Chapter 27: The Duties of an Elder Brother



Not long after, we arrived at Chuyun Peak and Duanyang Cliff.

As soon as Jiang Zhige climbed to the cliff, he heard Nangong Rou crying behind a tree.

He shook his head and sighed, then walked around the trees and sat next to Nangong Rou.

"Rou'er, if you have something on your mind, you can tell your brother. How can you hide and cry alone?"

Jiang Zhige reached out to wipe Nangong Rou's tears, but she ruthlessly slapped his hand away.

"Asshole! Aren't you going to look for your Senior Sister Qiushui? Why are you looking for me?"

Nangong Rou turned around and was unwilling to face Jiang Zhige. Tears flowed down her face like a stream, her face full of grievance and sadness.

What else could she be worried about? It was all because of Jiang Zhige.

Jiang Zhige sighed again. Nangong Rou looked like she obviously didn't want to explain to him.

"Rou'er, as long as you don't cry, I won't go looking for Senior Sister Qiushui, okay?"

Jiang Zhige looked helpless. Since Nangong Rou was unwilling to explain or understand him, he could only solve the problem from the root.

Although he felt a little sorry for Ning Qiu Shui, he couldn't let Nangong Rou keep crying.

Nangong Rou's crying slowed down after hearing this. She sobbed twice, turned her back to Jiang Zhige and asked in a low voice, "Really?"

Nangong Rou didn't want to see other women having contact with Jiang Zhige, but she also understood how excessive it was for her as a sister to stop her brother from finding a marriage partner.

Jiang Zhige only has brotherly feelings for Nangong Rou. Does he want to stay single for the rest of his life because of this sister?

Jiang Zhige shook his head and smiled, saying, "When has my brother ever lied to you?"

Nangong Rou slowly turned around and looked at Jiang Zhige with tears in her eyes.

"Rou'er, didn't you agree not to cry?"

Jiang Zhige looked distressed and reached out to wipe away Nangong Rou's tears.

Unexpectedly, Nangong Rou suddenly threw herself into his arms and cried even louder.

"Rou'er."

Jiang Zhige was about to say something but stopped himself, so he could only reach out and pat Nangong Rou's back.

Even now he still doesn't understand what makes Nangong Rou care so much.

After a long time, Nangong Rou's crying finally subsided a little.

She looked up at Jiang Zhige and asked with a sob, "Brother, you won't abandon Rou'er in the future, will you?"

Jiang Zhige's eyes felt sore when he heard this, and he almost cried along with Nangong Rou.

He suppressed his emotions and replied in a low voice: "Rou'er, don't worry, I only have you as my sister in my life, and I will stay by your side even in death."

Jiang Zhige could see that Nangong Rou asked this question very seriously, and she was really afraid of being abandoned by her brother one day.

Jiang Zhige accompanied Nangong Rou for seven years, practicing day and night to improve his skills, and hardly interacted with other people, but he still failed to give Nangong Rou the sense of security she deserved.

If a sister starts to worry about being abandoned by her brother, then he is definitely not a good brother.

In Jiang Zhige's opinion, he is such a person.

Facing the talented and beautiful Nangong Rou, he might not even be worthy of being called a brother.

"Brother is the best."

Nangong Rou burst into laughter and hugged Jiang Zhige tightly.

In fact, it wasn’t that Jiang Zhige had failed in his duties as a brother, nor was Nangong Rou insecure. She just cared too much about Jiang Zhige, so she was too afraid of losing him.

Jiang Zhige didn't say anything either. There was a trace of sadness on his brow and he seemed a little negative.

Noticing Jiang Zhige's mood, Nangong Rou thought he was unhappy about Ning Qiu Shui's affairs.

Nangong Rou pondered for a moment, then smiled and said, "Brother, it's not good to reject Senior Sister Qiu Shui, you should go, but Rou'er also wants to go."

Jiang Zhige hesitated and said, "Rou'er, but you..."

Nangong Rou stood up and took Jiang Zhige's hand, saying, "Oh, if we don't go now, Senior Sister Qiushui will be waiting anxiously. Let's go quickly."

She has figured it out. Since Jiang Zhige has her in his heart, why should she be afraid of Ning Qiu Shui?

In terms of appearance, she is not inferior to Ning Qiu Shui, and in terms of feelings, she is the sister that Jiang Zhige cares about the most.

"That's fine."

Jiang Zhige thought about it for a while and agreed to Nangong Rou.

When Ning Qiu Shui saw Nangong Rou coming over, she might tell her about how he broke into the female disciples' courtyard at night, but it was much better to make Nangong Rou angry than to make her sad.

"It seems that in the Demon Emperor's heart, Fairy Nangong is more important. He just doesn't know Fairy Nangong's intentions."

"Think about it carefully. The Demon Emperor has no romantic feelings for Fairy Nangong, but he still gave up Ning Qiushui for Fairy Nangong. This is enough to show how deep his feelings for Fairy Nangong are."

"Yes, in this case, the Demon Emperor gave up love for his sister."

Everyone in the hall was filled with emotion. If they were to put themselves in Jiang Zhige's shoes, they would certainly not be able to do what Jiang Zhige did.

Some people even began to misunderstand Jiang Zhige. For the sake of his sister, he was willing to give up a beautiful Taoist partner who was as pretty as a fairy?

The light and shadow scene changed, Lingshou Peak and Crane Garden.

Ning Qiu Shui also arrived early and was feeding the cranes when he had nothing to do.

The disciples from the Spirit Beast Peak not far away didn't dare to look at Ning Qiu Shui for too long and could only glance at her secretly occasionally.

Even though Ning Qiu Shui never wears makeup and her face is covered with a veil, her pair of crystal clear eyes and slender figure are enough to make most men's hearts beat faster.

It is rumored that if Ning Qiu Shui took off her veil, even the moonlight would be eclipsed.

The reason why she covered her face with a veil was that she didn't want to cause a sensation every time she went out.

At this moment, Jiang Zhige and Nangong Rou arrived late.

Ning Qiu Shui looked over when he heard the voice and found that Nangong Rou had also followed over. His face suddenly turned dark.

In fact, she had expected this, but she thought Jiang Zhige should be on guard, but she didn't expect Nangong Rou to follow him anyway.

Jiang Zhige came forward, cupped his hands and was about to speak, but Ning Qiushui interrupted him with a faint voice: "You are really a piece of wood."

How can you have a date with a beautiful woman and have her younger sister by your side?

"Senior Sister Qiushui, please forgive me."

Jiang Zhige did not explain, but just bowed and saluted.

Nangong Rou crossed her arms and said proudly, "Bad sister, you can't take my brother away with me here."

Ning Qiu Shui couldn't help but laugh. Looking at Nangong Rou's attitude, it seemed that she wanted to compete with her for Jiang Zhige based on her strength.

"Alright, alright, it's getting late, let's go to Baihai Mountain first."

Ning Qiu Shui didn't care too much and waved to the cranes next to him.

Just as I thought before, with her experience and beauty, how could she be afraid of a little girl?

It’s a good thing that Nangong Rou came. When she sees how Jiang Zhige is attracted to her, maybe she will give up those unrealistic thoughts about Jiang Zhige.

Brothers and sisters are brothers and sisters. Even if they are not related by blood, crossing the line is considered a taboo in human relations.
