Senior brother is so awesome!

The following is the main text of the novel "{?$article_title?}" ({?$jieqi_title?}) provided by {?$jieqi_sitename?}. Please enjoy! The two strolled through the lush forest. The man, tall and slender, was dressed in a white shirt, while the woman he was holding was stunningly beautiful, with a hint of a smile in her eyes. From a distance, they looked like a perfect couple.

The second senior brother gazed into the distance, sunlight filtering through the leaves dappling his face, making his skin appear as white as jade. He said in a low voice, "Perhaps in the eyes of the world, Sanqing Mountain is an inviolable grandmaster of the martial arts world, and people in the martial arts world follow its lead. However, the reality is not so simple. For example, the eldest senior brother is actually the regent of a country, and as you said, the fourth brother is dressed in luxurious clothes. He is the second prince of the White Tiger Kingdom, one of the four great kingdoms."

The words spoken in a detached voice shocked Yang Shanshan. She had learned about this world from Sui Xin; it was completely different from the world she lived in, as if it existed in a different time and space. This world was divided into five countries. The most powerful country was the Xuanyuan Kingdom, where her senior brother resided. Its military strength was formidable, its army powerful and well-equipped, making it a clear hegemon. Surrounding the Xuanyuan Kingdom were the Vermilion Bird Kingdom, the White Tiger Kingdom, the Azure Dragon Kingdom, and the Black Tortoise Kingdom. Despite its power, the Xuanyuan Kingdom dared not claim supremacy. The five kingdoms had maintained a balance of power for three hundred years, and the people lived in peace and prosperity, with trade flowing freely between the kingdoms.

Yang Shanshan didn't speak, waiting for him to continue. Her small hand was held in his, and she felt a strange sense of peace.

After a while, the second senior brother stopped, turned around and looked directly at her, asking, "Aren't you curious about my identity?"

She smiled charmingly and said, "If Senior Brother wants to tell Chan'er, then Chan'er doesn't need to ask, right?"

He was taken aback, then chuckled. Perhaps it was because he was standing in the light, but Yang Shanshan felt that his deep eyes were sparkling, and she didn't want to look away.

The second senior brother playfully pinched her little nose, then casually led her forward, saying, "I am the Crown Prince of the Azure Dragon Kingdom." His tone was surprisingly heavy. He continued, "You already know that the third junior brother was taken in and raised by Master. As for the fifth, he is the fourth's bodyguard, and his identity is the young master of the Duke of Zhenguo of the White Tiger Kingdom. He will be the fourth's right-hand man when he ascends the throne. And the sixth, the youngest prince of the Vermilion Bird Kingdom." Seeing that the little girl was simply being led by him silently without any surprise, he smiled and said, "Why aren't you saying anything?"

Yang Shanshan raised her head and looked directly at him. "Are you unhappy with your role as Crown Prince?"

Zhu Mingquan shook his head and smiled bitterly, squeezing her hand even tighter. "In this world, not everyone has the right to decide their own affairs. Everything is just a responsibility." He was helpless.

Suddenly, she felt a pang of pain in her heart. Grabbing his hand, she said, "Since you're unhappy, let's not be some damn prince. You're a skilled doctor who helps the sick and saves lives. Wherever you go, I'll follow!" This wasn't an impulsive act. She didn't want such a refined and otherworldly man to be tainted by power struggles.

Zhu Mingquan smiled, letting go of his pent-up feelings. He pulled her into his arms and held her close, whispering above her head, "If one day we break free from these shackles, I will grant your wish."

Yang Shanshan smelled the faint medicinal scent on him, feeling happy and lingering. She had a premonition that the road ahead might be difficult, but no matter what, she would follow him and do her best to help him solve his problems.

That night, Yang Shanshan sat alone in the courtyard, watching the fireflies flitting among the grass. Their faint glow seemed interesting on the mountain where there were no streetlights. In her previous life, the city she lived in was full of skyscrapers and bustling traffic, and she was busy working all day for her meager salary. She had no time to care about such things. Unexpectedly, in the blink of an eye, the ordinary her had transmigrated to ancient times. Although she was a little uncomfortable, she never thought of going back, because there was nothing there that she missed. Here, she had someone she liked and a kind master. Even though some idle people would occasionally cause trouble, they were not evil people, so she didn't have to be afraid.

The full moon hung high in the sky, its dim light illuminating the courtyard as if it were daytime. The stunningly beautiful woman seemed like a fairy under the moon, making those in the trees afraid to breathe too loudly, lest they disturb this beautiful scene.

After a while, Yang Shanshan felt a little bored, so she said loudly, "Aren't you tired of sitting in the tree all night?"

A soft laugh rang out, and a figure gracefully landed in front of her. The person opened a fan with a flick of his wrist and stood there with an air of arrogance. "When did you notice, Junior Sister?" The person was none other than the Third Senior Brother, Nangong Xu. However, he was quite surprised by the woman's amazing senses. His lightness skill was unparalleled in the world, and only those with exceptional martial arts skills could detect him.

Yang Shanshan snorted softly, "Is this how you treat your benefactor?" She was surprised that ever since her master released her internal energy that morning, although she didn't have martial arts perception, she was extremely sensitive. She could hear the breathing of the people in the trees clearly. Perhaps, this was the wonder of internal energy.

Nangong Xu chuckled, showing no remorse whatsoever. At this moment, Yang Shanshan's feeling of being targeted by a venomous snake also faded. He said, "If you hadn't been so indecisive among your fellow disciples, I wouldn't have been able to do anything to you, would I?"

Yang Shanshan was furious and wanted to scratch his delicate skin. She shouted, "You are a despicable person. You took advantage of others and still acted as if it was your right. You, you..." She tried her best to suppress her anger. She couldn't argue with such a despicable person. Besides, her second senior brother already knew what was going on. She wasn't going to be angry!

He seemed to ignore her words, putting away his fan and placing his hands behind his back. He looked up at the bright moon, radiating a sense of desolation in the moonlight, and let out a barely audible sigh. "I didn't mean to use you, but I have my own reasons. All of my fellow disciples come from extraordinary families. From birth, they have been superior to others, able to obtain what they want without having to scheme or fight. But I..." He paused, then smiled contemptuously, "...I have always been alone. Whether I do good or bad, who would care what I think?"
