If that's the case and both Xu Wei and Sister He are willing to accept each other, and they have shown Chen Dengming kindness and companionship in hardship, what's the point in him pretending to be disinterested, or saying that he has closed his heart?
All they ask for is acknowledgement and companionship.
If they are willing to support each other along the path of cultivation, with the hope of reaching the Golden Core level together, without seeking wealth or making risky bets, then that's the sincerest proposition anyone can make.
With that... they can cultivate as dao spouses, look beyond the Golden Core stage to the Nascent Soul phase, and as for immortality... that's a too lofty goal to consider right now.
Even if one must tread the path alone, it's still worthwhile, for a life lived with love is far superior to a cold and emotionless Dao of Immortality. One is never alone in this path.

Seven or eight days passed in a blink of an eye.
