Fairy, wait a minute, let me explain.

Chapter 7: Gifted with extraordinary talent in a small county town, only to discover upon arriving i

Princess House.

The maids who had accompanied the Ninth Princess out of the palace were all silent now, because they could all see that Wei Yunyi was in a very bad mood after returning from her trip.

The rear garden features ponds, pavilions, and waterside terraces.

Luo Huanxi straightened up slightly from the balustrade, looking at Wei Yunyi who was walking towards her with a cold face with some amusement.

"how?"

Wei Yunyi sat down beside her, leaning back, and closed her eyes wearily: "You know perfectly well why I'm asking."

"Huh? You actually caught me in the red-light district?"

Wei Yunyi's expression grew increasingly grim.

"You didn't pull him off some girl's bed, did you?"

"If you consider me like you, how could I possibly go to a place like that?"

"What's wrong with that kind of place?" Luo Huanxi asked in a rather nonchalant tone.

Wei Yunyi tilted her head slightly and rolled her eyes: "It's easy for you to say that when you're not in that situation. If you were married and your husband went to places like that every day, would you still be able to laugh?"

"That only proves that I'm incompetent."

"you--"

Seeing Wei Yunyi glare at her, Luo Huanxi quickly stopped smiling and said, "I'm incompetent. It's easy for me to talk when I'm not the one suffering. Okay?"

After catching her breath, Luo Huanxi continued, "Tell me, what happened this time? If he had gone to the red-light district, you wouldn't have acted like this."

Wei Yunyi sighed deeply, saying with a sense of disappointment and frustration at his lack of ambition, "He asked me to write him a letter of divorce."

"Huh?" Luo Huanxi was slightly surprised: "You taught him such a lesson last time, and he still dared to mention it? It seems our Prince Consort isn't as useless as you say; at least he has some backbone!"

"What a load of rubbish!"

Wei Yunyi rarely swore.

Realizing her rudeness, she took a deep breath, composed herself, and ultimately just shook her head.

"So what are you thinking? Should you write him a letter of divorce?"

"How is that possible?"

"I'm talking about your own thoughts. If possible, would you like to divorce him?"

"Of course I want to."

Wei Yunyi spoke without the slightest hesitation, but then added, "But you also know that this is absolutely impossible. For the sake of Great Wei, for my father, for the Imperial Preceptor, for him, and for myself, I cannot do such a thing."

The atmosphere fell silent for a moment.

After a moment, Wei Yunyi spoke, somewhat bewildered.

"I really can't understand how Uncle Wei, a sage of unparalleled wisdom, could have such an incompetent son. The affairs of our Great Wei Kingdom are so difficult. Just the numerous sects, large and small, within our borders are like powder kegs. Does he really not understand that the essence of his marriage to me is that if the world were to collapse one day, he would have a place to stay?"

"Didn't you say yourself that he became like this after that horrific event in his childhood...?"

"He still has a path to follow in the world of martial arts!"

"But you also know that martial arts is a dead end, and one cannot glimpse the Great Way."

"Even martial artists can become grandmasters who command respect across an entire continent!"

"Your expectations are too high. Looking across the entire world, how many Grandmasters are there in total?"

"I didn't make any demands on him. I know that the assassination attempt back then was a huge blow to him, but that's no excuse for his dissolute lifestyle and endless partying. You've seen it for over a year since you came to Wei with me. I don't expect him to become a virtuous gentleman through his studies, nor do I ask him to become a grandmaster in martial arts. As long as he's diligent and conscientious, I, Wei Yunyi, will accept him as my husband!"

Luo Huanxi raised an eyebrow: "Really?"

Wei Yunyi glanced at her irritably: "I may be angry, but I'm already married to him. How can I deny it?"

"oh......"

Luo Huanxi thought for a moment, but still didn't dare to make a promise and said: "Leave this to me."

......

......

With only a wisp of his mind remaining to control his physical body as he returned to the academy, Wei Wuxian focused his attention once again on his avatar, Li Jingming.

At this moment, his avatar was dressed in a white robe, and his hair was fixed in place with an iron hairpin.

"Thank you very much, Brother Qi. It is truly difficult to say this."

Standing opposite Wei Wuxian were a brother and sister. The younger sister was wearing a short, narrow-sleeved blouse with a long skirt that reached her chest. She was only about five feet tall, with a round face, red lips and white teeth, and looked quite cute and endearing.

Her elder brother looked to be just coming of age, dressed in a brocade robe. His face resembled his sister's, but his features were more angular. However, his expression was very serious, and he did not seem easy to get along with.

Of course, this only appears to be true; otherwise, Wei Wuxian wouldn't have any clothes to wear.

Qi Yuncheng smiled and waved his hand: "It's alright, Brother Li, you don't need to take it to heart."

Qi Qianmo, standing to the side, still had slightly red ears from Wei Wuxian's white hair and the sight of him leaping out holding two tree branches. Her big eyes were darting around as she couldn't help but scrutinize the handsome man in his clothes.

It was really strange; he said it was too embarrassing to talk about, but judging from his expression, he didn't feel ashamed at all.

If it were her, she would want to dig three feet into the ground and bury herself on the spot.

After exchanging a few pleasantries, the three of them immediately walked side by side.

"Brother Li, aren't you from the Great Wei?" Qi Yuncheng suddenly asked.

Wei Wuxian pondered for a moment: "To say yes or no is both."

Faced with this answer, Qi Yuncheng simply nodded without asking further questions. However, Qi Qianmo couldn't help but interject, "What do you mean by 'yes' and 'no'?"

"Uh... Miss Qi, you can understand it as me being born in the Great Wei, but raised in a foreign land."

"Then that's not it, why make it so complicated..."

Qi Yuncheng rubbed his younger sister's head, and she made a face.

"So, Brother Li, you've returned to the Great Wei to study and cultivate Taoism at the Taoist academy in Phoenix City?"

"I'm just doing this on someone's behalf."

In a casual reply, Wei Wuxian countered with, "Where is Brother Qi?"

Qi Yuncheng glanced down at his younger sister and couldn't help but smile: "I'm bringing my sister to the Taoist academy."

"Go to school? The academy's enrollment period is in the spring, right?"

"Yes, my sister was originally in the county academy, but she was selected this year. Brother Li should know that the prefectural academy gathers the geniuses of the entire prefecture, not to mention the old capital of the Great Wei. So my sister has been somewhat unaccustomed to it since she enrolled this year."

Wei Wuxian nodded in understanding.

Born with extraordinary talent in a small county town, only to discover its true nature upon arriving in a big city...

Wei Wuxian smiled and said, his gaze falling on Qi Qianmo, who had suddenly lowered her head and seemed dejected. "There's no need to compare yourself to others. Cultivation is about going from nothing to something. It's enough that I'm better than I was yesterday. Looking back at history, whether you're a cultivator or a mortal, your realm and wealth are but a fleeting moment. This little difference between before and after is nothing but dust."

Wei Wuxian regretted it a little as soon as he finished speaking; raising too many fairies had given him a bit of an occupational hazard...

"What a wonderful statement! Today I am better than I was yesterday." Qi Yuncheng's eyes lit up immediately.

Wei Wuxian waved his hand.

Qi Qianmo stared in astonishment at the man in front of her who could even lose his clothes.

After looking at it for a while, Qi Qianmo lowered her head again, looking like she was thinking seriously.

Seeing this, Qi Yuncheng sighed and said, "All along the way I seemed to be advising my younger sister, but in fact I was just like her."

"That's not true. I've never practiced Taoism; it was just empty talk. I'm sorry to have made you laugh, Brother Qi."

During their conversation, the three of them soon entered Phoenix City.

Qi Yuncheng clasped his hands in a salute: "I feel like we've known each other for ages today, Brother Li. I'll be staying in Phoenix City for a while. Once you've finished your business, Brother Li, please come find me at the Qingyun Inn near the Taoist Academy. I'll treat you to a drink."

"Definitely, but the wine will be on me. I haven't repaid Brother Qi for lending me his clothes yet."

After Wei Wuyang returned the greeting, they said their goodbyes.

Watching Qi Yuncheng leave, Wei Wuxian turned around and his gaze fell on the pop-up box in front of him.
