Qin Niang looked disdainful.
"What? Could it be that I could become a god on par with you, an old man?"
Laozi did not answer this question.
With a flick of his whisk.
A scene appeared in front of Qin Niang.
The image depicts a deity enveloped in golden light.
And her appearance was clearly that of Qin Niang.
Qin Niang frowned.
"Is this god... me?"
Lao Jun nodded.
“Every deity has a cultivation path.”
"If you always stay true to yourself, then your trajectory will not change, and the final result of your cultivation will be what you see. If you deviate from your true nature, then your trajectory will change, and the final result of your cultivation will be far from what you imagined!"
Qin Niang stared blankly at the goddess with the captivating face.
I can't believe it.
What she had been waiting for was right in front of her.
So close, yet so far away.
Qin Niang murmured to herself.
"In other words, if I hadn't taken Ye Qianqian to heart from the beginning, my cultivation path could have ended up like this!"
Lao Jun nodded.
"Yes, it's a pity you've deviated from your original path and will never be able to cultivate yourself into a god."
Qin Niang's tears finally flowed.
"I... I actually gave up such a wonderful cultivation experience for the sake of so-called fairness!"
"If I hadn't cared about fairness from the beginning, would the outcome have been different?"
Lao Jun shook his head.
"Actually, I treated every fairy child fairly from the beginning. It's just that you saw it as favoritism. In the end, it was you who wanted me to show favoritism to one fairy child. Your original intention changed a lot from the very beginning!"
"Of course, there's no way to cultivate to this level!"
Qin Niang lowered her head.
I reminisced about the years I spent as Laozi's disciple.
In truth, Laozi also showed her affection.
Qin Niang cried for a while, then laughed.
"So, the fairness I wanted was for you, Master, to show me more favoritism! But I never considered whether that would be fair to the other celestial children?"
"Even if I am the one who is favored, what about those fairy children who think that Master is biased? Could they not become the second Qin Niang?"
Lao Jun nodded.
"It's not too late for you to understand these things now!"
Qin Niang thought for a moment.
"Master, may I call you Master one more time?"
Lao Jun nodded.
"No matter what, I will always be your master!"
"However, you have already made a grave mistake, and you still cannot escape the fate of being annihilated."
"I know I should accept this outcome."
"I just want to go to the alchemy room one last time, after all, that's where my cultivation began."
"Um!"
As Lao Jun spoke, he took Qin Niang to the alchemy room.
Two little fairy boys were fanning the fire beside the alchemy furnace.
Just like when Qin Niang first started his training.
Qin Niang walked over.
Lao Jun said.
"You used to be just as straightforward."
Qin Niang nodded.
“I remember everything.”
"Master, I am about to leave. Please accept my bow!"
As she spoke, Qin Niang knelt down before Laozi.
Lao Jun reached out his hands to help her up.
However.
At that very moment.
Qin Niang suddenly made a move.
They stole Laozi's whisk.
Lao Jun was taken aback.
"Qin Niang, you—"
Qin Niang sneered.
"idiot!"
Do you really think I've admitted my mistake?
"Let me tell you, I have never regretted anything I have done!"
"Don't say I went astray at the beginning! No matter what, I, Qin Niang, will never regret the path I chose!"
"If I hadn't admitted my mistake in the first place, how would I have had the chance to steal your whisk!"
"I know, this thing is a magical artifact to you!"
"Tell me, if I use my whisk to overturn your alchemy furnace, won't this place turn into a sea of fire?"
Lao Jun frowned as he looked at her.
Qin Niang's expression remained cold and gloomy.
"Anyway, I'm going to be completely destroyed soon!"
"It's not like one more bad thing will make a difference!"
"So what if I did it? I'm all gone now, what can you do to me?"
"Do you really think that I, the villain, will be redeemed at the last minute?"
"No way! A villain is a villain, and I will stick to my choice to the end!"
Qin Niang said, and vigorously waved her whisk.
However, there was no reaction in the alchemy furnace.
Qin Niang frowned.
He waved his whisk again.
However, there was still no response.
Qin Niang was stunned.
Why is this happening?
"Because this whisk will only obey my commands."
Lao Jun waved his hand.
The whisk flew from Qin Niang's hand back into Lao Jun's hand.
Qin Niang broke down at that moment.
"Why?!"
“I told my disciples before that this whisk will only obey my orders. You found the class boring and secretly slipped out to watch how others cultivate immortal arts, which is why you missed that class.”
"The classes you skipped back then will become something that backfires on you."
"Now you're reaping the consequences of your actions."
As Laozi spoke, he picked up his whisk.
Qin Niang nervously took two steps back.
"Are you really going to make my soul disappear?"
