The fairy always tries to corrupt my Dao heart.

Chapter 23 Shen Qingyu caught up with him.

"My fellow villager, you're really amazing!"

On the streets of Luoxia City, Shen Qingyu looked at the two black-boned chickens, three ducks, one goose, and four rabbits in her and Li Qingan's hands, her voice filled with a hint of admiration.

My fellow villager's younger brother went to apologize, but the other party not only didn't care, but also treated him to good food and drinks, and even gave him gifts from several families!

The other party insisted on giving it to me!
And before leaving, the fellow villager's younger brother secretly gave him spirit stones... This person is really amazing.

Especially during those two and a half hours, she only felt their enthusiasm for their fellow villager brother.

She felt this wasn't about ingratiating herself; if it were, people would be flocking to visit her one after another.

Given his fellow villager's personality, he would definitely treat him to a meal.

Shen Qingyu suddenly understood why her fellow villager's younger brother had received so much "feeding" that morning.

What ordinary cultivator would help an old man find his cat?
"Still reminiscing?" Li Qingan glanced at Shen Qingyu. "How many times have you said that?"

“But they’re really impressive!” Shen Qingyu said earnestly, “You can tell just by looking at their eyes!”

A smile flashed in Li Qing'an's eyes. He could guess that Shen Qingyu was apologizing to him in order to say good things about Su Lingyin, but he did not resist or find it annoying.

Because all of this was part of his preparation: to bring them closer together.

The way to build closer relationships is to showcase your strengths or advantages.

So he spent the whole afternoon leisurely showcasing his strengths.

Shen Qingyu has now completely gotten used to calling himself "fellow villager brother".

“I help you, you help me, it’s normal,” Li Qingan said calmly. “The world isn’t just about fighting and killing.”

Shen Qingyu followed in his footsteps: "But you're practicing the way of the sword, not the Confucian scholar's way of cultivating oneself, managing one's family, governing the state, and bringing peace to the world..."

Li Qingan gave her a strange look: "Is it only scholars who can help people?"

"No, no, that's not what I meant." Shen Qingyu quickly explained, "What I meant was, shouldn't you focus on your cultivation first? That's the most important thing in the cultivation world."

Li Qingan's answer was concise and to the point: "If you want to establish yourself, help others to establish themselves; if you want to achieve success, help others to achieve success."

Shen Qingyu knew the meaning of those words, and thus understood what her fellow villager brother wanted to express.

He has the leisure to help others.

My mother has said this many times.

Shen Qingyu pursed her cherry lips, then asked curiously, "Aren't you afraid that the person you're helping might be a bad person?"

"Yes, I am scared, but so far, most of the people I've met have been good." Li Qingan smiled. "As for bad people... I remember once I helped someone gather herbs, and when we came back, the old man took the things and made all sorts of excuses, refusing to give me the five spirit stones. Guess what I did?"

"How?"

"Beat them up in the street!"

Hearing Li Qingan's voice, Shen Qingyu was momentarily dazed, suddenly realizing that her impression of him had been somewhat inaccurate.

My fellow villager's brother is a good person, but definitely not a pushover!

Because a kind-hearted person couldn't possibly have survived unscathed in the cruel environment of the cultivation world!
They were all swindled and their remains were never found!

Looking at Li Qing'an's profile, Shen Qingyu realized that her previous impression of her fellow villager was too superficial.

Zhui Yinyin is a perfunctory liar, a fool who doesn't focus on cultivation and instead pays attention to trivial matters, and a mediocre person who has nothing remarkable about him except for his good looks.

This was Shen Qingyu's previous impression of Li Qingan.

But at this moment, Shen Qingyu admitted her bias.

Was Shang Yinyin not at fault for his perfunctory attitude towards Zhui Yinyin?
Wrong!

How can you make a hasty conclusion that he is not focused on cultivation if you don't pay attention to him all the time?
In a place like Chang Geng Realm where spiritual energy is scarce, it's already quite remarkable that someone could cultivate to the Transcendent Realm on their own at the age of twenty!

More importantly, he is not a mediocre person who is good for nothing except his looks!

Five months later, when he returned, he was able to overpower Yin Yin in terms of strength!
I just didn't notice his hard work behind the scenes!

I'm the one who's superficial.

Shen Qingyu felt guilty about her previous thoughts.

Li Qingan is much more mature than I imagined.

"I'm sorry..."

Shen Qingyu looked up at Li Qingan and said earnestly.

Li Qingan looked at Shen Qingyu with a half-smile: "Your apology... it's incoherent and quite baffling." Shen Qingyu's pretty face flushed red, and she stammered, "I... I just thought you were really amazing..."

"How many times have you said that?" Li Qingan looked away, trying to figure out Shen Qingyu's emotional changes.

"Well, well..." Shen Qingyu bit her lower lip lightly, "Anyway, you're really amazing. I didn't have a good impression of you before..."

Upon hearing this, Li Qingan immediately understood.

After getting to know her fellow townsman better, Shen Qingyu realized that her previous impressions were wrong.

"Hmph, I thought it was something else?" Having already figured it out, Li Qing'an chuckled lightly, "That's all?"

Shen Qingyu was taken aback: "You don't think it matters?"

Li Qingan said earnestly, "Sister Shen, others are others, the important thing is to please yourself."

He paused, then asked with a smile, "Since you love to eat so much, do you really care what others think about your appetite?"

"Of course not."

"Isn't this enough?"

"Hehe~ I'm really good too!"

Shen Qingyu nudged Li Qingan's arm with her elbow, revealing a smug smile. A smile also flashed in Li Qingan's eyes; everyone likes to hear nice things.

She praised herself, and he praised her back, which brought them closer even faster.

"Don't you feel tired?" Shen Qingyu changed the subject: "Don't you find helping others annoying?"

"Why not do something that's easy to do?"

Shen Qingyu's peach blossom eyes sparkled: "You really are amazing."

"Don't you think I'm more capable than you imagined?" Li Qingan teased, feigning maturity. "More mature?"

"Yes." Shen Qingyu did not deny it: "You are clearly two years younger than me..."

"Huh?" Li Qingan was taken aback: "Aren't you just twenty years old, like Lingyin?"

"Oh, so what if I said I'm a little smaller?" Shen Qingyu glared at him. "I am twenty, so what?"

"Haha, it's nothing, you're right." Li Qingan smiled: "I often say I'm eighteen too."

“See, isn’t this normal…” Shen Qingyu said, then gave him another elbow strike: “Hey, don’t interrupt me, I haven’t finished speaking yet!”

"You tell me, I'll listen."

"What I meant just now was..." Shen Qingyu's cherry lips parted, but she suddenly didn't know how to describe it.

Li Qingan glanced at her: "Do you think it's amazing that I spend my extra time on other people?"

Shen Qingyu's eyes lit up, and she nodded like a chick pecking at rice: "More or less..."

"Then you overestimate me." Li Qingan looked up slightly at the red glow on the horizon and said as he walked, "There are actually many people like me, and many who are better than me. I'm still far behind."

Those true saints are the real geniuses.

Li Qingan sighed inwardly, thinking that the person who put the public service advertisement on the children's channel back then was truly a genius.

Shen Qingyu blinked, staring at Li Qingan's back in the sunlight, her delicate brows furrowing slightly.

What I wanted to say seems to be this, but that's not exactly what I meant...

What I mean is that everyone understands this principle, and I've heard it countless times since I was a child, but hearing it from Li Qing'an's mouth makes it resonate with me...

Shen Qingyu was momentarily dazed, then suddenly realized that this kind person had always acted this way, not just said it.

That's why it sounds so ordinary coming from him.

Just like, just like my own benevolent and compassionate mother.

So I've always listened carefully to what my mother says...

After figuring this out, the confusion in Shen Qingyu's eyes as she looked at Li Qingan in front of her disappeared.

The setting sun on the horizon seemed to have already fallen to the ground, making Li Qing'an appear as if he were standing in an abyss.

For some reason, Shen Qingyu felt as if a deer was gently thumping in her heart.

"Hey, slow down, wait for me..."

Shen Qingyu chased after her.
