Long Lin liked her; Ning Xiaocao had always been certain of this.
However, repeated heartbreak later led her to completely abandon the idea.
Perhaps, it was all just her deceiving herself; in reality, Long Lin didn't like her, and she was just being delusional.
She kept telling herself that Long Lin didn't like her.
Just when she was about to succeed, Long Lin's behavior became so unusual.
He might like her.
"I like you?"
Long Lin gripped Ning Xiaocao's shoulders tightly.
Ning Xiaocao groaned in pain and brushed away Long Lin's hand.
"I--"
"Alright, that's enough. Whether you like me or not, I don't mind."
"Why?" Isn't it because you care about him?
She used to beg me so desperately not to leave, but now, does she no longer care about me at all?
"Brother Long, don't overthink it. I just want to ask you one question."
"What?"
What should we do about Mo Lan?
Long Lin fell silent; he didn't know what to do about Mo Lan either.
"It's impossible for both of us to belong to you. You have to choose one of us."
He—couldn't choose.
He cared more about Xiaocao, but he couldn't just abandon Mo Lan like that.
"Little grass, give me some more time, and I will definitely—"
“Brother Long, stop making excuses. From now on, live a good life with Mo Lan and stop overthinking things.” Ning Xiaocao shrugged at him. “The Brother Long I like is a responsible person, not someone who is fickle like this.”
She actually still liked him.
I still like it very much. After so many years of feelings, it's not so easy to let go.
But if Long Lin really chose her and abandoned Mo Lan, then why would she like such a fickle Long Lin?
Ning Xiaocao suddenly reached out and hugged Long Lin.
"Brother Long, you must be happy."
This was her final blessing to him.
"From now on, you are my older brother."
Ning Xiaocao let go of her hand, looked up and smiled. Her eyes were slightly red, and her nose felt a little sore.
Long Lin waved his hand and removed the barrier.
Has he already understood what the little grass means?
I also came to understand my true feelings.
But it was too late.
The barrier had just been removed when Mo Lan's longsword came crashing down on them.
"Little grass".
Ning Hong was startled. In a flash, she was already beside Ning Xiaocao, even faster than Long Lin.
"Ning Xiaocao, you bitch."
Mo Lan's attacks were quite fierce. She had the blessing of a minor secret realm, so she always used her spiritual power for much longer than ordinary cultivators.
Ning Hong then pulled Ning Xiaocao back, flicking her sleeve to deflect the girl's longsword.
"Mo Lan, what are you doing?"
Mo Lan's first attack failed, so she twirled her sword and attacked again, but Long Lin blocked her attack with a flick of his longsword.
“She seduced my man, why can’t I hit her? Even if I kill her, she deserves it.”
"You need to speak properly. When did I seduce Long Lin? Can't you speak properly?" Ning Xiaocao didn't want to hear such harsh words.
"No, you two were just hugging?" Mo Lan's eyes were red. "Long Lin, I'm already yours. Are you going to abandon me after using me?"
She didn't want things to turn out this way either, but she was too deeply in love and couldn't control her behavior. The thought of losing Long Lin made her heart ache, a pain she found hard to bear.
"I……"
"Don't talk nonsense. We're siblings, and he's my brother. What's wrong with me hugging my brother?"
"elder brother?"
Mo Lan sneered, "Do you think I'm a fool?"
That look in his eyes, that attitude from Long Lin?
That's not the look a brother gives his sister.
“He really is my brother. I sincerely wish you both well.” Ning Xiaocao peeked out from behind Ning Hongze. “We’re going back to Hengshan Sect soon, and I don’t know when we’ll see each other again. Brother Long and I grew up together, so a farewell hug isn’t too much to ask, is it?”
A farewell hug?
"Of course, if you mind, we won't hug anymore."
Ning Xiaocao said tactfully.
She spoke so naturally, without the slightest hint of insincerity, and her poised and generous attitude finally made Mo Lan stop what she was doing.
Are you telling the truth?
"Of course, you can ask Brother Long if you don't believe me."
Ning Xiaocao immediately shifted the blame to Long Lin. Long Lin gave Ning Xiaocao a deep look, then glanced at Mo Lan, whose expression was slightly manic, and finally nodded heavily. "She's right, it was just a farewell hug."
From then on, they were just brother and sister.
"See? That's how it is." Ning Xiaocao stepped forward as well. "Sister-in-law, I was wrong before. I apologize to you."
Mo Lan: "——"
It still feels somewhat unbelievable.
She was already prepared to kill Ning Xiaocao, so why did Ning Xiaocao suddenly change her attitude?
This attitude is a bit scary.
However, if she and Long Lin could truly be treated as just brother and sister, that would be perfect, and she wouldn't have to think about how to kill Ning Xiaocao.
Ning Hong didn't show it on her face, but she was filled with vigilance in her heart.
The killing intent emanating from Mo Lan was not fake, but real.
