Genshin Impact: My confession was rejected, so I traveled to seven countries

Qingyunding

True Lord Xue Yue frowned slightly as he looked at the stone that was as tall as a person.

"Huh? Didn't I tell you to move back to that mountain? Why did you bring this with you?"

The sweat on Su Mo's forehead shone in the afternoon sun, dripping as he moved. He took a breath and replied, "Master, with my current physical condition, it's impossible for me to move it back. So, since I can't move the big one, I'll move the small one first. Sooner or later, I will move that mountain."

True Lord Xie Yue nodded: "Oh, that's an idea, let's practice slowly." But then, True Lord Xie Yue seemed to think of something: "That's not right, you can just move to the foot of the mountain, why did you move up here? Don't you know that there's limited space on the top of the mountain?"

A trace of embarrassment flashed across Su Mo's face. He was indeed so busy chatting with Shen He just now that he forgot about this.

He smiled and looked at Master Lishui expectantly and said, "Master, are you still in need of a cave? How about I build you a small house?"

True Lord Xue Yue looked at Su Mo and twitched his lips slightly: "Haha, you should build it yourself. It just so happens that the place here is a little small. Since you have this intention, then you can build a nest for yourself."

"Oh, okay then," Su Mo collapsed immediately, with a barely perceptible hint of frustration in his voice.

Seeing this, True Lord Xueyue rolled his eyes and said, "Look at how little you've accomplished. My place may be small, but it's not so small that even you can't stay. Don't just stand there. Get rid of that stone first, then come over for dinner. After dinner, I still have to teach you the art of talismans."

Su Mo's previous decadence was swept away when he heard this, and he said happily: "Thank you, Master. I will go right away!" Then he picked up the heavy stone without hesitation and ran down the mountain with light steps.

Shen He smiled slightly when he saw this.

Looking at Su Mo's cheerful figure, True Lord Xue Yue couldn't help but shake his head: "You still have a childlike innocence."

"Maybe it's because I was suppressed for too long with Master Lishui. Now I feel free when I come to you, Master, so my mood naturally improves." Shen He explained at the right time.

Upon hearing this, True Lord Xie Yue smiled and nodded at Shen He: "When did you learn Su Mo's tricks?"

"Maybe it's because you, Master, are kind and make people feel at ease, so naturally they can speak freely about whatever's on their mind. And Su Mo may have also relaxed his tense heart because of this."

Upon hearing this, Master Lishui couldn't help but shake his head and chuckle, "Who knows? Perhaps it's just his nature. However, it's also possible that this is precisely why he was able to withstand Lishui's inhumane torture."

"Although there are fewer tedious things in the mountains than in the secular world, it also makes him feel less stressed." After saying that, he turned and looked at Shen He.

"Let's go in and eat. I think it will be hard for that kid to come back."

Inside the cave of Qingyun Peak

The afternoon sun streamed through the stone windows onto the simple dining table, where a few dishes of light mountain vegetables and a pot of fragrant mountain tea were placed.

True Lord Xueyue waved his hand to signal Shen He to sit down, and the two began this simple lunch.

During the meal, Master Xie Yue suddenly spoke up: "Shen He, what do you think of Su Mo?"

Shen He, who was eating, was stunned. She didn't know what Master Xueyue meant.

What do you think of Su Mo?

which aspect?

How one conducts oneself? Or one's conduct?

Shen He put down the bamboo chopsticks in his hand, thought for a moment, and then answered seriously: "Master, although I have little contact with him, I can see that although Su Mo sometimes seems naive, he is generally kind-hearted and understanding. Especially when facing some things, he has his own unique views. He seems a little out of touch now, but I think under Master's careful guidance, he will definitely be able to carry forward the talisman art in the future."

After hearing this, True Lord Xie Yue couldn't help but shake his head and smiled, looking at Shen He with interest: "According to you, he is a person without any flaws?"

Shen He remained silent. She knew that no one in this world was perfect.

Although Su Mo has many advantages, he also has his shortcomings and deficiencies. For example, he can sometimes make people angry...

At this point, True Lord Xie Yue continued, "Your assessment is rather too lenient. In my opinion, Su Mo does have potential and a certain ability to withstand pressure; otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to persevere through Li Shui's brutal torture. However, he's a bit impetuous, and his mind is unstable, with drastic mood swings. While he has excellent self-regulation, this is a serious taboo in cultivation."

Shen He was stunned. She had not expected that Master Xueyue would point out Su Mo's shortcomings so bluntly.

She was silent for a moment, took a deep breath, and slowly spoke: "Master, Su Mo is indeed not steady enough at times, but he still has a lot of room to grow. With your guidance, I believe he can gradually overcome these shortcomings."

True Lord Xie Yue smiled slightly: "Of course I know this, otherwise I wouldn't tell you all this." Then, a hint of teasing appeared on True Lord Xie Yue's face: "Hey, Shen He, when did you become so concerned about Su Mo?"

"When?" Shen He asked himself in his heart, his thoughts drifting back to the past times he spent with Su Mo, trying to find the answer to the question.

Was it the first time you brought your own lunch?

Or maybe it was the pain that Su Mo felt when he was tortured that time?

Or maybe it’s the knot in my heart from that time?

Or is it the companionship and comfort over the past few months?

Shen He didn’t know, he really didn’t know.
