"Are you going on an adventure?" Le Xi was even more reluctant to let go, but Nian Wanzhou dodged her hand.
The other person still looked puzzled, seemingly not understanding why he was being so slow. It was Lexi who broke the silence first: "It's nothing, I'm just a little nervous about you... This is no small matter, after all, you suffered a loss in the Black Mist before."
"Not anymore." Nian Wanzhou grinned, revealing a row of clean, even teeth. "Don't worry, nothing will happen."
Wei Wenru was unwilling, her face darkened but she didn't say anything.
No one wanted her to take the risk. This time, they came not only to ask for her opinion, but also to persuade her to return to the sect as soon as possible, or let them come with her.
Don't risk your life.
But she actually wanted to cause trouble for the demons.
Wei Wenru went out to calm herself down, unsure of what else she could say if she stayed.
Song Yan followed closely behind.
Liu Lexi and Nian Wanzhou were inside the house, waiting for the food to be served.
Nian Wanzhou didn't chase after him or say anything. She took some snacks from the table, sat down by the window, and stared at one spot.
She's been getting by like this for the past few days.
"Aren't you going to say anything?" Lexi suddenly asked.
Nian Wanzhou stared intently, then asked in confusion, "What am I supposed to say?"
Lexi sat beside her, gazing at her face, her tone tinged with helplessness: "This matter is not simple to begin with. I want to go and see, but I'm afraid of putting you in danger. So, do you think I'm conflicted?"
The three of us who are older than you don't want to see you take risks, but we can't stop you, so we just want to stay by your side and help you.
"You've lost a lot of weight."
Nian Wanzhou nodded: "The blow was too great, I lost some weight, but I'll gain it back soon."
"You can't help me, and you'll only hold me back. If you want to help me, then stay here at the inn and watch over things for me. The biggest help you can give me is to protect yourselves in a safe place."
These arrogant words left Le Xi speechless, yet she also wanted to laugh: "You're just a disciple who joined the sect later than us, why are you saying we're holding you back? You should know that Senior Sister is now at the Integration Stage, how could she possibly be holding us back?"
"Just consider it as us caring about you and not wanting you to take any risks."
Nian Wanzhou didn't want to speak. She quietly looked into the distance, her hand still fiddling with the white light, as if she were controlling something.
"Could you please stop staring at me like that? Ever since we came out of the secret realm, you've been acting extremely strangely. Second Senior Brother, I haven't done anything to offend you, have I?" Finally, Nian Wanzhou couldn't take it anymore. Being stared at like that was making him feel uneasy.
"Or have you gone mad?"
Le Xi was furious: "Yes, I've gone mad. I actually think I like you."
I've been longing for you for a whole year, and you haven't sent me a single message. When we meet, you just give me a greeting. You gave me a bracelet as a gift, which I treasure like a precious gem, but I can't bear to take it out and wear it.
"It's been so long since we last met, and you still give me that sour look, yet you still try to talk to me. You came out of the secret realm? Everyone knows I'm in love with you, but you've been avoiding me. I was afraid of causing you trouble, so I had to explain things to you everywhere. And you? You ran away from home without a word. I tried to persuade you to go back, but you wouldn't. I couldn't even stay with you."
Le Xi was getting impatient, but this time she didn't make a move: "Tell me, what exactly do you want?"
Nian Wanzhou grasped the key point, frowned at him, and said uncertainly, "You like me? You like me, so you embarrassed me on my first day in the sect? So you pushed me out to spar?"
So you've been targeting me all along?
"No, your feelings of affection are just like those between senior and junior brothers, Second Senior Brother, don't confuse the two." Nian Wanzhou finished speaking word by word and took a deep breath.
I was almost scared to death!
Your senior brother, who has always been at odds with you and always bullies you, is like an older brother to you. If he suddenly confesses his feelings to you, anyone would be shocked for a long time.
She wasn't immune to being confessed to by her younger brother from elementary school.
He bullied her every day, pulling her hair, giving her nicknames, and teasing her in front of many people. Back then, everyone said that the boy did this because he liked her, and she was very happy.
She immediately spat it back.
Who would want someone who likes that? They're annoying without even realizing it, yet they still like it.
Get lost!
Then one day, the fool came to tease her again, and she beat him until he cried. He even complained to the teacher.
When the mother arrived, she immediately started yelling: "My sweet, well-behaved daughter is bullied by your son every day. What, just because you like her means you can bully her? Sorry, I've taught my daughter that if anyone treats her badly or bullies her, she should fight back. I'm here as her mother, and if it doesn't work, call the police!"
Her mother was very assertive and powerful in the face of her situation, which frightened everyone and made them afraid to pursue the matter further.
Moreover, other children can testify that it was that little boy who went too far.
If it were Le Xi now, wouldn't she be in a similar situation of hunger? Nian Wanzhou certainly wouldn't like that. Luckily, those rumors didn't reach her, otherwise she might have turned into a demon and started hitting people.
Her main task is to help her senior brothers and sisters achieve enlightenment and then ascend to heaven. She has already accomplished the former, and only the latter remains.
The latter can only be completed after the black fog is resolved.
But she never expected that the second male lead in the book, who was actually her own second senior brother, would want to be her partner!
What kind of nonsense is this?
But seeing Lexi increasingly leaning towards her own feelings, she panicked: My goal is to stick with the official main couple, not to create my own official couple. Get out of here!
Undeterred, Lexi pressed on, "Don't you feel anything at all? I've made it so obvious."
Nian Wanzhou: "Who knows if you're having another fit of madness? Besides, you're always acting crazy and causing trouble in front of me, I don't believe you for a second! You'd better give up on this idea, I won't like you!"
"I'm serious." Le Xi was furious and stood up, wanting to prove herself.
Startled, Nian Wanzhou jumped up and backed away, saying, "Don't do this! I'm telling you, I'm serious! If you keep acting crazy, I'll get angry, and if I get angry, I'll ask my senior sister to deal with you!"
Upon hearing this, Lexi immediately slumped down, clutching her head and wanting to cry.
Why is it so difficult?
Why did the eldest brother succeed? He couldn't, and he even got disliked by Wanwan. He wanted to cry.
Overwhelmed by longing, all her passion and joy vanished. Lexi burst into tears in front of Nian Wanzhou: "Was it easy for me? If I hadn't treated you like that back then, you wouldn't hate me now, sob sob sob."
Wei Wenru pushed open the door and came back. She wanted to be alone again, so why did she come back crying?
He's still the same aloof and arrogant second junior brother.
Isn't this backwards? Shouldn't it be the crybaby Wanwan who's always getting angry? Something's not right here.
Behind him, Song Yan, beaming with joy and with some suspicious pink marks on his lips, happily carried the food. Seeing this scene, my heart really couldn't take it.
