[You discussed everything with Master Li Wanshou]

[You know very clearly how bad your health is and there is no possibility of saving it. You start to plan your funeral.]

[In order to allow your sister to live a better life, you began to teach her, including but not limited to cultivation, how to behave in society, and the four arts of cultivation.]

[Your sister is very dependent on you, but you start to become cold towards her, hoping to reduce her dependence on you and weaken the relationship between you.]

You think you are just a dying person

[Should not become a stumbling block that restricts the girl's future]

[Given your current relationship, after you leave the Heavenly Sword Sect, Xu Moli will definitely go to find you regardless of everything. Therefore, you are actively destroying this relationship, hoping to make Xu Moli have a lower opinion of you, or even hate you.]

[Only in this way will she not look for you who is missing]

[Only in this way will she not discover the truth]

[Only in this way can you leave with peace of mind...]

[Your actions have been quite effective. With your deliberate indifference and neglect, Xu Moli's reliance on you has decreased, but she still respects you and regards you as a brother.]

[Under your guidance, Xu Moli officially became a cultivator in the Qi Refining Stage. She was very happy. You said two words in her expectant eyes.]

【"generally."】

[Xu Moli felt wronged because of your indifference. Instead of comforting her, you arranged more training courses for her.]

[You are very anxious. Theoretically, you have three years left to live, but your body is beginning to show signs of collapse.]

[One day, you discovered that you had hearing problems]

[You disguised yourself very well. The girl didn't notice your physical condition. You silently accelerated the teaching process, hoping to teach the girl to be able to stand on her own before your body completely collapsed.]

[Your overly strict teaching plan caused the girl to feel more dissatisfied and aggrieved. She began to doubt that she was not important in your heart.]

[Why did it become like this? Why did the brother who once loved and cared for her become so cold today? ]

[More and more grievances, more and more doubts, Xu Moli can no longer bear it]

Half a year later.

Inside the cave.

The girl with a beautiful face had tears flowing from the corners of her eyes and her lips were tightly pursed, as if she had a lot of grievances flowing in her heart.

The corners of his mouth trembled slightly: "Brother, what did I do wrong..."

silence.

There was a long silence.

Facing his sister's question, Xu Xi shook his head and said, "You did nothing wrong."

"So, who is your brother——"

"Mo Li."

Xu Xi interrupted the girl's questioning, his eyes narrowed slightly, as if he was recalling something: "Do you still remember how long we have lived together?"

The girl didn't understand why he suddenly asked such a question, but she still answered subconsciously: "Seventeen years."

Seventeen years.

This is the total time that Xu Xi has been simulating, and also the age of the girl herself.

"Yes, it's been seventeen years."

Xu Xi spoke softly, his voice full of fatigue and a hoarseness and numbness that could not be ignored.

"When I first met you, you were still a newborn baby. In order for you to survive, I had to use the last of my food to exchange for human milk from others."

"I was really hungry at that time..."

"But I still worry every day, afraid that you're unhappy, afraid that you don't have enough clothes to wear, afraid that you don't have enough to eat."

"You were suddenly ill when you were ten years old, and it took seven years until you were cured at the age of seventeen. I worked non-stop for seven years to treat your illness."

Xu Xi's voice was very calm, without any complaints or blame.

It just reveals a sense of bitter weariness.

"Mo Li, if it weren't for you, my life could have been more exciting."

"I am also a human being. I have my own dreams. I can't think of everything for you. I'm not that great, you know."

"You are seventeen years old. You are no longer a child."

"It's time to learn how to take care of yourself and live an independent life!"

"I--"

"I'm tired."

The cave was filled with a depressing and gloomy atmosphere.

The light became dim and blurry.

The girl's face turned pale and her eyes were dull. She seemed to want to refute something, but in the end she could only say one sentence: "So, brother, do you think Mo Li is a burden?"

"……Um."

My heart was heavy, as if I had fallen into a bottomless abyss. All my emotions were devoured, and in the end I could only flee like a wolf.

Xu Moli was choking with sobs and unable to utter a single word.

Running fast.

Ran out of the cave.

The only thing left was Xu Xi, who had lost all his strength and sat limp on a wooden chair, not uttering a word and in a daze for a long time.

Humans are indeed extremely contradictory creatures.

Xu Xi thought in his heart.

He had prepared various excuses early on to destroy his relationship with his sister and erase the image of a good brother in the girl's mind.

But when it comes to actually implementing it, I still feel uncomfortable and unbearable.

"It hurts so much... It hurts much more than when my spirit root was burning..."

Xu Xi covered his chest and muttered to himself, "But this way, the child can completely escape my influence and live well in the world of immortal cultivation."

[Your words are extremely sharp, like a sharp sword, piercing through and tearing the girl's heart apart]

[She ran out alone for a long time]

[I cried alone, wiped my tears in sorrow alone, and in a deserted corner, I forced myself to comfort myself in the most pitiful, aggrieved, and lonely manner]

[When Xu Moli came back, her expression had become much colder, and the way she looked at you was no longer full of respect as before, and she no longer complained about your training.]

[Your heart is hurting, your heart is happy]

[After this incident, the girl's will became much stronger. You sighed and pretended to cover your mouth casually, so that the girl would not see the blood you coughed up.]

[You wholeheartedly assist the girl in her practice. Your high level of mental concentration causes your body to break down even faster. One morning in the eighteenth year of your journey, you find yourself becoming increasingly powerless.]

[You know, it's time for you to leave]

[Although I am reluctant to leave, and although I still want to witness the girl's growth, if you continue to stay in the Heavenly Sword Sect, she will sooner or later discover the truth about you.]

[You choose to leave without saying goodbye, and drive the flying boat away from the Heavenly Sword Sect alone, breaking through the wind and clouds all the way, heading to a place far away from the world of immortal cultivation]

Where to go next?

You are confused

[In the past 18 years, your goal has always been to cultivate immortality and take care of your sister, but now, neither of these two goals can be carried out.]

[You thought for a long time and decided to return to the Black Stone City where you once lived and spend the rest of your time alone]

[The world of immortal cultivation is vast, with countless mortal dynasties and numerous places for enjoyment, but to you, none of them is as familiar and comfortable as Black Stone City. After all, this place condenses the five years of memories between you and the girl.]

call--

The flying boat descended from the sky.

Without anyone noticing.

Silently, the young man, who no longer had any cultivation or spiritual roots, moved into the old wooden house with a wooden sword.

Living alone, quietly waiting for death.

period.

Neighbors who still remembered the young man greeted him and he responded one by one.

When asked why he didn't see the girl, he just smiled and avoided the question.
