"Shen Fan, the path of cultivation is long, and I don't want to be stuck at the starting point forever. Senior Brother Li can give me things you never could!"

After the Heavenly Xuan Sect's outer sect competition.

Lu Qingzhu held her outer sect disciple token, coldly looking at the man standing three steps below her.

"Entering the outer sect means I'll truly become a disciple of the Heavenly Xuan Sect. What about you? Three years and you're still stuck at the second level of Qi Refining. What can you give me to be happy?"

Looking at the familiar yet strange woman before him, Shen Fan felt a bitterness in his heart, looking at her with disbelief.

Then he hysterically shouted:

"Why am I still at the second level of Qi Refining? Why can't I give you happiness? Why can't I enter the outer sect? Don't you have any self-awareness?"

"Five years ago, we left our hometown together. I gave you the only spot as a handyman disciple, letting you join the Heavenly Xuan Sect first. Two years later, I exhausted all my efforts to become a handyman disciple, just to be with you!"

"For these three years, I've been taking care of the Spirit Field tasks assigned to you. To let you cultivate with all your heart and join the outer sect as soon as possible, to prevent you from suffering even a little, I even exchanged all my accumulated contribution points over three years for a Qi Induction Pill to give to you. And now you're saying I can't give you happiness!"

"If that's the case, why have you been accepting everything I've given you for the past three years without any guilt!"

Seeing Shen Fan gradually losing his mind, Lu Qingzhu felt a pang of unease and guilt, but for the sake of her grand future, she gritted her teeth and coldly said:

"Did I ask you to help me plant the Spirit Field? Did I ask you to help me exchange for the Qi Induction Pill? All of this was your own free will, I didn't force you!"

"My own free will? My own free will? Haha..."

Shen Fan let out a humble, mocking laugh, looking at the young woman who once said she would pursue immortality with him, and suddenly burst out laughing.

The laughter was filled with desolation and helplessness: "Well said, Separate Paths of Mortals and Immortals! I, Shen, will remember Fairy Lu's teachings today."

"Heh!"

Shen Fan's heart was completely shattered. A bitter smile hung on his lips as he looked at Lu Qingzhu with the contemptuous gaze one reserves for prostitutes.

"Got it! I get it! I understand everything! First thing after getting ashore, you kill the one you loved!"

After speaking, he directly reached out his hand to ask.

"In that case, return the Qi Induction Pill that I exchanged with my three years of accumulated contribution points. You accepted my love with peace of mind while flirting with other men and saying I'm incompetent. Lu Qingzhu, you disgust me!"

Five years ago, Shen Fan brought Lu Qingzhu to join the immortal sect. At that time, there was only one spot for a handyman disciple, and Shen Fan didn't hesitate to give it to Lu Qingzhu. Then, he spent two years finally changing from a servant to a handyman disciple, walking together with Lu Qingzhu.

For these three years, Shen Fan took care of her meticulously, doing all the dirty and tiring work in the Spirit Field alone, just to allow Lu Qingzhu to cultivate wholeheartedly and enter the outer sect as soon as possible.

Today, she finally got her wish.

But he never expected that the result would be like this.

"You must be that Shen Fan that Qingzhu mentioned!"

Just then, an outer sect youth disciple next to Lu Qingzhu walked over mockingly, deliberately holding the girl even tighter.

"Thank you for taking care of her these past three years. From now on, I'll take care of Qingzhu, so you don't have to bother!"

"Besides, how can a grown man ask for something back after giving it away?"

As he spoke, he directly took the pill from Lu Qingzhu's hand.

"Qingzhu might not want it, but you can't not give it, right?"

Then, he threw the Qi Induction Pill on the ground and stomped it into dust with his foot.

The youth looked at the shattered Qi Induction Pill under his feet, revealing a sneering smile.

"Even dogs wouldn't eat this kind of thing!"

Shen Fan's eyes instantly widened in anger. That was what he had exchanged for with three years of contributions!

He immediately bent down and picked up the broken pill.

Lu Qingzhu looked at Shen Fan's humble and pitiful appearance. Although she felt some regret in her heart, she felt even more that her choice was correct.

"Brother Fan..."

This long-lost address made Shen Fan's heart tremble.

But he heard her continue:

"I'll give you ten new ones, worth thirty years of your efforts!"

As she spoke, she took out a porcelain bottle and handed it over.

"I know I'm sorry to you, but don't worry, I'll join the outer sect and get you in as soon as possible. You definitely won't fail in next year's competition!"

"Heh!"

Shen Fan sneered, silently putting away the broken pill, then looked at Lu Qingzhu with contempt.

Then, he directly took the bottle of pills.

Seeing Shen Fan accept the ten pills, Lu Qingzhu felt a little more at ease, and the youth's gaze towards Shen Fan became even more contemptuous.

But who knew that Shen Fan would raise the pills high and smash them hard on the ground.

"As you said just now, whether you give it or not is your business, whether I want it or not is my business!"

"Don't think that joining the outer sect makes you noble. The way you're giving me charity disgusts me. As you said, everyone has their own destiny. From now on, we'll go our separate ways, goodbye forever!"

After speaking, he turned around and left.

"Shen Fan!"

Lu Qingzhu shouted angrily. Those ten Qi Induction Pills were her reward from the grand competition just now!

"Forget it, don't lower yourself to his level. After the competition, there's a disciple acceptance ceremony. You should prepare first. I'll go take care of him!"

The young man said fiercely.

"Senior Brother!"

Lu Qingzhu stopped the young man. "Forget it. After all, he led me into the sect and took care of me for three years. My debt to him is paid. Let him live or die on his own!"

"Alright! I'll listen to you!" The young man smiled gently. "Then you go prepare!"

Watching Lu Qingzhu leave, a cruel smile appeared on the young man's face. Then, he looked in the direction Shen Fan left and quickly chased after him.

On the way to the Spirit Field, Shen Fan suddenly heard a stern shout.

Immediately afterward, his entire body flew out.

The pain in his back felt like he had been struck by a boulder, and he spat out a mouthful of blood onto the ground.

"Listen up, I'm Li Qingshan from the outer sect. From now on, Lu Qingzhu is my woman. If I ever see you in her sight again, I'll break your legs!"

Li Qingshan warned fiercely.

He had just managed to deceive Lu Qingzhu, so it wasn't time to kill Shen Fan yet.

"Why don't you take a piss and look at yourself? Trash Five-Element Spiritual Roots!"

"I'm telling you, if you know what's good for you, hurry up and leave Heavenly Xuan Sect. Otherwise, I have a thousand ways to kill you."

After speaking, Li Qingshan spat fiercely and turned to leave.

Shen Fan watched the arrogant and despotic figure gradually disappear into the distance, his fists clenched so tightly that his knuckles turned white.

By the time he returned to the Spirit Field, it was already evening.

Outer sect disciples were all cultivators above the third level of the Qi Refining Stage.

Li Qingshan's kick would probably leave Shen Fan bedridden for three days.
