"It's nothing." Ye Liang smiled, but didn't want to say what he had just been thinking.

However, seeing his senior sister looking at him with such concern and a hint of inquiry, Ye Liangcai scratched his head slightly embarrassedly and said, "I was thinking, if I were Wei Shiwu, what would I do? Then I realized that I need to cultivate even harder in the future to increase my strength. Otherwise, I'll end up in the same tragic situation as Wei Shiwu. When faced with bandits surrounding the mountain, he wanted his senior sister to be safe, but his initial thought wasn't how to repel the bandits. Instead, he angrily urged his senior sister to abandon the mountain gate and hide in the mountains. This shows that he initially assumed the bandits were invincible. Perhaps it's because of different experiences. My life has been smooth sailing; I haven't encountered many setbacks." I've experienced too few situations like this, so I don't fully grasp the implications. However, seeing Wei Shiwu's predicament this time taught me a valuable lesson: one must plan ahead and accumulate strength. Otherwise, one might fall into Wei Shiwu's predicament. However, it's not entirely the difference in strength and status that led me to make such a completely different decision. My personality also plays a role. I've considered that even if I had nothing and were Wei Shiwu, I wouldn't make the same choice. That's my nature; when faced with a powerful and seemingly invincible enemy, I will find a way to defeat them, rather than believing they are invincible before even engaging in the battle.

"Ugh, Ye Liang, you make it sound like you have such a strong personality. What personality do you have? Have you forgotten how your legs were shaking the first time you encountered the wild boar? You're just useless." The junior sister laughed, not believing Ye Liang's story.

The junior sister was really used to Ye Liang teasing her. She joked and teased her junior brother without paying attention to boundaries, which made the second senior sister laugh and say, "Junior sister, you're too harsh. Junior brother is talking to us nicely. Don't tease him."

"But in the end, didn't he also choose not to run away? Instead, he still came back with the branch, knowing full well that he had no strength and hadn't opened his meridians, yet he still chose to come back to rescue Junior Sister, to live and die with her, facing the wild boar's attack, didn't he? And later, even though Junior Brother had no strength, he volunteered to go to the back mountain for training. You all saw how much he achieved during that training. I don't need to say more, right? So, I think what Junior Brother said about him is indeed that kind of person. Think about it, why did he go up the mountain for training? Wasn't it to quickly increase his strength so he could protect us, protect the sect? Which of his statements was exaggerated?" Senior Sister Qi Xue, however, seriously stated that she felt Ye Liang's words were entirely true.

They are all reliable.

"Senior sister, I was just joking with Ye Liang. I've been through thick and thin with Ye Liang several times, I know what kind of person he is. How could I think of him like that? I was just teasing him." The junior sister was afraid that the senior sister would misunderstand, so she quickly stepped forward to explain.

The second senior sister also said with a slight sense of self-reproach, "It's my fault too, I also quarreled with junior brother. Junior brother, please don't take it to heart. Anyway, it's all the fault of the second senior sister."

These words left Ye Liang slightly confused, and he replied, "I know you guys are just joking with me, so I didn't take it to heart at all."

Senior Sister Qi Xue shook her head slightly and said, "I didn't mean to blame you. I just wanted to say that Junior Brother is indeed that kind of person. He's the kind of person who faces difficulties head-on. Whether the opponent is a wild boar or a wolf king, he will face it."

"Ye Liang, your senior sister praised you. Hurry up and thank her." The junior sister winked at him and teased Ye Liang again.

Ye Liang was speechless and said, "Stop making a fuss. Stop. Senior Sister and Second Senior Sister are tired, let them go back and rest. Junior Sister, you should go and rest too. I'll guard the mountain gate here."

"That's right. Senior Sister, Second Senior Sister, you two go and rest. Ye Liang, my little deer, and I will guard the mountain gate. Don't worry, Senior Sister, with Ye Liang here, everything will be fine. He's a formidable fighter. I think even if bandits come, they won't be a match for him." The junior sister said these optimistic things to reassure her two senior sisters so they could rest. At the same time, this also indicated that she wouldn't go off to play; she would stay and guard the Bixian Sect with Ye Liang.

"Thank you for your trouble, junior brothers and sisters. Please be careful. If anything happens, shout loudly immediately, and we will come to your aid right away." The eldest senior sister knew that her junior brothers and sisters felt sorry for her and could not refuse their kindness, so she could only go back to rest.

This was also to conserve energy for Ye Liang's planned operation that night.

Nighttime is when life and death truly lie ahead, and she wants to ensure she has enough strength and energy to focus on protecting her junior brothers and sisters before she's willing to rest.

"Junior sister, let's go." The eldest sister didn't forget to call on her second junior sister, who was just as tired as she was, so they could go back and rest together.

Only after the eldest senior sister called could the second senior sister finally go back to rest in peace. However, before leaving, she still instructed Ye Liang and the junior sister: "These past two days, when we were on duty, the eldest senior sister always took the most difficult shifts, leaving me with the easier ones, so I wasn't that tired. I'll just rest for a while when I get back. It's time to cook lunch, junior sister, come and wake me up. I'll make you something delicious. I'm afraid I'll oversleep and forget to make lunch for you."

"Okay, okay, Second Senior Sister, you should go and rest with Eldest Senior Sister. I'll definitely call you to cook lunch for us." The Junior Sister giggled and urged them to hurry away.

The two senior sisters then went down to the mountain gate to rest, turning back every few steps.

"Junior Sister, you should go and rest too. I can manage on my own here. You've worked hard too." Ye Liang felt a pang of sympathy for his much younger junior sister, who had been traveling with him for the past two days and had also worked hard, so he urged her to rest.

The junior sister smiled and said, "Ye Liang, what do you want to eat for lunch? I'll go prepare it for you. Senior sister is too tired, so I won't wake her up to cook for us at noon. I'll cook it myself. When it's done, I'll call you all to eat together. Don't complain that my cooking isn't as good as Second Senior Sister's, okay? Otherwise, I'll be unhappy, and if I'm unhappy, I'll come and grab you and cause you trouble."

These words were both endearing and touching. Ye Liang suddenly remembered that he still had a river fish he had caught while training on the mountain in his Qiankun bag.

He immediately took it out and said to his junior sister, "Junior sister, this is the fish I caught by the river when we were hunting the wild boar king. Junior sister, please cook fish for me for lunch."

"Alright. You glutton, all you can think about is eating fish." The junior sister laughed, teasing Ye Liang for being a glutton who only wanted to eat fish to satisfy his cravings. But she was happy to take the fish Ye Liang had just taken out, picked it up, and prepared to take it back to prepare it.

The fish was caught yesterday, and it's still lively and jumping around.
