinghan's survival is the most important thing to me."

As if suddenly realizing, her master had gone through all that trouble just to tell her to temper her temper and be kinder to others.

"I am not as omnipotent as Qinghan thinks, stronger than the weak and weaker than the strong. I believe Xiao Ai has never said such a thing."

"Even as a teacher, there are times when I rack my brains and find myself at a loss."

"There were times when I would secretly cry under the ruins."

"I am a lonely person, without friends, relatives, or lovers."

"Before Qinghan, I only trusted Xiao Ai. Xiao Ai was my everything."

"But things are different for me now. I still have disciples like Qinghan and Shiyao."

"As your teacher, I both hope that Qinghan will always remain that bouncy little fox, and I also hope that Qinghan will quickly grow into a full-grown fox, so that I can be at ease..."

Ye Qinghan was always good at seizing his master's weaknesses, after all, his master had said it many times in his heart.

"What are you reassured about?"

Su Cheng was visibly taken aback for a moment, then smiled and said, "There's nothing there. Seeing Qinghan grow up makes me feel at ease."

Ye Qinghan was incredibly clever. After saying all that, what he really wanted to say was to leave her.

However, Ye Qinghan was in no hurry to reveal it. According to Hei Yao, his master had not left him during his lifetime, had he?

Although she never took the time she was nearly killed by a blade to heart, it probably planted a seed in her master's heart.

"Master, Qinghan has remembered."

Su Cheng looked at Ye Qinghan in front of him with a look of satisfaction.

Ye Qinghan has really grown up. Even if he doesn't say it, he can feel that his personal disciple is no longer as young and impetuous as he used to be.

Su Cheng didn't know if this was a good thing, or if what he was thinking was the optimal solution, but making enemies everywhere was definitely not the way to become a king.

"Qinghan, actually I don't know whether growing up, or rather maturing, is a good thing for you."

"But your teacher only hopes that you can be safe and sound, do you understand?"

"I once knew someone with a temperament similar to Qinghan. He was quite powerful, and if we disagreed, blood would be spilled."

"To be honest, a person who is quick to avenge wrongs and decisive in action is naturally someone that Master would like."

"But when he died, he didn't even leave behind a complete body."

"I do not expect Qinghan to be tolerant in everything, but rather I want Qinghan to think thrice before acting."

"In this respect, we can learn from Xiao Ai. I believe you can see that Xiao Ai never acts ostentatiously, but no one dares to underestimate her, right?"

Ye Qinghan nodded slightly and said nothing more.

Su Cheng nodded and didn't say anything more. This wasn't criticism, but more like a negotiation.

Seeing Ye Qinghan lost in thought, Su Cheng felt that this was enough. Su Cheng didn't want the atmosphere to be too oppressive, especially since Ye Qinghan might crawl into his bed tonight.

Su Cheng then turned and left, as he had some things to discuss with Xiao Ai.

For this world, the fall of the first god meant a short period of rest, but for Su Cheng, there was no such thing as rest.

"Qinghan, I will leave the door open for you tonight."

Ye Qinghan bowed slowly, respectfully seeing off his master, while glancing at the Ling Shuang sword beside him.

The Frost Sword was leaning against his master's desk. Even though it was so close, Ye Qinghan didn't intend to touch it; he just gazed at it from afar.

Master kept his word and did indeed leave the door open for Ye Qinghan tonight, but Ye Qinghan did not go.

Generally speaking, Ye Qinghan would never miss such an opportunity, especially since his master had already given the order.

But perhaps this is Ye Qinghan's answer; she still needs to cultivate, and she must seize every minute and every second.

Ye Qinghan casually handed the pink handcuffs to Yu Lan and walked towards the Spirit Pool Palace without saying a word.
