Under the gaze of everyone, Shen Zhuo sat down next to Yu Xingwu, unable to ignore the pale little face beside him that had lost all its color.
As early as the day he left the sect, Shen Zhuo saw Yu Xingwu and her pale and haggard face.
But he knew clearly that the reason why she looked pale and weak was definitely not because of the broken engagement.
All the news about broken engagement in the Xuan Yujian were false. The only correct thing was probably that the unmarried Taoist couple eventually became senior and junior brothers and sisters.
He still remembered the day when she became his disciple, and he was happy to have a new junior sister.
Zhaoyao Peak has the fewest disciples. Seeing that the brothers and sisters in other peaks all have little sisters, he and Ye Su also want to have a little sister.
Until the master really accepted a female disciple, he told himself to pamper his little junior sister and treat her well just like the brothers and brothers from other peaks.
But then, everything changed.
Yu Zheng beat him and threatened him to agree to the marriage. He hated the feeling of being forced and began to get tired of his only junior sister.
I thought he would continue to hate her like this until that day when he heard her voice.
He then realized that her love for him was fake, and that the forced engagement was something she wanted to cancel, which made him feel like he was being played around with.
At that time, he felt more angry and annoyed with her. It was not until he heard the word "mission" that he truly understood that everything she did was for the mission, for the so-called plot.
Seeing that she clearly didn't like him, but pretended to like him and said things that she liked him, he should obviously hate her, but then he thought that she was forced to do this because of the mission.
He was forced to marry her, and she was forced to do the mission. Suddenly he was confused. They were both forced, and both had to fight to survive and could not resist. He hated her, so who should she hate?
Seeing her always doing her tasks with a smile on her face and never complaining about anything, he began to ask himself, maybe he hated the wrong person, and everything she did was out of necessity, just to survive.
He let her earn points from him, and seeing her happy expression, he was also surprised that she would use the points she earned to buy him the Withered Sword.
She saw the whole process of murdering the third elder. He thought that after she saw him killing someone, she would not only be afraid of him but also despise what he did.
But she didn't, she covered up for him, lied for him, cleared him of suspicion, and there was not a trace of contempt or hatred in her eyes when she looked at him.
Even if her liking for him was fake, she was sincere at that moment when she lied to protect him.
Perhaps after this incident, he had given up the idea of breaking off the engagement, and even felt that watching her act every day was a very interesting and wonderful thing. He just didn't expect that Yu Zheng would force him to break off the engagement with her.
At the moment he crushed the jade pendant, he finally understood why he didn't want to cancel the engagement and why he asked her knowingly whether she had ever liked him.
But he understood it too late. Now the jade pendant is broken, the engagement is canceled, and he is just her senior brother.
When Shen Zhuo sat down next to Yu Xingwu, Yu Xingwu felt that the air was a little cold, which made her seriously suspect that Yu Zheng had caused trouble for Shen Zhuo again before they set off.
What I'm saying is, it's fine if she's the only one seeking death, but can you please not follow her to seek death! The engagement has been cancelled, so Yu Zheng should stop causing trouble for Shen Zhuo. If he really makes the villain turn evil, he will be responsible!
Yu Xingwu did not listen carefully to the elders’ speeches afterwards.
The general meaning is that you must act cautiously after entering the Mirror Island, and your life and death depend on yourself.
Because there were disciples from other sects entering the island, they were specifically told to stay united and were divided into groups of ten people each.
This time, the grouping is not based on which peak you are a disciple of, but on the disciples' cultivation professions.
Every team must have sword cultivators, knife cultivators, physical cultivators, medical cultivators and alchemy cultivators.
The nine sword-cultivating brothers were not grouped together. After all, when it comes to who can best withstand damage when encountering monsters, that depends on their physical cultivation!
In case someone in the team gets injured, there must be someone with medical skills who can provide timely treatment.
After the disciple meeting ended, the brothers and sisters tacitly did not get up and leave, and even sat in their seats and chatted, but she noticed that they were secretly looking at her.
Suddenly, she understood.
They actually just wanted to gossip and were curious whether she would still pester Shen Zhuo after her engagement was broken off. This shows that her dog-licking personality is deeply rooted in people's hearts.
System: "Host, your ex-husband just glanced at you from the corner of his eye! Pay attention to him!"
[…If you mention your ex-husband again, I will sew your mouth shut with a needle.]
System: “…” Instead of saying ex-husband, how about saying ex-husband’s brother?
"If you don't want to talk, then don't talk. Then the host should pay attention to him! Everyone is waiting to see!"
[No, didn’t you tell me that when he left that night, he told me to take care of myself and not to bother him anymore? Now you’re asking me to bother with him again.]
Shen Zhuo: “?”
Sword Master Fengchen: Well, I can tell from the moment I heard that it was said by my second disciple.
Ye Su: Shen Zhuo really still doesn't like Junior Sister. Before, he thought that Shen Zhuo was reluctant to break off the engagement with Junior Sister because he was gradually falling in love with her. It seems that he was overthinking it.
System: "Host, although you have broken off the engagement, according to the original plot you will not give up, and will blame the breaking off of the engagement on the heroine, so the host still has to continue to maintain his dog-licking persona~"
【……】
System: "Host, don't look so miserable. Think about the points, the mission, and going home! Our story is progressing so smoothly. The host can't lose his character at this time!"
As long as the host still maintains her character of being a bootlicker towards Shen Zhuo, she will not develop any emotional connection with the male lead. In this way, the official pairing of the male and female lead will be stable!
This president is really smart, ahahahaha——! (≧?≦)
Yu Xingwu: “…”
Tong's words seemed to make sense, and she couldn't refute them. However, the engagement had already been cancelled, and she didn't really want to bother Shen Zhuo anymore from the bottom of her heart.
But she still has to maintain her image as a bootlicker. But let's forget about those love words for now. She really can't say them now that the marriage has been called off.
But if she ignored Shen Zhuo in front of everyone at this time, her character would be ruined. Well, just satisfy you spectators this time.
He stood up and said, "Second Brother, the cabin is too stuffy. I want to go to the deck to see the scenery! Second Brother, can you accompany me? I have something to say to you."
[Hey, don't you guys want to eat melons? I deliberately aroused your curiosity. Now you all want to know what I'm going to say to him, right? I won't tell you~]
System: “…” The host knows how to create hot spots!
Fengchen Sword Master: Traitor, I'll kill you!
Ye Su: Junior sister is so adorable. I am really curious. What on earth does the junior sister want to say to Shen Zhuo?
Everyone: It's raining heavily outside, the rain is pouring down, why go to the deck of the ship! Junior Sister Yu can say whatever you want to say here!
We are all from the same sect, so don't be angry with each other! The content of tonight's story is all provided by Junior Sister Yu!
At the same time, they were even more curious about whether Shen Zhuo would go. After all, the engagement had been called off, and Shen Zhuo certainly didn't want to be entangled with Junior Sister Yu anymore, so they felt that Shen Zhuo most likely would not go!
Shen Zhuo: "Okay."
Everyone: “?!”
