Demonic Dao Fanfiction: Protecting You from Worries for a Lifetime

Ling Chao frowned slightly upon hearing this, clearly holding reservations about Ling Jin's explanation. However, he also understood that since his senior brother was unwilling to discuss further, further questioning would be pointless. So, he changed the subject, "Senior brother, the medicinal food is getting cold. You should eat it while it's still hot."

Ling Jin nodded, motioning Ling Chao to bring the medicinal food over. Seeing Ling Jin enjoying the meal, Ling Chao smiled contentedly. He sat beside Ling Jin, quietly accompanying him and occasionally offering a few caring words that warmed Ling Jin's heart.

Ling Jin lowered his head and sipped the chicken soup, then asked casually, "A Chao, what do you think of Junior Brother Lan?"

Ling Chao paused when he heard this, glanced at his senior brother who was drinking soup, a sly flicker in his eyes, then he regained his composure and replied seriously, "Junior Brother Lan is humble and polite, practices diligently, and takes good care of me. He is trustworthy."

After hearing Ling Chao's words, Ling Jin's eyes seemed to flash a barely perceptible red light. He continued to ask, "So, do you think he and you are still a good match?"

Ling Chao's cheeks flushed instantly when he heard this. He lowered his head shyly and whispered, "Brother, what nonsense are you talking about? Junior Brother Lan and I are just brothers."

Ling Jin looked at Ling Chao's shy expression and couldn't help but laugh in his heart. Ling Jin had now figured it out. Regardless of whether the dream was real or not, he and that person would part ways and become his own senior brother. Pei Huai was his junior brother and could only be his junior brother.

It seems that one of them is affectionate and the other is interested. He said earnestly, "As long as Ah Chao likes it, Senior Brother will support you."

Ling Chao: "What about you, Senior Brother?"

Ling Jin paused for a moment, then smiled. "Me? Ah Chao, you have to know that I am the eldest senior brother of the Guiyuan Sect and the next heir of the Guiyuan Sect. Love is just the smallest part of it and it's not important."

Ling Jin looked at the smile on his senior brother's lips. Isn't it important? But why is his smile so bitter?

Ling Jin gently patted Ling Chao's shoulder, his tone firm and carefree: "A Chao, you don't have to worry about me. I know what's most important."

After saying this, he stood up and walked to the window. He seemed to be able to see the prosperous scene within the sect, and his eyes revealed a subtle loneliness. But he quickly restrained his emotions and turned to Ling Chao and said, "A Chao, you go practice. I'll rest for a while."

Although Ling Chao still had many questions in his mind, seeing that his senior brother was unwilling to say more, he could only nod and said, "Okay. Then, senior brother, you have a good rest. I will go to practice first."

Ling Jin smiled and nodded, watching Ling Chao leave the room. When Ling Chao's figure completely disappeared from his sight, the smile on his face gradually disappeared, replaced by a deep thought.

If he hadn't had the dream, he might have really wanted a result, but now Ling Jin had backed off. He didn't dare... didn't dare to gamble with his master, Achao, and the sect. If the dream came true, he couldn't imagine what the consequences would be.

Whenever he closed his eyes, the scene in his dream would appear in his mind. It was a scarlet battlefield. The gate of Guiyuan Sect was stained with blood, and there were ruins everywhere. The bodies of his fellow disciples were lying on the ground in all directions. He himself stood in the center of the battlefield, holding a long sword, his eyes full of despair and anger.

For him, love is nothing but a passing cloud.

Thinking of this, he took a deep breath, closed his eyes, and began to practice silently.
