"I don't care, anyway, it was Senior Brother who saved my life, so I will definitely remember this kindness." Yuan Tinglu bit her lip and looked at Song Yan firmly.
"I...I've admired you, Senior Brother, for a long time. I wonder if you could give me a chance..."
"Please, senior brother, don't refuse me."
Song Yan smiled and rejected her feelings: "Junior sister, I'm grateful that you like me as your senior brother, but I've always only felt brotherly affection for you, nothing more. I'm sorry I can't accept your feelings, and besides, I already have someone I love."
Yuan Tinglu's expression changed slightly, and her eyes instantly reddened: "So, Senior Brother has someone he likes? But... I've liked Senior Brother for a long time too. Why can't Senior Brother let go of someone unattainable and choose me?"
"Senior brother has kept himself pure and upright all these years, and has never had any ambiguous relationships with anyone. Even so, that person still hasn't agreed to be with you. Why should you hang yourself on one tree?"
Yuan Tinglu said confidently, "Besides, I'm also very outstanding!"
"Junior sister, you are indeed very outstanding," Song Yan said earnestly, "but matters of the heart cannot be forced. I cannot easily give up on the person I like."
As Song Yan spoke, his gaze drifted towards the interior of the room, his meaning quite clear.
Yuan Tinglu was taken aback. She should have guessed long ago that her senior brother really liked her senior sister; she hadn't failed to notice it.
This matter had already spread throughout the sect.
However, they never actually got together. Yuan Tinglu felt that she was no less capable than her senior sister and believed that she had a chance, which is why she spoke up so enthusiastically.
"But... I don't mind. As long as Senior Brother hasn't officially won the beauty's heart, I still have a chance." Yuan Tinglu's eyes sparkled with anticipation. "This is a fair chance to compete!"
"Junior sister, you are very good, but my mind is made up." Song Yan shook his head, indicating that he had no feelings for her. "A woman should not belittle herself. Since I have already rejected you, junior sister, there is no need for you to continue choosing me!"
"You said yourself, don't hang yourself on one tree. I already have someone I like, you can always give up on me. There are plenty of excellent people out there. Junior sister is so wonderful, you can choose someone better!"
Yuan Tinglu was initially somewhat unwilling, but after thinking about it, she realized it wasn't a good idea to keep bothering him; what her senior brother said made sense.
She is also an excellent and confident person. Her senior brother has rejected her twice, so why should she persist?
Looking at the handsome and exceptionally talented Song Yan before her, Yuan Tinglu finally nodded. "Thank you for your guidance, Senior Brother. I hope we can continue to cultivate together and strive for excellence, just like before!"
Song Yan smiled and nodded.
"Alright, I'll wait until you catch up to me in cultivation, Junior Sister!"
"Don't worry, Senior Brother!" Yuan Tinglu smiled as she left, and before leaving, she winked at Song Yan.
Although her confession of feelings failed, Yuan Tinglu was not discouraged.
On the contrary, I feel that this failure is something to be thankful for.
At least, Song Yan rejected her directly, without beating around the bush or trying to lure her in.
Moreover, he was willing to discuss spiritual matters with her.
