The girl's address of "Big Brother" warmed everyone's hearts.

Ye Liang smiled and said, "Just call me by my name, Ye Liang. That's what my junior sister calls me too."

"You don't want to be my older brother?" The girl seemed a little sensitive, and upon hearing Ye Liang's words, her expression immediately turned hurt.

Ye Liang laughed again, "If that were really the case, I wouldn't have come here to see you with Uncle Gui before even entering the city. Lin Yan, you don't need to be so sensitive when you're with me. I don't mind your identity as a disciple of the evil sect."

These words were blunt and didn't shy away from the crux of the matter. Although they still left people with some doubt, after all, in the martial arts world, it was truly unheard of for someone to openly admit to being a disciple of an evil sect. However, since these words came from Ye Liang, the young girl Lin Yan was somewhat more inclined to believe him. This made her feel much better.

She glanced behind Ye Liang and saw that he was all alone. She asked again, somewhat puzzled, "Why are you all alone?"

If she truly didn't mind her status as a disciple of an evil sect, why didn't Ye Liang bring his master and senior sister to stay with her?

Knowing that her question stemmed from lingering doubts and suspicions about him, Ye Liang remained calm and smiled, saying, "I was just about to tell you this. We came to Songcheng to visit my junior sister. My senior sisters miss her dearly, and now that we're in Songcheng, we naturally want to stay at her house. When we met Uncle Gui at the city gate and learned that you had prepared accommodations for us, I wanted to come see you first. My senior sisters also agreed and wanted to thank you in advance. That's why I came here as soon as I entered the city."

"An excuse, I suppose." Even though Ye Liang's explanation was perfectly plausible, the young Lin Yan couldn't help but feel a pang of sadness.
