Following Meng Tianyuan into the room, Ye Sisi stood to the side with her head down, looking listless and without any of her previous spirit.
Meng Tianyuan walked to the table and sat down, took the wine flask from his waist and took a big gulp, as if he was preparing his words.
Ye Sisi kept her head down and didn't speak. After a long while, she pursed her lips, took a step forward, and was about to kneel down.
Meng Tianyuan then slowly spoke: "Are you sure you want to kneel?"
Before anyone knew it, Ye Sisi was already in tears.
"Master, I'm sorry, it's my fault that Fifth Brother was harmed."
After all these years, has Ye Sisi let go? No, she simply can't let go.
Su Jiuli didn't blame her, Ouyang Yanyu didn't blame her, Lin Shuangluo didn't blame her, Ye Shubai didn't blame her, Bai Luochen didn't blame her, but she blamed herself.
The situation is complicated because her senior brothers and sisters are all deeply involved. They are also blaming themselves, so they don't know how to help each other let go. In fact, none of them have let go, nor can they let go.
For so many years, Ye Sisi didn't even know who to say sorry to; it seemed like saying it to anyone was wrong.
"I won't say that the fault wasn't yours, because you wouldn't listen anyway. I'll just ask you, if you were in Xiao Wu's position, would you have made the same choice as him?"
Ye Sisi nodded without hesitation. She had already resolved to die, so her nod was not forced at all.
Meng Tianyuan took another sip of wine. He felt bitter, but he was the teacher of these children, and a teacher for a day is a father for life.
"Xiao Wu's feelings for you are no less than your feelings for him. Even if it were Jiu Li Yan Yu, she would make the same choice. Of course, what I say may not be entirely correct, and you don't have to listen to everything I say."
"The reason you can't let go is because you consider Xiao Wu as family. It's not just you, it's Yan Yu Shuang Luo and the others too. Isn't that enough?"
After hearing this, Ye Sisi could no longer control her emotions. She rushed to Meng Tianyuan, buried her face in his lap, and burst into tears. She had always been afraid that Meng Tianyuan would try to persuade her to let go of the relationship, which would then be no longer a matter of feelings but a business transaction.
It's not that Ye Sisi saved the entire Tianling Sect and everyone owes her something, and she can use these so-called life-saving graces to repay them. But that's not what she wants. She would rather Meng Tianyuan beat her up.
But her master understood her. She didn't expect anyone's forgiveness. Even if the whole thing was a scheme by someone behind the scenes, she was the root of the trouble, and she never denied that.
Her only worry was that her master would treat her as an outsider and treat their relationship as a business transaction, which would mean that the Heavenly Spirit Sect would no longer be the Heavenly Spirit Sect it once was.
Although thinking this way does feel a bit unfair to Master, thankfully nothing has changed. When Fifth Senior Brother returns, Tianling Sect will still be the same Tianling Sect as before.
Meng Tianyuan looked down at his little disciple, who was wiping away tears on his knees, with tender eyes. In the world of cultivation, there are always people who die, but those who live should live well, along with the other person.
Seeing that Ye Sisi's emotions had stabilized a bit, Meng Tianyuan reached out and patted her head: "Alright, how old are you and you're still crying? Remember to buy your teacher a new robe later."
Ye Sisi was so angry she laughed. This was definitely her master, still trying to squeeze money out of his disciple at a time like this.
However, she still nodded: "No problem, not to mention one, even ten or a hundred items, I will definitely deliver them to you tomorrow."
"Get out! Stop calling me 'old man' all the time. Your master is in the prime of his life."
Ye Sisi wiped her face, smiled and agreed, then happily ran towards the door.
"Remember to buy yourself a few more outfits when you go shopping for clothes tomorrow."
Ye Sisi paused as she opened the door, a warm feeling washing over her. "I understand, Master."
Meng Tianyuan sighed inwardly, took another sip of wine, and stood up. He decided to have a good heart-to-heart talk with his disciples tonight. They were all so troublesome, and he was almost driven crazy by their pent-up emotions.
After talking with the second disciple, let's go find the third disciple first. We can't mess up the order of seniority, right? Someone completely forgot that he had just met the youngest disciple first.
The next morning, Ye Sisi put on the moon-white robe that Ouyang Yanyu had given her when they first met, and styled her hair into a simple double bun. She looked playful and lively, and although she didn't have the brilliance of her red dress, she had a touch of elegance.
Especially when standing next to the equally ethereal Ouyang Yanyu, they are simply too pleasing to the eye.
Two beauties, one aloof and ethereal like a banished immortal, the other lively and spirited with bright, expressive eyes.
Meng Tianyuan nodded in satisfaction. One person can't simply disappear and another person have to take their place and live on. This whole affair is ultimately the fault of Heaven, and he understood that, as did his disciples.
"Master, my second senior sister and I went out to buy you clothes, okay? Don't worry, junior uncle, we won't forget you!"
Lin Shuangluo and Ye Shubai thought about it and decided not to follow. Girls can be really scary when they go shopping, so they decided to let them have fun on their own.
The two pushed open the gate to the courtyard, holding hands as they walked and talked.
Of course, Ye Sisi did most of the talking, while Ouyang Yanyu listened.
Ye Sisi suddenly leaned close to Ouyang Yanyu's ear, winked playfully, and whispered, "Second Senior Sister, let me tell you, in my heart you are the number one beauty in the Spirit Realm. Those who rank us have no taste."
Ouyang Yanyu smiled and, mimicking Ye Sisi, leaned close to her ear and whispered, "How could that be? My junior sister is the most beautiful woman in the world. I just took advantage of your absence."
Ye Sisi's eyes narrowed with laughter, but they continued to compliment each other. It had been a long time since they had been this happy.
But sometimes, there are just people who insist on jumping out and ruining someone else's good mood.
"Oh, who do we have here? Isn't this our third beauty, Fairy Yanyu? Judging from your tone, you seem to have some dissatisfaction with our Fairy Mingyue and Fairy Lingyou!"
That sarcastic tone is so obvious, it's hard not to hear the sarcasm in it.
They were already being very discreet, whispering in each other's ears, so it's amazing that someone still found fault with them. Besides, they didn't really care about that beauty ranking at all; they were just joking around. Any normal person could tell that.
Moreover, this person is so rude, even listening to whispers, showing no respect whatsoever.
Turning around, I was amazed by the impressive scene.
A dazzling rain of flowers drifted down from the sky. Looking up in the direction of the rain, a row of beautiful women in pink dresses, their faces haughty, guarded a luxurious carriage as they slowly descended from the sky.
The horses pulling the carriage were all sixth-tier Heavenly Dragon Horses, equivalent to a Nascent Soul cultivator, and the carriage itself was likely made of thousand-year-old spirit wood.
The ingenious patterns on the car body are like defensive arrays; the scale of the design is truly impressive.
Two female cultivators, or rather maids, dressed in white sat on the carriage shaft.
They all covered their faces with white veils, but their eyes, which were visible, were also very beautiful; they were clearly top-tier beauties.
Through the thin veil behind the two women, one could vaguely see the figure of a graceful beauty inside.
The one who spoke in such a sarcastic tone was the veiled woman on the left. From her words, it's not hard to tell who the carriage owner is: Liu Mingyue, second on the beauty list, from Mingyue Palace.
