"Hmm... that seems to make sense. So, the safest person is the stronger of the two? You can protect yourself and also be able to protect the other person."
"That's right."
"But..." Si Rong sighed. "What if I can't catch up with him no matter what? I'm studying hard, but you know I'm the worst in my sect in terms of mastery of magic. In the sect competition, my eldest and youngest brothers both made it to the finals. Lin Wei, Meng Meng, and Ah Niu are also further along than I am."
Shen Qingmang patted her head lovingly. "We cultivators aren't judged solely by our combat abilities. Strength isn't just measured by this single criterion. In my opinion, our Ah Rong is superior to others in many ways."
"Really? Really? Master, you are not kidding me?" Si Rong's eyes were full of anticipation.
"Of course not. For example, you are very patient. When you teach them calligraphy, you demonstrate over and over again without getting tired of it. You get along well with your classmates and are kind to others. The junior students like you very much. Sui Han and A Xin are far inferior to you in this respect. Sui Han..." Shen Qingmang sighed softly, "He doesn't care much about the junior students, and they also feel distant from him. And A Xin is very competitive and has a very hot temper. He is always in conflict with others."
Si Rong beamed. "Hearing Master say that, I feel pretty good about myself. But will all this be effective when I'm in trouble?"
"If you wish to establish yourself, help others to establish themselves; if you wish to succeed, help others to succeed. A truly benevolent person is not only excellent themselves, but also does his best to help others. Arong, you have achieved both. Even if you encounter difficulties, there will be many people willing to stand by you and face them together with you. This is not relying on others, but uniting the masses."
"Hehe... Hey, that's not right." Si Rong frowned.
"What's wrong again?" Shen Qingmang yawned quietly.
"I clearly came here to ask about Master and Senior Brother's situation, why are you getting so off-topic? Master, how did you and Senior Brother end up together?"
At the same time, Gu Sui Han pushed open the door and looked at Hao Xin who had returned, his face as gloomy as the thick clouds before a rainstorm.
"What do you want?"
"I forgot to ask the most important thing just now." Hao Xin slipped in through the crack in the door. "Um, Big Brother...how did you and Master get together?"
Shen Qingmang and Gu Suihan: "It's too complicated to explain clearly."
Si Rong looked incredulous. "Master, everything is clear. Isn't it even easier to explain something as simple as love?"
"Oh, that's when I found out that I liked him, and he found out that he liked me, and then we confessed to each other and got together." Shen Qingmang said casually.
Si Rong pouted. "Master—good Master, please tell me. What magical powers does Senior Brother possess? You were clearly opposed to a mentor-disciple relationship before. Could it be because of the illusion of the Love Trial Arena? But Li Xiwei and Senior Brother have different personalities, and you and His Majesty are even less alike. You are simply two completely different people."
"It's not because of the love trial stage."
"That's because of the Passion of Love? Oh my god!" Si Rong exclaimed. "Aren't couples who haven't changed their minds after going through the Passion of Love... rare? They say the bond between couples who remain in love after leaving the Passion of Love is stronger than gold. You actually confirmed your feelings for each other at the Passion of Love. Isn't that even rarer? Doesn't that mean you won't be apart even after ascending?"
"When did you and Axin get together?" Shen Qingmang asked back, "You were secretly doing it right under my nose, and I didn't even notice."
She was certain that Si Rong and Hao Xin would be together sooner or later, but she had always thought that they were still in the stage of "the boy rides a bamboo horse and plays with the green plum around the bed". Today she found that the two of them were already in the stage of "the boy only raises his brows at the age of fifteen, and is willing to be dust and ashes together".
"After I came out of the love audition stage."
"Who spoke up first?" Shen Qingmang instantly became alert and asked with great interest.
Si Rong's face flushed slightly. "It was him. We were arguing. He said I wasn't as steady as Yao Yi, and I said he wasn't as well-behaved as Zhuo Huanqing. Then, as we were arguing, he suddenly said he hadn't lived enough in his life and wanted to continue living with me."
The corners of Shen Qingmang's mouth twitched. "That's it? Isn't that too straightforward?"
Si Rong asked curiously, "Did Senior Brother say anything sweet and affectionate?"
"Uh..." Shen Qingmang was speechless for a moment. "It was mainly me who said it."
"What?" Si Rong's mouth opened wide. "Did you say that first?"
"Damn it! Was it Master who brought this up first?" Hao Xin almost slipped off his chair and quickly hugged the table.
"Okay, okay, you have asked all the questions you need to ask, go back to sleep." Gu Sui Han said.
"Big Brother, your tone is really becoming more and more like that of a master. How long have you two been together? I'm not going to find another master in a few days, am I?"
"You can call me if you want."
"I won't. Big Brother, you're being completely taken advantage of by Master." Hao Xin stood up and patted him on the shoulder. "It's really not easy."
"Master is much more reasonable than Si Rong."
"What's wrong with Ah Rong? Ah Rong is so cute!" Hao Xin immediately retorted: "Although she looks a little silly and does things in a confused way, she is also very interesting."
"I don't care whether she's interesting or not. Only the person who drinks the water knows whether it's hot or cold. Just live your own life and don't tell us what to do."
"Look at what I just said, you are becoming more and more like our master, quoting scriptures every few sentences..." Before Hao Xin could finish his words, Gu Sui Han opened the door and pushed him out.
The next moment, Si Rong was also pushed out of Shen Qingmang's room.
The two stood in the yard, looking at each other, and said in unison: "You were kicked out too?"
Si Rong finished speaking, his eyes narrowed with a smile. "Who was it that swore so confidently during the day that he wasn't curious at all?"
"I'm just concerned about my fellow disciples! The eldest brother is so cold and indifferent. What if I can't please the master and get abandoned in a few days?"
"You talk like you're going to please me, but you still have a small quarrel every three days and a big quarrel every five days."
"You're not angry, then. I see you enjoy quarreling." Hao Xin pointed at Shen Qingmang's room with the tip of his chin. "Hey, how come you're so powerful that you were kicked out by Master? Wasn't she in a good mood today?"
"Ahahahaha... I just said a few fair words." Si Rong laughed dryly.
"What's fair?"
"Master is the best woman in the world. No one is worthy of her. Big Brother needs to keep working hard." Si Rong felt a little aggrieved. "I'm telling the truth. Big Brother isn't even worthy. Big Brother is good, but he's not better than Big Brother, right?"
Hao Xin sneered: "You deserve to be kicked out."
"Then why are you doing this?"
"I'm going back to sleep, so stop imagining things."
"Hey, please explain yourself clearly first!"
