Hu Yihui followed the other's train of thought, lost in reflection: "Right. Back in the day, how many mighty figures swaggered and dominated the realm? But look at today — it's left to people like my second sister to throw their weight around. Truly, when the age lacks heroes, it only allows scoundrels to make a name for themselves."
Xu Ruoping twirled a cup of steaming tea in her hands and said slowly, "So, we shouldn't let ourselves get bogged down by all these stray thoughts. Let's focus on doing our best, cultivate diligently, and steadily raise our cultivation levels. We'll encourage each other, face any difficulties together, and tackle them as a team. That's the most urgent priority right now."
Hu Yihui's face remained calm and unruffled, but his eyes flashed with shifting light. A faint, mischievous smile played at the corner of his mouth: "After going in circles, you actually managed to talk me into it in the end. Fine, I won't hold a grudge over this matter, but don't expect a next time. I'm petty."
