"I'm not saying this to send you away, but the situation with Zhao Ziyi and Su Chun is indeed of utmost importance, and you have to personally go back to Wuji Sect to keep an eye on it. The situation there is complicated, and I really can't rest easy if someone else goes. Only if you go in person can I feel at ease."
Fang Han frowned slightly, a hint of worry in his expression, and slowly said, "Ouyang Yan is a woman with a deep mind and many tricks up her sleeve. She is like a venomous snake hiding in the dark, and you never know when she will pounce out and bite you. If I don't bring this woman to justice as soon as possible, I will feel like I have a big stone hanging over my heart, and I will never be able to put my mind at ease."
Chen Tingxue's gaze was fixed on Fang Han, her eyes filled with longing and anticipation, and she asked softly, "Then I want to see you. Can I come to see you anytime?"
Her voice was soft and melodious, as if carrying a hint of sweet temptation.
At this moment, her eyes, as she looked at Fang Han, were already filled with tender emotions.
Now, she has truly developed feelings for Fang Han, and these feelings are like flowers quietly blooming in spring, slowly spreading in her heart.
Moreover, she and Gongsun Yaoqin had already formed a defensive alliance. In her heart, she would never allow any other woman to get too close to Fang Han except for Gongsun Yaoqin, as if Fang Han had become her exclusive treasure.
Fang Han smiled slightly and said gently, "Of course you can come to me anytime. However, you have made great strides in your cultivation recently, and your progress is astonishing. Moreover, your foundation is extremely solid, like a towering mountain, steady and reliable. Before breaking through to the Spirit Embryo Realm, in your current state, you don't need me to help you much anymore."
After a pause, Fang Han's expression turned serious, and he earnestly instructed, "However, you must remember one thing: all breakthroughs must not be forced. Cultivation is like a long journey; you must take one step at a time, steadily and surely. You must cultivate yourself to the Great Perfection realm, and then breakthroughs will naturally come naturally, just like streams flowing into a river, flowing naturally without the need for external force to push them forward."
Chen Tingxue didn't seem to care much about Fang Han's instructions. She bit her lip and suddenly mustered up her courage to ask, "Fang Han, don't you like me at all? Don't you want me to stay by your side at all?"
Her eyes were filled with anticipation and nervousness, as if she were waiting for an answer that would determine her lifelong happiness.
It seemed that she hadn't listened to anything Fang Han had just told her. At this moment, what she cared about most was Fang Han's feelings for her, and these feelings were like a fire burning fiercely in her heart.
Fang Han's lips curled up slightly as he deliberately teased, "We cultivators are single-minded in our pursuit of the Dao and don't talk about feelings. Feelings are like clouds and mist; they can easily make people lose their way and waste precious time in cultivation."
In fact, she knew, of course, that Chen Tingxue had feelings for him.
When Chen Tingxue and Gongsun Yaoqin formed an alliance, he overheard their conversation and understood Chen Tingxue's feelings.
Faced with such a beautiful woman, he was actually somewhat tempted, but could only politely decline.
After all, this woman is a true behemoth in Tianyuan County, with an extremely prestigious status. If he can't give her a proper title, there's no need to provoke her.
Chen Tingxue's cheeks flushed slightly, like the magnificent sunset on the horizon. She argued, "How can cultivators not talk about feelings? With a cultivation partner, we can support each other and cultivate together. Maybe we can even cultivate faster. How wonderful it would be if two people were of one mind and explored the mysteries of cultivation together."
Her face actually turned slightly red, and she looked as shy and cute as a young girl.
In reality, she is quite old. However, for many years, she has focused all her energy on cultivation and has never been in a relationship. That is why she is so shy when it comes to matters of the heart, just like a young girl experiencing her first love, feeling both expectant and nervous when facing someone she likes.
"The emotional entanglements between men and women are like invisible threads that can quietly bind me and make me feel shackled. But I do not want to be bound by such shackles."
Fang Han sighed and spoke his mind.
Upon hearing this, Chen Tingxue frowned slightly, then gently but firmly retorted, "I do not agree with your view. In my opinion, true Daoist partners are not bound by those troublesome entanglements. True Daoist partners should support each other, rely on each other, and accompany each other until old age, appreciating every scene of life together, through the long years."
Fang Han was slightly taken aback. After a moment of stunned silence, he slowly said, "Fine, let matters of the heart take their natural course."
In fact, in his previous life, he had eight Daoist companions.
However, these eight women were all exceptionally beautiful and talented, yet they all harbored ulterior motives, constantly demanding things from him. When he encountered difficulties, they never offered him a helping hand, nor did they ever do anything truly meaningful for him.
At this moment, Chen Tingxue's words made Fang Han keenly realize that Chen Tingxue seemed to be fundamentally different from the eight vicious women in his previous life.
Chen Tingxue seemed to want to say something more to further express her views.
Just then, a nimble bluebird, like a green lightning bolt, swiftly swooped down from the sky.
Its body is light and agile, and its feathers shimmer with a charming luster under the sunlight.
The bluebird flew straight to a small wooden house that the Fang family had specially built.
Although the small wooden house is not large, it is very well decorated, with a comfortable bird's nest and a small water trough inside.
