Ye Shubai ignored Ye Sisi and stared intently at Su Jiuli.
Su Jiuli...
He was about to get angry, but for some reason, when he met his fourth junior brother's stubborn gaze, he felt inexplicably guilty.
So he coughed lightly and said, "Junior Sister, you go in and rest first. I'll have a chat with Fourth Junior Brother."
Ye Sisi was even less inclined to go in now. These people were hiding something from her, and judging from their expressions, it seemed to be related to her.
So he turned to look at Lin Shuangluo, who had the same bewildered expression as him: "Third Senior Brother, what are those two doing?"
Lin Shuanglu shook her head, also looking completely bewildered.
The atmosphere inexplicably became strange.
Su Jiuli coughed lightly, patted Ye Sisi's head and said, "Be good, go inside and stay there. Your fourth senior brother has some things that are not convenient for girls to hear."
Ye Sisi's dark eyes darted around, and she looked at Ye Shubai with a meaningful gaze.
"Oh, okay then."
Ye Shubai...
What kind of look is that? This senior brother is so stingy, making him take the blame.
Seeing Ye Sisi enter the space, Ye Shubai thoughtfully set up a barrier for Little Fatty, as it was better not to let his junior sister know some things.
Lin Shuanglu was completely dumbfounded.
"What exactly are you trying to say? Why are you being so mysterious?"
Ye Shubai glanced at his third senior brother, whose eyes were filled with both clarity and foolishness, and silently set up another barrier around himself and Su Jiuli. Oh well, it seems that worrying is a fate reserved only for him and Su Jiuli.
Su Jiuli's expression turned serious as she watched Ye Shubai's series of actions.
"Senior Brother, you know your origins now, right?"
Su Jiuli raised an eyebrow in surprise. He hadn't given himself away during this time, so how did this guy figure it out?
Seeing that Su Jiuli remained silent, Ye Shubai continued, "Your background is related to Junior Sister, and you even come from the same place."
Su Jiuli felt that she had underestimated her fourth junior brother's intelligence. So what if her thoughts were exposed? It shouldn't be enough for him to deduce so much.
“There are some things that can’t be said, otherwise my junior sister and I will die even faster. You just need to know that no one in this world cares about my junior sister more than I do. As long as I am alive, she will be fine.”
Ye Shubai gave Su Jiuli a deep look, and wisely refrained from asking further questions, saying instead, "Alright, I won't ask anymore."
The two fell silent for a moment. Ye Shubai hesitated for a moment, then pointed a finger at the slightly gloomy sky and asked, "Where did it come from?"
Su Jiuli smiled slightly, “Fourth Junior Brother, this world is much bigger than you imagine. From the perspective of Cangjing, the outer heavens may be the Spirit Realm. Looking out from the sky of the Spirit Realm, it may be the Immortal Realm. And what about looking out from the Immortal Realm? Is it another sky, or the boundless starry sky? And what is it like looking out from the starry sky? What lies beyond this universe?”
Ye Shubai hadn't expected that his simple question about where the two of them came from would lead him to such a profound topic.
If he could understand this, would he still be just a lowly Nascent Soul cultivator? He would have reached the pinnacle long ago.
So he decided to change the subject: "Senior Brother, I don't understand. Since you like Junior Sister, why don't you tell her? Even though she hasn't figured it out yet, what if she never does if you don't tell her?"
Su Jiuli sighed: "It's no use talking about it, she has no feelings for anyone."
Ye Shubai was truly shocked. What? No emotional attachment? How could that be?
How could a normal person not have feelings? Thinking of this, Ye Shubai suddenly paused.
Bai Luochen once said that Ye Sisi is not human, which makes sense. Oh dear, her background is so mysterious that it gives him a headache.
Then he patted his senior brother on the shoulder with sympathy.
At first, I felt uncomfortable. My own tender little cabbage had been raised with great difficulty, and now it had been eaten by my own pig. I just couldn't stand it.
It's great now, no emotional attachments, hahaha, then no one can take me away, right? What's the point of love and romance? The path to ascension is more attractive than love and romance.
Su Jiuli glanced at Ye Shubai, who was gloating, and felt inexplicably choked up. Why was he so happy just because he couldn't get what he wanted? He had really raised this guy for nothing all these years.
With a kick, Su Jiuli shattered the barrier beside her and flashed into the Mountain and River Rain Painting.
Lin Shuangluo looked at the smiling Ye Shubai and frowned, saying, "Fourth Junior Brother, what did you do to offend Senior Brother? He looked like he wanted to beat you up."
"It's alright, it's alright. Senior Brother is just in a bad mood. He'll be fine after he's figured things out in a while."
"No, he's in a bad mood, why are you so happy?"
"I'm not happy, Third Senior Brother, you're mistaken. I'm clearly feeling heavy-hearted."
Lin Shuangluo...
Forget it, he decided not to stoop to the level of someone so calculating; after all, it wasn't him who was in a bad mood.
The two walked along the outer edge of the mountain range until they reached a place where they could no longer sense any demonic energy, before calling Ye Sisi and the other person out.
Ye Sisi sensed the presence outside and breathed a sigh of relief.
Finally, that unpleasant smell is gone, and the spiritual energy in the higher plane is so rich that I feel like I can cultivate here much faster than in Little Fatty's space.
The four siblings hunted monsters while searching for rare and precious materials, and surprisingly, they found quite a few good things.
Although they have many good things, especially Zheng Xiangyi who gave them a lot, they can't just sit around and do nothing.
The higher their cultivation level, the more resources they consume to improve, especially since they are all the kind of people who are extremely demanding.
This resulted in any monsters they could defeat becoming stepping stones for them to become stronger. Not only did they have to serve as sparring partners, but they were also eventually used to exchange for money.
Ye Sisi also realized that money really is hard to earn.
A single beast at the Nascent Soul stage can be exchanged for one hundred high-grade spirit stones.
The spirit stones they used in Cangjing were all low-grade spirit stones. Only the ones Zheng Xiangyi gave them were of some high-grade and top-grade, with most being of medium grade.
Cultivating with low-grade spirit stones is indeed a waste of time. A spirit-gathering array set up with a few hundred low-grade spirit stones can be used up by just a few people absorbing the energy.
Mid-grade spirit stones are better, but not by much; in the end, high-grade spirit stones are the most effective.
This forces them to work desperately to earn money, and they have to sell off all their low-grade and mid-grade spirit stones at very unfavorable prices.
Fortunately, Qinglan Domain was not completely overrun. Apart from Xinghuo City, other areas were still operating relatively normally.
Of course, these are just superficial measures. After all, who knows where there might be demon spies and undercover agents? The best way is to avoid too much contact with strangers.
That day, Ye Sisi and her three companions had just finished exchanging spirit stones at the Qinglan Chamber of Commerce and also purchased some resources they needed.
Then I planned to go to the black market, mainly to get a few invitations to the Qinglan Auction.
Although Ye Sisi didn't understand why Su Jiuli insisted on buying that Chaos Crystal, she was willing to go through fire and water with her senior brother if he wanted it.
