Lu Ruoshui was truly astonished. This was the first time she had ever touched such fine equipment, and now it belonged to her. How could she not be excited?

The master smiled, his eyes filled with tenderness as he reached out and patted her head, saying, "Right? How could the elder lie to you? Didn't I tell you from the first time I met him that Young Master Ye is extremely public-spirited and quite remarkable? Otherwise, how could the elder have trusted you to call him Brother Ye! To be honest, the elder was also angry that the sorceress from the evil sect had gotten to know Young Hero Ye first and called him Brother Ye first. Young Hero Ye said that the sorceress isn't inherently bad and he's willing to befriend her. I also sensed that the sorceress isn't inherently bad, but I'm still worried that Young Master Ye might be bewitched by her and go astray. So, from now on, Ruoshui, you must keep a close eye on your Brother Ye and prevent that sorceress from leading him astray and making him a member of the evil sect."

Hearing the master's words, Ye Liang, who was busy strengthening and upgrading Lu Ruoshui's equipment, smiled and said to the master, "Master, you are really overthinking it. It seems that you still don't trust my character!"

The master spoke frankly: "I trust you, young hero, but I don't trust that demoness. Women of evil sects have many tricks up their sleeves. You are young and inexperienced, so I think you should be careful and avoid being deceived by others."

Ye Liang smiled and said without further explanation, "Alright, Master, I know, I will be careful. But I dare say, Master is overthinking it. I have several senior sisters above me, and I will never betray them or leave the Bixian Sect. Therefore, your worry that I will join an evil sect is really just needless anxiety."

"It's not wrong to have one more person watching you. What do you say, young hero?" Master Chen Siyi smiled, seemingly undeterred.

Ye Liang smiled and said, "Alright then, it's nothing, I don't mind. Just don't take up Miss Ruoshui's energy."

Ye Liang's words were truly well said, leaving a deep impression on Lu Ruoshui, the successor of the Sword Pavilion. He looked at Ye Liang with new respect, thinking that Ye Liang was a rare true hero in the martial arts world, worthy of genuine admiration.

He immediately felt even more genuinely acknowledging this "Brother Ye" who had been forcibly introduced to him by the elder and asked to be recognized as Brother Ye.
