“You…” Xi Yun looked stunned, and was furious at Xiao Yun’er’s smug look.

But you can't win an argument with them.

"Hmph, I won't argue with a child."

"Who said I'm a child? I've lived for who knows how long. You're the child!" Xiao Yun'er's childish voice rang out, full of determination to fight to the end.

Xi Yun wanted to continue arguing, but then she suddenly thought of a good idea. She hugged Sui Xin tightly and said calmly, "It's so comfortable to carry Sui Xin. It's a pity that some people can't understand it."

While talking, she didn't forget to give Suixin a kiss.

Xiao Yun frowned, glanced at Xi Yun, then looked at Sui Xin, and said pitifully, "Sui Xin, I want one too."

Sui Xin immediately realized something was wrong, but then smiled apologetically and said, "Haha, Yun'er isn't feeling well, I'll carry you next time."

"Hehe," Xi Yun couldn't help but chuckle, touching Sui Xin's cheek and saying in a cheeky tone, "Hmm~, it's so comfortable to carry Sui Xin on her back, it's just like lying in bed, so warm."

They finally managed to turn the tide.

Xiao Yun didn't speak, she was breathing heavily, and it felt like her eyes were about to spit fire.

Looking at the scene before him, the man above couldn't help but laugh.

Remembering that there was still important business to be done, he flew to the three of them and said, "Alright, alright, let's get down to business first."

Hearing the man's voice, Sui Xin finally breathed a sigh of relief; who knew what would happen if they continued arguing.

"Senior, you..." Sui Xin was about to ask the man's identity when he interrupted her.

"Call me Fifth Brother," he said, glancing at Xi Yun again, "and you call me Fifth Brother too."

"Huh?" Sui Xin was dumbfounded.

What does this mean? He immediately recognized someone as his brother without my knowledge? Or did I mishear him?

Everything seems to be getting more and more complicated.

First, I arrived in this strange place for no reason, then Xiao Yun'er actually came too, and now...

Xi Yun was equally puzzled.

"You don't need to know anything else right now. Don't ask. Just do what I tell you to do," Fifth Brother said, looking at Sui Xin.

I didn't sense any malice; instead, I felt a sense of care.

Looking into his clear eyes, Sui Xin gradually lowered her guard and nodded, "Okay, Fifth Brother, was the dream you created? Did you bring me here?"

Fifth Brother shook his head, a faint smile appearing on his lips. "I brought you here, but you're dreaming because of yourself, which means it's time for us to meet."

"I called you here because there are some things I want to ask you. Only by hearing the answers in person can I think about what to do next."

Although she didn't quite understand what Fifth Brother meant, she nodded and said, "Go on."

"Why do you cultivate?"

Sui Xin was taken aback, not expecting such an old-fashioned question. Sword Elder had asked it before, but she still answered honestly, "For Yun'er."

Fifth Brother nodded slightly, as if he had expected it. "What will you do if she dies?"

“Of course I’ll go with her,” Sui Xin said calmly.

Xi Yun, perched on his back, listened quietly, for Fifth Brother's question was also a question he was asking himself.

"If someone hurts her, would you fight back?"

"certainly"

"What if she is inherently evil, and everyone has the right to kill her?"

Sui Xin subconsciously turned her head, and Xi Yun happened to be looking over as well. They smiled at each other, "I've never been a bad guy before, so what's wrong with giving it a try?"

Xi Yun stared blankly at Sui Xin, as if Sui Xin was everything to her, and her eyes were filled with nothing but him.

"Haha, very good," Fifth Brother laughed. "You mean you'll always be with her, right?"

He nodded casually.

"If you were to go to a place where survival is almost impossible, a place where you would have a very low chance of death, would you keep it from her?"

Sui Xin was taken aback, listening to Fifth Brother's words, it seemed like they were really going to that place.

If it's true, would I tell Yun'er?

He felt like there were two little people arguing inside his body.

One of the little people said that we can't tell Yun'er, otherwise she will definitely go, which would be the same as taking Yun'er to her death.

Another little person said, "Look at it from another angle. If Yun'er did this, what would I do? If Yun'er knew she was dead, she would be heartbroken."

Within his sea of ​​consciousness, the black demonic seed seemed to sense something and began to stir...

I'm so conflicted.

"And what about you? Will you tell Suixin?" Fifth Brother asked, looking at Xiyun when Suixin remained silent.

Xi Yun didn't answer, but instead looked at Sui Xin, "Why aren't you saying anything? Didn't you promise that you wouldn't hide anything from me?"

The voice was very gentle, and although the words sounded like an interrogation, there was no hint of accusation in the tone.

“I…” Sui Xin stammered, recalling the words Xi Yun had said to him when he was suffering the aftereffects of his torn primordial spirit alone, and the promise he had made to Xi Yun.

We said we'd face it together, no matter what.

But now, for some reason, I'm a little uncertain again.

At that point, I feel I really will break my promise, even though I understand the reasons, but...

Beside her, Xiaoyun felt dejected. Little did she know that Suixin loved Xiyun, not herself. She was just a little envious, envious that someone would be troubled by Xiyun.

Because I love you, I'm conflicted...

Seeing that Suixin remained silent, Xiyun felt inexplicably worried. "You want me to live a better life, but little do you know that being with you is my greatest happiness. You said it yourself, that we would be together in the afterlife, through thick and thin."

"What, are you going to abandon me again now?" Xi Yun asked coldly.

"I didn't," I casually replied, but I felt somewhat unconvinced.
