Wei Wenru rushed back to the sect leader without stopping, but was blocked by Le Xi on her way to find Nian Wanzhou.
"Senior sister, you're back..." Upon seeing the person she had been longing for day and night, Le Xi's eyes were overflowing with love. She pretended to be very weak and wanted to collapse into Wei Wenru's arms.
Startled, Wei Wenru reached out and caught him, asking worriedly, "Junior brother, what happened to you? Are you still injured?"
"Cough cough, senior sister, I'm fine, it's just that I haven't seen you in a long time..." Le Xi wanted to tell the other person with deep affection, and then take this opportunity to express her longing.
However, Wei Wenru simply accepted it and did not want to get too close to him. "Don't wander around if you're not fully recovered. If it gets worse, wouldn't that be a waste of everyone's time and energy to treat you? How old are you? How can you still be so insensible?"
After being scolded like that, Le Xi's eyes turned red. His senior sister... she would never have scolded him like that before.
"I understand, Senior Sister..."
Wei Wenru shook her head helplessly, straightened him up, and looked him straight in the eyes: "My tone was a bit harsh, but Lexi, you are no longer the child who needed someone to accompany you. I will no longer treat you like a child."
After saying this, Wei Wenru did not intend to continue discussing anything else with Le Xi, leaving him alone to think.
She wasn't unaware of Lexi's feelings for her, which had already blossomed into romantic love, but she always regarded Lexi as her junior brother, a feeling quite different from that of Song Yan.
As if it were destined, from the day they met, Wei Wenru felt a strange attraction between her and Song Yan. She had never revealed this to anyone else, not even her father.
When she decided to become Song Yan's Daoist partner, that special feeling in her heart became even stronger, and the two of them progressed faster in their cultivation together.
There were reasons for her choice of Song Yan; frankly, she preferred a man who could stand beside her.
Now, she doesn't want to publicize her private affairs too much, but for someone like Lexi who has feelings for her, it's better to just reject her directly.
Wei Wenru knew from the beginning that she was a woman destined to be independent and capable, second to none. If she were to choose someone to accompany her, that person had to be someone of equal ability, someone she could be comfortable with, and someone of good character.
If not, she would rather be alone.
To her, Lexi was just like a younger brother, and she never had any romantic feelings for him.
So, it's best to politely decline his affections. Maybe he's just overly dependent on her and has mistaken it for romantic love.
Lexi watched as the person he cared about left him behind and walked away. In an instant, he ran back to his cave and cried.
Hiding in the shadows, Song Yan thought: "You little brat, Le Xi, how could you have such thoughts about your senior sister? That's really immoral... except for him."
......
Wei Wenru headed straight for the herb garden, and as soon as she arrived, she saw three... mud monkeys working hard in the herb field. They were so focused that no one noticed she was there.
"Senior Sister, you're back!" Nian Wanzhou was the first to spot Wei Wenru, immediately rushing over to hug her. The familiar scent dispelled all her fear and anxiety. "Senior Sister, I missed you so much~"
Wei Wenru No. 4 hugged the little girl without any disgust and gently wiped the dust off her body. "I missed you too. Why are you getting these kinds of herbs as soon as you get back? Are you healed? Let me see how you are."
(If Lexi heard this gentle tone and heard this stark difference in treatment, he would probably cry for four or five days.)
"Senior sister, I'm fine now. It's second senior brother who's injured." Nian Wanzhou hugged Wei Wenru and chattered on about her experiences in the Flood Dragon Clan, including fighting, stealing food, and getting into trouble with Yuheng.
It's like a kindergarten child coming home from school, telling their mother about their whole day, and the mother listening and laughing.
Every now and then, he would praise the child.
Nan Yu and her companion wisely went to farm, so as not to disturb Nian Wanzhou and her senior sister's happy time together.
Nian Wanzhou spoke with great enthusiasm, but Wei Wenru only answered her half-heartedly. By the time she finished speaking, it was already dark.
Looking at the gradually darkening night sky outside, and then looking down at Nian Wanzhou, Wei Wenru's expression became serious.
Such a cute and innocent little junior sister had to go through such inhuman ordeals. If she hadn't found out from those thieves that someone had seriously harmed her junior sister, she would have thought that Nian Wanzhou hadn't encountered anything wrong.
But seeing Nian Wanzhou's sparkling eyes, she regained her composure, patted her head, and said, "Wanwan, are you hungry? How about your senior sister cooks for you today?"
"Really? Thank you, senior sister. I want to eat meat, lots and lots of meat!" Nian Wanzhou nodded, looking greedy.
"Alright, senior sister will take you to eat something delicious!" Wei Wenru affectionately pinched the tip of her nose and called the two silly girls to go eat together.
The two idiots assisted, while the eldest idiot, Song Yan, was instructed to bring Le Xi to dinner. It was rare for everyone to be together, and they finally had time to get together. Wei Wenru didn't care about anything else and invited them all to have a meal together.
"Senior sister, you're so nice, I like you the most~" Nian Wanzhou happily wriggled in Wei Wenru's arms like a worm, and then kissed her cheek, leaving a drool mark.
"Your senior sister likes you the most too." Wei Wenru smiled and pinched her chubby cheeks. "Let's go eat~"
From cooking to eating, everyone was in perfect harmony, except... Le Xi and Song Yan.
For some reason, the two were standing very close together, but the atmosphere was particularly awkward, giving the impression that they were vying for each other's affections.
Normally, Song Yan is gentle, polite, and elegant, and it is very rare for him to be so indifferent to his junior brothers, which is quite puzzling.
"Senior Brother, Senior Sister made your favorite stir-fried chicken and vegetables today!" Nian Wanzhou happily picked up a piece of chicken and gave it to Song Yan, hoping he would eat it.
Song Yan glanced at Wei Wenru and coughed awkwardly, then remained silent. He lowered his head and ate slowly, his face flushed as he thanked her, "Thank you, junior sister, and... senior sister."
Anyone with eyes can see what's going on.
However, with a simpleton like Nan Yu, Zhao Zhishan focused on preparing food for Nian Wanzhou, a sullen Le Xi, and Nian Wanzhou busy stealing food... no one else noticed anything amiss.
"Eat up, it was made especially for you." Wei Wenru smiled gently, her eyes filled with tenderness and affection as she looked at him.
This made Song Yan very happy.
