Seeing Bai Xue's pure and touching body getting closer, Lu Lingqiu's mind raced, thinking of similar actions done by Xiaoye and Lianxing... He soon understood what the girl was thinking.

"It seems there was a misunderstanding."

After all, it was his first time to talk to her like this, so he didn't want to add new uneasiness to her who was already in a state of tension and distress.

Thinking of this, he did not push her away, but pulled back her shoulder straps that had fallen off her snow shoulders, opened his arms, and gave her a big hug——

"Relax, that's it, don't move."

"Eh? Lord, master...?"

Feeling his movements and the irreplaceable warmth brought by this embrace, Bai Xue's heartbeat suddenly accelerated, and her mind became even more confused. She couldn't help but think wildly:

"Don't you like me, Master? Why did you just hug me...?"

"Is it because I'm not as cute as Lianxing? Or maybe I'm not as pretty as Mu Qing? Maybe... my figure isn't as good as that of Sister Shui Lian and senior Razina..."

"Cang Lan can replace me in life, but I can't compare to Asuka and the others in cultivation. I... really suck."

Thinking of this, the girl felt even more depressed. She could no longer withstand such pressure, and tears burst out from the corners of her eyes.

"Woo..."

Her delicate body trembled slightly under the sobs. Lu Lingqiu could feel that her current mental state was very depressed and she urgently needed some relief, otherwise it would be difficult to carry it alone... and it might even lead to depression.

"Bai Xue, calm down first, I'm here."

"Master...I, I'm really sad...I feel like every day is so difficult, I...I'm sorry..."

Listening to her pitiful voice of grievance, Lu Lingqiu's heart softened and he hugged her tighter.

After thinking about it for a moment, it was not difficult for him to imagine that in the Jinghua Palace, the girl not only had to face many sisters with extremely talented talents, but also had to bear the psychological pressure of being ranked last in cultivation some time ago.

Do a lot of daily work…

While others were practicing, she was busy cleaning and cooking;

While others are resting, she is still busy with daily tasks...

This situation improved until Cang Lan joined Tianshan and Xia Lianxing offered to help.

However, what is even more frightening is that even if she is allowed to practice steadily at her own pace, as the master, she has never given her special care even once...

Apart from the manuscript of "Flower God True Art", she had no other source of knowledge. After Shui Lian was injured and recuperated, no one would give her advice on the problems she encountered in her cultivation as before.

Under these major premises, it is extremely difficult to condense the first "spiritual flower" in the realm of the golden elixir stage.

At this moment, the girl burst into tears.

She obviously thought that she could slowly get better as long as she relied on her own efforts and persistence... However, the pressure from all aspects made her finally realize recently——

"A lot of things are actually destined to fail from the moment they start. No matter what, it is impossible to save it with your own efforts."

It's not so much mourning as it is a thorough understanding. After all, no matter how nice the chicken soup sounds, it is ultimately self-deception. Some facts are already doomed.

"Bai Xue, you are already great. Don't put too much pressure on yourself. I know that I have been busy with trivial matters and rarely noticed your personal situation. This is indeed my fault."

Lu Lingqiu rubbed her snow-colored hair and comforted her in a warm voice.

"Master...I, I didn't mean that. I didn't blame you..."

The girl became even more panicked after hearing this. She wanted to say something, but her thoughts were completely confused. She just kept sobbing and not knowing what to do.

She knew very well that Lu Lingqiu had a lot of things to do every day, so being able to come to her like this was an unprecedented treat, and this could fully prove that the master still cared about her very much, otherwise why bother? Just pretend not to see it.

.

Thinking of this, she couldn't help but feel sad, hating that she couldn't bear the pressure, causing him to waste more time and energy on herself.

Unconsciously, more tears flowed, completely soaking the collar of the Holy Spirit's robe.

"Baixue, listen to me."

Lu Lingqiu patted her back gently:

"We all know that the path of spiritual practice is endless, right?"

"Hmm... um."

"Everyone is working hard for their own goals. When everyone joined Jinghua Palace, their initial purposes were also different.

When I asked Shuilian to bring you in, I didn't mean that one day in the future, you would become a powerful spirit messenger like your sister Hualing, who could cover the sky with one hand.

Rather, I simply feel that your personality, conduct, and behavior are in line with my requirements, and you fully meet the requirements for becoming a 'spiritual envoy'.

You have your own strengths and can handle problems that other sisters may not be able to handle well; you are thoughtful and know how to take care of others, making people feel comfortable when getting along with you.

In addition, you can also see that everyone likes you very much, and every sister has a very good impression of you.

This is ‘personality charm’.”

He paused, and as she watched her eyes gradually become enchanted, he continued:

"When Jinghua Palace was founded, it was not with the purpose of dominating the sky and controlling the seven countries and one state. I think you can see this.

So the so-called "spiritual envoy", of course, does not only need to be excellent in cultivation, but also naturally needs to have shining points that surpass ordinary people in other aspects.

Before fulfilling some long-cherished wishes, our first task is to build a perfect world with absolute harmony, no pain, and no harm.

In this case, then every 'spiritual envoy' has the meaning of their existence.

Bai Xue, the same goes for you."

Speaking of this, Lu Lingqiu paused and said word by word:

"I need you."

——

Hearing this sentence, the girl was stunned on the spot.

"I……"

"So, don't take practice as everything. Do you understand what I mean?"

Listening carefully to the owner's heartfelt words of comfort and feeling his unique tenderness, Bai Xue softly said "hmm" and nodded in his arms.

"There's more,"

Lu Lingqiu released the girl, held her shoulders with both hands, looked directly into her crystal eyes, and said seriously:

"Your pressure actually does not come from others, but from your own heart."

In her confused eyes, he smiled gently and continued:

"As the master of Jinghua Palace, I naturally hope that every spirit envoy in Jinghua Palace can spend every day happily.

The fact that you can become a member of this big family already shows that you are good enough and no worse than anyone else. This is what I hope you can realize."

"But, but..."

"I know that you are a girl with strong self-esteem, and you definitely don't want to fall behind in your practice.

But think about it, you are a human being and have lived in the Lingyue Sect since childhood. In such an environment, being able to become the Morning Star is already considered a top monk among human beings;

After coming here, you successfully broke through the realm and reached the golden elixir stage without any high-level skills, which shows that your cultivation talent is extraordinary.

Do you know? You have been practicing the "Flower God's True Technique" for such a short time, but you have already been able to condense spiritual flowers, and the quality is extremely high. This is even earlier than your senior sister Qin Shiyin."

"She, she spends all her time studying your music scores...! It's not that her talent is not as good as mine..."

Bai Xue wanted to defend something, but how could he defend it against Lu Lingqiu, who was very proficient in "reasoning"?

He stretched out his hand, gently wiped away the tears that were gradually drying at the corners of her eyes, and said softly:

"Don't think too much. I promise you that when I come back, I will definitely provide you with special training on a regular basis.

So, stop crying, okay?"

"Eh??!!"

The girl was shocked when she heard this.

She had never thought that her master would be willing to make such a huge promise to her like he did to Mu Qing and Lian Xing! You know, that would cost a lot of time.

If you include the first and second generations of Jinghua Palace Spirit Envoys, there are already more than ten people in total. The master is actually willing to use such precious time to improve himself...?!

"I am just a trainee spirit user with the lowest cultivation level. I was kindly taken in by Sister Shui Lian... It is a great blessing to be able to become a regular and obtain the heaven-level skill - "Flower God's True Art". He actually really

They will treat me like they treat other official envoys...I..."

Bai Xue was feeling dizzy, and before she had time to think about other issues, she heard him say again:

"Also, don't practice any more during this period of time."

"Haha??" The girl was stunned when she heard this.

"After we all go out tomorrow, you can pack your bags and go on a trip to change your mood."

Lu Lingqiu said as he took out a brilliant black talisman from his spiritual ring and handed it into her hand:

"This is the heaven-level talisman of the 'Five Elements·Great Seal Technique'. Once it is cast, it can imprison the spiritual power of any enemy whose cultivation level is lower than the divine transformation stage and kill them directly. It can be used five times. You should keep it.

As a means of protection during this trip.”
