"Third junior sister, please stop teasing the little junior sister."
A clear, familiar voice successfully snapped Shushu out of her daze. Without even thinking, Shushu knew it was her senior brother, Lu Li.
Sure enough, as soon as she turned her head, she met Lu Li's handsome face and his gentle, smiling eyes.
"Senior Brother."
Upon seeing this, the yam immediately grinned and gave Lu Li a big smile, while happily shouting.
This lively state shows no sign of the fear that came from just experiencing a rollercoaster of emotions.
"How was it? You weren't scared, were you?"
Seeing her so carefree, Lu Li knew she probably wasn't scared, but he still asked her with concern.
After asking, he reached out to take Shushu back, wanting to see if she was injured.
But as soon as he reached out, the dashing woman holding the millet dodged him, clearly indicating that she had no intention of giving him the millet.
"Um?"
After Lu Li's hand missed, he raised an eyebrow and looked at the instigator, who was none other than his third junior sister, Xu Ruoyun, who had just returned to the sect.
"Senior Brother, I just got back and this is the first time I've met Junior Sister. You can't take her from me."
Xu Ruoyun was not afraid of Lu Li and did not back down when facing him. She even argued back while moving the sweet potato to the other side, not intending for Lu Li to touch it.
After doing all this, she put on a serious face at Lu Li, as if warning him not to steal her junior sister away.
"Shushu, this is your third senior sister, Xu Ruoyun. She should have just returned from her training. Get to know her."
Seeing her like this, Lu Li carefully observed her and, after confirming that she genuinely liked sweet potatoes and had no ulterior motives, did not immediately ask for the sweet potatoes back.
Instead, she turned her head to look at the sweet potato that she had moved to the other side and introduced it to her.
"Third junior sister, this is Master's new apprentice, named Shushu. Master and Mistress should have told you about him, right?"
After introducing the millet to the sorghum, Lu Li continued to introduce it to Xu Ruoyun.
"Hmph, you don't need to tell me. Of course, Master and Mistress told me. I even prepared a lot of gifts for my junior sister."
Xu Ruoyun snorted at Lu Li's introduction, as if she was somewhat unconvinced.
This resentment wasn't directed at Shushu, but at Lu Li. The two siblings had different personalities, and although Lu Li was gentle, he was extremely distant and aloof towards everyone.
Unless absolutely necessary, he rarely interacts with others, whether they are other disciples of the Liuyue Sect or his own junior brothers and sisters.
Xu Ruoyun has a straightforward personality, unlike Lu Li. Moreover, she has been tricked by Lu Li a few times, so every time she sees Lu Li, she will grumble a few words and even deliberately go against him.
Of course, whether Lu Li tricked Xu Ruoyun or Xu Ruoyun disliked Lu Li, if something serious really happened, the senior and junior siblings would still side with each other and protect each other.
For example, when Wen Jianxi tried to make a move against Xu Ruoyun, Lu Li, who noticed it, gave her a stern warning.
If Xu Ruoyun hears anyone slandering Lu Li, she will not hesitate to teach those people a lesson.
Moreover, in Shushu's memory of his previous life, after Lu Li was wrongly framed by Wen Jianxi, the entire clan protected Lu Li, including Xu Ruoyun.
So even though these two senior and junior disciples seem to talk at odds, they actually consider each other family; it's just that they express it in a somewhat awkward way.
Or perhaps, this camaraderie is deeply hidden; neither of them is good at expressing themselves, and it only shows when something truly happens.
Back to the present, after Xu Ruoyun retorted a few times to Lu Li, she immediately changed her attitude towards Shushu completely, becoming unusually gentle.
"So your name is Shushu (Shushu)? That's a nice name. You live up to your name, oh no, I mean you're a mouse that lives up to your name. You're also very cute, all white, and you've even reached the Foundation Establishment stage. That's amazing."
Xu Ruoyun first praised the name of Fan Shushu, complimented Shushu's appearance and cultivation, and then introduced herself.
"Come, come, junior sister, let me formally introduce myself. I am your third senior sister, named Xu Ruoyun. I am a sword cultivator, the very powerful kind. If anyone dares to bully you in the future, just tell your senior sister, and I will help you beat them up. Sword cultivators are never afraid. Sword cultivators forge ahead and no one can stop them."
In the end, Xu Ruoyun even shouted a slogan, as if this could prove the power of sword cultivators.
It's unclear whether she created the slogan herself or someone taught her to use it.
Whether it shocked Shushu or not, Lu Li was speechless after hearing it, and at the same time, he secretly complained in his heart.
Did his master specially screen his disciples? The female disciples he accepted were either simple-minded or silly, while the male disciples were all as cunning as sieves.
"Okay, thank you, Third Senior Sister."
Unfortunately, Shushu didn't share Lu Li's feelings. After hearing Xu Ruoyun's declaration, she instantly thought this third senior sister was very adorable and was currently frantically asking for a sticker from her.
Who wouldn't love a dashing and confident young lady with an aura of dominance?
"Good boy/girl~"
Xu Ruoyun was clearly captivated by Shushu's adorable appearance, not only responding to Shushu's affectionate touches but also showering him with several head pats.
After finishing everything, he thought his junior sister was extremely cute, and then he started rummaging through his storage ring to take things out.
"Junior sister, this is a gift from your third senior sister. Take it and use it as you like. If you need more, come back to your senior sister. Or if you need anything, just tell your third senior sister and she will find it for you."
"Third Senior Sister, that's enough, that's enough, I can't hold you any longer."
Shushu hadn't expected that her third senior sister would be so extravagant, instantly having several storage bags hanging from her body.
If Xu Ruoyun hadn't been holding her in her hands, she probably would have been crushed to the ground by these storage bags.
"Alright, take a look at the things inside when you have time. If you need anything else, just tell your senior sister. I haven't prepared properly yet, so I'll take you to the market to buy it later."
Xu Ruoyun only noticed her current situation after Shushu finished speaking.
Seeing his petite junior sister almost submerged in the storage bag, he felt a little embarrassed and touched his nose guiltily before taking the storage bag off her body, while making sure to reassure her.
"No need, no need, I have enough. Thank you, Third Senior Sister, hehe."
The moment the storage bag was removed, Shushu felt a weight lift from his body and let out a long sigh of relief.
After hearing what Xu Ruoyun said next, she remembered her senior brother's arrogant behavior when he took her to the market last time, and she shook her head like a rattle drum.
That kind of experience is enough once; she doesn't want to go through it a second time.
