Pei Su said: "Uncle didn't come. He said that he would appear when you want to see him."

Zhuge Youlin nodded awkwardly.

"Yulin." Jiang Xianyue looked up at him. The moment their eyes met, she smiled and said, "Based on age, I should be your cousin."

Zhuge Youlin frowned as he listened, "What are you talking about? I don't understand."

Jiang Xianyue felt a tightness and pain in her chest. She forced a smile and said calmly, "Qian Ling, whose real name is Hai Ling, is my mother's older brother. So, we are cousins."

“…You’re my cousin.”

After saying the last sentence, her heart felt like it was being cut by a knife and it hurt so much.

The little joy in Zhuge Youlin's heart was completely shattered by her words.

He froze in place, his pupils shrank slightly, his face full of disbelief.

Then, he seemed to come to his senses, shook his head repeatedly, and said anxiously, "Impossible! How could we be cousins? Yueyue, are you kidding me? This is not funny at all."

"It's true." Jiang Xianyue suppressed her smile.

Zhuge Youlin looked at Chen Yan and the others, but the expressions of Chen Yan and the others had already proved everything.

The boy clenched his fists suddenly, and his eyes turned red instantly.

He hesitated to speak, but didn't utter a word.

He and Yueyue are cousins...

How did things turn out like this?

He originally still had a little hope, but now even that last hope is going to be shattered?

Chen Yan spoke with difficulty, "Yulin, now that things have come to this, try to accept it."

The friends all knew what happened between the two of them, so they didn't know how to comfort them.

They almost became lovers, but now they are just siblings.

This is indeed a huge blow.

Wen Yuchu patted his shoulder silently.

"I understand." Zhuge Youlin forced a smile. He looked at Jiang Xianyue and joked, "Yueyue, don't even think about asking me to call you sister."

"No need to shout." Jiang Xianyue said.

The two looked at each other, but neither could hold their gaze for a second before looking away.

Because they are afraid of losing control of their emotions.

Xiao Zechuan said at the right moment: "Next we still have to continue to practice well in the Ten Directions Ancient Ruins, so we all have to adjust our mindsets."

"... Yeah, I understand." Zhuge Youlin didn't feel any joy in his heart. He said in a difficult tone, "I will have a good talk with him before I start practicing. Don't worry."

Chen Yan and the others looked at him.

He smiled, but this time it was relatively natural.

…

In the lobby.

"Why haven't I heard you mention before that Mermaid Hai is really your biological sister?" Hua Meng asked Qian Ling, who looked pale.

Qian Ling said slowly: "We met relatively late. Before I met you, I had already told my master about my background."

After a pause, he seemed to recall the past, "Hai is really my sister, but not my biological sister."

"What do you mean?" Hua Meng frowned slightly.

"I'm the adopted one." Qian Ling lowered her eyes. "My biological parents died long ago because of the Black Water. And I am their orphan. The person who adopted me was Hai Zhen's mother. She was a good friend of my biological parents..."

"So, that's why you hate black water so much?" Hua Meng's eyes were filled with heartache.

Qian Ling said softly but firmly, "Well, I will definitely not let Black Water harm more lives and bring disaster to more families."

Hua Meng comforted him, "Don't worry, the black water will be eradicated one day."

Qian Ling raised his head and looked at her, "Do you still want to return to your master?"

Hua Meng hesitated for a moment after hearing this.

Then, she shook her head gently. "I don't want to rely on her anymore. I want to be someone she can rely on. Maybe this is what growing up is."

She naturally wanted to return to her master.

But……

"And you?"

Qian Ling chuckled, feeling genuinely happy for Chen Yan, "She already has a group of companions around her."

"Yes." Hua Meng's eyes were slightly red. The people who had been by her side were her, Qian Ling, Xiao Qi, Xiao Tuanzi, and Xiao Tianzhou...

Over thirty thousand years, a lot of things can change.

Qianling sensed Huameng's emotions and comforted her softly, "Huahua, the friendship and bond between us will never be broken. We should be happy for our master. At least she is not alone during this time without us."

When Hua Meng heard this, she raised her fingers and gently wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes, revealing a genuine smile.

"That's right."

"As long as she's happy, that's all that matters."

…

That night.

Zhuge Youlin personally went to find Qian Ling.

The two chatted a lot and resolved the misunderstandings of that year.

As we were chatting, the topic changed again.

After a long silence, Zhuge Youlin looked at Qian Ling, "Is Jiang Xianyue really my cousin? Could you have recognized the wrong person?"

Qian Ling was stunned when he heard this.

He didn't notice Zhuge Youlin's emotions and replied, "I didn't recognize the wrong person. She is your cousin."

Zhuge Youlin's heart sank suddenly.

Qian Ling said slowly, "You two are truly destined to be together. From now on, you must take care of each other. Although you are the younger brother, you must protect Xianyue. Also, you must do whatever the master says. She is always right."

Upon hearing this, Zhuge Youlin's face turned dark.

"Am I a little servant to both of them?"

Qian Ling was stunned again. When he came to his senses, he said, "I shouldn't have interfered with your relationship, Youlin. I'm sorry."
