Senior brother is so awesome!

The following is the main text of the novel "{?$article_title?}" ({?$jieqi_title?}) provided by {?$jieqi_sitename?}. Please enjoy! Yang Shanshan sensed the desolation and loneliness in his words. The anger in her heart had long since vanished, not out of pity or sympathy, but because she understood. She had spent over twenty years alone; how could she not understand what he was trying to say? When she was wronged, there was no one to confide in; when she was happy, there was no one to share her joy. Yet, she had grown up healthy and strong, living a good life on her own. If it weren't for that accident that brought her here, perhaps she would have married a simple, ordinary person and lived a simple, ordinary life…

She stood up, walked behind him, patted his shoulder, and said, "If you ever have any difficulties in the future, just let me know. That way, you won't have to take advantage of others or bear too much burden alone."

Nangong Xu stiffened, and when he turned to look at her, his gaze became surprised and eager. "You don't blame me?"

Yang Shanshan looked up and smiled, her even more beautiful face under the moonlight seemed to be illuminated by a halo. "No one is perfect. Although I don't know why you did this, you must have your reasons. If you have any difficulties in the future, just tell me. I am a magnanimous person and will help you if I can!"

He chuckled, swatted her hand off his shoulder with his fan, and glanced at her sideways, saying, "Help me? Heh, you'd better take care of yourself first. You've messed with someone like Zhong Zhichen, and you still want to flirt with other women? You won't escape."

Upon hearing this, Yang Shanshan's once spirited eyebrows drooped. "Can't you just not mention him?"

"I'm just giving you a friendly reminder. How could a cruel and tyrannical prince change because of you? If you continue to stay with your second senior brother without repentance, he will destroy you and destroy the Azure Dragon Kingdom. In any case, his ambition to dominate the world has been going on for a long time."

She froze, then looked up and laughed. Once her second senior brother had resolved the matter of the Azure Dragon Kingdom, they could roam the martial world freely. She didn't believe that Zhong Zhichen could chase her to the ends of the earth in this ancient time with underdeveloped transportation and communication.

Seeing her cheerful expression and her bright eyes gazing into the distance as if she were filled with longing, Nangong Xu couldn't help but smile bitterly to himself. No matter what, the person who could make her like this wouldn't be him.

Night had fallen, and Yang Shanshan realized at some point that she was all alone in the courtyard. Her third senior brother, who had been fanning himself, had quietly disappeared. Heh, how rude of him.

Time flies, and the days pass by. She was not used to the calm and peaceful days. At noon, she followed her master to practice martial arts and found that her potential was being developed little by little. From her master's calm but admiring gaze, she saw her own growth. After seven days, she was able to use her lightness skill to jump on the leaves. Her master said that she had not yet fully grasped the essence of lightness skill. Being able to advance to this level was already amazing.

To her surprise, Zhong Zhichen, who had been haunting her, had not reappeared. The three-day investigation period had passed, but there was nothing unusual. When she asked her master, he just smiled thoughtfully. She told herself that she was not thinking of him for no reason, but this matter was caused by her, which led to the loss of the Landscape Map. Although it was a setup, it was still related to her.

Every afternoon, she would go to her second senior brother's place to bother him, ostensibly to foster their relationship. One day, after leaving her master's place, she went straight to Tingyun Pavilion for a free meal. Unexpectedly, she saw her second senior brother discussing something with her fourth and fifth senior brothers. Everyone's expressions were a bit strange when they saw her. When she asked her second senior brother, he simply changed the subject.

From then on, Yang Shanshan was reluctant to see him. She thought to herself, shouldn't two people in a relationship be honest with each other? Why didn't he tell her? So she decided not to go to him and wanted to see if he would come to apologize!

She was very confident for the first few days, but then she became depressed and would often sit on the table in a daze. Even Sui Xin noticed that something was wrong with her.

Another afternoon, Yang Shanshan chose a quiet spot on the mountain and sat cross-legged to meditate. Her master said that meditation could calm the mind and spirit. Since she couldn't bring herself to go to him, she would find a way to kill time herself.

She closed her eyes, trying to quiet her mind and ears. The leaves rustled softly, and birdsong occasionally filled the air. In less than half an hour, she entered a meditative state. Perhaps because she had been thinking too much, the things she saw in her mind after entering meditation were somewhat strange. It seemed to be a magnificent palace, resplendent in gold and jade. As she wondered where she was, she suddenly found herself in another unfamiliar room. The room was decorated with exquisite splendor, and the floor was paved with colorful glazed tiles. Looking up, she saw that even the beams were glittering with gold. From the dressing table in the room, she could tell that the owner of the room was definitely a woman. Yang Shanshan was curious. She was sure she had never been to this place before, but why did she have such a strong sense of familiarity? It was as if she had spent the rest of her life here.

She heard muffled sobs nearby. Following the sound, she discovered it came from a richly dressed man. The glittering gold on his robes dazzled her eyes, and the five-clawed golden dragon on the hem seemed about to leap out. Yang Shanshan froze, unable to move, as if the dragon robe were made by her own hand, every stitch intimately familiar. Suddenly, her heart ached so much she could hardly breathe…

The man seemed to sense someone behind him and slowly turned around. Yang Shanshan watched his face turn little by little. Her heart ached more and more...

She suddenly opened her eyes and saw the fourth brother's concerned face. His handsome face was completely devoid of his usual roguishness, filled only with worry. At this moment, the pain in Yang Shanshan's chest gradually disappeared, and she was finally able to breathe smoothly. The suffocating feeling she had just experienced was truly painful. But who was that person? Why did seeing him cause her heartache?

Suddenly, her face stung with pain. She touched her cheek, which she dared not touch, and turned around, glaring angrily, yelling, "Why did you hit me!"

Situ Ze breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that she was alright, and plopped down on the ground without any regard for his image, saying, "Finally, she's alright. It's good that she's alright."

Yang Shanshan stepped forward and stomped on his ankle, her eyebrows furrowed as she shouted, "Do you think I'm stupid? You think you can just hit me whenever you want?"

"Hmph, just as expected, the dog bites Lü Dongbin. If I hadn't saved you just now, you would have gone mad by now! Master, really, your disciples are getting worse and worse... Hey! You broke my leg!" He grimaced and muttered, crying out in pain.
