After Song Yan rejected that senior sister, Nian Wanzhou was so happy she almost jumped for joy. Before he returned, she quickly ran back to Wei Wenru's side.

"Senior sister, senior brother rejected that senior sister, that's pretty good!" Nian Wanzhou said with a smile to Wei Wenru. It seems that even in this book world, her father is still as charming as ever, and he really upholds male virtues!

There are so many suitors, but it seems that the senior brother never uses his excellence to go around fishing for romance or engaging in ambiguous relationships.

My heart is only for my senior sister!

Just like her father, the person she loves most is her mother, and then her daughter.

Not bad, not bad!

Wei Wenru couldn't help but smile. She knew Song Yan had always been wonderful. "Your senior brother has always been this good!"

This is something that everyone in the entire sect agrees on.

Song Yan then hurriedly returned to the courtyard and found the two children still sitting and eating and drinking, not in a hurry at all.

He coughed lightly, stopped his anxious steps, not wanting to reveal too much of his little emotions. What if his senior sister thought he was still so impulsive at his age?

Hearing footsteps, Nian Wanzhou turned around and smiled sweetly at him, "Senior Brother, you're back!"

Wei Wenru also looked up: "Sit down."

Song Yan sat down in the chair next to her, picked up the teapot, and filled the two of them with water.

Nian Wanzhou tactfully picked up her toys and went to play under a nearby tree, leaving the two of them alone.

"Junior brother, this is a gift for you. You gave me a gift when we went on our training last time, and now it's my turn to give you one as your senior sister." Wei Wenru didn't stand on ceremony and took out the small gifts she had prepared earlier: a jade pendant and several magical artifacts.

"All three magical artifacts are used for undergoing tribulations and can help you break through to the Nascent Soul stage."

"Although I don't know if you still need them, these magical artifacts were all crafted by the Fifth Elder at my request. They are all top-grade items, so you can take them with you when you go."

Wei Wenru placed everything in front of him, revealing a long-lost gentle smile, which was truly gentle.

"Senior sister, thank you!" Song Yan solemnly accepted these treasures without hesitation or refusal. These were things her senior sister had gone to great lengths to get for her.

He will definitely treasure it!

Seeing him like this, Wei Wenru felt both gratified and happy. Song Yan had finally matured and was no longer like a child, which made her feel very gratified.

"Senior sister, I..." Song Yan looked at the things on the table, hesitating to speak.

These things were so wonderful that he almost felt unworthy of them, and he still couldn't bring himself to say it.

Nian Wanzhou was extremely anxious watching from outside, and she became very worried.

Good heavens, how did Dad manage to win Mom's heart with all that dawdling?! It's driving me crazy!!

"Junior brother, what do you want to say to me?" Wei Wenru looked at him, waiting for his next words.

Song Yan lowered his eyes and pursed his lips. "Senior Sister, I know I... am not good enough for you, but I will work hard to cultivate, follow in your footsteps, and stand by your side as soon as possible!"

He mustered his courage and spoke the words he had been suppressing for so long. His heart was pounding, and his palms were sweaty. He lowered his head, not daring to look Wei Wenru in the eye, afraid of being rejected.

Wei Wenru was first surprised, then smiled, her heart pounding wildly.

He actually said he would follow in my footsteps!

Both knew each other's feelings, but they hesitated to take the first step. Now that they had opened their hearts to each other, they finally mustered up the courage to express their thoughts in a subtle way.

"Okay, I'll be waiting for you!" Wei Wenru replied frankly and cheerfully.

Song Yan's face was flushed, her heart was pounding, and her hands were clenched together nervously; she almost buried her head in her clothes.

It looked like a small piece of paper being blown up, floating gently in mid-air.

Wei Wenru's smile grew even brighter.

The two knew the concerns of the sect elders and their master, who were afraid that their romantic relationship would affect their cultivation. After all, they were disciples on whom the sect had placed high hopes, and they couldn't just abandon the sect and waste the effort and resources the sect had invested in them just because they had someone they liked.

Therefore, neither of them ever forced anything, and they were both willing to wait for the right opportunity, for each other to become stronger and better.

The two exchanged a knowing smile, both understanding what the other meant, but neither daring to be too explicit.

Both of them are very career-oriented and naturally want to become excellent first. Only after becoming strong can they fight alongside their senior sister and shoulder the responsibility of the sect. This is their common pursuit.

It can be said that the two of them prioritized their sect over their romance.

Wei Wenru and Song Yan were both well aware of this.

Song Yan knew this, and his senior sister was also very clear about it, but neither of them rushed to break the ice. They supported each other and gradually became better.

"Senior sister, I will try my best!" Song Yan clenched her fist and made a serious promise.

Seeing his resolute gaze, Wei Wenru felt a warmth in her heart. She reached out and patted Song Yan's head, whispering, "Junior brother, let's cheer each other on."

Such a talented and obedient disciple was the source of her master's, her father's, greatest pride in his life.

Nian Wanzhou was still playing with her toys outside when she saw the two of them smiling at each other, their eyes crinkling with joy.

It felt like witnessing my own parents' love story firsthand; I was incredibly excited.

But she had to pretend that she hadn't noticed anything and knew nothing, lest she scare those two reserved adults, hehehe.
