The sect is full of evildoers, but I am the eldest brother.

Wen Zilian, who had just come out of the retreat cave, noticed Xi Zhaozhao who was looking around anxiously.

But the word "Senior Sister" still made her look stunned for a moment.

Wen Zilian was wearing her signature dark green outfit, her skin was as white as cream and her eyes were bright. She leaned in front of Xi Zhaozhao and looked at the latter thoughtfully.

Before I could even ask.

The silly-looking little girl suddenly clamped her legs together and said with an embarrassed look on her face:

"Senior Sister, I, I..."

Seeing her amusing look, Wen Zilian thought for a moment, then seemed to understand something and nodded.

"Come with me."

As the clouds slowly dissipated.

The moon finally broke free from its restraints, crushed a large piece of silver, and splashed down, showing mercy to the world.

On both sides of the path, the trees cast long silhouettes, swaying gently in the night breeze.

As if dancing or whispering, the candlelight is particularly eye-catching on this secluded path.

Xi Zhaozhao was holding an oil lamp, with a simple and innocent smile on her face, feeling refreshed.

She followed Wen Zilian closely.

Although I don’t know why my usually kind and amiable senior sister has become silent and taciturn, it seems like she is hiding something.

But she didn't feel lonely at all.

On the contrary, Xi Zhaozhao seemed to have endless words to say. She chattered all the way and shared all the joy and insights she had gained during this period with Wen Zilian.

Although Wen Zilian did not respond, if the surroundings became quiet, she would occasionally glance back.

But that's all.

“It’s great to be here.”

Xi Zhaozhao smiled happily and was filled with emotion. The time she spent with Wen Zixi made her feel very relaxed.

It’s not that other people in the sect treat her badly, but for Xi Zhaozhao, it’s more comfortable to get along with the considerate Wen Zixi.

after all.......

Who would refuse some tenderness and consideration after you finish a day of practice?

Where is the big sister who massages your shoulders and loosens your waist?

Xi Zhaozhao said with a grin, "I originally thought that my senior brothers and sisters would dislike me because of my dull mind and clumsy hands and feet."

Upon hearing this, Wen Zilian looked at Xi Zhaozhao twice more.

Thinking back to when the two sisters formally joined the Taiyi Sect, they also had such naive thoughts.

It was not until later that I realized that it was indeed redundant.

Master has always been mysterious. It’s no surprise that he hasn’t been seen for years. There are only five people in Taiyi Sect.

But even so.

Management remains a mess.

The second and third brothers would start fighting over a disagreement. The fourth brother would always shout slogans like "Thirty years in the east, thirty years in the west, don't bully the young and poor." There was hardly any normal person in the room.

If it weren't for the senior brother who was holding on tightly, the two sisters might have run away the next day.

Become someone else's disciple.

But there is one thing to say.

Gu Junming played a big role in why the two Wen sisters chose to stay.

“But after I got here, I realized that the seniors are all very nice people!”

"There might be some minor conflicts on a daily basis, but everyone's relationship is very harmonious, which makes me feel..."

Xi Zhaozhao bared his eight large white teeth, his smile filled with brilliant joy, and said from the bottom of his heart:

“It feels like family!”

Family...

After hearing this, Wen Zilian couldn't help but fall into deep thought. Had she ever had a similar feeling before?

Maybe at some point, there should have been...

Wen Zilian suddenly smiled, and her hand stretched in the air hesitated, but still touched Xi Zhaozhao's head.

He smiled and said, "Big Brother will be very pleased that you think so."

"Why is it the eldest brother?"

Xi Zhaozhao was a little surprised.

"Don't you think so, Senior Sister? Senior Brother said that you are the most important family members in his life and have long become an inseparable part of him."

"That's why he was so angry when he saw Senior Sister Bai appear in the brothel."

Xi Zhaozhao added this sentence later.

As if not noticing the surprise in Wen Zilian's eyes, Xi Zhaozhao frowned and thought for a while before saying honestly:

"Although I don't understand why, but the eldest brother said that with him here, you can stay at the back and practice without distraction. He will take care of everything for you."

Xi Zhaozhao scratched his head, looking puzzled. "But Senior Brother also said that he can't always be there, so we should be prepared in advance."

"Sister, do you know what to prepare?"

Wen Zilian stood in the soft moonlight, like a fairy walking out of a painting. She raised her delicate head slightly, with delicate eyebrows and bright eyes like water, and spoke softly:

"Perhaps it's a heart that has not been corrupted by the world, or perhaps... it's a parting thought."

Xi Zhaozhao nodded as if she understood, thinking to herself how profound her senior sister's Taoism was.

It is difficult to understand what someone said or did.

But Wen Zilian's next words almost made Xi Zhaozhao's head burn.

Wen Zilian smiled and asked:

"What's your name?"

What's your name, what's your name, what's your name...

Xi Zhaozhao was stunned on the spot.

Is this some kind of test of conscience?

I remember my senior brother once said that the root of all the confusions and troubles in the world lies in the “heart”.

The key point is that she hasn't even learned all the basics yet and is still in the exploratory stage. Suddenly, she was asked what her name was, and she was dragged into the questioning without warning.

Let me ask you, how could my senior sister not know her name?

Obviously not.

There must be some deeper meaning behind this!

Xi Zhaozhao was sweating profusely for a moment, and was terrified that her answer would upset her senior sister.

The senior brother only said that the root solution lies in the "heart", but did not tell her how to use the "heart" specifically to tell her the answer.

In this situation, what should we do and how can we resolve this crisis?

Big Brother, where are you...

Come and save Zhao Zhao!

"what happened to you?"

Noticing Xi Zhaozhao's strangeness, Wen Zilian blinked her beautiful eyes and couldn't help but smile:

"Don't be nervous, I'm not evil..."

"Zhao Zhao is stupid, please forgive me for explaining it to you, Senior Sister!"

Before she finished speaking, Xi Zhaozhao immediately bent down and bowed to her respectfully.

Wen Zilian looked bewildered at first, then sneered and took the initiative to reach out and hold Xi Zhaozhao up.

"Not too stupid."

"At least he can clearly say his name. He's smarter than that dumb Xiaoba."

Xi Zhaozhao couldn't help feeling a little embarrassed when she heard this, but looking at the current situation, it seemed that she had successfully escaped the disaster?

"Hand out."

"No, that's not necessary, Senior Sister."

Wen Zilian pretended to be coquettish.

Seeing this, Xi Zhaozhao could only lower her head silently and reluctantly stretched out a white little hand.

"The other one."

Wen Zilian said again.

"All right......"

It seems that it can no longer be concealed.

Xi Zhaozhao responded weakly, and then obediently stretched out his burned right hand.

Her movement just now was too abrupt, causing some of the grease in the lamp holder to spill out.

I accidentally burned a blister on the back of my hand.

"Do you want to be a swordsman in the future?"

"Yeah! I also want to be like Senior Brother Xiao, a man of integrity... Yeah? Senior Sister, you..."

Xi Zhaozhao vaguely felt that something was wrong.

She carefully observed Wen Zilian from head to toe, but could not see any difference.

Xi Zhaozhao couldn't help but feel suspicious.

Didn’t senior sister know about this a long time ago?

Why bother asking this question...

Wen Zilian gently stroked the palm that was covered with a layer of calluses from wielding weapons too many times. A smile bloomed on her lips as she offered her sincere blessing as a senior sister:

"Diligence in cultivation leads to success."

"I hope Zhao Zhao can soon reach the other side of his ideal and become... the person he longs for."
