"You really do care for her, kid."
Chun Ying sighed. "Girl, this kid isn't half bad.
You should cherish this. Stop dwelling on the past."
"Thank you for your magnanimity, Senior."
Xu Lei then said, "I was actually very nervous just now.
I had to summon all my courage to dare refuse your proposal.
As for Jingchun, I am, of course, sincere.
So I must be bold and ask you to give me a few more years.
I will definitely work hard and find a way to move Jingchun's heart.
I believe she will eventually be willing.
If she remains unwilling, I will have no complaints or regrets.
What do you think?"
「That evening.」
Chun Ying had already left.
Xu Lei had originally thought she was just an old woman with nothing to do but wait for death.
Only later did he find out that she actually worked at the Daoist Sect Headquarters.
And her position within the Daoist Sect was quite high.
She managed some of the Daoist Sect's affairs.
