My name is Murong Xuanqiu, and I am the chief disciple of Youyue Peak. I grew up in Qingxiao Sect.
When I was thirteen, I met that guy I both liked and hated—Lin Fan.
My connection with him stemmed from the fact that we were both chief disciples and needed to handle sect affairs together frequently.
I get bored being alone every day. My senior classmates all think I'm too small and don't want to play with me because they think I'm short.
So every time I met Senior Brother Lin, I couldn't help but want to joke with him. But he was very shy and couldn't take it. He would often blush and leave in embarrassment.
As the chief disciple of Youyue Peak, I have to take care of the newly initiated little kid every day and tutor him. It's very tiring, like the clouds in the sky and the water on the ground, going back and forth endlessly and getting irritated.
However, the things I find annoying, Senior Brother Lin enjoys doing. Sometimes I would even ask him to do things, and he never refused.
I don't know when I started to like Senior Brother Lin, maybe it was when we spent a lot of time together.
Later, in preparation for the sect's grand competition, our master personally instructed us that we would have fewer opportunities to meet with our senior brothers.
When they met again, various negative rumors about their senior brother were circulating in the sect. What originally belonged to him had all become the new disciple of Youzhu Peak named Long Aotian.
I don't understand why people in the sect revolve around him. Do they only see his talent and not his low character?
When we met again, seeing his tired face, I felt a pang of sympathy. I asked him if he wanted to come to Youyue Peak, and I offered to give him my position as the chief disciple.
Senior Brother Lin smiled and said, "The kindness of our Master in raising and teaching us cannot be so easily severed."
Since that day, I have never seen him smile again. His eyes slowly dimmed, becoming numb and disappointed.
During the sect competition, I greeted him and wanted to tell him to give up, as it would only cause him more pain. However, his gaze remained fixed on Chu Yunying and never left her.
In the end, he was defeated by Long Aotian, severely humiliated by him, became the laughingstock and target of the sect, and lost his position as chief disciple.
I really wanted to speak up for him, but what can outsiders say about the affairs of Youzhu Peak?
Unfounded accusations and fabricated charges can be arbitrarily pinned on my senior brother. Is this what our sect is all about?
After the competition, I wanted to know why Senior Brother Lin favored his fourth junior sister, so I climbed through her window into her room at night.
Aside from having big, wavy hair and longer legs than me, what makes her superior to me? Adhering to the principle of studying whatever my senior likes, I still sneak in every night.
However, a month later, an incredible event that would determine the fate of his senior brother finally occurred.
I remember that day very clearly. It was pouring rain at the sect. Senior Brother Lin was arrested by the Enforcement Hall, who said he had raped a fellow disciple.
To be honest, when that female disciple appeared in the Hall of Enforcement, her alluring and seductive demeanor was undeniable, even as she cried her heart out. How could Senior Brother Lin possibly be interested in a mere inner disciple?
However, it was still a rebellion against the injustice done to his senior brother. This was a serious crime that would result in the abolition of his cultivation and exile to the forbidden area, which was tantamount to a death sentence.
I was very unwilling to accept this, so I went to Youzhu Peak to ask for a solution. But when I saw Chu Yunying kneeling in front of Uncle Leng's door in the pouring rain to plead for Senior Brother Lin, but receiving no response, I understood.
When people's hearts are biased, whatever you say or do is wrong.
Even Chu Yunying couldn't change anything, so what can I, an outsider, do?
For three days, Uncle Leng did not come to the Enforcement Hall, nor did he hear any news about Senior Brother Lin.
That was three years later. Rumor had it that he stole the evil dragon's relic and transformed into a demon. But he had been forced into such a state, so what did it matter if he transformed into a demon?
So I secretly ran to the far west demon realm, hoping to find Senior Brother Lin, but I still worried about the demons there, and eventually became their food.
When I opened my eyes again, I was back three months before the sect competition, and Senior Brother Lin was being framed as always.
I thought everything would proceed as planned, but then a major reversal occurred.
Senior Brother Lin did not argue; his eyes were filled with indifference and disdain.
Fearing it was all a dream, yet also afraid it was an illusion, I hid at a distance and observed Senior Brother Lin.
He has changed. He no longer goes to great lengths for his junior sisters. You can vaguely see the disgust and disdain he feels for them in his eyes, but he hides it very well.
The former gleam was gone from those eyes; instead, they were as deep and unfathomable as a still pool, as unfathomable as an old fox.
This time, his reputation didn't turn bad; instead, Long Aotian's name became increasingly tarnished.
After the sect competition, I became certain of one thing: my senior brother had definitely been reborn. His gaze was no longer fixed on his junior sister, but was instead cast towards an unknown distance.
So I invited him to join me in taking down Long Aotian. He looked at me strangely, neither agreeing nor refusing, clearly considering the feasibility of the matter.
When I was going down the mountain, my destination was Shanhai City. I didn't see Senior Brother Lin. I cursed him in my heart and was about to curse him aloud when he suddenly appeared and said he was going to spank me.
I was very indignant, but when I got close to him that night, he was stunned and said that he had no interest in Little Potato.
I was so angry! Is it my fault that my legs are short? I almost lost my temper on the spot and wanted to grab his third leg and swing it around like a windmill.
Now that he's been reborn, and since he ignores his junior sisters, then Senior Brother Lin belongs to me, hehe!
The mission in Shanhai City is over. It turns out that his demonic heart did not disappear due to his rebirth. After being exposed, the sect wanted to abolish his cultivation and remove his demonic heart.
I wanted to take my senior brother with me and explore the Central Plains together, but his Cliff of Contemplation was heavily restricted, and none of us could enter except for Uncle Leng.
Later I heard that he had left the sect and I didn't know where he went. I decided to go into seclusion to cultivate. With the help of the inheritance of the female immortal from the upper realm, I quickly broke through to the Nascent Soul stage.
But the Central Plains are vast and the population is immense; how can we possibly find him?
In desperation, I found Chu Yunying and wanted to ask her what she thought. After thinking for a while, she finally told me about the Ten Thousand Mountains and the Great Emperor's inheritance. So we teamed up and started the journey on the Shadowless Horse.
The Ten Thousand Mountains are teeming with magical beasts, and the three great beast race leaders are even sixth-tier magical beasts, so we are very cautious and tread carefully.
We met our senior again. He was still as indifferent as ever, but I knew that I definitely had a place in his heart. He just seemed to be busy and didn't want to admit it.
We all fell unconscious in the swamp of Liehuo Ridge. I don't know how long I slept, but I vaguely felt someone stroking my face and playing with my hair. When I opened my eyes, all I saw was my senior brother's back.
To prove my theory, I boldly rushed over and finally got my wish. This time, he didn't push me away but let me plunder him.
If I realized that Chu Yunying had also won, I would definitely devour my senior brother on the spot.
I could see the tenderness and doting in his eyes, but he didn't give me a clear answer; instead, he made a promise.
I didn't understand why he said that until I learned about my senior brother's past life from Su Youxue, and then I understood.
Senior Brother Lin is worried that his fate will repeat itself, so he doesn't want to drag me down. But you have no idea, Senior Brother, as long as I can be your husband, even for just one day, I will be content.
The war between immortals and demons caused heavy losses to our sect. Every time my senior brother looked at me, his eyes were filled with guilt and pain. I wanted to share his burden, but there was nothing I could do. He gave me a bunch of things to save my life, so I participated in the Nine Cauldrons Battle.
Upon seeing Long Aotian's appearance, the three major beast clans were annihilated, and the little white tiger that had been clinging to my senior brother also died in battle. In order not to become a weakness that Long Aotian could use to threaten my senior brother, I chose to commit suicide.
The moment the sword pierced my heart, I thought of all the little moments I shared with my senior brother. I felt no pain, only contentment.
When I opened my eyes again, I found myself in a strange place. My soul had possessed the body of a woman who looked exactly like me, and I had absorbed her memories.
It turns out this planet is called Blue Star, a world-renowned technologically advanced planet without any cultivation methods.
She was a nurse. I spent the whole night sorting through my memories and finally accepted the truth. When I started working at that hospital, a person who had been hit by a car and was seriously injured was wheeled in from outside the hospital.
I took a look and my expression changed slightly. Isn't this Senior Brother Lin?
He was seriously injured and unconscious, so when I went to the payment window, intending to use all my savings to handle the procedures for him, I saw an unexpected person.
Chu Yunying also came, dressed in a nurse's uniform, and was helping her senior pay the fees. When she finished the procedures and saw me, she paused for a moment, but we didn't talk to each other and just passed by.
I'm so angry! She beat me to it, and now that we're here, she wants to compete with me for the senior brother.
When I saw my senior brother being pulled in for emergency treatment, my heart clenched. With such a severe injury, his sixth sense was beyond saving.
Sure enough, he opened his eyes. We looked at each other and I saw the relief and smile in his eyes before he slowly closed them again.
After my senior brother passed away, Chu Yunying and I coincidentally appeared at the morgue. Neither of us would give way, and we finally agreed to claim the body and cremate it together.
I moved in with her to guard my senior's ashes together. To prevent her from taking my senior's urn away, I skipped work and secretly bought an identical urn, filled it with all sorts of random bones, and replaced the original ashes.
Just as I expected, on the seventh day, she disappeared with the urn. It wasn't until a month later that I saw a news report that a woman had jumped into the Yellow River with an urn in her arms.
Fortunately, my senior brother finally belonged to me. I put in a lot of effort to find his address and pay his rent.
Looking at the simple furnishings and a computer in the room, I curiously turned it on, wanting to see what my senior liked to do in his spare time.
Surprisingly, the largest hard drive on my computer is filled with movies by an actor named Youcai. He still likes actors with long legs, which is infuriating. Why can't my legs be a little longer?
Next to the computer was an old notebook, with only one sentence written on it:
Liking short legs shouldn't be illegal, right?
I happily held the urn containing my ashes, took my medicine, and slowly closed my eyes.
