Immersed in the flashback, You Wanling was startled, and her eyes, which were fixed on You Yueying, were filled with absurdity.
She knew her younger sister's pride all too well.
Countless talented young men and outstanding cultivators came to her seeking her favor, but without exception, none of them could even see her. She even declared that no man in the world could catch her eye, and that only cultivation was the true path.
But the flashback she just witnessed forced her to re-examine her younger sister.
Especially You Yueying's actions of gathering the clouds just now, which seemed unintentional, were filled with urgency or perhaps worry.
Was this action out of fear that she would discover their relationship?
However, Xiaoying also knew her own personality; even if she knew, she wouldn't say anything. At most, she would just test the man she had chosen.
At that moment, an unbelievable thought arose in her mind: Could it be that she was guarding against her...?
Thinking of this, You Wanling felt it was utterly absurd. She had been struggling in the cultivation world for many years and had long since become indifferent to romantic relationships. She never expected that her younger sister would be wary of her. It was truly laughable.
Is this a lack of confidence in her own charm? Or is she afraid that the man she chooses lacks self-control?
As the thought subsided, You Wanling's mind wandered, but she remained calm and said softly:
"Since you've said so, then let's deal with the Ice Emperor lineage according to your wishes."
Hearing this, You Yueying breathed a sigh of relief, finally managing to keep the matter a secret. She secretly rejoiced that her sister hadn't pressed for details, and a relaxed expression appeared on her face.
Unexpectedly, the next moment, You Wanling changed the subject, a playful glint in her eyes:
"However, I did notice an interesting young man down there just now. He dared to meet the gaze of a Heavenly Origin Realm expert with only the strength of a Spirit Tribulation Realm cultivator. It seems that even though we Heavenly Origin Realm cultivators have been away for a long time, there are still people in this vast world who do not take Heavenly Origin Realm experts seriously."
You Wanling spoke casually, raising her finger and seemingly shaking it lightly, but a powerful spiritual energy gathered around her, as if she wanted to teach the boy she was talking about a lesson.
Seeing this scene before her, You Yueying immediately thought of Qin Luo and felt secretly annoyed:
He usually loves to attract attention and is surrounded by women. I thought he was just flirting with ordinary girls, but I never expected him to be so audacious as to stare directly at my sister. Could it be that he wants to set his sights on her?
If Qin Luo knew all this now, he would definitely cry out that he was wronged. When he saw You Wanling's true face earlier, he was indeed stunned for a moment, but he quickly came back to his senses, swiftly withdrew his gaze, and never stared at the sky again.
Suppressing her panic and jealousy, You Yueying forced a smile and said to You Wanling:
"Sis, maybe that kid was just being reckless and didn't mean to offend us. Don't take it to heart."
Hearing this, You Wanling was now almost certain of the truth. The protectiveness was palpable; it seemed the relationship between them was indeed more than simple.
However, when she caught a glimpse of Dan Bingli being held in Qin Luo's arms below, and then saw You Yueying's indignant expression beside her, her eyes flashed, and she instantly made a new plan. Her fingertips still fell down.
Seeing that her sister was really going to make a move, You Yueying was shocked, and her jealousy was instantly replaced by anxiety.
Before she could think, pure darkness erupted from her hand, forcefully wrapping around You Wanling's falling fingers.
At the same time, she released a chilling killing intent, which froze the surrounding air and caused the temperature to plummet.
"Sister!" You Yueying shouted sharply, her voice filled with an unprecedented firmness, "You can't hurt him!"
Feeling the darkness entwined around her fingertips and the undisguised killing intent, You Wanling looked at You Yueying and said mockingly:
"Xiaoying, shouldn't you give me an explanation?"
Seeing the teasing smile on You Wanling's lips, You Yueying immediately realized that she had been too hasty.
My older sister has always been calm and composed, and she would never do something like punishing a junior so casually.
Faced with You Wanling's sweeping gaze, You Yueying's face instantly flushed red, both ashamed and annoyed. She stomped her foot and scolded:
"Sis! You...you tricked me."
Seeing her younger sister like this, You Wanling sighed:
"If I don't do this, how long are you planning to keep this from me? Tell me, what exactly is your relationship with that kid? You actually went so far as to lay a hand on my sister for him."
You Yueying lowered her head, stammered for a long time, and then whispered:
"You... already have the answer in your heart, yet you still... ask, it's just what you think."
The sound was so soft it was like a mosquito's hum; if You Wanling hadn't been so highly skilled, she probably wouldn't have been able to hear it.
Looking at her younger sister's blushing cheeks and shyly lowered head, You Wanling sighed with emotion, her tone tinged with reminiscence:
"This is truly astonishing, sister. I wonder who it was who said back then that all men in the world were beneath their notice, and that only cultivation was the true path? How come now?"
Hearing this, You Yueying lowered her head even further, almost burying it in her chest. Recalling the words she had said back then, and looking at herself now, she felt extremely embarrassed.
She muttered to herself:
"Sis, please don't bring up things that are hard to talk about. I hadn't met him yet back then."
Seeing her younger sister so embarrassed, You Wanling stopped teasing her and said earnestly:
"It's not that I object to you having someone you like, it's just that people's hearts are unpredictable on the path of cultivation. You already know all this, so I don't need to say more. Just tell me the truth, is this boy... really someone you can entrust your life to?"
Upon hearing this, You Yueying raised her head, her eyes filled with unwavering conviction:
“It’s worth it! He’s really good. Although his cultivation level isn’t high right now, I believe he will eventually have a place in the myriad worlds. I will always stay by his side, whether he grows up or not.”
When Qin Luo was mentioned, You Yueying's eyes sparkled with an unprecedented tenderness, a tenderness born from her anticipation for their future together.
Gazing at You Yueying's expression, she had seen this look many times before. Every woman in love looked the same way, seeing only the good in the other person.
Shifting her gaze, You Wanling looked at the two embracing below, Qin Luo and Dan Bingli, and said softly:
"You seem to be infatuated with that boy, but I think he has more than just you in his heart."
Hearing this, You Yueying's face showed a hint of jealousy, but she still retorted:
"He's still young, and it's inevitable that he'll be a bit impetuous and attract a lot of women. But that's all in the past."
"I can only blame myself for not meeting him sooner, which allowed some vixens to get away with it first."
"But don't worry, sister, he has a long future ahead of him. I will 'properly' help him handle these trivial matters. I will help him completely sever all ties with the past, so that from now on, he will only have me in his heart."
