Li Ning had just reached her limit, and with no one around, Xie Wei became her lifeline. She had deliberately dragged Xie Wei into it, but she hadn't expected the elders to agree to let Xie Wei undergo the test, even calling it a game to prevent Xie Wei from refusing. Thinking about it now, she realized she hadn't actually asked Xie Wei's opinion.
Thinking of this, a hint of apology appeared in her cold eyes, and she lowered her head, unsure of what to do.
As if sensing Li Ning's apology, Xie Wei waved his hand, "Forget it, this young master is magnanimous and won't hold a grudge. If you feel guilty, then focus on improving your strength and passing the test as soon as possible."
What's done is done. Xie Wei isn't the kind of person who regrets his decisions. He only agreed to the game because he wanted to challenge himself, and it would also make the Underworld owe him a favor, so why not?
Xu Daiwei, who had overheard the whole conversation, was displeased. "What?! So she's going to stay at our house, and we don't even know how many days she'll stay. I don't agree." She felt a strange sense of crisis about this girl living under the same roof as her, as if her things were being targeted.
Xie Wei didn't know what was wrong with this little girl. Maybe she felt insecure. He patted Xu Daiwei's head and calmed her down.
Her tone softened immediately: "Okay, fine, seeing how pitiful you are, I agree to let you stay here."
Xie Wei handed Xu Daiwei the copy of "Taiyin" she had made that morning, saying, "A sensible little sister will get a reward."
Xu Daiwei was surprised that Xie Wei had accomplished what he asked for so quickly. It felt so good to be cared about.
Then, after glancing at Li Ning in front of her, she kissed Xie Wei's cheek and said, "Thank you, brother," before skipping back to her room.
Li Ning paid no attention to Xu Daiwei's childish behavior, only to be curious about the martial arts manual Xie Wei had given Xu Daiwei. Even without seeing anything, it held a strange attraction for her. But since it belonged to someone else, she couldn't covet it; this was Li Ning's principle. She withdrew her gaze.
Xie Wei had already noticed Li Ning's little trick and smiled approvingly. He started thinking about finding some time to copy it for Li Ning as well. Li Ning's cultivation path was already set, and he only needed to copy the mental cultivation method of "Taiyin". It would also benefit Xie Wei if Li Ning became stronger sooner.
Xie Wei has a very handsome smile, but he doesn't usually show this side of himself in front of outsiders. Otherwise, even if he weren't the young master of the Xie family, many girls would still be eager to pursue him.
Li Ning didn't understand the meaning behind Xie Wei's smile; she just felt a bit more confused about Xie Wei.
