The group's favorite master, the story of a cute baby who travels through the book and defies t

Shu Xiaoman felt guilty and panicked at first, but after seeing that Xia Zixuan was genuinely angry for her, she gradually calmed down.

When she looked at Gongsun Qiubai again, she was no longer at a loss as when they first met, and observed him calmly and rationally.

"Gongsun Qiubai, have you never liked me?"

Gongsun Qiubai narrowed his eyes: "So what if it is? So what if it isn't?"

Shu Xiaoman nodded. The trouble that had been buried deep in her heart suddenly became clear, and she whispered the truth.

"You're right. It doesn't matter whether I loved you or not. But I want to tell you that I have never loved you. I agreed to marry you only to fulfill Master's wish. Now I know that doing this is irresponsible to you and me. I'm sorry!"

There was silence at the scene. Gongsun Qiubai's eyes widened, as if he was completely stunned by these words.

Above her head, Luo Yiyi covered her eyes, unable to bear to watch, but was afraid of missing out on the exciting plot, so she secretly pried open her fingers to look out.

"Ah! Even though he's a bad guy, he's still so miserable!"

Song Sheng was puzzled: "What's so tragic about it?"

"He was severely slapped in the face by his love rival! He has lost all his dignity!"

"A slap in the face? Is there? Isn't Shu Xiaoman telling the truth?"

Luo Yiyi put down her hand, looked at Song Sheng with great sympathy, raised her hand and patted his shoulder heavily, speaking earnestly.

"Brother, I was wrong. You are even worse off than him. At least he once had it, but you never had it."

The corners of Song Sheng's mouth twitched, and he tried hard to control himself from throwing her down.

Unexpectedly, Luo Yiyi did not appreciate his kindness and continued to stab him.

"But being single is very happy! You are free and carefree. It's not bad to be single for life. Anyway, you still have the lotus lanterns to accompany you forever!"

Seeing the expression on Song Sheng's face gradually disappear, Luo Yiyi suddenly became alert.

As expected, the arm under her butt suddenly loosened as if it went on strike. If she had not been prepared and hugged Song Sheng's neck tightly with both hands at the first moment, she would have fallen from the sky in shame.

Even though she had been prepared for punishment, she had not expected the other party to be so petty as to suddenly let go. A moment of panic made her cling to Song Sheng's chest like an octopus, and she never dared to make fun of him again.

Here, Song Sheng wasn't having a good time either. Although it wasn't a serious injury, being strangled like this still made him subconsciously feel chest tightness and breathlessness. He had no choice but to lower his head and promise not to throw the other person down casually. Only then did Luo Yiyi half-believingly let go of her hand and sit back on his arm.

"You can't lie to me! If you lie to me, after I fall down and die, I won't let you go even if I become a ghost!"

"You are a cultivator after all, right? Even if you haven't learned how to fly, you wouldn't fall to your death from such a short height, right?"

Luo Yiyi slapped him in the face without any shame and explained herself with confidence.

"But I'm only at the fifth level of Qi Refining! Jian Jian said that it's already amazing for me to be able to reach the fifth level of Qi Refining at my age!"

"If I remember correctly, your disciple had already successfully established his foundation when he was 12 years old. As his master, are you planning to establish your foundation later than your disciple?"

Luo Yiyi first counted the fingers of her right hand: "Nine, ten, eleven, twelve."

Then she looked at the fingers on her left hand: "Sixth level, seventh level, eighth level, ninth level... It seems a bit difficult to build a foundation at the age of 12, but it should be possible at the age of 13!"

Song Sheng didn't know whether he was amused or angry at her: "How come I didn't know you were so amazing? You actually increase your cultivation once a year? If you can really do that, wouldn't you be more amazing than the protagonist? You can definitely be called the number one in the world of gods and mortals."

Luo Yiyi looked even more shocked than him: "Huh? Isn't it true that one's realm can only rise once a year? But I have been practicing like this all along?"

"Before, you were able to advance your realm once a year because the first to third levels of Qi Refining were originally for strengthening the body. Ordinary people without spiritual roots could also extend their lifespan after practicing, but they stopped there. The fourth to sixth levels are for tempering the body. This is where the difference between ordinary people and people with spiritual roots lies."

This was the first time that Luo Yiyi heard such a statement. What the teachers taught in the school were all the same official statements from books, which were not so simple and down-to-earth.

"The sixth to ninth levels are the critical period for cultivators to truly step into the next level. Because the body tempering is completed, all major sects choose to teach their disciples basic skills during this period. It seems to be laying the foundation for disciples to practice high-level skills after building a foundation, but in fact it is to restrain the disciples' mentality."

Luo Yiyi didn't even care about the grudges and love-hate relationship below, and was more concerned about Song Sheng's popular science. After all, this was related to her current practice method.

"Mindset? Is it related to the inner demon?"

"You can say that. In order to train the disciples to be strong-willed, they use attractive basic skills and competitions as bait, and use their own disciples as temptation, so that they have no other thoughts except to practice and become stronger every day. With less thoughts, the mind will naturally become simpler, which is more conducive to the safe passage of the first inner demon tribulation."

"But don't people all say that the inner demons during foundation building are so weak that they can be ignored?"

"Compared to the inner demons of the later stages of the great realm improvement, the inner demons of the foundation-building stage are the least harmful, but their influence cannot be underestimated. Many people who fail in foundation-building, or succeed in foundation-building but suffer damage to their spiritual roots, will blame their talents, but this is not the case."

Luo Yiyi suddenly understood: "Big brother, what you mean is that as long as you cultivate your character well, even if your talent is not good, you will improve after building your foundation. On the contrary, if your character is not well-cultivated, even if you choose outstanding talent, your talent will inexplicably decline after building your foundation, right?"

Song Sheng praised generously: "Yiyi is really smart. Your disciple can gradually shine with five spiritual roots after building the foundation, not just because of the word "protagonist". He is indeed a rare person with a heart as solid as a rock."

Luo Yiyi thought for a moment and agreed: "Solid as a rock... In the original plot, Gui Gui's heart seemed like stone."

Song Sheng touched her head. "The original protagonist was focused and full of disappointment and contempt for the world. He was an iron wall. But things are different now. The current protagonist has been 'educated' by you very well. He has concerns in his heart and I am afraid he has already deviated from the original trajectory of his destiny."

Luo Yiyi accepted the praise as a matter of course: "Of course! I am the best master in the world!"

Then she suddenly thought of something and asked impatiently, "Big Brother, do you know Gui Gui's future fate? Can you reveal a little bit?"

Song Sheng put his index finger to her lips, with a gentle smile that was meaningful.

"You can't say that. The protagonist is the son of destiny and has a close relationship with the way of heaven. If you discuss it without authorization, you will expose yourself, okay?"

Hearing this, Luo Yiyi nodded vigorously as if she understood. At the same time, she covered her mouth tightly with both hands again and secretly glanced at the cloudless sky.
