On the other side, Ruozhu returned to Yuehua Sect and went straight to the guest room where Li Jiner was.

Li Jin'er was sitting at the table with a frown on her face, worried about something.

Hearing the sound of the door being pushed open, Li Jin'er looked up and saw that the person coming was Ruozhu. She couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

Ruozhu walked in hurriedly, turned around, closed the door, and went straight to the seat next to her.

Then, Li Jin'er was a little worried that her brother Li Fuyi's rejection was too direct and would annoy Ruozhu.

The friendship between Ruozhu and her is somewhat mixed with the relationship between her younger brother Li Fuyi.

They both knew this.

Now that the time has come to make things clear, Li Jin'er is very nervous, not knowing whether this friendship can be maintained.

Ruozhu picked up the kettle on the table. It was warm to the touch and just right for her taste, so she simply gulped down the water from the spout.

Until there was no drop of water left in the pot, he reached out and scooped up the cup in front of Li Jiner and drank it all.

Still feeling it wasn't enough, he said, "Jin'er, my brocade bag is full of wine. Do you have anything else to quench your thirst?"

Li Jin'er was stunned for a moment, then handed her a spare water bottle for when going out for training.

Ruozhu took it immediately and drank half a pot before she burped in relief.

He gave a relaxed smile to the nervous Li Jin'er: "Look how nervous you are! I didn't let your brother suffer at all, it was me who got itchy."

Li Jin'er immediately understood Ruozhu's implied meaning and the result.

"Fuyi is not good at talking, don't bother with him."

Ruozhu smiled sweetly, her whole face bright and unusual. She waved her hands without any concern, "It doesn't matter if he's stupid or not. At least he's honest enough. Unlike those stinky men out there who only know how to take advantage of women."

"Now that my worries are gone, I can focus on practicing the ruthless way." Although he said this, there was a hint of loss in his eyes that was hard to hide.

Seeing this, Li Jin'er felt distressed and reached out to hold Ruozhu's hand, hoping that she could give her some comfort.

After knowing each other for so many years, they gradually developed a mutual understanding.

Everyone has love in their heart, but they cannot get what they want.

She didn't want to hurt either her brother or Ruozhu.

In the past, no matter how many times Ruozhu hinted or suggested it, she never thought of really helping Ruozhu do some "stupid things".

The reason why Li Jin'er agreed to bring Li Fuyi out this time was to let Ruozhu "settle" the matter.

It is also because Ruozhu has reached the final moment where she must choose a martial arts method.

There is no time to delay, she must choose the ruthless way or the secret method of dual cultivation and continue practicing.

Seeing her smile so brightly, Li Jin'er blurted out: "If you want to cry, I'll accompany you."

These words seemed to carry magic, touching the softest part of Ruozhu's heart.

Ruozhu was stunned. "Since you said so, I won't be polite."

Then he threw himself on her shoulder with red eyes and sobbed softly.

Now that she is the clan leader, it is a luxury for her to vent her emotions by crying.

Li Jin'er gently patted Ruozhu's back with her hands, the rhythm was steady and gentle.

Not long after, Li Jin'er felt her shoulders gradually wet with tears, and her eyes became moist involuntarily.

Ruozhu's love has already borne fruit, but what about mine?

She couldn't help but raise her hand to stroke her veil. An indescribable sadness surged up, making her vision increasingly blurred.

The next morning, Ruozhu personally saw the brother and sister off, then immediately began to go into seclusion to formally practice the Way of Ruthlessness.

Li Fuyi behaved normally throughout the journey, and Li Jiner thanked him anyway: "Fuyi, thank you. And, sister... I'm sorry."

Li Fuyi shook her head slightly, a hint of barely perceptible expectation flashing across her eyes, and asked a question that made Li Jin'er's heart beat faster:

"Sister, do you still like Master? The kind of love between a man and a woman."

Li Jin'er thought about it for a while, but finally mustered up the courage to tell him frankly: "I like you! I've tried to give up, but... I can't forget it, I can't change it."

Hearing this, the corners of Li Fuyi's mouth drooped slightly, and there was a hint of depression in his eyes.

But when Li Jin'er looked at him with anticipation, he instantly put on a smile.

"okay, I get it."

Li Jin'er felt a surge of excitement, her eyes sparkling with joy. "Fuyi, do you... agree?"

Although Li Fuyi's smile was a little forced, his eyes were still gentle when he looked at Li Jin'er, "Sister and Master are the most important people to me. I hope you can both get what you want."

"If Master also has this intention in his heart, no matter what others think or say, I just hope that you are happy. That's enough."

"But if Master doesn't want to..." After a pause, Li Fuyi lowered his head slightly, making it difficult for Li Jin'er to see his eyes. His voice also became lowered, "Sister, don't be too stubborn. You'll ruin your life..."

Last night, he first realized his feelings for his master. It turned out that it was no longer a simple master-disciple relationship, but also a deep desire.

I felt a sudden enlightenment, joy, and even a little unsatisfied.

But then he thought of Li Jin'er and Lin Moran, one his biological sister and one his senior sister. Do they treat their master the same way as he does?

Originally, when Li Jin'er talked to him at night, he thought that his elder sister just said that she had the same admiration for the master as he did, but she misunderstood.

Looking back now, maybe I took it for granted.

The senior sister has been following the master since she was a child. The tacit understanding between the two of them sometimes does not require words at all, which makes him a little jealous.

If we talk about the good men in the eyes of senior sister, Master should be the first one.

What's more, Master is such a good person, he deserves the best Taoist partner to love him, protect him and accompany him.

What kind of Taoist partner does Master want?

Could it be one of them?

Could it be me?

Or maybe someone else, some stranger they don't even know?

There were so many things on my mind, like a tangled mess, that I kept my eyes open until dawn.

In the end, he followed his heart and decided that no matter which one his master liked, he would silently bless and protect her.

if……

He only protects his master.

He didn't even think about letting his master know his thoughts, for fear that he would insult such a good master.

He was even more afraid that after his master knew about it, he would dislike him and stay away from him.

That would only make him miserable!

After hearing what he said, Li Jin'er lost her excitement instantly.

The more I thought about it, the more anxious I became. Looking at my brother's tall and straight back, I finally couldn't help myself:

"Fuyi... do you really... like Master too?!"

She spoke without thinking that night, but she never expected that her words would come true.

Li Fuyi grinned widely, laughing happily, "Sure enough, my sister saw through me."

"However, I won't embarrass Master."

"Just pretend you don't know."

Li Jin'er burst into tears instantly, not knowing whether she was crying for herself, for her brother, or even because the siblings had become rivals in love.

My hopeless love is fine, but my brother and Master...

What separated them was more like a chasm, bottomless. If one of them accidentally fell down, he would surely be smashed to pieces!

I'm afraid they can only wait until the day when Master really marries his wife, and then their hidden feelings as siblings can be completely broken off...
