"..." Nian Wanzhou retreated silently, trembling and hiding behind the door, unwilling to approach Le Xi, and did not even offer a word of comfort.
What could possibly be said?
This senior brother is scary! Second senior brother, don't cry, I'm scared!
"Senior sister, help! Second senior brother has gone mad! He said he likes me, but I rejected him, and now he's crying like this. It's so scary!" Nian Wanzhou's expression was genuinely frightened, and her eyes were filled with tears, making her look like she was quite frightened.
Lexi buried her head and wept bitterly, while Nian Wanzhou trembled with fear, creating a somewhat chaotic scene.
"He likes you... that's true, why did you reject him?" Wei Wenru didn't quite understand the situation, so she asked first.
Song Yan: "Wanwan, Lexi... he didn't go crazy, he just expressed his feelings for you."
"What does he mean by 'showing affection'? I think he's just trying to tease me. He was so scary just now! I'm not talking to him anymore!" Nian Wanzhou shook her head like a rattle-drum. "If he keeps messing with me like this, I'm going to get angry!"
Le Xi's sobs grew louder again. He was truly aggrieved. He had done so much for Nian Wanzhou in the sect, and before he could even say anything, he was already being disliked.
It's one thing to be rejected after confessing his feelings, but he's now incredibly embarrassed!
Wei Wenru wanted to offer a few more words of advice: "You... Wanwan, why don't you think about whether Lexi is serious?"
Lexi is serious. If the two like each other, it would be a good thing. If they don't, then forget it; it depends on Wanwan's opinion.
"What am I thinking?" Nian Wanzhou's face scrunched up, and she raised her voice, "What exactly did you come to see me for? I told you we don't get along, and you can't try to match us up. I didn't mean that! Um, I'm leaving now, don't come looking for me!"
She quickly ran out, taking the food from Song Yan's hand, and then ran away without looking back.
"Hey, wait, Wanwan, come back!" Song Yan tried to chase after her and stop her.
Wei Wenru pulled her back: "You deal with your junior brother first, I'll go find him for Wanwan." She didn't want to face the crying Lexi either; her sobbing was really annoying.
She could tolerate Wanwan's crying because she raised her like a daughter, Lexi's...
Wei Wenru didn't think she could remain calm looking at a man's tearful face, especially since Lexi was crying so hard, and she still had to comfort him...
He used to be alright, but he's not a little kid anymore!
Wei Wenru sighed helplessly, "What a load of rubbish," turned around and walked out of the room, heading in the direction Nian Wanzhou had left in.
It's important to soothe my daughter.
Nian Wanzhou got goosebumps all over; she had finally escaped and she didn't want to go back.
Hurry up and scout out the Demon Lord's location!
She ran incredibly fast, as if afraid of being caught. The Demon Lord was such a good excuse!
Inside the inn.
Looking at Le Xi's red eyes, Song Yan couldn't help but frown slightly and shook his head, saying, "Wanwan didn't know you liked her, so it's normal that she rejected you. Don't be too sad. If it's not right, don't force it. Le Xi, you're not a child anymore."
Le Xi's voice was hoarse: "I did so much for her, even defied the Sixth Elder, just wanting her to be free. Before I could even say any of that, she ran away, I..."
Song Yan was exasperated: "I told you a long time ago not to be so hasty, to take it step by step, but you just wouldn't listen. Now you've scared everyone away. If she disappears again, we won't be able to find her again."
"I... I just missed you so much that I couldn't help but pour out my heart. I never expected Wanwan to think I was teasing her and run away." Lexi lowered her head, her dark eyes glistening with tears, looking very pitiful.
Seeing him like this, Song Yan didn't know which side to feel sorry for: "I know Wanwan is a simple child. Perhaps you shouldn't have confided in her in such a radical way. I hope you won't do this again in the future, after all..."
Not quite right, not quite good either.
Le Xi looked up at Song Yan, feeling a pang of sadness, as if she were an outsider among the five disciples.
They all sided with Nian Wanzhou, feeling sorry for the younger one, while they, the second child, were ignored.
"I understand, I won't do it again, don't worry, Senior Brother." Le Xi's gaze turned cold again, as if he hadn't just been crying.
Song Yan was terrified that his second junior brother was getting stuck on something, so he quickly added, "Otherwise, it will be very awkward for the two of you to see each other again in the future. You might as well put your minds at ease and focus on your cultivation. Your senior brother is not biased towards either of you. When Wanwan comes back, the four of us will have a reunion dinner."
Lexi didn't respond, but nodded silently.
Seeing him like this, Song Yan didn't know what to say.
He knew that Le Xi was proud and arrogant, but she was only like that because she liked Nian Wanzhou so much.
Hopefully he can come to terms with it.
Wei Wenru searched for a long time but couldn't find Nian Wanzhou, so she had to return to the inn to wait for her.
Seeing her return alone, Song Yan couldn't help but ask with concern, "How did it go? Didn't you run into Wanwan?"
"She ran too fast, I couldn't catch up, so I had to come back and wait for her," Wei Wenru said helplessly, thinking of the demons outside. "There are only demons outside, so it's not good to make a big fuss about finding her. They have too much prejudice against cultivators."
Le Xi looked behind her with concern, and sure enough, she didn't see anyone.
"She must have gone to take care of something. She even told me that we would be a hindrance to her and that she didn't want us to follow her." Thinking of Nian Wanzhou's explanation before, Le Xi couldn't help but feel a little angry again, but more than that, she was worried that her running around might cause trouble.
Lexi relayed her excuse to the two of them.
“She’s been traveling alone for a whole year, so it’s unlikely she’d run into any trouble. She must have something she can’t say about it. Forget it, let’s just wait here as she says. She’s not even afraid of the black fog.” Wei Wenru thought for a moment and decided to leave Nian Wanzhou alone for the time being.
Children grow up and have their own ideas.
Song Yan agreed with this view: "That makes sense. Since she said she would be a hindrance, let's just wait for her here."
Otherwise, there's no other way; Nian Wanzhou has a lot of ideas of her own.
Lexi couldn't say anything, since the person had run away and couldn't be found. Saying more would only make people dislike her.
He should continue to learn from his senior brother.
Can……
Those two are so lovey-dovey!!
They were inseparable the whole way out; he was like a radiant light, constantly watching them being affectionate.
It has to be said that the relationship between the senior brother and senior sister has become even better. Since the junior sister's accident, they have become even more indulgent towards her.
They're practically free-range.
Le Xi, dejected, gave them space to whisper amongst themselves, then went out for a stroll, intending to buy some small items to appease her junior sister.
As night fell, the sky was covered with dark clouds, and the moon hid behind the clouds, blocking most of the light.
Nian Wanzhou hid in the shadows, watching the demons pacing back and forth beneath the vast mansion.
