Ye Nan nodded in agreement and said nothing more.

Mei Ruoxue was a little surprised, "Master...you are not going to persuade me anymore?"

Ye Nan laughed, "Why should I advise you? Everyone has their own aspirations. There's no need to force anything."

Mei Ruoxue showed a look of surprise and murmured, "I thought you..."

"What do you think?" Ye Nan said with a smile, "Speak louder."

Mei Ruoxue grinned awkwardly, "Nothing, I just followed you in your training these days, and I saw that you taught in a very strict way with strict rules, so I thought you were also a stubborn and conservative person..."

Ye Nan didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "Although we are master and disciple, we are of similar age, so you shouldn't look at me like that!"

Mei Ruoxue also laughed, "As long as Master, I am led astray by my mother, and I am forced to go on a blind date and get married, that's all!"

"Of course I won't force you." Ye Nan said seriously, "I'm just telling you that you are not interested now and no one is forcing you. If you suddenly change your mind in the future and want to find a good partner, no one will stop you. Don't have any psychological concerns, just do what you want."

Mei Ruoxue immediately showed a strange look, "Master, didn't you want me to take over the affairs of the blessed land? If I get married, how can I take over? Master, did you regret it?"

Ye Nan didn't know whether to laugh or cry. "Didn't you go to college in the secular world? This is all nonsense!"

"Does getting married have anything to do with being a leader?"

Mei Ruoxue sighed softly, "That's the truth, but in reality there are always many other factors."

After a pause, she continued, "Although I am a woman, I have to admit that compared to men, women are more likely to be overwhelmed by emotions and become irrational."

"That is why secular leadership remains overwhelmingly dominated by men."

"Just imagine, if I really have someone I like, and he happens to be an ambitious person, then your foundation, Master, will not be handed over to me, but all to outsiders!"

Ye Nan was instantly amused again, "What a twisted theory! Women are more likely to be obsessed with feelings than men. Where did you come up with this conclusion?"

"Have you ever done any statistics on whether there are more male or female lickers in the secular world?"

Mei Ruoxue was stunned, then burst into laughter, bright and charming, "Master seems to be better at making crooked arguments than I am! In fact, just look at yourself and you will know. I have so many mistresses, but you are still not confused. I can't imagine it..."

Ye Nan was at a loss for words and rolled his eyes. "You are being sarcastic, teacher. It's not too much to punish you for being disobedient and disrespectful!"

Mei Ruoxue smiled and didn't take it seriously at all. Instead, she trotted over to Ye Nan and sat down next to her.

After spending these few days together, Mei Ruoxue's understanding of Ye Nan has deepened.

He was a man who was never vague when it came to serious matters. He urged himself to cultivate himself with extreme strictness and punished people without mercy.

But on weekdays he is very easy to talk to, has no temper, and never acts like an elder.

Mei Ruoxue's personality also changed a lot in front of Ye Nan.

In fact, every young person needs an elder who can be a true friend.

Ye Nan played this role very well.

"Master, can we take a rest tonight and stop meditating and regulating our energy?" Mei Ruoxue suddenly asked.

Ye Nan smiled and said, "Since your parents are coming, I was planning to give you a night off so that you can spend some time with them."

"They don't need my company!" Mei Ruoxue pouted, "Master, please chat with me!"

A wonderful feeling also surged in Ye Nan's heart.

As for those two disciples in the past, Yun Ruoqing had impure intentions towards him from the very beginning, and her attitude was too annoying when she was with him.

Kong Qianling's hatred gradually changed.

Mei Ruoxue is the only one with whom I can chat normally as a friend.

"Master, we have known each other for a short time. Why do you trust me so much and let me take over your job?" Mei Ruoxue asked the question that had been in her mind.

"I don't trust you." Ye Nan shrugged. "To be precise, when it comes to business, I don't trust or distrust anyone."

"Ah? What do you mean?" Mei Ruoxue didn't understand.

“It takes people to get things done, but human nature is inherently flawed, so people invented systems to constrain it.”

“I believe in the role of the system.”

Mei Ruoxue seemed to understand but not quite.

Ye Nan sighed softly, "Do you think that I am here to keep my word and will not bear any consequences even if I do something foolish and cruel?"

"Isn't it?" Mei Ruoxue blinked twice, "Who can beat you?"

"Indeed." Ye Nan nodded with a smile, "So you still don't understand why all the cultivation resources in the blessed land are open to everyone?"

"That's why I urge all talented people to intensify their practice."

"That's why I strongly support Tianqing Sect and Yunyin Pavilion to move in, coexist and form a sect alliance."

"The most important point is why I am so eager to accept an ideal apprentice and pass on my skills to him."

Mei Ruoxue was stunned, her heart trembling violently. She really didn't think so much.

"Whether it is inherited or not, I am very open-minded about this matter. Billions of years later, the starry sky will be extinguished, the universe will no longer exist, and nothing can last forever."

"I accept disciples not for inheritance, but only for checks and balances."

"I am also a human being. I can make mistakes and be confused. I just hope that when I make a mistake, there is a force here that can stop me."

Mei Ruoxue looked at Ye Nan with burning eyes, her heart deeply shocked.

She finally understood.

There are so many people practicing in this blessed land, and there are a large number of them with outstanding talents.

But Ye Nan knew very well that the person who could surpass him would most likely be someone he had trained himself.

Mei Ruoxue calmed down and smiled slightly, "If one day I really surpass you, won't no one be able to control me?"

"So I am not conveying my thoughts to you now, am I not?" Ye Nan said calmly, "You should be better than me in leadership ability. You will have plenty of time to consider improving the system in the future. But first of all, your own thoughts must be correct."

Mei Ruoxue's smile became even brighter. "It seems that Master will not only teach me how to practice, but also how to be a good person!"

Ye Nan was silent for a moment, and suddenly he sighed, "I have never shown respect to your master Wu Chen on the surface. But I know deep in my heart that the greatest favor he has done to me in this life is not to teach me skills, but to teach me that I will never become those people on Congyun Peak!"

"If there is anything I really want to pass on, it is your master's sense of responsibility."

Mei Ruoxue was moved by what she heard, and looked at Ye Nan solemnly, "Don't worry, Master. If you accept me, there will be someone to take over the throne!"
