You Ruo glanced at Hua Xi with a resentful look: "Senior Brother, wouldn't you call this repaying kindness with enmity?"

Tell me! Why did you hurt me?!

Hua Xi looked innocent and said in a clear voice, "Junior Sister already works so hard to cook for me. If you add the two of them, wouldn't it be even harder? I can't bear to see Junior Sister work so hard, but I also want them to know, so I held back and only sent the food to them after I finished eating."

"..."

You Ruo sighed and began to think about how to reply to Song Sheng and Huo Wenyu. After racking her brains, she finally appeased the two by promising to invite them to cook next time.

Hua Xi knew he had caused trouble for You Ruo, so he insisted on washing the dishes. You Ruo glanced at him, cast a cleaning spell, and the pots and pans were immediately spotless.

……

Hua Xi awkwardly withdrew her hand, touched her nose, then put her hand behind her back, pretending nothing had happened, and slipped away.

The old man's condition is stable now. He can't cure it, he can only recover slowly. I'd better not provoke my junior sister here.

You Ruo packed everything up, went to check on the old man, and left after confirming that he was alright.

Their Jingyou Sect now has a protective formation, so they can tell when someone comes. The old man is quite safe here by himself.

She needs to go back to drawing talismans. The two thousand talismans needed this month were sent to the Wushi Merchant Guild at the end of last month. She is now working hard on next month's talismans.

She has a habit of finishing tasks that need to be completed at the end of the month as early as possible, rather than rushing at the last minute. So she adjusted her plan and decided to think about weapon crafting after she had finished drawing the three thousand talismans each month.

The extra thousand were just in case, and the sect also needed them. The sect is currently just a bunch of old, weak, sick and disabled people, so they need some for self-defense.

When You Ruo got tired of drawing talismans and didn't want to just watch the drama unfold in the communication jade slip, she would study the original owner's weapon-refining notes and occasionally give everyone some pointers, so it wasn't boring at all.

That day, everyone was at the dormitory, having a lively and bustling time.

"Junior Sister! I did it! I did it!"

The young boy who was speaking had a flushed face. He was only at the late stage of Qi Refining. During this period, everyone else had successfully drawn talismans with ordinary talisman paper and talisman pens. Those of them who had not succeeded were very anxious.

Finally, he succeeded!

Before You Ruo could finish praising him, she saw him collapse limply.

"Junior Brother Liu Cheng!"

"Junior Brother Liu Cheng, what's wrong?"

"Senior Brother! Senior Brother, come quick!"

Over the past six months, everyone had gradually learned to draw talismans with ordinary paper and pen, and the entire sect was filled with joy. This sudden change terrified everyone.

Hua Xi was originally tallying the disciples who had recently learned to draw talismans and their success rate when she was called over by the crowd, so she put down her pen and came over.

The crowd quickly made way for him, revealing Liu Cheng, who was lying on the ground with his eyes closed and a smile on his face.

"Senior brother, come quickly and see him. I don't know what happened to him. He was fine just now, but suddenly he fainted."

You Ruo has calmed down now, and she is certain that the child is either overly tired, too excited, or both.

Sure enough, after carefully examining Liu Cheng, Hua Xi indicated that everyone should not worry, saying that he was just too excited and had fallen asleep.

Upon hearing Hua Xi's explanation, everyone couldn't help but twitch their lips.

Did I fall asleep because I was too excited?

How tired must you be to fall asleep while so excited?

You Ruo knew it would be like this. Seeing everyone's incredulous faces and recalling everyone's behavior during this period, she felt it was necessary to say something.

She clapped her hands to signal everyone to quiet down, and after making sure everyone was looking at her, You Ruo hesitated for a moment before saying what she had always wanted to say.

"Everyone has learned how to draw talismans recently, so the remaining people are under a lot of pressure. Junior Brother Liu probably hasn't had a rest for many days, and I'm sure everyone else has too, right?"

"Actually, there's something I've wanted to say for a long time. I think everyone doesn't need to work so hard. Life is long, there's no need to always be in a rush."

“I understood before, it was because of the sect. But now that the sect has stabilized, I think everyone can take a proper rest and make good use of their time.”

“You are disciples of the sect, but you have not been sold to the sect. You are still yourselves. You should do your own things and have your own time.”

"And maybe if you stop and change your mindset, you will make even greater progress."

Scientific work and rest schedule!

The one who fell asleep must have not slept for several days. Even though they are cultivators, most of them are currently at the Qi Refining or Foundation Establishment stage and cannot withstand such a hardship!

After listening to You Ruo's words, Hua Xi and his sister seemed to be deep in thought, while the other junior disciples looked at each other in confusion, and some even had the wrong idea.

Thirteen's eyes immediately welled up with tears, and she looked at Youruo with a pitiful expression: "Senior Sister, have we been taking up too many resources? We can draw talismans now, we can fight for them ourselves, please don't send us away."

His words drew echoes from everyone: "Waaah, Senior Sister! Don't send us away!"

"We'll be members of the sect our whole lives!"

You Ruo was stunned. She had considered many possibilities, but she never expected everyone to react like this.

She carefully reviewed her words and realized she hadn't meant to send them away!

But for these junior disciples who had long regarded the sect as their home and were used to working hard, suddenly telling them not to work hard and to do their own thing felt like abandoning them.

"Heaven bears witness, I, You Ruo, will never drive you away."

A white light fell on You Ruo's brow, a symbol of the vow being fulfilled. Everyone instantly quieted down and calmed down.

Someone cautiously spoke up: "Junior Sister doesn't intend to send us away?"

You Ruo was both amused and exasperated: "Of course I never thought of that. Why would I want to drive you away? You're all so kind. You haven't abandoned the Jingyou Sect, so why would I abandon you?"

She never meant that!

"I just feel that you are working too hard. Before, all you did was cultivate, and now all you do is cultivate and draw talismans. It seems that you have nothing else to do."

"But that's not actually the case. You have a lot of things to do. Go out and explore, try some delicious food and see the scenery. Not to mention anything else, can you even remember every single place in our Jingyou Sect?"

They can't. They're always in a rush, their minds filled with cultivation and drawing talismans. They're always in a hurry, and when they pass by, they only glance at the objects and never really look at them closely.

Everyone fell silent. Some even realized that they couldn't remember what was in their own cave.

It seems they really didn't notice these things. Although their cultivation level wasn't high, they were working very hard.
