It was outright cruel.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fang Can smiled at Yuan Dang and his senior disciple and said, “Thank you both. I don’t have much luggage—just tidy it up.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the resentful Yuan Dang and his senior went to prepare the room, Ye Yonglie smiled and said, “Qingshi, Fang’s just arrived at the academy—take him around the grounds to help him get familiar with the place.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even if she were slow-witted, Ye Qingshi understood her father’s intent—but filial duty demanded obedience; no matter how displeased she was, the girl could only suppress it and muttered grumpily to Fang Can, “Come with me. I’ll show you around.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Watching the clearly disgruntled girl, Fang Can’s expression remained calm as he followed her out of the hall.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Until they reached a deserted corner, Ye Qingshi turned to face him, her expression cold, pointing a finger at Fang Can: “You—”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I know what you mean,” Fang Can cut in before she could speak: “My father thinks I have feelings for you, so he’s trying to bring us together—but you don’t feel the same, and you want me to give up, right?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Uh—” Ye Qingshi stared at him for a moment, then said, “Yes, so…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Don’t worry—I’m very clean. I have no strong interest in beautiful girls who merely have basic physiological needs.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fang Can smiled politely: “For the next few days, aside from following you, I won’t do anything improper—you can tell the director directly.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You—” A faint blush rose on Ye Qingshi’s face from anger.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This man was unlike any she’d ever met—he’d already said everything she meant to say. What could she say now?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Fang Can remained calm, for he knew the only obstacle to staying near the girl was Director Ye.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In this ancient world of parental decree and matchmaker arrangements, children had no authority over their own bodies.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Qingshi, a girl who hadn’t even touched martial cultivation, was even more powerless—she wouldn’t even control her own future.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Right now, Ye Yonglie was practically becoming Fang Can’s devoted disciple for the sake of martial progress; as long as Fang Can’s actions weren’t outrageous, staying near the girl posed no problem.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So Fang Can had decided from the start to lay his cards on the table and state his position clearly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Then… what exactly do you want?” Ye Qingshi asked, her delicate face puzzled: “You say you don’t like me, yet you keep following me—isn’t that contradictory?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Not contradictory,” Fang Can replied frankly: “For the next few days, I’ll simply stay by your side, as long as it doesn’t disrupt your life. I hope you won’t mind.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“How could I not mind?” Ye Qingshi thought bitterly; the faint warmth she’d felt moments ago vanished instantly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She realized arguing with this blockhead was useless—she’d just tell her father tonight how unpleasant Fang Can was and get him kicked out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After using a series of Sigma-man maxims to kill the conversation, Fang Can fell silent and followed Ye Qingshi, slowly activating the Tiger Subduing Dragon Subduing Golden Body, letting its vibrations ripple through every inch of his body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thus, as Ye Qingshi led the way and Fang Can silently cultivated—two entirely unrelated actions unfolding simultaneously—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After spending over ten minutes touring the entire academy, Fang Can finally couldn’t hold back: “Can you stop for a moment?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What did you say?” Ye Qingshi, surprised he’d spoken at all, didn’t understand his meaning.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Of course, your constant walking is messing up my cultivation signal—my efficiency keeps fluctuating,” Fang Can mentally grumbled, but feared saying so might break her composure and make her refuse to cooperate.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So after thinking, he said: “My cultivation method requires you to be near me.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Me? What does that have to do with me?” Ye Qingshi asked skeptically.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Martial cultivation efficiency is tied to mood—the happier you are, the better the results,\" Fang Can said, gazing at her stunningly beautiful face: \"And you, Miss Ye, are very beautiful.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Just as seeing something beautiful lifts your spirits, I must stay near you to enhance my cultivation—this is my method, no other reason, purely for emotional pleasure.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“W-what?” Unprepared for such a compliment, Ye Qingshi instinctively stepped back two paces; Fang Can, meanwhile, stepped forward two paces, ensuring his signal strength didn’t weaken.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“This concerns martial cultivation,” Fang Can said solemnly, disguising his lust as a legitimate practice: “Please allow me to stay by your side for the next few days.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Due to the nature of Mind-Dependent Martial Arts, this world had every conceivable system and cultivation method.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So for a moment, Ye Qingshi couldn’t tell whether he was merely disguising lust as cultivation—or whether he truly needed her presence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The girl stammered: “Then… you… you can follow me if you want.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Might I ask you to pause for a moment somewhere, so I may cultivate using your breathtaking beauty?” Fang Can asked earnestly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“T-there’s a pavilion ahead,” Ye Qingshi said, cheeks flushed: “I’m tired too—we can rest there.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The two entered the pavilion; Ye Qingshi sat gracefully on a stone bench, gently fanning her face to cool her blush.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for Fang Can, he truly did as he claimed—once the signal source stopped moving, he calmly sat cross-legged, focusing his energy, cultivating as if no one else were present.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>(End of Chapter)\u003C\u002Fp>",1141,"2026-06-20T07:05:46.054Z",1,"Qwen3-Next 80B","b18cb1786f450faa6e9c40dfdb6150e1fda53624a17b286f0c78cb8467991464","this-high-martial-world-is-too-crazy-chapter-46","this-high-martial-world-is-too-crazy-chapter-44",368,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fthis-high-martial-world-is-too-crazy-cover.jpg"]
