"Ah, it's nothing, Qin Xue, why is your face turning red?"

"No, no, Saint Child, just now you were looking at this servant, and this servant is not used to it."

Qin Xue's face flushed, revealing the charm of a mature woman. Although she appeared young and showed no signs of aging, there was always a noticeable sense of maturity and stability about her.

Even at such a close distance, Qin Xue tried her best to maintain a composed demeanor.

The strong aura of the Saint Child, combined with his luxurious attire and posture, brought an indescribable sense of pressure to Qin Xue.

"The aura of the Saint Child is too strong. It's unimaginable for a Mortal Transformation realm female cultivator like me to bear such pressure. Ah~"

"But, the Saint Child is truly outstanding!"

"Hmm?"

Su Qingyang heard Qin Xue's inner thoughts and immediately reacted, retracting the somewhat domineering aura from his body and becoming gentle.

There was no way around it. Su Qingyang was accustomed to maintaining the image of the Saint Child, so unconsciously, there was a noble sense of self-importance in his brows and eyes.

This made it difficult for ordinary people to approach him. Although most cultivators couldn't perceive it, this was also why whenever Su Qingyang went somewhere, countless spectators would exclaim, "Look, isn't that the Saint Child?"

Qin Xue felt uncomfortable when she saw Su Qingyang's brows soften suddenly and his gaze become gentle like water.

"Saint Child..."

"Hmm, Qin Xue, I think being the Saint Child all the time is actually quite tiring. If possible, I think it would be nice to be like an ordinary cultivator, not being obsessed with responsibilities and heavy burdens, and just focus on cultivation."

Su Qingyang let out a sigh, seeming a bit desolate, which touched Qin Xue.

His expression had changed, completely different from usual. There was no trace of nobility, but instead, a down-to-earth Su Qingyang who shared his inner thoughts with her. It felt strange to her.

However, being a mature and charming woman, she was also sensible.

"The Saint Child must be tired all the time! The elders always say that the Saint Child is spoiled and doesn't love cultivation at all. I imagine it must be because of inner exhaustion."

"Qin Xue, how did you know!"

Su Qingyang showed a somewhat excited expression, grabbing Qin Xue's hands. Originally, the two of them were already speaking very closely, and the training room was quiet, with even the air they breathed seeming visible.

With this sudden action, Su Qingyang grabbed Qin Xue's hands, causing her to feel flustered.

Even she couldn't help but feel a bit worried.

'Will Saint Child do something to me?'

'In this training room, a man and a woman alone together, and Saint Child is only 18 years old, full of youthful vigor, this...'

Qin Xue struggled with her gaze for a while, but in the end, she found that she couldn't let go of Saint Child's hand, so she could only let him be and sighed.

Su Qingyang's eyes showed a hopeful feeling.

He knew what Qin Xue was thinking, but he didn't act on it.

Otherwise, it would always leave a psychological knot.

"Saint Child, although I don't understand how Saint Child grew up since childhood, I have heard that two years ago, Saint Child pursued the Holy Maiden but was unsuccessful. Since then, he has been downcast until now. His heart must be tired. Although Qin Xue doesn't understand cultivation matters..."

"But after all, she is a bit older than Saint Child, and she feels somewhat touched by Saint Child's inner world and emotional experiences. Saint Child is genuine, but emotions are ultimately about fate."

"Mm."

Su Qingyang held Qin Xue's delicate jade hands, as if they were boneless, causing him to inadvertently rub them, making her feel a bit uncomfortable.

But Su Qingyang didn't stop.

"Qin Xue is right! Listen, Saint Child! Actually, I haven't liked the Holy Maiden for a long time..."

"Uh..."

Qin Xue was stunned. Ever since she entered the holy land half a year ago, the most common thing she heard from colleagues and rumors was about Saint Child pursuing the Holy Maiden.

But now, hearing Su Qingyang say that he no longer liked the Holy Maiden, Wu Qingran, she couldn't help but feel a bit incredulous.

But she is a sensible person, and seeing the disappointment in Saint Child's expression, she couldn't help but console him.

"In fact, Saint Child, there are beautiful women everywhere in the world. Why confine yourself to just one flower? A remarkable man like you, no matter where you go, will have countless girls who like you!"

"What about married women?"

Su Qingyang made a joke without thinking.

"Haha?!!"

Qin Xue was greatly shocked, her expression showing panic. The esteemed Saint Child actually didn't like young girls, but preferred married women.

Where can one find a married woman? Isn't there one right in front of him?

Su Qingyang's gaze was somewhat hopeful as she looked at Qin Xue, not saying a word, causing the latter's eyes to become flustered.

"Saint Child, this is not right. Saint Child should focus on cultivation, listen to the elders, strive to become stronger, and lead the Holy Land to greater glory..."

"But I don't like cultivation! What I like is..."

Su Qingyang didn't say anything, just glanced at Qin Xue, leaving her to guess.

Qin Xue's heart was pounding. She couldn't handle Su Qingyang's advances, feeling like a startled rabbit. She struggled to release her hand and stepped back.

"Saint Child, although I, Qin Xue, have been orphaned since childhood, ever since I embarked on the path of immortality, I have also encountered a boy who is wandering outside. My status is lowly, and getting involved with Saint Child will only hinder your cultivation and reputation! Even though I'm not afraid of the rumors spreading, it will bring no benefit to you, Saint Child!"

"Moreover, there's no need for Saint Child to do this. With Saint Child's outstanding talent and appearance, as long as Saint Child wishes, there are countless young girls in the Holy Land who are infatuated with you!"

Qin Xue was sensible and spoke in a pleasing manner. Even when rejecting, she made it clear. She also praised Su Qingyang, saying that she was not bad. In reality, she couldn't deny that she had thoughts when looking at such an outstanding Saint Child, but she understood.

Who she was, compared to Su Qingyang, it would be a joke for the esteemed Saint Child to care about an ordinary female cultivator. Age, talent, and all aspects would become a laughingstock.

"I'm thinking for the sake of Saint Child, Qin Xue."

"You've misunderstood, Qin Xue."

Su Qingyang did not pursue, but instead put on a look of being hurt by love.

It can only be said that Su Qingyang is very skilled.

He has a high status and good qualifications in all aspects, while Qin Xue's biggest characteristic and advantage is being sensible and mature, with the charm and temperament of a young woman.

And facing this kind of girl, who is older.

What is the best approach?

It is to let her see his vulnerable side, to let her care for him, and then Su Qingyang can show her his considerate and gentle side, and then time will take its course, going with the flow...

"Ah! Saint Child?"

Qin Xue was greatly surprised, feeling that she had done something wrong, but Su Qingyang did not blame her.

Instead, he started talking about himself.

"Actually, I also grew up alone since I was young!"

"Mm!"

Qin Xue nodded, her eyes brightened for a moment, because people who can empathize will resonate with each other.

"Although I am a Saint Child since I was young, I have no parental love, just like you, Qin Xue!"

"By the way... can I call you Sister Xue?"

"Ah! Saint Child, this is absolutely not allowed!"

"It's okay, it's decided, this is the command of this Saint Child. When there's no one around, I will call you Sister Xue!"

"Well... alright!"
