Chapter 86: Talking
Zhao Xue looked at her straight in the eyes and asked, "Senior Sister, why are you willing to take us with you?"
"Because I am your senior sister."
His next words were extremely blunt: "Is it responsibility that carries us along, or is it emotion that carries us along?"
Tao Zi frowned and looked at him.
Xi Jing moved her gaze away in dismay, and when it fell on the second senior brother, she found that he was facing the wall and reflecting on his mistakes. Of course, it was also possible that he didn't want to see the third senior brother.
The third brother was completely unaware of their actions, or rather, even if he noticed, he didn't want to stop: "Senior Sister, there's a big difference between the two, isn't it?"
"yes."
Tao Zi looked at him, ready to tear everything apart: "Zhao Xue, how long have we known each other?"
Zhao Xue was stunned for a moment. Just as she was about to speak, her senior brother turned around and covered her mouth with his hand: "Senior sister, you should go inside first. What if the poison takes effect?"
"It's not happening today, we can talk about it now."
Hearing this, he winked at Xi Jing frantically.
She looked at her senior brother in confusion. Han Yueshan winked at her again, making her eyes twitch, but Xi Jing still didn't understand.
Tao Zi sighed and said, "He asked you to take Zhao Xue away."
"Huh? Oh oh."
Xi Jing hurried forward and dragged Third Senior Brother away. Before Zhao Xue vanished, she managed to utter, "Senior Sister, you're just a responsibility to us. You've never truly trusted us, have you?"
She raised her eyebrows, and heard a bang from the side. She looked away and found that Han Yueshan was banging his head against the wall.
However, the force was well controlled, so only redness was seen, no blood was seen.
"Talk or hit the wall?"
"talk!"
Han Yueshan was completely confused as to how things could have turned out this way. His junior brother had been quite normal before. And now, how could he ask such a question after such a short time?
Oh my god, shouldn't they use love and companionship to heal the grief and pain of their senior sister's family being wiped out? Shouldn't they let her feel the warmth of the sect again after going through hardships and trials? Why is this guy actually questioning her for not showing true love?
Can't he use his pedantic head to think that after experiencing the pain of his entire family being wiped out, no normal person would really throw themselves into the embrace of another sect so quickly, okay?
Senior sister is not a playboy who is looking for a man to embrace. Besides, even a playboy would take time to savor the moment.
Tao Zi watched Han Yueshan's expression change from confusion and doubt to helplessness and then to despair. For a moment, she couldn't follow his train of thought. What was he thinking that made his expression so colorful?
"The better?"
Han Yueshan struggled out of his own world and said, "Senior Sister, I'm sorry."
"Um?"
"Zhao Xueshu reads too much, which makes him look silly sometimes."
Tao Zi laughed, looking quite nonchalant: "He's not entirely wrong."
Han Yueshan listened to these words which were equivalent to tacit agreement, and then looked at the two heads sneaking around not far away. He felt a little anxious for a moment. Wouldn't Senior Sister just pretend to do something?
He took a deep breath and said, "I don't know if it's right or wrong, but I only know that Senior Sister has been protecting us, and that's enough."
"What did Zhao Xue say?"
Han Yueshan glared expressionlessly at the taller head in the corner before speaking, "We are too weak, and we haven't spent enough time with Senior Sister. It's normal for her not to fully trust us. But as fellow disciples, we can develop a bond, and our strength will grow. In the future, Senior Sister will definitely trust us."
Xi Jing nodded frantically in the back, and thinking that her senior sister couldn't see, she added, "Master said, sincerity in exchange for sincerity!"
Tao Zi was stunned for a moment, turned around and looked, and Xi Jing pushed the third senior brother's head back without hesitation.
She looked at her quietly. Xi Jing, who had held her head high and chest out at the beginning, became less confident. Did she say something wrong?
"What if, I mean what if, I can't change it?"
Just when she wanted to ask her senior brother for help, her senior sister spoke. She didn't know if it was her illusion, but her senior sister's expression didn't seem right.
She hesitated for a moment, then decided to tell the truth: "It may be a little disappointing, but we should be grateful that Senior Sister is willing to protect us."
Tao Zi lowered her eyes and said nothing. Han Yueshan suddenly spoke seriously, "No one stipulates that we must be sincere to Senior Sister, so Senior Sister must be sincere to us. However, disappointment and regret are inevitable. However, we were the first to want to become fellow disciples with Senior Sister, so we should be the first to show our sincerity. Senior Sister doesn't owe us anything. If Senior Sister really feels that Yisan Sect is not suitable for her, we can't say anything."
She didn't say anything, and Xi Jing and the others looked at their senior sister anxiously.
After a long silence, Zhao Xue finally escaped from the clutches of his junior sister and struggled, "Senior sister, I was wrong. I was just thinking about something else."
She looked at these people gently and said, "I have some things I need to think about. Let's leave it at that for today."
Several people watched her walk towards a hidden cave at the innermost part.
Halfway through her walk, she suddenly stopped and said, "I forgot to tell you, I still like you guys very much, and I also like the Yisan Sect very much. This is one of the reasons why I joined the Yisan Sect in the first place. It's just that due to some things, I can't immediately and wholeheartedly integrate into this sect."
Han Yueshan immediately responded, "Senior Sister, we understand!"
Xi Jing happily kicked her third senior brother hard: "See! Master is right, feelings are always given and taken. We like Senior Sister so much, how could she not like us?"
Outside, there was the sound of Xi Jing and Yue Shan teaming up to beat someone up. Tao Zi smiled and her eyes fell on the medicinal juice that had been prepared with great difficulty in the cave, with no intention of drinking it.
She said in her mind, "Can you hear me?"
"Yes." The inner demon's lazy voice sounded, "You are lucky to have met these silly guys."
Tao Zi said calmly: "They are not stupid."
After hearing this, the inner demon was silent for a long time, and suddenly blurted out: "Tao Zi, you're done."
"Why?"
"You are not suitable to have junior brothers and sisters."
Tao Zi frowned, not understanding what this demon meant.
The inner demon sighed deeply and said, "If you believe me, leave now and become a casual cultivator."
"Speak clearly."
It spoke slowly, "How can a demon have junior brothers and sisters? This will greatly increase the threshold for you to become a demon."
Tao Zi rubbed her forehead. She shouldn't have asked it to speak.
"By the way, what exactly did you want to do by calling me out just now?"
She stirred the medicine and whispered, "Do you think I'm the kind of person who can't let go of things?"
"If you're talking about others, then no; if you're talking about those three ungrateful people and the torture hall, then yes."
Still not right...
More and more past events appeared in her mind, and Tao Zi's brows furrowed deeper and deeper.
