You Rongxinya didn't care about Chi Yuan's past. She was attracted to Fu Feng as he was now. Even if his past was really terrible, that was all in the past. She didn't care at all. As long as he was worthy of her affection and admiration now, that was enough.
Besides, she didn't think that Chi Yuan was that bad before.
According to what Lu Ziling and the other two said, even if Chi Yuan only had the intention of building a harem, it would be perfectly reasonable for him to have already taken those seven junior sisters into his harem. After all, Chi Yuan's efforts deserved this reward.
Moreover, since these seven junior sisters accepted Chi Yuan's benefits, they should be prepared to be taken into the harem. Otherwise, why should they accept benefits for nothing?
If it were her, and she were treated like this by Fu Feng, she wouldn't hesitate to do anything, even if it was just a little desecration, she would be more than willing to share a night of passion with him.
Therefore, in her opinion, the fault did not lie with Chi Yuan, but with Chi Yuan's seven pretentious junior sisters!
"That's not how it is!"
Upon hearing Rong Xinya's words, Lu Ziling and the other two women unanimously denied them, their tone quite agitated.
Su Ningyan spoke first: "Senior brother has never had any ill intentions towards us. His kindness towards us is simply a senior brother's way of taking care of his junior sister. He has no such filthy thoughts at all!"
Rong Xinya was taken aback upon hearing this. Chi Yuan didn't have those kinds of feelings for these junior sisters? How could that be...?
Lu Ziling smiled bitterly and said, "I do hope that my senior brother has ulterior motives towards me, otherwise why would he have been tormented by unrequited love for so many years? But my senior brother is a devoted person, and with his engagement, he only has his fiancée in his heart. He has always kept his distance from us and never gave us the chance to overstep the boundaries of our relationship as senior and junior brothers and sisters."
"That's right. Actually, my six senior sisters and I all like our senior brother very much. We've expressed our feelings to him openly and secretly many times, but he's never accepted us..."
Ning Wan'er said dejectedly, then turned indignantly, "Those rumors are complete fabrications! If Senior Brother were that kind of womanizer, how could we still be innocent today?"
Su Ningyan bit her pink lips, her watery eyes filled with sadness: "Once, I was fully prepared. One night, I went to my senior brother's place dressed very lightly, wanting to offer myself to him. But he pushed me away without hesitation and scolded me angrily. I don't know how long I was heartbroken because of that..."
Lu Ziling was also heartbroken: "My senior brother always advised me to think about important matters in life as soon as possible and not to shut out those suitors. But how could he know that my heart was already full of him? How could I have room for anyone else? But he never gave me a chance. Even though I hinted that I would not mind being a concubine, he remained unmoved."
“Miss Xinya, I understand how you see us, but it’s not that we’re pretending to be high and mighty; it’s just that he doesn’t want to get involved with us…”
Hearing the three women's words, Rong Qingyan and her three daughters looked at each other in bewilderment. They had thought that Lu Ziling and the others were just being aloof and unwilling to let Chi Yuan touch them, but who knew that it was the complete opposite?
"This isn't right."
You Ronghan gently pinched her chin with her jade hand and looked at the three women questioningly: "According to what you said, you should have a very good relationship with Chi Yuan, so how could you betray him together, causing him to lose his cultivation and leave the sect? This is completely illogical."
"That's right, what you've said is completely contradictory. If Chi Yuan is so important to you, how could he have suffered such a misfortune over such a trivial matter?"
Rong Xinya didn't believe it either; it was too far removed from reality and didn't make any sense at all.
Lu Ziling's face darkened, and she said helplessly, "That's exactly the problem. Given our feelings for our senior brother, this kind of thing shouldn't have happened at all. But during that time, we don't know what happened to us. It was as if we were all bewitched. Our attitude towards our senior brother changed inexplicably. We had no feelings for him at all, and even felt disgusted and repulsed by him."
"It was for this reason that we pushed him to that point. Only after witnessing his cultivation being destroyed and his mind being severely stimulated did we break free from that obsessive state and regain our original feelings for our senior brother."
Su Ningyan nodded in agreement: "At that time, we were all in a very strange state. Although we were clear-headed, our minds seemed to be affected by some kind of magic, which made us quite depressed, so we did a lot of stupid things."
"And then there's the matter of feelings. I clearly admired and adored my senior brother so much, and dreamed of being his woman, but during that time he became like a stranger. I didn't care about him at all anymore, which was really strange..."
Ning Wan'er glanced at You Rong Qingyan secretly, wanting to say something but not daring to speak, her eyes filled with a hint of resentment.
"Is it related to Ye Chen?"
At this moment, however, Rong Qingyan suddenly took the initiative to ask a question.
The three women, including Lu Ziling, were startled. They looked at each other, unsure of what to say.
You Rongqing frowned, clearly having already received the answer. Knowing that the three of them had their concerns, she reassured them, saying, "Speak freely. Although Ye Chen is my son, I never indulge him. If it is truly his fault, I will definitely find a way to help you clarify things and resolve the misunderstanding between you and Chi Yuan."
"Don't doubt my determination. Your senior brother saved my life, and I'm helping you to repay his kindness."
The three women were overjoyed upon hearing this, and finally put aside their concerns. Lu Ziling took the lead and said frankly, "To be honest, it was only after Junior Brother Ye Chen entered the sect that the seven of us sisters changed like this. At that time, we heard about his unfortunate experience of having his cultivation destroyed, and we all felt great sympathy for him. After that, we became obsessed with him and tried our best to be good to him. We gave him all the benefits first and considered him first in everything we did."
"Actually, this is understandable. As senior sisters, it's only natural for us to take care of our junior brother. Even our senior brother takes good care of him. But the strange thing is that since he appeared, our minds have been subtly affected. Our perspective on everything has become one-dimensional, black and white. Moreover, our emotions seem to have been clouded. All the feelings we had for our senior brother have been sealed away, and we no longer have any feelings for him..."
"Aunt, we dare not say for sure whether Junior Brother caused this strange influence on us, nor do we intend to shift the blame onto him. But every word we have said is the absolute truth, and we have no intention of deceiving you in the slightest. Please see this clearly, Aunt!"
You Rongqingyan nodded thoughtfully, not asking further questions on the topic, and instead said, "I understand the situation. If what you say is true, then this conflict is not difficult to resolve. I am confident that I can help Chi Yuan resolve his inner conflict and make him forgive you."
"that……"
The three women were not pleased by Rong Qingyan's words; instead, they looked grave. "Aunt, I'm afraid things are not as simple as you think."
