The Seventh Princess was stunned and took a moment to react.
The fourth house at the end of Vermillion Bird Street?
Wasnât that the address of the lady and her son from earlier?
Come to think about it, that woman was quite pretty⊠if she left her address before leaving, she must have positive feelings towards Xu Que. She must be feeling grateful too.
But didnât this fellow just say that he wouldnât go?
Didnât he say that he wasnât that kind of person?
Why is he asking me this now, then?
I asked him to drink tea with meâbut do I not compare to a common woman? Are all men really such hypocritical beasts?
The more the Seventh Princess thought about it, the angrier she got and the colder her expression became.
The Seventh Princess had stayed in the Palace for a long time and she hated people who were hypocritical and lustful. None of the princes that she had ever interacted with had ever caught her attention.
However, she had not expected Xu Que to be this kind of person either. She felt incredibly disappointed.
Xu Que said in a serious tone, âactually, I just realised that I had forgotten to give the cumin and the chili powder to the woman. Even though she has tens of thousands of silvers to survive on, life needs to be interesting. Whenever they want to eat a snack, they can barbeque some chicken wings to eat, you know?â
The Seventh Princess was stunned again and didnât react in time. She couldnât follow Xu Queâs ever-changing though process.
It seemed that he wasnât about to take advantage of the lady. Instead, he wanted to help her by giving her some ingredients for the chicken wings!
I have misunderstood him!
As she thought this, she couldnât help but blame herself.
âWhy did you⊠ah, you look terrible, are you sick?ââŠâ Xu Que asked in concern. âDo you need me to check your body? I am not exaggerating but my skills are not limited to making chicken wings and stinky tofu. I am also⊠a gynaecologist! Do you understand? They say a gynaecologistâs precious hands are at the bottomâŠâ
The Seventh Princess shook her head and said a little apologetically, âMaster Xu, I⊠I am not sick. Earlier on⊠I misunderstood you. I am truly sorry! Master you are very upright and honourable, I have cast you in a poor light!â
âItâs alright. As I said before, I have travelled around for several years to uphold justice, and I have long gotten used to misunderstandings! I am a genius! I will make use of othersâ misunderstandings to go further and reach the pinnacle of this world, enjoying the solitude at the top! Solitude!â
Xu Que waved his hand, his expression stoic as he suddenly looked up 45 degrees into the night sky. His gaze was filled with determination as he said sonorously, âhowever, all these desires cannot slow my pace. I will save this world, and I will get stronger. Because⊠even if I am hit by a thousand adversities, I will not be knocked down by them!â
Even if I am hit by a thousand adversities, I will not be knocked down by them!
With these two sentences of poetry, the Seventh Princess opened her mouth in shock. She was blown away.
These two sentences, they were astounding!
How much determination and vision must one have to create such poetry!
Who would have thought that under this quirky façade lay someone so mighty!
He wanted to save the world. He was not afraid of malicious rumours or misunderstandingsâhe was respectable!
âMaster Xu⊠you are a genius indeed. This world is lucky to have someone like you!â Seventh Princess said sincerely, looking at Xu Que.
A vague image sprung into her mind of Xu Que standing upright and unwavering under the lashing of the wild winds, helping the commoners despite everything!
In that moment, feelings exploded within her heart. Her positivity towards him increased tremendously.
After all, in this Cultivation World where everyone was a cultivator and one would sacrifice their friend than oneself, to have someone who would give for the commoners, he was one of a kind.
Ding! âCongratulations to host âXu Queâ for successfully acting tough. The reward is 200 Acting Tough Points!â
Ding! âCongratulations to host âXu Queâ for acting tough shamelessly. The reward is 500 Acting Tough Points!â
Hearing the continued ringing of system notifications, Xu Que maintained the humble look on his face as he waved his hands plainly. He turned around, putting both hands behind his back.
The next moment, he said, âthe road ahead will be long, but I will search!â
The Seventh Princess was shaken to her core as she said, âthat is beautiful poetry. Master is indeed smart!â
Ding! âCongratulations to host âXu Queâ for successfully acting tough. The reward is 200 Acting Tough Points!â
Xu Que moved his body slightly to face the other side of the night sky. âThere will be hard times, but one must power through them!â
âMaster Xu is so talented and ambitious, I am full of respect!â
âA sword only becomes sharp if one sharpens it at the whetstone, the smell of spring comes after a cold winter!â
âEven old age cannot stop one from pursuing oneâs passion!â
âMaster⊠that is lovely!â
âIf one does not grasp opportunities when they are young, they will regret it when they are old!â
âMaster is indeed⊠ah?â
Her face was filled with confusion.
She was a little scared now. All these poetic verses that Xu Que had recited were things that she had never heard before.
To her, they were astounding.
It had reached a point where she didnât know what to say to compliment him. She felt a little numb from doing so.
However, his final, unusual line had left her confused.
If one doesnât grasp opportunities when one is young, one will regret it when one is old? What does this mean? Does it have anything to do with Xu Queâs determination to save the world?
Xu Que was like a mystery to her. She was captivated by him, with a curiosity that was difficult to express in words.
She really wanted to know what this youth had gone through to be able to mature at such a respectable and astounding pace.
Just as she was recovering from her shock, a few ear-piercing noises split the night sky.
Everyone turned their heads to look. The Eighth Elder from Sky Incense Valley had returned.
This time, he wasnât alone. He had brought with him seven or eight young male and female disciples. They landed on the ground, looking worn out.

Everyone stared at them in shock. The Eighth Elder looked incredibly anxious as he led his disciples through the crowd and shouted, âyoung warrior, I have returned to ask you to sell some more of this delicacy. Please give each disciple of mine one bowlâŠâ
With that, the Eighth Elder saw that the person in front of the oil pot was no longer Xu Que. It was a dog with a black and white body who was fiddling with the stinky tofu inside!
Beside him were a few princes. They each had their own bowls of stinky tofu and were in the process of placing it into their mouths.
What shocked them most of all was the fact that the unidentified objects that they were picking up from their bowls were black and hard. They were incredibly smelly and they were being lifted right into their mouthsâŠ
