On the way back, Gu Ning felt something was wrong.

It was too quiet. When she went out, the chattering along the way even gave her a headache.

But along the way, it was so quiet except for Gu Ning's chattering. Ye Xiaoshu occasionally joined in the conversation, and only Ye Shuming and Gu Ning were "in cahoots", talking about this and that.

Once the two stopped talking, the only sound that could be heard on the road was the chirping of birds.

Gu Ning looked over quietly and saw Meng Jia walking in front alone with a look of heavy heart, and a hint of unremovable sadness lingered between his brows.

Since when did the eldest brother start to seem to be worried?

Gu Ning pondered secretly and his heart suddenly skipped a beat.

It seems like... twin magic?

The eldest brother seemed to have some special reaction to the twin technique. But when you think about it carefully, he didn't do anything special.

Shaking his head, Gu Ning wondered if he was worrying too much about Meng Jia.

In fact, because of the description of Meng Jia in the book, Gu Ning had to doubt.

Commit suicide?

Or was it because Gu Rou ignored the advice and ran back to the Demon Clan and returned to Qin Mian...From what I have observed over the past few days, it seems that Meng Jia simply did not get close to Gu Rou, and could even be described as being indifferent.

So why... did he end up with such a ridiculous ending?

There may be some reason behind this that cannot be told to outsiders.

If it is really the twin magic, I can go back to the sect and ask the master about the origin of the eldest brother.

When he turned his head again, he saw Ye Xiaoshu who was immersed in his own talisman formation all the way. Gu Ning couldn't help but sigh secretly in his heart.

The book says that Ye Xiaoshu was a slave beside Qin Mian... Why would the third senior sister, who was so proud, give up her pride and be willing to be Qin Mian's slave?

The next moment, the silly Ye Shuming patted Gu Ning's shoulder with a smile, "Do you want to eat?"

In his hand was a bowl of stinky tofu, which he had bought from some stall. He presented it to Gu Ning as if it were a treasure.

When Gu Ning thought about how such an optimistic and foolish person was pierced through the heart by a sword and had no power to fight back at all, he felt that this was truly unfair.

It’s really unfair. Even the female protagonist of Tian Dao, Gu Rou...the preference she receives is more like a kind of confinement.

In fact, all her talents and gifts can serve the male protagonist, and all her preferences and abilities must be sacrificed for the greater good of the people. Even if only one person is hurt in front of her because of her, she cannot retreat, cannot leave, and cannot have the slightest cowardice or selfishness.

Gu Ning had an indescribable feeling. Was there something wrong with the Heaven...that was why she, an outsider, came to this world?

"Junior sister, what are you thinking about?" Seeing that Gu Ning was slow to speak, Ye Shuming slapped her mercilessly, causing Gu Ning to shudder in pain.

"You... um... are delicious!" Gu Ning's mouth was blocked by a mouthful of stinky tofu. When he looked up again, the misty Mingyue Sect was right in front of him.

"Eat quickly and get rid of the smell later. We dare not let our master know that we are so presumptuous."

People who practice Taoism should not pay much attention to the desire for food and drink. If their master knew that they were so indulgent, they would probably be locked up again.

Gu Ning understood what he meant. Before stepping into Mingyue Sect, he finished his stinky tofu in a few bites, leisurely asked Ye Xiaoshu for a cleansing talisman, and then walked in with a smile.

As soon as he entered, Gu Ning noticed something different. Two bright red lanterns were hung high at the mountain gate, which had always been cold and noble. The disciples guarding the mountain in front of the gate had flying hairbands in a soft, bright red color.

"Senior brothers and sisters, you are back. You finally made it back before the New Year." The two disciples bowed happily. Several people hurriedly returned the greeting, took the red hairbands from the disciples and tied them in their hair, then walked briskly into the sect.

Song Yu and Hu Dengfeng followed quietly behind him. Song Yu's eyes fell on Gu Ning from time to time, with a bit of hesitation as if she wanted to say something.

Finally, when Gu Ning and the others were about to step onto Mingyue Peak, Song Yu hesitantly called out, "Junior Sister."

Gu Ning paused and waved to the brothers and sisters who had also stopped, "You go first, I'll be there later."

Several people nodded and walked towards the main peak without stopping.

Gu Ning turned around, tilted his head and looked at Song Yu without saying a word.

This little girl has something to say, and Gu Ning has been waiting for her all the way.

Hu Dengfeng was slow to react at this time. The two wanted to talk alone, so he stepped back and said, "Junior Sister, Junior Sister, I'll go back first."

After he left, Song Yu bit her lip, took a few steps closer, and called out hesitantly, "Junior Sister..."

"Hmm." Gu Ning nodded and waited for her follow-up.

"You...you and your sister have a good relationship, right?" Originally there were a lot of things she wanted to say, but for some reason, Song Yu suddenly said what was in her mind.

After saying this, Song Yu's eyes suddenly turned red for a moment, and she explained, "Junior Sister, I don't mean anything else... I'm just... envious."

Gu Ning raised an eyebrow. What was going on with these words having a strange "tea fragrance"?

"Yes, the relationship between Arou and I is naturally good."

Song Yu's expression dimmed for a moment, then suddenly brightened up again, "Actually, I want to say thank you, Junior Sister, for taking care of me like a younger sister these days."

"Let's not talk about that. Fellow disciples should take care of each other."

Gu Ning tried hard to suppress the strange feeling in his heart. Song Yu...could it be that she wanted a sister?

"I will definitely work harder in my cultivation in the future." Song Yu smiled, "Next time I go out with Junior Sister, I will definitely not hold her back."

"Come on." Gu Ning readily encouraged her, "I believe in you."

Song Yu nodded vigorously, "Then I wish you a happy new year in advance, and a smooth journey to immortality."

Gu Ning smiled and replied. Seeing that she had nothing to say, he suppressed the wonder in his heart and turned to walk towards the main peak.

Song Yu was left standing there alone, and it took a long time before she managed to smile again.

"I will definitely be better than her."

She clenched her fists, and her mind flashed the image of Gu Rou clinging to Gu Ning, smiling sweetly and looking intimate and comfortable. The envy in her heart gradually turned into jealousy.

She didn't know what she was jealous of. Maybe it was Gu Rou's natural talent, or the attention and indulgence that Gu Rou easily gained... But Gu Rou's every move was exactly like hers, so weak, so gentle...

But the moment Gu Rou appeared, a voice in Song Yu's heart rang out, "I want to be like her."

At present, there is only one person that Song Yu can win over...that is the good sister, Junior Sister.
