I used to think Su Jiuli was cunning, but I never realized he liked to be sarcastic. Where did he learn this habit from?
However, since this was the senior brother, she had to be patient. So Ye Sisi forcibly changed the subject: "Have you made arrangements with those two?"
Su Jiuli nodded: "If I can't even handle something this simple, then I've wasted all these years of my life."
Ye Sisi felt that talking to her senior brother was becoming increasingly difficult, so she decided to just stop talking.
Sensing the approach of two female cultivators dressed in light blue robes, Ye Sisi sat directly on the roof, swinging her legs and eating a candied hawthorn without saying a word.
Su Jiuli wiped his face, and his originally handsome and unruly appearance instantly transformed into that of a handsome young man.
Dressed in a blue robe and carrying a folding fan, he looked every bit the elegant young gentleman from a scholarly family.
Ye Sisi blinked, swallowed the candied hawthorn in her mouth, and asked, "How about carrying a small book box? That would make you look more like a scholar."
After thinking for a moment, Su Jiuli nodded seriously: "Junior Sister is right. How can a scholar not have a book box? And he's even short a page. Junior Sister, why don't you just make do with this?"
Ye Sisi...
She was speechless. What was all this nonsense? How could her senior brother be like this?
"Senior Brother, if you continue like this, you won't be the best senior brother in the world anymore."
"Hurry up, we're going to be scholars on a long journey soon. We've agreed to travel and enjoy the scenery, and I always keep my word."
Ye Sisi hesitated for a moment, but couldn't help but say, "Senior Brother, I want to go to the Demon-Slaying Land to kill demonic beasts, or go to other secret realms to train. I feel that wandering around here is just a waste of time."
After saying that, Ye Sisi felt a little uneasy. She wondered if her senior brother would be angry.
Su Jiuli's smile faded, and she looked calmly into the distance: "Do you believe me?"
Ye Sisi nodded without hesitation, but at the same time she regretted it. The day Su Jiuli came back, he asked her if she believed him, and she said she did. But what she just said clearly showed that she did not believe him.
"Senior Brother, I'm sorry."
Su Jiuli shook her head and reached out to pat her head: "You don't need to apologize to me."
"Just trust me. I'm taking you on this trip so that everyone can have a better ending. Even if the sky falls, there are tall people to hold it up. So far, I'm taller than you, so don't worry. The sky won't fall on your head. We agreed to travel and enjoy ourselves, so just enjoy yourself. When you can control yourself and be yourself again, you can start cultivating. At least for now, you can do whatever you want. Your senior brother will take care of everything."
Ye Sisi's eyes welled up with tears. She blinked hard to hold back the tears that were about to spill, but she still felt a tightness in her chest, and even the candied hawthorn in her hand didn't taste good anymore.
"Senior brother, can I lean on your shoulder for a moment?"
After speaking, Ye Sisi leaned her head against Su Jiuli without waiting for his agreement. Sometimes she really felt very tired. She had a clear understanding of herself and knew that she was not the kind of person who could shoulder great responsibilities. But what could she do? She had been drawn into this game from the very beginning, so she felt that watching the various aspects of life here was a waste of time. If she could, who wouldn't like the smoke rising from the chimneys at the foot of the mountain and the ethereal atmosphere on the mountain?
Su Jiu sighed inwardly. He knew all too well the pressure the young girl was under, especially the deep wound that Bai Luochen's death had left in her heart, a wound that time could not erase.
The current situation is even more agonizing. Continuing to cultivate is possible, but one may no longer be oneself. At that time, will one still care about the life or death of Bai Luochen?
Without cultivation, Bai Luochen's return is a long way off. Even he would suffer if he encountered the same situation, let alone a young girl. Many things cannot be solved simply by being clever.
Ye Sisi said sullenly, "Senior Brother, you must be very tired, right?"
Su Jiuli smiled and said, "It's alright, the capable should do more work, right?"
"Senior Brother, you're really not angry? I didn't mean to, I was just a little anxious."
"I'm not angry, I'm just a little sad, no, I'm heartbroken, my heart still aches."
Ye Sisi...
How am I supposed to respond to this? Senior Brother is being way too dramatic. Forget it, I'll just play dead.
Su Jiuli looked at the little girl who had fallen asleep on his shoulder without him noticing, his eyes filled with tenderness. She should rest well when she was tired. He put away his folding fan and carefully adjusted his position to make the little girl more comfortable.
"Junior Sister, you should smile more," Su Jiuli said, gently smoothing the girl's furrowed brows. Some things others can't help you with; you can only rely on yourself. All he could do was help her walk that path more smoothly.
After finishing everything, Su Jiuli looked up at the setting sun in the west. At this moment, the world was a vibrant, verdant landscape.
When Ye Sisi woke up again, she found herself sitting in a carriage, feeling rather languid.
Although she did not cultivate during this period, she could not fall asleep at night. Many times she would stare at the ceiling of the bed or sit by the window all night.
It's not good for a cultivator to be too healthy. If she were still an ordinary person, she wouldn't be unable to sleep even if she was in a bad mood. Even if she couldn't sleep mentally, her body wouldn't allow it.
But yesterday, or rather yesterday, she actually fell asleep without even dreaming. How strange.
Pulling back the carriage curtain, Su Jiuli was leaning against the carriage wall, flipping through a book, with a bamboo hat on her head that looked like it came from nowhere. It was hard to describe her appearance.
Without the straw hat, even with his rather ordinary face, he would still be a scholarly young master, but now he looks inexplicably out of place.
Su Jiuli didn't even look up: "You're awake. Come here, I bought you these page clothes especially for you. Hurry up and change into them so we can drive. It's not like a page can sit comfortably in a carriage while you, young master, are out in the wind and sun."
Ye Sisi's lips twitched, and all her unspoken words were finally reduced to a single "Hmph."
She really wanted to yell "Get lost!" but she swallowed it back. After all, he was her senior brother; she couldn't curse him.
She just couldn't understand what had gotten into her senior brother. He was always acting so carefree and irresponsible. If their master and the others saw him like this, they would be so shocked that their eyes would pop out.
After thinking for a moment, Ye Sisi changed into the robes of the Heavenly Spirit Sect. She made slight adjustments to the array patterns on the robes and tidied her hair. With a flick of her wrist, a folding fan appeared in her hand.
With a little dressing up, anyone can be a dashing gentleman. Not to brag, but in terms of charm, Su Jiuli isn't even worthy of carrying her shoes. Of course, she could only think about it secretly.
Pulling back the carriage curtain and sitting on the carriage shaft, Ye Sisi asked curiously, "Senior Brother, tell me honestly, did you give me sleeping pills or something? Otherwise, how did I fall asleep?"
Su Jiuli smiled slightly: "Young Master Ye, how about we play a game of chess?"
Ye Sisi...
"Senior Brother, if you don't speak properly, I might really hit you, I'm not kidding, I'm serious."
