Teaching His Ex-Wife to Cultivate the Dao of Heartlessness!

Lu Qing'an spoke these words casually, his tone as natural as if he were simply saying that the weather was nice today.

After he finished speaking, he picked up his teacup and took another sip, his face completely open and honest, leaving no trace of his true intentions.

Upon hearing this, Xu Qingying fell into a daze once again.

She stood there blankly, looking at the man who said they weren't "very familiar," feeling as if someone had slowly cut her chest with a dull knife. It didn't hurt, but something was slowly flowing out of that opening, and she couldn't stop it.

It felt as if something was missing from her heart again, leaving an emptiness and an indescribable discomfort.

"What does he mean by this?" Xu Qingying asked herself.

Not very familiar? Have you met a few times? He spoke so calmly, so indifferently, so nonchalantly, as if their past was really just a few encounters, as if that past etched in her heart was nothing to him.

But I've already given you several children...

Luo Qiushan believed it.

She had only been guessing, and seeing how frankly Lu Qing'an spoke, she didn't delve any further.

She smiled, her tone light and cheerful. "I see, that means you two are quite destined for each other. From now on, you should get along well in the sect."

She meant it sincerely.

In her opinion, Lu Qing'an and Xu Qingying had similar cultivation levels and ages, and both had a connection with the Nether Emperor Holy Sect, so it wouldn't be a bad thing for them to interact more.

Lu Qing'an smiled and nodded, his posture so upright that no one could find fault with him.

He turned his head to look at Xu Qingying, his gaze gentle, his voice carrying just the right amount of elder's concern. "Sure, if you encounter any problems, niece Xu, you can come to me. For the sake of the sect leader, I will certainly help if I can."

He deliberately pronounced the words "Xu's niece" clearly, his tone neither too light nor too heavy, yet conveying a perfectly balanced sense of detachment.

It's like a polite promise made by an elder to a younger person—respectable, thorough, and watertight.

Upon hearing this, Luo Qiushan's smile widened even further.

She turned to Xu Qingying, her tone filled with obvious encouragement and expectation. "Qingying! Did you hear that! Your Uncle Lu's insights into cultivation are no less than mine. If you encounter any problems in your cultivation in the future, you can ask your Uncle Lu!"

She was sincere.

Lu Qing'an was able to cultivate more than three thousand rules, and his insights and experience in cultivation had reached a level that even she could not reach.

It's Xu Qingying's good fortune that such a highly skilled person would be willing to guide her disciple!

Xu Qingying stood there, listening to her master addressing her as "Uncle Lu" Lu Qing'an calling her "Niece Xu" repeatedly. She felt dizzy and the world seemed to have turned upside down.

Her lips twitched uncontrollably, and her throat felt like it was stuffed with cotton, making it hard for her to breathe.

"Master! What did I ask?!" she cried out in her heart, tears welling up in her eyes. Grief, absurdity, helplessness, and heartache swirled within her. "I feel my Dao heart is crumbling again!!!"

The State of Mind barrier she had painstakingly built up over so many years of cultivation had collapsed twice within the short span of an incense stick's time since this man appeared.

The first time was the moment she saw him, and the second time was the moment she heard him call her "Niece Xu".

If this happens a few more times, let alone the Dao of Heartlessness, she might even have problems with normal cultivation!

Unfortunately, her master was completely unaware of this and was even smilingly encouraging her to get closer to her "Uncle Lu".

Xu Qingying took a deep breath and forced herself to calm down.

She looked up at Lu Qing'an and met his deep, calm eyes.

That gaze held a familiar tenderness, yet it also carried a deeper meaning she couldn't decipher.

She pursed her lips, forced a smile that looked more like a grimace, and mustered all her strength to utter a complete, respectable sentence.

"Thank you... thank you, Uncle Lu."

Each of those four words felt like it had been cut from the very tip of her heart.

Lu Qing'an nodded slightly, his smile unchanged.

Meanwhile, Li Wensong, who was in the corner, had already taken out a photographic stone and was quietly recording everything. His mouth was stretched from ear to ear.

This play was more spectacular than any other play he had ever seen in his life!

Luo Qiushan picked up the teacup, and just as she brought it to her lips, she suddenly stopped.

As if she had remembered something important, her gaze returned to Xu Qingying, a glint of light flashing in her eyes.

"Qingying, your Uncle Lu has already perfected all the rules! The same goes for the Dao of Heartlessness!" Her tone carried an excitement of having found a solution. "If you insist on taking this path, he will surely have even greater insights!"

She spoke with certainty and fervor.

The Dao of Heartlessness is recognized as one of the most difficult Great Dao to traverse in the Hongmeng Holy Realm. Others cannot even touch the threshold, yet Lu Qing'an has cultivated the Path of Rule of Heartlessness to its perfect state.

This experience and insight were like a tailor-made guiding light for Xu Qingying, who was about to embark on the path of Dao of Heartlessness.

At this point, Luo Qiushan couldn't help but turn her gaze to Lu Qing'an again.

When her gaze fell upon that calm and composed face, the admiration in her eyes deepened, and a subtle, almost imperceptible, adoration appeared in the depths of her eyes.

"Everyone knows how difficult the Dao of Heartlessness is! Yet he has cultivated Dao of Heartlessness to this level, even if he's only at the level of rules. It's clear he's experienced a deeply unforgettable relationship!" Luo Qiushan thought to herself, feeling increasingly impressed by the man before her. "He's definitely a handsome man who values loyalty and righteousness!"

Her train of thought had taken a strange turn.

In her view, the reason why the Dao of Heartlessness is difficult to cultivate is because it requires severing the roots of affection, and the prerequisite for severing the roots of affection is that one has truly loved and truly suffered.

Those who can cultivate the path of Dao of Heartlessness must have experienced unforgettable emotions; only those who have had such experiences can truly let go.

Lu Qing'an was able to cultivate the Rule of Heartlessness to perfection, so deep within his heart must lie a profound affection that no one else could touch.

A man of deep affection and loyalty, yet capable of cultivating the rules to perfection for the sake of the Great Dao —how could such will and character not move one?

The more Luo Qiushan thought about it, the more convinced she was of her judgment, and her goodwill towards her grew even stronger without her realizing it.

However, Xu Qingying's feelings at this moment were completely opposite to those of her master.

She felt like she was about to cry.

"Master! Please stop!" Xu Qingying cried out inwardly, but forced a composed and aloof expression on her face, her expression stiffening. "You, you want me to cultivate the Dao of Heartlessness with my ex-husband! Aren't you pushing me into a pit of fire?!"
