Shang Lu suddenly spoke to his junior brother who was holding his hand.

"Bai Shao, do you know that I was once engaged to Yun Lian... who is also the young sect leader?"

The spirited young man rolled his eyes and replied dismissively, "Oh, right, you two were engaged, but you later insisted on having the engagement nullified."

Bai Shao's voice suddenly became cheeky, and her eyes formed crescent moons.

"It's a pity. Now that Senior Sister's cultivation is so high, even the former sect leader is like a dog in her hands, only able to be led around."

You, who still need the sect leader's guidance in cultivation, are no longer worthy of the senior sister!

Haha, the young sect leader doesn't want you anymore~

Shang Lu disagreed with staring at Bai Shao.

He used to enjoy joining in the fun in front of Yun Lian, and because Yun Lian liked peonies, he even secretly changed his name to Bai Shao (White Peony) without her permission.

The pokeweed was on high alert.

"That was because I misunderstood Yun Lian before. I believe that as long as I am willing to humble myself, Yun Lian will definitely come back to my side."

Bai Shao abruptly pulled her hand away from his and vigorously rubbed it on her body as if she had touched something dirty.

Pu Xinnan!

"Yes, yes, yes, then good luck! I'm going back to cultivate now."

He hasn't watered the flowers yet. Senior sister loves peonies the most. If she comes back and sees that the pot of peonies she casually gave her has now become a whole mountain, I wonder if she will be happy.

*

Now that the truth has come to light, the original owner has avenged her great grudge, Yunyi has been destroyed, and Tang Ling'er is surrounded by intertwined red and black energies.

Yun Lian relaxed.

He wandered around the Moon Shadow Sect, remaining hidden.

Moon Shadow Sect is the largest of the four major sects.

In my childhood, I vaguely remembered that the Moon Shadow Sect was the head of the four major sects.

However, after the original owner's mother disappeared, the Moon Shadow Sect declined rapidly. If it weren't for the fact that it occupied the largest area, had countless books and cultivation techniques, and left behind countless defensive formations, it would have been lost.

Perhaps the Moon Shadow Sect has already been squeezed out of the four major sects and divided up.

From afar, Yun Lian saw a dazzling red patch on the back mountain peak. The peony petals were arranged in layers, like a thousand-petaled chrysanthemum, with abundant flowers and leaves, extremely beautiful.

A gentle breeze blows, like flower fairies dancing in the wind; just observing the trembling of the branches can bring a sense of healing that reaches the soul.

Yun Lian lay among the flowers, inhaling the delicate and refreshing fragrance in the air, and happily closed her eyes, enjoying the rustling of the leaves in the wind.

She really loves peonies.

She only vaguely remembered that there was someone very important who once gave her a pot of peonies, and she has never forgotten it since.

Bai Shao, having rid herself of the annoying senior brother, happily watered the plants with a watering can and a storage bag full of water.

The peony flower symbolizes longing.

If longing could be spoken, his longing would surely be deafening.

But he was a coward; he used to only dare to follow his senior sister from a distance.

It is still the same now.

He didn't even dare let his senior sister know about his existence.

He was afraid that if his senior sister saw him, she would be reminded of those painful past experiences.

So when his senior sister appeared, he noticed her almost instantly, but he only dared to cover his mouth and secretly follow her from a distance.

As soon as she returned to the Moon Shadow Sect, she headed straight for her senior brother's courtyard.

Clutching his chest, he endured the excruciating pain of a hundred ants gnawing at his heart.

Fortunately, the senior sister didn't stay in the senior brother's courtyard for too long. He was like a reptile that had lived in darkness for a long time and was seeing a ray of light for the first time, greedily following the light that had illuminated him since childhood.

Watching my senior sister display her skills and strip the sect leader of his cultivation, who was a beast in human form.

At that moment, the image of the senior sister overlapped with that of the unruly and enormous senior sister from her childhood.

Bai Shao carefully watered the flowers, a smile playing on her lips.

Do you think she'll like you two?

The gentleness in Bai Shao's eyes could almost drown anything.

"Even if she doesn't like it, it's okay. The red of the mountains and fields is worth it as long as it stays in her eyes for even a second."

My senior sister also glanced at him briefly today.

He was satisfied.

The moment Yun Lian heard the footsteps, she opened her eyes.

They concealed themselves.

She recognized the person watering the flowers as the boy who had excitedly met her gaze in the crowd that evening, and raised an eyebrow.

A shy yet bold boy is indeed a good match for these dazzling and dreamlike peonies.

He was almost a chatterbox, able to say something about almost every peony.

And where she lay was the largest and best-blooming peony in the entire peony bush.

Almost as soon as the boy stepped into the peony garden, the peony seemed to come alive and trembled with excitement.

The closed flower buds burst open one after another, like a young girl wanting to show her best side to the most important person.

It seems to have developed sentience?

In the cultivation world, very few flowers can develop sentience; they are all rare treasures.

Moreover, this is just an ordinary peony. If it were to develop sentience, it would require a great deal of resources and love.

Yun Lian shook her head.

It's her fault for being too relaxed; she even had such unrealistic thoughts.

Seeing that the boy was about to water the row of peonies, Yun Lian stretched and quietly left the peony bushes that covered the mountains and fields.

Where she couldn't see, the peonies that had been blooming all over the mountains had all closed their buds and were drooping their branches.

Bai Shao walked to the largest peony plant and, as usual, took out a pile of top-grade spirit stones and placed them beside it.

Touching the sturdy branches of the peony, she murmured, "Strange, why do you seem to be in a bad mood today?"

It was running perfectly fine just now, what's wrong, don't you like today's spiritual spring water?

Don't be angry, I'll bring you something nice next time.

The peony didn't give him any reaction; even its branches and leaves curled up, remaining motionless in the wind.
