Chapter 250 - The Kind Person
Qirou’s cultivation was not weak.
Despite her young age, she seemed to be in her early twenties, but her cultivation level was already at the Spirit Transformation level.
And she was considered strong even among those at the Spirit Transformation level.
Chen An was not sure about the specific level, but he was sure she was not weak.
A person like her wouldn't fall asleep without reason.
After all, Chen An himself hadn't slept in a long time.
If she wasn't sleeping on her own, then it was probably the influence of the Tianyuan Pill.
Of course, it was also possible that she was pretending to be asleep.
But Chen An didn't care.
Whether she was pretending to sleep or actually sleeping, it was all the same to him.
He didn't do anything extra, just sat quietly, looking at the scenery in front of him.
Time slowly passed.
The sunlight gradually receded, dusk descended.
And Qirou still showed no signs of waking up.
Chen An was thinking whether he should wake her up himself when Qirou suddenly moved.
Under Chen An's gaze, Qirou's eyes flickered, her long eyelashes trembling slightly, showing signs of movement.
Then, she slowly opened her eyes, gazing at Chen An, looking as though she hadn't fully woken up yet.
"Is it already this late?" she asked softly, looking at Chen An.
"Yeah," Chen An nodded. "It's almost evening."
"The medicinal power in your body hasn't been fully absorbed yet, you should make sure to do so soon," he reminded her. "The Tianyuan Pill's medicinal power is very intense. If possible, you should try to absorb it all to avoid any negative effects on yourself."
Chen An didn't want anything bad to happen to Qirou.
It was a natural thing.
If Qirou didn't get into trouble, Chen An could continue to stay in this place comfortably, whether it was taking advantage of the situation or anything else.
But if something happened to her, and someone else took her place, things might not be as easy.
There might be more trouble in the future.
And Chen An naturally didn't like that.
"Okay," Qirou listened to Chen An's words and suddenly smiled. "I'll listen to you."
"Good," Chen An nodded and then stood up silently. "It's getting late, I have a class to attend, so I'll leave now."
"Wait," Qirou's voice came from behind.
Chen An turned back, puzzled.
Behind him, Qirou was lying on the grass with her long, finely groomed hair now in a bit of a mess, her delicate face looking slightly flushed, perhaps due to being exposed to the sun for too long.
Compared to before, Qirou at this moment looked more like a normal girl.
She lay there, looking at Chen An, but didn't speak for a while, just staring at his confused face, and then smiled, "It's okay, I'm fine."
"Take care on your way," she said.
"Okay," Chen An nodded, gestured to Qirou, and then turned around, silently leaving.
Qirou didn't say anything behind him, just silently watching Chen An's retreating figure until he disappeared from her sight.
The faint sunlight shone down from the sky, casting a lazy feeling over everyone.
Qirou sat on the ground, lost in thought, her eyes showing a hint of confusion.
"How do you feel?" a voice suddenly sounded not far away, with the usual hoarseness.
Lin Qiu's figure appeared not far away, standing beside Qirou without her noticing, "I feel very comfortable," Qirou smiled and said, "This Mr. Chen is really different from others."
"Just now, when I used the magic book to detect, I really didn't feel any malice from him, not even a thought of harming others."
"Such a person is truly rare."
"Is that so?" Lin Qiu was also a bit surprised.
The magic book practiced by Qirou could discern people's hearts and sense the good and evil in them.
This was a very outstanding ability, and had been very useful in the past.
The only downside was that in order to specifically sense the good and evil in others, it required a certain amount of time and close contact.
Qirou's nap just now was actually to immerse herself in this state in order to sense Chen An's thoughts.
But the result of the sensing was so unexpected.
Lin Qiu asked himself, if he were Chen An, how could he not have any hostile thoughts looking at Qirou who seemed completely defenseless?
Not to mention any lecherous thoughts, just in terms of the current situation, could it be that he had no thoughts of taking Qirou as a hostage to leave?
"In this world, there are great evil people, and naturally there are also great kind people."
He pondered for a moment, then spoke.
"Why is it that there are great evil people everywhere in the world, while great kind people like Mr. Chen are so few?" Qirou asked.
"The great evil people can do evil, but the great kind people, may not necessarily have a good result."
Lin Qiu said, "Heaven's laws are unchanging, kind people are always difficult to be, even a naturally kind person may end up dead or no longer pure under the current circumstances."
"Like Mr. Chen, who has such talents and a pure personality, is rare in the world."
He explained.
In simple terms, evil people can do evil, and this can be sustainable, but kind people may not always have a good outcome.
Most of the time, doing good deeds does not necessarily lead to good results, and may even lead to bad things.
As time goes on, kind people are either killed or no longer kind, so they gradually become rare.
But the rarer they are, the more precious they become.
"Is that so," Qirou thoughtfully listened to Lin Qiu's words.
"Miss, it seems like you really like this Mr. Chen?" Lin Qiu suddenly asked.
"A little bit," if it were an ordinary woman, even if she had feelings, she would feel embarrassed about this topic. But Qirou nodded directly without any concealment, "Compared to others, being with this Mr. Chen, at least feels quite safe."
Practicing the magic book was both lucky and unlucky.
Practicing this inheritance allowed Qirou to have a brilliant future.
But because of practicing this inheritance from a young age, Qirou had experienced many ugly things.
If the time was short, it was okay, but as time passed, she would sense any malice in anyone's heart. The longer the time, the clearer and more obvious it became.
Everyone has some evil thoughts in their hearts, even a universally recognized good person would have fleeting evil thoughts.
These things were of no concern to most people, but for someone like Qirou, it was a very real issue.
Being in the place she was at, in the devil's gate, she could easily imagine what kind of people were around her.
She had grown up in a world of malice, and she was almost used to it.
For Qirou, Chen An was like a different world.
At least before Chen An, she had never thought there could be such a person in the world.
"If Miss has a plan, then go ahead."
Seeing Qirou's reaction, Lin Qiu smiled and said, "The practice of the magic book emphasizes the need for a clear mind."
"If Miss is willing, then go ahead and do it."
If it were a righteous person, there might be some hesitation and concerns.
But the devil's cultivator didn't consider that.
Devil's cultivators valued having an open mind and doing as they pleased.
As a result, devil's cultivators were proficient in taking various shortcuts, but they were also prone to falling into madness for various reasons.
In this case, if there were any blockages in the mind, it was possible that they could fall into madness at any time.
This was the main reason why devil's cultivators valued having an open mind.
In comparison, the cultivators of the Dao didn't have as many issues.
Meanwhile, on the other side, Chen An was still busy.
After leaving Qirou, he returned to his lodging and continued to work on drawing diagrams, preparing to continue studying array formations.
He didn't know that Qirou and Lin Qiu had already regarded him as a great kind person.
If he knew, he would probably be very confused.
Of course, in a way, it wasn't entirely wrong.
Although he didn't want to admit it, compared to the overall cultivation level of the cultivators in this world, Chen An's moral standards were relatively high.
Compared to these cultivators, Chen An's reputation as a great kind person was quite legitimate.
It was certainly a unique comparison.
In the quiet room, Chen An was still busy writing, studying hard.
Calculating the time, it was already considered night, and it was almost time to go to sleep.
But as mentioned before, Chen An didn't sleep much these days.
This was the benefit of advancing to the Spirit Transformation level, as his cultivation deepened, his need for sleep gradually decreased. At this point, he could go several days without sleep without any issues.
This was just the Spirit Transformation level; if he reached the Golden Core level, he wouldn't have any problems with not eating or sleeping.
Not needing to eat or sleep, coupled with a strong body and vigorous spirit of a cultivator.
Chen An could endure even more than a 9 to 5 job.
The capitalist of the previous life would probably cry and beg him to come work for them if they knew.
Unfortunately, despite having such abilities, Chen An could only push himself.
After all, learning this kind of thing had always been a hands-on process, and no one could replace him.
"The teleportation array should be ready soon."
Chen An recorded the diagram in front of him, and then the thought flashed through his mind.
His learning progress was still very fast.
With enough source power support, he could open the modeling process at any time, which accelerated his learning progress, even scaring people with how fast he progressed.
Chen An had already learned what he wanted to learn now.
The teleportation array diagram.
The teleportation array was a big category in the array formations, with many branches included.
The one Chen An was currently learning was the basic one, called the Small Teleportation Array.
