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

As the sky darkened, the streets, which had been bustling all day, began to lose their daytime hustle and bustle.

The pedestrians' footsteps gradually slowed down until they became sparse, just like the ebb and flow of the river.

After the turbulent waves, things will return to calm.

"How's it going? Did you find it?"

"No......"

The third meeting was still unsuccessful, and Yan Chichun felt a headache, but after searching his memory, his irritable mood was relieved a lot.

In memory, the little junior sister Xi Zhaozhao followed in Xiao Jianxin's footsteps and joined the Zhengmeng.

But not before that.

Zhao Zhao accompanied them in Taiyi Gate and spent a memorable time together.

"Senior Sister, wuwu... I've searched everywhere, but I still can't find Zhaozhao."

Bai Linglong sniffed, and tears as big as beans rolled down her cheeks again.

She threw herself into Yan Chichun's arms and broke down crying.

"Wow! Senior Sister... What should I do? Zhao Zhao is still so young. Senior Brother clearly told me to keep an eye on her before we left, but, but..."

"Wow, I'm sorry, I'm really sorry..."

Yan Chichun is not good at speaking, and often doesn't know how to express himself when words come to his lips.

Perhaps in the eyes of her fellow students, she has always been an outsider with a cold temperament.

He is not as kind and friendly as the eldest brother, nor as responsible as the fourth brother.

Not even as good as the two gentle and humble Junior Sisters Wen.

"It's okay, Xiaojiu, Senior Sister also has responsibilities..."

at the same time.

On Luohua Street, in front of a restaurant called "Zuiyuexuan", the lights are on, dazzling.

Gu Junming held Xi Zhaozhao's hand and thanked the young man who had escorted them to the door again:

"Brother Zi Che, the food is delicious. Thank you for your hospitality."

"No, no, I should be the one thanking Brother Gu."

Zi Chezhong's face was full of joy, and he laughed heartily:

"To be honest, I haven't been this happy in a long time. I'm so lucky to have met someone like Brother Gu who shares my ideals."

"Brother Zi Che, you are too kind."

Gu Junming also smiled, lowered his head and patted Xi Zhaozhao's back, who had a mouth full of oil, and asked, "I'm leaving now. Do you have anything else to say to Brother Zi Che?"

"Yeah! Thank you, Brother Zi Che!"

"Haha... Zhaozhao, you must be more careful in the future. There are so many bad people in this world!"

Zi Che Zhong stood on the steps, smiled and waved, bidding farewell to his two senior brothers and sisters, Gu Junming and Xi Zhaozhao.

It was not until the two figures, one big and one small, became blurred in the twilight that he shook his head with deep emotion.

Turn around and go back to Zuiyuexuan.

"Young Master, they..."

"Ok?"

Seeing Zi Chezhong's eyes narrowed with a hint of hostility, the strong man hurriedly clasped his fists and bowed his waist, then changed his words:

"Son!"

"Hmm~" Zi Chezhong nodded with satisfaction, "Since you've had your fun today, I'll let you go, just this once."

"I'll follow your words, sir." The strong man responded respectfully, but his back was already covered in cold sweat.

"Let's go. We've wasted too much time. Those guys from the Blood Demon Hall are probably already complaining."

"Yes."

It was really beyond Gu Junming's expectation that he would have the honor to meet his friend Zi Che Zhong today.

Originally, Gu Junming had lost his three junior sisters and planned to call it a day and return to Taiyi Sect on foot.

But I never expected to encounter bullying in the bustling Luohua Street.

With the mentality of "less is worse than more".

Gu Junming planned to turn a blind eye.

In fact, Gu Junming is not as courageous and upright as Xiao Jianxin, and it has nothing to do with him.

He didn't want to stay any longer.

But it happened that in that quick glance, he saw Xi Zhaozhao being picked up like a chicken.

His little junior sister was being held in someone's hands like a poultry, and Gu Junming happened to see it.

How could he leave with peace of mind?

Under dementia.

Without knowing the truth, Gu Junming rushed forward and kicked Zi Chezhong, who was enjoying teasing Xi Zhaozhao, hard on the back of his head.

The accompanying guards were so frightened that their faces turned pale and they even threw Xi Zhaozhao out of their hands.

"I'm afraid of heights, Big Brother—"

"Don't be afraid, Zhaozhao, I'm here!"

"Hey! How dare you bully my junior sister?"

"How dare you touch my young master? I think you are too bold and impatient to live!!!"

"You can argue, but could you please move your feet away first..."

After a huge commotion.

After Zi Che Zhong's explanation, Gu Junming finally understood what had happened.

Naturally, there was an apology afterwards. Zi Che Zhongjing, who had a throbbing headache, thought Gu Junming was a real man and "kindly" invited him into the restaurant for a drink.

It can be said that if it were not for Gu Junming's sincere attitude and Xi Zhaozhao's honest performance, Zi Che Zhong would have been moved.

They had no idea who they were facing.

"Sir, I was just about to ask, this man has humiliated you so much, why don't you just cut him into pieces and send him to the afterlife?"

“It’s hard to find a soulmate, and it’s hard to find a true friend.”

"Besides, Zhao Zhao is indeed cute~"

Strong man: “…”

······

Frogs croak incessantly along the path, and the bright moon shines down with pity on the world.

An unknown amount of time had passed, but the two men, covered in dust and almost numb, stood in front of the rusty bronze door.

Just push open the bronze door in front of you and you can enter the Taiyi Gate built on Zizhu Peak.

But Bai Linglong hesitated, her raised hand hanging in the air, and she didn't dare to push the door open.

It was now late at night, and most of the disciples had already returned to their rooms to rest.

But even so, the last bit of hope in her heart still made Bai Linglong feel uneasy.

What if the senior brother hasn’t slept yet?

What if after opening the door, what you see is the serious face of the eldest brother with a hint of annoyance?

If the eldest senior brother asked why he came back so late, should he confess everything and bear his anger?

Is she...really ready?

Think of this.

Bai Linglong felt depressed again.

This was the first time she encountered such a thing when she brought her disciples down the mountain. She felt guilty towards Zhao Zhao and also ashamed of the trust her senior brothers and sisters had placed in her.

This had never happened before when the senior brother was in charge of them.

It was her fault for not taking good care of her that she lost her well-behaved and sensible little junior sister. All of this... was her fault.

The junior sister who always likes to cause trouble to others and makes the whole sect uneasy.

For the first time, I felt the helplessness of being an elder.

I also began to understand a little bit the hardships that Gu Junming had gone through in raising them...

"Junior sister."

Bai Linglong raised her head absentmindedly, her delicate face already moistened under the soft moonlight.

Seeing this, Yan Chichun walked straight to her, stretched out his right hand, placed it on the cold bronze door, turned around and showed a reassuring smile:

"We have to face it."

"This time, Senior Sister will accompany you."

squeak-

The door was opened from the inside.

Bai Linglong's eyelashes trembled slightly. Seeing the person in front of her, she couldn't help but shudder with fear, and her voice trembled:

"Big...Big Brother."
