The moment this thought crossed Bai Xiwen's mind, he convinced himself that regardless of whether his junior sister liked him or not, he absolutely couldn't let her hate him...
So he suddenly raised his head, his eyes more determined than ever before, and asked Liu Lingxian in a hopeful tone.
"Junior sister, if I let you go, will you stop hating me?"
Liu Lingxian's eyes lit up instantly. She seemed to see herself returning to Tuoba San's side, completely unaware of the consequences her leaving would bring to Bai Xiwen...
Her mind was filled with images of Tuoba San; the more unattainable something is, the more desirable it often seems…
In order to make Bai Xiwen disobey her father's orders, she said without hesitation...
"Of course, you're my fifth senior brother. If you hadn't deceived me this time, how could I possibly hate you? If you let me out, I'll forgive you, and you'll still be my fifth senior brother..."
After saying this, Liu Lingxian waited for Bai Xiwen's reply. Just as she was getting a little anxious, Bai Xiwen's voice rang out again...
"Junior Sister, is that man really worth it?"
Bai Xiwen was unwilling to accept it. They had all grown up together. Could the feelings between childhood sweethearts really not be able to compete with the white moonlight?
As a man, he could see that Tuoba San was a cultivation fanatic with a firm belief in the Dao, and feelings were not important to him at all. Even if the two of them were to get together, Liu Lingxian would not be happy...
He could see everything clearly, and Liu Changqing, as a father, could also see everything clearly. Only Liu Lingxian, the person involved, couldn't see it clearly, yet she still rushed in like a moth to a flame...
Faced with Bai Xiwen's question, Liu Lingxian remained silent for a moment before speaking.
Fifth Senior Brother, do you know what love is?
"Junior sister, you should understand how I feel about you..."
Before Bai Xiwen could continue, Liu Lingxian interrupted him.
"Fifth Senior Brother, I know what you want to say. You and the other senior brothers have all been very good to me. You take good care of me and like me a lot. You are willing to give me all the good things..."
I've never denied this, and I understand what you're thinking, but I can't fall for any of you...
This isn't just because it's unfair to others; it also represents my father's choice of the next sect leader. Too many factors are involved. No matter how things develop, love is impossible…
I like you all, and I'd love to practice and play with each of you, but I understand that's not love. My feelings for you stem from kinship; I consider you family, and only in this way can our relationship remain unaffected…
But when I met Third Brother again, I realized what I wanted. He was brave, domineering, and full of an indomitable and unwavering belief...
He's like a mystery, making you want to constantly understand him. Seeing him makes my heart race uncontrollably. If I don't seize this opportunity, the next time I see him, I might only be able to look up to him. Do you know how heartbreaking that would be?
Liu Lingxian's words were like a knife, constantly cutting into Bai Xiwen's heart...
He wanted to tell her that her idea was wrong, but he couldn't bear to discourage Liu Lingxian. Some truths can only be understood after experiencing setbacks...
"Junior sister, aren't you going to consider Master's reaction when he finds out you ran away?"
Bai Xiwen was still making a last-ditch effort, hoping that Liu Lingxian would see the error of her ways...
However, he underestimated how determined a woman blinded by love could be. Upon hearing his words, Liu Lingxian's first reaction wasn't that he cared about her, but rather that she was afraid of being punished...
So her tone immediately turned cold as she spoke.
"If you're afraid of Father's punishment, then forget it. I don't want to be a burden to you. From now on, I'll pretend I don't have a fifth senior brother like you..."
These words were clearly forcing Bai Xiwen to make a decision, and Bai Xiwen, who had been psychologically hurt once again, finally understood Liu Lingxian's feelings...
He gritted his teeth and said
"Junior sister, I hope you can find your own happiness..."
After saying this, Bai Xiwen broke the seal and released Liu Lingxian…
Having regained her freedom, Liu Lingxian didn't notice Bai Xiwen's dejected mood. She rushed out of the room and flew straight towards the sect's gate, knowing that even a second's delay could result in her father capturing her again...
Left standing there, Bai Xiwen's eyes dimmed. He raised his hand, as if trying to grab something, but the figure grew farther and farther away until it disappeared...
"Junior Sister..."
Bai Xiwen's voice was very soft. He knew Liu Lingxian couldn't hear him, but he still wanted to call out to her. Perhaps only in this way could his little junior sister still remain in his heart...
boom…
An angry figure descended from the sky. Looking at the vanished Liu Lingxian, Liu Changqing glared angrily at Bai Xiwen and roared...
"You bastard, what have you done?"
But Bai Xiwen was completely distraught, as if she hadn't heard her master's reprimand at all...
Seeing his disciple so useless, Liu Changqing felt a surge of frustration. He directly slapped Bai Xiwen out of the sect, the sound reaching his ears...
"Get out... If you can't bring Xian'er back, then you don't need to come back at all..."
Before Bai Xiwen even landed after flying out of the sect, blood was already trickling from the corner of his mouth, but he had no complaints; this was an outcome he had expected...
At the market…
Tuoba San has already dealt with the three troublemakers, and he knows almost all the information he needs...
"Son, I think this is very strange..."
I voiced my doubts, and Tuoba San nodded in agreement.
"Father, I also think it's all too much of a coincidence..."
I pondered for a moment and then said...
"I'm wondering what the relationship is between the Forbidden Land of the Gods and the Heavenly Court. Xian'er is the daughter of the sect leader of the Divine Puppet Sect, and she has never heard of the existence of the Heavenly Court. That proves that this organization is very secretive..."
Why would such an organization travel all the way to the Western Continent to hunt us down? Our Tuoba family has thrived in the Western Continent for generations and has never offended any major powers, let alone such a mysterious organization. It's hard not to suspect that there might be some misunderstanding..."
Although I said that, I know it's definitely not a misunderstanding. This is a necessary experience for the chosen one to appear. It's just that the connection between them is something I've never been able to figure out...
Tuoba San frowned. He thought of Ling Feng, because he was the only one in the Central Continent with enemies. Perhaps Ling Feng knew something…
But every time he's with me, Lingfeng is asleep and I can't wake him up. I can't ask him anything now...
"Perhaps they're not targeting your Tuoba family, but something else entirely..."
Murong Xuanxuan's words were like a morning bell and an evening drum, enlightening everyone...
