"Tianyun, I won't accept this bracelet."
Song Xiwei took half a step back and said calmly.
Tianyun's expression changed drastically. "Why? Why won't you accept it? Don't you like it? It's alright, you can accept it. It's a token anyway, you can leave it there. I'll make one you like..."
"Tianyun! I don't like you, it has nothing to do with the bracelet, so I can't accept it." Because Tianyun was a straightforward person, Song Xiwei also refused directly and without any hesitation.
Tianyun was stunned, seemingly not expecting to be rejected in public. "Is it because I'm second? Is it because I can never beat you? Is it because I'm weak?"
Tianyun asked several questions in one go.
Song Xiwei shook her head decisively, "Liking someone is an emotion, and it has little to do with whether the other person is strong or weak. I don't like you, and whether you are second or not, or whether you can beat me, has nothing to do with it."
"Then what kind do you like?" Tianyun still wouldn't give up.
Song Xiwei looked around; everyone was holding their breath, watching her and Tianyun.
I never expected that my return to my sect would turn into such a grand spectacle.
The most frequent interaction between Song Xiwei and Tianyun was fighting. They were always straightforward and direct. Song Xiwei was used to speaking in this way, and she said bluntly, "Anyway, I don't like Tianyun's style."
Tianyun snorted and asked her again, "Then what do you dislike about me? Point it out, and I can change..."
Not only was Song Xiwei surprised, but Xiao Zhuang was also so shocked that his jaw dropped.
Tianyun is a proud person, how could he change himself because of someone else?
Song Xiwei shook her head. "Everyone is a unique individual. I may not like you, but others may. That's your characteristic, something unique to you. You don't need to change your unique characteristics for someone who doesn't like you. That's not fair to yourself."
"But I want to be with you! If you don't like me, we can't be together, and I won't be happy..." Tianyun said dejectedly.
Song Xi frowned slightly. "You just want someone to fight with you every day. But there are always people more capable than you, and there's always something beyond your understanding. I'm not the only one like that."
"But I've gotten used to you already, Song Xiwei. Haven't you gotten used to me too? Or is it that you already have a new sparring partner outside, someone you're more comfortable with than me? Have you grown tired of the old and crave the new?" Tianyun looked aggrieved, as if she had been cheated on by Song Xiwei, and Song Xiwei frowned with concern.
Just as he was about to retort, the sect leader's voice rang out: "What are you all doing gathered here!"
As the sect leader's voice fell, the grandmaster, who rarely appeared in public, also arrived.
"Disciple pays respects to Grandmaster..."
Everyone knelt down and kowtowed, including Song Xiwei.
The grandmaster said calmly during a break, "Get up, all of you."
Just as Song Xiwei was about to get up, a slender hand was extended to her.
She looked in the direction of the hand and saw that her master had already walked up to her. His hand was the same one that had reached out to her countless times after she had fallen down.
Song Xiwei placed his hand in the gap between his palms; his hand was as warm as ever.
However, Grandmaster Kong had always been exceptionally lenient with his disciples and rarely lost his temper, but today he was inexplicably enraged.
His gaze fell on the jade bracelet in Tianyun's hand. "We can consider changing the next sect leader."
The grandmaster never interfered in matters of sect leadership; this was the first time he had spoken so forcefully.
As soon as he said this, the sect leader knelt down and grabbed Tianyun. Tianyun lost his balance, and the jade bracelet fell from his hand and shattered on the spot.
