High in the sky, a large and magnificent ship sped through the wind.

Inside the small building on the boat, Lu Ziling, Su Ningyan, and Ning Wan'er sat around a low camphor wood tea table in the middle.

"Three years have passed in the blink of an eye. I wonder how my senior brother is doing now..."

Su Ningyan whispered with her eyelids lowered.

“Cultivation is the foundation of spiritual cultivation. If you lose your cultivation, I'm afraid your days won't be easy…”

Lu Ziling's brows furrowed with worry, and a forced smile appeared at the corner of her eyes as she said, "However, I often hear my senior brother say that his family is very good, and his fiancée is very gentle, kind, and understanding. I suppose he must be married and have children by now."

Upon hearing the last sentence, Ning Wan'er's delicate body trembled slightly, and she remained silent.

"That's alright, but what I'm afraid of is..."

Su Ningyan hesitated, as if she wanted to say something but then stopped.

Lu Ziling and Ning Wan'er both knew what Su Ningyan was worried about, and in their heavy hearts, they also made a kind of preparedness.

"Senior Sister Su, there's nothing to be afraid of. If Senior Brother's fiancée dislikes him and doesn't want to marry him, then Wan'er will marry Senior Brother!"

Ning Wan'er said with a determined look.

"Wan'er, I know you feel guilty towards your senior brother, but you can't sacrifice yourself like this."

Su Ningyan looked at Ning Wan'er with a pang of heartache.

"Senior sister, it's not a sacrifice!"

Ning Wan'er denied it earnestly, her eyes revealing a tender look full of genuine affection: "Wan'er has always liked Senior Brother, but I don't know what disturbed my mind, which led me to do something that hurt Senior Brother... In fact, Wan'er was very happy at heart. If I hadn't lost my mind at the time, even if Senior Brother had taken my virginity, Wan'er would have been willing. So Wan'er made this decision entirely from the bottom of her heart, and it was definitely not because of any guilt!"

"Wan'er has made up her mind. Regardless of whether Senior Brother is married or not, Wan'er will be his woman! If he is not married, I will marry him. If he is married, I will be his concubine. As long as I can be with Senior Brother, Wan'er is willing to do anything!"

Hearing this, Lu Ziling's heart trembled slightly, and a complex emotion appeared in her eyes. She felt the same way, and had even prepared herself to sacrifice herself in hopes of winning back her senior brother's heart. But what about her junior sister...?

Su Ningyan was also in a state of confusion. She had always harbored feelings for her senior brother. After what happened three years ago, she had been feeling guilty and had been nurturing her feelings for three years. Now she was ready to go all out, but if Wan'er took the first step, how would she cope?

...

Jintian City, the main hall of the front courtyard of the Chi residence.

Lu Ziling and the other two women waited anxiously.

"Senior Sister Lu, what if Senior Brother doesn't want to see us...?"

Ning Wan'er stood timidly behind Lu Ziling, tugged at Lu Ziling's sleeve, and said in a worried voice.

Lu Ziling wasn't sure about this either, so she could only comfort him by saying, "Three years have passed. Senior Brother should... should have gotten over a lot of his resentment. I think he will see us. After all, we are his beloved junior sisters."

"Yes! Senior brother is so broad-minded, he won't hold a grudge forever."

Su Ningyan echoed.

"Then...will Senior Brother forgive us?"

Ning Wan'er lowered her head worriedly, both hoping to see her senior brother and fearing that he would completely treat her as a stranger and not even give her a chance to make amends.

"this……"

How could Lu Ziling say for sure? She smiled bitterly and said, "Whether or not our senior brother forgives us, we must do our best to win his forgiveness. We must also tell him why we haven't come to see him for the past three years. We must not let him misunderstand that we have no intention of winning him back."

Su Ningyan nodded in agreement, saying, "Senior sister is right. It's all up to us. We caused Senior Brother so much harm, so it's understandable that he doesn't forgive us. We can't just rely on Senior Brother's magnanimity; we must also be prepared to spend a long time healing the wounds in his heart. Only in this way can we have the greatest chance of winning him back!"

Ning Wan'er nodded emphatically, her anxiety easing considerably. She had already made up her mind: if her senior brother didn't forgive her, she would stay at the Chi residence and refuse to leave. She would cry or make a scene, or even become her senior brother's maidservant. In short, she was determined to make her senior brother accept her!

Once the deed is done, she doesn't believe she can't resolve the resentment in her senior brother's heart!

At this moment.

Three people walked in through the entrance of the hall: Chi Lilin and his wife, Lin Huixin, and their son, Chi Yang.

"The presence of three celestial maidens is an honor to my humble abode."

Chi Li smiled and bowed as he stepped forward, then introduced them to each other: "I am Chi Li, the head of the Chi family. This is my wife, Lin Shi, and this is my son, Chi Yang."

"I am Lu Ziling, a disciple of Tianyue Peak of Shenxiao Sect, and the second junior sister of Senior Brother Chi. I am honored to meet Uncle Chi, Aunt Lin, and Young Master Chi."

Lu Ziling stepped forward gracefully and greeted them with great courtesy.

Su Ningyan and Ning Wan'er also paid their respects in turn.

"So you are disciples of the Divine Firmament Sect. May I ask what brings you three fairies to my Chi family?"

Chi Li asked the three women a question while inviting them to sit down.

"Uncle Chi, we have come here to see Senior Brother Chi Yuan. Would you be so kind as to ask him to come out and meet us?"

The three women took their seats one after another, and Lu Ziling spoke in a clear and gentle voice.

"this……"

Chi Li, Lin Huixin, and Chi Yang exchanged a glance, their faces showing reluctance.

Seeing this, Lu Ziling became slightly anxious and hurriedly said, "Uncle Chi, I know that some things are already difficult to undo, but we are, after all, fellow disciples of Senior Brother Chi. I hope you can give us a chance to make amends."

"Reconcile?"

Chi Li looked doubtful and shook his head, saying, "Fairy Lu, it's not that I don't want you to see him, but I expelled him from my family three years ago, and I don't know where he is now."

"What...what did you say? You're being kicked out of the house?!"

These words struck the three women like a bolt from the blue, and Lu Ziling immediately stood up in shock.

Su Ningyan and Ning Wan'er stood up in shock, looking at Chi Li in disbelief. They had considered all sorts of possibilities after Chi Yuan returned home, but they never expected that Chi Yuan would be kicked out of the house!

The three women's breathing quickened immediately. Ning Wan'er, her eyes reddening, said, "Uncle Chi, how could you expel Senior Brother Chi from the family?"

Chi Li's expression grew even more suspicious. After a moment of contemplation, he said, "This kid not only disgraced the family by committing such a disgraceful act as disrespecting my junior sister, but he is also stubborn and refuses to admit his mistake. As the head of the family, I naturally have to punish him severely to uphold the family's honor."

"No... Uncle Chi, my senior brother didn't blaspheme me, you've misunderstood him..."

Ning Wan'er's cheeks were wet with tears as she sobbed uncontrollably.

"What did you say?!"

Lin Huixin trembled and suddenly rushed to Ning Wan'er's side, grabbing her arm and asking urgently, "Yuan'er... Yuan'er was wronged?"

"Um... I am the junior sister Uncle Chi mentioned. My senior brother is truly innocent; he didn't do anything to hurt me..."

As Ning Wan'er spoke, she felt increasingly suffocated, as if her heart was being torn apart, the pain almost causing her to faint.

Senior brother... Wan'er truly deserves to die!
