The top-level junior sister also wants to act weak today

"Isn't it possible? Sister Clan Leader?" Jiang Yingxue pushed Yan Chuan aside and stepped forward, her eyes full of coquettishness: "Sister, we are all just powerless humans now. What can we do..."

After saying this, she lowered her head slightly, her eyes soft as water: "Just let us go to Simon Island and meet the tribe leaders and the Elf King. Maybe we can find my brother's mother?"

Before she finished speaking, Jiang Yingxue raised her hand to wipe the corners of her eyes, and her eyes instantly became moist. Crystal tears hung on her long eyelashes, like pearls about to fall, which made people feel pity and love.

Although the leader of the Spirit Girl Clan is always fierce, she actually cannot stand women acting like spoiled brats.

Especially when she saw Jiang Yingxue leaning towards her, with her head lowered and tears in her eyes, she felt even more pity for her. At that moment, Jiang Yingxue seemed to become extremely fragile, like a little white rabbit, weak and vulnerable.

Yes, what harm can such a person bring to them?

What's more, Tianshan is their territory, and such pitiful humans are nothing but ants.

"You don't know how miserable my senior brother's childhood was."

Jiang Yingxue's voice was choked with sobs as she spoke slowly, "He's been without a mother since childhood, and his father never cared for him. He was left at home, abused and beaten by the concubines. He was starving and poorly clothed, his life worse than that of a servant. Every day, he prayed silently in his heart, hoping that he would one day find his mother. It's heartbreaking to hear about it, and it brings tears to anyone who sees it... How pitiful..."

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone looked at Yan Chuan with sympathy, especially Chu Ying and Cen Yizi. They had never known that their senior brother had such a tragic past.

Yan Chuan felt the inexplicable sympathy in his gazes, and felt a chill run down his spine, making him uncomfortable. He stared wide-eyed at Chu Ying and Cen Yizi's faces, filled with sympathy, wishing he could find a hole to crawl into.

He looked at Jiang Yingxue. Although tears were still in her eyes, her expression clearly showed that she was enjoying a good show.

No wonder everyone in the capital praised her endlessly, saying she was well-behaved, sensible, and lovable. Today, he finally saw it. Miss Jiang's acting skills were truly remarkable. Even tears flowed without warning...

"Big Brother!" Chu Ying bit her lip, sympathy evident in her eyes. "I never thought you had such a miserable life. Although my mother passed away early, I didn't expect that not only would you be abandoned by her, but your father wouldn't love you either, and you would be tortured—"

Cen Yizi hurried over, covered Chu Ying's mouth with his hand, and whispered to her, "Let's stop talking. The eldest brother has suffered enough, so let's not rub salt into his wounds."

Yan Chuan:......

The corners of Yan Chuan's mouth twitched, and he wished he could turn into a gust of wind and fly away. His expression instantly became subtle.

Although what Jiang Yingxue said was true, when everyone looked at him like this, he always felt that something was wrong...

Hmm...I can’t really say.

Seeing this, the clan leader finally sighed and nodded: "Alright, this little girl has a point. You can't even use your spiritual power in my territory, so I don't think you can make any waves. As for you..."

After saying this, the Spirit Woman Clan leader looked at Yan Chuan again and said, "I'm very sure that you have elven blood in you. In view of your good attitude and the fact that you rescued Yan'er, I will report the situation to the Elf King. As for whether you can land on the island during tomorrow's ceremony, it depends on whether she agrees. Let's put today's matter aside for now. If the Elf King agrees for you to land on the island, I will naturally come to inform you."

"But--"

Without waiting for anyone around him to question him, the patriarch immediately waved his hand, indicating that the topic had ended there, as if he didn't want to talk any more.

After saying this, the patriarch waved his sleeves and left with everyone.

Watching the patriarch's departing back, everyone breathed a sigh of relief, especially the woman's family, the burden on their chests was finally relieved.

The woman patted her chest and said, "I was really scared. I have lived for decades and have never dared to disobey the clan leader. I almost thought I would be punished."

Yan'er also quickly stood up from the ground and rushed to Jiang Yingxue's side: "That's great! Judging from the tribe leader's expression, she at least agrees that you can stay for a while! I knew she would definitely agree!"

"Old man?" Chu Ying frowned beside him. "Are you talking about your clan leader?"

"Yes, the tribe leader is more than two hundred years old. And I didn't expect that Master Yan is from our elf tribe... Oh, forget it, let's not talk about this for now. You can stay at my house tonight." After saying that, Xu Yan'er welcomed everyone in.

Because of limited room availability, Yan Chuan and Cen Yizi had to sleep on the floor that night.

The bed was simple, covered with a rough wool blanket that rustled with every movement.

Cen Yizi had already fallen asleep, and his breathing gradually became steady and heavy, but for Yan Chuan, tonight was destined to be a sleepless night.

As the night deepened, it became quiet and silent outside, as if all the noise was swallowed up by the darkness.

Finally, Yan Chuan couldn't help it. He gently lifted the blanket, got up quietly, and walked out.

The yard was paved with a gravel path. Yan Chuan walked a few steps along the path, came to the stone bench in the yard, and sat down.

Yan Chuan looked up and gazed at the bright stars.

It's really strange here. When you come in from the outside, it's clearly filled with snow and fog, with glaciers stretching for miles. But when you get inside, you can clearly see the blue sky, white clouds, and the vast stars.

Of course, what's even stranger is myself.

Having lived for twenty years, Yan Chuan never thought that he would have anything to do with elves.

Those people said he was an unwanted wild child, a bastard, a lowly embryo. At first, he was unwilling to accept it, but over time, he began to get used to it. He got used to the days of being unloved, despised, and abused.

But just when he was about to get used to it, he was told that he had elven blood. If he could really land on the island tomorrow, would his biological mother be there?

Do you want to ask yourself why they abandoned you and let you suffer from the criticism of others?

Was she forced to leave?

But if I really ask, wouldn’t that be humiliating myself?

"I'm just a wild child..." Yan Chuan muttered to himself, his voice so low that it was almost inaudible: "Don't expect too much, don't expect too much..."

Suddenly, there were light footsteps in the yard. Yan Chuan turned his head sharply and saw Jiang Yingxue walking towards him.

Her figure appeared particularly soft in the night, yet with a brightness that did not belong to this night.
