Qin Niang glared at her through gritted teeth.

"Ye Qianqian, do you know what I hate most is your 'pretending to be stupid' attitude!"

"You say I'm better than you in everything, but there's one thing you're better at than me."

"It's because you're good at playing dumb. Every time you play dumb in front of your master, he feels sorry for you and then spoils you a little more."

"Only that old man Laozi wouldn't see through such a trick!"

Ye Qianqian sighed.

"I'm not pretending to be stupid, I really am stupid."

"Who wouldn't want to improve rapidly? Don't I want to become a fairy with a high level of cultivation?"

"Who would want to be relegated to a job like tending a boiler every day just because their cultivation level isn't high enough?"

"Just like my senior brothers and sisters, I can cultivate freely in the Heavenly Realm!"

"I also want to make my master proud."

But my heart is willing, but my strength is insufficient—

"Shut up! Ye Qianqian, it's just the two of us now!"

"You don't need to play dumb in front of me!"

Ye Qianqian frowned.

Believe it or not, it's the truth.

"My master didn't despise my stupidity and taught me with his heart, which is why I was able to improve little by little."

"You're talking nonsense!"

"Favoritism is favoritism!"

"Don't give me so many excuses!"

"I don't believe in these things!"

"Ye Qianqian, Cang Yun helped you, everyone is helping you, but nobody is helping me!"

"Help you with what? Help you kill me? Help you kill my concubine Xu and my mother?"

"Even if you resent me, what does that have to do with my family? Why won't you let them go?!"
