After Li Xuan said this,
no one knew whether he was nervous.
But Houtu's heart suddenly fluttered.
It was as if a little deer was bounding around inside her chest.
She hurriedly tried to calm herself.
With a smile on her lips, Houtu poured Li Xuan another cup of tea.
But this time, Li Xuan didn't drink it right away.
Instead, he looked at Houtu with a smile and said, "I've had your tea, and I've accepted your kindness. If there's anything you don't understand, Junior Sister, just ask. I, your Senior Brother, will tell you everything I know."
Houtu's pretty face grew even redder.
She just sat there quietly.
For a moment, she didn't know how to ask.
She wanted to ask Li Xuan for guidance on the Great Dao.
But she wasn't good at communicating with others—or even at talking.

"I... I..."
As soon as she heard that Li Xuan was leaving, Houtu panicked.
Her pretty face was bright red, and she tried to speak.
But the words wouldn't come.
The way she hesitated, flustered and embarrassed, coupled with that flawless pretty face,
made Li Xuan's heart skip a beat.
This woman really was both beautiful and pure.
"All right, I won't tease you anymore."
Li Xuan chuckled and sat down again.
Looking at Houtu seriously, he said, "I imagine what you don't understand right now is the path to sainthood that the Dao Ancestor spoke of, right? With your talent, there's no way you wouldn't understand the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth and the Primordial Great Dao."
Houtu hadn't expected
