"You believe that already?"
Lu Chen was taken aback; he hadn't expected this little princess to be so easily fooled.
Of course, this is a good thing.
"What are you doing here? You haven't been waiting for me all this time, have you? I'm so touched, come here, give me a hug!"
As Lu Chen spoke, he leaned over and gently hugged Nie Qing.
Surprisingly, Nie Qing didn't resist and let him hold her, whispering, "I need to find you, but I can't find you, so I can only wait here. I even thought you were gone!"
"Walk?"
Lu Chen was taken aback for a moment and asked, "Where am I going?"
"have no idea!"
Nie Qing shook his head.
Lu Chen laughed and said, "How could I possibly leave with such a beauty around? I haven't even gotten my hands on her yet!"
"You eat and then leave?"
Nie Qing glanced at him.
"Ahem, a slip of the tongue. Am I that kind of person? Don't you believe me?" Lu Chen was a little embarrassed and almost blurted out what was on his mind.
So he changed the subject once again.
"What's wrong? Why are you in such a hurry?"
Nie Qing had indeed forgotten, her attention returning to reality. After a moment's hesitation, she said, "My father asked me when the wedding date is set, but I..."
At this point, Nie Qing hesitated. She glanced at Lu Chen, saw him frown, and then gritted her teeth and said, "I feel it's too rushed. I'm not mentally prepared to get married, so I..."
Nie Qing felt it was a bit difficult to say, fearing that Lu Chen would be unhappy.
Little did she know that Lu Chen breathed a sigh of relief, but he couldn't show it. Instead, he revealed a hint of disappointment and said, "I understand, it's okay. If you're not ready, then I'll wait until you are. Alright, let's not talk about this anymore, and don't take it to heart. We still have a long way to go! Why think so much? The years of cultivation are long and boundless, why create trouble for yourself? Just live in the present."
This brainwashing really worked. It's unclear whether Nie Qing genuinely believed it or felt that Lu Chen was also very sad, but at least she felt some comfort.
"You're right, I think it's still early and there's no rush."
After saying this, Nie Qing suddenly thought of something, looked at Lu Chen with a serious expression, and said, "I suddenly remembered, since you were in seclusion to cultivate, why did you go to a place like that?"
What do you think?
Lu Chen's heart skipped a beat. What was bound to happen had finally happened; there was no escaping it.
Seeing Lu Chen's hesitant expression, Nie Qing's expression changed instantly.
"The mortal world tempers the heart."
Lu Chen's mind raced, combining the many online novels he had read in his previous life with his current situation, quickly forming a self-consistent logic.
As expected, Nie Qing looked completely bewildered when he heard the words "refining the heart in the mortal world," as this concept simply did not exist in the Red Moon Star's cultivation system.
Moreover, she had never even heard of it.
When Lu Chen saw a good opportunity, he said, "The so-called tempering of the heart in the mortal world means constantly tempering one's true nature while living in the mortal world. This is a kind of cultivation, which is not only about improving physical energy, but also about tempering one's inner will. Only in this way can one achieve higher accomplishments and elevate one's soul realm."
Upon hearing this, Nie Qing suddenly felt that it made a lot of sense. She carefully sensed it and, sure enough, Lu Chen's soul realm had indeed improved.
Moreover, the progress is extremely rapid.
Nie Qing knew how difficult it was to improve one's soul realm, yet, in just half a month, Lu Chen's soul realm had grown significantly, which was simply unbelievable.
"Is it really as he said, that the mortal world refines the heart?"
Nie Qing suddenly became extremely interested in this cultivation method.
If I could also break through this barrier and advance further in my cultivation, that would undoubtedly be a huge surprise.
"Then teach me how to cultivate my mind in this mortal world?"
Nie Qing couldn't help but press for more information.
Lu Chen originally wanted to find an excuse to brush it off, but seeing Nie Qing's serious expression, he suddenly felt that he might not be able to fool her.
If the secret is exposed immediately, the consequences will be unimaginable.
"First, you must understand what your heart is thinking, what you are pursuing, and what your path is. Only by understanding these things can you hone your will, continuously strengthen your martial arts heart, and elevate your soul to a higher realm."
Lu Chen's expression at this moment truly exuded the air of a master, speaking eloquently, though it was all just empty rhetoric.
In fact, even Lu Chen himself didn't believe it.
However, seeing Nie Qing's thoughtful expression, he felt that this woman might actually believe it.
At this moment, Nie Qing was constantly recalling what Lu Chen had just said, and she kept asking herself what she was really looking for, which left her feeling lost.
Seeing her thoughtful expression, Lu Chen didn't disturb her. He just stood quietly to the side, thinking about how to continue fooling her if he couldn't fool her later.
However, Nie Qing seemed to think that what Lu Chen said made a lot of sense, and she completely believed it.
After a long while, Nie Qing suddenly said something.
"I'm going into seclusion! I'll come back to find you after I emerge from seclusion."
After saying that, Nie Qing flew away in a hurry.
She had just had a realization, and this feeling lingered, preventing her from maintaining inner peace. She needed to go into seclusion and reflect on it.
Otherwise, she simply wouldn't be able to concentrate on anything else right now.
Lu Chen nodded, watching her gradually disappear into the distance, and the expression on his face finally relaxed a lot.
